When i download the USPL_2.28.0000_with_IPL_2.27 it comes with a folder named RUU.

The folder of the ROM (Onyx Ultimate 4.0) i choosen to flash comes too with a RUU folder.

Flashing SPL proccess:

************************************************** ***********

Please make sure Activesync is enabled (green icon in systray)
and hit ENTER to start...

STEP 1/3......50%......75%....100%

The next step will load a patched bootloader (SPL) on your device
it will make your device temporary SuperCID (seclevel=0), and will
avoid modelID and signature checking when flashing NBH files.

Hit ENTER to continue...

STEP 2/3.....15%.....25%...50%...75%.....100%

Phone screen should now be blank and the activesync icon gray
if not, the loading procedure has failed and you'll have to repeat again.

If all was OK hit ENTER and the standard "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility"
window will start, allowing you to flash patched SPL on your device.

Hit CTRL+C to Cancel or ENTER to continue...

Follow the steps on the wizard to flash the patched SPL, when this
step completes your device will reboot.

STEP 3/3 - Launching RUU, please wait...

Process is finished, congratulations!

My question about this proccess is in step 3, when is saying "Launching RUU".

What RUU is this? Do i need to complete this RUU and then execute the RUU for Onyx? Is there 2 RUU happening to a successful flashing?

I saw in a site this tutorial:

1) Extract the USPL files to a folder, keep this window open.
2) Connect the Orbit to your PC (or laptop).
3) Once you have the Green ActiveSync icon, run start_uspl.exe, in your open folder from 1).
4) The start_uspl program opens in it's own DOS window. When the progress indicator reaches 100, 2 things will happen.

- ActiveSync will disconnect (you should also hear the 'USB Disconnect/reconnect' sound on your desktop), and
- The orbit screen will go blank (mine goes black, some go white)
Don't let this put you off, and continue undeterred, you're nearly there. Also, don't be tempted to disconnect anything, or reset your device.

5) Return to your extracted files window from 1), run ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
6) Follow the instructions in the three screens to start the update, which should take about a minute (not 10 as the screen suggests).
7) Once you get the "Congratulations" screen, the USPL phase is complete

What i can see from here is that i will complete the RUU from the SPL and then execute again another RUU thats comes in the Onyx folder. Right?

Sorry for the lammes questions :(
