[UPG][V.1]ELF USPL - CID Unlock & flash *ANY* rom to your device[ONLINE]

This is a patched SPL for HTC Elf devices (HTC Touch / HTC P3450 / Dopod S1, o2 Nova, etc...).
This SPL is based on original Elf 1.11 SPL but includes 3 patches:
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
Does not check Model ID
Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formated signatures on their places, however no checking are performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Elf after flashing USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
Disclaimer:
This is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsibility for any conflict, fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. No warranties of any kind are given. Any commercial usage prohibited.
Instructions:
1. Unzip
2. Connect your phone to computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
3. Run elf-uspl.exe on your computer and follow instructions on screen:
Code:
*************************************************************
Please make sure Activesync is enabled (green icon in systray)
and hit ENTER to start...
STEP 1/3......50%......75%....100%
The next step will load a patched bootloader (SPL) on your device
it will make your device temporary SuperCID (seclevel=0), and will
avoid modelID and signature checking when flashing NBH files.
Hit ENTER to continue...
STEP 2/3.....15%.....25%...50%...75%.....100%
Phone screen should now be blank and the activesync icon gray
if not, the loading procedure has failed and you'll have to repeat again.
If all was OK hit ENTER and the standard "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility"
window will start, allowing you to flash patched SPL on your device.
Hit CTRL+C to Cancel or ENTER to continue...
Follow the steps on the wizard to flash the patched SPL, when this
step completes your device will reboot.
STEP 3/3 - Launching RUU, please wait...
Process is finished, congratulations!
If you find it useful don't forget to donate :)

Hit ENTER to quit.
Update:
Some ROMs (specially O2 Nova) don't allow to run unsigned applications by default and some people have reported difficulties installing USPL. If you see a popup asking to run unsigned code, you need to rapi-unlock your phone manually, to do this download enable-rapi.zip and follow the instructions inside the file prior to installing USPL.
Notes:
1. I have only tested under XP, people says it works on Vista too.
2. Unzip the file, do not run it on the zipped folder. (Note: Better to unzip in c:\ folder with no spaces on the name).
3. This will only CID unlock your device, not SIM unlock.
4. On some devices STEP 2 fails the first time, just hit CTRL+C, softreset your device and start over again.
5. To create NBH files for Elf you should use HTC Rom Tool by Dark Simpson, because "nbhgen" doesn't create proper NBH files for elf.
6. You can use Artemis splash screen tool by jcaron safely on the Elf, the Artemis RUU is compatible with Elf-USPL and both devices have same splash screen format.
7. After flashing a full ROM (containing a SPL on it) you'll overwrite USPL, so you'll need to repeat the USPL flashing process again.
8. If you like it, use the paypal donate button on my signature
Enjoy!
UPDATE (thanks Noonski)
TO AVOID BRICKED ELF BE SURE TO CHECK THIS THREAD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155
So new users can first check if their Shipped rom is around before taking the decision to flash USPL.
Also this makes them aware to submit new ones to the list.
And if they Get stuck with a 270 Error at 3% without actually having an original, it was they that made the decision themselves.

Thank you so much! Free CID unlock finally!

Congratulations!!!!
Work in HTC Herald ???

Execellent and will try it right the way...thanks a million....

i did not get what you are saying
This will only CID unlock your device, not SIM unlock
can you please explain me in simple words after after using this tool on my HTC Touch can i use the sim from different service provider

Cool! I finally could update my Spanish Elf to the latest Dopod Asia ROM (WWE)
Thanks!

Greate! I just flash it successfully!
BTW:
pof:How can i flash the device that can not boot? my friend's device only boot in 3-color mode.

in simple words: No
there are two different areas in the ROM.
One regarding CID and one for SIM-Lock.

Works perfect in Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit.
Thx pof!

THNX!!!!
THANX a lot pof!!!
You will get a donation from me!
(as I promised here for Excalibur)
Am I right that I can also backup my original ROM and flash it back with that tools?

Thanks And Working Fine With Me .

Great job pof

Oh that's great news for all users HTC Touch,thanks a lot.

This is fantastic! Thanks pof!
Took me 3 attempts, but it worked out great (Vista didnt work though, XP did the third time )
Edit: My dutch Touch, is now a WWE Touch! Thnx again pof. Awesome work.

