Hi,
I have the following question. I currently have installed HardSPLv7 (so the device shows IPL-1.04 / SPL-2.20Olipro.
How exactly do I downgrade to my old IPL-1.00 / SPL-1.06 in case I have to hand-in my device for warranty reasons? I already searched through the forum and read that it can be done using sspl somehow but I couldn't find exact instructions.
Can anybody (maybe pof) give detailed instructions on how to downgrade to original ipl/spl from a .nbh with the correct ipl/spl files. I already prepared a .nbh with a spl-1.06 and the corresponding IPL extracted from an original vendor rom and put in my rebuilt dumped rom.
I also have the problem that I don't know where to get IPL-1.00, because on the page where to original roms are listed only the SPL version is noted, but not which ipl is in which rom. Can anybody tell me where I can get an IPL-1.00 .nb file?
Thanks for any help on this. I also think that maybe it could be interesting to put this onto the wiki if I anybody can answer this.
Thanks for any help.
check you PM
It's already pretty much in the Wiki, maybe a 'downgrade' link would be prudent.

IPL-1.00 / SPL-1.06? Is this working
Hi,
I just read through the mr vanx downgrade guide and found out that there is a downgrade package with IPL-1.00 and IPL-1.04 and a second one with IPL-1.01 and IPL-1.06.
Now, I have the problem that my device was shipped with IPL-1.00 and SPL-1.06? Apparently this is a strange combination as this is not downloadable at the mr vanx downgrade guide, so my question is. Can I simply extract the IPL-1.00 from one .nbh and SPL-1.06 from the other and recombine them using rombaker, or would a downgrade to this combination screw up my device?
Thanks for letting me know.
I'm on the same boat, I need to downgrade my JasJam to send it in.
I haven't researched at all yet, i've been pretty busy. when I get off work i'll look into it and see if I run into the problem your facing and we can atempt to solve it together.

Easiest thing to do is to download your original shipped ROM and extract the NBH file (using dutty's good nbh tool) and grab the IPL or SPL that you need and substitute that for the file from MrVanx. Just be careful what you flash - if you mix up the IPL and SPL file - InstaBrick! Trust me - I know
Do as ToddJG says, download the two files which i refer to in the guide.
Extract the IPLs and SPLs from the two files, mix and match.....BUT BE CAREFULL.......DONT FLASH UNLESS YOUR PREPARED TO DO IT.
ipl 1.00 and spl 1.06 will be fine.
make a single nbh from the mix and match combination then flash with customRUU.
What if i'm trying to flash the original shipped rom.. and i do the first step in your guide, then simply flash the shipped rom, or do i still have to extract the ipl and spl? (they're already extracted just wanting to know if its redundant if i recompile it with the rom i extracted them from.)
Ok, just succesfully downgraded to IPL-1.00 and SPL-1.06. Now i'm gonna flash back to an imate shipped WM5 rom. but one problem with that... clubimate.com is only showing the extroms which are around 6mb when downloaded.. where can i get the full imate rom?
also mrvanx what do u mean by this:
As with other downgrade guides this is NOT intended as a guide for claiming the warranty of the device having flashed components which are not authorised by the manufacturer or carrier.

It means that if you flashed unauthroized phone parts (like unofficial WM6 roms, radio upgrades and so on you have void your warranty). Of course if you can downgrade to your old rom nobody will notice that you did that.
But you have to be very careful on downgrading if you have also upgraded your radio I thinkk, cause you can brick your device (means having "NOGSM" after downgrading), see this note from mr. vanx downgrade guide for wm5:
NOTE: If your radio version is currently HIGHER than 1.27.00.00 then it is very likely the radio bootloader is version 0108, this WILL NOT allow the radio to be downgraded to a radio containing BL 0106 and will result in a "NO GSM" error.

Maybe you should follow mr. vanx downgrade guide for wm5 to make sure your on the safe side.
I thought he meant that it is still noticeable if you downgrade the IPL and SPL that it would be detected during warranty repairs but thats not the case...
I emailed I-Mate and they gave me an RMA# and had me purchase the $60.00 Diagnostic package from PocketPcTechs.com(They handle imate warranties in the US). So i did that, they emailed me with a form i should fill out and include it with my device when i ship it...
Did that, they sent me an email when they recieved my device, 15min after that i recieved another email that they were working on my devic, then Early the next day i get an email saying repairs are complete and its being ready to get shipped back to me... 15min an email with a tracking number saying its shipped....
Everything worked so smoothly, warranty was accepted, hopefully everything will be good when i get the device back (which should be today) I want to get rid of this ****ty iphone so bad!

