please don't use this, working 3.08 SPL is better than broken 2.20 SPL
unless you are rich and can trust a foolish Palesinian all attack him lets see what can this make for you
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1449114&postcount=21
I'm pretty sure that G3 SPL willl work, but where are the problems, if pdocwrite ended in the middle of writing the SPL it will make primary part of SPL 2.20 and the other part SPL 3.08 and will make trouble so working 3.08 SPL is better than broken 2.20 SPL
here are my advices, but I think you should know them as this site for experts.
of course connect ur phone using active sync
here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1449114&postcount=21
please notice 2 bat files Paradis_G3.bat for g3 only and Paradis_G4.bat for g4 only
don't use if you don't know what G device you have
1- turn off your phone , to avoid recieving calls or sms or cell broadcast during the writing. and if you please turn off wifi and bluetooth and beam, i.e. safe mode, turn things off more than flight mode, if you can turn services notifcations all things you can turn off.
2- turn off all other apps in your phone.
3- turn off all other apps in your pc, and trun off sleep mode.
4- open task manager for windows pc (XP) and go to task see pdocwrite.exe in it, don't do anything unless it is close by its slef, and the cmd window will close by it self.
5- ask luck to make pdocwrite finish at the end of writing SPL without any problem.
6- wish me best of luck if this work, and forgive me if this didn't work and killed your phone
I tried to write the g3 SPL on my device, but if this stoped in the middle of my test, will not do anything, cause I have already SPL 2.20, I hope you understand what I mean.
please don't do it, you don't have to test this it is too risky
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1449114&postcount=21
are there any chances to work over 3.08?
it should work, acuall if some expert please help me there in this, I pretty sure it must work, but it is so risky, please consider this, it may brick your phone, while writing SPL
please can u explain whats the difference between 3.08 and 2.20?
im very interested in downgrading, but on the other hand if i do all the steps, im afraid the writing stops.
it may stop, it is so risky, it may stop I can't gaurantee, please if some expert help us here.
I write the paradis_gx.nb, kb by writing evry 32kb again, soevery 16 kb is again there, but the length I got 0x178000 but it suppose to be 0x200000 as slickdick told me, please some expert here, or please slick **** help us here.
I'm sure the lenght is 0x178000 but why in the code it is 0x200000???????
I test this in my device and worked cause I have already the SPL 2.20
the deference is 2.20 is for prohet and 3.08 is for charmer
you have a g3 you did a mistake by didn't unlock cid before doing anything

maybe you can repair your bootloader now.
I have an idea of how you could do it with g3.
Is your cid locked?
Is your phone g3 or g4?
phone
its g4 xda neo cid locked
UPDATED NOW NEW TESTS DONE. IPL SPL = 2.21
if i use prophet roms now everything is slow on device not usuable. i have to use wizard roms LOL. only problem then no sound is working. but replacing dll from prophet gives u sound back again. ........ THIS IS ****ING BULL****. anyway its usuable again now. i flashed now the fucing pbootloader of wizard into my device..........................
Hardreset does not work anymore if holding camera and other button it goes again back to bootloader now i need to find out how u do a hard reset on wizard LOL.
anyway i need a IPL AND SPL From prophet ............... extracting ipl and spl from qtek prophet and traslating it making a new nbf results in a flash process but after i stays on old IPL SPL ....................... ill report soon more about this strage problem having a wizard bootloader on Prophet.
omg this is ****ing weird
that that works is really strange^^ thank you though again you rescued my device hope its gonna work for me I'll report in the next days...
so if I'm doing thats right the whole thing is working, while you are connecting the wires get don't plug the wall chargare in so you don't have elictricity and cover up the rest of the pins im not sure if thats necessary but you don't wanna brick your phone even more the phone is turning of though as soon as you disconnect the wires... i'm having a prophet rom on it right now i'm trying a wizard rom now...
alright im running the wizard aku 3.2 rom now. its working very well except that i have to wires coming out of the back of my pda.
but ipl downgrade might be possible from there... so thank ýou alot the solution works
your welcome
i will make a paypal account now so u can donate me i guess this solution is very good and no need to pay for it =)
UPDATE: IM NOW ON 2.26 TMOBILE WIZARD NOW WITH IPL AND SPL 2.26 THIS IS WORKING ****ING GOOD AND TRUST ME ITS FASTER THAN MY PROPHET WAS EARLIER WITH PROPHET BOOTLOADER.
GET THE TMO 2.26 from FTP and flash it. it will update ur device (IPL + SPL )too 2.26 never mind of it
IPL DOWNGRADE is NO PROBLEM FOR ME u can extract rom hex edit the ipl part and version number i did that already my ipl now is again to low number (custom) 2.01 but spl i coudnt find out to edit. im working with winhex and primary memory editing since this is very dangerous i dont suggest to do it. only experienced users should do that
WARNING WARNING WARNING !!!!
I WANT TO REPEAT AT THIS POINT AGAIN DONT TRY THIS ON WORKING DEVICE!!! ITS JUST A SOLUTION IF UR DEVICE IS ALREADY DEAD!!!!!!

