[UPG]Hard-SPL Unlocker - Developer Edition

[Olipro]

OK Guys,

This is a placeholder for Hard-SPL Dev edition - recommended for ROM Cookers and Developers only.

it's the same as the other except it doesn't require signing and blocks overwriting.

------------------

Done, see next post.


NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414835)

[cmonex]

ok, here it is now :) as I said the wait would be max 2 weeks in the *worst* case. well the case is much better than that ;)


this is only for people who know what they are doing!!! newbies who aren't sure what roms to flash, should go with the signed version of hardSPL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402



Installation Instructions are the same:

1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!

INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE


TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically (your device doesn't even go to black screen), please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it. then once the screen is black, run RUU manually (you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious).
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to black screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
- CDMA (Sprint or Telus) diamonds need my other hardspl:, head over to: CDMA (not GSM) diamond hardspl (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839) - ONLY use this if your diamond does not use GSM protocol for radio!!! otherwise you will brick the device!!!


NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using HardSPL.
if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.

enjoy!


UPDATE 1: 1.37 Hard-SPL
for those who need 1.37 due to some screen fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds, here it is with hardspl patches:
- Developer Edition: can flash unsigned code. Version: 1.37.OliNex
- Signed Edition: can only flash preapproved signed code. Version: 1.38.OliNex
please see Attachment below for Developer Edition!!
for Signed Edition, see the signed HardSPL thread of course.

I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG. only flash the 1.37 if you experience the fuzzy display issue.


UPDATE 2: 1.93 Hard-SPL
if someone's diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally, maybe this HardSPL based on 1.93 will work better than the olders. I have a report that someone has black screen with older SPL's.
but even if your diamond didn't come with 1.93 stock, but 1.37 doesn't fix screen problems (fuzzy screen, flickering, etc.), it is recommended to try this 1.93 HardSPL.
if your diamond works fine with original HardSPL, no need to flash this one.
Version: 1.93.OliNex


IMPORTANT: all in all, I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG and easier to deal with if there is some problem. only flash the 1.37 or 1.93 if you have screen issues.
if it was some other version and you still have issues after trying 1.37 and 1.93, then let us know in this thread.


STOCK SPL's: to return to stock SPL for warranty reasons: read post #39 in this thread!!!

Hey, Many thanks for all you work, it is working:) !!

Downloaded and installed fine for me.

Many thanks Oli/Nex

Check ur internet connection. Download is working 100% fine

[oddball1]

What is the difference between signed and unsigned spl?

[baliles]

Is this working when connecting the Diamond to Vista? I get an app CLOSE/DEBUG exception when I try to run it on Vista (x64). My diamond is the Asia 1.34 version.

[loser]

Hi Olipro,

Does this one work equally well for SPL 1.23 and 1.34/1.35? There were some discussion about 1.34 locking up the Diamonds with now ways of going back to 1.23? Please advise,

[rorydaredkign]

What is the difference between signed and unsigned spl?

It means you can only install signed ROM's, i.e ones form HTC, Carriers, or ones signed by Olinex and the other people in Elite Team. And they won't sign ranodm crap, so gives you safety- if it's signed, it's ok to flash it.

Unsigned means you can install any random ROM you like, cook your own easily and install it without any fuss.

[racerx_]

hey i've been following the threads here for the last few days as i should be getting a diamond next week, so thought i'd start catching up on my reading..

can i just clarify.. if i install hard-spl developer edition and want to go back to original ROM/SPL, i should just be able to flash the ROM from my provider without manually going in to Hard-SPL, and everything will revert?

[athanaso77]

You will have the official ROM but not the official SPL. This (official SPL) will be given to us by the guys here soon. ;)

[racerx_]

ah. ok is that because the official ROM doesn't contain an SPL or just can't overwrite the hard spl? thanks

[webvan]

Thought that was obvious but after reading about someone's problem, just want to clarify that you can still flash signed ROMs, including official HTC ROMs, with this HardSPL ?

[athanaso77]

Yes of course... you can flash official and un-official as well! ;)

[papimuzo]

You will have the official ROM but not the official SPL. This (official SPL) will be given to us by the guys here soon. ;)

Does this means that we will be able to flash from HardSPL to official SPL and vice-versa? What about write protection? Can we come from Olinex HardSPL to Developer Edition (though I am happy to stay in the mandatory signed wagon)

[stepw]

You should be able to flash original SPL using SSPL unless it was locked by OliNex.

[zjsteven]

You should be able to flash original SPL using SSPL unless it was locked by OliNex.

It's true ,my Diamond is locked by Olinex, so don't do it again

[cmonex]

It's true ,my Diamond is locked by Olinex, so don't do it again

it is not locked dear... go flash the package in THIS very thread. then it can flash any junk you wish to put on it (except junk SPL files)

edit: I see you want stock SPL, why? warranty reasons? I'll upload some stock SPL's today that you can flash.

[cmonex]

Can we come from Olinex HardSPL to Developer Edition (though I am happy to stay in the mandatory signed wagon)

you can, see my previous post

[athanaso77]

Great!!! It's good to have that stuff for warranty reasons of course! :rolleyes:

[papimuzo]

you can, see my previous post

Done, worked like a charm, Diamond not (yet?) a brick...
Waiting safely to flash your signed ROMs.
Thanks for your work. Donation in process.

[samstar]

can i install this when my device is allready flashed with Signed-hard-SPL ?

greets.

[papimuzo]

Yes as Cmonex proposed and what I have done.

[Yzord]

flashed it and everything is fine...well done!!

[sint2006]

any help , i couldnt flash the rom , i have spl1.35, i got this error vendor error

[webvan]

Well you should flash the HardSPL first then ;-)

[cmonex]

Great!!! It's good to have that stuff for warranty reasons of course! :rolleyes:


here's the SPLs... 1.23, 1.34, 1.37, 1.93.
EDIT: I uploaded 1.35 later because people couldn't understand there was no real difference between 1.34 and 1.35. so it is now in the second attachment in this post.
new: also uploaded 1.93 now.


if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the package posted at the beginning of this thread), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.

if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).

edit: some people apparently can't figure it out or read the whole thread, so to save trouble, please read the following:

STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.
2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.
that's it.

forgot. I'll post it later though for warranty it doesn't matter if it is 1.34 or 1.35.

