Hi,
I'm newbie when it comes to flashing etc.
I have a Dopod D810 (network unlocked, etc).
I have flashed it with the official WM6, however, i wish to try one of the cooked rom available here.
my question:
- will i void my warranty?
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?
thanks for the help

Hey!
Even though this has been discussed before - and a simple search would have given you the answers, here they are:
- will i void my warranty?
- YES
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- YES, check www.trinityguides.info
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?
- You can download official ROMs from the support site, or you can take a look here.
tnyynt, thanks.

Read the Wiki! Here and here!
Excerpt from racerx_ trinityguides.info:
Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.

And remember the rules: search (native forum search, google search), read the results, read the wiki, search some more and then ask!
tnyynt, once again thanx (i LOVE your themes by the way).
So, since my phone is unlocked, I don't have to do hard SPL right?
Just download the cooked rom and go from there?
sorry for keep asking questions here, i know i can search, but i'm confused with the terminologies.
be nice please

Enter bootloader and check for HardSPL and version to make sure. If it is either OliPro or Des, you can proceed with flashing.

Great guide. this should help the noobs.
Thanks for your work on these.
MrVanX,
This is nice. Though I do not need it anymore, since I had to read the wiki and all the posts to get to where I am now, I am sure it will help reduce some of the noob questions.
I do not regret doing what I had to do, since I learned a lot during the process.
But thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thank you for the guide, I really do appreciate it.
One question though after doing a search and checking the wiki.
I checked my bootloader and it is 1.10 Oli.
I was going to load the HardSPL v3 prior to upgraded to the 1.38 radio.
One of the choices of bootloader is NOT 1.10 Oli...does this mean I do not need to do the HardSPL? Or do I still need it?
Thanks in advance...and if I missed the thread I'm prepared to smack myself across the face 20 times in restitution.

You will notice in "how to upgrade HardSPL v3" the guide says "if your version is 1.10.oli or 1.11.oli select the BLUE OPTION". When you run the HardSPL v3 installer you select the force sspl option. OK?? (i changed the wording of the guide)
Excellent guides...I've updated my sig with new URLs..

What a great guide - would have saved me endless trouble when I started upgrading (including my brick - repaired courtesy of Vodafone ) - but then again I've also learned loads the harder way.
Can you just write a guide on Un-Bricking, Cooking Roms, Installing apps, Creating Cabs, Searching, Reading the Wiki etc, etc (Hmmm, now there's a project)
Only kidding, but maybe if we can link this guide and the Unbricking thread to be the first thing a new member sees when they sign up as a member to the forums we may see less 'help I'm a ****wit' threads
Excellent guide!
Just wondering, will you be creating a "downgrade guide" for those who wish to revert everything back to their original state (OS ROM, Radio ROM & bootloader) for warranty purposes?
Thanks!

SPL Link broken?
Hi, it might just be my system but the SPL download link appears to be broken
Martyn
Link fixed, thanks for the heads-up!
Sorry Radio link seems broken too.
Hi, sorry to be a pain but I'm following your advise and going through the guide step by step and can't download the radio.
BTW: The SPL worked a treat, I'm planning on trying the LVMS flavour.
The links for the Radio are all working fine, are you using Winrar?? You need it for opening the radio package.

V4 and not v3
Hi
I'm quite a noob, so I apologize if i ask for something already mentionned.
I'm on SPL1.09 after install of LVSW 03/20.
I want to install HardSPL v4.
- This means only the bootloader files of the rom will be modified. Am I right ?
I need to check the yellow line.
But do I need to check "Is it hardSPL" ? What is this for ?
Then, as I understand, if i install a new ROM with radio, it'll modify the SPL again ?
Thanx
Greg

For those of you with a device that is NOT supported for the official WM6 rom release, this is what you need to do to flash it to your device. It is a reversable process (save for m700 users, you all need to backup your OEM rom first).
First step, if you don't have it already get hard-spl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42938&d=1183561237
Second step, flash it if you didn't already have it.
Third step download my safely converted update:
http://rapidshare.com/files/4219712...oIPL_noRadio_offical_rom_sspl_loader.rar.html
Step 4, flash it.
If you want the radio, proceed to use the others posted here at the forum...

Thank's a lot Shadowmite,
Just one last question before I try :
You're refering to the "Hard-SPL_ZakMcRofl.zip" in your first post. On the other hand, I saw you opening a thread regarding the new "Hard-SPL 1.30 MFG - Oli.zip".
Which one should I/we use, or doesn't it make any difference.
Having a SFR/Vodafone s300+ I'm a bit scared as there's no genuine rom to downgrade back to in case I get blocked.
Bye
because he wrote that post before Olipro released his updated Hard-SPL.. use the new one.

