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?

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.

Man thank you so much for the fast reply! Having downgraded to 1.10.olipro and downloading the original rom exe, when I ran it (accidentally) it flashed the 1.11 SPL back to the phone for me. I didn't even have to use duttys tool. THANKS AGAIN!

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,

I have flashed my ROM without problem but i can't manage to flash my radio. Eadch time i am launching flash process for radio, the process is beginning but stops at 0% and it fails because of a connection problem (error 262)
Could someone tells me what is the problem and helps me?
I have searche d everywhere in the forum. I ve heard about a unsigned and signed SPL. Maybe it's the same trick about RUU and I haven t got the good one...? Could someone just give me a link to the radio version 10.0.25.05 and to the Diamond Custom RUU I could use?
I am afraid to brick my phone...
Thanks for you answer

But even folowing the instructions my update is still locked at 0% and tells me an error 262.

Using signed Hard-SPL?
Use this this to flash your radio : http://htcroms.aplace4u.biz/signed/radio/Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.rar
Hi Corian,
Thnaks to you I ve finaly flashed my radio!
Your trick was the good one.
Now I am trying to install a new rom casue i dont like the 0.95 bepe elite.
I have exactly the same problem with every flash i am attempting. It stays at 0% and tells me a 262 error.
My SPL is olinex 1.30.
Could you tell me whats the best and if you can give me the link to download the good files.
I d like to install an official HTC Rom and maybe for this i have to change the SPL?
Thanks for your great help.
HI,
Finally I have solved all py problems.
The problem was coming from the hard SPL I had installed.
I ve managed to change the hard spl which wasn t possible. I had to force the mode bootloadrer and then the hard spl was flashed and replaced by 1.40 Olinex unsigned.
Then I flashed rom and radio and splash screen without any problem.
In fact the whole thing about drvier Vista wasn t the problem I think.
Thanks to Corian who helped me to identify the source of the problem : incompatibility with hard spl taking only signed things.
How do I remove HardSPL so that I can load my factory rom for a warranty return?
Can I just the load the vendors ROM or will this brick my phone?
My diamond is a UK vodafone version and I have a copy of their official ROM, I read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
but it says I need the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier where would I get these?
you need to flash the ROM and Radio back first, then find a stock SPL and flash that.
MAKE SURE THE SPL IS THE LAST THING!!!
i even found the stock SPLs for u

I am not the one who asked the question but I thank you also. I don't need to reflash the rom for return but I will bookmark this just in case .
Thanks but I'm a little confused now, how do I flash the ROM and Radio back first and what is the SPL then. I followed the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411 but I think these are the roms aren't they?
Yes, those are the ROMs. They do also include the radio.
Just use either the original RUU Updater to upload it to the phone or the patched one from OliNex.
After that you have to upload the original SPL.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39

mugglesquop. Thank you for the original SPLs but I dont see the UK orange stock SPL listed...Can I use any 1.37 SPLs????
I used the search function on this forum and could not find the stock uk orange SPL. Thanks.
Afaik there are no stock orange spl. Standard spl (same version) should work.
To be sure, get a orange rom and extract the spl from there.
viperbjk. Thank you for the info. I extracted an orange ROM and found a file named "RUU_signed.nbh". I believe this is the bootloader file that I will need to load after installing the original orange ROM.
Hopefully this will work and can send my Diamond back to orange.Thanks
The RUU_signed.nbh is normally the complete rom package. You have to extract it, to see if SPL is in it.
Cya,
Viper BJK
I can confirm there is no "orange" SPL
Dear Friends;
I've done HardSPL and installed Cooked ram (downloaded from XDA) several times, but recently I heared that by installing non-original ROMs the Guarantee will be invoked. It is easilly possible to back to original ROM but is it possible to back to original CID lock as well? I dont want loose the Guarantee....
I will be appreciated if the firends kindly help me.
Best Regards
Darius
As far as I know you can go back to your original SPL, but dont quote me on it.
Wait for a better answer from someone more experienced.
at the same place where u got the hard spl, the author probably provided the stock spl for warranty purposes.
so what u need before u send it back to service is:
stock spl, stock rom, and stock radio (probably u remember which came with it).
any ways, just read the hard spl thread, and u have the answer.
don't do nothing without first reading what u are doing
easy!
hi, simply install an ORIGINAL HTC rom and it return with rom and original CID.
Bye, felix
AFAIK installing another rom also the HTC default ones are not giving back the CID when u unlocked it, if you wrote the CID down you can do it with the CID unlocker of OliNex there u can write in the CID u want to set.
The problem with stock SPL is dicussed many times ! a whole thread is there for that.

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!
Please help...

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

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.

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?