MrVanx instruction working just fine, however do not put your Hermes into Bootloader Mode. I've been trying the steps with my hermes in BootLoader Mode for many many times and it does not work. Leave it on OS mode. (Today) screen before you run the CustomRUU. Hope this help
why is every one so paranoid about this....
has anyone EVER heard of a warranty being denied because of the software on it?

Guys I am having the same issue, I am exchanging my phone and need to downgrade. I followed MrVanx guide and downgraded to 1.10.olipro and now need to flash the original Cingular 8525 SPL back to the phone. The SPL that was shipped was 1.11. Where can I find the file to flash? I have been trying to find it with no luck. Could someone please help me out with this? Thank you very much!

Go to the wiki > hermes > original shipped wm5 roms and then decompile the rom with duttys good nbh tool. You will see an spl.nb file. Make that alone into an nbh file using duttys good nbh tool. Then flash to your hermes using the custom ruu.
Since you have successfully followed mrv's guide, you should probably know what all those things are.

No problem. I thought you already had the rom you wanted, but just needed to change the spl. Guess I gave the overly complex solution!

Hey, maybe i come to late,
I had the same "problem", I had the Screen Aligment Issue. And I really wonderd myself if o2 have problem with my "Schaps ROM Version HardSPL" BUT there was no problem, they solved my Screen Aligment Issue. Afterwards I asked, what actually is bad for warrenty. Upgrading the Bootloader is no problem. But CID (Costumer ID) unlocking will may be evil. Anyway's for myself (the SA-Issue) was a hardware issue which has nothing todo with software facts like upgrading the bootloader...
dont be worried... i guess there will be no prob...
Hello, just to start I will say that I'm completely new to PDAs, because I got my HTC TyTN a few days ago. So I had WM5 and I installed WM6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829
But then I saw the Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 Roms, which had TouchFLO installed and tried to install the full version, when it asked for Bootloader version I ticked the SP 2.02/2.10 (or whatever it was), because it was the closest to my Bootloader version - 2.03 (if I'm not mistaken). It started installing but after few seconds it displayed me some error. I don't remember what was the error, I only remember that it said that something was corrupted. So I would really appreciate any help installing Schap's WM6.
P.S As I said i'm newbie with PDAs, so please if you try to expain what should I do make it a bit more .... simple .
I'd suggest using the detect spl option when you try flashing. If you still get an error I would highly recommend posting the details so you can get the correct help.
There are several ways to get in touch with a new rom.
Please read the wiki, there should be everything explained.
Hermes Wiki
If nothing works there is only one solution for me, yet.
Then I have to change manually to bootloader mode and flash the original latest provider rom. After this step I am able to flash a rom of my choice again. regards
"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL" is the error that i get when I try the Autodetect. Should I try using safe SSPL or ... ?
I also forgot to mention that I'm using Windows Vista. I heard that there were some problems updating ROMs using the Windows Mobile Device Center, so perhaps this is the problem ?
To start with I strongly recomend you read the WIKI.
As first base you should install HARD SPL (again read the WIKI).
After you'll have hard spl on yor TyTN you should use autodetect.
(Make sure you are fully connected in Windows Mobile Device Center befor any of the above)
I've installed HardSPL guided by http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
but I still get the same error. I also changed the WMDC drivers with those from AS again beign guided from the above link. Should I tick the SPL-2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader or what should I do ?
Flash using an SD card.
YES pick Safe SSPL, it will run through and be fine. Sometimes that happens.
Flash a stock WM5 ROM. Get into windows. Download HARD-SPL (2.10). Use the force SPPL option while activesynced (GUEST) to flash the BOOTLOADER. Get back into windows, and use the same procedure for the OS ROM. Use force SSPL while activecyned..
Hi,
My Diamond has no response on the screen, so I think I need to return to factory for repairing. However I have difficulties in falling back to stock ROM and SPL.
From the Wiki:

STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!

I can't flash my ROM to latest HK WWE CSL ROM (2.03) as it just stopped at 0%. I'm using SPL-1.30.OliNex.
Questions:
0) Why? Any step I've missed? I've just copied the .NBH from HTC official ROM download. Should I get the .NBH from the Wiki instead?
1) Should I flash to v1.93 (the very beginning of the ROM)?
2) Must the RADIO be flashed back as well? or the above Stock ROM has included the RADIO already?
3) Anyone can give me a reference on the step-by-step in details...
Thanks!