[papimuzo]

[............]ok,

go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset)

Hi, can you precise this procedure to enter into the bootloader mode? I tried several times just to get only the usual Soft Reset?
Do I have to relax one of the pressed tools before the other?
Thanks for your patience.
-----------------------------------------
Solved: Reset must be relaxed first. Sorry to be soooo ...........

[Dracula72]

is this will work with 1.35 spl ????

[SecureGSM]

@Dracula72

Sure thing , mate. go for it :)

[webvan]

edited post just for you.Thanks, but which post? can't see a reference to SSPL in the first messages of the thread ?

Can someone just summarize the steps quickly ? TIA !

[ceevee369]

For those who might be confused (or do not read)

TLR Rom V1.0 runs with THIS HARDSPL . THIS one !

Not with the other, and do not confuse yourselve more if you don't read what signed vs non-signed versions are. ;)

[faethon]

Hmm, I get a connection error a while after the black screen. And the SPL is not updated... Anyone else has seen this problem? And found a solution? Device connects normally though, activesync works like a charm using the same USB connector & cable.

EDIT:
Ok, used another USB port, now it worked... Was using a cable through a USB hub first, which apparantly didn't work out well...
Ok, now for the nice ROM goodies!!

When I use this Hard-SPL developer program it upgrades to OliNex 1.30 not to OliNex 1.40.

I have used the software posted in post 1 of this thread.

we don't know what you are doing wrong if you don't describe your steps. make sure you run the included RUU after the device goes to black screen. confirm the RUU goes to 100%, at this point you should have 1.40 flashed.

[cmonex]

Thanks, but which post? can't see a reference to SSPL in the first messages of the thread ?

the one you criticized (post #39).

so here's steps (update: I'm leaving this here only so search can find information easier):

HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package and the RUU-SSPL package from post #39 in this thread.
2. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put it in the extracted RUU-SSPL package.
3. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+4. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.

I'm following the steps as described by you in post 2.

When I use the software provided I get the screen in the attachment.

When I click next the phone screen turns black. The RUU goes to 100% and the phone boots up again. When I turn it in bootloader mode. The screen says:

DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1 1.30 OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30

And the RUU says: Congratulations! ...... etc.

Edit: Don't know what went wrong, but tried it 1 more time before bedtime. And for some reason its ok now. :)

[webvan]

@cmonnex - excellent, thanks a ton !

[ceevee369]

@ Olinex team.

You might have a look at TLR's firts release which is currently unsigned.
I am running this ROM for 24 hours now and must admit it is af reaking stable ROM with good tweaks embedded.

Hi,

Since i had some problems to Hard-SPL my Diamond with the automatic .exe, i tried to run "ssplmanual.exe" directly from the diamond... then the scren turned black (backlight still working good but the whole screen is black), and it's been like that for the last ten minutes.

I know this is going to sound crazy but...... after spending the whole of the weekend playing around with the stock uk rom (1.37) which came with my diamond on Friday I decided to flash this version of Hard spl and start using custom roms, everything went well until it re-booted it was then I noticed a fuzziness around the fonts and boarders of gfx’s at first I dismissed it as coincidence and continued with the setup (remember I was still running the stock 1.37 uk rom) after the autorun bit the phone reset and came back to life without any screen problems so I now flashed “TLR Diamond ROM - based on UK 1.37.405.1 + fixes / enhancements” which again went to plan however upon resetting I noticed the fuzziness back! So I continued to set everything up again which cured it upon every other reset! Well after 2 hours of intermittent screen problems I decided to reflash back to the stock spl and rom ready to send my faulty handset back but this is the freaky bit.......
after flashing back the stock 1.37 spl ONLY (just to make sure there no compatibles problems between roms’s and spl’s I find the screen to be back to normal and I’m unable to reproduce to problem again !!! So to some up is it possable there a issue between spl’s and rom version like with my Kaiser?
Oh and I did think it could be a loose connection and tried in vain to stop, start it by shacking and knocking my phone around.... but why after a weekend out and about would it start and stop so prescribed??

Oh and honestly THANK YOU Olipro, cmonex, tom_codon , and to all the cooks out there for making all our experiences so much better with these phone though YOUR hard work. Thank you.

Note - 12 hours after flashing back to the stock spl 1.37 I still cannot get the problem to recur.

More testing..... ok again everything fine all day then just now I reflash "hard-spl" back to enable me to flash "TLR Diamond 2" rom and guess what?.... its back I am convinced now that there is more to this than meets the eye!

Seers folks,

I got a problem here, I just tried to flash a stock ROM ( 1.37.401.3 ) to my Diamond.
The RUU from the original package says "wrong device ID", after this I tried to flash it with Custom RUU but there is also shown an error!

ERROR [244]: INVALID MODEL ID

Shouldn´t I be able to flash every ROM I want? Or is it possible that the error results from an stock SPL that may is contained in the stock .nbh?

thank you for reply, but i don´t understand what will be the effect of turning to bootloader mode...?

just flashed TLR 2 without any problems so i think the error was created through an stock SPL which was contained in the stock package.

I'll try.... it’s like a very faint electrical interference around the edges of everything, I’m sure someone else must have noticed it if there was any real problems?? In the mean time all I do is hard spl my phone then flash the rom I want then flash back to the original 1.37 spl so I guess it’s no biggy I’m just surprised that I’m the only one with the problem?

Oh BTW I have a DIAM 100 with LCD Driver V11 if that helps?

ok, we can make an 1.37 hardSPL, contact me in PM so we can test it first, to see if fuzziness is any good then. (should be, of course)

1) backup your current ROM just in case the other ROM is incompatible. look for kaiser backup pdocread commands, use pdocread -l to change the sizes (or it won't dump properly) then dump the listed partitions 00, 01, 02.
2) after you got your rom backup, in the NBH you want to flash change the DIAM10000 (or whatever is there) to DIAM*****. make sure NBH size stays the same. then flash

WARNING: anyone who has a modelid different from DIAM100, should do the same if they have developer hardspl installed. especially DIAM140, which is the indian EDGE only diamond, this one has been proven to have issues

Is it possible to install signed ROMs with unsigned/developer edition of Hard-SPL installed on a device?

