Please do not start new threads for questions that are best treated in the threads specifically dealing with flashing. There are specific threads for HSPL, USPL and a Tutorial discussing and explaining both.
An official spl will not work (unless it is 1.54.0000) but you will still need to use USPL in that case to keep the spl. That being said however, AFAIK the spl will not have any performance related enhancements to the device unless of course you have the wrong one, in which case the performance will be negatively affected.
You have the choice of either using HSPL or USPL for flashing new roms. As you have chosen HSPL this permanently replaces the standard spl (it can be reversed though).
With USPL, the way I understand it (have not tried it myself as I use HSPL), you first upgrade to an official spl - 1.54.0000, and then using UPSL this allows you to "crack" the standard spl to flash a new rom and each time you flash you need to repeat the process.
The difference between USPL and HSPL:
* HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
* USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.

Hey Guys,
sorry, I´m searching the whole time after how to flash just an spl, for an extracting I used the NBH util.
My plan:
1) I want to flash my O2 branded Diamond, without flashing a hardSPL.
2) As I understood, it´s possible just to extract an SPL from the newest HTC rom, and flashing this with DiamondCustomRUU in the first step.
3) After this I should have the possibility to flash a full HTC Rom?
Are there any misunderstandings? because I can´t flash the extracted SPL with DiamondCustomRUU.exe.
What did I wrong, and what should I do?
Cheers, Chris
No one any idea???????????????????????
it might be possible to do this!
but you have to be careful not to get device ID/version different on both the OS or the SPL!
but why not just put hard spl and then revert back to stock SPL when you want to at a later stage! all versions of the stock SPL are availble on the rom developement forum
Hi.
I have the htc blackstone locked on orange. my rom version is 1.19.61.1. i want to remove the software of orange and reinstall the windows as it was from htc company. like a new phone from htc. What to do?

HardSPL will actually install a new SPL to your phone, USPL will not. The advantage of using HardSPL is once you've installed it you can flash as your please to any ROM, when using USPL you must run it every time you want to install a new ROM.
The benefit of using USPL is the official SPL is still installed making it easier to make warranty claims etc.
Hi all,
I really wanted to try out the latest Hero build. So I began the procedure, first by flashing the radio, then the SPL. The radio update went fine. I also installed the new SPL (no errors whatsoever), but when I checked to see whether I had the correct version, it displayed HSPL10.95.3000 (I had installed a HardSPL before). I reapplied Haykuro's SPL update, and still no change. How can I remove the HardSPL, and is it okay to continue the Hero install with my version? I don't want to brick my phone (obviously) and I'm quite a newbie.
You cannot "remove" the SPL. it can only be overwritten by the Haykuro SPL. I suggest re-downloading the Haykuro SPL and flashing it again. Do not flash a hero rom with the SPL that you currently have.
Thanks for the reply. I tried overwriting it again with Haykuro's SPL, but it didn't work. On this website, I found that
The second type of HardSPL is truly HARD...They bypass the vendor checks on ROMs, allowing you to load any ROM onto your device. This is a necessity if you want to run a cooked ROM. They disable overwrite of the current SPL. This is why I say they are truly HARD. So, even if your ROM comes with a new SPL, it won't overwrite your HardSPL.

So, is there a way to remove HardSPL? I've been looking for info on this for hours and found nothing.

Well if you remove HardSPL what SPL will you have for that like 5 minutes or so? Try flashing to Engineering SPL first and then flash Haykuro's Special SPL

Tried it, worked great. Thanks!
Glad it worked peshkata! Could you (or a mod) please edit the title so it stated SOLVED so people know? Thanks!
can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?
if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.
End of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1.
Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.

I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that
According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.
As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed
Hi, I'm due to return my Touch HD back to Orange for a swap for a replacement handset, but I would like to make sure I return it back with the original Stock ROM and SPL.
If I switch on my phone with the vol key pressed, it shows that I have:
SPL-1.56.OliNex
And I am currently using the latest MaryOne ROM.
I have downloaded: RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship which I believe was the original Stock ROM for my phone. It appears that this ROM is the older 1.14 version.
Before flashing my device with this ROM, do I need to downgrade my SPL first? Or is there a way to make the phone use the Stock SPL? (The reason I ask this is because I remember reading the "dummies guide" and it said that in order to use the newer 1.56+ ROM's I had to upgrade the SPL, so my guess is I may need to downgrade now to install a 1.14 ROM?)
Could anyone clarify for me?
Thanks,
WizzKidd

You are correct, if you are using a rom based on 1.14 you need to match the SPL or you'll get screen issues etc. You can either use HSPL 1.14 or return stock 1.14 SPL. All info can be found in this thread including how to return to stock rom & SPL (bottom of first post - section called 'How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!')
