There is no need to u upgrade your ipl and spl really.. they are just security things.. there is NO difference between any of them as far as I am concerned. Trying to flash them just means more of a chance youll brick your phone.

I dunno, I just dont find a need to mess with the ipl/spl .. mine is a G4.. I just leave it alone, I could flash it if I wanted to, but what for... it doesnt make a difference in performance or anything.

Mr Madcap is right!

Just to save you a some minutes searching and reading around the site here´s a couple of comments:

Yesterday I read around the forums a comment from someone who said that "the higher the number of your IPL/SPL the higher the trouble for you"

I read also a comparison between 2.x and 3.x bootloaders and the difference is probably 6 to 8 seconds to boot up, being faster the 3.x!! Personally, I rather wait few seconds than wait weeks for the service man returning my repaired phone from dead.

Don´t believe me? Read this:
