Was creating a new thread REALLY necessary? When there's at least 2-3 others about this...

But the only answers seem to be "flash HardSPL" & official WM5 rom, which i dont have being on Orange M700!
i want to be able to flash using SSPL straight from 1 cooked Rom to another.
p.s. i'll make sure i P.M. you before i start another thread!

No it isn't, here's the answer:

The "official" WM6 rom NBH file has the OS part tagged as 0x401 (256Mb NAND) instead of 0x400 (128Mb NAND). Only the new SPL-3.03 included in this "official" upgrade is able to understand 0x401, so SSPL, HardSPL or CrashProof SPL or whatever that's not based on this SPL-3.03 (or newer) will not be able to understand the NBH header type 0x401 and will stop at OS flashing.

The solution is simple:

Unpack the NBH and repack it tagging OS as 0x400, then flash it using SSPL, or whatever hacked SPL choice we have.

i've never tried unpacking an NBH or retagging!
is this something the knowledgeable cooks on here will manage easily?

thanks, i appreciate the offer, but i think i will wait for a cooked Rom with HTC homeplug, audiomanager & no slow down?
apparently the only way to get HTC apps with no slow down is to have them cooked into a rom?
