Shift Project Release: SSPL and HardSPL - the way to custom ROMs and more!

so here we proudly present the HardSPL flash package
well, what this is good for - this enables flashing of custom roms (I try to explain only because I know many Shift owners here don't own other HTC devices).
SSPL and RUU patches have been made mostly by me, HSPL and package compilation have been made mostly by Olipro, so both are branded OliNex.
Please read and follow all instructions very carefully.
this has been tested (thanks thaihugo, et al.), but if you have problems then do let us know in this thread.
also, TO EVERYONE WHO BETA TESTED in the past: please do download this final version. it will flash an updated HardSPL to your device.
prerequisite: "liberated" Shift (i.e. has the usbtool on Snapvue side!).
[size=+1]STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:[/size]
1. Download the package from attachment in this post and extract the files from the zip somewhere on Vista.
2. Install the EnableRapi.cab file from the zip on Snapvue side. (of course do unzip in Vista first.)
3. Make sure Shift is on AC adapter and that the WMDC in Vista sees the Snapvue side!!! (use usbtool to turn USB on in Snapvue if necessary.)
4. Run the ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe on Vista. if you do not have UAC disabled, then please run it as Administrator!!!
5. It should pop up two cmd windows for a second. then it will pop up a box saying "Processing". at this point please check if Snapvue side went into black screen. if yes, then everything is OK so far, so press OK in the "Processing" messagebox.
6. After some more wait (and two more cmd windows - please allow them to run if Vista asks!), the Romupdateutility will launch automatically. Please press Next and so on, until it flashes the update.
7. The RUU should say success, and should hard reset the device. at this point your Shift has been HardSPL'ed - Congratulations!!!
TroubleShooting:
- if Vista errors out on pput.exe after step 4, make sure you launched the ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe as Administrator: right click on EXE and select "run as Administrator" option.
- if at step 5, you don't have black screen, the device might be asking you to allow to run a program on the Snapvue side. click Yes if prompted!
- if after step 5 the next cmd gets stuck at some USB disabling message, let us know. (it shouldn't get stuck but just in case.)
- if you wish to check it is really HardSPL'd now, use mtty and use info 2 command in it. it should return HTCS00000000something which means it is (fake) supercid and is HardSPL.
NOTE: never use the RUU from this SSPL package for anything else! this is special and is strictly for the HardSPL process.
to just flash ROMs after you installed HardSPL, you can use the original RUU or CustomRUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2098895#post2098895
also, first Custom ROM with GPS and with some tweaks/customizations (will also be liberated out of the box!) is to follow sometime this week. along with a radio Security/CID unlocker (patched radio image). then voice and maybe WVGA screen is to follow not much later.
you of course must have this HardSPL installed, or the ROMs will not flash!
enjoy

Let me be the first to say on behalf of us here:
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL HAIL CMONEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks you and all others in Shift Project

Wouhou !
Thanks !!! great news

I have a Traditional Chinese Version of shift. I followed the instruction to install EnableRapi.cab in WM6 side, then run shiftHardSPLFinal.exe, screen blanked.
On the Vista a CMD pop up said: "USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 isabled."
then won't continue.
Any help, please?

Nice !! Can't wait to use the built-in GPS on the SnapVue side..
Finally I can run PocketReperion so I can find my shift back if it's stolen.
....voice...to follow later....serious... Cmonex, if you had to put a percentage of chance that we will get Voice working, what would the percentage be ?? 50%-50% ?

Thanks Guys, appreciated!

after done this thing, is it possible to make voice call from Shift? sorry about that question, as I dont have much knowleague about rom and flash

noup. this will allow you to place the hacked rom (the hacked rom is still to be released) that would enable these features... and this without having the phone detect the "hack".
this is a way of telling it..

oh, chinese shift... is the OS in all chinese? and the WM side?
anyway, that should not be a problem... if it still won't go on, press Ctrl+C to cancel this cmd, another will pop up, cancel that too, then the RUU will pop up. at this point, put vista to hibernate (don't try to shut down for now, it will make it harder to get it working that way). wait a few secs after it hibernated, wake up vista, then go on with the RUU.
btw if this is first time being in bootloader, it might first want to install drivers at this point. let it install them, then feel free to continue in the RUU.
another way to deal with the issue: shut down vista and remove battery. reinstall battery, boot both vista and snapvue, then start the process from step 1 again. battery removal and fresh boot of vista afterwards can help a lot with usb.

