Sorry, not meant as a slam, but someone with only 21 posts, puts up a Rapidshare link for something to flash to a Wizard saying its HardSPL and no other instructions or information... Sorry (again, no offense meant by this) but I wouldn't flash something that is unexplained (if there is another post about this, then at least give a pointer to that in the first post).
FWIW: HardSPL is a way of making your device almost unbrickable. If it works like with the Hermes and Kaiser HardSPL, then you do the steps needed to install this, instead of the old CID unlock procedure of having to go back to the Button ROM and running lokiwiz.
But still, I'd be careful flashing something like this until more is known about it (the source, instructions for the method to install it, etc).
Totally agreed! I wouldn't go for it!
I don't mind to brick my wizard again!

I with you agree, but...
I shall be immodest - please read ALL my messages ;-)
Instructions are not present because I do not wish to be responsible for another's nonsense. To whom it is necessary that will understand.

Lokiwiz has been a trusted and faithful friend. Until I get more info, instructions, screeners even...I will keep using my trusted friend Loki.
No offense to the OP, but "read my other posts" doesn't tell us much. Your other posts are just like this one. Short and to the point, no real info given...nothing telling me how to install/run it. Nothing troubleshooting if an issue should arise. Read the Loki thread, or Dr. P's tutorial...everything anyone needs to know about Loki is there. Yours...not so much.
Hey, all I need is a "no-answer" answer from the poster and that's enough for me to hold back.

Very irresponsible attitude,don't post if you are not sure what it's all about,but if you post than have the courage to standby it.
i tried on my friends wizard not mine.. .copy alll those files on wizard.. and click spl.lnk..and see the difference...

Very true!!
IF, you check his entries, other posts like this one have been made in other device sections. Now how all the mighty guru's here have somehow overlooked this ability, and he has manged to make it happen...
When a dev here releases something, it is does with so much info that if something does happen, a person KNOWS it can be fixed. To say:

Tells me this person really gives a sh*t less about whether or not my usage helps or kills my device. Real nice attitude there...makes me really confident about using the linky.
And to the poster above...you feel so confident about it that you tried it on a friends wizard??? If it does work, as you say, please give us more details about it...since we have none really.
Until we see some directions as well as a bit more transparency from the OP, I'm removing the link. OP, please PM me when you have fulfilled those requirements.

Again, thanks.
Guys dont bombard like this , Prislav has always presented raw content like this in Prophet forum also. Maintaining the terminology, just see diagram, might be useful- simple
But im not favouring any one. please!
I force nobody. Do not want, it is not necessary. To me it is not important.
Well this thread seems nice and hostile .
Unless I am missing something all Prislav has done is to use JumpSPL by Pof (Nice WinCE Tramp by the way ) to fire off a patched G3 SoftSPL and from there let you launch into the ROM update routine.
Prislav’s post may have been a little short on details but there is plenty of info on the board and in his previous threads on the subject. Pof's JumpSPL thread is also a goldmine of info.
Prislav also seems to have been kind enough to provide a patched 'flashable' SPL for G3 devices.
I have not tried this yet (my G3 junkers are at home, so I will tonight) but looking at the dumps of the files and the steps that Prislav has gone through I think this should work.
The SoftSPL seems to contain nothing dangerous and I test launched it on a G4 I have on my desk to no adverse affect (in fact it did almost what I expected, not sure it is putting the device into the correct 'wait for USB' state mind you but it does answer to prods from MTTY ).
Looking at the way the file is patched (and my limited knowledge in this area may let me down, I am more of an ARM Linux hacker) is very interesting. It also looks very much like this could be wrapped into a SoftSPL flashtool that just soft patches a G3 before flashing (and also gives users a choice to flash a HardSPL if wanted, just like we do with G4’s and most modern HTC devices).
Ok,
Just an update to my last post,
I found an old G3 with a broken keyboard under my desk. IPL/SPL 2.17, ancient radio and AKU2.
SoftSPL via JumpSPL from Pof/Prislav seems to work fine .
Converted the Hard-SPL.nb to an nk.nbf (with just the SPL in it).
Flashed the resulting nk.nbf.
Device is now running a patched SPL (2.H4).
Just upgraded device to WM6 from an off the shelf ROM (had Jag 4.0 handy) using the usual NVID update tool.
The end result is an old, unhacked WM5 G3 upgraded to WM6 in a matter of mins.
Download: I will edit this post when I get home and have had a chance to upload the files to my site. - Stuck at work right now.
Edit @ 22:00, 17th Jan: Download is now up here. Use with care and don't come crying to me (or Prislav ).
HowTo: Install PatchedSPL on a G3 Wizard (or just run a SoftSPL if you flash another OS ROM at step 7 with the included flash tool).
Warning: I have only tried this with 2.* IPL’s/SPL’s, I can’t be sure it will not brick devices running 3.* or 1.* IPL’s/SPL’s. It will be a few days before I can test this so if you have a 3.* or 1.* bootloader I would suggest you leave this well alone. Do not try this on a G4, there is no point and you may well brick it .
1: Install latest ActiveSync (If you’re upgrading from WM5-6 your going to need it)
2: Download the rar from my website.
3: Copy the contents of the “Copy to root of G3 Wizard device” folder to the ROOT of your Wizard using ActiveSync.
4: From File Explorer run the SPL shortcut from the root of the device.
5: Wait for the screen to go white (you are now running a patched SoftSPL running from RAM),
6: Unplug and reconnect the USB lead to the PC (you can check the connection with MTTY if your so inclined).
7: Wait a few seconds and start the ROM upgrade in “Flash-WizG3-PatchedSPL”.
If all goes well this will work just like a normal ROM update (without anything shown on your Wizard’s screen) and your device will reboot after a few mins.
Check the version of the SPL running, if it is SPL version 2.H4 all should be fine and your now running a CID unlocked device that can take any Wizard ROM.