[ratcom]

Is it possible to install signed ROMs with unsigned/developer edition of Hard-SPL installed on a device?Yes it is my friend

[cmonex]

to everyone... 1) if it doesn't even start flashing the hardspl, use SSPL-Manual.exe 2) to enter bootloader to check version, volume down key must be held down until tricolour screen appears. reset button is to be pressed only for a sec, just like when doing a normal reset.

[sambosoul]

Hi everyone, i've got a problem with the HardSPL tool.
i'm using Mac OS X Leopard and Windows XP SP2 is running in VMWare. Everything works perfect, ActiveSync establishes a connection, so far so good...
But after opening Unsigned HardSPL Diamond Olinex, i'll get the following error message (see the attachment)
What does it mean?

[theduke81]

Hi guys

I had the 1.37 on mine and I just installed with the hardspl1.30 by oliNex

I have no bug for now, but is it better than all those that had the 1.37hardspl HTC-version should upgrade to the 1.37xda-version ?
(When it will be avalaible of course :D)

there's no really need if you dont have any problems, however with the kaiser rom it was found that the spl's did more than serve as a bootloader they discovered that they play a bios type role and could cause problems mixing them with some rom's.

[Rapier]

Hello I have some question's because i want to install the belite Rom by bepe

I have the HTC Touch Diamond from O2 (Xda Diamond)

i have some problem with the Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex

........
if i want to confirm that its installed, i want to go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset) my xda starts again only

i looked at Start->settings->system->geräte information(device information) an it says to me rom version 1.37.207.2 is installed

so the programm does not install the olinex version

can somebody help me please?

---------------------------------------
I also have a second question the Xda is from o2 can somebody told me how i can deinstall the o2 software to delete the branding and change to a normal htc touch diamond?

mfg Alex

p.s. sorry my english is not so good
Edit/Delete MessageIf you put the Unsigned-Hard-SPL from Olinex (that is an 1.9 Mb file), that DOESN'T change your ROM...it just change your bootloader (and that you can see in the bootloader screen) in order to flash ANY other ROM (a ROM has about 100 Mb if it's not cooked to take out a lot from it). This is not possible if you have the original Diamond with it's original bootloader.
AFTER you install this, you should choose one of the ROMS available here on the site or one of the official ones and flash that one (for ex you can put the latest 1.37.401.3). THEN you will see the ROM version is different.

For the second question, doing a flash with a ROM from here, it will get rid of the O2 personalization (if you put a "universal" ROM like the official 1.37.401.3 mentioned above)

Hope it helps and I've explained OK (more experienced members can confirm if I said it correctly)

[Ghostrider]

Thanks for the Hard-SPL to all.

Works like a Charm, w/o any problems at all on O2 Xda Diamond.
On 1. try - Done.:D:D:cool:

have you finish the work for spl downgrade.
could you post here the SPL downgrade package. that would be super nice. and big thanks.

if you don't read, then I'm sorry. I posted downgrade package and step by step description in two threads, including this one.

[2395]

Thanks to those that have supplied, hard-spl [etc] roms and the work involved.

started with genuine asian diamond and rom 1.35...
loaded Hard-spl
flashed rom to hard-spl asian 1.37...1
loaded and worked ok

reset Hard spl to stock-spl
flashed with genuine rom asian 1.37...
loaded and worked ok

Tried to load genuine European rom
would not accept [phone not from this area]

Loaded hard-spl
flashed rom to european 1.37...3
loaded and worked ok

resert hard-spl to stock-spl
tried to flash genuine european over hard-spl european rom
still not accepted

phone accepts only genuine flashs from your original region locked inside phone and will not load out of region. [Hard-spl can override]

region is xxx in 1.37.xxx.3

So, this means that if I have a german version and want to install the original european (english) rom, I won´t have to hardspl it, right? Just flash the new rom.

[cmonex]

you will probably have to hardSPL it because the guy's post is incorrect.

it is not based on region, it is based on CID. CID is partially dependent on region but more varied than the base region (i.e. a region can have several CID's)

[xxxbig]

here's the SPLs... 1.23, 1.34, 1.37


if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the package posted at the beginning of this thread), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.

if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).

edit: some people apparently can't figure it out or read the whole thread, so to save trouble, please read the following:

STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from post #39 in this thread.
2. download the package from post #2 in this thread.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, replace the original .NBH in the package from post #2 with this SPL NBH.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.
that's it.

This SPLs are draw from HTC official ROMs? or they are edited by crackers.

[cmonex]

This SPLs are draw from HTC official ROMs? or they are edited by crackers.

totally unmodified original.

[taxalian]

Yes of course, you have to hard SPL it first then flash the WWE Rom to replace the

German o2 XDA Diamond rom, its really easy after the hard SPL and i did it on

DIAM300.

[jones23]

totally unmodified original.

and those don't differ from provider to provider ? I mean the spl from htc is the same as lets say O2 oder T-Mobile ?

[Olipro]

well, no, because the O2/T-Mobile ROM will have their branding bollocks on it.

[jones23]

and how could i return to the original e.g. t-mobile spl + rom for warrenty reasons ?
if not, the rollback for warrenty, that is described in the thread, works only for htc diamond customers, not for O2/T-Mob branded devices. That should be clarified!

[k0s0vo]

so, guys, i`ve tried everything today, and i`m 10 years older since morning. just bought my Dimonad, and wanted to update my ROM from 1.35.... to 1.36.707. First i was trying with signed hard-spl (manually), but the error 262 followed me...even afther few attempts with recovery. now i`m trying with unsigned hard-spl, from post 1, ...is not working with ROMUpdateUtility, so again manually, but the screen become still, nothing works, and I have to restart or remove battery. afther that, everything works fine...I was trying a hard reset, with no succes. What should I do?

[k0s0vo]

afther all decribed before i`ve decided to give a try with RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.....and this worked great. Is this possibile because i`m from Europe?! is 35.707 more advanced? is possibile to install it?

[cmonex]

and those don't differ from provider to provider ? I mean the spl from htc is the same as lets say O2 oder T-Mobile ?



same!

Olipro meant something else, ignore that post.

[Olipro]

sigh...

Yes, I meant the OS part of the ROM, not the SPL

you do not know how to read then. it is normal to get a black screen while the SPL is being installed. actually, it *must* be black or it won't flash the hardspl. so try again.

Hi guys,

can someone give us some news about stock SPL downgrade package ?

