Hi all, I'm a noob, as evidenced by my "101" question.
I have done my due diligence first, looking at wiki, then at page for my WING device, thru various NOOB helpful threads, thru sig files of thread-starters, using Google search of XDA, and searching FAQ of this Forum.
(1) IS there a simple glossary page amongst the various pieces of XDA sites? If so, could I get a link please. If not, it may be a good idea.
(2) The scariest thing for a newbie is finding what seems to be the perfect Orientation thread (such as on wiki page for Herald), and "links for all nebies" sticky threads, only to be hit right out the gate with terms one is unfamiliar with, and are not defined.
(3) I know I don't need to give an example, but I will anyway
I find this "starting point" sticky thread from the wiki for Herald.
>> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<
It's a fantastic service to have a top-level guide for beginners -- and no complaints at all... I'm just identifying that I am sort of terrified right out of the gate, as I see this:
How 2to flash
Hard-SPL - READ carefully
and I have no idea what Hard-SPL is. So I go to that link/thread because it's a top instruction on the list, and I find this:
HARD-SPL - working! I case of people who don´t read 200 post and still brick their device - here is the guide that worked for ALL people with:
HTC P4350
XDA Terra
WING
with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT)

with IPL 4.xxx and higher!!! (that is IMPORTANT)
I have no idea what IPL is, or where to find it. So I go to my WING device under settings > system > Device Info > and I look at each tab. I do not find IPL -- but I am told this is important, and from reading around, I understand the concept of bricking a phone, if one does not read carefully.
So I go to GOOGLE SEARCH within XDA, and enter "Hard SPL" to try to get a definition. I try these:
Hard-SPL, Or How to Not Brick Your PDA Ever Again And Fix Bad Blocks!
I search further using Google within XDA and find this thread:
which now gives me an initial framework of understanding "what is Hard SPL" :
What is Hard SPL?
- a custom G4 SPL patched by Olipro which let your device think it has SuperCID (aka CID unlocked)
What is different from the Soft SPL?
-Soft SPL is temporarily, this solution is semi permanent, it will be removed by flashing an original G4 SPL.
-You don't need a separate loader in the future, just use the RUU provided in the ROM package.
Can I use it for other devices than for a G4 wizard?
G4 Wizards only, use at own risk
...
Now you have Hard SPL
You can flash the ROMs with the RUU in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52404&d=1190997171) (thanks for the tip Boto).
So no need to downgrade before upgrade anymore.
But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL. Once again, IPL -- what is it?
I search Google for that as well. I also search for SuperCID, because I don't know what that means either. I searched more threads, and then I concluded: okay, I'm going in circles, so I am going to post and ask "Is there a Glossary?"
If there isn't, could someone please define for me these various essentials?
IPL
SPL
RRU
CID
RADIO
Thanks very much. And fwiw I I included examples in this thread in the spirit of the XDA forum, so that it might help someone else after me
IPL- basically the phone's bios. It controls the boot order (i think)
SPL- This is like the protocol for ROM access. There are something like different levels of access depending on what one needs to do. HardSPL sets the level permanently to the highest level (this is simplified)
RUU- you use this to flash roms and stuff. it contains the instructions for accessing the ROM
CID- this tells you whether or not you can access the rom. If it is locked, you cannot flash an unauthorized (unsigned?) rom.
Radio- these are the firmwares for GSM radio that your phone uses (bluetooth, wifi, etc are stored as part of the ROM)
By the way, at the bottom of the main page of the forums there is a dictionary section. Look around there.
XDA-developer encylopedia
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, use the Hermes HardSPL to flash your device. Please change that information. That WILL KILL your device.

Hey thanks very much! I'm still not sure if my T-Mobile Wing meets criteria specified by some of the threads. So, how does one find how one's phone meets those various specs?
(maybe it is answered below, i will read on.) thank you

ivanmmj -- I'm guessing you were addressing me. I have not authored any posts or threads with any instructions of any kind; i'm wet behind the ears. If you are saying to me "Don't use HardSPL on my T-Mobile Wing", thank you, that's what I needed to know.