What's the difference between CID unlock(using LokiWiz) and this proceudure (Hard Spl)?

To be honest, very little. Both leave you free to flash a ROM of your choice .
This just uses the same 'methods' as used with newer HTC devices and the G4 Wizards.
It will also be easy enough to wrap with ROM's to create 'G3' SoftSPL upgrades that flash to any G3 device without messing about. Just grab the installer, drop your nb.nbf of choice and run the upgrade.
I'll try and bundle up such an installer tonight if I get time.
Hmmm, why do I feel like I have hijacked this thread .
John
So You mean:
You can Create such an installer than given a certain NBF (OS) does even the CID unlock itself.
It would be great

I've ran in to a "not allow" situation by flashing a Singapore or maybe Australia rom.
It maybe caused by a "different CID" problem.
Anyway, my g1 almost bricked, every time it boots to the bootloader.
How can I save it? Need your help.

did you root your phone and install hard SPL, it is very difficult to fix stuff like this if we have no info, first thing i am going to suggest is to download the RC29.nbh from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
and try flashing that, put it on your FAT32 formatted SDcard and rename it DREAIMG.nbh, not DREAMIMG.nbh not dreaimg.nbh and not even dreamimg.nbh, the correct name is DREAIMG.nbh and see if that will flash to your phone.
it's a pretty simple process, read the entire first post and follow all instructions if you haven't already gone through the entire thing. and if you are feeling really ambitious try reading the entire thread.
have a nice day
My Phone is rooted, but I don't remenber whether my SPL's version.
I's sure that is not engeering SPL, and I didn't format my tf card.
I'm trying to use your RC29's nbh.
Thank you.
you seem to be having a lot of issues with your phone, i took a looksee in your previous posts and from what i could tell everytime you have a problem you post a new thread and someone comes in and saves you. not sure, but maybe you should buy a different phone, all 20 posts you have made were issues with your phone or giving more info about the issues.
when your phone boots what does the text say on the screen, and are there three androids on skateboards??? also you need to format the card, unless the card is formatted to FAT32 you will not be able to flash the nbh file to the phone. also where you doing an update.zip or were you trying to flash an nbh you found elsewhere? please give more details, if you were trying an nbh please tell me where you found it, i wanna make sure it was made for the G1 and not for a kaiser or universal
solved.
I can use RC29.
I think I need the hard spl next step
kdtlvybylg,fmjgyngvjy
that was me pounding my head on the keyboard. you did not root your phone if you did not apply the HARDSPL, people need to learn to read, this is not directly at you, though it is a little, but come on you people mess up your phones because you didn't read anything, you didn't search, you just tried to go straight to something that you knew nothing about. personally before i do anything to my phone i do at least 2 hours of research before trying it. maybe it's because i would hate to screw up my phone because i don't have internet to get the answers if i screw up the phone, but seriously if you don't ever read then how do you expect to learn anything.
start reading things cause people are gonna start being rude soon. i hate spoon feeding little girls
Yes I actually rooted my phone, long time ago, I also had it flashed some engeering spl and hard spl later.
But later, I tried some nbhs, maybe they overwritten my hard spl, which was modified not to check the CID.
And, I have to admit that, it's a little difficult for me to read posts in English.
Hi, I recently bought a 2nd hand HTC G1 and tried to flash it to RC29 but kept getting 00028002 not allow in the bootloader. Tried with RC7 as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Was following the thread above to get root...
Made sure the renaming of the image was DREAIMG.nbh , formatted to FAT32, with 4096.
The details are as follows on the bootloader screen after "not allow"
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.14.11

Did I do anything wrong?
Maybe you should try creating a goldcard (SD card) and then you could be able to flash needed rom, you should also check what ver. of the g1 do you have if other than UK/US this will solve the "not allow" problem.
PEOPLE, READ!
A simple google search would help you with the error -.-
I tried but there no useful page.
If you know the link, please post it!

WIth green+menu+red I can reboot the phone which will still be CRC1 and won't start the telnet server.
What'd be next?

Hi. I flashes a signed-spl to my phone via update.zip, now the phone will not load in recovery, nor bootloader mode.
I have place a working .nbh (for BL mode)
and a working update.zip (for rec. mode) on my miniSD
if somebody could please assist me in getting this thing running again, that would be great. thanks!
I have exactly the same problem. Can anybody help?
Which spl did you flash......original, engineering, hard, or haykuro (danger)?
Please tell me you didn't flash the danger spl without installing the latest radio first....

