How to verify Hard-SPL is installed? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi everyone,
I recently SIM-unlocked my phone with Olipro's unlocker (from http://diamond.htc-unlocks.com/) and whilst I went through the three steps to:
- install Hard-SPL (which seemed to run/install something on the device - it certainly went through the motions),
- install a specially-patched radio
- perform the SIM unlock
This all worked fine but when I reset with the volume-down button I get the following info on the tri-colour screen:
Code:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.35.0000
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x30
Serial
From what I can gather it ought to to say Olipro (Olinex?) somewhere but mine doesn't... does that mean Hard-SPL did not get installed?

Try to download an flash Hard-spl 1.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
After that check if the spl version has change to 1.4...

Thanks Söderström. Is the fact that it is 'unsigned' an issue? I'm getting well confused with all this (my fault I'm sure) - perhaps I should adopt the approach of 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'?
Having gone looking for a signed v1.40 I found what appears to be the (one of several?) official Hard-SPL thread however the first post discuss v1.37 and v1.93 yet the version of the two attachments are v1.38 and not mentioned! Later on in the thread it appears that the 'attachment with no version mentioned' is actually v1.40...
The post also states that this procedure will hard-reset my phone - is this true? If so, I think I'm better of leaving well alone... I assume that I only need Hard-SPL should I update the ROM in which case a hard-reset will not be an issue in those circumstances.
[Edit: Reading the thread properly I think I've now sussed that the unversioned attachment is indeed v1.40 and that v1.93 does not feature at all. That clarifies that a little, but what about the hard-reseting? The unlocking process, which (supposedly) included installing Hard-SPL, didn't require a hard-reset - why should this?]
Mathew

Try the attached file. (Sorry for not posting link to the original page. Was bored to find it!!)
And Hard spl will NOT reset your device.

Unsigned is better than signed becuase signed the team behind Hard-spl must verify the rom.. Use Unsigned and read the theard carefully before flashing.....
You can backup all your contacts, call history, message... with pimbackup (free)

Thank you both. What I think I'll do is wait until I update the ROM - I've come to the conclusion that I don't need Hard-SPL right now and so if I wait until I do update the ROM it won't matter if it hard-resets or not. To be honest I'm sure I'd be staying quite 'mainstream' hence I imagine they'd be signed anyway.
It's still very confusing - OliNex's post could not be more clear in stating that INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE (this is stated separately and in addition to the hard-reset warning using the SSPLManual method).
Thanks again for your time - much appreciated.

[UPG]Hard-SPL Unlocker - Developer Edition

OK Guys,
This is a placeholder for Hard-SPL Dev edition - recommended for ROM Cookers and Developers only.
it's the same as the other except it doesn't require signing and blocks overwriting.
------------------
Done, see next post.
[size=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/size]
here's unsigned version of Hard-SPL - what you've been waiting for!
[size=+1]ok, here it is now as I said the wait would be max 2 weeks in the *worst* case. well the case is much better than that [/size]
this is only for people who know what they are doing!!! newbies who aren't sure what roms to flash, should go with the signed version of hardSPL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402
Installation Instructions are the same:
1) Download, extract to an empty folder.
2) Run RomUpdateUtility.exe, Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile
3) follow steps, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar. it should go to black screen now.
4) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
5) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (volume down + reset, i.e. press volume down button and reset then keep holding the volume down key until you see tricolour screen) and verify the screen shows 1.40.OliNex.
note: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- read the instructions.
- Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically (your device doesn't even go to black screen), please copy SSPLManual.exe to the device and run it. then once the screen is black, run RUU manually (you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious).
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to black screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
- if SSPL-Manual.exe or enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or similar), try a hard reset of the device.
- CDMA (Sprint or Telus) diamonds need my other hardspl:, head over to: CDMA (not GSM) diamond hardspl - ONLY use this if your diamond does not use GSM protocol for radio!!! otherwise you will brick the device!!!
NOTE: this has overwrite protection, so don't try flashing another SPL using HardSPL.
if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, we will soon post a stock SPL downgrade package.
enjoy!
UPDATE 1: 1.37 Hard-SPL
for those who need 1.37 due to some screen fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds, here it is with hardspl patches:
- Developer Edition: can flash unsigned code. Version: 1.37.OliNex
- Signed Edition: can only flash preapproved signed code. Version: 1.38.OliNex
please see Attachment below for Developer Edition!!
for Signed Edition, see the signed HardSPL thread of course.
I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG. only flash the 1.37 if you experience the fuzzy display issue.
UPDATE 2: 1.93 Hard-SPL
if someone's diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally, maybe this HardSPL based on 1.93 will work better than the olders. I have a report that someone has black screen with older SPL's.
but even if your diamond didn't come with 1.93 stock, but 1.37 doesn't fix screen problems (fuzzy screen, flickering, etc.), it is recommended to try this 1.93 HardSPL.
if your diamond works fine with original HardSPL, no need to flash this one.
Version: 1.93.OliNex
IMPORTANT: all in all, I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG and easier to deal with if there is some problem. only flash the 1.37 or 1.93 if you have screen issues.
if it was some other version and you still have issues after trying 1.37 and 1.93, then let us know in this thread.
STOCK SPL's: to return to stock SPL for warranty reasons: read post #39 in this thread!!!
aborts about 588kb into the download for me.
Hey, Many thanks for all you work, it is working !!
Downloaded and installed fine for me.
Many thanks Oli/Nex
Check ur internet connection. Download is working 100% fine
Good timing, thanks a lot!
lovely....
That was one short 2 weeks
What is the difference between signed and unsigned spl?
Is this working when connecting the Diamond to Vista? I get an app CLOSE/DEBUG exception when I try to run it on Vista (x64). My diamond is the Asia 1.34 version.
Does it work?
Hi Olipro,
Does this one work equally well for SPL 1.23 and 1.34/1.35? There were some discussion about 1.34 locking up the Diamonds with now ways of going back to 1.23? Please advise,