Let me rephrase and simplify my question, and maybe you can help me:
I have the T-Mobile Wing (Herald). I want to put a new rom on it, and I want to eventually run a iphone-like interface. I began at the start reading the very first directions from the sticky thread: >> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<
And I see that I need to know my phone's specs: How do I find out for my specific phone:
1. What is it's IPL ?
2. SPL: Is there anything I need to know about this from my phone?
3. CID: How do I find out the status of my phone, if it's locked or unlocked?
Thank you much.

I just ran across this thread while trying to edgercate (educate) myself on WinMo-speak. Sorry, but I could not see a dictionary section, or else I could not find the "main page" of the forums, or I'm just blind.
Help?

I feel for you, Randy... It's over 2 years later, and it's STILL not easy to find this supposedly easy to find glossary... I couldn't remember where it was so I went to the wiki -- then i had to scroll down past one whole screen and then it appears... Needless to say not very helpful information design.. But, the site is in the process of being revamped, and I am sure this is on the list of things to do to help make the information more accessible.
HERE IS THE GLOSSARY: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Glossary
When I read the part you quoted above, it brought back painful memories... Not ONE of those supposed explanations was the least bit user friendly, and each presumes you know a whole other set of terminology... It drives me nuts! It's seems to be as good a definition of HELL as any, if hell were to exist at all. Hope that link helps... If not, go HERE, to the Q & A general forum -- where they really truly will help newbs with almost anything.. they just ask the one thing asked everywhere: Try searching at least once.... But never drive yourself crazy with SEARCH, especially when just starting out. If you find yourself being lead into endless circles, then ask the question here -- you will FOR SURE be helped.

For those who haven't bothered to read the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING announcement by mrvanx
A few things you should keep in mind before posting to XDA-Developers forums:
Check if your question has been asked before
Some questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search function' in the menu above each and every page in the forum. Try entering a few keywords to see if your question has been asked before. If it has, please read the topics and see if you can figure it our from there. You can also search inside a topic if it has too many comments by using the search function (CTRL+F) in your browser. If you don't find the answer, please post a comment to the relevant thread instead of starting a new one.RTFW, or Read the Wiki
Chances are your question is already answered on the wiki: Make sure you browse through the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) before you start a new topic. If it's an obvious or common question, chances are someone has already put the answer there.ETFW, or Edit the Wiki
Information stored in the wiki is dynamic: The wiki makes it easy for anyone to contribute or edit pages, and link them together, it is the best way to keep all information current and accurate. If you ask something in the forum which you didn't find on the wiki previously, please take 5 minutes of your time to EDIT the wiki and add the information there when you get an answer. This is the only way to avoid tons of new threads asking the very same questions over and over and over again.
Don't be afraid of editing the wiki if you don't understand the wiki syntax: Formating may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, but you don't have to care too much if you just want to add content, add it as if you were writing a text document and sure someone more experienced with wiki syntax will edit it after and correct the bad formating mistakes.First time here?
If it's your first time here, we encourage you to read general XDA-Developers guidelines too, which is an extended version of what has already been said here.