No offense big guy but just downloading and flashing something that you had no idea about probably wasn't the best idea. Where did you get this mysterious SPL from? Perhaps we can help you trace it that way. It sounds as though you bricked though since you have little to offer in the way of retracing your steps so we can help you. What guide did you follow, what radio did you have?
What made you figure that an SPL upgrade would fix your force close error? Did you research any of this?
Yea just like what DirectMatrix said "What would make you think the spl would solve a FC issue".

well i know that the SPLs allow installation of unfamiliar ROMs and allow them to work.. i did this before with a different one and it did the trick. that is why i repeated this process.
To be perfectly honest, this SPL was in my downloads folder and had worked before.. so i flashed it. I have attached the SPL so maybe somebody can check this out? I appolagize for my newbess and impulsiveness lol.
And i believe the radio was NOT v2 =[ i know thats bad..
THE ROM I FLASHED THIS ON TOP OF WAS JFV1.51_CRB43-ADP

Yea thats the same spl I have on my pc that is the "danger" spl. Yep if you flashed that without having the newest radio then you are bricked my friend. And spl has nothing to do with allowing installation of unfamiliar roms. What that spl does is free up more space on our phones to be able to install the hero roms which are larger.
The md5sum of the SPL you posted is the same as Haykuro's danger SPL. What's quite worrying is that you had a 1.5 ROM but not the 1.5 radio, if you had the new radio you would not have bricked. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few dropped calls on 1.5 ;-P You didn't read, flashed something you didn't know about and bricked. My sympathy for you = nil.
new thread idea
I was thinking on my drive home, maybe we should just start a thread titled
TO EVERYONE: FLASH THE RADIO BEFORE YOU FLASH THE DANGER SPL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!
Just start the thread, have it stickied, and have it closed before anyone can post anything in it. Then people wouldn't even have to open a thread, they can just navigate to a forum and have it slap them in the face. Then of course the next logical step is just to start a forum with the same title, then all they have to do is get to the website.....the sad part is people will still brick..

Dude, you gotta calm down a little and try to understand where we're coming from. MODS, I know this is off topic but I feel I have to get this off my chest...>big breath<
[RANT]There are literally hundreds of places within this forum that tell you to flash the radio before the SPL. There are notes and warnings all over the ROM threads, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of posts regarding:
n00b: "I think I bricked"
person trying to help: "can you get into recovery"
n00b: "no, I was trying to flash the new SPL so I could get Hero"
person trying to help: "did you install the radio first"
n00b: "oh no, what's that"
Not to mention you, yourself, mention in your first few posts that you didn't know what it was, you just figured you'd flash it because you thought it would help with some kind of force close. When you do something like that, n00b or not, you are gonna take some flaming from the forum. Sorry this is just how these things work. There are thousands of people on these forums that spend weeks reading before they do anything to their phone, and there are just as many who read for 20 minutes and just start doing things. The very nature of a open forum of this type makes it difficult to have organized data. Everyone seems to understand that but some are unwilling to put in the time necessary to gather all the proper resources and data. Unfortunately, you seem like one of these poor people.[/RANT]
My only comfort to you now is go here and give your phone a proper burial....

My sentiments exactly... You've BRICKED your phone, not had a small glitch that we can fix. Its called brick for a reason because your phone is now only useful as a BRICK! Its not reversible at this time, nor would I suspect it to be reversible in the near future. Next time, read, read, read, read, read... and then read some more before you try to flash some mystery signed-spl.zip that you found on your computer...
yea i made the same mistake a few months back your fones at a better place now...No more updates, no more wipes or backups just ~peace~

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U

Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR

And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!
deleted post
You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

You mean that no person with a general knowledge about flashing rom = busting warranty shouldnt be allowed using a phone?
How do you know anything about what i do with the phone, with what apps im using, and what im using it for?
Mind your own business and come back to the thread when you have something to contribrute.

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
Yes I've done.
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
i`m sorry about the new threat but i`m new here and i could`t find anything to help me ..
how do i boot a new rom to my htc dream ..
i know that in win mobile you need to hard spl first then just download the rom you want and that`s it.. how do i do`it whith a android device?
thank you in advance and i`m sorry again for the new thread
Hold down "Home" and hit "Power." Then hit Alt+F.
Also, this should be in Q&A.
i am actually wanting a step by step instruction.
something from the unboxing to the actual booting proces ..
ok the phone is unboxed obviously and unlocked as well .. what next ?

I like the description of the process on this site. it is complete but a little old. The links should work.

READ THE WHOLE THING FIRST.
Also check out

Lots of the same stuff with more options.
There are new versions of the recovery image and the Roms which are in the development section on xda. Just be sure to read everything a few times and you'll have no trouble.
i will check the site now
thank you
And please please please make sure you understand everything about Haykuro's (Danger/Death) SPL IF you decide to flash it. It's pretty much the only way you can brick your G1. If your ROM doesn't require Death SPL then skip it until you get the hang of flashing things.
