My device is in good condition and running WM6 Black, however, I got a new job that provides a PDA phone, so Im wanting to sell my Cingular 8525 (walking around with two PDA's on my belt is a little much). Before I sell my 8525 I want to put it back to Factory setting so whoever buys it doesn't have problems from cingular. I've read through the forums and couldn't find anything about downgrading a device. I went to HTC and got the latest official rom from them for cingular, but before I try to flash that I just want to make sure it wont brick my phone because of the upgraded Radio and SPL that I have. I need to know if it will put the radio and SPL back to factory versions? if not any way to put everything back to factory/offical cingular release. My device info in listed in my Sig. i'm sorry if this is posted somewhere else, i promise I read through every search result and looked through the wiki. Please help? (unless someone wants to buy a moded 8525 ;-) )

I have done upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to factory ROM a couple of times, and my JASJAM hasn't got any problem.

its the SPL I'm worried about, I've read on here before that when sent back to cingular/HTC for repair or what not that the warrenty was voided and the customer was charged for a new phone because it had a forign bootloader/spl. thats what worries me a little.

You'll have to downgrade the SPL to 1.10 or less first, otherwise that factory ROM won't overwrite it. This is clearly detailed in the Hard-SPL release notes/thread (see link in my sig).

I've downloaded ruu_hermes_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe from HTC website for cingular 8525. Should I flash that first, then try to find a factory SPL to flash, then flash the cingular rom again to get the SPL back to what the current released spl/rom settings are? Where do i find the factory SPL, I only see Hard-SPL-V6.zip.

I got everything back to factory besides the SPL. (radio, os, ipl. ect) I followed the instructions for repeating the kock steps (after wm5 was installed) to redo the radio and spl. the radio took but the spl still say's SPL-1.40.Olipro

To repeat, Hard-SPL > 1.10 purposefully prevents overwriting the SPL (as do the factory SPL's > 1.04). The downgrade guide doesn't address this, unfortunately.
You'll need to downgrade to Hard-SPL 1.10 (yes, there's something other than V6 still available), then reflash the factory ROM or your repackaged radio/SPL nbh.

I downloaded SPL-OliproMFG. extracted. used koch to make the nbh with the SPL.* file (not the SSPL file) and the ruuwrapper to update the phone. I chose SPL-1.11/1.13/1.30/1.40 New bootloader because thats the current SPL on my phone (SPL-1.40) with the option Hard-SPL checked. It connects to the phone, transerfer 100% and resets the phone. After it boots I press the okay and power +reset and it still showes SPL-1.40.Olipro.
Did I download the wrong file or am I using the wrong settins on the RUUwrapper? I'm doing my best to read through everything and actually try, that is what i'm told will not piss off the senior members, you are willing to help those that try to help themselves. so I appreciate everything you guys are offering me. I just wanted to let you know that.

Yes and yes. Use the Hard-SPL link in my sig to get 1.10 - Olipro SPL (a.k.a. "flavour 2"). You have to force SSPL when flashing it, otherwise it won't downgrade (for the same reason your factory ROM isn't downgrading it).
To flash the old spl, put it into an nbh image as in the guide, when you flash using RUU select force SSPL. voila
Everything is back to normal and working GREAT! Thanks for all of your help!

Perhaps you could update your downgrading guide to reflect this? I see "Why didn't my SPL downgrade?" questions all the time.
Also, IMO when reverting to "factory", one should downgrade SPL last, or at least separate from the radio. By doing so, you would retain the anti-bricking and "quick flash" (if > 1.10) benefits of Hard-SPL while flashing the radio, which as we know is the most risky.

Agreed, except that if one has Hard-SPL > 1.10 installed on their device (which so many do at this point), they can't just repackage SPL.nb from the original factory ROM per the guide and expect it to downgrade (which is what krisg0 encountered). Same holds true for factory SPL > 1.04.
Thought perhaps you could take the guide one step further to say that if you have Hard-SPL > 1.10, you must downgrade to Hard-SPL = 1.10 before a factory SPL flash will overwrite it. I believe this to be the primary reason Olipro left v1.10 available.
IMO, adding this bit of info to the guide has the potential of cutting down on a lot of "How do I downgrade my SPL?" questions.
It's your guide, of course -- just thought I'd offer my 2 cents for improving it and maybe even eliminate some repetitive questions on the forum...

You dont need to downgrade the SPL twice, simply package the old the SPL into the nbh image then flash using customRUU....select force SSPL and it WILL overwrite the SPL regardless of the version you currently have.

