[TUT] How-to: downgrade SPL, flash XSPL, flash Custom ROMs & Radios - HD7 General

begin here​
find out device's Bootloader version. Settings -> About -> More Info
make sure device's battery is greater than 60% before proceeding.
download task 00 and task 29, here and extract contents.
note. USB drivers may need install. e.g. Active Sync / Windows Mobile Device Center
continue to next Step according to Bootloader version...
instructions to downgrade OSPL​
if Bootloader version is 5.xx
a. for those with a Pre-Mango Zune Backup,
- see Zubair Kirmani's thread, here.
b. for Europe devices,
- see ansar.ath.gr's thread, here.
c. for everybody else,
- try Y-Cable method here
- or Goldcard method here.
if Bootloader version is 4.xx
download non-Test NoDo or Pre-NoDo Radio specific to your device, here.
extract the contents of the 7-zip.
turn off device. then while pressing the volume down button, boot your device.
device should be in Multi-Colored screen, which says 'Serial' in the white section.
connect device via USB to PC
device should now say 'USB' in the white section.
in the 'stock' folder of the extracted Radio, flash SPL_Signed.nbh using task 00.
note. this will also downgrade the Radio, as well as the SPL.
once flash successfully finishes, disconnect device from USB.
repeat Steps #1, #2 & #5.
instructions to install RSPL​
if Bootloader version is 3.xx or 2.xx or 1.xx
download XSPL, here.
extract the contents of the rar.
run DFT_RSPL..._LAUNCH.exe
please, read information text. select 'Next' button.
power off device and enter Bootloader.
connect device via USB to PC, 'Serial' will change to 'USB' once connected properly.
select 'Next' button on the XSPL wizard and it should now detect your device.
note. do not proceed if OSPL is 5.xx or 4.xx, instead go to Step 05.
select the closest OSPL, on the wizard, to the one on device.
select 'Next' button. wait until wizard proceeds to final page. read and close window.
note. device must boot into Bootloader.
if Bootloader reads RSPLX.Y.Z and CotullaRSPL, then RSPL was successful.
continue to Step #30 or #38.
instructions to install HSPL​if RSPL'd and HSPL is desired
make sure RSPL wizard is closed.
run DFT_HSPL..._INSTALL.exe
please, read information text. select 'Next' button.
device should already be RSPL'd and connected to PC, still.
select 'Next' button. wizard should detect your device.
select HSPL, then select 'Next' button. wait until wizard proceeds to final page.
read and close window, then disconnect device from USB.
enter Bootloader on device, if it reads HSPLX.Y.Z and CotullaHSPL, then flash was successful.
instructions to install a Shipped or Custom ROM​
if a different OS is desired
download ROM of choice. Shipped ROMs are available, here.
extract RUU_Signed.nbh (if Shipped ROM) or RUU_Unsigned.nbh (if Custom ROM).
note. flashing a RUU_Signed.nbh will also replace device's R/HSPL to OSPL of ROM.
bring device into Bootloader and connect to PC via USB.
flash extracted *.nbh using task29.
once flash successfully finishes, disconnect device from USB.
enjoy new ROM.
instructions to install a Radio​
if a different Radio is desired
download the Radio of choice, here.
extract the contents of the 7-zip.
boot device into Bootloader and connect to PC via USB.
flash RUU_Unsigned.nbh from 7-zip with task00.
after flash successfully finishes, disconnect device from USB.
enjoy new Radio.
note. if links are down, please let me know, will reupload.

thanks alot man this really helped me out!
I just got my phone and it has these:
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Radio software: 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0
(btw its from T-mobile)
So I should be following the instructions to install RSPL and It lookss easy.
but what about my OS? can I leave the OS as it is and install one of these custom roms:
DFT's Freedom.
dotcompt's DeepShining.
itje's Touch-It.
Or do I need to update to Stock mango first?
Finally, what are radios for and should I flash a new one? if so what should I flash.
sorry about all these questions but its my first time having a WP and I dont want it to break from day one

you should click the Thanks button, instead of thanking me in a post. : )
and you are welcome. glad i can help.
yep, with Bootloader version 3.1 start with RSPL.
when you flash a Custom ROM, it will be replace your current OS and Radio, if included with Custom ROM.
Radios give you your signal... so, a different Radio could help give you a strong signal in places.

