Offical Rom SSPL loadermethod for p3600 d810 m700 with noSPL noIPL noRadio

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

- 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.
Mind telling me what's hard SPL for?

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.

probably a n00b question :)

hello, i am kinda new to this scene, but i mean no harm
I don't know everything but am eager to learn.
so i gonna ask some newbee questions and maybe i didn't read everything but hell, there is no harm asking
i just bought the diamond (in the dutch language, i've seen a couple more dutch ppl so if there is some one that knows alot, please add me @ msn : Deleted for Users Privacy You don't know Which Creep will add you, Use the Safe PM Method)
now i have some questions
- how can i extract my current rom? and can i use that extracted rom as a backup when i accidentily flash the wrong rom, or just want to have it back to the old way
- what is hard spl, i know it has something to do with the signing of other roms than the original rom, what are the dangers about flashing the spl, can it do any harm to my diamond? and can i go back to the original settings (and also, how about warranty?)
- before i had the Diamond, i had the Herald (P4350) and i bricked it twice, can this also happen with the diamond? or isn't that possible couze the SPL can be flashed (it wasn't possible with my p4350, thats why it was bricked )
i ask this questions becouse i want to get the maximum from my diamond, but i also have a contract on my provider and can't get a new phone in 2 years, don't want to waste my diamond on a stupid accident
if you think i am a noob, i am. but don't reply if you don't have any thing intresting to tell.
please don't tell me to use the search, becouse there are verry much topics and i can't get an hold of it, that's why i am asking it here.
Thank you verry much,
regards,
Sam

Im not ENORMOUSLY qualified to answer the SPL questions in depth but the General purpose of using HardSPL is that your device is freed up to use ANY ROM you wish (it has to be a diamond rom though). Hence your device is not limited to ROMs by your carrier:
Originally if you bought a Tmobile handset it is usually CID locked to only allow tmobile ROMS, with HArdSPL it allows any diamond ROM, so you could use on by HTC...or a cooked ROM found on this forum!
Also HardSPL has had a tradition of safeguarding against some of the types of brick possible, this may be the case with the version for the diamond but id probably let cmonex or olipro comment on that as im not too sure.
By adding the signing of ROMS and radios etc...this has removed the possibility of ROMs being flashed which are known to brick devices, wether it is intentional or just an accident by a ROM chef. Only allowing signed images to be flashed makes it alot safer for the majority of users.

Just a note: I would not advise to post your e-mail in a public forum, unless you dig spam.

yeah i know, but hell, it's only my gmail accout. got a lots of those

Maybe that is his allowed to have spam address
Anyway these questions are the same resting on my shoulders .... sadly my thread got closed.
All we want to know is how we .... backup the ROM before flashing and restoring it.
I figured the phone consists of the following:
IPL (Initial Program Loader) ... this is like a BIOS for your phone.
SPL (Secondary Program Loader) ... this will boot the actual OS.
ROM ... this is the part where WM61 etc all is?
Ext_ROM ... this is the part where HTC has put all its customizations like TF3D?
So when we use this HardSPL, we only flash the SPL ... ROM stays intact? And how do we make a backup of all this?
Also why is a hard-reset needed if only the SPL is being flashed? It would just startup and boot your ROM, or am I mistaken?
Maybe once Ive gained more knowledge about these nifty phones, I can contribute to the community too like you all do. Maybe I'll just start a "Total noob guide to the HTC Diamond" ... all I need is a start, I want to flash this thing ASAP .... but I first want to get a few simple answers which arent 100% answered by the wiki or forums (mainly how to backup ROM, radio etc etc etc BEFORE flashing).
Meh my posts tend to get longer than expected on new forums

@sfjuocekr:
- Diamond does not have an extrom.
- read kaiser/polaris/niki/etc.. (msm7xxx devices) forums and wiki, 95% of what is said there applies for the diamond too. Apply common sense to decide what is device specific or not.
Hope that serves you as a start, for example, to answer your question about rom dumping, compare these two threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382609
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
And apply common sense, so you'll se it's the same for diamond.

no IPL for diamond, the radio bootloader does that job.
the rest was said by pof very nicely
btw note: when you try to apply shift/kaiser commands to dump the rom, make sure you change the sizes in the commands, to match the pdocread -l info.

Does this mean that HardSPL is not necessary (but advisable) if your device is not CID locked to any carrier but bought directly from HTC?
Apologies for the next noob question...

HTC devices are still CID locked....to HTC ROMs, no device you can buy is SuperCID afaik.

As soon as I'm home Ill read more about it and maybe post my finding is a uniform Diamond thread ...
Also the sketch from the layout ... I made up from information I found all over the forums and wiki, I do apply common sense but I still have limited knowhow about how these phones work.
Anyway thanks alot, Ill be trying to backup my phone asap when I arrive home from work (I work for Tele2/Versatel ... dont be scared I wont do any harm )

Got you...

Seems, after reading while working, these dumps are not the biggest helpers. As in we can't yet use them to rebuild the original ROM? I might have overlooked something, will investigate further this evening after work.
My question now still is, does this also update radio and SPL?
So the HTC Diamond basicly consists of a radio ROM, then the SPL and then goes into HTC ROM with WM61 etc ...?
So upgrading to HardSPL ... doesnt touch your current ROM and allows it to boot into it fine or does it need to be signed? Why is the hardreset needed then?
Anyway Im probably asking the same questions found on other parts of the forum, sorry for that if it annoys people around here. I just want to get started with a full backup, that is restorable ... as in that I can restore my phone to factory defaults ... if needed
I have alot of coding and hardware experience, which might help the community some day when I gain more knowledge. My age was the homemade EEPROM programmers and big ZIF-sockets business, you probably know what Im aiming for

I second that. Is there a way to do a full backup and restore to factory defaults after using hardspl and cooked roms?

SPL: you can take it from an official rom (nbhextract), if its the same version that you have, or you can dump it from the device before HardSPL'ing it. (see one of the previous threads I linked on how to pmemdump the SPL).
Radio:you can take it from an official rom (nbhextract), if its the same version that you have.
OS: Search how to reconstruct a dumped ROM, again, apply common sense

that's just standard RUU procedure. you can hack the RUU exe to not send task 28 to cause the SPL to hard reset.

SPL from phone 3 Branded Swedish

Hi!
I wonders if anyone has the original spl from 3 Branded Swedish Touch diamond?
To make it clean again (restore) for a warranty service.
The SPLs that where here didn't work with the update on HTC homepage.

This is the update anyway.