OK, yeah, that would be the more direct route when disassembling and repackaging the factory nbh and downgrading in stages. I just didn't see anything about forcing SSPL on the SPL part, that's all.

Yes ofcourse, the only real use for flashing an old radio and old SPL is incase you want to send it back for warranty....however my guide is just for downgrading to WM5

JUST LIKE NEW - I just had to see if I could do it... loading back my CUSTEL
Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread

Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...

The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!
after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol
Accepted Defeat
Hi
I accepted defeat and exchanged the unit.
Thanks for all the help.

I was asked to patch USPL for ROM size checking when flashing via RUU, so this version does not check size even when flashing via USB. (original SPL skips the size checks only when SD flashing.)
I did this a few days ago, but didn't get around to posting it
download from attachment, enjoy! donations are always appreciated to the "To Cmonex" link in my signature
how to use it: if you already have a version of artemis USPL installed, simply flash this new version using RUU or from SD (ARTEIMG.NBH on FAT32 formatted SD)
in bootloader (tricolour mode) it should then say version: 1.11.cmon
for instructions on installing any USPL if you have no USPL yet - check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 until I have more time/motivation for userfriendly packaging
more plans: if I get time/motivation I might upgrade this to be full HSPL (overwrite protection)
Well done Cmonex..!
Thanks so much.

Thread Sticked.

But I dont really understand. Can Flash under vista ou seven with no drivers ?
it's the same process.
The difference is that you can flash any rom without size limits.
Before you only could do this with SD Card method.
not working
its not working
it gives the same error : invalid size
canu explain step by step plzzzz
Is you bootloader showing SPL 1.11.cmon?

hello everyone ....i want to upgrade my o2 orbit wm6 to wm 6.1 or any cooked rom currently i am using wm6 but the problem is my active syncro is not working is there any other to start uspl without acive syncro.....give some suggestions ...thank for ur time...
Hello!
Is there any way to load USPL from bootloader (without ActiveSync)?
Regards!
HSPL is released by bepe here but there is limitation of flashing ROM from SD Card if the cooked ROM image includes SPL.
Now Question and Request:
I am wondering if SPL can be removed from cooked ROM image. If yes, I would suggest to ALL CHEFS to remove SPL from the ROM image, so that everyone can flash all cooked ROM from SD Card without overwriting HSPL.
Anyone, any idea?
gd.. so it wont create confuse
Guys, when I was clarifying in bepe's thread regarding this, I think it was only a NO, NO, with having stocked Roms in the SD card as Stocked Roms would contain the SPL package.
Cooked Roms don't have this thus SD flashing should be fine...
Can I have a chef please confirm this so that this confusion can be put to rest.

You may be right.
Yeah, it would be great to have some chef confirming this so that we feel safe when flashing cooked ROM from SD card.
Ok, I have confirmation from Xannytech, SPL's are included in chef's Rom so at this stage in the development......
NEVER FLASH YOUR DEVICE USING THE SD CARD UNLESS IT"S SPECIFIED BY THE CHEF THAT ITS SAFE TO DO SO..
CHEFS should mentioned on their First page as they usually do, the Best way to Flash their Rom.
Perhaps in the future Roms maybe SD Flash Friendly, but at this stage they are NOT. Well some are but not to make matters confusing, just simple use your PC-USB way of flashing.

I don't really understand why to include SPL.nb to custom ROM... I never see this in other phone model. I'll take a look to a part of actual ROM but I really don't understand. I think to have ONLY OS.nb and some time a RADIO.nb is sufficient (and less dangerous) [SPL flash can brick the device but not OS].
So I haven't coocked with new style kitchen (old-style coocking ) I'll take a look to this.

From [TUT] How to change from one official ROM to another:
6 (normal): Put your Favourite OFFICIAL Rom on the Leo
--a:Right click on your exampleOFFICIALrom.exe and Extract it to a folder
--b:From the extracted file locate RUU_signed.nbh and rename it LEOIMG.nbh
--c:Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to your MicroSD card
--d: Make sure your phone is charged at least 80% then power it off
--e: Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN then Press POWER button
--f: A menu will appear select (usually the power button) to continue to write the ROM
--g:After 5-10 minutes the phone should tell you the ROM was successfully written and the bar is full. You can now press reset (the small Red button beside the battery, use a pen)

Xanny's Rom does include the SPL but its just not any SPL that will impact the HARD SPL , it's the SPL that contains the 1.42.000 one that will override the HDSPL.
Well quite simply I dont understand the worry.
First off, always install HSPL just in case you dont have a goldcard.
Then always flash a cooked rom with SSPL and you will never have to worry about it!
problem solved.
And should you re-install a stock ROM either via HTC's website or stage 6 as posted, re-install HSPL again.
Problem solved.
And if you're really paranoid have a goldcard anyway

First off, Hard SPL is to be only done once.
Secondly, having Hard SPL and using SSPL is not only redundant but makes no sense.
Thirdly, just flashing using the Active Sync bottom line.
Forth, for Folks who want to flash via SD card, just do it and you can always check Bootloader after to see if you wiped out HDSPL. No biggy, just make sure your flash HDSPL over again for your next flash.
Still easier then using SSPL & Gold Card route.
Enough Said...
Firstly: But you will have to do HSPL more than once if you flash a stock ROM or a cooked ROM that overwrites HSPL? or do no cooked roms do that?
Secondly: I only thought that you should use SSPL just incase the cooked rom overwrote HSPL?
Thirdly: duh, yeah i didnt see the obvious. sorry.
Fourth: yeah, you're right - I was just thinking what if the ROM hosed the device lol and you werent able to re-install HSPL.
I could be totally wrong - never done this stuff before. just getting the technical stuff right first before i plow in with an actual device.
thanks for any tips.
I'm having a little problem with the super display of my BIG(marvelous)HD2..
Now after some months of playing with roms and others, i have two stains/halos near/under the battery connectors and processor..(anyone has the same ?)
I'm thinking to deliver it in Htc center
but surely not with the AxLor 10 rom flashed in...
So to reset it in Factory condition how i have to do?
I was thinking to execute Task29, and then install the 1.66 original rom
but i don't now if its all right,probably i forgot some things..
so pleeeeeeeeeeeese
can someone help me?
Thanks!!!!!

That's all you need to do mate!!!
Your HD2 will be in the very first condition from HTC.
Task29 will remove the rom and when you put your original rom back on, you can do it 1 of 2 ways:
- either flash it via sd card, or
- flash via pc and then run HSPL2 and change hspl back to spl 1.66.0000
The removal of hspl is key as most service centres will check for this

No, running the exe file will not replace the spl version. This can only be done if you flash the rom.nbh file via the sd card.
The easiest way though is to run the exe and then use hspl2 to revert to your stock spl. To check your spl version, switch the device off and then while holding the volume down button in switch the device on. It will boot up in a multicoloured screen and will display the spl version.
i executed the task29 by ShaDrac ( with radio....)
now when i enter in boot loader: picture it's really bad.. I have:
PB81100 HK-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
i don't think it's ok.. I'm not sure..
reading CotullaHSPL, it means it was not factory default.. or not ? bhuuuu..
the rom now is 1.66..
pleeeze it's factory default now?
its only stock once the spl ends .0000
like clyde mentioned, your next step is to run hspl2 and choose an spl that ends 0000, and that will remove the 1.42.hspl and replace it with stock.
Go for 1.66.0000 since that is the rom you are running.
thanks today i'll try now i have to gooo
thaaaaaankz
NO, the 1.66 rom comes with the 1.42 SPL, flash that.

no, it doesn't. But it doesnt matter, they will both work.
ok.. i use the hspl2 loading 1.42.0000 and reflashing the original ITA 1.66 radio-rom..
so
it's all ok now for the factory standard staatus??
want to re-have my perfect BIG displays..
can i send it so done, in assistance?
in the image you can see (+or-) the end boot loader result..
thankz again guys
then i'm thinking to keep the original rom just tweaked with cookie's super add-onS and somethings else,preventing any problems...
yea thats fine.
ok.... i have finally got my hd2 2 the point where im happy with all apps and mods ect ect... however i am lookin 4 a way 2 restore it 2 the exact original i got out of the box... i mean everything restored... reg entrys... rom... spl... ect ect as i have changed and rechanged everything so many times i think i have a few bugs.... so my plan is 2 restore everything and set it to how i have it now in 1 go so i dont ''piss it off'' in random changes... my specs are below in my signature which look pretty standard but i have done many registry tweaks and installed many applications which i have chopped and changed many times... also tried to install duttys rom many times but that kept failing and hspl would never install so that could maybe be a small factor in the few bugs i have... the main bugs are to do with random freezing here and there... battery drain... and overall performance... im aware some of this is due to the apps i have installed but i had a very simmilar setup a short while ago and this worked fine... but as im never happy with what i have i messed around a lil more and here i am... so any advice would be grately aprieciated... and if any software is required could u possibly post the links....??? many thanks in advance... luke

So what happened? Could you spl to factory one?
Is there a way to get the stock .img file off the sd card? or is it not on it from htc/tmobile??