everything went great.
using touch it rom now

What's the difference between RSPL and HSPL?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RSPL is a temporary SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, then returns to OSPL afterwards. aka after a reset.
HSPL is a permanent SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, but doesn't change to OSPL until you flash it back.

a bit lame that you don't follow your own signature, though. : /

I followed these steps myself. It took a total of 20 minutes to RSPL, HSPL and install and a custom rom (DeepShining Mango). Every great guide for noobies. Although, I must point out that you do not have WMDC stated in the guide. I got a little side tracked by that.

HELP: Flashing CHT9110 (P3600i)

I really need all the expert out there to help me on flashing my CHT9110. I'm not sure if flashing CHT9110 is the same as flashing P3600i?
Anyway there is an instruction post by ajajaj and credit to Olipro for the great help. I follow every step stated by ajajaj but still I couldn't get my phone flash to WM6.1, therefore I'm pleading for help here.
Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398742
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From my understanding I need to download the Hard SPL, but what does it mean by load the Hard SPL to your phone? Does it mean I unzip the hard spl and double click ROMUpdateUtility.exe on my PC? I tried to double click anyway and my phone boot to tri-color mode, there my phone get disconnected, doesn't matter I press power, camera button, and push the reset button and my phone start in tri color, again I run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and this time it run and finish 100% but after that it return an Error[270] Image corrupted.
Then I ignore this first step and proceed to following steps
Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I downloaded
Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also downloaded
Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I unzip the rombaker and custom ruu. I overwrite the rombaker into custom ruu/workshop folder
Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I copy the ruu_signed.nbh from WWE_ASIA folder to custom ruu/workshop
Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder
Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I extract it and get 00_OS.nb as output
Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH
It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I run the rombaker and I fill IPL, SPL, OS, ExtROM, GSM, SubSplash, MainSplash with 00_OS.nb and name the file called new_nbh. So I get new_nbh.txt as the output.
Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I open with text editor and change the last line to 401 from 400 as below
TRIN100

200,00_OS.nb
600,00_OS.nb
601,00_OS.nb
900,00_OS.nb
300,00_OS.nb
401,00_OS.nb
Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:
nbhgen new_nbh.txt
NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did exactly been instructed here
copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.
Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I copy the ruu_signed.nbh from workshop folder back to RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
After all the next next thingy, it turn black and doesn't go into the tri color. Tried to push power, camera, and reset button and boot in tri color, run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe again it stop at 1%
Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
Thank and appreciate all your help.

First up you are way ahead of me in getting to the stage where you have been able to modify the nbh, well done.
I am not sure this ROM works even after being modified, but you can give it a go.
To flash the modified ROM.....first put your phone into bootloader mode...ie camer..power and soft reset. It should come up with the tri-colour screen and show SPL Olipro 3.2. something. If it doesnt show Olipro then the Hard SPL you did earlier didn't work.
If it does...connect back to your PC via the USB cable and then run ROMupdate. It will then go through and flash the phone.
All the others have said this ROM flashes and then hangs at the boot screen.
Good luck...let us know how you go.
don't use that ROM... it doesn't work
go HERE to see the ROMs that have been tested and work with the P3600i
there's only 2 (tested) ones there, but at least they work
if those ROMs don't work, i don't know what will - i've tested both myself and they work fine
like andych said, make sure your bootloader (3 colour screen) says Olipro 3.2 on it, to make sure you have HardSPL... otherwise you haven't put that on yet - if you haven't do it again, then flash with a ROM from the link i gave
If I run the ROMupdate when I'm in WM it show
TRIN100
IPL-1.00
TRIN100
SPL-olipro 3.20
But if I boot into the bootloader mode, and I see
TRIN100
IPL-1.00
TRIN100
SPL-3.03.0000
am really confused on how to go about it

