Do you have to do anything before flashing a ROM if you use HardSPL?

[sdfggg]

I've read a whole bunch and can't figure this out:

If I use HardSPL, do I need to do anything else before flashing the ROM?

There are the posts by vippie (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613) and Dr Puttingham (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435) that show how to do it that way, but neither say anything about HardSPL.

So is HardSPL something new that means you don't have to go through the CID unlocking as explained in the above guides? You just flash HardSPL then the ROM? Or do you have to follow the guides as above and then flash the ROM? Or do you have to do the above AND use HardSPL?

I have a G3 jasjam/htc tytn that has never been modified/flashed.

Thanks heaps in advance!

You do not need to CID unlock to update with a new ROM, if you use HardSPL (which is highly recommended). You can just do the HardSPL, then the ROM.

However, I do recommend that you use THESE GUIDES (http://www.mrvanx.org). I have not looked at vippies or DrPuttinghams guides, but they are both credible as well. I make the above recommendation based solely on personal experience and other user comments to me.

Good luck. It is not as scary as you think.
