-bad NAND can be recovered with "task 2a"
-bad NAND can be recovered by flashing an OS.nb
-SPL protected from all HTC retail SPLs being flashed by accident (to bypass, use SSPL)
-bad NAND can again be checked for with "info 8"
-version displays 1.30.Olipro
[b]Version 1.30:[/b]
-Fixed SPL protection bug
-rtask commands enabled
-based on an MFG SPL

it might be possible, that's something for future thought though, if it can be done, then I will.

yep, that's exactly it, once you have Hard-SPL, there's no need to bother with CustomRUU any more.

Great job man!!! Thanx a lot!
ps. lnb command was missed( It's too nessesary for me...I need often to reflash roms (via mtty it takse about 3 min)
How can i return original spl to make 1.01 MFG from it? Or can i make unlock procedure with your spl? Just want to know, coz i don't want to get bricked device.

im talking about mfg spl for trinity. i see you don't know anything of it.
when i used imeicheck unlocker i got this spl.
and i use lnb command to flash os.nb via mtty.
i have only one question how to return original spl? just flash whole original rom?
btw, my battery drains very quick with your hard spl.

Takes the same time to flash an OS in NBH with non-MFG bootloaders if you put only an OS in the NBH file.

If you run imie-check's unlocker again you'll have 1.01 again, but this will remove HardSPL from your phone.

Put the SPL you want to load in a NBH file (header type 0x200 for trinity SPL) and flash it using SSPL, this will overwrite Hard-SPL.
If you flash from bootloader Hard-SPL will not be overwritten.

As oli said, this is non-sense... will drain the same with retail's HTC 1.07 spl.

pof, thanx a lot for your reply and help.
just knew a litle about spl's...
@Olipro
thanx for your job once more. my comments were really stupid, sorry

On contrary, 1.01 MFG is likely to be drawing more power, successors are better optimized for power conservation.

What would I need this for?
I'm really baffled. I've got my device SIM and CID unlocked, thanks to pof, and installed the latest HTC Rom...
But what is all this for?
Would appreciate it if someone could explain.
Thanks in advance.

well, mainly to allow you to flash unsigned ROMs to the device without Soft-SPL. and secondly to allow you to recover the device if anything gets ****ed up during a flash... such as the radio, or the OS.

Thanks Olipro for your efforts, very nice one!

Thanks Olipro.
Can I just download the file and just install it? Will it change anything on my device? Bearing in mind that my device is CID unlocked.
Thanks

there are several tools that will end up by giving you what you want but you must build the RUU yourself.
HOW:
Get an RUU with the IPL/SPL version you want (be carefull with the G3/G4 difference!!!!)
Extract the nk.nbf from the updater and then extract the chunks (you can use my tool or typho5.exe)
Get nb2nbf_tornado.exe and make your own nk.nbf with IPL/SPL only
Pack it again inside an RUU updater and use it to flash
That's it
cheers
PS:
Use the search to feature to learn about "nb2nbf_tornado.exe"

Or you could flash the lowest T-mobile rom you can find, it should put you back to 1.08 or something like that!!! When i have to downgrade i always get these!!! Then you just upgrade your OS again to what you want and there you go!
I have a HTC Wizard G3. Can I use Button Wizard ROM's SPL/IPL?
I used nb2nbf_wizard.exe to make what's in the attached picture. Does it look correct?
Also, I have nb2nbf_tornado.exe & nb2nbf_wizard.exe...are they the same thing. There both v2.02.

When using your Wizard Service Tool, if i do Read ROM-->SPL...will this also read the IPL as well??
I want to know so I can just do a Write ROM---->SPL to restore both after I downgrade to SPL/IPL 1.xx.

no it doesn't. aWizard is based on same apps as my tool; in fact aWizard is where i got my inspiration from (thanks ahlok_hk )
as i told before, only using mtty and boot loader commands to make a full backup to the SD card, but for that the phone must be CID unlocked
But IPL/SPL are generic so you just grab a RUU updater with same IPL/SPL as yours and you'll have your backup
I extracted these from a OEM Cingular ROM. What are the differences between both sets of SPL/IPL's??
When restoring my SPL/IPL, which set should i use?
Okay, this is where you got to be careful since a pair is for G3 (IPL_1) and the other is for G4 (IPL_2). You don't see it in 1.x ROMs since there were no G4 devices then