Update: 9 October 2014
The links for all the files below have been pulled. I have a detailed post why located here.
Hello All !!!
Since I have been given the Moderator title and I also got a new device (SGS3 Woot!! Woot!!), I won't be around the Vibrant section too much, except maybe a drop-in here and there. I loved this phone and learned so much about how Android, Samsung and XDA works. Sad to go but as Kurt Vonnegut says, "So it goes" (Google it - It comes from a great, classic book).
Below is a almost all the files I have on my HDD and any that anyone wants to send to me. These will be hosted on my Dev-host account indefinitley, as they will never get stale and won't be deleted until I do so. The downloads are NOT fast, but they are stable and reliable.
If anyone has any files that they don't see on this list, please send me a link. I will download them and then re-upload to my Dev-Host account and you can take them out of yours before you get locked for too much traffic (i.e. Dropbox).
Please Note: This thread is a Download Thread. Everything in here is free for the taking, however the info on how, where and when to apply these is out in the fora.
Above All: All Credit Goes To The Original Creators Of Everything.
Choice is something that has been fought for, relinquished, dreamt of and lost. Here in XDA we have a choice to either use on not to use. This is YOUR choice. If YOU decide to use these tweaks, any problems that arise are YOUR responsibility. Now that is out of the way, here you are.
IF you cannot find what you want here, you most definitely will be able to find it in N00B_In_N33D's awesome thread---> [REF] The Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread. He has put a crap-ton of work in it and please have a look at it. Also hit his Thanks as well. It's free and he deserves some recognition for his efforts, even if it is only a button click.
You can click on these and it will direct you to my Dev-Host page and will provide an MD5 Checksum there.

Thank you my friend for all your hard work and great knowledge you've brought the Vib community over the last two years :victory: This is not a goodbye of course lol I know where you live lol I'll see ya on the GREEN-side and hopefully soon rockin' my Zen with you guys @ the TMO G3 forums !!! Thanks Woody
WOW WOOD truly amazing work on the post could not say it ne better thanks for all u do for us cheers!
Don't forget to send me any files that you may have that are not on the list above. I will be uploading a few more ROMs and all the 2.2/2.3.x kernels this weekend. It would be good for you to send what you have so that I can do it all in one night.
Just PM me a link and I will download it, re-upload it to Dev-Host and PM you back so you can delete it if you want too.
I tried to flash the Stock 512 PIT and my phone is now comepletely bricked... There goes the 150 I was gonna sell it for...
Dino, did you only flash the 512 pit? 512 only works in combination with the JFD .tar. So in pit section you put the pit file, next in the pda area you put the JFD tar file which is the full stock image, and then start odin. Try to get back in DL mode and try again. Also unselect auto reboot and check repartition. After it completes, then hold the power button for > 5 seconds
Yes... but I did figure that out and fix it. Silly mistake, sorry.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Maybe I'll post something in the OP that this is just a download thread and that the directions on how to use them are out "there".
This weekend I will try to link all the downloads to their respective threads. That may help with any unforseen issues creeping up like above.
Anyways, Dino. Glad you made it out alive.
Great idea and resource
Thank you for this. It would be so awesome to see this for every device using this thread as a template. What a great idea and great execution.

Are my links down? I check them periodically to be sure. I know they are not the fastest, but they should still be working. Thanks for posting some mirrors though.
So yesterday I was downloading something for my Nexus5 while on my Nexus 7 (2013) that was hosted on Dev-Host (DH). As you may or may not have known, DH has implemented some sort of partnership with an ad service that wants to install an apk before you are able to hit the Download link in the center of the page. If you are on a browser like Dolphin, it will open another screen and you can deny/cancel then. But if you are on other browsers (I have multiple installed for various functionalities), it will auto-install. This has been happening for a few months now and several Users and Developers have emailed and PM'd the DH owners. XDA has reached out as well to no avail.
As I was saying, yesterday I was downloading something to my N7 and the pop up came as expected. I hit Cancel like usual, only this time it redirected my browser to another page. It said I had a Virus and that I needed to push OK to run the scan. Well, we all know how malware works and their reliance on you pushing OK. I backed out of it and closed the tab. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know what happened. So I tried again, only this time I captured the screenshots (I'll upload later on) and the URL. I put the URL into Wheregoes.com and it was a redirect with 4 children to trkthatpaper.org. This didn't sit well with me and I instantly put Airplane mode on and ran a full virus scan on my tablet. After a bit of panic and research, I concluded that my tablet was clean.
After the past few months and last night's fiasco, I cannot in safe conscience host any of my works on Dev-Host any longer. It is to the point where I will be taking the links down in the OP and going to a public computer to delete them and my account on Dev-Host. Yes, I feel that strongly about this that I am 1) Using a Public Computer to log in and delete my works and 2) I am having my account dissolved if possible (if not, it will die on its own from being unused and stale).
I have everything in my OP still on my HDD, so if anyone wants anything, please feel free to PM me and I'll upload it to a more reputable host or you can find many of the files in @N00B_IN_N33D's [REF] The Official XDA Vibrant Bible Thread -ROMS/KERNELS/MODEMS/MODS/ETC- 12/29/13 . Most of the works in both our threads are outdated, however sometimes you need to start from scratch and trying to find the files to do so can prove to be a struggle.
I am unsticking this thread and pulling my links, but as I said above, if you need any of them please let me know.
Thank you for understanding and be safe out there.

