How to find bootloader version? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I searched, but there is way too many results to go thru, about 100 pages. Please, I know its a noob question, but its a quick one. Im about to flash, so I need to know, what do I do to find bootloader version?

When you first power on your device, look in the upper left corner.
IPL x.xx.xx
SPL x.xx.xx
The x.xx.xx is your bootloader version

Always post vital data of the phone,untill it's not known which device you have,G3 or G4,it's hard to provide with any help.Post IPL SPL of your device.
If it's a G3 then its CID locked,you have not followed the correct unlocking procedure.Read the Guide and sticky by Dr.Puttingham and follow it correctly to CID unlock the phone.
If it's a G4,then you cannot straight away flash any Rom to it,to upgrade follow the method as Sticky 'SoftSPL or HardSPL' by equinox in G4 forum.
What error it gives while usung WST 4.2 Tool ?
Cheers !
i have a g3, and the ipl: 1.01 (becuase i downgraded because the instructions told me to) SPL : 2.16
and the wst tool give me a "in the rexx script named : at line number :2840"
and is there a way i can change me ipl back to 2.16? cause nothing is working for me =/
thank you for your response

ok, you got ipl 1.01 cuz you downgraded with Button's Rom 1.05 but your spl remained unchanged 2.16,its nothing to worry about,it sometimes take a little more tries to downgrade spl to 1.01,flash the Button's Rom 1.05 a couple of more times to make both ipl/spl 1.xx,only then you can CID unlock the phone with lokiwiz 02b.Follow the guide for downgrading and unlocking at the below link and do the method correct.Your phone is still CID locked,untill you get your phone CID unlocked you can not upgrade to any wm6 Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
But if you want to go back to your original wm5 Official k-jam Rom and have ipl/spl 2.16,then Download official k-jam Rom 'K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip' from official website of i-mate k-jam or from the following link below:-
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
1.unzip the Rom zipfile,get your phone into bootloaders screen (multicolored screen)by pressing and holding down the camera button and the Power ON button together,the phone will start in bootloaders(multicolored screen) it'll show you ipl 1.01/spl 2.16
2.when in bootloaders,connect your phone with pc via usb cable, a small usb written will appear at the bottom of the multicolored screen of your phone.confirm it.
3.open the unzipped folder of the downloaded Rom,run the RUU icon in it(double click Ruu.exe)
4. follow the instructions and flash the Rom,after completion,your phone will restart and start working.
Good luck !
thank you sooo soo much, im gonna try it again right now
i guess my phones SPL will not change. i must of flashed the ROM with buttons 1.05 about10 times but it still wont change .... oh well im just gonna go back to the stock rom my kjam is WEIRD haha

Bricked Herald

Hi there.
I am going to buy a very very cheap new Herald.. One bad thing. It's bricked. But bootloader (Tricolor) runs. My question is: How to flash official WWE ROM WM6.
(HTC_P4350_SPA_4.17.412.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe)
What IPL / SPL version does it have?
If its lower than 4, you may want to reconsider buying the phone since it may be permanently bricked, requiring being sent back to HTC which will only mean more $$$
TO check the IPL SPL version, you need to go into bootloader mode, which means hold down the camera button and soft reset the phone (sticking the stylus into the reset button the left side of the phone under the volume slider) while keeping the camera button pressed the whole time until you get a tri color screen with the version numbers. If they are less than 4something... you run the risk of permanently bricking the phone
ok..
Bootloader seems to be showing this:
IPL 1.11.0001
SPL 1.11.0001
USB
This is not good, or yes?
Ok, another way...
In attachment is picture of bricked Herald. Is any way to unbrick it - WM5/WM6?
Stock RUU ?
Are you guessing or you know what I have to do?
The problem with having an IPL/SPL thats less than 4x ... is that from my understanding, once its bricked ... there's no way to fix it without sending it to htc..
If you buy any chance have a stock ruu to try to run on it, but i don't know if that would work.
Try one of the htc roms from the herald wiki
HMmm.
To big risc for me. I don't know if that would be unbricked. I am go away from it. Sorry.

Bootloader gone ???

I have a Herald 100, wanted to upgrade to WM6.1, Originally had IPL 1.08.001 and SPL 1.08.001, did Hard-SPL 4.7 as per Instructions, Phone switched off and never restarted, went into Bootloader and showed me IPL 1.08.001 and SPL 4.7 Yan then I soft-reset and now its dead wont even go into Bootloader anymore. Any one can help ???
you aren't supposed to HardSPL with an spl less than 4. You may also need a higher IPL, but i'm not sure.
I've also heard reports that even with the 1.08.001 IPL and SPL, HardSPL still works.
So... to answer your question
1. try charging your battery
or
2. keep trying you might get lucky someday
or
3. you've utterly destroyed your phone and theres nothing else you can do
I get into the Bootloader again, IPL is 1.08.001 SPL is 4.7 Yang, tried with RUU 5.4 but Phone dies after 1% and i get Error 262. Do I have to install RUU 1.8 which was on originally now ??
i'd try it, but i don't know if it'll work
hardspl modifies the SPL, which is what controls the cid lock. my guess is that the lower spl doesnt quite accept the same instructions, which is why it doesnt work.
there are some threads about people who've made the same mistake and recovered their phones. look at those.
I can help you, contact me by PM
ps. Thanks for erase my last post
hey tramuyo, how exactly did you do it? There's been an increase in the amount of people that this happens to, and i'd very much like to have an answer and you seem to be the expert on this.
ps. whats that about erasing your last post?
Did you tried remove HardSPL?
Almost forgot, what model? Language? and make? You may need to restore the original rom to unbrick your phone
Try to do a hard reset. Hit both side buttons... and post results
Hard Reset shows me a Screen Canon Yang with Vodafone Logo and in the bottom right Corner: Now you're HardSPL. When i try and RUU with the original ROM i get no Connection.
On the RUU 5.4 the update starts and after 1% The Phone dies and the Update breaks off.
The Way i see it can either:
1. Remove Hard SPL or
2. Try this with the right Files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1848145&postcount=5
Problem solved, flashed with SD Card the Image from this Rom RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe according to this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2148052&postcount=27
Now I have IPL 5.04.0001 and SPL 4.70 Yang
Just wanted to mention, I have not been playing with WM for long, actually only since I own a WM Phone the last couple of month and this was my first Herald Experience, but therefore I have been flashing and fixing all other Cellphones for many years. The Herald Section in this Forum and the Wiki are not to well organised, could the Mods here maybe think of making a few Sticky Threads explaining the Basics to noobs in a Nutshell. I will post a new Thread later when I have a bit of time with my little Experience.

