B&B v4 after O2 WM6 upgrade READ FIRST!!!

If Anyone has applied the WM6 update from O2 to their Orbit, you may find that you need to downgrade back to WM5 before installing B&B v4 ROM. The reason is the USPL that is updated. After flashing O2 ROM the USPL is updated to 3.something. When running the USPL program the SPL number changes to 1.11.0000. This does not happen after O2 upgrade.
So far only way to remedy this is to flash back to WM5, re-flash USPL and then flash new ROM.

And where do i get the "old" WM5-O2-Rom for my Orbit?
Thanx!

Thanks CoolGadget - that was fast.
1 more question for a newbie like me:
-I own the german version of the O2-Orbit - does this make a difference?
Cheers
Mic

Before everyone who's done the update to WM6 goes down this road, try this.
1. Make sure you're using a Windows XP PC!!
2. hard reset.
3. perform basic setup as normal.
4. soft reset.
5. apply uspl.
6. flash with B&B 4.
I had the offical WM6 ROM on mine, and actually just soft reset it, applies USPL and flashed and didn't have a single problem.

What is USPL?
OK this is a really stupid question, but what is a uspl?

Thanks for this tip,
it worked perfectly for me.
I unlocked my Orbit with C3v2Unlock from Imei Check (and of course my .unl key), prior to USPL Flash, but I'm not sure if it was necessary as USPL makes your phone SuperCID temporarily.
Anyway thanks again,
B&B 4.0 rocks !!

...or simply click the only sticky post in this forum...

1. To all members I would always recommend running USPL first before downgrading rom - if the spl no's change then it worked and you can flash another rom. (it worked on my orbit after flashing official o2 wm6 rom)
2. After supercid unlock from imei check - your device is permanently cid unlocked no matter what rom you flash - there is no need to run cid unlock again or uspl.
Shand if poss can you update your post as members will end up confused - if you doubt the info its here on the forum - read posts from faria and others.

I had o2 WM6 and I just flashed with uspl and then B&B 4.0, didn't need to downgrade back to wm5.

Just did a friends orbit, had no problems either.

I just did my XDA Orbit. Downgraded to the official 02 WM5 (as I'd installed the new 02 WM6 official version), ran the USPL and installed the new version. It's so sweet!
Also, I did mine using Vista - no probs. Just make sure you have old active sync drivers installed for Bootloader mode. Ask if you're unsure.
Actually while I'm here, I can see I can overclock the CPU. What's the maxium I can take it to, (safely)?

Schaps Rom

Hello Users,
i have one Question to the Schaps Rom WM6.0 for my MDA Vario 2.
I would like to install the Schaps Rom in German. Can i install, if t-mobile make their own wm6 update, this one later without having any problems?
thanks for helping,
greetings, robert

quick answer yes but make sure your vario 2 is super cid and sim unlockd
and have a copy of the original t-mobile uk rom

You don't have to superCID your phone nowadays but use Olipro's hardspl 2.10 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722. This, will effectively push superCID temporarily onto your phone and allow you to flash any Rom (some restrictions to this).
If you superCID the phone you can't go back to original (I don't think), but you can change back to the original SPL if you need to, such as for warranty purposes.

you can go back after super cid but Olipro's hardspl 2.10 is fine

I didn't think you could un-SuperCID... How do you do that? If you tell me Mrvanx's guide I should probably shoot myself

Excalibur Update SPL (USPL) 1.11

Hi guys,
I've just implemented an Excalibur USPL which allows you to flash any Excalibur ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Excalibur 1.11 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Excalibur after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Excalibur ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
The main reason for implementing this USPL is to support the poor guys who bricked their wifi. See this thread.
But those who want to flash a device where wifi works don't need to be afraid that wifi fails after the upgrade.
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW

SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates)
Excalibur-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL
Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS- JumpSPL.zip: version based on pof's JumpSPL instead of haret
SurrealNetworksAppUnlock.cab: alternative application unlocker (use this if SDA_ApplicationUnlock does not work)
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Vox is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here

Good job jockyw2001 ...
Let's see if the poor guys can turn the wifi back on again.

Good!!!!

Phil, to avoid misunderstandings: after running the USPL your device is not permanently CID unlocked !! It is only unlocked when you run it. After you flash a ROM it is CID locked as before. So each time you wonna flash a ROM you must run USPL first.

agreed. thanks a lot for your hard work, i appreciate it.
i'll integrate your CID Bypass in my Windows Mobile 6 guide. i hope it's ok with you - that way people won't have to pay 40 $.
the only beef i have with you is the fact that i wish you had done this 2-3 weeks earlier - that way i wouldn't have had to dish out 40 $ for my cid unlock. haha jokes
You're truly a hero based on the desperate need for a free cid bypass.
Better late then never - Thanks once again for your contribution to the forum..