Thanks ! :)

Edit: Forget my question, I found the answer ... Sorry guys ! :p:p

[surilaci]

Hi cmonex!
Your work is so usable for us to flash our ROM!
But if I wanna downgrade my SPL to stock SPL with SSPL_Manual.exe I have missing feeling about your step-by-step instruction. I thought stock SPL 1.37.nbh files is included in the SSPL_manual.exe. If it's right, I don't change the nbh file inside of the SSPL_Manual.exe if I wanna downgrade stock SPL.
I used Vista and I have connection problem with RUU.
I tried a lot if things to use normal RUU process, but it seems I have only this way to downgrade SPL.

[Fabliv]

Is it possible to insert in the post #2 the howto, in post #39, to downgrade HardSPL ?
I think, it can be more clear for those want to downgrade their device.

Thanks for your great work ! :)

[busted123]

I'll try.... it’s like a very faint electrical interference around the edges of everything, I’m sure someone else must have noticed it if there was any real problems?? In the mean time all I do is hard spl my phone then flash the rom I want then flash back to the original 1.37 spl so I guess it’s no biggy I’m just surprised that I’m the only one with the problem?

Oh BTW I have a DIAM 100 with LCD Driver V11 if that helps?

Hi

I have the exact same problem after installing the Hard-SPL. The screen flickers a lot! Problem disappeared after installing original SPL 1.37 again.

Have you found a solution? Thank you!

thx dude...!!!

Nearly shit my pants when I first see it... then I re-flashed to stock SPL.

Same for me. After installing Hard spl 1.40 to my Diamond I noticed some flickering in Bootloader Mode. Then when I first start up the phone this "electrical interferences" are on each tab and programm. When I press the Powerbutton shortly to switch off the screen and the press the Powerbutton again to switch on the screen, the flickering things are gone till the next Soft Reset.

I havn´t tried to downgrade to another Stock SPL. But I will test it.

I just flashed HardSPL and now I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Looks kind of a repeating blur on the screen. Gonna flash SPL 1.37 now, hope it helps....

EDIT:
Flashing back to SPL 1.37 solved the issue. Seems like HardSPL is based on a version of SPL, which is not compatible with some displays. How about an update based on SPL 1.37? ;-)

OMFG The same thing here, my screen is flickering like hell, i got a huge stone in my belly after this :(

But one question... can i still use the rom i have inside even if i downgrade to SPL 1.37? I have the Diamond Project Team Rom Release V2

Thanks in advance ;)

EDIT: That pressing the soft reset button twice thing worked to get rid of that annoying flickering :] But still... Have to do it for every restart...

[purno]

I'm glad to see some soulmates :rolleyes:
I've the same problem when performing any SPL. After returning to the 1.37 version everything is ok, except that I got a small rim of light on the top of my screen (with TLR 3.08). Now trying Swifts rom, to see if there is a difference.

Hopefully there will be a better solution for this than returning to the old SPL.

[Reb0rn]

My screen stopped flickering... Cool...

[sumitescp]

My screen is flickering with all hard spl versions. Are our diamonds faulty????
Driver Problem with tytn 2 and with touch Cruise and now.....
This device with screen problems.

htc is going shit and shit every time they launch a device. my opinion only...

Any real solution except flashing to stock spl and?

[akucher]

heh, try running SSPL-Manual.exe in the package
wait until it goes to black screen
then run RUU

SSPL-Manual.exe show error.

what is it system.unauthorizedaccess?

[vegas55]

ok, here it is now :) as I said the wait would be max 2 weeks in the *worst* case. well the case is much better than that ;)


this is only for people who know what they are doing!!! newbies who aren't sure what roms to flash, should go with the signed version of hardSPL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402



Installation Instructions are the same:

1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.

Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it.
INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE


NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using hardSPL.
if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.

enjoy!
I cannot install Hardspl , or un sign hardSPL.
Even manually, I copy the file spl manual on the device, I click, goes out the screen and is all,
no restart NOTHING ??

that is sspl! screen going out/blank black screen!!
copy the file run it on your device with usb cable plugged.
Once you are on a black screen run Custom RUU.

I am sure you will be able to do it.

[staty]

I've got the same problem.

Once I started the RUU and waited for sync and started the Update the screen of the XDA goes black and the RUU loses connection to the phone. At the same moment as the screen goes black I hear the Win-Sound for unplugging an USB-Device (without me doing anything) and right afterwards it tries to install an USB device (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM) but doesn't find any drivers...
In the active-sync window it says that the phone got disconnected. Same in the RUU.
So I only can softreset the phone (because after 15 min still no hardSPL happened) and everything workes as before.

When I try the same with the SSPL-Manual.exe it happens exactly the same. So even if I was trying to open the RUU then - nothing happens because it doesn't find the phone plugged to the PC. btw: i'm using winXP SP3...

Any help from you guys?

please don't try opening another RUU other than the included one, just let it flash.

if nothing helps, can you tell us what your current SPL version is in tricolour screen?

BTW we haven't tested on SP3 but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

[cmonex]

1.37 SPL people, there is 1.37 hardspl now in second post in this thread.

Hello I have some question's because i want to install the belite Rom by bepe

I have the HTC Touch Diamond from O2 (Xda Diamond)

i have some problem with the Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex

I connected my xda to the pc and done the steps how it stands in the programm

the programm flashes, my device and then told me thats complet

my xda reboots an i have the normal windows mobile version on my xda.

if i want to confirm that its installed, i want to go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset) my xda starts again only

i looked at Start->settings->system->geräte information(device information) an it says to me rom version 1.37.207.2 is installed

so the programm does not install the olinex version

can somebody help me please?



Same problem...everything goes as planed but when the device restarts there still the same romversion instead of:

Hard SPL 1.40.Olinex
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex

Like it should say...tried with the copy over the file and started it there..but not really helping. Ive read the whole thread and didnt see any working answer to this problem.


EDIT: I FIXED IT :D Thanks anyway

/Best regards

Royale

[Reb0rn]

Oh god... u cant see it in the settings tab... u have to restart ur phone with the Volume down + power button to get to the holy 3 coloured screen... THERE u will se ur version of SPL, nowhere else... props to Gucci the lite boy :P

[live3]

hi cmonex.

i have installed 2 week's before 1.30 by olinex. i have no problem whith it but i will flash my phone with new rom radio ( particullary 05).if i have understand what i've read, i can flash my phone with 1.37 hard spl unsigned and after that i can flash all rom radio and os, isn't it.

