[Q] HSPL and Mango

---

Hi there,

Having watched your fear-inspiring n00b video I feel that first an apology is necessary, however I was unable to post this in the relevent thread because I don't have enough posts, and someone else has asked the same question (so i don't feel dumb) but it didn't get an anwser so perhaps it was overlooked among other questions... So i do apologise, don't flame me, i'm a n00b, 'k...

So, I read your warnings, and I have NOOOO( B! ) idea what "HSPL" means, I am not a hacker or coder sans an A-level in computing... A VB if statement is about all i know :P
However, before my MS wp7 dev account was validated (I'm an impatient guy, having had my lego taken away as a kid and having bad feelings about it ever since) I used one of the hacks to flash Mango B1 onto my HD7. It is now restoring from the B2 to pre-mango-state (NoDo).

I have no idea wether or not the tool that i used is what is meant by HSPL, and so i really want to know wether or not I can safetly use Schubert, or if my phone will become an unholy breezeblock of sorts...

Fire extinguisher on stand-by incase i breached any rules that may get me flamed....

EDIT : Gah, the tool didn't work for me anyway, even in the bootloader mode.... never mind haha

HSPL/RSPL are hacked bootloaders that allow you to flash any ROM to your device. They are basically "unlocked" in that they don't perform the security checks.

Your stock SPL they refer to OSPL, O = original. The way to check if you have HSPL is to power down your device & than turn it back on by holding down Volume Down & pressing Power. Keep holding Volume Down till you see the Tri-Color screen (Red/Green/Blue/White). The second line will give your SPL version. If is says SPL, you have the stock SPL. If it says HSPL, than you have HSPL flashed.

Hope this helps.

PS: To get out of the Boatloader, pull your battery.