No success
I went through steps 1 and 2. Then started the RUU with the ELFUSPL hack from pof. But it always gives me the message "[270] UPDATE ERROR" and "Image file is corrupted". I downloaded it again from pof - no change.
Now I wonder if:
1. Is it ok if the ActiveSync icon remains gray (not connected) after the step 2 and during the step 3?
2. Is this method not appropriate for O2 Nova (German)?
Don't know what to do now. Would anyone be so kind and give me any hints, please?
----------------
O2 Nova, German version

How can i see my default settings ?
CID locked or CID unlocked ?
Or all Touch CID Locked default ? ( and i need this flash if i have upgrade "any" rom )
Thx all of your answers !

Follow the steps on the wizard to flash the patched SPL, when this
step completes your device will reboot.

this must be a typo then
thanks for sharing the information !

I dont think its a typo. The wizard regards the setup wizard, which is the series of checklist that you go through to get to the end desired result.

Kaiser Not Working

Hi Im Using Xp Pro
THIS IS WHERE IM UP TO .SORRY IM NOT USED TO FORUMS.NEWBY.[please scroll to bottom of page]
The exe has created a folder on your C drive called Unlocker. There are 2 folders inside that one called kaiser-HardSPLv1 and one called kaiser-simunlocker
Note for Vista users
===============
If you do not have the latest version of Mobile Centre follow This guide to explain how to change your drivers to the xp. You will have problems running the unlocker otherwise. Log in as administrator if you run the ROM update tool and unlocker. That also applies to XP users.
Instructions
============
1. Install HardSPL as per the instructions:
1- Connect Kaiser to computer using USB cable
2- Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN
3- RUN kaiser-hardSPL.exe on Computer (PC)
4- Follow instructions on screen
To check it has installed correctly, power off and then press power on while keeping camera pressed, this will enter the so called bootloader mode and you see a tri-colour screen (Red, Green, Blue). You should see "SPL-1.0 OliPof" on the second line in the top left corner. You can exit this mode by means of a "soft reset": press the reset button with the stylus.
2. Make a note of the radio version that is currently installed. You see the version strings in the splash screen which appears soon after power on (e.g. "R 1.27.14.09") (Or by going to Start, Settings, System, device information). Since we will flash a special radio in step 5 you need to flash back your original radio in the last step. (If you have a UK Orange Tytn II with the radio version 1.27.12.29, Use Radio version 1.27.12.32. Keep a note of the unlocking Code as you will need to enter it again after you have re-flashed the Radio.) (You will find download links at the bottom of the instructions)
3. Connect PC and Kaiser with a USB cable and keep it connected until the last step.
4. Power on the Kaiser and let it boot into Windows Mobile. On the PC make sure the activesync icon is green
5. After you unpacked the download you see directories "step1" and "step2". Go into "step1" and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. This will flash the special patched radio rom. Follow the instructions until it is finished.
6. Power off your Kaiser and insert a different SIM, i.e. a SIM from another provider than the one your phone is locked to. (if you have a pin on the sim disable it first)
7. Once Windows Mobile has booted up it will (usually after you have entered the usual 4-digit PIN) show a window called "Simlock" and a textbox where you can enter a 8-digit unlock code. Now perform a soft reset by pressing the reset button *but* at the same time keep the camera button pressed. If you did it well you will be back in bootloader mode and you see the tri-color screen. The best technique is to press and hold the camera button first and then shortly press the reset button with the stylus.
8a. right-click activesync icon and uncheck "Allow USB connections" from Connection Settings
8b. On your PC, go into the "step2" directory and run "kaiser-simunlocker.exe". If all went well you will see the unlock code on your monitor and your Kaiser is being restarted
MY KAISER DOES NOT RESTART and stays in tri mode AND THERE IS NO PASSWORD ON SCREEN.THANKS AGAIN

I got stucked into a Multi dotted colored screen with my Kaiser8925, and I can´t flash the old radio versión, I got the file, but I try to flash my kaiser, and it gets not installed, I think the new radio version I flashed is causing the problems. ¿Can you help me?

Thread hi-jacking is not very good...also posting the same thing in multiple threads isn't either...But, try reinstalling your Windows rom...Sounds like thats the issue. Could be something more severe though.

