HardSPL + Rom Upgrades

[tvos]

Friends,

I read through the faqs, instructions, and did my research. Still, there are a few questions.

I have been successful in upgrading to Gullum's diamond rom which is awesome btw. Now, I am on the prowl checking out other roms from the other authors.

Each time I perform the hardspl which successfully goes through w/no glitches . At the bootloaded screen (tri-color) it shows KAIS1*0 MFG SPL-1.0.OliPOF.

Shouldn't it read HARDSPL Version 3.? after the spl update?

Basically, in a nutshell this is what I did:

1. CID unlock program "kaiser- CID Unlocked
SPL01.0 OLIPOF

2. HardSPL Version (per authors instruction)

3. ROM Upgrade.


Please advise for the advance instruction,

Tvos

Did you jumpSPL before you upgrade to HardSpl 3.xx?

If not, search for JumpSPL! :)

Also, you dont need to CID unlock everytime. just once is enough.

[blogzter]

I agree, it must be the jumpSPL. Jocky's thread is stick in the ROM development.

[pachjo]

ditto this happened to me and jumpspl was the answer

[tvos]

no, i didn't use jumpspl before hardspl..

I actually used hardspl 3.56 with Laurentius26 and everything works beautiful!
w/o jumpspl..:)


All the steps are pretty basic, but question on the following:

1b. pull out the battery, REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !! and reinsert battery (this step *is* important)

2. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe

** When I copy the .exe to my device, is it to the storage card? Previous step states to remove sim,sd card, and battery.

** If I install JumpSPL1.56 successfully, I don't need to install 1.93 correct?

6. now flash hardSPL (run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from flash-hardSPL.zip on your PC)

7. After I run KaiserCustomRUU.exe, then I should be able to run
HardSPL v3.07, v3.28, v3.29 and v3.56 - per authors instruction.

8. Reload the authors ROM.


Is this correct?

please advise and thank you!

You copy the JumpSPL onto your device memory!(becuase you have already removed your SD card;))

When you install JumpSPL 1.56 without anyproblems then you dnt need 1.93, correct.

Then run HARDSPL 3.xx...

Flash your rom.

[tvos]

tried JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe, then SDA application lock still nothing..

okay - did all that and KAIS1*0 MFG SPL-1.0.OliPOF still shows.

any ideas?

let me ask .. when you first tried to hardspl did you run into whitescreen? if so you probably need to use the same version of jumpspl 1.56 or 1.93 that you used to get past whitescreen. Secondly once you have copied the jumpspl file to your device you have to run it from there.

Hope this helps.

p.s. glad to see you got the rom flashed .. sorry couldn't respond sooner :)

Hello...

I own the AT&T Tilt and first used app to unlock the device,sid, cid etc.
HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)
Everything ran fine when updating the rom.

After that, I then ran hardspl thinking that it updated the spl but didn't. After that, moved on to Gullums, Laurentias, and Dutty's rom (testing each one). No problems flashing, however it's not the correct hardspl installed.

So I decided to post and see what could be done to get the correct hardspl on there.. I have tried everything with jumpspl (both versions) and didn't take. I tried this about 4-5 times - nada.

I noticed that HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free) stated for Kaiser, but I own the tilt. Does that matter?

ANy ideas would be appreciative.

no it doesn't as they are the samething except the tilt lacks the front camera. i don't know why u are having problems. using jumpspl i have switched between all of these newer spls provided by jockyw... hmm :confused:

OK. First off, if your bootloader shows you as having an SPL or **Olipof then you have a HardSPL installed. You can then flash to your hearts content. Second, you don't need to flash HardSPL ever again, unless uprading the HardSPL that is. All you need to do is download the ROM and then flash it.

JumpSPL is only used when uprading SPL number that is all. If you install a HardSPL and bootloader says **Olipof or whatever then HardSPL is installed. After this only update the ROM by downloading a new one and flashing........

[tvos]

Hmm,

if it's any consulation, so far I like Laurentius rom...:)

I will keep trying - just to refresh the steps.