It means you can only install signed ROM's, i.e ones form HTC, Carriers, or ones signed by Olinex and the other people in Elite Team. And they won't sign ranodm crap, so gives you safety- if it's signed, it's ok to flash it.
Unsigned means you can install any random ROM you like, cook your own easily and install it without any fuss.

Not stupid.. confused

Ok I have read.. and read and read about upgrading roms and hard spl etc
I have never done this before so am a total newbie
I read that I should get Hard-SPL 1.40 Olinex SIGNED from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402
I saw that others were confused here but it seems that the file I needed was the 'top one' Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip
I downloaded that and ran the installation... during this installation it stated it was upgrading from 3.97 to 3.0 (or similar..)
Anyway on the multi colour screen it now says I have 3.0 olinex
I downloaded the radio Radio v1.00.25.05 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
when I run it it stays on the screen with the loading bar and eventually fails (error 262 update error).. the phone always reboots correctly
.. I downloaded RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe
I tried to run this and again it all stopped at the status bar point at 0%
The phone recovered fine..
my multi colour screen now shows the following..
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.30.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (Led) v11
PSOC-DIAM STAGE_PVT v0x30
I know that a lot of people have put a lot of effort into developing these roms and I am gratefull.. but i am confused.
My phone works but i would like it to work at its optimum. The sheer amount of threads and files is a bit overwhelming.
Can someone explain simply (and directly) what i need here. or link me to the files I would need to sort this out.
Like I said.. i have read these forums. ... it got me to this point.
I think you have to install an unsigned HARD SPL.
Olinex one is for SIGNED ROMS, so install HARD SPL 1.24
Yes , you need the unsigned HARD SPL v 1.40 by Olinex.
than you can flash every rom u want. good luck
Unsigned is freedom.
..see
Right..
thanks for the replies
this is typical of what confuses me though..
One reply says to get HARD SPL 1.24 and the other HARD SPL 1.40
I cant see the 1.40 version on here (A link to it would be wonderful) .. and when I tried to use the 1.24 version the phone again does nothing.. the status bar stays at 0% and I get the error
Error 262 update error
The 1.24 file I used was from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415191
Hard-SPL 1.40 is what I used (as did a lot of other people). But the link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705. It is the Unsigned developer edition. After installing this, you should be able to flash any OS Rom or radio ROM you desire (for the diamond, that is).

