Hi...just a quick question. I was wondering if i want to flash to an official ROM by HTC, but i have flashed various other cooked roms with HardSPL, is it ok? Or do i have to do something about that HardSPL?
THanks!

Yes you can. You can do flash any Rhodium rom with the hacked HardSPL and it won't be overwritten.
you can flash official rom without any worries. but official rom+more & more = custom rom.
Please ask further flashing questions in mskip's flashing guide.

I flashed a cooked ROM a few months back (Alex v.5.20) and I just checked my Tilt and I have spl-1.0. OliPof (CID unlocked it etc.) installed on my phone. Well I would now like to flash a new rom like eOS 4.888.FiRe, or HyperDragon III BlackStone.
Question is (since I forgot some of the steps) what should I do now in order to flash one of these newer roms? Do I need a new hardspl version installed?
Do I need to install the Tilts' vanilla rom first then flash or just flash over the custom rom I have installed now? Its been a few months since I poured over and spent hours on here learning the steps and I forgot some of them. Argggg!!!

Reread the tutorials that will have been updated since then to cover those cases?
And you'll see you just need to reflash the new ROM, and if it's a WM6.1 one update HardSPL to the 3.x version recommended for that new ROM.
Thanks for the reply kilrah, I was already paying my dues and reading the updates but the fact that I could just install over the Alex ROM escaped me. I thought for some reason that I had to reinstall the At&t rom again before flashing the new rom. Must of read that somewhere and I misunderstood it. Thanks for pointing a finger in the right direction.

Read WIKI, should answer all your questions
Search & use the Wiki
First, since you're a noob, no problem asking. But in the future, please use the search function and use the Blackstone Wiki pages to find answers before posting.
XDA Wiki - Blackstone Page -> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
1) SPL
1a) To flash a rom from htc, just follow htc's instructions for installing the rom
1b) To flash a custom rom, you must use a custom SPL (or bootloader) which bypasses htc's built-in security check and allows for custom rom flashing.
1b1) USPL - This is a temporary spl which doesn't stay with the device. Find it here
1b2) HSPL - This is a permanent solution and allows for flashing custom roms many times and doesn't go away after flashing or hard resetting. Find it here
*Note: Please remember to use the donate button to show your appreciation to the software authors for allowing you this functionality
2) Custom ROMs
2a) List of custom roms here. Which cooked rom you use is up to you. On other devices, different cooked roms can offer different functionality and looks. On the HD however, I'm seeing cooked roms simply keeping up with new releases of WinMo and performance enhancements. I use Dutty's rom simply because he's an experienced rom cook and I've used his things on other devices, but you should read what each rom offers and decide for yourself.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!
Cheers! --Jesse

for the original roms you MUST have stock spl i think.do you have it or your stil with hspl?i think hspl.
i used the onilex version 1.56 to flash before i install miri version 12
i downloaded the one from the wiki page
RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship

What is your current SPL version if you check in your bootloader? HSPL 1.56.olinex?
You cannot use the new HSPL (1.56.olinex) with any rom lower than version 1.56. Therefore, flashing the 1.14 Orange rom that you did is giving you incompatibilities.
What rom do you desire to run in the end? You should read the guide in my signature. It explains and covers how to deal with this step-by-step.
my current SPL version 1.56
i would like to run the original shipped orange rom

Is there only RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.2 5.26_1.09.25.14_Ship available? Or does Orange offer a 1.56.xxx.x version rom?
If you can only find the RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.2 5.26_1.09.25.14_Ship rom then you will need to downgrade your SPL to 1.14.0000 in order to run that rom.
ok thanks should v read ur guide more patiently

When you are flashing your phone, are you using USPL or HSPL? I tend to use USPL and the graphic interface to install USPL. Then its as simple as using the RUU. I don't use the sd card method.
If you haven't yet (but l'm sure you must've) read through as much as you can on the flashing procedure on this site as you can before flashing, as there may be a step you are missing or something may need updating first.
Sorry if thats no help

You need to use HSPL 1.56 for roms based on 1.56+.
You can either use HSPL 1.56 or USPL
Flashing guide can be found here and HSPL 1.56 here. Any queries on either please post in relevent thread.

Yeah, you can flash any official Rhodium firmware even if you have HardSPL. I've done it once or twice myself, and it works just fine.

Will it work on t-mobile?
are there any drawbacks?
No, Hard SPL is just a better version of the Stock SPL that allows you to flash more (not less ).
Any more problems, please ask in mskip's Flashing thread.
Thanks,
Dave