1. remove battery, sim, storage card,
2. insert battery, usb
3. install JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe
4. remove usb, re-insert and then run flash hardspl
5. install hardspl version 3.x

correct?

[Shand359]

The steps you have mentioned are correct FOR UPDATING THE SPL VERSION. you dont need to go through this every time. Once HardSPL is installed it stays installed, even after a ROM flash........

[Shand359]

If you use the original HardSPL, bootloader shows SPL as 1.0Olipof or something. If you install a newer HardSPL it shows as SPL: 3.28, 3.29 etc Hard.

If you are unsure, go into bootloader and see what SPL version your phone is at. If it shows 1.0 Olipof, 3.28 Hard, 3.29 Hard or [anything else] Hard then you have a HardSPL installed and can flash ANY rom you like. Only one exception to this. DO NOT flash an HTC ROM after HardSPL or you MAY need to re-flash HardSPL before changing it to a cooked one at a later date.

[tvos]

I thought after running "HTC Hard SPL V1 CID Unlock - POF" I then needed to run HardSPL 3.xx.xx . After that, I could upgrade to what ever rom I choose?

If so, I guess that I'm done...:)

If you run V1 CID Unlock - POF, check the bootloader for the SPL version. If it says 1.0 Olipof, i think it is anyway. If Olipof is showing in the SPL field of the bootloader then you have version 1 of the HardSPL installed and can flash any ROM. The updated HardSPL's ie 3.28, 3.29 etc are only to try to help with a few minor bugs that some ROM's have. I currently have 3.29 installed on my Kaiser and the Diamond ROM installed and all works like a charm. Any bother give me a shout.

going offline to get some food. Back on later. Good luck. If your bootloader shows Olipof, get a ROM flashed for god sake........lol

[QUOTE=DO NOT flash an HTC ROM after HardSPL or you MAY need to re-flash HardSPL before changing it to a cooked one at a later date.[/QUOTE]


are you talking about a HTC rom released from the HTC for a release update?

right now, i have been using Laurentias rom and I like it a lot! only thing I hate is when the backlight goes dim.. I know there is a hack for that..

I'd like to find a rom that is bare bones, at&t, outlook, office, bluetooth, gps all included then I can start working my way in building it.

I think someone said Rotohammer's rom was built this way?

THank You for all the help!!!

OK, I am not sure if this is your problem after this long of a thread...

It looks like you are trying to jumpspl 1.56 over hardspl. Instead, run sspl-kais.exe on your tilt after you have removed your cards. Then on your computer, run the customruu with the desired hardspl version.

in kyphurs words:

How to Install 3.2x.Hard SPL:

1. Plug the device into your PC
2. Copy Jump/Soft to your device. use JumpSPL If you have the "White Screen" issue, if you don't, you can use SSPL-KAIS.exe.
3. Take out your SD card & SIM Card.
4. Run Jump/Soft SPL on your device
5. Wait for the bootloader screen to appear and "USB" to show.
6. Right-click activesync, go into connection settings and ensure Allow USB Connections is unchecked
7. Unplug your device from the USB port, wait 5 - 20 seconds, plug it back in.
8. Run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and flash the SPL

You may have tried this, but it might be that you are just using the wrong jump spl. I have not used the 1.56 version since I don't need it but I think it is for people that can't hard spl. Hope this helps.

[tvos]

thanx dude.. I did all that already, no luck...:)

I have 1.0 Olipof which is fine. I was able to flash different roms w/no problems and as stated above, I am set ready to go rom upgrading..

so far I really like: L26_Kaiser_DIAMONDV9 rom which works beautifully!

a few little quirks here and there, but these can be tweaked..:)

thank you all!

tvos

[yi3o8]

ok, I guess I just don't understand why your phone won't flash the .nbh file to change your hardspl. If 1.0 is working, then who cares, right?

[tvos]

as long it flashes with the rom upgrade, thats all i care about.. don't need a brick!