hey
IIRC you have the beta hardSPL flashed, yes? I recommend updating it with this final one (only difference is this has overwrite protection while the beta did not - because of that, you can also update the beta one by using CustomRUU and the RUU_Signed.NBH from the final package after it extracts.)
as for voice, chances are a bit better I think.

congratulations Guys Congratulations Its The Only I Had To Say...​

I Need Help....

yes it performs a hard reset.
don't despair, soon you can flash liberated rom and then you can forget about how to do manual liberation

Hello and thanks for SSPL & HardSPL!!
I'm wondering how to build these custom ROMs..?
Are you dumping the ROM from TytnII/Kaiser and edit until the ROM is small enough? Is any Software out there to edit the Filesystem from dumped ROMs?
Many weeks ago i've heard about a ROM that supports GPS - why didn't you release it with the bundle? Any Bugs?

no, not using a kaiser ROM. but you can dump the ROM from Shift in the same way as Kaiser, I think pof also posted about this before. also we have some HTC rom updates, will try to upload them to crapidshare or something soon.
the current rom base with the GPS has an issue so we are porting the GPS to a newer rom base then release that.
as for rom editor tools, a kaiser kitchen with the rom base changed to a shift rom, will work. i.e. the rom tools from kaiser kitchen are compatible.

Shift display has gone blank
Hi help is needed here, I followed installation instruction and obtained USB\ROOT_HUB\4&188A10ED&0 disabled. I've now got shift working, will try again. Thanks.

Wow, good work!
Are there already any custom Shift ROMs out there..?

try after removing battery, and with freshly booted vista and snapvue.
make sure the WMDC is running with USB enabled in it. that seems to help.
if nothing else helps, then when you get to that disabled message, and it doesn't move after maybe 2 minutes, Ctrl+C, etc., then hibernate vista etc. (as described above).
EDIT: ah I see you added: problem solved. what was the exact way to solve it?

'Start' batch file does nothing.
Tried opening it directly from a command prompt, but still nothing, except it opens another dos box.
Thoughts ?

The 'start' batch file fails because the first command is 'cd RUU'. but there is not a folder called RUU.
Then it tries to rename two files which also do not exist. Hence it never actually arrives at the exe file to unlock & install the ROM.
Can this work if you simply run the exe file without renaming & changing folders ?

Hi, and thanks for that script...
The .bat works well for me but while updating the rom, I've got an 270 error... 'The images files is corrupted please check your update utility'
does any one had the same issue on his phone? Do you think I just need to download it again? (concidering that the zip file uncompressed normaly, I assume it works well...)
Thanks for your answers...

upgrading MDA Touch
please i need your Help.
I have download the" touch essential V3.5 Manilla" on my PC. But i don´t know how to send it to my MDA.
Activsyc is working.
Where kann i fine the cert_CAB?
I have also unpacked the V3.5 manilla, but there is no way to run it in the MDA how should i do this.
many thanks

My 2 cents...
If I were you I wouldn't rely on a torrent posted by a junior member (age 12) and rather download the ROM posted by Football on Rapidshare => See his post HERE <=.
I've been using it from day 1 without any problem...

gruikdadude...
gruikdadude... I understand were you are coming from but I have been very carefull on what i look for and actually this torrent file was uploaded by someone on xda developers so i am saying the update worked fine for me so why shouldnt it for you so before you start criticising a me for posting something that is just to assure htc touch owners that there is a reliable WM6.1 upgrade is there anything wrong with this......... NO!!! so before you criticise think twice !!!bell end!!!

Can you plz. give us link for zip file instead of the ttornet one
thanks in advance

can you tell me the diffrences between this rom and the original 6,1 rom? i see no manilla2d, but more differences?

hi i tried the whole procedure , but i get the ERROR[270]: Image file is currupted, can anyone help regarding this error, how to get the uncurrupted version?