[How-To] From 1.33.0010 SPL to Engg SPL with Amon_RA's ROM

Here's a n00b friendly guide for all the people with 1.33.0010 SPL and who would like to switch over to the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL with Amon_RA's ROM. This has been tested on my Indian HTC Magic, but I do think it will work for other Magics with the same SPL. Remember, this is for 32A only.
1. Download the latest Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/. Create a folder called "AndroidSDK" on your C drive and extract the contents of the zip file to the folder such that the folders called "tools", "usb_driver" and all are within the "AndroidSDK" folder.
2. On Windows XP : Go to Control Panel->System, Choose the 'Advanced' tab and then click 'Environment Variables' To do this on Vista/Windows7: Simply go to Control Panel->System and choose 'Advanced System Settings' and then 'Environment Variables'
Now that you've got here locate Path under System Variables and click Edit, then add the following to the end of the string displayed:
;C:\AndroidSDK\tools\
Then click OK until you get out of the menus.
3. Enable Debugging mode on the phone by going to
Menu > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB Debugging
4. Go to http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip and download the ADB drivers for windows.
5. Connect your Android device via USB. When the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, you'll be asked if you'd like Windows Update to search for software, select No, not this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specified location and click Next.
Select Search for the best driver in these locations. Browse and select the unzipped folder. Click Finish.
6. Go to "Run" in Start and type in "cmd". This is the standard procedure for invoking the Command Prompt. Remember this. Type "cd\" hit enter and then enter "cd AndroidSDK", hit enter. The command prompt should look like :
C:\AndroidSDK>
Now type in "adb devices" and hit enter. You should see something like this :
C:\AndroidSDK>adb devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXX device
If you do, everything is great. Disconnect your device.
7. Now go to HTC's global site and download the latest version of HTC Sync, unzip and install. When you connect your device now, HTC Sync should recognize your phone.
8. Now comes the Gold Card part. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4289899&postcount=1 and follow the guide to create your Gold Card. The 2GB Sandisk one which comes in the box works just fine. If you don't have Android Market, don't fret. Forget about the Steps 3 & 4. Instead, connect your device with the card in it. Invoke command prompt and cd to "AndroidSDK" as told before. Type in "adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid". You will get the CID. Follow the rest of the steps from the guide to create a Gold Card.
9. Time for action. Now you gotta get http://rapidshare.com/files/267446145/2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip and http://rapidshare.com/files/267451803/2.16.707.3_-_sappimg.zip. Now follow these steps to flash the 2.53.707.2 ROM first and then the 2.16.707.3 later :
# Copy the required sappimg.nbh/zip to the Goldcard.
# Boot your phone while holding the VOLUME-DOWN key.
# Press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to start the update.
# Wait until the update completes and press the ACTION KEY (=trackball) to reboot your phone.
10. Now time to create a Nandroid Backup. Download http://rapidshare.com/files/262635369/recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img. Put it in the "AndroidSDK" folder. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Standard procedure. Remember this. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Nandroid Backup option and follow the on-screen instructions to create a backup. Reboot device. And copy over the "nandroid" folder on you sd card to a safe place.
11. Go to http://rapidshare.com/files/267475618/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip. Copy over the zip to your sd card. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Apply sdcard:choose zip option and choose the Engineering SPL. Follow on-screen instructions to flash the SPL. Reboot.
12. Time to flash the Amon_RA ROM. Go to http://rapidshare.com/files/258868832/Rom-RAv1.1.0H-signed-update.zip. Rename the file to "update.zip" and copy over to the sd card. Switch off your phone. Hold the Back button and Switch it on. This takes you to the Fastboot mode. Connect the phone to the PC. Invoke the command prompt, cd to "AndroidSDK" and type :
fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img
The recovery image will boot and you'll see the recovery screen. Wait for 2 minutes. Select the Wipe Data option, and follow instructions to Wipe your present ROM. If you don't do this, your phone might not boot after flashing the ROM. Select the Apply sdcard:update.zip option. Follow onscreen instructions to flash the ROM. Reboot. All done. Welcome to Android.....
All credits go to Amon_RA, ekindangen and everybody else for their respective contributions.....
PS. Please do chip in with a Thanks if you found this guide helpful and any corrections are welcome.....
PPS. After you flash the ROM, if HTC Sync isn't working, use Google Sync, since the ROM is a Google ION based one.

No problem, bro. Always ready to help....
And, BTW, I have made changes to the last step of the procedure. It concerns the Wiping of the present ROM before flashing the custom one. Please do take note of it....

when i tried to run adb devices on the c:/adnroidSdk, its shwoing me error , adb not recognized as internal or external command.....
i am using vista.
the command is only running if i go the particular directory , like c/ android sdk / tools , and then run the adb devices then it shows the connected device... ie my phone is it OK . or any thing wrong till now ... ?

saptali one small question that if do till the point number 9 , ONLY , then can i be able to get the google stuff or shall i proceed from point 10 onwards.... am i correct that from point 10 onwards its ROM FLASHING , and till point 9 and above its SPL flasing only ..
will my phone works , as normal if i do till point 9 only ? ie SPL flasing only..?? i dont want to do rom flashing ..