can u take a pic for the wires?
wires
NO need to i will explain in detail.
1. Take ur phone and put it on ur table =)
2. Turn it so u can see the camera
3. On the right u see 6 Pins.
4. The Pin 1 is nearest to Camera
5. Pin 5 would be far away from camera.
u got it now ?
it worked for me with the sixth pin to by the way but that might be why it doesn't work without the wires for me yet.
did you cover up the other pins alphazero?
you were able to flash a lower bootloader back onto the device right with some kind of hexedit application or something?
I think a lot of users would be glad if you could upload a rom that can downgrade the ipl and spl including me , as you said it requires a lot of skill to cook the right rom...
thanks man
Just a quick one. If you can downgrade the ipl and spl to 1.xx.0000 or 1.xx.0001, could it be possible to do CID unlocking?
Downgrade
I could do compile a rom that downgrades ipl to whatever u want. the spl is coded and i need to find the place in a spl rom where version id is written.
i found out that the update rom process checks version id.
so theory is fooling of a lower rom a higher rom id. this means your downgrade rom will have a higher rom id.
im working on it right now. i have to do some test on university right now like many others please be patient.

Status: IPL DOWNGRADE OF ANY G4 successfull !
SPL DOWNAGE OF ANY G4 under work !
haha be patient and 2 minutes later you post it
spl 2.21 is working normally on the prophet anyway doesn't it?
can you upload that downgrade?
how is it coming ...did you find out anything new?
if you manage to downgrade ipl and spl to prophet version you are where you were before you flashed the wizard rom right?
answer
yes it would solve the accident wizard g4 rom flash on prophet!
but isnt spl on the prophet 2.21 anyways and only ipl is 2.15?
Dear Alphazero is it possible to solve wrong flashed g3 with jesterz g4 rom so now i can be only in bootloader mode and i can start flashing my prophet but please tell me how and what with On my bootloader screen now is written IPL 2.10 and SPL 2.20.0001. Please help me repair my prophet if it is possible
Should I do something with cutting battery pins?
uhm no the battery pins was because our device did only turn on if it was plugged into the charger, which meant you couldn't plug it into the usb at the same time to flash a new rom.
your problem is different and can't be solved with that solution... sorry sd goldcard i guess
Yes but i can only connect to mini usb and from bootloader i can flash it with battery full so please tell me shell i cut some pins from the battery and what with should i try to flash
Hi Guys,
i pointed out that if you have G4 you wont be able to bring it back to the original stand-so you will loose your warranty in any case if you update your G4 model with new ipl/spl cause so far i know there is no way to downgrade it again.You wont be able to install original Software until your device is CID locked and there is no solution for cid unlocking for G4 so far.

There is no free CID unlock, it's different
And you be able to install original software but not able to install official Operating System from other country , really different.
you can flash any Rom you want without any CID unlocked, just you can't downgarde the SPL, so just remove the SPL from any rom, so you are the Newbie here, there was a lot of threads bout this, sorry
IPL SPL, the software that runs the hardware, it is like bios of the motherboard or firmware of any hardware, it is important to update them

ähm sorry...but in any case -then tell me please how to get back the warranty it is not possible or?if you update ipl/spl what happens normally just by updating your os with the files you can download from here-gullums etc. then there is no way back to install the original updates from o2.Sure you can CID unlock for money- who wants that?i want it for free but there is no solution.So i started this thread juust to warn noObs not to update cause there is no way back without paying.got it? also i flashed my phone without ipl/spl i ve never said it doesnt work but i guess doing that wont give back warranty cause they also check ipl and spl and see that the device has been upgraded with some other versions->warranty gone.So instead of telling me what to post and saying that im the "dumb" you should bring solutions or simply not comment this thread-cause nobody could helped me with my problem i got no answers,so now to answer this thread is anything but not useful-sry guys my opinion

thank you for this thread but i already know it,even it is possible to install the different os versions without CID lock by following steps in this thread you wont be able to use the updates provided on the O2 site and IPL / SPL is still different to the originial ones-i wanted to sell my phone i have 1 year warranty left but i guess it doenst matter-who would buy a prophet with warranty if O2 would say it as none,cause it has being modified and who would buy a prophet if you are not able to install original software without spending money for this or something like that.but thx for your help
online warranty, will check the SPL? is that what you mean?
you may wait for my solution to write SPL using pdocwrite,
IPL can be downgrade without any problem, only spl has the problem, and if you write the SPL using pdocwrite, and install all using nb2nbf it will be again your old phone
SPL has nothing to do with OS, if you just install os.nb and extention.nb, no one can check it online,
I think, you may download your o2 orginial rom, and extract the nb files, make new one without only SPL it will work and maybe the supports guys will not notice, it will be your phone again
untell I write how to write the SPL using pdocwrite, if you restore your old SPL even the HTC support can't notice you istalled other roms
I had 2 modified prophet back to warranty and they don't check the IPL/SPL stuff.... lol do you think they care about that ? And spend a tech to check dead devices for boot loaders ? no way
Maybe HTC do, but then they don't care anymore.
You just have to put your old rom back.... if you had back it up or are able to find a download that suits.
@paradis_pal: if I understood correctly, your solution will downgrade the IPL/SPL but with a higher version number to fake the protection, so it will still appear as modified
no, using pdocwrite will flash 2.20 again
and you misunderstood me, I was writing what charliess was thinking, I think no one will check the SPL as you wrote, if you read my first post in this thread you wouldn't misunderstood me
Hello
Are there anyone who can help me Flashing my Wizard to a touch?

Okay, here it is:
My cousin has a S200 and i have a wizard, i went to him and he said "Oh yea, of course i know how", so we used a program i think Sspl and to the left there was a picture of his prophet and we pressed "upgrade" so my problem is now that i have a strange rom on my phone, and belive me, its VERY slow and when i want to see battery status it says "Unknown" and it doesnt recharge i think (No orange light). My phone is CID locked, so i want to unlock it, but when connecting to a computer it doesnt connect proberly. Fx. in Wizard service Tool i can "Enab. Rapi + Unsigned Apps" but i cant Read Cid, it says my device isnt connected. (Wish i could before) so i need help down grading to my old software and unlocking and finally, flash it to a touch...

Hi,
Im have a G4 mda vario!
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.0001
original software t-mobile.
Im trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to wm6. Some topics say to unlock CID but with a G4 you must pay for it. Other topic say use hard spl or soft spl is this also for CID unlocking?? I dont know annymore so can someone help me?? The steps I need to make to install wm6 on my device.
And for the best wm6 rom on htc wizard aka mda vario.
Thnx!
Kevin
i have tmobile mda vario
i am running tnt 1933 which seems to be for me at least the best all round rom. and its as stable if not more than stock wm5
i used soft spl.
you should read the instructions fully and make sure you are happy before proceding.
I recommend.
1) Hard reset
2) hook up to pc and run wizard service tool (search the forum) and use this to enable rapi and cert etc.
then run the soft spl.
I had problems first couple of times where it would go black then i get funny error in green text but never actually flashed anything. But i think the hard reset and enable rapi stuff fixed that.
hope thats of some use.
cant recommend tnt rom enough
if you want to save yourself an absolute tonne of mucking about and trying to figure everything out, i recommend you splash the cash and pay the £20 on http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
i have a g4 and used these guys, worked with absolute no issues, and im on the xmr5 rom ( or whatever its called )

the above recomendation are good , in fact that's what i have done to update my G4. I would only add to that rembember to save your current rom and extended rom before update. so you may downgrade if you have any problem with wm6.
Hi,
i have Treo 750 want to unlock!!
IPL:0.20
SPL: 0.24.0000'
i try with Cheeta unlocker and MAGIC Unlocker, both not work.
it this because of the new SPL0.24??
can anyone give me instruction how to please!!
thanks
i had same problems with my treo. first like oli says in his first post about hard spl make sure you have net compact framework 2.0 on your computer. what worked for me was in your c drive there is a folder called tempche. delete that file then run unlocker again. i only did first step on my treo just so it would be hard spl'd. never did step 2 and so on cause i didnt feel a need too.
thanks man, just delate the tempche folder then everyhting run smoothly.
cheers
Good for you!
Hi:
Where do you find the SPL and IPL information?
And can you tell me what SPL actually is?
Thanks!
spl
im not sure about what spl means but i do know that you need to have it done in order to install a cooked rom. it basically unlocks your phone so you can flash different roms that the chefs cook. there really isnt to many people cooking roms for the treo. theres only about 3 or 4. i think everybody got different phones so thats why your not getting responded too very quickly. i too have a tilt and a treo and i like to bounce back and forth between phones. i have the wm 6.1 lite rom on my treo. if your looking at just upgrading from wm 5 to wm 6 you dont need to do a hard spl. stock roms allow you to flash without unlocking your phone. im not a computer genious here but i will try and assist you however i can. ive been in your shoes before trying to figure all this stuff out.
i forgot to answer your question about where to find the spl. it shows up in your bootloader screen. you can see it by pressing down the lower left side button and pushing soft reset which is located on the other side where you put your mini sd in. there is a small whole that you use your stylus to push in. you can just soft reset again to get out of the bootloader screen.
helpeee
i used cheeter unlocker. I
did step one and two
successfully. But at the end i get
the debug error which some
people got. So i copied htc herm
unlock v3 to the phone. I ran it
from phone and selected sim
unlock and it was succesfull. But
when i turn on radio, i get "you
have tried 5 times, wait for time
out ****".
Please anyone, what am i doing
wrong, or what should i do to
unlock my machine?? It has wm6
from at&t.
