After the HardSPL...

[kfletch]

Ok after doing all that was told to do to flash a G4 (which I did sucessfully) It does now show the SPL to be 2.21.olip.

At the end of the instructions says:

"After it is complete, your device will automatically reboot. The IPL version will be 2.21.0001 and the SPL will be 2.21.olip. If you see this then HardSPL was successfully flashed to your device.
Now you have HardSPL. You can flash any ROM using the RUU provided in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU."

I flashed my G4 Wizard with the new Diamond "clean" version. I think I want more bells and whisles; Question is...Do I have to do everything all over again or can I just flash with a new rom to a better OS?

I did try to flash to the Hyperdragon 6.1 and the SNN Diamond but, I think the OS I just flashed is too new to reflash to the others (error 264). (maybe I just answered my own question) But the HardSPL IS in there.

Someone please tell me what you think.

Thanks you!

Depending on my own experience you don't need to do hard SPL all over again. all you need to do is to do a good hard reset and try to update with nice and slow steps

i had a G4 before my current G3 and i know wht i'm telling you

just care to review these steps

- 50% battery or more (100% recommended)
this is a must .. cant flash without this condition

- laptop or pc with ups (you dont want to brick ur device cause electricity was out!) or you can risk and update on power supply

- use faria RUUs (they are the best) they can be used with any rom.

- connect the wizard to the pc after the hard reset (dont forget to backup) and follow the on screen (wizard not pc) till u get working windows mobile device

- when asked for setting ur device .. click escape (as said ... this device is guest till it has the WM that i want!)

- finally try it's right rom it's G4 safe if you ask, you'll find its link in my signature, also i suggest using radio 2.19

- last hint .. never use a rom with IPL or SPL. they will brick ur device (it did to mine :D)

any more help?