pls help me rhodium from t mobil doesnt work after upgrade to 6.5

Ok, please come down...
Let me guide and help you...
First of all it is good that you have done Hard-SPL !
So, if you ROM went BAD and you can not do anything with your Rhodium...
There is a thing that you can do...
Please, follow those steps:
1. Take the cover of the cell phone, and search for the SOFT-RESET hole at the
RIGHT (other side from the VOLUME up/down).
2. Press the VOLUME DOWN, hold it and than SOFT-RESET.
It will take you to tree colour page for BootLoader screen.
3. Connect the device to the computer and try to Flash the ROM again
(or other ROM...).
Good Luck !!
Any help, just ask for it...
hi
Doesn't work from boot laoder too I think the is no radio flash because I can't see olinex in trial color just 5 or 6 Kobe of numr
i think the Hard SPL V2_00R3_185 file you downloaded is corrupted. i also downloaded today but couldn't extract it.
That s mean my device is brick dead
Try this: Download any GSM ROM from this forum (I like EnergyROM Leo), unzip it, and rename the .nbh to "RHODIMG.nbh" (without the quotes) if it isn't already called that. Copy that onto a MicroSD card (that is formatted to FAT32), and put that in your device. Now, go into the bootloader (power off the device, then press Power and Volume Down) then follow the instructions. Hopefully you just had a bad flash, and reflashing will solve it.
I will try but I think my phone is no radio flashed yet bcuz I can't see olinex in bootloader

Oh, if it doesn't say 0.85.OliNex, then you're still on a stock SPL, so my suggestion won't work. Try flashing the TMobile stock ROM for your device, and retry the HardSPL process (I would advise redownloading everything to ensure it's not corrupt).

Calm down
First of all, posting 2 new threads and commenting in the NRG thread is called spamming, stop it. It'll be much easier for you to get the help you need by sticking with one thread (I imagine the Mod is going to do that for you). Second, blasting your email address and phone number publically is bad practice, you open yourself up for a massive email spam list and phone pranks. I suggest you go in and edit your post as soon as possible and delete that information out. Thirdly, I'm guessing English is not your native language, if it isn't I suggest typing the problem out in your own language, use a translation software (I think Google Docs has this feature), and post the translation into the forum. This will help with clarity of what's going on.
Now with all that said, my final suggestion would be to tell us exactly what you have done to the phone IN THE ORDER that you've done it, up until the point that you're at now. Also, being that you bought this phone off a craigslist (another mistake imho, I'd rather just spend the extra $$ for the warranty and piece of mind that it's from the manufacturer/carrier directly), tell us what condition the phone was in to begin with. Did it come with NRGZ ROM preloaded, or the stock ROM? Was it locking up before you decided to reflash? Did you read the Flashing Guide stickied to the top of this forum before flashing your phone? (If not, let this serve as a reminder to all other newbie's looking to flash to READ BEFORE YOUR MOD!)
We're going to try and help you, correzzola, but you need to take a breath and calm down. It's just a phone, granted a lot of money, but you're not suffering onto the point of bloodshed so it's all going to be okay.
From the look of it, you HardSPL'd, flashed a cooked ROM, then removed HardSPL. Huh... that's probably not good. Try flashing this T-Mobile US ROM (I'm assuming you have a T-Mobile US TP2) while in the bootloader, and see if that solves it (or even flashes at all). If that doesn't work, I'm honestly not 100% sure what to do next, since I've never heard of anyone doing this before.
Firstly, STOP SPAMMING THE BOARD!!! - you will only annoy people and make them less likely to help you.
Secondly, Read what Dave (the Tytn Guy) has posted and let us know what happens, any more problems post in this thread and I'll see what I can suggest.

I just got the phone from Shanghai, from my dad. He's tried to change the language for me, but even though it's set as English (Canada), it's still all in Chinese!
I've been researching all day and looked through all the websites. I have downloaded numerous ROMs which could possibly help me. I downloaded the ones with WWE or UNI in their names so that they'd turn my phone's language to English I believe?
I attached screenprints of what it looks like.
Everytime I tried to sync them, it would immediately restart my phone, the phone will go to the coloured screen,then will turn white and have a bar that stays at 0%. Then on my computer it would say:

This error message indicates that RUU cannot start the update process. Please contact your service provider for assistance.

I have no idea what they mean except that I think I need to upgrade my SPL in order to install the HardSPL that I downloaded. It says I need a version 1.40. something..but I don't know how to get that. I went to the official website and my serial number would not work for the downloads in the support section.
I'm stuck and I couldn't sleep because I've been trying to fix this problem! Ugh please help me. I've seen posts where other people have solved similar problems but their solutions do not apply to my case. I don't care about how difficult it may be. I just want my phone in English! I have no idea how to navigate around the phone in Chinese.

I don't know what this did for my phone...but I think it has a new SPL? What do I do from here to make my phone english?
It's currently still in mandarin or something. I want to download the right ROM but I have so many...which should I try? Do I run HardSPL before or after flashing?