The HARD-SPL is a little more dangerous than the USPL... I can help you find ways to get any ROM you want on that phone easily enough, but UNLOCKING it again is the hard part. There's not 100% sure fire SAFE way of doing it.
welll, i just installed the hard-spl on my device and it went through
there's just one thing that gets me...
what's the difference with this hard-spl and HTC?
is the only difference is that the boot screen is different or are there more features?
For now, I just need a comparision of what the hard-spl has from the HTC one.
The Hard-SPL is a customer SPL. It's permanent, too. You will have to create your own customized RUU from now on, one that lacks the SPL. You can't flash RUU's that contain SPL because the SPL is now write protected. It's convinient, though, because now you can't accidently screw it up. (It's safe once you have it IN your device. Too many people brick their phones trying to get it in there in the first place, though.)
So now i won't be able to put in the HTC RUU anymore?
All right, sorry i'm being so stupid, but here's another question...
You said that i now have to make my own customized RUUs?
What do you mean by that?
If you don't mind, you could send me a pm, I don't want to spam this thread with my stupidity.
Now you can flash ANY rom you want.
ALL cooked ROms - really all - without the chance of bricking = your device is SAFE.
IF you respect this little thing
every RUU Rom Update Utility
contains:
1. Enterbootloader.exe
2. Rapitool.exe
3. RomupgradeUtility.exe (the one you start)
4. RUUGetinfo.exe
5. RUU ressource.dll
6. RUU_signed.nbh (that is the custom system OS - you can put every HERALD .nbh here postet in touchIT3 for example)
7. SPL.nbh ---- !!!!!!!! delete this allways!!!!!!!!! ------ (it is in all official RUU but delete it)
now you can flash with an official update tool all custom roms for you herald.
But donĀ“t use wing roms - the keyboadmapping is different.
There are good herald roms, too.
Good luck

IPL and SPL that don't match

I started a new thread so that people wouldn't have to read through my trials but long story short I have a G3 wizard and I'm trying to flash it. Followed all of the steps in the guide by vippie. I used the button rom to start with but mine was one of the many that stopped at 98% and gave me error 302 so I ended up using the XDA mini rom as the alternative that was suggested.
Now I've flashed my phone three times with the same rom to try and get the IPL and SPL the same but to no avail. The IPL and SPL are 1.05 and 2.25 respectively. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey i flashed my tmobile mda to a chinese rom too and then it changed spl to a diff version than the ipl and then i tried to flashed it with love rom and still it doesnt change the ipl and spl to the same version that i had before, then i removed the battery then my phone does not charge or turn on anymore, i have a g4 by the way, i m not sure if i bricked it or not

Surely you're not serious? oh Jesus, you are.
OK... SPL is separate from IPL, not only is it impossible to get them to be "the same version" it would also achieve nothing to actually do so either... so please, the procedure is very simple, you flash a patched SPL, you flash your crap on.

Well that seems logical however I was misinformed. SO I've flashed this Xda_mini rom, then what is the cause of the issues I was having getting a connection error when trying to CID unlock? Wizards have to be CID unlocked before flashing 2.X roms right?

A LOT of people are reporting failed downgrades which 'block' the SPL at 2.xx. Once there even after 30 flashes the SPL never lowers to 1.xx to allow CID unlocking.

So what is the solution or is it the patched SPL that Olipro is referring to?
The HardSPL (Olipro) is ONLY for use with G4. The flash program should keep you from flashing it to a G3 Wizard because their SPL code are not compatible.
SoftSPL also doesn't work for G3 wizard.
joco2560 should be produced a brick because as I know, no unofficial Chinese ROMs are equipped with G4 IPL and SPL.
Man if only these guys would have read the WIKI... There is a link in my signature to an outstanding tutorial for newbies. Just read it and you will feel enlightened. Everything will seem so simple and life's purpose will become evident... Just Kidding but seriously guys... Read the damn WIKI... I'm tired of reading about bricks.

Okay, firstly I have not bricked my device. I have read all of the guides and walkthroughs before attempting anything on my wizard. Unfortunately your guide that you have written, just like the other ones, has not answered my question or told me what I should do (unless I have missed it somewhere which is possible).
Okay, after some finagling with the lokiwiz application I managed to unlock and then cid unlock my phone however the IPL is still 1.05 and the SPL is 2.25. Is that accurate or should the SPL be lower now? Do I need to reflash?
Alright, after re-re-re-re-re-reading the instructions I think I understand the bit about IPL and SPL. I think. Feel free to clarify though.
If lokiwiz does not show any errors during unlocking (NOTE That lokiwiz always shows successful regardless it is actually unlocked or not, so the error message is the most important), then either try to flash Button's ROM again and you will get 1.05 IPL and SPL (That's my way), and others suggests to upgrade IPL and SPL directly to 3.08.