But i 'have seen 1,93 version on the first post to.

what's difference with 1.37, it's better or it's not for the same "diamond series".

thank's for your answer.

nah, just install 1.40.OliNex from second post in this thread..

[live3]

yes i can install 1.4 unsigned but i've understand some people have flickering problem that's why i'm searching an other Hard SPL.

[cmonex]

yes i can install 1.4 unsigned but i've understand some people have flickering problem that's why i'm searching an other Hard SPL.



then just install 1.37.OliNex. do not use 1.93, that is only for people whose diamonds come with 1.93 stock

[live3]

you don't help me for my choice ! what's difference between 1.37 and 1.40. if 1.40 is better than 1.37 so why olinex make it. If 1.37 as less or more compatibility with ROM, it will be better for me to install 1.4, if 1.37 is the same than 1.4 but it solved flickering problem, i will install it.

do you understand what i said, i don't know why i will choose 1.37 than 1.40

[gandalf027]

Had the fuzziness issue .. flashed with 1.37 olinex unsigned .. voila perfect.

Thanks once again ;)

can you flash rom radio with your 1.37 unsigned HardSPL

sure, unsigned means you can flash anything.

no need to wait. just let the RUU go on with flashing. I'm not sure I understand what the exact error is, can you explain more.

Hello guys,

I've flashed my device with hard spl 1.37 because of the screen fuzziness but the problem still remain. Sometimes when i reboot the device it fixes the bug but not all the time.

I tried to flash the 1.93 version but i got a blackscreen during the flashing process. Then my TD restarted and i checked the version : it has been updated to 1.93

But for now the fuzzy bug seems to be gone ..

Well should i keep this version or go back to 1.37 one ? I'm wondering why i got a blackscreen during the process...

[cmonex]

p.s. what is happening when i downgrade to stock spl? why for warranty reasons only?


if you downgrade to stock spl then try to flash some crap rom, you'll risk a brick.

I tried to flash the 1.93 version but i got a blackscreen during the flashing process. Then my TD restarted and i checked the version : it has been updated to 1.93

But for now the fuzzy bug seems to be gone ..

Well should i keep this version or go back to 1.37 one ? I'm wondering why i got a blackscreen during the process...



you had black screen while installing 1.37 too, you just weren't looking.

BTW can you tell me if your diamond came with 1.93 stock SPL originally? the 1.93 hardspl is based on that... just curious.

[cmonex]

Do not Try i just killed My Diamond now warranty F@cked up and is dead no flash no backlight no keyboard only power vol up/down seems flashing then after restart still the same as before was..... i not recommend....


you just got unlucky - you are the first user who had such problems
drop me a PM if you want to see if there is still some hope for your device.

Yeah, the hundreds of people who have had no problem at all are just lying through their teeth obviously.

OK, so that's normal ...

Well i had 1.34 i think SPL originally ... I don't really remember :-) But i'm sure it was not the 1.93 one ^^

[AssimilatorX]

[AssimilatorX]

Anyway somebody could find out What the MicroP ROM is as i played around wth my 2 find a safe way to kill the board wthout any traces.I recon there is something 2 do wth the display may some interesting there could be...

[davbo]

The best way I know is using the spark of an electronic lighter directly on the pins: should work fine, but I did not test it on mine...

Hi,

I have been lurking and researching the possibility of installing HardSPL on my Touch Diamond. At the moment I am a little stumped.

I downloaded the folder located on the second post of this thread: Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip

I established a connection with my Diamond with Active Sync and then try to run the program. After confirming my current SPL and the new 1.40 Olinex SPL it attempts to flash the Diamond but returns with Error 202.

Current info from boot screen:

1.00.25.03
52.26a.25.09
1.37.00.00

When I go onto the Diamond and modify "Settings->Connections->USB to PC" and uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality", it seems to work and succeeds at 100% but when it reboots it is still at the previous bootloader.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[avatar1973]

Hmmm never mind it might actually be working, might have been misreading the info lol. Will double check.

Edit: It worked :)

[xcaninox]

hey guys, I won't create an other topic, cause I imagine that my problem can be fully resolved with your simple help..

I've got 2 problems:

first = the wi-fi just work in order places(wi-fi zones), right here, in my home, it does not work. In order places(wi-fi zones), OPERA, IE, QUICKGPS, WEATHER, everything is fast, quickly. In home it's almost slow.

second = the gps, I can't make it work, don't know how, I've tried with TOMTOM7, DESTINATOR7, LIVE SEARCH, GOOGLEMAPS..

I'm all ears for your help guys.

Thanksss

also I did try to set manually the ports than managed by windows on a google maps but does not work!

i'm still all ears for any ideia to fix it

thanksssss

[cmonex]

PLEASE DO NOT HIJACK THIS THREAD.

GPS and other questions can go to other threads. this one is about HardSPL

[SecureGSM]

@cmonex

Would you consider "signing" Jocky's HSPL binary code so that OliNex HSPL users can cross-grade from OliNex HSPL to Jocky's HSPL in single easy step if and when required instead of: 1. downgrade to original SPL 2. upgrade to Jocky's HSPL?

It sounds fair enough since Jocky's HSPL allows for cross-grading to OliNex HSPL by design.

Also, I would suggest giving some good thoughts with regards to phasing out support for "HSPL-signed" version in future (sooner is better). It appers that majority of users are mass cross-grading to unsigned OliNex or Jocky's code anyway.
Other important consideration is that it's being great confusion for many as to which one to use? I also, see many questions coming from confused users reporting 0% flash error due to obvious certificate mismatch when attempting to upgrade to stock rom and some others.

My point is:

All these confusions obviously add some (if not major) _uneccessary_ hassle to your OliNex team and make you waste your precious time on posting explanation to issues that are not always are easy to wrap someone head around ;)

At this stage there are 2 teams in Diamond Forums that leading the game and likely proposed HSPL code "convergence" will help a great deal for OliNex team to concentrate on some more involving projects rather then following up on HSPL questions?

kind regards.

[cmonex]

SecureGSM: hey there. :)

1. no need to downgrade to original SPL, who suggested that was necessary? simply use SSPL to flash any HSPL, regardless of current SPL version. if you want to flash an unsigned HSPL NBH, then simply use jocky's SSPL package (which is the same SSPL, but the signing requirement is removed from it).

