If you only flash OS, no problem. If you have hard-spl installed your device will be almost unbrickable.
With a new Hard Spl, I can restore an old ROM?

can you explain me what hard-spl is ?
My question here is, will original ROM restore the splashscreen and initial bootscreen that was changed by LVSW?
So many questions

You can usually restore an old ROM even without Hard-SPL. It makes it a little easier because you can flash even ROMs that are not intended for your device (for example HTC Rom to Vodafone Compact GPS).

Sure. It is a replacement bootloader made by DES and later by Olipro. You'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1239088
LVSW offers it as a download as well, I don't know why he didn't include it in the update itself (nbh).

Yes, original ROM updates are what I call full updates: Bootloader, Splashscreens, OS, Radio. However they will only overwrite Olipro's Hard-SPL if you use Soft-SPL (sspl) for flashing. Keep that in mind if you want to send your device in for warranty repairs...
Enough noob questions answered For details use search, its not hard.
OK OK one more thing...
If I flash from mun_rus rom back to WM05 and take device for warranty... thay will not accept it?
If you flash it properly (load SSPL first, then run official update) they will have no way of telling the difference.
Obviously this only works if you have access to the official full update.

If your phone is the S300+ (SFR version of Trinity) it's gonna be hard. No SFR ROM is available yet. So you can find the OS part over here and you can save your extended ROM, but it seems to be hard to restore exactly as the same.
I`m just asking out of couriosity...
Flashed to muns SE rom works like a charm...
Hi, I dont have my Softbanks TyN Hermes 200 base ROM. I reflashed ones to shaps WM6.0.
It is recomended to flash original ROM before reflashing to one of the latest ROMs.... is there a good generic I could use instead of my original ROM? or should I just flash the new ROM directly?
thanks!
Its usually recommended to flash to original ROM when you flash a hyperstorage ROM, ie. OS and ExtROM merged! If not, just flash them and it should be ok.
What i do is strip out just the OS and ExtROM from the orginal one and make a RUU just by themself. I flash this before i flash the ROM i like. That way, i dont mess with radio, IPL, SPL etc.

When I saw this post I thought exactly about this. Can you please post this "stripped" version of the official ROM, I'm growing tired of reflashing Radio every now and then. BTW, I was trying to do this a few days ago and got more confused than anything, so I just quit.
Thanks in advance,

I dont have a rapidshare or any of the file sharing account and file is about 80MB, so i dont have a good way of uploading the file. Did you try using dutty's tool (can be found in any kitchen) to strip the RUU file and rebuild it again? That's what I did, if that helps.

Excellent, figured it was something like that. Thanks for the tip!
Hello,
I wanted to follow this method, but my original rom (softbank x01ht, wm5), is not available anymore. Can I use another generic rom, and in wm6 version? And using dutty's tool, are the "version" and "language" fieds important, or is it just for the info in the phone (as it will be a transition rom, I really don't care about it, even is it wasn't transition rom by the way)? Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm trying to avoid bricking my phone...

I am not sure about softbank, but if you can install any hermes ROM, then you should be good to go with any official hermes ROM.
I never change the version and language in dutty's tool when i create my own ROM's!
Ok thanks, that's all I needed! I will take the cingular rom as it seems it was the one which gave best results on hard reset issue.

ok karkalanand you need to Hard Spl your Diamond first (I used olinex 1.40 developers edition)
after that you can install upgrade version on your phone and no need to sim-unlock
cheers mate
& btw airtel lock sill remains
and @asksaravana: this is not official rom by HTC but much better than old crap

Thanks for taking the time to educate, just hard for a beginner to go the right way, also to find the right rom, when looking there is no way of defining the right rom, or?
Cheers
ROMs are like cars, you get lots of different types/speeds/looks etc.
most of the time, a ROM is either fast or pretty. You usually sacrifice one for another.
Dutty has some quick and standard looking ROMs, as does SwiftBL.
Just try one, if you dont like it flash another!
Just found this link to origenal Rom's, can i put the WWE on mine?

yes, but you will need Hard SPL first
is there any particular Hard spl?

sorry but that isn't right!
If he will flash an OFFICAIL HTC Rom he doesn't have to hardspl his device.
@Mina08: just try to load the official WWE version of HTC an start the installer... don't forget to backup your files on device. all of them will be deleted by flashing
ok will do, and i will let you know how it goes, again thanks to all for your advice.....
cheers
ooooops, do i need to CID Unlock? before flashing for the first time
If your phone is a Original HTC Diamond, you do not need Hard SPL. If it is Vendor or Area locked, you need to do a Hard SPL.
Hard SPL is the CID.
thanks again, i am sure this going to help a lot of people out, as it seems to be common that they want to change language
o'dear, got this message on the status screen
ERROR (294): Invalid Vendor ID
does that mean i have to do a hard spl
yup as i said
yay i was right lol
ok here we go again......if it works Mugglesquop i will buy you a pint
