Hard spl 7 downgrade

i was spl1.04 orginal and i upgraded hard spl7,
however i've check by mtty that i'm not sure supper CID yet, so i follow here instruction to become supper CID but fail.
I've download the file and put sspl in herm200 and run autoupdate, it prompt load fail.
But result i've got my spl become spl1.40olipro ???
i am just confuse that what spl i am. Do i still hard spl? if i want upgrade to hard spl 7 , do i need to back to spl mfg ->spl 1.04 ->hard spl 7?
can i spl1.40olipro->hard spl 7?

SSPL was probably your misstep.
At this point just re-flash the latest Hard-SPL and you should be fine. You'll have SPL 2.10.Olipro also be "SuperCID" without actually changing your CID.
THEN, quit hacking around and do some reading before you make your next move.

thanks that i am back to hard spl 7 now.

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.

Did you perform a hard reset after flashing the ROM?

Edit: And this post makes me a senior member - woohoo!

Here is how I do I install rom always full of the same problem
Olinex I install 1.56 and then the official 1.56 rom 2009

The picture you supply isn't from the official 1.56 HTC ROM because it is running Windows mobile 6.5 (I can tell from the user interface). The official ROM uses Windows Mobile 6.1.
I think you need to make sure that you flashed the correct ROM and then flash the device again. After doing this make sure you hard reset afterwards at least once, preferably twice by holding down both volume buttons while powering the device on.
Also unless you have a CID locked phone that is branded eg. Orange, you shouldn't have to use Olinex HSPL and can download the official ROM from here:
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
In any case you should confirm which SPL you have by holding down the lower volume button while booting (it will tell you either SPL or HSPL along with version number).
Let us know how you get on...
G

HSPL 156 OliNex and htc is a factory not orange or other

Okay, it sounds like you have successfully installed HSPL, but now you need to try flashing the ROM again (it appears to be the ROM that is causing the graphic corruption in your picture).
Make sure you perform two hard resets after flashing and hopefully this should solve your problem...
Cheers,
G
P.S. Make sure you back everything up prior to re-flashing as you will lose everything in phone memory (SD card should not be affected, but my advise would be to remove it anyway until you have re-flashed).

HTC Touch not booting after trying CID unlock

i have rogers htc touch, after trying unlocking using ELF USPL , when i power on only see HTC Logo and then it goes off, i try loading new rom but still same problem . Please help

What is your IPL and SPL?

IPL is 2.21.0002
and
SPL 1.11.0000

I had the same problem...took me 3 hours to figure it out..
1. on Bootloader, re-install a ROM that works (go back to WM6 or WM6.1)
2. when it working, install USLP 1.11
3. DO NOT RESET AFTER...
4. install USLP 3.14
5. then you can install any WM6.5 ROM
For some reasons, the Rogers Touch has some difficulties to upgrade directly, even if it's unlocked...
Good luck
Michel

Thats a great tip to the community, I will refer back to your guide if I met with anyone with troubles using Rogers.

...thanks...
But, after reading a lot yesterday, seems that the USLP 3.14 is a ''battery eater''...
I'm testing it now..I will see in a couple of days if it is the case!
So far, it looks like it's using approx 2% of the battery per hour...

Definitely, you should always use 3.10.
I had a bad experience with 3.14, it takes up half of my battery after 5 hours of almost no usage.

i'm confused. .... i also have a rogers htc touch as well and i want to flash a custom rom onto it.
(my IPL: 2.21.0002 and SPL: 2.21.0000)
First, i know it has to be CID unlocked... using >> Elf 1.11 USPL ?
Can i use HARDspl ?? What is the difference between USPL and Hard uspl ??
Because i read something about ..... " HardSPL : This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. "
After a CID unlock and soft reset, the phone will reboot into the old ROM (Rogers, in my case) if i have not began flashing a new rom ??
Some advice please... thanks!

Use the guide written on 4th post.
Its located on this thread
Cheers.

[SOLVED] Stuck with MFG SPL 2.02/2.03 from Test Rom [SOLVED]

Hello,
I accidentally flashed a Test ROM w/ an MFG SPL (Leo_1_5_TMOUS_2.03.531.6_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.50.23_3_Test) and meant to flash 2.13 shipped rom and now I am stuck with 2.02/2.03.0000 Engineering SPL and can't seem to flash any official/shipped roms to get back to 2.08/2.10 spl..
In other words how can I flash an SPL that is compatible with HSPL3 Utility..
(SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.000)
Please help!
Thanks.

Solution Found!

If this helped you out of SPL 2.02 please remember to thank these guys for working this out.
Info about MFG SPL:
Why can't I change the SPL with these test ROMs?
- These stock ROMs have an MFG SPL which cannot be overwritten in any way, not by flashing stock ROMs from SD, HSPL utility, SSPL or goldcard. The only successful way has been to drop the SPL with mtty (and has only been done once or twice).
- Good new is you can still use your HD2 and switch between 2.02 and 2.03 test ROMs..
What is an MFG SPL?
- MFG SPL = Engineering SPL
xmoo said:
Guys, MFG SPL allowes you to use some extra commands using JTAG which you wouldn't be able to use on normal SPL.
I remmeber back in the days there was this user "Leoni" who was stuck on 0.67MFG SPL.
Comonex helped him dropping it. I tried to contact him several times for you guys.
But he never responded back to me.
So spam pm him

this happened to several people some months ago.
goldcard may work, yes, but if not then sspl should get you flashing roms, but you can't change radio with sspl.
look for thread started by xmoo around february or march.