I just wanna be sure, with the 2 given ROM, I need not do any changing of 400 to 401, and etc? Just run the ROMupdate and everything will run smoothly?
OK
You need to run Hard SPL again.
Connect to your PC and make sure activesync has run properly and your phone is on.
Open Hard SPL and run the ROMupdate. Your phone will go to tricolour and it will come up with a communication error.
disconnect from PC but leave the phone in tricolour....DO NOT reset it.
Cancel our of the ROMupdate. connect the phone to the pc again and run ROMupdate again.
This time it will go all the way through and you will have HardSPL on your phone.
Check it by entering bootloader and it should show Olipro 3.2.
You can then flash away....make sure you always put the phone into bootloader before flashing.
Let us know how you go.
Ok once I get communication error, I disconnect from PC, cancel the ROMUpdate, then I reconnect to my PC again.
This time do I run the Hard SPL or the rom from ajajaj?
I tried both it however reset my phone to tri color and I dont see olipro 3.2 anymore

You need to run the ROMupdate from HardSPL again......
Only when you have Olipro 3.2 on the bootloader can you run the ajajaj ROM.
Guess it is really giving me a big headache.
Here is my scenario
My phone is on, I connect to activesync and run harl spl romupdate
My phone boot into tri color mode with SPL-3.10.olipro
Then I get error ERROR[260]: Connection
I exit
Disconnect phone from PC
Now comes the part that seems like only I'm the one facing problem.
I connect my phone back to my pc. My phone still in tri color mode I still see SPL-3.10.Olipro
Now I run the romupdate for hard spl again
I see the loading bar but I'm stuck at 0%, then my phone restart and reboot in tri color, now I see SPL-3.03.0000
Alright fine, I reboot on my phone connect to pc run hard spl romupdate till I get Connection error. Now I close romupdate and disconnect from PC.
I reconnect and run the ROM Mary instead. Again failed.
Did I miss any step? Or those are for P3600i and not CHT9110? Any different?

That's odd. I did what you did - I tried the first time, it failed with the 260 error. I kept the phone in bootloader, disconnected it from the PC, exited and restarted the HardSPL flashing program, and put my phone back in WITH the bootloader still on after that error the came up.
This second time, it worked for me.
If what I have just described does not occur with you, then you cannot flash any ROMs. You MUST succeed with HardSPL first. I don't know what is going wrong for you, I'm sorry Are you using Vista? I only tried on XP.
Also! Watch the screen of your phone the first time you try it from activesync, and make sure security dialogues come up and you approve them. I had to allow them ro proceed.

Well I've tried. The only way for me to accomplish 100% on bootloader is when my phone show SPL-3.02.0000, if I run hard spl romupdate at this point of time, it will complete 100% but sadly after that, it return
ERROR[270]: Update Error
The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility

i'm sorry, you seem to have a big problem with your phone :/
i don't think we can help you any further - hardspl to get into bootloader the first time, you get the error, you run the program again with the phone in bootloader and the hardspl should complete.
then you can soft reset and it should have 3.20 olipro on the 3-colour screen.
if this doesn't work for you, maybe it won't work at all

Which Ruu Update utility did U use? 3.1.3.2 or 3.14.4.1? If you use the one that came with hard-SPL, try using the 3.14.4. U can get this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321182 extract this then change the RUU_signed.nbh with the hard-SPL one, then flash your device as described above.

I'm using the default ruu_signed.nbh that come along with Hard SPL. Unsure what version it is. Anyway I downloaded RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite.rar from the net too? Is this you are talking about? I overwrite the ruu_signed.nbh to Olipro's Hard SPL ruu_signed.nbh?

