My "HOW TO" Big Storage, Splash, Error 120 & S

Hi all, and thanks for the great website.
I have spent hour's & hour's reading on the how to of Big Storage (and other things) and now it’s my turn to offer you my way of doing these wonderful modifications..
I have updated my document to reflect the changes I make to my Magician. The document describes my "How To" in modifying the following items;
Big Storage
Customize your Boot Screen
Fix the "Error 120" country error when changing ROM's
Fixing the "Speckles" in photos taken with the built in camera
Please let me know if you find anything in the document that is wrong, needs improving or what ever you feel relevant.
UPDATE
I have put together all of the CAB files I have made/modified in the one plus for easy reference which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33305
.

Thx very much
You made my day ! Until now, I thought I had created a paperweight with my magician by trying in vain to make BigStorage.
Followed now exactly your tutorial and, Oh wonder ! I have BigStorage !
Cheers

I'm glad it helped.

Great step by step
This business of using 128mb SD card for the rom backup is it a problem to use a 256mb or 512mb card or must it be 128mb?

amda..very nice...its very detailed...good work..
one thing which u could add to ur 'how to', is some advice given from
marcdbl, its about downloading the NEW ROM onto the Magician, to make sure to get the power press message....thanks to marcdbl for that because i was strugging to get the sd to work
1. Press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader as usual, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.
2. Insert SD card.
3. Again, press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.
4. At this point you should get the Upgrade prompt.

good job +1

shouldn't someone just do the hack and upload it for those who got no SD card reader

Not a bad idea, I have had problems with the power button thing. I'll add it if it works. I'm upgrading my wifes Magician tonight so I'll give it a go. Thanks

i did it WITHOUT the sd card reader as well...works a charm

hi will it work wid mmc cards ,
Thanks

Hi all,
Just to let you know i have updated my document to cover other mod's to the Magician.
Thanks

WOW!! than a lot man..for tat info...

Hi all
Just receive my brand new T-Mobile MDA Compact, and i'm very happy. This forum help me a lot, remove simlock, add latest rom update 1.13 and radio 1.13, i'm super happy.
Thanks ampda, u are great i have use all ur docs on my mda, and i want give a little help to this forum to, so i upload my first custom splash screen, hope u will enjoy it:

This is that, what every user of magician should read at beginning. THX for that, you can also add how to remove simlock or set mp3 as ringtone, this could be useful for many people.

Another big storage succeeded..!!!!!
Now i'm beginning to get the hang of all this ROM thingy....and thanx to ampda for the detailed step by step.

Sorry about that, I have placed the tools on my site as per my "How To" pdf

total noob here but some questions about flashing

ive been trying to read up on everything but it seems that a lot of the information assumes i know at least a little about what im going to do. I really dont know anything and the tilt will be my first wm phone ever. i have never flashed a phone before but i would love to use duttys rom that i came across on this site, please tell me if these steps are correct for flashing my tilt before i go ahead and try it (dont wanna mess it up)
1. first i will do the hard-spl flash to allow flashing of the roms on my tilt- found at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679 seems easy enough
2. i download duttys hybrid build no. 4
3. it seems like the easiest way to flash my tilt is to do it from a micro sd card? i found these steps at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332246
1. Get a 128MB MicroSD card (or whatever size you like) and format it (***please make sure you format it, but not just delete all contents on it)
2. find the ROM image you would like to use, normally namede RUU_Sign.nbh, and rename it to "KAISIMG.nbh"
3. Plug the card into the phone, then enter boot loader mode by pressing down the Power and Camera buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears. (taken from Wiki)
4. You will first see a tri-color screen then the information on the card. Press power button to start flashing.
5. After all these are done, press the reset button located at the bottom of the phone to reset the device.
4. Is flashing the rom really as easy as these steps ^ make it seem to be? just put duttys RUU_sign.nbh renamed to KAISIMG.nbh on the formatted card, then do the reset instructions and follow the rest?
thank for the time and responses, sorry if there are more simplified instructions somewhere, but i hope i figured it all out before i try this.

I actually think the easiest way is through activesync, clicking on the executable that is usually given. but your first 2 steps is right.

ok so if i do 1 and 2
then i just put both files (the exe and the nbh on the phone) and run the exe from the phone? and thats it? lol
also what would you say the chances are of a total noob (like me) bricking a $400 phone...
EDIT: so i assume this: To Flash a ROM or Radio simply use a tool to convert the .nb files in to .nbh format Dutty's NBH tool works great! then copy pof's Kaiser Custom_RUU into the same folder and then run the Custom_RUU and your device will start the upgrade process. With the new RUU when you flash a splash screen or radio only your device will not hard reset!
i dont have to do the conversion for duttys because the files are already .nbh, correct?

