Hey
my phones being picked up tomorrow and I have swiftbl and some version of hard spl(cant remember) I am downloading the official orange rom now but is there anything else that I should remove? Do I need to remove Hard spl? or do i need to flash to another version?
Thanks
yeah you need to return back to the stock spl! do this last and make sure you have the correct radio version also! if not included in the orange ROM!
theres pleanty of threads on here regarding this matter!

When you're done flashing the official stock Rom, you'll need to flash the stock SPL for warrenty reason. Search the forums its in here somewhere.
If its a 1.93 version Rom your installing, then you'll need the 1.93 SPL
Happy flashing

I am using the french version of HTC 3600. I will foloww LVSW procedure for updating but what if it goes wrong !!
Can I simply re-apply the official HTC rom from the HTC web site? WIll that work ?
Thanks for helping

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...
i need to revert my device to the original WM6 rom..my device's vibration gone crazy.. sometimes its on and sometimes its not.. i've checked my setting thoroughly..and i can confirm that its not due to any software i've installed .. so i need to send my device for service..
Currently, my device is running on:
ROM Version : WM6 LVSW
ROM Date : 17/4/2007
Rom Version : 3.30.2.1
in my case, is reverting to the official WM6 ROM considered downgrading or upgrading?
can i just flash my device just like that or must i downgrade my spl?? btw how to check the spl version?
does the official WM6 ROM also changes the radio rom automatically?
i've searched for the guide on this matter bu cant find one..
Shah,
Have a look at the wiki; you should find enough in there to get you started.

i've read the wiki.. but it what it doesnt say is.. if i'm already using a non-official WM6 ROM user, should i perform the flash using hardspl or not? for info my device is running on LVSW WM6 ROM... i know i need to use the hardspl if i flash using the repackaged big storage rom.. but what about if i flash using the official rom downloaded from HTC?
btw.. i'm sending my device for servicing.. what do they check to make sure that the device is still under warranty.. i mean do they check the bootloader, etc? if they do.. should i downgrade the spl? to what version?
i've done some reading in the previous thread... some say that the service centre will check the bootloader and some say they will just check the rom version but not the bootloader..
now lets say just to play safe.. i plan to flash my device using the repackaged official wm6 rom from xda.developers.. which of course will use the hardspl..then..after completing the flash.. i'll downgrade my spl to the retail spl v1.04.. will this work? or will it brick my device??
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

hi all,
i had a quick question about upgrading ROMs. my stock ROM was the HK WWE version 1.34.something. and then i hard-spl and upgraded to the TLR version 3 ROM (which btw is great!). but i want to give the official HTC 1.93.831.1 WWE rom a try.
what do i do? should i go back to the stock SPL? do i need to go back to my stock rom?
help is much appreciated, thanks
(yes, i am noob at this )
My situation is similar to you, I already hard-spl and tried a few custom ROM. Yesterday I also upgraded to this latest HK ROM. No problem, no need to go back stock SPL.
Performance is significantly improved, Highly recommended!
Only drawback is the ROM size is very large that after installed the memory is just 60MB.

Hi there all im new around here.. kinda new with the PDA phones also Diamond is my first one so.. sorry but i have just 1 question..
I read the tutorials mostly ... i know i gotta upgrade first a Hard SPL if i want to be able to install a custom ROM afterwards..
I want just to upgrade my ROM with the Official one from HTC site the latest one.. and i dunno.. do i need to upgrade the HardSPL in order to upgrade with the official ROM ??
And if yes.. what version of Hard SPL do i need to upgrade to first ? if i upgrade with Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED will the latest Official ROM work fine ?
Thanks a lot

Hi when i wanted to upgrade to new stockrom i could´t do it without hardspl
im using 1.24 it works like a charm..
When upgrading a manufacturer ROM to a newer release of the SAME manufacturers ROM, you don't need HardSPL.
My phone is danish now, Can i change it to english via official rom?
how can i get the rom from htc web site?
Thanks
namida85:
most likely english will not install on your device. to make it happen, you need to install OliNex HardSPL first.
this will enable you to flash any rom afterwards.
where to get rom? just use search engine on this site or internet, you will find what you are looking for.
regards,

Yes, if you want to flash different ROM (even official, like FR to WWE) you need HardSPL.
