First remove the 'HardSPL',after that flash to official IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) and then you can easily reflash and revert back to the official rom.Check out the Sticky posted in G4 forum 'How to remove HardSPL',you'll find all the instructions and files in this wonderful guide.
First of All I want to thank everybody in this forum I've learned a LOT from you guys..
I have a question though.. does flashing a SHIPPED ROM (not a DUMPED ROM) after CID-unlocking the device with HardSPL causes the device to brick??
In other words.. does a shipped ROM contain SPL?? cause I read that HardSPL cannot be overwritten so that may brick the device..
Sorry if that question has been answered before.. I tried the WIKI but I couldn't get a definite answer..
Thanks in advance..

All shipped ROMs contain an SPL.
If you have a Hard SPL it will not allow flashing of ROMs with built-in SPLs. That's the point of it being called a HARD SPL.
If you have the USPL instead of Hard SPL it will allow flashing of ROMs with built-in SPLs (but not safe).
If you don't have any USPL/Hard SPL, but just the stock SPL and you use the white screen method instead to flash, it's even less safer AND NOT RECOMMENDED.. because, if you brick your device you won't be able to flash anything from Bootloader since you only have the original SPL.
The white screen method is only used to flash the USPL or Hard SPL. If you have a Hard SPL, the white screen method is the only way to downgrade to another SPL.
You can remove the SPL from the shipped ROM though.. (i.e. use NBHextract.exe to grab all the components then rebuild just the OS.nb with HTC ROM Tool).
For more questions, just search or post in the correct thread.
thnx dsixda.. u r the best
can someone add the bloody response from dsixda to the roll up thread or something?? maybe it will save sometime for the n00bs (and for the rest of us too).
good day sir...
so by using this (i.e. use NBHextract.exe to grab all the components then rebuild just the OS.nb with HTC ROM Tool) is the safest way to downgrade lets say from WM 6.5 to WM 6 ?
I'm downloading this file:
RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1B_4.1.13.51_03.0 7.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
Device: ELF0100*0
CID: DOPOD001
Version: 2.20.707.1B
Language: USA
for my:
Touch version : Elfin
Device ID : ELF010050
CID : DOPOD001
IPL : 3.10.0002
SPL : 3.10.0000
I used NBHextract.exe to extract the files to make ROM my question is should I add the ext_ROM or just the OS coz If I want to revert back to its original state I can flash it with this "original" OS.
-by the way what OS version is this : RUU_Elfin_DOPODASIA_WWE_2.20.707.1B_4.1.13.51_03.0 7.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
WM 6.0 or WM 6.1? thanks
Hi gents
I havnt played with a WinMo phone since I had a Motorola Windows Mobile 2003 phone.
I have a UK O2 Branded HTC HD2, currently with ROM 1.43.206.4 WWE and Radio 2.04.50.22.2
I have ran HSPL ready for any cooked ROMs i might fancy
However, I am wondering if it is possibly to backup the current O2 rom incase i need to go back to it..restoring it to facotry settings if you will.
Is this possible?
Also, will an official ROM update both rom and radio and anything else ?
Thanks alot !
Hello,
As far as I am aware you can't backup a rom in the way I think you mean, ie if it all goes pear shaped you would like to restore the o2 rom from scratch.
If you search around (look in the wiki, not been there for a while) you might find an o2 rom in the repository. If so then you can copy it somewhere ready for if/when you need to "burn" it back in.
Unless you have a particular reason or lurve for the o2 rom you could just use the standard HTC rom if ever you needed to go back to a stock rom.
I take it you have read the threads on here about using roms, etc?

Answer to your other questions: an official rom will update rom and radio. However if you use Bepe's SPL method then that only updates the rom (his method is good for updating cooked roms).
You can also use the goldcard method to update official roms and radio's only Or go onto HTC's site and do it from there). Best bet is to go and have a really good read of these threads and get to thoroughly understand the subject matter including the risks!.

I have a brand new XDA orbit 2, which is offered with a warranty by the supplier.
I put the O2 official WM6.1 upgrade on it (RUU_Polaris_O2_UK_3.13.206.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe) which flashed fine.
I intend to try one or more of the many great sounding WM 6.5 rom images, however, I have a few questions, mainly related to SPL/HardSPL, which although I have done a bit of searching for, have not found definitive answers for ...
Are there any differences between POLA100 and POLA200 devices (will HardSPL work fine on my XDA Orbit 2 / POLA200).
How can I restore the original SPL on the device?
Can I extract the original SPL from a) the device, b) the ROM image, c) source elsewhere?
With HardSPL installed can I reinstall the official upgrade rom with HardSPL still in place (in case of stability problems, with rom images).
Also - anything else I should be thinking about before flashing this device (note I am going deactivate copilot before flashing)?
Apologies if I missed the answers in other posts!
TIA

3. don´t think so
4. now problem...but after you flashed original rom

Have fun
Thanks for the reply... Sorry to be slow, but...
>1. yes...main difference is touch cruise...polaris 100...o2 oribit 2 polaris 200
Is that significant technically, which is what I did not say very well?
>2.yes you can...flash original spl
>3. don´t think so
How do you flash the original SPL then (I am v. newb!)? I don't have that (other than on the device itself).
>4. now problem...but after you flashed original rom
The original rom has been flashed (over) with the official update, I am not really getting the point here? Do you mean my orignal O2 uk WM 6.0 or the original referenced from your thread (RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship)?
Thanks for the pointer to you rom thread which looks very useful (I am from UK BTW)
Thanks again