You don't put the .exe and .nbh on the phone. Make sure you have an Active Sync connection to the phone, extract the files to your PC and run the .exe. The .exe goes through pre-checks to make sure your phone is ready to flash. Just make sure you have HardSPL on your device before doing anything. Should be straight forward.
Good luck.

ooo ok, i havent gotten the phone yet so i dont really have any thing to look at im just reading up on it, but that clears most/ if not all of my questions thanks a lot - both of you =)

ROM flash from SD/MMC: Without needing 2nd device

Guy's,
Finally you can flash any rom to your device without help from the 2nd device. I believe it's a great news for them who is suffering from the broken USB connecor.
It's tested on my G3 device with my latest ROM's and other should work without problem.
Procedure:
1. Download the tool and unrar somewhere in your pc.
2. Decode the rom image (nk.nbf) using HTC64 tool and put it (nk.nba) under the "SD_Flash" directory.
3. Run the "SDFlash_G3.cmd" and follow instruction on the screen.
Please note, it's limited to G3 device only and I may add support for G4 device in future.
SD-ROM image tool:
http://vidmes.com/Uni/ROMs/Tomal/Tools/Ranju_SD_Flash.rar
!! IMPORTANT: Do it at your own risk. I'll not take any responsibility if you damage your device. !!
Cheers

Great stuff.
I especially look forward to a G4 release.
My USB commector broke off the circuit board recently and was floating about inside the device for a while before I opened up the device and glued it back in position onto the circuitboard. It now works (the 5 little pins are connected) so I can charge the battery through it, but I don't really trust it to flash a firmware through.
Thankfully I'm already on the ROM I usually go back to (latest T-Mobile WM5) after playing around with WM6 and WM6.1.
Nice to see developments being made for those of us with handicapped uni's!!!

Thanks a ton, Ranju !
Have already downloaded and unpacked it. I'll certainly give it a try as soon as you release your v7.7 ROM.
Cheers!
Carlos

Dear Ranju,
You keep on surprising us!
Thanks friend,
Mohamed

Ranju, as usual, you are the man!
I experienced the "direct flash" on a Mio A701 and it's really a great feature. Now I can't ask you anything more... ehm...
..
... I was kidding I'd like only the new build of your rom eheh
thanks!!!

Thank you ranju for this great tool, so I can flash WM6.1 on my MDA Pro with broken miniUSB!

Hi Ranju!
Thank you very much for sharing your great work.

I tried to flash using bluetooth (yeah, I was stupid) and since then it's hanging in bootloader mode.
The mini-USB connector broke before (that's why I was using BT) and now I finally thought I had a solution to get it working again.
However, when I follow your steps and reset (backlight + power + reset) it doesn't even seem to look at the SD-card; it just shows serial + v1.00 again.
Any ideas?
In SDimage it get's to only 3,21%, but's that's normal on a 2 gig card I presume?

Yes, it's normal.
Did you inserted the card to device before entering to bootloader?
Read and follow all the instructions carefully in the .cmd file.
For more info, read Htc Service manual of Universal.

Thanks Ranju!!!

I shall tell about all the steps I took:
1. Download the tool and unrar somewhere in your pc.
- Easy.
2. Decode the rom image (nk.nbf) using HTC64 tool and put it (nk.nba) under the "SD_Flash" directory.
- I took your(?) "Ranju_v76_WM61_19209_19209_1_0_2", unrarred it and decoded it to nk.nba.
3. Run the "SDFlash_G3.cmd" and follow instruction on the screen.
g3.bin and nk_sd_g3.bin are created.
After that, I put in my Dane-Elec 2 gig SD-card and format it to FAT32.
SDimage is opened and I select the FAT32 F: drive.
After that I push the "Import SD Image" button.
Fill in "i agree", click "ok" and "yes" (with "hex" unchecked).
There I choose bin files and select "nk_sd_g3."
I then click "Ignore", "yes" and "ignore" and it's starts writing.
At 3,21% I get the dump incomplete notification and click ok.
I then put the card in my Universal, press the light and power button and the reset pin.
For a second or so the v1.00 disapears and it comes back without doing/checking/reading anything.
I'm quit sure the SD-card should work because before I flashed using BT, it worked and I tested the same procedure with another card.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or why the Universal doesn't even seem to look for the SD-card?