I thought I had tried sspl.. could I have done it wrong?
I found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606713
I put the shipped 2.13 (also tried 2.05, 2.07, 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 stock and test roms) rom nbh from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655653 in a folder with the SSPL.exe and then run .exe but the progress bar stays at 0%
I also tried creating a goldcard, but not quite sure how it works. do I put an nbh on the card with it and boot from sd? or use CustomRUU?
The only ones I can flash back and forth are 2.02 and 2.03 test roms. I'm so annoyed!
Thanks

Nevermind the device wont even turn on anymore

2.02 is a MFG SPL.
Engeniering SPL. You have to drop it using mtty (but if you do it the wrong way, you may brick ur phone!)
Someone flashed 2.10.0 with sspl and sent it back for warrenty. When it came back it had 2.13 with SPL 2.10 on it....

Well for some reason I tried flashing to the 1.01 test from the 1.03 to see if it would change from the MFG spl and I wasn't really paying attention to the progress bar but when I looked back it said (on PC) "ROM Update sucessful" but the phone didn't boot and won't even charge now?
What happened? and can I still send it in for warrenty?
Thanks for the help!

Well if the phone isn't powering on, they probably can't check the spl...
So mayb yes. There are some other people who have done the same ish, and returned there phone. Ask them first.

I am badly looknig for an MFG SPL.
Can someone point me where this is located pls? thanks!
Sry. please ignore my questions, I asked too fast...

Even MTTY does not remove the SPL 2.02.0000
Any solution for this yet? The test ROMs 201 to 209 are not intended for the TMOUS devices there for it is making it hard to remove the watermarked SPL.

I recontructed the ROM without the watermark but it will not install on the device. Anyone has an idea of how to remove the watermark? The SPL used form that ROM is the cause of the block...

Anymore thoughts on this issue?
I bought an eBay "for parts only" HD2 that the seller said sometimes booted into windows 6.5 but most of the time froze at the stick-together screen and never fully booted. Sounded maybe fixable to me, so I took a chance on it. I've never seen it try to boot into winmo 6.5 and when I check the bootloader info I see this:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.02.0000 XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(Touch) 0x50
The SPL-2.02.0000 was how I found this page. I've read many other pages about HSPL3 etc., but this phone is not recognized at all by two different WinXP machines w/ActiveSync. I don't get any messages regarding Qualcomm or anything like that. It's as if it isn't plugged in except the charge light does go on.
The only thing I can do is flash from the MicroSD card. But, haven't found any other ROMS other than the one that is on it already, that will actually flash. The others get stuck at a white screen that says Loading... and it just hangs there.
When the phone powers up it shows:
R 2.06.50.23......3 (the ...... is actually a squiggly looking line, not actually dots)
G 15.30.50.07u
D 2.03.75592 8G
then it just hangs there forever and goes into what looks like a screensaver mode (parts of the screen get darker and the stick together moves around as well).
If it's dead/bricked, what part inside would need replacing to get it running again (i.e. the motherboard)? This phone looks brand new. It's it fantastic condition. I've seen terrible looking HD2s on eBay that still work. So, I'm curious if there is something I could take out of an ugly phone and swap into this pristine HD2 and have it work.
As I see it, my only other options are to contact HTC and find out what they charge to repair it, or sell it for parts - again.

Since last post have discovered if I manually put phone into bootloader mode then plug it in via USB to my PC I hear the confirmation from the PC that the device is plugged in. Activesync does not fire up, but bootloader changes from serial mode to USB mode. I can start the ROM update utility, the black htc screen with 0% shows on the phone but eventually times out with an error [262] that the recovery process doesn't fix.

The person who owned that previously probably did the same thing I did and flashed one of the test roms with MFG SPL (2.02 or 2.03) Just don't try to flash 2.01, it'll most likely brick it. tomorrow the unbricking attempt on my device will begin.. but I guess you have to drop the SPL using mtty. talk to xmoo

I'll be very interested to read how your unbrick attempt turns out. I tried the MTTY instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=668347
But, that post starts out saying "Before you start one note, this method only works if you succesfully flashed HSPL", which of course my HD2 does not have. Mine used to have 2.02.0000, but after many different tries at a fix - now has 2.00.1000. This is no better a situation to be in as it never gets past the "stick together" screen either.
I tried the create a goldcard.img info found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
However, the directions for QMAT are outdated. But, I did download the new PSAS software offered at the site linked to in the above post and believe I got my 1GB MicroSD card's serial number but when I tried to "generate HTC goldcard" for Leo it gives a message that says "Goldcard for newer devices isn't implemented in this unregistered version" and it looks like it cost 30Euros to register. I'd pay if I knew for a fact this was going to work. But, I have my doubts because in step 2 you need to change the security permissions policies on the HD2. I have no access to the registry since there is no activesync connection possible at this point and I can't launch any programs like PHM.
The fix (if there is one even possible) has to come completely from the SD card as far as I can tell.
Good luck with yours! I hope something works and you come back here and post the sequence.

that part is only necessary to find the ID No. of the sd card. If you can get access to a working WM phone for a few minutes, you can use the other device to find the ID No.
There are alternate ways to get the ID, such as a linux boot disk on a laptop that has a built in SD card slot, but the slot must be directly mounted on the computers PCI bus, if it runs through a usb header it will give you the ID of teh USB header and not the card.

I'm trying to find a way for HSPL3.exe to disable the SPL version check.
This way you can directly flash other HSPL versions....

Thanks for looking into this..
