FOR THE NON EXPERT USERS like me :D this is not a tutorial it's a question i wanna know if it's possible , cuz it's logicly possible
G4 G4 G4
i wannted to mention that i think from reading that the soft spl and hard spl is the same but the soft spl every time i flash i have to use and i don't think that it is hard or boring so


tell me experts what will happen to my G4 k-jam if i did this




copy the nk.nbf from the RADIO rom and put it in the soft spl folder like we do in Regular Roms to flash it

the nk.nbf from the rom only has a gsm i checked no spl or ipl or extrom or os or splash nothin just gsm

so what will happen to my runing rom TNT 19209 pro

i wanna know if it will addition the gsm only or it will brick my Wizard

Its probablly going to corrupt your current ROM. It wont brick your Wizard exactly, but youy wont be able to start your device....thats what happened to me when I tried something similiar anyways.

thx for respond in my stupid posts :D and i'm sure u think that i'm just noob and don't accept any new ideas my proplem that i just want to leave my spl and ipl the way they r

by the way

i can solve my proplem by flashing an imate official rom but i'm afraid to do that


cuz it have all spl and ipl and os and every thing and waht i should do to flash just open the exe downloaded file and proceed or what



a stupid question as useual da the official roms require a cid unlocked device in g4 or what and is there is any way that the official rom can be harmfull to my g4 Wizard


if this official is great for me and not harmfull it has a radio version that works fine with me after i flash the official rom i 'll soft spl to tnt again but this time with the old radio that works for me




what do u say :D?

  1. Yes, you can use SoftSPL to flash a new GSM ROM to your phone.
  2. No, there's no way an official ROM can hurt your phone. They check your hardware and flash appropriately. For best results, stick to the original provider's ROM.
  3. There's no reason to be concerned about leaving your IPL SPL unmodified. Even if you use HardSPL, you can still revert back to an official ROM, after removing HardSPL.
  4. If you do a HardSPL, you can flash pretty much anything that doesn't include IPL/SPL, including new boot screens, new radios, and almost every recent ROM in the Wizard Mobile 6 thread.
  5. The phone must be CID-locked to flash an official ROM. If you used HardSPL, you would have to remove it (read the sticky-ed thread in the top of the G4 board) before going back to an OEM ROM. If you try to flash a G4 with HardSPL in place, you risk bricking it.
  6. The newer TNT-based ROMs do not (and should not) include a radio as part of the package.
Don't use older ROMs, they are less reliable, and more likely to brick a G4 than newer ROMs are. Use this thread to choose a good ROM after you flash back to the OEM ROM and HardSPL your phone. If you like TNT, you should probably use one of these versions.

Be carefull!
There are official pre-G4 ROMs, they do not contain a G4 IPL/SPL therefore a pre-G4 (G3-only) official ROM most certainly will brick your G4 device.
Several members have reported bricks due to this!

BTW soft-SPL was designed to flash anything, including Radio. :)

Just remove all the IPL/SPLs from the ROM.
No problem in flashing an stripped ROM.

Radio only flashing won't result in a corrupted ROM, but why with soft SPL?
Just flash hard SPL and feel the freedom of flashing with a RUU without using the sspl.

You better use your own brain rather than relying to an invisble friend, but yeah, the procedure should work.

I know the feeling!
I was really nervous when I first tried to reflash the bootloaders, however radio and OS ROMs aren't critical.
If the bootloader still works in good order you should be able to recover from almost any mishap.

Good luck!
