-version displays 1.30.Olipro
[b]Version 1.30:[/b]
-Fixed SPL protection bug
-rtask commands enabled

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.

why are you so agressive?
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

Removing Hard-SPL?

Once your unit had Hard-SPL how do I return it back to original SPL? Browsed thru all the threads including the original Hard-SPL thread but there seems to be no clear instructions.
Thanks.

You'll need to get an official ROM and flash it. (official ROMs contain the shipped SPL as well as the OS)

I already have the official 2.27 unlocked ROM. I tried to reflash it but still the SPL stays the same. Do I need to do something before flashing the official ROM?

Thank you for reply. I tried your suggestion but it did not work on my Treo. It was not restored to the original bootloader.

When I flash the offical ROM. It did not remove hardSPL. I also tried using the Recovery software. that didn't seem to remove the hard-SPL either. it is not a major problem at the moment for me. but I like to know how to remove HardSPL. (Incase I need to send it back for service.)

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

Could you clarify which steps i need to take as its still showing spl 1.54

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

Checklist!

Hello guys
I have been dying to flash my blackstone for a while now but i was scared of damaging it.
Anyway i went through all the tutorials (tyvm to everyone) and i think i am finally ready.
I just want to check a few things before i go for it.
Please correct me if i am doing something wrong thanks in advance.
My spl is 1.14.0000.
so i need to upgrade it to official spl 1.54.
Question: 1. I want to use USPL i understand that dosnt void my warranty right?
I downloaded all files in cRaCKwHoRe's TUT
in order to do that.
I have also updated my usb drivers.
I have a copy of Duttys' 3.9 Rom.
Questions: 2. If i upgrade to spl 1.54 from that post i wouldent need to reswitch it ever to 1.14 for warranty purposes right?
3. Are their any risks at all of bricking the device while flashing?
4. I tried downloading the official rom upgrade why did i get a ''this rom is not for your device message"?
5. I read their is a way of flashing from the sd card i understand i need a BLACIMG.NBH file where can i get it is there a Tutorial for this?
6. My phone is Branded should i save/backup the stock branded rom just in case?
Sorry for the long post
Thank you.

Thank you in Advance,
Roman

Please do not start new threads for questions that are best treated in the threads specifically dealing with flashing. There are specific threads for HSPL, USPL and a Tutorial discussing and explaining both.
An official spl will not work (unless it is 1.54.0000) but you will still need to use USPL in that case to keep the spl. That being said however, AFAIK the spl will not have any performance related enhancements to the device unless of course you have the wrong one, in which case the performance will be negatively affected.
You have the choice of either using HSPL or USPL for flashing new roms. As you have chosen HSPL this permanently replaces the standard spl (it can be reversed though).
With USPL, the way I understand it (have not tried it myself as I use HSPL), you first upgrade to an official spl - 1.54.0000, and then using UPSL this allows you to "crack" the standard spl to flash a new rom and each time you flash you need to repeat the process.
The difference between USPL and HSPL:
* HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
* USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.