Download the RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe then right click to extract (winrar installed). You should see a some files in the directory you extracted to. Find the RUU_signed.nbh, DELETE IT. Then copy the RUU_signed.nbh from the Hard-SPL to the above directory. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
Sadly I've tried Argyle0297 still getting the same old error msg.
I think it is lock on the SPL or SuperCID is it?
I know how frustrating it is .... this happened to me too.
BUT the one i got is not CHT9110, it's HTC P3600i with chinese rom installed (originally SPL-3.03.xxx). Maybe there's a difference between the two devices. Anyway if you want to give it another try, download the file below. It's the one i successfully used to flash the HardSPL.
Good Luck.

P3600i Flashing Tutorial

OK first of all I've put this together hastily so forgive me for slight errors, but most of this should be fine.
To flash your P3600i, there are 3 things that should concern you: HardSPL, the Radio, and the ROM.
HardSPL: something that allows you to run unsigned code on your phone (e.g. ROMs), and also provides protection in case it screws up. This is the first thing you do. (This is probably a **** explanation, but functional at least?)
Radio: I guess more like a mini feature set, I know there was something similar when I had a Motorola phone which was called a flex. In this case it's not a whole new operating system, but perhaps easily thought of as small tweaks made to improve the system without necessitating a whole ROM flash. Why have a radio when a ROM could take care of everything? Well the advantage of a radio is that you can flash these without resetting everything. Everything (contacts, etc.) remain intact.
ROM: What you're really after, WM6.1 and the lovely cooked ROMs that should soon be available for flashing. This will wipe everything on your phone, so back your stuff up (contacts, settings, owner info, messages, etc.).
Flashing procedure:
IF YOU HAVE VISTA: You need to update your drivers. Go here for instructions. You can then proceed with the procedure as per normal.
The basic procedure is this. Flash HardSPL first, then update your Radio, then finally, your ROM.
Note: The HardSPL you use is a modified one especially for the P3600i. Get it here.
Note2: Here is a mirror for the latest Radio for the P3600i. From following the guides, you will know when to use it. Get it here. (N.B. Radio link updated to v1.56.70.11 - 2 Aug 2008)
Go to the trinityguides.info guide (link here) and go through the procedure - and yes, I know the link points to page 2 of the guide.
NOTE WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260) LOLOL. THIS IS EXPECTED.
This is what happens.
You go to flash HardSPL like the guide says. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.
It looks like it's about to flash and then errors. BUT your phone is on the 3-colour bootloader screen! How odd. Well KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN, and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL (obviously connect your phone and stuff back to your PC).
The point here is this: the first time it will fail, but at least manage to get the bootloader up. With this bootloader up, exit the flashing program, restart it, and then you should be able to run the flashing program and have it complete.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PHONE HAS THE OLIPRO HARDSPL INSTALLED after completion, by soft-resetting (hold the power and camera buttons at the same time AND use the stylus to press the putton at the bottom of the phone. You might not get it the first time, but with practice you'll get the hang of it).
Once you can see 3.20 Olipro (yes, 3.20) on the bootloader screen, you know you have HardSPL on fine, and can proceed to the trinityguides.info instructions on flashing your radio and ROM. ROMs can be found in the P3600i ROM Collection thread, here.
Hopefully this should answer a lot of questions people have
Hihi,
Because I am using Vista PC, can I use PC to flash the hardspl and use SD card to flash OS and radio??
Thank you

Simple answer is no. You should be able to flash Hard SPL from Vista if you follow the Trinitty guides to change the USB drivers to the XP ones.....PLEASE read the TRINITY GUIDES as stated above.
about the vista problem ... take a look: http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=66
should i download the hard spl from here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398742
and what radio should i put? be specific...
Thanks
whatever radio you feel like, jesus, the level of stupidity just gets worse.
of course, if you're totally ****ing incapable of independent thought, we can spoonfeed you some arbitrary radio version.
Thanks for your attitude! I just want to do somethink that work... And my question is not for the fun! I saw in the guide that in the link (to trinityguide) and in the first page its didnt writen that is compatible with p3600i. So i ask before i make damage to my device.
I am working in computer companies for 5 years but its my first time flashing ppc so i want to be sure what to do before that I will make any damage.
And belive me that anyone that will gets some help in the first flash will help in the future to the forum.