Yup, same problem here! I tried with a 512MB Toshiba SD card, previously formatted both to FAT(16) and FAT32. SDImage.exe runs up to 12.91% (FAT) or 12.93% (FAT32), with such card capacity. Same results: my Exec just sits there in booloader mode forever...
Cheers!
Carlos

all the steps are correct .
I'm sure root cause is under the header (g3.bin). it's a mmc header and I suppose there is a difference between sd & mmc header. I'll verify once I can arrange a sd card. alternatively someone can try it using a mmc card so that I can reach to a conclusion.

Hi ranju,
Uploading my MMC header for comparison purposes.

I'm also looking for SD header, g3/g4 both the devices for analysis.

So does this work with a G4? or has it not been tested?

Upgrading to 6.1

Hi,
I'm sorry about this post but there seems to be an anormous amount of information which doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
All I want to do is upgrade my palm treo 750 from win5.0 to 6.1.
I've downloaded the rom but it doesn't upgarade. So I need to figure out a way to flash this phone so it can be upgraded to any roms.
I have tried the Cheetahunlocker which doens't work. It gets stuck on 0% then times out.
Could someone please give me some basic instructions on the best way to do this on the treo.
I've done this on the TYTN2 whith no issues however on this phone, it seems to be a lot harder.
Thanks in advance.

Your device needs to be unlocked. You can do this by calling ATT and getting unlock code or by using Magic_Unlocker.
search
Also you will need to have the HardSPL installed which is Step 1 only of the CheetahUnlocker
I just did it yesterday so I know it works.
After you get the phone unlocked, name the ROM .nbh file CHEEIMG.nbh and then put it on the SD card
The start the CheetahUnlocker process as it enters the HardSPL process it will go ahead and run the CHEEIMG file and flash your ROM
(it works ! ) DON"T CHANGE THE RADIO !!!!
After doing that be sure and reclaim your ROM space - search web for Removing Ext ROM and do that process, hard reset and you are ready to go
Takes about 15 min!

sigh..
The rom is an exe file...
I downloaded 7-zip, extracted the rom to a folder.
Looking through it, I am unable find the ROM.nbh file!
CHEEMING.nbh is already there..
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Sorry I forgot it was already named CHEEIMG.nbh -- just use it like I said above.
Copy it to the SD card, put the SD card in the device and after you have used Magic_Unlocker , connect via Active Sync and start the CheetahUnlocker process. This will start the three step CheetahUnlock process (really all you need is step one which will put the HardSPL in place) as that process fails the CHEEIMG file on your SD card will get flashed.
Hope this makes sense
Bottom line is that you will be doing an SD flash of the CHEEIMG.nbh file but it takes HardSPL for that to work. Step one of the CheetahUnlocker installs HardSPL (that will be all you need of that process)

remember!
THE SD FLASHING METHOD TAKES A REALLY LONG TIME. SO LONG YOU MIGHT THINK IT'S BROKEN. BUT IT'S NOT!!!!
caps with bold and red= great way to emphasize an important point.

Thanks for the info but I'm still running into trouble.
I copied the file to the SDcard but when running the cheetahunlocker, it give the same error at 0% ( error 206) something about the connection..
I notice that active sync turns off when the cheetah unlocker goes to the coloured screen.
Edit:
Also, should I be moving the CHEEIMG.nbh or just copying it to the SD card?
Thanks.

Did you run the MagicUnlocker first?
Is the CHEEIMG.nbh file in the root of your SD card? Try re-formatiing your SD card (FAT32 important!) and then putting the CHEEIMG.nbh file in place on the root of the SD card.
After starting the CheetahUnlocker the TriColor screen should come on and then it should go to a standard White boot scan. It will ask if you want to flash and you will be asked to confirm by pushing the Power button.
If you can ever get Step One to complete on teh Cheetah Unlocker you should be able to confirm that the HardSPL is installed by turing off Today screen (Red, end button) , then hold the left side button while then pushing the reset button. You will get a tricolor screen that lists your SPL version. If it is HardSPL on an unlocked device and there is a CHEEIMG.nbh file on an inserted SD card it will then automatically go to a White boot screen .....
If any of this sounds foreign to you then you need to familiarize yourself in the Wiki re SD flashing
PS do you have the NetFramework 2.0 installed on your PC? When you start the CheetahUnlocker are you getting the Treo device confirmation to install the 2 boot exe files that let the Treo go to the boot screen (you have to answer yes to both of these) - are you making it that far?