Its saddens me to see this post get so little thanks for it, takes a hell of a lot of time to put a op like this one together let alone upload all the files. Come on people quit being ungrateful and appreciate the mans hard work that goes into this type of stuff...
The Mod-Father has spoken! Good catch Woodster, I think I still have a DH acct, but not for long if I can turn it down.
Hi, I'm BigboyPL. Maybe some people already know me.
Firstly I don't have LGP880, just GT540 and old KP500.
Probably you are wondering what I'm doing here.
I will answer : I'm helping ppl with LG. Especially with firmwares, flashing and service manuals.
It started in 2009. I've bought brand new KP500 in February. After few months I started modifying a firmware etc.
I was very interested in csmg servers. I looked for a lot of things and after few days I knew almost everything that I've need.
In 2009 it was very easy to crack B2B (just need to change password window to main window ;d) and also pages was very simply.
Also links for firmwares was little different. FW was in .cab extension. It was needed only one page to get list of all .kdz firmwares.
You can look here how it was looked: http://web.archive.org/web/20090508...g/b2c/client/b2c_version_mode.jsp?model=KP500 easy as pie ;d
Then in 3rd quater of 2009 LG has changed many things. Firmwares was in .kdz and were signed to IMEI number, and it's for today. B2C_version_mode page dissappeared.
There was a new pages used in B2B:
ezlooks_to_csmg_noti.jsp - it was used for inform about new .kdz firmwares
global_manual_noti.jsp - it was uded for inform about new drivers, service manuals etc.
You can see it here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20100611...com:9002/csmg/popup/ezlooks_to_csmg_noti.jsp?
http://web.archive.org/web/20101124...le.com:9002/csmg/popup/global_manual_noti.jsp
as you can see it's a bit harder cause you must substitute data to link. To get complete suffix you must use :
http://web.archive.org/web/20100923...mode_country_check.jsp?model=GT540&country=GB
previously you can download service manual from here: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/sw_manual_list.jsp?model=KP500&suffix=ADEUSV
now you can just download user manual, pc suite, and drivers only.
Then in 2011 pages was changed to other. ezlooks_to_csmg_noti is now agent_phonesw_notice_list
I make copy of agent_phonesw_notice_list every day. I've backup since 2011, and ezlooks since 2010. I can download any .kdz file which can download B2C at normal update.
In 2012 I found out that LG has beta RNDTESTSW firmwares too.
Since then I'm trying to understand how to get this firmware but vainly.
In 2013 LG has changed authentication in B2B and B2B is logging to LG site too. LG has changed WEBSW to WDLSW parameter updated csmg server and
added parallel header site (csmg.lgmobile.com:9002 is running same as csmgdl.lgmobile.com)
I also found B2B cracked by ooxtcoo on his ftp site. I have 1.4.8.0 and 1.4.9.0 versions.
Many peoples has it too.
I wanted to patch a new version and I found that daniel.wro patched traffic and gained access to the tool. He told me that he used tool called fiddler.
I spent one day to find how that works.
Then I started to look for RNDTESTSW in many programs. First tool that I patched was B2E but I didn't found anything interesting.
Next, at general forum reas0n said that a man called foil uploaded beta version fw for LGE960. I found his profile on xda but he wasn't online for about 2 months.
I found his twitter (f0il) and then our conversation begin.
He told me that I must use PCSyncFTP tool from LG. He added that I will find something in traffic.
For about a month, I struggled with this tool and finally I had to give up cause I found nothing.
I wanted him to say something more but he gives me nothing.
Please, don't spam any messages at his profile cause he won't tell you anything. He is reverse engineer and that't his job. It is obvious that if someone earns money for it why would he tell you for free. Respect it.
I took a different way.
I was looking for "something" in the other tools.
I've edited B2C tool and now I have Retail&Vendor tool.
in B2C you can see 2 links:
First link giving us some RNDTESTSW link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/...websw_list.jsp?country=®ion=&buyer=&model=
e.g. http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/...list.jsp?country=DE®ion=E&buyer=DEU&model= (without model it shows all models)
but I think it giving always outdated links cause
<model>LGE975</model>
<suffix></suffix>
<buyer>DEU</buyer>
<buyer_name>GERMANY</buyer_name>
<swversion>E97510C_00</swversion>
<live_date>2013-03-18 16:28:16.0</live_date>
<region>E</region>
<country>DE</country>
<country_name>Germany</country_name>
<chip_type>QCT</chip_type>
<sw_recommand_uri>GLOBAL/EIC</sw_recommand_uri>
<sw_uri>http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/RNDTESTSW/LGE975/DEU/07IHFWIZXG/E97510C_00/E97510C_00.kdz</sw_uri>

