Thanks to Walshieau, Todd_jg and Olipro for helping me out with this.

This guide will take you through downgrading the Bootloader (SPL) on your Hermes device

This guide assumes you already have flashed ROMs and Other components and you are familiar with the process.

NOTE: By downgrading your SPL version your device is more vulnerable to being permenantly bricked if a flash goes wrong, by following this guide through YOU accept responsibility for any problems faced due to this operation. As with other downgrade guides this is NOT intended as a guide for claiming the warranty of the device having flashed components which are not authorised by the manufacturer or carrier.

The downgrade will take the following steps, since HardSPL does not allow itself to be downgraded directly, nor does SSPL allow versions lower than 1.09 to be flashed.



The first step is to dowgrade to SPLversion 1.10.oli. Firstly download this archive and extract the files to a temporary folder, connect your device up via the USB port and allow it to connect to activesync. Run "RUUWrapper.exe" which will fire up the RUU program:


Select 'Force SSPL' and continue the flashing process as usual.

Allow the flashing process to take place and your device will reboot.

Now check the SPL has been changed by entering bootloader mode, press and hold the side ok and power buttons then insert the stylus into the hole in the bottom of the device. Your SPL version should now read "1.10.oli".

The next step is to download the SPL you wish to finally downgrade to:

SPL 1.04 (includes IPL 1.00)
SPL 1.06 (includes IPL 1.01)
Again extract the contents to a temporary folder and connect your device to activesync via USB. Run "RUUWrapper" in this new folder.


Select the RED OPTION, and TICK THE BOX.
Then flash as normal.

This will flash the final SPL version onto your device.

Verify your SPL version once this has completed by allowing the device to boot into windows Mobile and entering the bootloader as before.

how do I do this without being able to get access to the OS? now that is a challenge, but its what i need to do :O

[blowfeld]

this is what i used to flash mine back to enable original rom to be installed ,so i could take phone back for warrany reasons

Shouldn't need to access OS. You should be able to do it by putting it in BL mode... THEN plug it into the usb. Then start the updater.

Its 2.30.Olipro I need to downgrade from, and you cant overwrite olipro SPL's without using SSPL by des from inside the OS, I'm trying to find another way

2.3 is similar to 2.1.

As MrVanx's guide points out, the key is to get from 2.1 down to Oli 1.1. That will work. His guide works - guarantee it.

Thanks for the help, but MrVanx's guide uses SSPL by des (launched from inside the OS where I can't get to) to overwrite the 2.10.Olipro to get back to 1.10.Olipro, so that method wont work for me either

Oh interesting. A nuance I hadn't picked up on. So, when using the Force using SSPL" option in the flashing utility, you must be able to access the Phone OS? That surprises me, I thought that the RUU utility would put it on the phone even in BL mode and execute it? Hmm... strange. I guess if it is an exe, it needs the OS to run, though. Sort of makes sense. Sorry about the misdirection.

Hi,

I'm trying to downgrade to the original SPL (I'm trying to get hold of 2.03 but can't seem to find it), so am using 1.06. I've been able to downgrade to Oli1.10 from Oli2.10, but it won't go back to 1.06 from there, after the RUU says successfully completed the SPL is still the same.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Hi Guys,
I need to downgrade my phone as well for warranty purposes. Unfortunately Mrvanx's guide is offline at present. Can any one of you give little further detail about what I need to get back to orginal rom/radio/spl and bootloader. Or in shor to be able to send it back for warranty. I do have a new Rogers phone if that can be of any help.

It is from Rogers and currently my boot loader screen says following:
HERM200
IPL-1.04

HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro

Under Device Information:
ROM version: FARIA.R-32
ROM date: 11/06/07
Radio version 1.54.07.00
Protocol Version 32.86u.7020.23H
ExtROM version: BIGSTORAGE


My replacement Rogers Phone has following:

HERM200
IPL-1.01

HERM200
SPL-1.11

Under Device Information:
ROM version: 1.34.631.14
ROM date: 04/17/07
Radio version 1.42.00.00
Protocol Version 32.75.7020.18H

Can anyone please tell me if it is even possible to do this downgrade.
Thanks
B.

why dont you just brick the phone if you are worried about them complaining over the boot loader version. If you cant access the phone i doubt they will be able (or even be bothered) to

[bingo_jake]

Could you please let me know what you did? Did you downgrade To the original Rogers Radio and SPL ? Do you by any chance have all the original Rogers files (WM5, SPL, Radio,...)?

I am with Rogers too and just unlocked SIM (not CID) and installed WM6 (official HTC)
I am wondering how I could lock SIM again if I need to return the phone for Rogers warranty? or unlocking SIM does NOT void the Rogers warranty?

Thanks

Hi is anyone able to figure out how to downgrade from SPL 2.10 Olipro to SPL 1.11? I have tried Mr Vanx guide but at the end of the process, I get Error 260. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.
Do I have to downgrade to SPL1.10 Olipro, before I downgrade to SPL 1.11?

Thanks

[hatsharpener]

I am having some issues downgrading back to an original SPL. I've searched throughout the site and have found a lot of conflicting advice, although this thread seems to be the most relevant.

I started out the process with SPL: 2.10.Olipro
I downgraded to 1.10.oli.

This process was successful in that the bootloader screen now says that the SPL version is 1.10.oli.

Now, when I try to flash the OEM version of SPL, the phone asks the following question:
You would like to run jumpspl.exe

If I say yes, the screen goes gray and says load... but I end up with a 260 error.

I have tried turning off the usb connection in the active sync and starting from the bootloader as mentioned here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286248), but that just ends up giving me a 264 error.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers,
~Hat

Okay, Im back to 1.10oli, but how do I know if I need to go back to SPL 1.04 (includes IPL 1.00) or SPL 1.06 (includes IPL 1.01)?

[mrvanx]

OK people, please tell me you have looked at the updated guide right??

http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=27

[n8huntsman]

Yes, but the choices are,
1.04
1.06
1.09
1.11
2.03
and I don't know how to tell which one is stock for my phone. I assume I need 1.04 since my bootloader says IPL-1.00 but I'm not sure because I know that used to say IPL-1.04, and since it appears that that can change for some reason, I want to make sure I get this right so I can get this waranteed. Im going to sell it on ebay and get the new HTC Fuze as soon as AT&T releases it.
