It appears you have the same type of phone as I do, It's even a G4 Phone so be careful not to use G3 on your phone or you will BRICK IT.
I'll give you what you might like. I had a hard time myself figuring out what to do with my phone and researched, but since it looks like you already did an hard SPL patch you can install a windows mobile rom without having to use a Soft SPL *since HARD SPL even if your CID is still locked can still be tricked with that permanent patch that tricks the phone into thinking it's unlocked.*
you will mostly have to do a RUU utility update to do this job with the phone on and active synced.
I'm using something that is from cracing's custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494802
He gives out instructions in his notice and it is very thorough of what to do when flashing your phone.
If you dont like his windows mobile roms try others like searching other peoples cooked roms in the Wizard section of the forum in windows Mobile 6 threads. Here's another link to another Windows mobile 6 from X2H's Builds

make sure you always read what their info says and always make notes to everything. once you know what you're doing it'll be easy.
Be advised that once you start flashing here's what you should see. You should see your phone showing a RGB Color window, if it shows progress on the phone and your PC, DON'T TOUCH or REMOVE USB. Just sit back and let it do its job. Grab a snack or watch TV while the process does it and always make sure your phone is charged by at least 70% or higher or it will not go further. After the process is done your phone should soft reset and your pc program will tell you it was successful.
I hope this has helped you with enough info.
