Something i still don't understand about USPL...

[namco]

Hello,

So much time in the forum and i still didn't get this part properly:

I have used USPL for the Artemis, and i have been flashing some ROMs with no issues at all. My problem is that i want to try out an official WM6 ROM:

HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R

And i know this will overwrite my SPL once again. I currently have SPL 1.11.0000 (so it is CID unlocked).

Can i flash this ROM safely without bricking the Artemis? (silly question but better safe than sorry). I know that if my SPL gets overwritten i have to USPL once again in order to flash cooked roms, this part i got :P

Basically what i need to know is if USPL will make the Artemis flashable with ANY type of ROM (cooked, official, etc).

Thanks for any help.

yep, uspl will allow officail/cooked roms
tried flashing official rom with out uspl and my ppc was showing SPL 1.11.0000 from before, it wouldn't flash even though it was the official rom.
flashed with uspl and all was fine

hey dude - did you read the uspl manual by POF
the uspl tool for artemis temporarily add files to the phone RAM so that it will allow any rom to be flashed! once the phone is immediatly soft-reseted after running the uspl utility the uspl files will be deleted (from the ram i think) and it will be protected again (locked again) the uspl tool by pof does not change the ispl it just create kind of a backdoor way! (my analogy)

from experience a hard reset is alway beneficial and necessary from my point of view after flashing roms

also soft rest is useful before running the uspl - u need ram

best wishes and happy flashing - we are flashing addicts here thanks to pof

jahrami:- not true, start_uspl thru cewrite.exe adds some files to allow Ruu to flash USPL (SPL:1.11.0000) after flashing spl is finished(correctly) U can do as many HARD/Soft resets as u want to. U can flash whatever U want as many times U want to. But u need to take care if its not SHIP rom (they flash SPL as well) While u'll use only cooked roms, u can sleep in peace. Best way is to check SPL version always before flashing.

Hi phsnake
When you use uspl does it change the spl version??

read the notes 2-6 in the uspl manual
2 says the uspl does not change imei we all agree
3 says says the uspl it does not correct cid (country id) area yeah
4 says the uspl TEMPORARILY unclock the device
5 says the uspl AFTER FLASHING the phone is set back to factory settings

dear phsnake ppl were running uspl, soft reseting their phones, then try to flash a rom (they reported that flashing did not work) so it seems that files extracted by uspl go into a temporarily memory would you say its the rom or ram?

i just offered my understanding to what i've read :D i am not as intelligent as pof - i am just an ordinary member i am even not senior

best wishes

The USPL is permanent unless it is overwritten by another FULL flash (including SPL). If you just flash the OS, GSM, EXT_ROM or SPLASH parts, it'll be there forever.

I tried flashing an official ROM after USPL and it still said the device didn't have the characteristics for the ROM or whatever, so i extracted OS.nb, flashed it, and it worked like a charm.

For as long as you have SPL 1.11.0000 (forever if you don't overwrite it) you can flash away as you like.