OK...you do not have to flash ANY radio if you don't want to.
The Tinity Guide was written well before this device was cracked so it is not up to day with regard to the P3600i.
If you follow the instructions at the top of the page you should be fine.
Chose whatever radio you want to use....then pick one of the ROM's that are known to work and away you go.
I just flashed the MARY 3.7 SL and before I started loading up my customisations my Program memory was 34 meg. Even now after laoding everything I have 22.62 Meg Program memory and 178.88 Sorage memory (and everything is loaded on the device too).
So far all is good on this one.
PS Don't take Olipro's comments to heart....if you read his tag...he abuses everyone....lol

great to hear. the rom seems to be fairly stable, and its nice and quick. which for me personally is what i want in a phone
one thing i should mention to people as well running vista to do this is that for every part of flashing the phone, vista may attempt and succeed in "installing device drivers" which in turn means you need to point it to the vista-compatible drivers for it to work (as per the guide) every time to progress to the next part, otherwise a 260 keeps occuring.
Thank you for your wonderful and useful guide!
Thank you!
200% hype abt flashing! Finally!
Hey folks I need a little help
I've downloaded:
- Mary 3.7 Lite, Mary 3.7.1 and PDAVIET 37
- Olipro 130, Olipro 120 and Des Crash Proof
I've tried hard to mix all possibilities like Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7, Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7.1 and etc
After several tries i was kinda desperate since none worked then after testing Mary 3.7.1 and Des Crash Proof, TADA! Worked!
Well, the point here is understanding why I couldnt make the other ROMs work.
Could you please help me understading why?
Also I have another question, when a ROM was bad installed, in these cases above the 0% stats were freeze in the PDA while I had a bad connection problem showing in computer ( error 246 i think ) so the PDA was stuck in the bootloader mode =( And I just could enter my old WM6 by upgrading the radio. Is there another way to do it? I was pretty disappointed upgrading the Radio so many times. LOL

