15.02.2012 Updated release. Revision #3.
Changes:

• Was added support for 'SCHU1000' and 'PD291200' MIDs
• Removed OTA update inside RSPL and HSPL, this allows to keep HSPL after HTC OTA Zune update.
• Added warning screen about 4.XX and 5.XX
• But still NO support for 4.XX and 5.XX
• Support for CDMA devices: GoldC and SparkW
• Wizard UI: only WWE support remains.

NOTE for ROM chefs:
SparkW custom ROMs must has "SPAW1000" MID instead of "PC402000".
This is done to protect from flashing Spark custom ROM to Spark_W and reversed.

!Please note that on SPL screen MID is only 7 symbols, without last one.!

Programs stops any operations if unknown MID detected. If your device have unknown MID, please report about it in this thread. Specify your MID, device name, ROM versions. It’s nice, if you can give a link to download ROM.


Basic stuffs to know:

SPL is Secondary Program Loader. It allows to flash ROMs to device.
Without working SPL device is fully bricked, you can’t restore it. It’s why all operations with SPL are dangerous.
OSPL is Original SPL. This SPL comes with stock ROM and doesn’t allow to flash custom stuffs.
RSPL is Reloaded SPL. It load only to RAM, so it doesn’t persistent. It’s enough to soft reset device to get OSPL back.
HSPL is Hard SPL. It’s permanently flashed to internal device memory and replaces OSPL. After soft reset you still have HSPL instead of OSPL.

This release consists from RSPL and HSPL wizards.
For regular users, who flash ROMs rather rare, it can be enough to use only RSPL.
For advanced users and ROM makers, it can be useful to install HSPL.


IMPORTANT NOTES
1. Before doing any operations be sure you have battery level more than 50%!
Sometimes in SPL mode WP7F devices DO NOT charge. You may got a cold brick if it power down during SPL or RADIO update!
2. Stock RUU ROMs have two NBH inside, SPL_Signed and RUU_Signed.
So it's not possible directly flash stock ROM, you need extract files and remove SPL_Signed.nbh at least.
3. Rememeber if you have HSPL and you flashing stock RUU_Signed.nbh you lost HSPL!
4. Supported OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.


Warranty Issues

Be warned, using RSPL may void your warranty.

RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEAS E.exe

RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE .exe


About issue:

After running RSPL on MANGO OSPL, you can't flash device via SPL.
Windows Phone 7 OS is still booting and working.
Instead of full SPL screen you will see only one the first line:
You device will be "HALF BRICKED", because you can use OS, but can't flash anything else.



At the current moment it's IMPOSSIBLE to recover such devices. And I am not sure it will be ever possible.


What you must NOT do:

Before running RSPL wizard check your SPL screen.
There current SPL version at top: "X.Y.Z 2250 "
When wizard asks you to choose your current SPL version, be sure it's present inside versions list.
If your current SPL version doesn't present in the list, you can choose nearest version, BUT ONLY IF IT HAS SAME FIRST NUMBER!!
Example: You have 4.XX on the device. Do NOT choose 1.XX 2.XX 3.XX.

Generally it means that you must NOT run RSPL wizard after MANGO RUU ROM installation. You must flash older version (with 7004 or NoDo) and then run RSPL.
Installed OS version doesn't important. Only SPL version important.

Great work Cotulla you've done it again, broken through that barrier that just keeps our devices from being something wonderful.

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!
I've been waiting on this for ages!

I just want to confirm, Does this support *Schubert (HD7,HD7s, T9292,T9295,T9296) for the install of HSPL? When I launch the install HSPL program it does not show up as a supported device, but when you launch the Launch RSPL it shows up as a supported device. Thanks.

Enter your device to SPL mode (Hold VolumeDown during reset) and look at the screen:

if you see there "PD29****”, “PD291000” or “PD291100" - it should work

You need run HSPL program _only_ after successful run of RSPL program!