Yes I ran the unlocker which worked fine.
I formatted the SD card, copied the CHEEMING.NBH to it so it's the only file there.
No I run the CheetahUnlocker.exe , yes to disclaimer , then STEP 1 - I click FLASH SPL, then next, next etc.. I hit Update - next - next then the phone msg comes up asking if I want to run jumpSPL.exe - I hit yes and it goes to the tri colour screen, the active sync dissapears, the screen on the pc stays at 0% and then I get the error 260: Connection, check cable etc..
How is it suppoed to maintain a connection when Active sync turns off?
I did check and framework2.0 is present.
Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what is happening in your case but I do know that once a device of any kind enters the bootloader - Active Sync dies - AS is part of the OS and that no longer exists after the bootloader starts, I.e. Windows Mobile isn't really running any longer. the AS connection just gets it started.

I'm not too sure either.
I've unlocked the phone which worked fine.
When I run the cheetahunlocker, it doensn't get past the first step.
Should I be running Hardspl first?

What rom works best with the Treo 750? Link please!!!
What rom are you wanting to use? I have Treo750_WM6.1_WWE_Lite, looking for a more stable rom. Please list some or link them.

I tried both roms
the lite one and the normal one. I must say that the normal one is more stable - with the lite I had to do a reset at least one per day. with the normal version I did not do a reset at all...

Hi, did you resolve this CONNECTION issue? I'm having exactly the same problem.
Anyone?

hey everyone... i have a problem similar to these i think. I'll explain
i've done the magic_unlocker and i can do the 1st step of the cheetahunlocker. treo reset automatically and when i try to flash the rom the trilinear screen doesn't change to the blue screen which is the screen of the rom flash
anybody now why?
i have cracked my head the hole day and a still can't do it :S

If it goes into the bootloader then you should be good to go. Both 750s i unlocked did this. However, if done correctly, the phone should go to a light blue screen where you will press the power button and flashing should begin.

Are you doing the SD method or Desktop? DO the SD method and it should begin flashing right away after the 1st step of cheetahunlocker.

[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)

PLEASE READ THE *FAQ* BEFORE FLASHING OR ASKING QUESTIONS!!
This *Easy Guide* is for the all the Noobs that want a New Rom but are getting confused and dont want to brick their nice new phone.
I used Jockys HardSPL v3.29 and OliPros' CID Unlocker for this.
Before you start, backup anything on your phone that you might want to keep after the new Rom has been flashed because all contacts/ emails/ texts/ notes/ Internet BookMarks/ ect. WILL be lost!!
PimBackup is good and free (copy any mms attachments to your storage card or computer seperately)
If you get stuck in the Bootloader Screen (Tri-Colour Screen with text in the top left) go *HERE* (thanks to DaveShaw)
*STEPS 1 - 4 ONLY NEED TO BE CARRIED OUT ONCE. ONCE YOU HAVE FLASHED HARDSPL YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT AGAIN WHEN FLASHING NEW ROMS OR RADIOS*
*DO NOT start another process while the flashing process is taking place*
*DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground*
*DO NOT let the ScreenSaver activate*
(any of these can lead to a bad flash and possibly brick your phone)
1. MAKE SURE YOUR KAISER HAS AT LEAST 50% BATTERY POWER FIRST
2. Download and Unzip *THIS* File
3. Flash HardSPL 3.29 [ESSENTIAL]
Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.94-KAIS.exe to your device memory (NOT STORAGE CARD)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*
3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS!!
4. Turn phone back on and let it boot back into your operating system
5. Connect your phone to PC with a USB cable and wait until it syncs with your PC
6. Run File Explorer on your phone, browse to where you copied JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe on your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93 and lastly try JumpSPL1.94 if that one doesnt work.
7. CLick Continue on phone when prompted
8. After a few seconds the tri colour screen will appear on the phone and "USB" will be displayed at the bottom
9. Unplug the usb cable for 30 seconds and then Replug (phone will not re-sync but still says "USB" on the screen)
10. Right click on the Activesync icon in the bottom corner icon on the computer, goto connection settings, deselect "Allow USB connections" and click "ok"
11. Run the KaiserCustomRUU.exe file on your PC thats in the same folder as the HardSPL .nbh file and follow instructions (ticking boxes and clicking Next) *DO NOT re-enable USB Connections in Activesync*
12. Update will goto 100% (should take less than a minute), the Congratulations screen will be displayed on the PC and the phone will restart
13. Unplug USB cable from phone then REPLACE SIM and SD CARDS !!
14. Restart phone

Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs)
** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND HELP WHEN FLASHING **
*BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THE LIST OF INSTALLED APPS INCLUDED IN THE ROM. ALSO READ THE ROMS THREAD FROM THE DATE YOUR VERSION WAS UPLOADED TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT ISSUES OR PROBLEMS SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING ON YOUR PHONE*

10. Screen on phone goes black after flashing Radio for Sim Unlocking
1. What are the benefits of flashing a new rom?
Flashing a New Rom basically gets rid of all the bloatware thats included on Stock Roms and Flashes a Clean, Optimized, Fully loaded Rom that will squeeze every ounce of speed and stability from your phone. Chefs usually include all the programs you are ever likely to need and because the Rom has been cleaned out you are left with more memory to play around with.
2. What is the SPL (Second Program Loader)?
Read *HERE* for more information.
3. What are the different types of Unlock? (answer by DaveShaw)
The three stages of unlock are:
SIM: Allows you to use SIM's from another carrier. Can be done using codes or unlocker programs on xda-devs.
Security: Allows you to flash radios from another device - It does other stuff, but this is all the casual user will use it for
CID: CID unlocking is an old concept, nowadays you flash HardSPL instead. This lets you flash any ROM, Splash or Radio (depending on sec unlock) to your device. N.B. the CID is the carrier ID (e.g. HTC__001). The stock SPL's only let you flash ROM's that match the CID in the ROM image with the CID on your device.
Also, SuperCID is an even older concept no longer valid on newer devices.
4. What is a Radio?
The Radio is the Firmware that works between the Operating System and the Cellular Hardware. It handles the Sound, Camera, GPS, Phone Calls, etc. The Radio must be compatable with the ROM's Operating System or you may experience problems with your sound and camera.
5. What is Manila2D?
Manila2D is a Great Today Screen Plugin that disables all other plugins and replaces them with a fully loaded interface that gives you easy access to your phones programs. It has a customizable number of Sliding Tabs at the bottom, each tab giving you a screen specific to your needs.
The Tabs are as follows: "Home" has a clock, alarm mode, call history and calendar. "People" gives you a picture contact for easy calling or texting. "Launcher" lets you set up a list of programs that are easily accessable from one screen. "Messaging" and "Email" give you a very attractive and easy way to read and manipulate your messages. An "Internet" Tab with easy Internet Browser launching and the option to add one press shortcuts. "Location" lets you access your GPS quickly via GoogleMaps and "Weather" has great graphics to let you see what its like outside without having to step out of your door. "Photo" and "Music" lets you view your Media quickly without the need to run a seperate program and last but not least "Settings" gives you control of your Sounds, Wallpaper and Communications.
For more information on Manila2D Development and to download it go *HERE*
Most aspects can be customized using a great program called M2DC which you can download *HERE*
Manila2D is a beta plugin still in development and doesnt work at all well in Landscape mode, so its best to use it in Portrait mode and then flip out your keyboard once you are in the program you need to use. If that bothers you then dont use it.
6. Whats the difference between Hard and Soft Reset?
Soft reset is basically the same as rebooting your computer. Its done by pressing the stylus into the little hole on the bottom of the kaiser to the right of the usb connector. It just restarts the kaiser if you have been doing alot of stuff on it and want to speed it up or after installing some software that needs a soft reset to complete the installation.
Hard Reset is completely different and you would be hard pressed to do it by accident lol. Its done by holding down the left and right soft keys and then pressing the soft reset button with the stylus for approx 3 seconds. You will then be given the option to press the green send button which will wipe all stored data on your phone and return it to the orginal condition it was in after first flashing it. Hard Resets are performed after flashing to make sure nothing was left from your previous Rom or if something goes wrong on your phone and you want to go back to a fresh Rom without reflashing it.
How To Perform a Hard Reset (from the Wiki): Read *HERE*
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.
8. I get an Error Code when trying to Flash
Read *HERE* for a list of all RUU Error Codes and possible solutions.
9. Flash gets Stuck at 17% and wont finish
Enter recovery mode to finish flashing by following these steps:
1. From the Rom Update Utility on the PC click "Recovery"
2. Disconnect the USB cable
3. Remove the battery for 3 secs
4. Put the battery back in and power up the phone
5. At this point the tri colour screen should appear
6. Connect the USB cable
7. Click "Update" and the RUU installer starts again and flashes.
10. Screen on phone goes black after flashing Radio for Sim Unlocking
The screen is black because the radio that is flashed to the phone to unlock it is incompatable with your current rom. As long as you have flashed HardSPL then you wont have any troubles.
If you are planning to upgrade your rom to a new one then flash it via the microSD Card method and then go back after and do the Sim unlock stage (remembering to flash back a compatable radio after you finish unlocking it). If you dont want to upgrade the rom then you need to flash a radio that works with your rom (see The Ultimate Radio Thread).