There was no error message when I CID unlocked. It successfully unlocked both times (the first using the U command and after a restart using the C command). My phone restarted twice during the unlocking so I think it went just fine. So should I proceed with the flashing of the tmobile rom? After the unlocking I have an IPL of 1.05 and an SPL of 2.25.
You can always go back to Button's ROM, so it's OK to flash T-Mobile ROM.
However I still recommend to flash Button's ROM once more first.

Yes you should now be CID unlocked and can flash any Rom you want as long as it does not contain an IPL/SPL.
And by the way, It does tell you in that WIKI exactly what you need to do to CID unlock your device. (The SPL will not downgrade to 1.05 unless you flash the button Rom again AFTER completing The Unlocking Process through lokiwiz. I wouldn't even reccomend flashing the button Rom again. It's pointless because Flashing the T-Mobile Rom is going to upgrade you IPL/SPL to a higher, matching pair and is going to give you a very strong, stable base rom to flash to a custom Rom From.

I think you should check your CID status with WST before trying to flash a custom ROM. Lokiwiz doesn't check for errors and proceeds as if everything went ok even if it didn't.
For all we know your phone might be originally from T-Mobile and even CID locked would always accept an official ROM.

[Q]SoftSPL

I've been reading the wiki, but either it was not clear enough or i am dumb enough (^^)
can anyone pls clarify me? does SoftSPL need to be loaded on every system startup or just only on rom upgrade?
it seemed to me a better choice to use SoftSPL instead of HardSPL to not void warranty.
since OliNex (uber pro ty dudes) are developing a HardSPL is it possible to port/transform/whatever to SoftSPL?
best regards

softspl aka sspl is only used for flashing spl's. You can't flash a rom using a sspl. Why do you think the Hardspl is created???????
thought
sspl -> temp fix
hspl -> perm fix
With the softspl you flash the hard spl and then you flash a rom with it

it seemed to me a better choice to use SoftSPL instead of HardSPL to not void warranty.

no. imagine the following case... your device has no matching shipped rom for it... you flash a rom via sspl... flash gets interrupted... YOU're STUCK!!!
and warranty isn't voided with hardspl, just reflash to stock SPL before sending it in...

URGENT: flashing back to stock for warrenty - all gone wrong

hi
i've need some help urgently on this as the phone is being picked up in the morning and its currently going really bad
i had dutties 3.9 rom on, but i found a 1.19 orange rom in the wiki, so installed this.
however the display is very bad, and is only showing 16 colours so looks rubbish
I belive this is to do with the SPL
This is what i did:
1. put phone in bootloader mode (was displaying SPL 1.56)
2. ran blac_uspl.exe in USB mode which changed the SPL to 1.15 (USPL)
3. installed the rom
did i do something wrong?
any help VERY appreciated
Thanks
Did you tried to flash back your original SPL??
USPL is just a temporary patch of the SPL...
I think you have to flash back to SPL 1.15...
To check if you have the right version put phone in bootloader mode it should displaying SPL 1.15...

You are getting it wrong!
USPL is a temporary patch to allow you to flash a unauthorized ROM!
You have currently SPL 1.56 installed, but you need flash back stock SPL 1.15

i understand the problem now
but the link that was posted talks about hard spl, and when it says about reverting the rom, it talks about using hard spl, which is where i'm getting confused
Could you clarify which steps i need to take as its still showing spl 1.54
thanks

view the very last part of first post. It teaches you EVERYTHING. I think the part that you confused is going from step3 to step4. Read carefully. =)
good luck.

1. dnload the stock spl from the said thread.
2. dnload the hspl 1.56 olinex wrapper
3. connect ur fone to pc in the bootloader mode.
4. run the hspl 1.56 olinex wrapper and do nothing to the onscreen utility.
5. wait fr the files to be xtracted in the window from where u ran the hspl wrapper.
6. replace the self extracted ruu_signed.nbh with the stock spl 1.15 that u downloaded.
7. continue with the ruu utility.
thats all thts needed..

yes you're right, it solved my problem
the reason i didn't try in the first place was becuase the title said HARD SPL and i didn't want to mess it up as i used USPL
i used Restore_Stock_SPL_115.zip and swapped the nbh file after initilizing installation (after extraction) and it worked great
thanks for all your help guys!!!!!!
i really appreiciate it
My god, I was feeling your anguish while reading this topic until the end...
