Hard-SPL for Quartz

---

Hard-SPL for Quartz thanks Cmonex

Preparations:

0) this package is for Quartz devices only. for QUAR100 so far (SSPL loader checks this, you will get a warning),
if your ModelID is different ask in thread for help.
1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en
2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-...ice-center.mspx


Instructions:

read this if unsure how to install Hard-SPL...

1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment (Quartz_HSPLWrapper_v1.zip), extract to an empty folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!!
3) run Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is strongly recommended,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar, press Yes on phone if asked. please answer with Yes as fast as you can!
5) some notes: when RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
6) device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 0.45-C.SSPL, this is the SSPL version, which is temporary.
7) HardSPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
8) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.45.cmonex, which is the Hard-SPL version.


NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter SPL to check version: from powered off state, hold volume up and down keys, while holding power button until you see tricolour screen.

NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy Quar-SSPL-Manual.exe from Quar-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is showing 0.45-C.SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe) on the PC and flash.

NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs. also, this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one, so if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is posted in this post as well. use this relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty, and only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. see steps at the end of this post about how to reflash stock SPL.

NOTE 4: do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (only for hardspl flash or stock spl restore)!!! nothing other than SPL's released here (using OliNex custom cert, which is not public) will flash to make SSPL more secure. if you want to flash some other rom, then use shipped RUU or customRUU if you need to flash cooked ROM.


Troubleshooting:

- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
-- ModelID checking:
if SSPL loader says it's for a different device but you definitely have a Quartz, please ask in thread for contacting cmonex for testing SPL on that too. check modelid by entering SPL tricolour screen manually and note what it says (QUAR100, or something else).
-- nothing happens on the device, does not enter tricolour screen mode:
anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please make sure you watch the device screen if it asks about running files. also try unchecking advanced usb functionality in settings.
if still problems, please copy Quar-SSPL-Manual.exe from Quar-SSPL-Manual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is showing 0.45-C.SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (Quartz_HSPLWrapper.exe) on the PC and flash.
-- general usb connection error problems if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to 0.45-C.SSPL screen:
- try a different USB port
- try different USB cable
- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy
- also do not use USB hub
- you can also try rebooting your PC
- and you can try using another PC.
- also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time and perhaps if you are on vista), then if RUU times out, but device still says "USB" on the tricolour screen, just leave it there and re-run the RUU when driver installation finishes.
- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.
-- other issues:
- if Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.


How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package from this post.
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 0.45-C.SSPL screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 0.45.0000.
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.


finally, credits: to Olipro for Hard-SPL concept, and SSPL loader is partially based on haret and old pof&Olipro jumpspl code.

well it was released many months ago, but XDA had no quartz section so it was only posted on pda4.ru. and I don't speak russian so it was posted by JUVS. I came here now after noticing there is a new section, as I wanted to post the HSPL, but I see JUVS was faster, hehe.
