Great guide - thanks!

Great guide! I wish something like this was here last year when I got my Hermes. I'm sure it will cut down on n00b questions, and make actually READING the threads easier. Thanks for making the best windows mobile site, that much better!

Upgrade

Hi I have just upgrade today and ticked the yellow one for version 1.09 and the flash went fine. Then i entered bootloader and it said 1.35. But then when i flashed the new radio it say 1.09 is this normal? I am just not sure.
Sorry if this has already been asked or if it is a dumb question

Not a dumb queston, when you upgraded it used "1.09.des" which is SSPL. What were you upgrading with?..........EDIT, never mind.

Dont worry you have HardSPLv5 on your device.

Help..

O do not seem to be able to download the 1.35 oli pro zip file..Comes up with "unexpected end of archive message" message. Could someone post another link to it please?

mrvanx · Mar 30, 2007

There is only one link to it. Give your pc a reboot and start again sir.

Avantis · Mar 30, 2007

Thank you..

Have managed to get it now..

Thanxs for the fast reply so it is normal not to show 1.35 when it does the radio upgrade or rom upgrade and instead show 1.9?

Yes like i said it was the version of SSPL which the installer used.

(this is in the various threads so please do a search)
SSPL by Des is a secondary bootloader which is pushed to the device by the RUU, It does the flashing process instead of your embedded SPL (HardSPL) and on the screen it will display "1.09.des". This bypasses the CID checks etc...

sir_italia · Mar 30, 2007

Once again thanxs that makes thing a alot clearer.

doesnt work for me i get an invalid attachment message, but no matter I did download it from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=296722

I would like to ask a quick question though and that is when you do the upgrade must you select force Hard SPL as in the page i have put a link to above the instruction is to force the hard spl.

thanks for the help

The guide says to use "force Using SSPL", thats all you need to do.