If you have a P3600i then according to the info you have above....you downloaded the WRONG Hard SPL.
Go back to the very first post on this thread and read it carefully. There is a link there to the correct Hard SPL from Olipro...and it isn't 130, 120 or Des Crash Proof.
genipao, it was rather surprise you had picked the wrong hard spl and doing some mix and match and it still work?
All experts,
please render help to me for my CHT9110 (P3600i - IPL-Trin100, SPL-3.03.0000, CPU-Samsung 500Mhz, NAND-256MB) that I flashed successfully with hardSPL 3.10 Oplira. this is working and wonderful SPL with the JumpSPL included. Good job done by Oplira!
However when I tried to upgrade P3600i from WM6.0 to WM6.1, I missed the step to tag 401 from 400 when I re-build New_NBH.file for my phone. At a result, I encounterd WM6.1 ROM flashing incomplete at 80% and forced to reset due to hang-up...
Now, my P3600i still can boot up to flash-screen logo, loading radio image (1.56.70.11) and then protocal services (32.89.7020.20H), then it will hand-up forever on flash screen logo.... (until i did the hard reset, then it will re-boot! terrible now!!)
i suspected it was unable to locate the WM6.1 and loading up accordingly....
I tried out many option, to downgrade SPL 1.1, SPL1.2, SPL 2.1 and used SPLxploit to clear the stack in bootloader... all is falied and my bootloader still shown SPL-3.03.0000 and don't allow to re-flash any ROM under bootloader mode now!!
Experts! please assist me,
How can I roll-back the default OS on phone if any? or there is alternative way to recover OS to flash in for recovery? I think firstly we need to crack SPL-3.03.000 in bootloader mode...
Many thanks!
Hi klemtest,
can you guide me on flashing CHT9110?
I couldnt seems to get it flash even after following the instruction.
Appreciate your help
i just followed Ajajaj Quoted, please allow me to share...
Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : Set
<Klemtest>
Step 1.1 - go and download Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip (810.6 KB, 438 views)
Step 1.2 - extract SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip file onto your local drive
Step 1.3 - connect P3600i via USB, ensure you are under ACTIVESYNC mode in WindowXP (if you use Windows Vista, the you need Vista driver for detecting HTC phone at USB)
Step 1.4 - execute the ROMupdateutility from SPL-p3600i-v1.1 folder, ensure there is RUU_signed.nbh file available, otherwise the utility will prompt u for read file error.
Step 1.5 - once it executed, follows the instruction given from ROMupdateutility screen, until you see the progress bar show up, meanwhile u will notice that p3600i phone will prompt you for ROM upgrading message, click "Yes" to accept and proceed. Sequence pop-up message will be asked again in p3600i for using JumpSPL.exe to unlock CID,
Again click "Yes" to accept and proceed. ROMUpdateutility will complete 100% and your p3600i display will be turned to SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader mode now (if the ROMupdateUtility indicated there is update error, just ignore it and exit utility screen)
don't switch off your p3600i, let it continue showing SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader display.
Dude! you're now ready for step2 to flashing your favor WM6.0 / WM6.1 once you manage the "nbh" file which I didn't done it properly!!
So, I assumed you have downloaded the working ROM and extract them in local folder as stated in Step-2
Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)
Due to p3600i is manufactured with 256 NAND, memory address for storing "OS.nb" slightly difference compared to p3600 (CHT9100) with 128 MB RAM.
Hence, ajajaj advice to use ROMBaker.exe to exract "XX_OS.nb" your favor OS ROM (usually named as RUU_signed.nbh) that you downloaded and re-build it using NBHGEN.exe.
All this stuff is available here Custom RUU tools
In this case, 2 screens captured below showing u how to distingish it
(for wrong re-build of OS.nb at 400)
C:> NBHGEN.exe new_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
400,06_OS.nb
(for correct re-build of OS.nb at 401)
C:> NBHGEN.exe correct_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
401,06_OS.nb
you can follow the step below until step9 if you're not familar of using custom RUU tools:
Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.
Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,
Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4
Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder
Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)
Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH
It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -
Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit
Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:
nbhgen new_nbh.txt
NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7
copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.
Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing
<Klemtest>
Step-10 - after you have managed to get re-build RUU_Signed.nbh file by yourself. you can proceed last stage for completion.
As I mentioned, you continue keep your bootloader screen at SPL-3.10 Oplira just now. launch again RUUupdateutility.exe
Note: At this point, your personal data from the phone will be destroy, please make sure you back-up all data before regret and ensure ActiveSync is disable during execution the flashing.
Screen1 - On the Welcome Screen, click Next to begin the ROM update installation.
Screen2 - On the next screen, follow the listed instructions in the dialog box first. When you are done, click Next to proceed.
Note: Ignore the instructions listed due to you are flashing via bootloader mode, and ActiveSync is disable.
Screen3 - The following message will then be displayed, indicating that the utility is verifying and acquiring information about the device as preparation for the update process. Wait for this verification process to finish.
Screen4 - Below the device information, information about the new ROM update will then be displayed. If you are certain that you want to install the phone with the new ROM update, click Next to proceed.
Screen5 - confirmation message then appears and shows the length of time it will take to copy the necessary files (including radio image) to the device. Click Next to begin the update.
Screen6 - A progress bar will run through the screen during the update process.
Note: In the middle of the update process, the progress bar may stop running. This is normal as the RUU is adjusting itself to complete the update process automatically. (probably will take up 10 minutes)
6. When you see the screen shown CONGRATULATION message! means update is complete. Click Finish to exit the utility. Otherwise, you will have trouble now to troubleshoot per below steps!
GOOD LUCK and happy computing!
Troubleshooting and Error Recovery

Hard-SPL Unlocker for Xperia X1 - Released!