Workin on it!
Started workin on... will keep u posted.
btw, what are the odds of bricking the phone?
@ pintspin, either you need to send the path right ( in ur environmenta variables) or navigate to ur tools folder inside the androidSDK folder and run the adb.

doubt
Under step 9, why is it necessary to flash two ROMS: 2.53.707.2 first and then the 2.16.707.3.
Isnt't it true that once we flash 2.53.707.2 ROM, Security will be Off and we land upto a non-perfected SPL?

No there is no google stuff in 2.53... Rom, it just turns the S=OFF in your spl, which is good, makes your SPL a engg one

this is damn cool... i did it step by step and it worked like a charm.
I can confirm that it worked using the 2GB sd-card that came with the device.
At point 9 - copy the files to sd card and rename them to sappimg.zip
I have to mention that all data will be erased! So I didn't actually get the backup part at point 9 that backs up the files from the sappimg in my opinion.
I've flashed only the 2.53.707.2 ROM... don't know what the other one does.
I have copied the update.zip files directly on the gold SD card. No format or anything after the sappimg update. I now have several update_xxx.zip files on the card and checking them out.
Mine was a HTC Magic bought from US. Initial config:
Sapphire PVT 32A Ship S-on H
HBOOT 1.33.0010 (SAPP10000)
CPLD 12
RADIO 3.22.20.17
Build 2.53.707.2
After update it is showing:
Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-off H
HBOOT 1.33.2010
Still no Google apps on the device but will try to put the Hero on it . Or another Magic Rom.
Thanks to all of you who made it possible. There is no purpose in having an open source system on a locked device!

i am not able to download this file from rapid share as , my limit is over can any one please tell me any other link for same , please
http://rapidshare.com/files/267475618/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2010-signed.zip

1. Step 9 Flashes 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
2. Step 9 then flashes 2.16.707.3 which is NON-Perfected stock SPL v1.33.0009
3. Step 10 does a Nandroid backup.
4. Step 11 again reverts back to 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Is flashing to 2.16.707.3 required for taking a Nandroid backup??
If flashing to 2.16.707.3 is not required can someone update the original steps to avoid confusion?

If you just want the Engineering SPL, you can stop at that particular point, and stay with the official ROM.

I can tell you that if you have a Nandroid backup, there is no chance of bricking your phone. In fact, if you want to you can backup your current ROM with Nandroid.

Under step 9, why is it necessary to flash two ROMS: 2.53.707.2 first and then the 2.16.707.3.
Isnt't it true that once we flash 2.53.707.2 ROM, Security will be Off and we land upto a non-perfected SPL?

The first ROM is a test ROM, which gets the security OFF. The second is a shipping ROM with a non-perfect SPL.

Exactly this is what I wanted to ask:
1. Step 9 Flashes 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
2. Step 9 then flashes 2.16.707.3 which is NON-Perfected stock SPL v1.33.0009
3. Step 10 does a Nandroid backup.
4. Step 11 again reverts back to 2.53.707.2 which is Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010
Is flashing to 2.16.707.3 required for taking a Nandroid backup??
If flashing to 2.16.707.3 is not required can someone update the original steps to avoid confusion?

The 2.16.707.3 ROM is not required for taking the backup. You can actually take a Nandroid backup of any ROM. But why I took the backup after flashing those two ROMs was because both of them are official ROMs. And you haven't yet begun messing with the SPL. So, it's a safe middle ground. That's why the backup....

Treo Pro on CDMA networks - ROMs, Instructions, Tips & Tricks

Flashing...
[size=+1]Instructions:
First, if you have GSM treo pro (NOT CDMA, NOT SPRINT/VERIZON/TELUS), this is not intended for your device. see this post on GSM treo pro's current status: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...7&postcount=55
steps:
0) if you have Vista or Windows 7, make sure you have latest WMDC.
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty local folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL exe from the folder
4) follow steps in the program!
5) it should go to tricolour screen now, i.e. SSPL mode, and show 0.32.SSPL. now follow steps in the RUU that's launched by now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done. if you get any errors, follow the instructions offered by the program.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.36.CMONEX.
NOTE: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot!
to enter bootloader mode to see version: with the device turned on, press and hold the Camera button along with the Power button, then press the reset button with the stylus tip, then release the Camera and Power buttons when bootloader tricolour screen appears.
NOTE 2: anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.
NOTE 3: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs. also, this has overwrite protection, if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package will soon be posted.
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU to flash anything else! this is only intended for flashing the HardSPL.
Finally, if you wish to thank me with a donation, you can do so by clicking the link the HardSPL program offers, or here: http://hpcmonex.net/htc/pantc/panther.htm
Troubleshooting tips:
- READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
- READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
- READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
- if you have USB issues:
1. anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically or problems with USB connection after SSPL was loaded, please copy SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe from the SSPLManual.zip attachment to the device and run it (make sure USB is plugged in). then once the screen is in SSPL, run RUU manually. i.e. you run the RUU on the PC, if it isn't obvious.
2. if it still has connection error in SSPL screen, try unplugging and replugging the USB
3. try different USB port, PC, etc.
4. when there are sync issues, the program also suggests installing this file on the phone: http://hpcmonex.net/roms/enablerapinew.cab, just making a note here too.
5. it's been verified that you can flash HardSPL from SD in SSPL, see instructions below.
Updates:
HardSPL NBH file is now downloadable from 1st post! you can flash this from SD now; rename this NBH to PANTIMG.NBH, put it on a fat32 formatted SD, and then run SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA.exe on the phone.
steps for stock SPL restore:
0. only use this for warranty service! for no other purpose!!! also before flashing this, make sure you already have stock ROM flashed.
1. download Stock_SPL_Restore_036.zip attachment from 1st post, extract it.
2. get customRUU and flash this file. can also do SD flash (PANTIMG.NBH).[/size]