Thank you so much!
I want to try this ROM right now, but I don´t have access to rapidshare-like sites here in my office.
Can someone upload this ROM to a public server ZIPped and RARed with password (to avoid proxy to sneak into the file... it's blocking some downloads...)
I can setup a FTP account. If someone can upload the ROM to my server, I can share the ROM with people who has the same problem with rapidshare-and-stuff sites.
Thanks!!!
installed the rom.
but....
now i want to return to the original rom and downgrading i obtain a vendor id error.
I tried to cid unlock the device also and the error i the same. any ideas that can help me?
thanks

ROM working but...
Hi there!
First of all thanks for the trouble of getting the nasty bits out of the bundle and giving us just the OS
But... (there seems to be always a "but" with WM6) I've been having some problems with this:
- VOIP is nowhere to be found, no SIP settings anywhere.
- Memory Stick corruption. From time to time my SDHC stick goes crazy, showing up strange characters for the filenames and only a soft-reset gets it back to normal.
- Did any of you guys manage to get Video Calling working?
Well... the major deal for me is the Memory Card issue... Anyone having the same problems? Any ideas?
Best,
M Addario
--
HTC P3600
any hard-spl will work for this repackaging of the release.. you're fine to proceed
yes, you have Des' crash-proof SPL
addario, there's really no need to post the same question in multiple threads..
This rom seem to not contain any ext_rom ...
The "Device Information" module dont report any EXT_ROM version ...
it's "normal" ?
The attached screen capture show the "Device information" tab.
There is no informations about the ext_rom.
I also cannot access to it thru Total Commander.
So... it seem that something is corrupted on this rom update...
Some Info....
@ Shadowmite
Dear could you please tell me from which version did you re-make this ROM & why is there no detail showing of ExtROM in Device Information.
Hi,
I'm completely new to all this but have done my best to try and figure it out for myself but I'd still like to make sure I've understood a few things correctly...
I have an SFR s300+ bought here in France. The OS is WM5 and I'd like WM6.
I have allready tried out the "off"+"camera button"= soft reset to see if I needed to install a hard SPL : I do. I've downloaded Des' Crashproof (due to the reassuring name).
I can now install that by following the guide without backing anything up yet...
Once done I will have to copy all my important info and then I will be able to flash any ROM of my choice (English, French, official or not) is that right? If I'm not mistaken and I can install any ROM, which English ROM is the best (this one looks good...)?
I'd also like to know if I have to install a radio after this or will the one I have at the moment (that works fine) be preserved?
If I do have to install a radio which do you recommend for SFR in France considering I sometimes go to Spain.
Thanks for your help
Hi all, new to all this.
I have spent the last 6 days scanning the forums and wiki about upgrading to the offical rom for the trinity to WM6.
I have tried super cid and sim unlocks as well as Hard SPL and many other tricks and advice from users.
None of them seem to work.
Does anyone have a real idea (a proper technical answer) as to why the progress stops @ 28% on this update and not on any of the cooked roms?
I would really appreciate some help on this.....
Thanks all

my guess is something about the ipl or spl, since after you remove those and put it in a modified RUU it works..

And dont hold me responsible if this update fails for you.
It worked fine for me.
Spl and Ipl are removed , and splash screens changed to htc screens.
Thats all , so it still has latest radio and extrom.
I advise you to soft reset when you first boot your trin and see the screen that says customization will start in 3 seconds.

Hi there
I've buyed a Diamond locked by orange. Now I like to unlock it and install a custom rom.
I was going through the forum but I found too much and different articels that I decided to create a new thread.
So the question is:
What do I have to do to get my sim-locked phone ready for flashing a custom rom?
Thanks for the answers.

You DO NOT need to SIM unlock your phone to use a custom ROM.
You DO need to install HardSPL to your phone before you can use custom ROM, you only need to HardSPL once.
There is much information in the sticks posts at the top of the ROM section that will tell all you need to know about HardSPL and ROM flashing.
welcome to XDA
Thanks! this has just helped me aswell
good luck with journey to worl of rom`s
Here's additional NOOP question. Do you need to CID unlock the Diamond AND HardSPL to use cooked ROM's? Or is HardSPL enough?
Thanks!

If you mean, do you have to change the CID, the answer is no as HardSPL means that CID is not checked.

I have read some of the topics on this forum and also gone through the step to step guide. Basically I have a o2 XDA ignito which is working pretty well. However, I would like this to look like the HTC diamond i.e. the black interface. What is the best way to go about this please ?

Do what the man says and you'll be OK, Then you can find a ROM that takes your fancy !!!
thanks for that. Good news, I followed the steps and was able to flash to the rom from GXFX. Its very nice, much better than the stock o2 one.
I would really like to flash to the stock HTC rom but get the error message 'invalid product ID.'
What can I do about this please ? The product I have is an o2 xda and have olinex 1.40 running on it.

You cant flash any stock ROM other than O2 because your Diamond is Ignito from O2, tried it myself and got the same as you. There is plenty of Cooked ROMS in here that are way better than any stock ROM for you to try !!!
thanks, will stick with what I have got i.e. the rom from gxfx
