Hello,
i am nearly new to flashing PPCs. I flashed my old Motorola Handy before severaltimes, so i am not a complete newbie.
I read many threads here and i always recorgnize the word hard-SPL.
Because i dont know this word, i cannot start to flash and try.
Can someone describe, whats hard-spl means/is?
I already searched the forum and google, but i did not see a matching topic.
Regards,
FaaB
*push* Come on ppl Please help me. I just need to know this word to learn more about xda flashing

Dave

Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.

You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.
A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

If you follow the advice in link #3 above you wont go wrong.
The site referred to gives you all the knowledge and confidence to do the job.
Trust me I learnt the same way, by reading threads.
good luck!

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.
Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony
Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.
Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!
Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!
...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.
Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.
This is my first post here! I apologize in advance if the section is wrong. The problem here is that I have an I-MATE PDAL. I have been trying everything to "unhide" and Unlock the ExtROM.
It would be very thankful if anyone could guide me to this.
Thanks in Advance.
Mac.
It cannot be unlocked, but surely can b unhide.Pls search forum/wiki..the solution works..tested by me.before doing this, pls read the manual as how to hard reset, as u might like to do.
Thanks
Thanks, but could you be more specific as I am really new here. Sorry if this bothers you. I tried to search your post but so far I think i am doing something wrong.
Thanks again
hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!
I have been looking through this forum and havent come across exactly how to install a new ROM on my t-mo dash... So I am sorry if these are dumb questions... But I do have a touch pro 2 and they explained to me how to install a new ROM on it. Is it the same concept for the Dash? Do I have to flash it with an SPL? If someone could explain all this to me it would be appreciated, or if you could direct me to a part of the forum that will assist me. I want to change the ROM on my dash for practice before I do my TP2...
I'll explain the forum has a sticky & the top take your time to read........... Does say read before posting so as to stop ?'s that are already answered........
The choice if HSPL is yours most people don't but is available in sticky, the noobs guide to flashing is there too.
Good luck.

1- press power and down vole in one time
2- conect your usb cable

you can search on the forum (on the sticky thread for example), instead of creating several new thread for questions which have been answered million of times.

Put on your reading glasses and start reading this forum!
Use the excellent search function in here, and i'm sure you'll figure it out, just like we all had to at some point.
Solidpowder gave you some good links to start, this one might also be usefull:

Sorry, not meaning to be rude, but if you really want to solve your devices problem you really have to educate yourself, no one else can do that for you.
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4759071&postcount=7
As Nirak says, next time, please try to fix the problem yourself first by reading, searching, reading, searching, and reading.
Hope this helps.