Since this rom is giving a lot of people problems, why not just use one of the verified good roms from the Elf Upgrading subforum?

ma_upgrade doesnt work

Hello,
i tried to flash my blueangel to Windows Mobile 6 Build 20758, following the instructions in the wiki.
Now i have a problem with flashing the device. I downloaded the rom from the wiki-page (Version 3.02 without ramdisk) and extracted it to the directory where MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (version 1.32) is. MDA III is cradled and in Boot Loader Mode (USB displayed). But the device couldnt be recognized ( screenshot and i cant do the upgrade.
i carefully followed the instructions from the wiki.
What i am doing wrong ?

Maybe your rom not's good ?

just click the next button... and see what happens next..
cheers
evo

as long i upgrade or reflash any type of BA ROM (wm5,wm6,wm6.1) it did not show my current device version, usually when you through this option there is nothing wrong just klick upgrade and your device will flash.

So far i know, u dunt have required HTC RUU files. The 20758 package has only nk.nbf file and no RUU
go to buzzdev downloads on buzzdev.net(u need a username for that) download the wm2005 upgrade from there. Extract it. then replace the nk.nbf with the wm6.1.20758 one. just run BAUpgradeUT.exe and u will go fine
remember to put your phone to bootloader mode by press [record]+[on/off] then reset.
if the error says: connection error. Take out the Mem Card and I recommend you should take out the sim card too. Also ensure that your battery is charged more than 50%
Edit: BLUE ANGEL MODS! Please upload the cracked BA RUU on the wiki or stiky it at the forum. coz usually roms posted here dont come with the RUU

[Q] Update windows7 7592 to latest rom on HD2?

Hello people!
I've been working with windows 7 7592 on my HTC HD2 for some time now and i really want to keep windows 7. I can't seem to find a way to update from 7592 to 7720, does anyone know of any ?
Leo

you'll have to download first the wanted update cab from xbosmod/sylvester's page and send it to your phone with the help of update cab sender from the same guys

Hey, thanx for the quick reply florin_stann!
I tried googleling xbosmod/sylvester but i found nothing, can you be more specific on were i should go to download the rom?

which ROM you have? author (which cooker not version)
only Yuki ROM can update with CAB files.... for other ROM's you must flashing from beginning

Hmm, all i see here is OS Version: 7592.WM7_Main(mojobld).20110308-1514.
Does that help?

did you can send CAB files to phone? if you can, this is Yuki (BTTF) ROM.... but maybe is better to try change to other ROM.... only one warning... if your ROM is Yuki, then your sdcard is locked... you must first unlock it with sending unlock CAB file to phone and then format it before install new ROM....
i recommended this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833

I could send cab files through a Microsoft developer tool, and my sdcard is not locked.
I will try the rom you recommended, thatk you for the reply dxdy!
Will let you know if i come up with results.
Leo

Why is everything so complicated!!
Ok my friend, i allready have Magldr v1.13 and windows 7592.
On your tutorial you write:
- when you turn on phone press and hold power button to boot direct to MAGLDR:
* go to 5. USB Flasher and run ENG_DWI.exe to flash ROM (or TR_DWI.exe. ENG is installer in English, TR is Turkish)
- after flashing process done, and when show Main screen with Tiles, do hard reset (Settings - About - reset my phone)
- you are done... ignore next steps
Got two questions on that.
I downloaded 3_HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_mango_7.10.8107.79_v7.3.rar but there's no ENG_DWI.exe in the file..
How does it install windows 7 8107 just by hard resetting ?
I feel like a pain in the neck, sorry for that, if things get more complicated i'll try to find another way or just stay with 7592.

I flashed sdcard, went to usb mode but DWI.exe wont regognise the usb connection..

one time file is named ENG_DWI.exe.... totally not important how is named, DWI.exe or ENG_DWI.exe.. is same file..
did in USB mode in MAGLDR recognize USB?

Dxdy!!
It worked! Running on windows 7 8107!
Thank you for your tips, be well

Dude.. I've had this phone for what.. 3 years now?
It still feels new!
Everything works.. marketplace works, speech works, everything.
Only thing there is no alphabet with the apps, but that's fine, i'm sure i'll find something somewhere.
Thanx again dxdy!