you can see that is uploaded today in 16:28 korean time (GMT+8)
and link is not working.
the second link is
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check_optestimei.jsp?esn=
if somebody has developer phone after esn= you should type IMEI and it should give something.
And now it's time to reflection. I have many IMEI's from prototype phones (IMEI starts at 0044) and it's not a developer phone.
I think it's used to test hardware, I mean prototype to test does phone works good. Also gsm providers can get this prototype to see how will looks their "additions".
Also companies that are making reviews (e.g. gsmarena) doesn't have developer phones.
I once read somewhere in LG Service Information bulletins that there are phones with yellow imei labels. Such mobiles aren't repaired but send somewhere in LG.
Maybe this is the clue.
here is edited version of B2C: http://www.mediafire.com/?hme6xi15io74jdy
you should put this file in LGMOBILEAX/B2C_Client (in xp C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\LGMOBILEAX\B2C_Client)
In Extras tab you have some extra options and tool will work till next update.

Thanks for writing this thread and supporting us ..
Best regards,
i look forward to any additional help you may provide, thankyou
couldnt the RNDTESTSW somehow be part of UpTestEX_mod2_marwin which is the RNDTESTTOOL maybe there would be some way of unlocking extra tabs inside it, i know that it already has 2 options that say they are not implemented yet please wait for next release
Nobody knows how to activate new version of UpTestEX.
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/client/inhouse/UpTestEX_1.1.5.2.cab
Buttons are always not active.
yeah i told about that version today but we do have the version before 1.1.5 that is already cracked/working. .
heres a few url''s for other stuff that someone told me about but you probably already have them and i dont know if there off any use to you

ttp://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/client/inhouse/B2CAppProg_1.6.3.0.cab
(place the h at the beguinning of url)
also wouldnt it be possible to use hex editor to see how the previous was bypassed or with fiddler
Where is patched 1.1.5.2 version of UpTestEx ?

if you have original and patched uptestex, would it not be easy with IDA pro to look at assembly code and change the same code in updated edition??

i said we have the previous version patched (actually a little older than previous its ver1.0.4)but at a guess the method of authenticating would of probably only changed slightly if at all or even better would be to check how b2b does it
I think those rndtest goodies can be obtained from B2E support->upgrade event but it requires security key that it sends to server so without right authentication server won't send any info
I also tried buyershop but it needs password not at its openning and it didn't check the server for authenticating so it might be built in password
Buyershop is operator support tool (I have buyer test app and it's working without passwords), it only has one option : update phone.
Previous versions of UpTestEX can be cracked using just ResHacker or other tools like this. You must change not premited menu to premited menu and add parameters WS_VISIBLE to all buttons, windows etc. and delete WS_DISABLED.
Sorry that I don't finished this theard but I'm very busy now. In next few days I will try to write some text.

