G4 - Different IPL/SPL

[rafaelk]

I tried to serach this on the forums but could not find a similar case.

I have a Qtek that originally came with 2.22.17.1 rom, both IPL/SPL being 2.22.0001.

I CID unlocked my G4 Wizard with imei-check. Before installing Qtek's 2.17 ROM in order to get BB Connect running (which I did), I backed up the original ROM via aWizard and r2sd all.

Two days later, frustrated by the not so cool reconciliation of my email messages via BB Connect and the poor performance of 2.17 ROM, I decided to move back to the original one.

Now my IPL is 2.22.0001 and the SPL is 2.17.0001.

Do I have to Should I be concerned about this or should I forget it?

Thanks

If you're device still boots ok then I think it's not much of a problem. It's very strange though, haven't seen it before.

The device was and is working ok (so it seems).

Well, I have installed T-mobile 2.21 rom this morning in order to try BB Connect again. I must say that this ROM is much faster than QTek's 2.17 (and very similar in performance when compared to QTek's 2.22 - the one my PPC came with).

Now I have IPL/SPL both at 2.21. I imagine that if I try to get back to QTek 2.22, I will end up with IPL 2.22 and SPL 2.21.

I'm afraid that when I dumped the whole original ROM before starting to play with other roms, the SPL wasn't copied correctly. I didn't see any errors while restating the original rom, but who knows what may really be the cause...

Thanks for your reply.

You got 2 of the same version numbers now. I wouldn't flash another ROM that contains IPL/SPL if I were you because it could have side-effects.

If you like the speed of the T-Mobile rom than you will be really impressed by the great custom roms around on this site. If you're device is still CID-locked (can only be unlocked through paying at imei-check) I suggest Molski's 2nd 2.26 edition rom. Allways take the G4 version, never flash a G3 rom!

Thanks, Vippie.

I now understand I have to get rid of the IPL/SPL portion of the roms available. When I have more time, I will read about it and make it a "personnal best practice"... :)

Well, I would certainly like to give other ROMs a shoot but I am really interested in maintaining the blackberry connect service working here and, up to now, as I understanding, the best combinations for that involve Qtek version 2.17 or Tmo 2.21 ROMs.

Best,