2. if you still really want to get the jocky NBH's signed, ask Olipro, all signing tasks are his. I never endorsed signing much (i.e. not more than absolutely necessary to support the team), it is his idea. also you can ask jocky if he minds (probably not, of course).
the only thing I like is the signed SSPL, which means morons can't flash junk in place of HardSPL. but of course that is moot now too, after jocky cracked the SSPL ;) (btw, I don't have a problem with him regarding that, but maybe it wasn't the best idea.)

3. as for phasing out the signed versions, we will need to discuss that with Olipro. I like the idea, and I do agree with all your points, but I'm not the only one on this team :)
I did mention the idea to him a while ago, but he didn't like it, maybe this changed since then, I don't know.
we can make an MSN groupchat maybe, so we all can talk about this.

[SecureGSM]

@cmonex

Thank you so much for the clarification re 1. and 2!
If that is the case, then signing of Jocky's HSPL is not a requirement anymore.

Re 3.:

Sounds great. Happy to discuss. I will see if I can catch up and chat with Jocky first and get back to you on Monday.

kind regards.

[Ddriver]

Hello,

I make a big mistake!

I flash the Developer SPL-1.93.OLINex on my DIAM100.

So, to flasch no problem, but after I have a big Problem:

On the black screen is wrigth:

"Your OS ROM isn`t customized for your hardware.
Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center."

In the Bootloader I come but a Hardreset is not posible.

I tray also a downgrade from post #39. No chance!

Wath can I do?

Please help me, thanks a lot.

I dont no why, but now goes all good.

I have a function Diamond in GER and SPL-1.93.OLINex.

I disconnect from the AS and take out the akku, akku again in and power-button.

Now function like a charm.

Greets Ddriver.

[jockyw2001]

.... also you can ask jocky if he minds (probably not, of course).

i don't mind at all

... after jocky cracked the SSPL ;) (btw, I don't have a problem with him regarding that, but maybe it wasn't the best idea.)
i knew you wouldn't :) the way your sspl is protected is nice and can be very useful ;)

[zobuli]

Hi!

I try to flash my Diamond with this Olinex software. ROMUpdateUtility says that my phone has version 1.37.401.3 and that's correct. But it will update my phone to "1.00.Diamond" version, is that correct or not?


edit: Forget it, I have it now

DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex

[alex-khokhlov]

I'm experiencing continous reboots on my Diamond right now, don't know how to fix it... I would appreciate your help.

What have I done:
1. tried to update original Diamond from Europe with official RUU_Diamond_HTC_RUS_1.93.411.2_Radio_Signed_Diamon d_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe -> "device not supported" or something like that (I think it was a language mismatch: RUS <-> Europe ENG).

2. Flashed new SPL from Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip

3. Flashed RUU_Diamond_HTC_RUS_1.93.411.2_Radio_Signed_Diamon d_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe

And now I have a device that reboots all the time. Loader screen has the following info:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30

While booting, at the time when the "TOUCH Diamond" picture is displaying, I see the following info:
R 1.00.25.05
G 52.29.25.12u
D 1.95.00.00
Then screen goes black, after that a slight vibro and "TOUCH Diamond" screen again. That process doesn't seem to stop.

I have tried to change SPL to something else - but with no luck. Downgrade using RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip + RUU_Signed135stocksigned.zip + stockSPLs_htchackerssign.zip seem to do something (all goes well, without errors), but SPL doesn't change (loader screen has the same info).

Does anyone know what have I done wrong and how can I fix it?

[lele.d]

Hi all,
I have a problem,
I can't flash my diamond with any hspl the indicator is alwais 0%????
Anyone can help me?

guys, now i'll share with you how i did fix my problems, cause many many man can have the same problems and here is the solutions

for the 1° problem = go on setting ->all settings ->connections -> wireless LAN -> and finally POWER MOD, then change it for the BEST PERFORMANCE. It won't let your wi-fi connection get slow like my was

for the 2° problem = set ever COM 4 for the programs ports, and to make the first contact go on sky open, it will work, uhhh don't forget to download data from QuickGPS first.

Well, i just wanna share you guys.

Tchau

[Heppieboeddah]

maybe a stupid question..can the unsigned Hspl [1.40]be flashed to a HTC-touch elfin?

[4stupid]

Hi all,
I have a problem,
I can't flash my diamond with any hspl the indicator is alwais 0%????
Anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Lele.

I have the same issue.

Mine is HKT-CHT version with ROM 1.93.
Download the unsigned SPL and replace nbh with 1.93 in post 2.
Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, flash progress 0% and nothing update.
Are someone going to see the issue and offer assistance. In need, I will provide the information per your request.

From a newbie.

[cmonex]

maybe a stupid question..can the unsigned Hspl [1.40]be flashed to a HTC-touch elfin?


lol, nope. just because it also has the word "touch" in the product name, doesn't mean anything

[cmonex]

to those stuck on 0%, use SSPL-Manual.exe then run RUU manually when you get to black screen.

next time read instructions more carefully

[cmonex]

I'm experiencing continous reboots on my Diamond right now, don't know how to fix it... I would appreciate your help.



you have region lock

either flash an OS that doesn't care about region lock (by default or patched not to care)

or this may also help: flash radio 1.00.25.05 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956 as this might unlock the region lock.

[4stupid]

to those stuck on 0%, use SSPL-Manual.exe then run RUU manually when you get to black screen.

next time read instructions more carefully

Thanks for your advice.

I am sorry that I am trying to look for the instruction running SSPL-Manual.exe, maybe this one tonight, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2307895&postcount=133, since it is my first time using WM6 and htc Diamond<- still in searching.

I have tried to run from Windows XP <- definitely failed, HaHa.
I have tried to copy all files to the device root directory, using Explorer locating the file and click it. Going to black (blank) screen, stop here since I have to idea how to run the RUU manually [no keyboard, etc.]


--------------Supplement------------------
Eventually I can do it la~
[Just information for other newbie]
- Make sure the device and the PC Activesync in connected mode
- Copy the 'SSPL-Manual.exe' to the root directory of the device
- From the device, use Explorer to execute the 'SSPL-Manual.exe'
- From the PC, run the 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe
- Answer the 'Yes-Next' question and you are on the fly

At the end, thanks to all developers and the advices. I am going to next step flashing the English ROM now and God bless me...