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check_optestimei.jsp?esn=x
do u know the right response to this - it looks like see if u've operator test mobile b4 doing the ordinary check and it might give some permission
i tried to respond with the same ordinary response but it didn't enable me to download 20a - maybe its related to this rnd temp link
another interesting check which i don't know its response http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/os_upgrade_check_rnd.jsp?esn=x
ofcourse normal respone is fail on both (we need operator esn)
It must give status=OK and some .kdz RND link I think.
BigBoy,
It would be wise to keep your findings to yourself, and stop talking about it in an open forum. I understand that you're wanting to help everybody out, but you will kill the access that you have if everybody and their mother can do it. I have full admin access that I can create/delete real working accounts, and bind mac/ip to account, so I'm personally not worried about it - but for the sake of the community, please don't put this stuff out into the open. Respect what you have, and don't abuse it.
I'm not trying to be an asshole at all, I'm just looking out for everybody.
Btw, not all R&D is hosted on public internet, and is only on LG private intranet. You need remote pin access
Intro
This is a bit different than most postings here, as I'm not providing any binaries to install on your phone and instead providing a simple tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, to build your own OS based on AOSP on a regular basis, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. This probably will be interesting to a small subset of users as it does cost money to run this infrastructure in AWS.
What is RattlesnakeOS
RattlesnakeOS is a privacy and security focused Android OS for Google Pixel phones.
Features:
Based on latest AOSP 9.0 (Android P)
Support for Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL
Monthly software and firmware security fixes delivered through built in OTA updater
Maintain verified boot with a locked bootloader just like official Android but with your own personal signing keys
Latest Chromium browser and webview
Latest F-Droid client and privileged extension
Free of Google’s apps and services
Advanced build customization options
What is rattlesnakeos-stack
Rather than providing random binaries of RattlesnakeOS to install on your phone, I've gone the route of creating a cross platform tool, rattlesnakeos-stack, that provisions all of the AWS infrastructure needed to continuously build your own personal RattlesnakeOS, with your own signing keys, and your own OTA updates. It uses AWS Lambda to provision EC2 spot instances that build RattlesnakeOS and upload artifacts to S3. Resulting OS builds are configured to receive over the air updates from this environment. It only costs a few dollars a month to run (see FAQ for detailed cost breakdown).

Here is the download link to the tool I developed to build your own RattlesnakeOS: https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack/releases. I don't publish public builds of RattlesnakeOS as I don't think it's generally a good idea for anyone to install random binaries onto their phones from internet strangers.
I'm not really certain why everyone is so hostile towards a different approach to a ROM. Just because there is no public download link doesn't mean that it is not a ROM.

The items and tutorial are free and do not require payment, the service used to build the ROM does but it's nothing the OP has control over.

So in order to build this ROM it cost money?
Is there a free way for members to build this ROM?
If not I believe that's against XDA rules.
Wow, didn't expect so much of a negative response. Feel free to delete the thread, move it, whatever. Just trying to share a useful tool/ROM with the community.

Sadly I think XDA isn't the right place to have such a non spoon feeding experience.
Most of the users are mostly clueless about rom building let alone rom devloppement.
They expect a binary to be fed to them and ready to flash.
Anyhow, what you created here required a ton of work and that's greatly appreciated. Kudos to you, at least it's not some random Kang like we can see this forum being populated with.