Well, I haven't got yet my SPV E600 (S620 from Orange), since it's on the mail, but I'd like to thank you for this great tool.
Keep the good work

hey bro, but can we try the flashing-method to unlock our phones?? I have one here, im goin to try now!!

Guys,
It's still far too early to celebrate a triumph...
The only one in this thread who tested was phlipse and I'm not so sure if he actually flashed a ROM. And in the other thread there are two guys who also report results which are not correct.
At least it is unlikely that you can damage your device with running the USPL.

If you mean SIM unlock your phone, then no it won't help you with that.

i'm going to give it a try as soon as the ROM finishes downloading. i'll update the post with my results. i have a tmo wm6 rom on there now and my phone is cid locked. at least im assuming so since i get the invalid vendor id when i tried to install the generic rom last time.
EDIT:
So far so good! Looks like I am up and running on the generic ROM. Thanks Jocky!!!

I just got confirmed in the other thread that the USPL works fine for flashing *any* official Excalibur ROM. It's not yet sufficiently patched to flash cooked ROMs.

Excuse my ignorance but I want to know if this procedure serves to me and as I execute it, I I have one htc s621 with WM5 ESP and actualize with
HTC_S620_SPA_1.27.412.1_ 4.1.13.44 _02.94.90_Ship after doing it I fail wifi, this that they indicate now will recover wifi.
greetings

How to flash SPL 2.03

Howd'y just got a new Jasjam Spl is 2.03 how do I go about flashing my rom as the RUU doesn't have my SPl in it ??? Basically I want to updat to CRC's latest

Do some more homework first dude, you dont wanna end up with a paperweight......ALWAYS make sure you have flashed HardSPL before you do ANYTHING.
Take a peek here about what to do: Flashing HardSPL. Then flash away with any ROM you please.

Done a lot of lookin but everything I look at doesn't state anything about the 2.03 version all I want to do is U/grade to CRC's Cooked version, is there a how to incl 2.03 ???? I can't find one

seriously....you DO NOT need/want to be using SPL 2.03....you are increasing the risk of bricking your device...flash hardspl 2.10 to your device then just flash CRCs rom using the utility included with it.
Follow the guide i posted earlier to make your device safe to flash then look in CRCs thread for the files you need to run the ROM.

Bongo333, listen to MrVanx.... You asked the question and he's giving you his expert opinion... Listen to his experience cos god knows his guides have helped me out a lot of times...We don't wanna be answering questions tomorrow about how to unbrick your hermes. Its easier if you listen to experience and have a good time upgading your hermes as we won't knowingly steer you wrong..
Cheers

Do you know how I can get back to SPL 2.03? as I'm having troubles with my Jasjam, and it's not related to various ROMs etc. and I want to take it back to Telstra, but I know that if it has my current SPL version (SPL-1.10Oli) it will be rejected.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've gone through that, but that only gets you to SPL 1.06, which (I'm not sure really) is an older version which wouldn't be recognised by Telstra as genuine?

Thats fine thats a retail one.
You can go to 1.04
its here as stated on this mrvanx page

good question. I would like to know too

I have phone the oem spl at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324837#post2324837 just need to know the version to install now

Don't worry. I returned my previous phone with a Dutch T-Mobile ROM and they didnt notice. They just reflashed it / swapped it out....

well tmobile pulled me up on a flashed n95 and said it wasn't in warranty so dont want to risk it again.

My friend had 1 and when i flashed hard spl for him his was on 1.37
Just put that rom and the 1.37 stock spl and it will do the job.
Just 1 quick question why do you want to return the diamond? any problems?

returning it for the touch pro cant stand the crap battery life. Plus had a vario 3 and cant get on with out a keyboard.

Sorry to go off topic but just on Monday I asked UK T-mobile about the Touch Pro and they had no idea of availability. Are you suggesting they are now available?

i rang up today i they said they had them in but some of them called it the vario 4 or some called it the vario dimaond, but they said it was 89 quid on flex 35

SPLs are HTC produced.
No operator has it's "own" private SPL (afaik).
So SPL version 1.01 (random number) is exacty the same for all operators.

okay, so i'm not realy into all this hardspl-stuff ;D
i thought it was also providing me from flasing original HTC-Stuff on branded phones ;D
sry for newbie question its my first WM
but thank you for stating this out ;-)

Hard SPL won't allow you flash any other SPL..
You'd need a Soft SPL (sSPL) to do that.
Basicly you take the Hard SPL kit.
Replace the hard-SPL nbh with a factory-SPL.nbh and flash that.
(don't know if anybody has posted any "factory-SPL.nbh" for diamond yet)
After flashing the factory SPL you can reflash your shipped ROM to bring the device into Factory condition.

okay so i mixed up with soft and hard spl...
so thanks again, now i got it!(i hope ;D)
