Hello,

First my question :
I'm now thinking about reinstalling official ROM but my question is : should I remove Hard spl and move back to initilial IPL/SPL before loading the WM5 rom.


Then the context:
I'm a newbie and 2 days ago I've tried to upgrade my I-Mate K-Jam to WM6.1.
After having carrefully read several thread and in particular the thread "Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies" i first start to unlock my G4 mobile with HardSpl. This was a great success so I moved on to the next step loading a WM6 ROM. I choose the WizFlo 6.1.1.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435228) but this was not a success since my K-Jam was just looping on the splash page/alignment wizard and reboot. I really thought that I had turned my mobile into a brick but was still continuing to investigate and yesterday evening I've learned how to just start the bootloader by pressing the camera button while starting-up. Yepee, 2 a clock this morning, I succeed loading the vanilla version of the TNT rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388229. Super everything was working fine so I went to bed.
This morning, very proud of what I've done alone I just decided to move from the TNT vanilla version to the professional version. This was a mistake since then I was never able to restart my K-Jam. It just freeze on the TNT splash screen. I've tried to reload several other rom but the TNT splash screen remains and my mobile just continue to freeze.

I'm now thinking about reinstalling official ROM but my question is : should I remove Hard spl and move back to initilial IPL/SPL before loading the WM5 rom.

Thanks in advance for your help

YES!
In order to revert back to official rom,you'll first have to remove HardSPL,otherwise it'll Brick the phone.
Secondly, have you tried a Hard Reset,it might help the phone to start working.Is your battery fully charged ?
After getting the phone HardSPL,there's no reason for any wm6 roms like TNT to stuck up,it might be that the battery is weak or flat.
Get the battery fully charged,try a Hard Reset,otherwise reflash TNT.

Almost a week I'm working on my mobile but no sucess yet.

One more question, Is there any special restart or reboot to be performed once the rom load process is complete ?

I've tried to install Loverom or merlin rom but even if the splash page change I never go furher. I'm now considering on moving back to an official ROM. But since I didn't backed up mu rom before all of these update process I'm gone use a download one.
K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.exe. This official package install a ROM file and the RUU utility, but how can I check that the rom does not contain IPL nor SPL file.
Is there a way to check rom content before a load. I'm using hardspl and I've read that if I instal a ROM with IPL/SPL i will turn my device into brick.

May be I should also remove hardspl but how can I do this ?