Thanks for the excellent post. What does ** YOUR DEVICE MUST BE SYNCED BEFORE RUNNING EACH STEP ** mean? Do you mean just ActiveSync? Doesnt ActiveSync just sync contacts, calendar etc., so how does that matter ?

Yes it means ActiveSync and when you sync your phone with the computer it links the 2 so that you can perform flashes or run programs on your computer for use with the phone.

Nice one.
I often wanted to write this myself, but couldn't find the time for another project.
If one of the Kind Mods would sticky it...?
Just my opinion... if the chef's linked to this page as part of their "Instructions" it would save a few newbie questions.
My first ROM flash, back in the Wizard days, was: find a nice ROM, read instructions in the ROM thread, which linked me to a similar thread, then flash the ROM. Tada.

Just two comments.
There are two methods to Security Unlock your phone. The first one is the one mentioned in this thread. It seems to work well for some but in my personal case, it didn't (well, I'm still not sure about it). What can happen if you follow method #1 is that although the Tri-color screen states "Security Unlocked", once you flash a new radio, that message will dissapear. If this means that the phone isn't security unlocked anymore is something that remains to be cleared up. I did change my CID and it did remove the simlocks despite the message dissapearing once you flash back your original radio.
The second method is the one described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1837147&postcount=1
This is the Jockey method. It is a little more complicated than method #1 but it allowed to unlock my device and have the "Security Unlocked" remain in the tri-color screen no matter what HardSPL and Radio I flashed since I unlocked it.
I'm not saying that method #1 doesn't work, I'm just saying that in my particular case, the "SU" message didn't stay permanently and since I had my doubts, I tried method #2 which worked flawlessly for me.
Good Luck
Tony

Nice work mate

Nice job.
May also be worth mentioning that points 1 through 4 only need be carried out on any phone ONCE. After which, you can download and flash new ROMs to your heart's content, until you find the one that's right for you.

Done. Thanks for pointing out

Small Addition
I would like to add to this post....
While the flashing process is taking place, DO NOT start another process.
DO NOT click off of the status bar... Let it stay in the foreground.
DO NOT let the screensaver activate either.
Any of these things can take processor time away from the flashing process and could possible "hiccup" the flash, causing a bad flash and possibly (slight possibility) brick the device. Especially if you are replacing the SPL.
There are alot of posts that tell how for the newbs to flash their device, but I see ALOT of posts that say "I followed the directions, but still bricked, HELP"
I can only wonder if they are starting the flashing process then going to internet explorer (or some other browser) or loading another program to ocupy their time while the flashing is going on which is causing a bad flash.
My thoughts......

Excellent tutorial. Thanks.
But, can you explain what SPL and CID stand for.
Whats hardSPL (or softSPL for that matter) And why do i need to unlock my CID!
Thanks again!

That is a good idea to make sure that it is clear to new users. Personally, in my experience when a user says "i followed the directions, but still bricked, HELP" it is because they PRETTY MUCH followed the directions, but forgot something when they were reading. It's really easy to do, but often leads to mistakes and undesired results.

Hi, thanks your wonderful instructions, I flashed my tilt to hyperdragon III. Just a few comments:
You mention remove sd and sim cards. Please also mention at what stage it is safe to put them back into the phone.
In section 3 step 10, you mention follow instructions. I dont think one should try to active sync (it is part of instructions of the rom upgrade software) since we disabled usb connection in activesync.

Thanks a million
I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I was having a hell of a time finding exactly how to do it. I followed this step by step and it was a breeze. I had the new 6.1 ROM on my tilt and it was just pissing me off so now (thanks to you) I'm running HyperDragon III.