Which should I try? some of them do not display the picture of my phone. Therefore should I not flash those?
I just tried flashing all of the files that displayed a photo of my phone..
It would immediately turn off, go to the coloured screen, and then go to a greyish white screen showing a percentage bar. It would stop at 1% and restart my phone. On my computer, it would say "Error 244: Invalid Model ID" Sorry for posting so many times..
Right now my phone's rom is still: 1.93.706.1 CHS (which i believe means chinese?)
Now you have to flash RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip from link above. the 244 invalid model also happened to me before i flash 1.93 version. you have to flash hardspl before the rom.
My personal opinion don't flash official rom that you wrote above, because it will take many memory. Choose cooked one.
For the best wm6.5 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678
For the best wm6.1 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408109
You may want to start with reading the stickies on the top first. There you will find all necessary information.
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Basically, after the HardSPL you are able to flash one of the cooked ROMs (and thereby to change the language of the ROM to English /WWE).
You may want to change the Radio as well.
If you got a Dopod version of the Diamond (for mainland China) you will lack of WLAN support regardless the ROM.
Good luck!
IT WORKED! thank you SO much. I'm extremely ecstatic. <3

[Q] ROM Update stays at 0% - help needed

Dear All,
this time, I have a problem and need your help, please.
I just bought a new (used, but not by me ) HTC Touch Diamond. Hard-SPL (1.37 from whoever) was installed.
First MTTY'ed the device - with success (set 14 0, task 29, task 8)
Wanted to install OliNex 1.40 first
Started ROM-Update, everything went fine, screen of Diamond changed into "bar display" - but stays there with 0%
Tried several flashes (OliNex, ROM, Radio - everything the same)
Does anybody have a hint for me what to do? Identifier seems ok, DIAM100 is shown in intial bootloader screen (three color-screen)
I appreciate any hint.
With kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Radio
Downgrade your radio to one below 1.02.XXX before flashing the unlocked radio
Full instructions to unlock your diamond are here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749201
Once you have done this, you can flash any ROM you like
Dear Dave,
thank you very much for your support.
Unfortunately it didn't help but showed everytime the same picture - stuck in the bar at 0% and doesn't do anything.
I tried STEP 1, STEP 2 and downgrading to radio 1.00.25.05 (but actually I don't know which is actually installed, as the Diamond never reaches the Touch Diamond page with ROM & HW Info, it stucks in the Touch Diamond page with no information at all, if started not in Bootloader mode)
It seems to me that the bootloader itself could be corrupted or the model number (shows DIAM100 in Bootloader) is somewhat corrupted, as I know that the internal storage consists of more digits (like DIAM10000 or so) - and a way to fix it with MTTY? But I can't find a description of the MTTY tasks of the Diamond.
Any more Idea?
Thank you Dave, and all the others who read and think, in advance.

Can you get into Bootloader mode by holding down
Volume down button + Back button (Bottom right button) + Press reset with the pen
Then keep pressed the first two buttons and let go of reset, keep hold of the first two buttons until it reaches the bootloader mode
If you can do this, then reboot and put the radio onto the storage card (4GB one) and enter bootloader mode, then folllow instructions on that screen to flash the radio, and you can do the same for the rom
It sounds to me like maybe you have not managed to flash the HardSPL properly
Hi Dave!
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes, I can anter bootloader mode. But nothing more. Flash is not possible. Hard-SPL was the first thing I tried to flash but it also remained at 0%
How can I put files on the internal storage card from within bootloader mode? (Phone is not booting, ONLY bootloader mode is accessible...) I never encountered this before...
But I can reach the phone with MTTY.. can I access the storage card through this?
X
Have your tried different HardSPL versions ?
Im not sure what is wrong... if you are in Bootloader mode, and the USB drivers are installed and you have activesync running on the PC it should update no problem
I would make sure all the above is true, and attempt different HardSPLs
I think that is the issue as you wont be able to flash an unlocked radio or custom rom without HardSPL being flashed first
Here is another version you could try
http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/
EDIT - And I dont know if there is a way to access the storage card from MTTY or bootloader, my guess is that you wont be able to
Also, this is a GSM Diamond right ? Not a CDMA ? (UK Networks are GSM)
CDMA flash is here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-diam...ond_c-cdma-sspl-hardspl-package-here-now.html
Hi Dave!
Yes, it's GSM. Thanks for your help and the links provided - it didn't help.
I tried various Hard-SPLs: OliNex 1.20, 1.30, 1.37, 1.40 and 1.93 (developers)
Result - all the same: standstill at 0%
I've seen in MTTY that I have an "upload" menu item - but need there the start address and command line for Diamond plus to know what it is meant for, I will try to find out... and if there is some new know-how out of this, I will post it here, in order that future GENERATIONS may find it *laugh*
Dave? THANKS!