[cmonex]

the instructions are obviously in the same post where you downloaded the files from. second post in this thread.
anyway glad you sorted it - I now updated the post by adding that you have to run the RUU on the PC :D

[lele.d]

Hi,
All ok, with ssplmanual.exe I solved all thanks.
One question, can switch from hspl 1.40 Olinex to hspl 1.93 olinex?
If yes, how?
Thank you.

[agjell]

I'm confused by the name of 1.93, it has both signed and unsigned in it. What is signed and what is not? Can I use this with duttys 1.5? Has anyone tried?

My Diamond (all stock):
SPL 1.93.0000
ROM 1.93.409.1 NOR
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12W

Edit: I guess it can, I saw another user with that combo in his sig.

[Global_Inferno]

Im a bit worried, I had the HardSPL 1.38 Signed version, and decided I wanted a nw radio rom.. So I was going to flash the HardSPL Unsigned 1.40, but during the process the ROMUpdateUtility crashed!? Im running Vista x64 and although my diamond seems to have come out unscathed, im not sure if I trust the flash went ok?

I never had the same problem with the Signed flash, any ideas?

EDIT: Seems like it flashed ok, I was able to install the Radio ROM no problem.. However I think this still needs looking at!

[J.S]

Which HARD SPL should I use for that ROM? RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition or other ? I am with 1.37.401.3 WWE and i wanna change that one. Just wanna know that's the correct HARD SPL for me. Thanks....

[cmonex]

to answer the last few posts:

sorry for the filename, 1.93 is unsigned.

anyone can update to it no problem. simply read instructions in second post in this thread.

[wb689689]

5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.

[geistteufel]

I still have Olinex 1.40, I want to know what are the difference comparing to 1.93 ?

1.40 work fine on mine (my stock rom was 1.37).

What are the job of Olinex Hard SPL ? I mean they are necessary to flash with custom rom or radio, but do they do somethink else ? Did they help the cooked rom ? Is it like a ... bios ? or somethink like that ?

Can anybody can highlight me on that ?

[roadrunner2022]

good question,

let me add someone.

After HTC has released thier rom update, i have the stock SPL verison 1.93. If i want to update to a cooked rom, wich HARDSpl should i use?

I know - use the search button - but in this many of threads many there are too many answers for to many questions. i miss an overview of the available HARDSpls and which one should be used.

for example: if i remeber it correctly there was an hint, that if the screen is flickering version 1.40 of Olinex's HARDSpl should be used. But now i have 1.93 Stock Version. Is it usefull to downgrade?

[geistteufel]

ok, 1.40 so

They just work really fine on my htc, I will keep it.

If they is a real good reason to switch, I will do but ... I think they is not, except you have screen issue.

[totebest]

Hi!

I'm having some trouble getting Hard-SPL on my phone.

I'v downloaded Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip and followed the instructions.
The progress bar reaches 100% in like 5-10 seconds and it says congratulation and my phone reboots.

In the left down corner during the reboot it says (this is what i said before i tried installing Hard-SPL):

R: 1.00.25.03
G: 52.26a.25.09
D: 1.37.00.00

And in the right it says:

u or h (I think, it switches between those two every try I make)


I have also tried running SSPLManual.exe from the phone and then followed the steps from the RUU.

Is the screeen I'm seeing the bootloader thingy? Because I've also tried pressing volumne down + reset and I always end up with the same screen and the windows starts.

What could be wrong? Something I've missed? A noobie mistake? Would be grateful if someone could help me. Just ask if you need anymore information.

You have the hard spl installed. To check if it is installed you need to press the volume down button and then reset your phone. After that if you see 1,40 Olinex in the bootloader screen then hard spl is installed. You are checking on the wrong place.

I am having a trouble finding the Olinex 1.40 signed, the link in modmydiamond.com gives Olinex 1.30 signed (I figured this while trying the installation with the package). If the modmydiamond admin is reading this thread, would there be possibility to get newer version in that link?

[rickturatti]

Hello, I'm new here, so excuse-me if i say something stupid. I bought an unlocked Touch Diamond Orange. I tried yesterday to upgrade my rom with one witch has been provided by HTC (RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1) , but it didn't work. My laptop states that ERROR 262 occurred, and the red bar stays in 0%. I tried a few more times and it is still the same. My device is using SPL 1.20 OliNex. I read that I must not install hardSPL over my SPL because of warranty reasons. I don't know if the rom version, radio version and spl is original one. So I have many questions. I don't know if I have hard SPL or SPL.
1. How can I know witch spl, radio and rom version is the original?
2. Do I have to unload the current spl, radio and rom vesion and try to install a new one? How can I do this?
3. What I have to do to update my device rom without loosing my warranty? - I know that I should unload the new version to don't loose the warranty, but is the current version the original one?
Thank's for the attention.
Please help me.
Current Versions:
ROM version: 1.37.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 06/12/08
Radio Version: 1.20 OliNex

1. heh, you clearly have the radio for sim unlocking. but don't worry, you can flash any stock radio version over this. 1.00.25.05 is quite recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956

2. you probably need to install the unsigned hardspl, get it from this thread, second post! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950

3. if you need to invoke the warranty, then get the stock SPL back on the device along with a stock radio. wiki or this thread (see second post again) has the steps on how to put stock SPL back. direct link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324837&postcount=20

what is the screen like? black?

why did you reinstall the stock spl at all?

[zaphyr]

When I started flashing my device, I decided to go for the safe option using Signed HardSPL, SPL-1.30.OliNex.

I have later found out that for most of the ROMs that are released the Unsigned SPL is needed.

Is it ok to flash the Unsigned HardSPL over the Signed HardSPL? I can't seem to find a clear answer to that anywhere

[dingil]

what is the screen like? black?

why did you reinstall the stock spl at all?

Screen is black.
Just wonder that is why reinstalled stock spl.

[krayero]

Hi Olipro, and all forum members reading!

First of all, thanks for all the great hard work on all the HardSPL's!
I had many windows mobiles in the past, and they provided great help to me.
One thing just came into my mind..
Since i have read on another thread, that the features of a chipset (which is the same in both the Touch Pro and the Diamond, if i got it right) are enabled/disabled by a license, which is biult in the bootloader (/SPL?).
Was that right?
Since the only thing i`m missing from my Diamond is the TV-Out, would it be possible in this case, to grab the license somehow from the Touch Pro, and flash it to Diamond?
Or to grab the SPL to do the same with.. or are they totally different?