If the latest was the offical from the site then you could use that - as you are having issues flashing this with 1.30 HSPL, I would suggest updating that to 1.40

Thanks a lot.
Re Q3, so do you mean if I extracted the stock NBH, it's only OS but not including RADIO? If so, I will get the RADIO from wiki page later. Would you please clarify for me?
After your information, I think the steps in Wiki are clear. Thanks.
If this is HK ROM is the one you have downloaded from HTC PAGE then it has a radio included
Since my Diamond is totally malfunction in the touch screen, I can't response to all the confirmation & prompts...
I've failed to install Stock ROM and tried your recommendation on upgrading to HSPL 1.40. There was a confirmation on running the program in my Diamond and I can't press YES and now my diamond is just like bricked.
I've also tried pressing VOL DOWN + Reset to connect the Diamond via USB. The ROM Update Utility has "successfully" update the HSPL, but actually when I hard reset it and found it's still running 1.30... Can I just use this approach to fallback to Factory status??
Anyone has good idea on how to fallback to Factory Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL, provided that my screen has totally no response to me?
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE help.
You will not be able to update olipros Hard SPL in bootloader mode as the SPL is protected and the 1.30 will prevent this although show its been done.
What you will need to do then is just load a 1.93 ROM from boot loader. the were some in that link i posted earlier. as to reverting to the default SPL - you may be luck not to need the screen for any confirmation. but running a new SPL to overwrite Oli's you will need to use windows and the RRU
I've tried to load 1.93 ROM to my diamond but failed on OliNex 1.30. The link in modmydiamond.info on OliNex 1.40 Signed seems not correct, as it's still 1.30 after flashed. I've then flashed UNSIGNED 1.40 OliNex SPL (also downloaded from modmydiamond.info) and now flashing the 1.93 ROM in progress from bootloader.
I will flash the Stock SPL through the Bootloader after that...I hope I can successfully fallback and get it repair...
Last question (I hope), the stock SPL should be 1.37 so I want to confirm whether it can boot 1.93 ROM.
Thanks a lot!
Because these Unsigned HARD SPL 's are write protected.....you will fail all the time. Not sure if stock SPL can undue the write protection but if you still get stuck after you try then in order to bypass write protection I know Jump SPL allows for this.

you're right. When I flash the Stock SPL, it is "successful" but actually it doesn't update the SPL (i.e yet running OliNex 1.40). Where can I get the Jump SPL?

That ROM had a different boot image - so you need to replace that by flashing another splash .NBH file using RUU.
Original splash can be found HERE
and if needed CUSTOM RUU HERE
Just un-zip these and put the splash file in the same folder as the Custom RUU and run the RUU - the flash should take a few seconds and viola - bye bye Diamond project splash.

As said before; you should be able to successfully run the stock SPL using RUU - if you are trying this via bootloader it will not work.
Which is the original SPL?? 1.23, 1.34 or 1.37? I do recall taking a picture of the original SPL when i 1st got the Diamond for days like that but i just can't find it now
I'm bought it from Malaysia. Anybody can help me confirm this??

I've tried to connect to ActiveSync successfully although the Initial Setup wizard on my Diamond. I've then run the RUU from RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and put the stock SPL .NBH file into the extracted directory. It can retrieve my device info, and when I confirm the update of ROM, after 3-5 sec it said about connection failure. I can browse the Internal Storage at the moment yet.
I've then tried similar thing using the Custom RUU inside the package diamond-hspl-1.34.zip. This time I can see 100% update. When I press VolDown and reset, the SPL is still v1.40 ONliEx.
What's wrong with my procedures above?

So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.
1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.
Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"
Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.
Great!
Glad it all worked out
Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph

thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly
Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?

Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/
EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-diam...ond_c-cdma-sspl-hardspl-package-here-now.html
Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!
Kindest regards from Switzerland - Christoph

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.

Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

I`ll have a look into uploading from MTTY as I have never tried that.. sounds a good feature if you can though for dead phones and such !
good luck.. again lol

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.
Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Here is your radios
Sorry for the short post, I have a really bad hangover lol
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
Morn' Dave!
I tried them all - none of them was flashable... same 0%-bar.
I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version
Good luck !!
And the hangover is nearly gone... I cured yesterdays with more alcohol lol
Have you tried these UNSIGNED dev HARDspls ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway