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.
------------
Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!
Long answer: First you need to understand that there are two definitions of "signed". HTC and the mobile operators sign ROMs so that the RUU flash utility allows them to be flashed. Usually this is what the word "signed" in the filename means.
Then there is another definition of signed: The developers of HardSPL introduced their own signing process. They want to ensure that people flashing cooked ROMs can rely on a certain quality standard. The normal version of HardSPL will only allow ROMs signed by OliNex to be flashed. If the ROM you are about to flash is signed, it will say so in the thread you got it from. If it isn't signed, you will need the developer version of HardSPL. That one will allow any ROM to be flashed. Get it at the bottom of this posting.
A note on this: The signing process by olinex makes sure that the ROM you're about to flash won't brick your device. It doesn't mean all other ROMs are necessarily evil.

Ok, lol Another possible !
Maybe your friend flashed a Signed HardSPL which means you can only flash Signed radios and roms until you flash another unsigned HardSPL
If the Radio you are trying to downgrade to is unsigned that could explain the issue... try and find a Signed radio below version 1.02.XXX and try to flash that, then try to flash to another Unsigned HardSPL, if the radio flash goes ok.

Update stops at 0%
Short answer: You're running the normal HardSPL and you're trying to flash an unsigned (not signed by olinex) ROM. You need the developer version which fixes the 0% issue. Link is at the bottom of this post. Read on to understand the difference between Standard/Developer Edition!

This is the answer. I used to have the same problem because when I bought my diamond I thought everything runs the same as the TyTN but ...
So to cut this story short, almost 90% of the 0% bar situations are because U R not using signed roms. However if Ya want to then use the unsigned HardSPL.
Hi Dave & Nazgul,
it seems that my case belonst to the non-90%
Of course I tried all this, but I have THREE diamonds - two were branded by the Swiss Swisscom (this is, in fact, the same image as the German Vodafone branding), one was the original HTC version
I'm flashing Diamonds since two years though.
My fault this time was, that I THOUGHT, this new one were HardSPL'ed, but it wasn't - and formatted the device using MTTY without Hard-SPL.
After that I had the above mentioned situation.
NO Hard-SPL was flashable - as written above - also noth the unsigned developer 1.93 edition - it always remained at 0%
I managed in the meantime to flash the original Vodafone/Swisscom ROM. So I have back the device in the official configuration (HTC Swisscom 1.97 package http://www.swisscom-mobile.ch/scm/d...pa=0x0x147x18x0x0x0x0x0&odg=SoftwareAndManual)
But - this uses Radio 1.08.xxx and I would like to downgrade because I think, Dave's hint above to use a radio before 1.02.xxx would be worth a try.
BUT - I STILL can't flash anything. Neither ANY Hard-SPL nor any Radio version nor any ROM.
The bar remains at 0%
I tried to find the original (first edition) of the Swisscom ROM Package, which used the Radio 1.00.25.05 - and then to try Dave's proposed steps.. but I can't find it anymore - all you can find is the "latest" package...
So I would still appreciate any help to be able to flash. Ok, now at least, I have a usable phone... but... I wanted to use it (as the other two) for ROM development testing, so who wants to have a PHONE!?!?
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Here is your radios
Sorry for the short post, I have a really bad hangover lol

Morn' Dave!
I tried them all - none of them was flashable... same 0%-bar.
I thought of having the V 1.00 complete official Swisscom-Pack and as part of it, the radio 1.00.25.05, which is included. Seems to me, that the c(complete) official ROM pack is flashable.
THEN I could re-try to flash Hard-SPL (with then installed radio below 1.02.xxx)
Hangover? What's this?

YEa that might work, it is almost certain the issue is the HARDSpl being either not flashed, or flashed with a signed version
Good luck !!
And the hangover is nearly gone... I cured yesterdays with more alcohol lol
Have you tried these UNSIGNED dev HARDspls ?

Hi Dave - GOT IT, solved
The "secret" was to flash noit from withi boot loader but from within Win Mobile with ActiveSync/Windows Device Center connected.
Then say "Yes" when "enterbootloader.exe" was asked to be installed/invoked.
Then the Device rebooted, flashed Hrd-SPL 1.40 correctly - and everything else onwards went fine.
Thanks a lot for your assitance, Dave and others.
Kind regards from Switzerland - Christoph
Ah.. I thought you were already using the Activesync and CustomRUU to flash it with !
Yes, the ROMs and Radios can be flashed from the storage card, but the Hard SPL needs to be done from Activesync / CUstomRUU
Pleased you got it working anyway