Thanks in advance for your much appretiated time and help,
Kind regards

I'v a MDA Compact IV / DIAM200. i just want the original HTC rom on my phone. Therefore i first have to install Hard-SPL. i'v tried unsigned v1.40 but i hangs at 0%. Any ideas?

If i just want the original rom, can i just use the signed version?

As it says on the first page of this thread:

Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it. then once the screen is black, run RUU manually (you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious).
INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE

That is exactly what I did, and it ended with saying that everything was succesful. (My doesn't hang at 0%, it compleates 100% OK)
But when I reboot i still have my stock SPL 1.93.00.00

What else do I need to do to get a Hard SPL ?

PS! Everything is working so it is not bricked yet

1.93.00.00 is the OS version not the SPL.
why don't you read all the instructions? they will answer your question as to how to check.

Hia,

I'm also reading http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_diamond_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

When I do this I get the "tricolore" on screen, but this is only on for 1/10 second and there is no way anyone can read what comes up on screen.

Do you have any other idea on how I can read what Hard-SPL I have ?
Or how I can slow down the initial screen.

Thanks.

Read the TUTORIAL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

I can also recommend the Wiki and the Rules.

[MP_Swede]

Thanks, and I have read all those pages & wiki and so on.

The problem I has was that No-One mention that I should hold the Volume buttom pressed until I get the "Tricolore" screen.

So the solution was to Press and hold "Volume Down" and hold it pressed until the Tricolore was showed on screen.

Now I can read what Hard-SPL I have and I can finally move on and upgrade to some nice ROM.

Hi all,

Screen is black.
Just wonder that is why reinstalled stock spl.

I think I made the same mistake (but there is a happy end).

Starting with an Orange (FR) Diamond, ROM version 1.37.x:

1. I flashed the 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL
2. then the HTC 1.93.x ROM update (got tricolor boot loader then progress bar... OK)
3. and then the 1.93 stock SPL just to have a "stock" Diamond (neither tricolor screen nor progress bar but the flash process completed successfully)

Of course, today I couldn't resist to the new 1.00.25.08 radio so:

4. I flashed again the 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL (neither tricolor screen nor progress bar but the flash process completed successfully)
5. just to try another adventure, I flashed the 1.93 Olinex unsigned HSPL
6. then I flashed the radio ROM -- the tricolor boot loader screen and progress bar were back, the process completed successfully...

OK, I will keep 1.97 HSPL ;-)

I really thank all the contributors of this forum, specially cmonex, Olipro, tom_codon, duttythroy, A_C, and all I am forgetting and who are making a great work.

Kind regards.

Hi guys,

i've flashed to 1.40 Olinex unsigned HSPL. In the earlier posts, it says that the HSPL has overwrite protection. So the question is, how do i flash from 1.40 HSPL to other version of HSPL?

do i need to roll back to the ori spl and then only flash to other version of SPL? Just wanna test out on other SPL as there's some problem with my edge/gprs connection..

I don't think so. I think it is possible to directly flash a HSPL over an existing one... But it would be safer to wait for the advice from an expert.

[menghua84]

NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using HardSPL.
if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.


this is why I'm worried bout flashing other SPL over this version... any advise?

[menghua84]

guys... anyone can advice on my question?

[podman2004]

here's the SPLs... 1.23, 1.34, 1.37, 1.93.
EDIT: I uploaded 1.35 later because people couldn't understand there was no real difference between 1.34 and 1.35. so it is now in the second attachment in this post.
new: also uploaded 1.93 now.


if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the package posted at the beginning of this thread), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.

if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).

edit: some people apparently can't figure it out or read the whole thread, so to save trouble, please read the following:

STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.
2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.
that's it.

Which one of these woudl I use to return a uk tmobile diamond back to it's origional please? I know which rom and radio it was but not sure which jardspl to flash when I'm done. Any help wodul be greatly appreciated.....


Thanks

I've having problems since i've bought my diamond. It's suddenly stops ringing and starts only vibrating when i have an incomming call, without sounds. When it happens I have to make a soft reset to it become normal again; but the same problem occours many times in a day! I tried to play music when it occours, and the speaker works normally. All volume (ring and system) are in the maximum. Every day i loose many calls because of this problem. I have already updated the rom version with the one provided by HTC hong kong, but the problem continue. I have a ring delay problem too; it rings on the 3rd time, after the lights flashes. Can anybody help me?
Please.

simply download one of the HSPL versions you want, it will be a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and replace the RUU_Signed.NBH with this in the original HSPL package. then go ahead and flash.

do not try doing it from bootloader directly. you weren't doing the instructions to the T if you did that :(
what happens if you try it with the phone synced to activesync?

any of these really, i suggest you use the 1.93 one.

[frozenwaffles]

i tried it from activesync. if i do it from activesyn the phone just goes black, then wait for about 3-5min and i get a connection error. tried this like 10 times! i know how to read...
i am runningn vista, then tried eveything again from a xp machine...all the same results!

when the phone goes black, please go on with the RUU (yes it is normal).

do not use a USB hub.

someone also said that it might be worth disabling the advanced network functionality in settings on the phone before you start.

also, the NBH you want to install must be one of the SPL's I posted.

[zaphyr]

simply download one of the HSPL versions you want, it will be a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and replace the RUU_Signed.NBH with this in the original HSPL package. then go ahead and flash.

So, to go from a signed to unsigned SPL, I do the following:

1. download the signed SPL again
2. Unpack it
3. Download the unsigned SPL
4. Unpack it
5. Copy the file RUU_Signed.nbh from the unsigned folder to the signed folder
6. Reflash the signed SPL

no, that is only for stock SPL replacement procedure (it is intentionally made like that so users don't download that package instead of hardspl :P ).

basically, just get one of the unsigned hardspl OliNex package from post #2 in this thread and flash it

[dezz]

How can I check is it the OliNex Unsigned Hard-SPL or signed one after it was flashed?
Yes I flashed and have my doubts about what it is. In booloader it does show

SPL 1.40.Olinex

But when I start the RUU again it shows 1.37.118.3 spl (during upgrade)


And is there a list of supported ROMs?

eh, the RUU says that nowhere. that is OS version

1.40.OliNex is unsigned so it supports any ROM