yes, the xperia seems to have a normal HTC SPL... so it will probably need a hardspl. =)
[size=+2]UPDATE: RELEASE TIME[/size]
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
UPDATE - NEW: 0.78.OliNex Hard-SPL, I was asked to help with this as 0.78 seems to work better for some newer devices. it's the attachment xperia078_2.zip - to flash this over your existing Hard-SPL, you can just use customruu or SD flash. you can also flash it via SSPL (such as Xperia-SSPL-Manual EXE) or if you overwrite NBH file in X1_HardSPL_v1 after running the exe.
thanks for any donations, you can see the donation link in our signature - the big link saying "elite project".
Instructions to flash Hard-SPL:
it's recommended you run the basic package, and don't flash the other attachment (MFG SPL - it is only for hackers).
0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=en
0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.
2) it is recommended you download only the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip unless you want to tinker with MFG SPL (MFG SPL 0.52 is a separate attachment).
3) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
4) run X1_HardSPL.exe. (if you want to flash MFG SPL: at this point replace the extracted RUU_Signed.nbh with the MFG version of RUU_Signed.nbh)
5) follow steps in the RUU, and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
6) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.52.OliNex.MFG (this is SSPL!).
7) Hard-SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8 ) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.72.OliNex (or 0.52.OliNex MFG).
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned OFF, press and hold the volume down button along with the power button, then release the power button, and finally release volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically(your device doesn't go to tricolour screen), please copy Xperia-SSPL-Manual.exe from the Xperia-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL (tricolour screen saying 0.52.OliNex), run RUU on the PC (i.e. the rest of the hardspl package) manually.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is also available here - scroll down!
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the Hard-SPL. use Xperia CustomRUU to flash other ROM images. for example this version: http://rapidshare.com/files/164933503/X1_CustomRUU.zip
***
IMPORTANT: extra Xperia-specific notes: the prerelease roms out there in the X1 ROMs thread are not going to flash on retail devices because the radios they include are only flashable on prerelease devices ("Security unlocked" message in SPL can be seen on these). so what you need to do is repack the NBH without the radio - this will only work with Hard-SPL though, as repacking breaks the HTC sign on the NBH file.
I had a tester upload a repackaged UK image, which will flash fine. you can find it in the x1 roms thread. =)
***
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to tricolour screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if hardspl EXE won't run, and you are on vista, try to right click it and use "run as Administrator" option
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
***
extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.

I have, and have already dumped all rom to raw. You can pm me what you need or catch me on msn.
I can do my best to help.
What is a SPL ?
Does anyone have a working version of the hardspl for the X1 so we can try it? Thanks
Yeah we need SPL big time, any genius working on it?

Stuck With 1.14, No USB Support

Hi guys! Need some help, my device is stuck with HardSPL 1.14 because my USB Port on the phone is broken. Any method yet that i can use to flash a 1.56 ROM or upgrade to 1.56 HSPL only using SD Card Method??
Many Thanks!!

Click to collapse
is it 1.14.olinex or 1.14.00000
sorry, 1.14 Olinex
If i'm correct you should be able to flash the hspl by using the SD Card method.
I've have not tested this but they way i'd go would be as follows:
-download HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from this forum
-run the exe in a seperate folder, it will extract it's content to run.
-look inside the folder and see the extracted files, keep the app open for now.
-copy RUU_Signed.nbh from the folder and place in another folder.
-close the app, the extracted files should be removed by it then.
-go to the new folder where you copied RUU_Signed.nbh and rename it to BLACIMG.nbh
-copy BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's SD Card
-enter the bootloader on your phone and it should launch the option the flash as it detects the BLACIMG.nbh
-finish flashing as usual and say some prayers while you reboot your phone
All theoretical here so i'd highly advise to read up in the dummy's thread about hspl/uspl when unsure or unfamiliar with it.
gl
righ, getting somewhere!!! did this method and it worked, now when i go into bootlaoder it says my SPL is 1.56 but it also always says 'Upgrade ROM Code Error Please Try Again' on the bootloader in the middle of the screen?
Not sure what that could be as im no spl expert but might be that the app that does it via usb actually crashes the bootloader to be able to load non htc spl. Since you cant run the app you can flash but generate the error cause it doesnt accept the non htc spl.
There is however also the following mentioned in the dummy's thread:
# Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
# You are done!