ROM Date: 05/07/08
Radio Version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol Version: 25.83.20.02H
and as I learn to check what Hard SPL is installed in my device (thanks to you guys ) it says 3.29. 0000 or something like that, so my question is... does my phone already have been flashed? if so can i skip to to loading the Rom i wanted, i do need help thanks
if not this is from mskip
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)

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
*Remember to re-enable "Allow USB connections" in Activesync connection settings after a successful flash*
Flashing via MicroSD Card using cmonex HardSPL 3.29 [OPTIONAL]
FOR UPGRADING HARDSPL ONLY!! THIS WONT WORK UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE HARDSPL ON YOUR PHONE
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download Cmonex's HardSPL 3.29SD, unzip it and copy the 2 files into the root of your MicroSD Card
(KAISDIAG.NBH is basically an SSPL patched to load from SD without booting OS)
(KAISIMG.NBH is cmonex HardSPL 3.29)
3. Insert the microSD Card into the phone
4. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
5. It should say Loading / Update in progress and then to a screen saying SPL 1.00.OliNex
6. It should now say Press Power Button to flash or just flash the KAISIMG.NBH and then reset
7. At this point it should boot to the OS, if it doesn't then flash an OS (delete the previous KAISDIAG.NBH and KAISIMG.NBH from the SD Card and use Flashing Rom from MicroSD Card method)
8. After the Operating System loads, DELETE the KAISDIAG.NBH and KAISIMG.NBH files
*To check HardSPL version on your phone Enter Bootloader by Holding in the Power and Camera buttons, press the reset button with the stylus for 3 seconds until the tri-colour screen appears, then read the 2nd line which is the SPL version*
4. SIM and CID-Unlock [OPTIONAL]
For more reading go *HERE*
* YOUR DEVICE MUST BE SYNCHED WITH YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE RUNNING EACH STEP *
*Put your phone into Bootloader and update to a 6.1 Rom first if you get a black screen after Flashing the Patched Radio*
*If the program wont run u may need to install Microsoft .NET 2.0 on your computer to get it working*
1. Make a note of your current Radio in case you need to flash it back
2. Run KaiserUnlocker.exe, follow the instructions
(if you already have HardSPL on your phone you can skip straight to Step2)
3. After patched Radio has been flashed phone will restart and sync with the computer
4. On the Unlocker Program it should say Radio Patched at the bottom
5. Click on Step3 (Run Unlocker). This will bring up the Unlocker screen on your phone
6. If you want to check the status of your Sim Lock or CID Lock click the appropriate buttons
7. Click on Remove Sim Lock and Set CID, then click "Commit Changes"
* IF YOU DONT NEED TO FLASH A NEW ROM THEN PROCEED TO STEP6 TO PUT YOUR DESIRED RADIO BACK*

are the instructions from flashing hard spl 3.29 below it or what? I'm just confused coz' I found this tutorial here in the forums also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2498297&postcount=10
Im just confused thanks

If you are confused, stop.
Re-read again and again, until it makes sense. Understanding the huge material around here is not to be taken in only one day.
I spent my early days 2 weeks by merely reading, collecting tools (and patches) before even attempting to flash.

I just needed an answer if my phone's already flashed that's it if it is flashed could i skip now on flashing my desired rom? that's just it, just answers from experts. I'm reading btw.

any help will do

On bootloader will say Hard if have hard-spl.
You could have asked in teh thread rather than starting new so as to keep forum clean.
On that note thread closed.