error 260 update error [HardSPL upgrade] newb question

I am trying to do the HardSPL upgrade on an orange spv m3100 as per http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26 I have the lates version of WMDC running on windows vist and can sync etc no problem
When i go through the process it shows current image as 1.23.61.4 When i carry on in brings upenter bl.exe on the phone. The phone then goes into the bootloader screen and the WMDC shows disconnected
The programme hows verifying the information on your hermes Then I get error 260 update error cant connect
The current bootloader says.
HERM100
1PL-SSPL by Des
HERM100
SPL-1.09.ds
Any ideas and help would be grately appreciated
thanks in advance....steve
Plz help
my phone shows following details
SPL-1.09.ds
when i upgrade to HardSPL 2.60, it does upgarde but when after restarting it again shows the same version of SPL
i am now unable to soft reset my phone
and one more problem i am facing is that my phone shows HERM200while before this problem it was HERM100
this problem arose after i tried to downgrade to MFG bootloader
before that i had SPL 2.30
plz help
fcwdadmin, as you have sspl.exe already running (known as soft SPL - 1.09 des) format 2Gb or less sd card FAT32, put the .nbh file of Hard SPL V7 on and rename to hermimg.nbh . Reset to bootloader - hold power, ok button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Follow the prompts. This should put Hard SPL V7 on your phone. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE Soft SPL INSTALLED...
Go to bootloader to check, it should read IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
You should now be able to put any rom on from the Hermes section. I recommend using the sd card method for that too.
Cheers...
the bootloader says:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.04
Is that the same thing again ??
Many thanks in advance
No, you don't have Hard SPL V7. I'd suggest going to the upgrade section and downloading the right Hard SPL. Its a sticky at the top.
Hard SPL V7 is the safest SPL to use as it offers a measure of safety that you don't otherwise have, making it at least possible to fix up your os if something goes wrong during a flash.
Read post 1160 on page 116 of the Hard SPL thread to find instructions on how to install it using the sd card method.
If you try to upgrade your os at the moment you stand a greater chance of ending up with a non recoverable brick or, at the very least, an agonizing amount of reading to just recover the os.
Hard SPL WON'T stop things going wrong but it offers a chance of recovery. V7 is the best for the person just interested in flashing roms occasionally (daily) so I'd suggest you get it.
It should read when you finish IPL - 1.04 and SPL - 2.10 oli.
No exceptions...
Cheers...

I've been trying to find help with this everywhere, but none of the steps seem to work for me. Should I consider the phone brick now cuz I can't get Hard SPL v7 on? I was able to go up to 1.40 using CID unlocker, but have been stuck since then.
Can you get the Hermes back into today screen?

No brick. I was able to get to SPL 1.40 and have been able to flash other ROMs. I've just read too many posts that says v7 is the way to go for stability sake.
Download Hard SPL V7 from the Hard SPL thread, go to page 116, post 1160 of the same thread for instructions on how to install using the sd card. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS EXACTLY... One thing wrong & it won't work.
Afterwards, you can use these steps, dropping the steps using SSPL.exe (Soft SPL) to install roms. I find it much easier & safer than using the pc.

remove "touch pro 2" screen with red letters

well i need to remove that start up screen installed by nrgz leo rom to return my tmous tp2 for warranty. ive tried the search function but no luck please help fast
You need to flash your stock ROM and stock SPL. Info in the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
i already put the stock rom. if i put the stock spl the screen will go away??
That screen you're referring to is not a result of you flashing a custom ROM. If you recall, that screen also appears when you boot the device right out of the box. So, flashing a stock ROM and SPL won't remove the screen. But they won't be able to tell that you flashed custom ROMS.
you sure
i really cant remember but are you sure it came like that?? (t-mobile us)
I don't know how much help it is, but I'm on Verizon(stock rom) and when I start up my phone, I get the "Touch Pro 2" logo in the middle with about 3 lines of red letters & numbers in the bottom right hand corner and a couple red numbers on the bottom left hand side.
yep my TP2 ( T-Mobile ) did that since day 1 out of the box.
are you talking about the boot screen?
like with the TmoUS tp2 it says "Stick Together" & then shows the info in the bottom right that pertains to ROM/Radio/Protocol version?
If so, search for a custom boot screen editor. I'm pretty sure you need HardSPL for it because it uses a custom flasher to change that image. That's how it was done with the Kaiser. used it all the time to change my boot image.
I just don't know if its been done for the TP2 yet.