Dont know if you did that already but if not give it go, keep in mind the bold part tho before you loose data.

Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe from SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is sayingn 1.07.OliNex, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe) on the PC and flash.
*important*: make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual SSPL method.

dunno if that last note is an option due to the broken port, but sounds like a good option if you ignore the on pc part. Else perhaps going back to a stock spl would be an option.

if it says 1.56.olinex then choose the rom u want to flash
then rename the .nbh file dnloaded from the rom cooker to BLACIMG.NBH
place this file in the root of ur sd card.
now insert the sd card nd go to the bootloader.
follow onscreen instructions...
OK, after using the method suggested in post 3 i have managed to get OlinexHSPL 1.56 on it. I then installed Mary One v0.03 using SD card method. It all went AMAZING!!! Thanks doods!! I got my baby back!! Dont need to risk returning it to HTC Repairs now with dodgy spl and rom!!! YAY!!!

Can't flash anything to phone anymore

Hello,
I installed the latest kernel(the very last one of clemsyn of post 199) from the kaiser kernel thread and now my phone doesn't flash or even boot into ANDROID
When I try to boot into Android, the final lines are:
Install module for this kernel
apply modules/androidupdat.tgz
Failed
from sourceforge​
When I try to flash another kernel:
1. I get the tri-colour screen with the following on it:
KAIS130
SPL-3.34.0000
CPLD-8
Serial (this is written in the white part of the screen)​
2. I get the white screen past the tri-colour screen with an consistent loading.... on it. This doesn't change​
THE 1 AND THE 2 ARE DIFFERENT SD CARDS.
I flash with:
KAISDIAG.NBH from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518
KAISIMG.NBH from different sources and the RUU_signed.nbh renamed to KAISIMG.NBH from ''Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2''
PLEASE HELP...
1st DO NOT DOUBLE POST.
2nd, did you install Hard SPL ?
If you want a answer to your question please change the title of the thread.
I'll edit the post with the answer after that.

For flashing windows mobile I used the above link, the link talks about using HardSPL so I suppose I have HardSPL installed, but I don't know for sure cause this was so long ago. Is there another way to check...
Also if we are able to flash kernels, isn't that to be seen the same as flashing Windows Mobile roms. If that's the case I must have hardspl installed. Because Dave Shaw says that you can't flash roms with a sd card unless you have Windows Mobile installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423486&page=34

IIRC you cannot use the SD card to flash a ROM unless you have Hard SPL.

As a solution I tried to put Windows Mobile back, I got the update utility on the pc and the phone loading for 1% and then it would give an error: Invalid Vendor ID, anyone knows how to bypass this??
**I forced the phone into tri-colour screen mode, it was recognized by Active sync but it said to be not connected

There are a couple of problems with flashing the original rom, first I am unable to establish a active connection with active sync, one of the requirements to flash. ALSO MORE IMPORTANTLY when I flash it continues for 1% but then I get the Invalid vendor ID error and before my Android adventure this simply worked and I COULD flash the rom.
According to the HTC Kaiser wiki this can be fixed with flashing HardSpL, but when I try to do so it says error 260 the first time and error 262 the second time.
Dude, download the original rom from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-att/downloads/
Then switch your phone ON, holding the camera button, which will get you in a tri-color screen. Then plug the device in the USB cable with your PC. Active sync will not work. Don't worry, run the downloaded original ROM.
Then after that follow the steps from the previous post.

Did you test with my instruction before posting?
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apparently it matters whether you use the stock version for the HTC Kaiser while having the MDA Vario III from T-Mobile, which seems to require a different rom.
THANK FOR YOUR HELP!!
