Sorry for the newb post but I have followed all the steps for the SIM and CID unlock with Hard SPL,, I installed Dutty's latest rom and have gone back to the OEM rom to compare battery usage and now I want to use a custom rom again. Do i need to run Hard SPL again or is this a one time thing?

read a bit more, please.... you only need read the Wiki and this forum stiky threads to find an answer....
Cheers
First answer absolutely correct - read some more, starting here.
In general, you shouldn't need to re-flash hardSPL unless you've screwed something up. To check, go into bootloader and it should show you your SPL version.
Thank you for the answer.
I do read, (tons) but with all the info here you can go cross eyed at times trying to find stuff.

Btw, Ive been using this forum for a while, and i do plenty of searches. With that said; I just poured over the wiki for the last half hour and then spent a fair amount of time doing MANY searches through the forums search., I eventually found this thread after about 40 minutes through a GOOGLE search query as this forums search couldnt find this... i actually gave up using this forums search query, and had to use google and look through a couple other kaiser forums aswell...
Yes, the saying goes look with your eyes not your mouth. But the search and organization of this forum is not exactly that easy to sift through.. Before you get too upset with this guy for not reading more, know that I as well spent a very frustrating amount of time trying to find this simple answer as well.
Thanks 'Download' for the newb post, and thanks to you 'ach2' for the straight forward answer, without it i would still be stuck.

hi to all!!!
where can i find the 1.13 english language magician rom?
Please use the "Search" option. There are a couple of threads discussing this matter.
For all the dummies I took some time of my valuable life and updated the Magician Wiki page with links to all current ROMs and a thread on how to create BigStorage.
And if anyone finds an error, don't report BUT change it yourself! :evil:
I wonder why no newbie was ever so helpful and did what I did to the Wiki and show some dignity by that. :roll: (after he found out when pushed to the search function).

Thx for the work.
I think most of the newbies do not take a look at the wiki part of the xda-developers. I´ve started with the 2 lkittle howtos, but didn´t have the time, knowledge to add more.....
So, you´re welcome to add more important topics to the wiki....
Stefan
the updated wiki is much appreciated, i know when i first came looking for the rom i went to the wiki but foind nothing on it!
P.S i also think there should be a thread that shows the LATEST roms available and is constantly updated?

Actually, most of the info can be found within the forum using the search function. For me, I just ignore questions that can be answered easily.

I just wonder why people still ask where to look for 1.13 ENG Rom when an obivous topic "Successfully created BigStorage for 1.13 English ROM" is always stay on the FIRST page for this forum on this week.
I have tried downloading the UK 1.12 ROM bur getting "Page can not be displayed" message. Can you please look at this for us. Thanks :?
@talie11: It's real nice of you newbies not reading a BIT of what this page offers. The third post in this thread (mine) gives you a direct link to a the Wiki page giving you direct links to ROM files. Hardly any newbie gives as much back as the veterans here!
i have the same proplem with "DMan"
thank you
i have my HTC 8125 mobile with WM5 OS.
i didnt unlock my CID yet but I will unlock it later right after if someone answers my important question that always twinkling in my mind.
Upgrading roms for WM5 to WM6 is just like installing a application? ( sorry coz this is my first time to do this.)
currently downloading Xplore1.1 and farias rom. is it alrady overclocked when i installed one of those? do i need to overclock my mobile?
thanks alot!
I would stick with Xlpore's Rom, since you didn't mention that you had a 4g or 3g, since it will work great on both. Just extract those files and run it, simple as that. If i were you i would read up a little on the whole process. nothing like having a $200 brick cause you didn't know what you were doin

Dude, you have a LOT of reading to do before I'd suggest you even start to do this (based on that question alone). No, its not like installing an application. You are installing an entire new OS (Installing, not Upgrading). So when you do this, its going to wipe out everything on your phone (not your SD card, but on your phone's internal memory).
I'd highly advise you to read and understand whats in the Wiki for the wizard. Then read and understand the stickies at the top of this forum and the ones at the top of the Wizard Upgrading forum.
For the sake of your phone, make sure you understand this stuff. Don't just run an executable because it sounds cool. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, I just want you to understand what you are looking at doing and understand that flashing custom roms isn't the fix to everything.
Understand also that these custom roms are (for the most part) test things. There are bugs, there are quirks, and there are things that flat don't work. Sure, for the most part they give you more power, and a better functioning phone, but for some of the roms that requires tweaking to get it to that point, so you need to understand what is involved (people here will assist, but we won't spoon feed).
Here's an excellent post with TONS of pointers to information (yeah its buried in the XPLore thread. We need to pull this out into the Wiki or make a sticky with this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1206964&postcount=894
Read and learn before you start flashing. You will save yourself a lot of grief, and may even save the life of your phone.

You definately need to read the Wiki before you do anything. It gives you step by step instruction and will most definately make flashing your device easier. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck.

If you need to ask this question, then you're not ready to upgrade and need to do a lot more studying in this forum. All the information you need is already here.

Ummm... you're in the very forum that it's located in. Here's some helpful guidance:
1. Go here to find out if you have a G3 or G4 model. (It's very important to find out)
2. Unlock your phone. Go here for G3 models or here for G4 models.
3. Pick whatever WM6 version tickles your fancy, located here. (Don't start some thread asking which one is best either, people will kick you in the butt for asking.)
4. Look at the wiki. It has links and instructions to everything I've already listed.
Word of advice. Don't ask silly questions that have been answered, literally hundreds of times. You could have found out everything I've already outlined in about 20 minutes of looking. Most people here are glad to help, but you have to help yourself first and show that you've made some kind of effort to find out the answers to your own questions. You've clearly not done that at all here.
Also, read everything very carefully two or three times before attempting anything first.
Have fun!
i dont think u can so if there is a spl downgrade please tell me
How many posts are you going to start asking the same thing?

You've already been given instructions and links on how to downgrade ipl/spl. One person even provided a cab especially for you that should have downgraded your ipl/spl (and you say it only did the ipl..as I recall) Yes it can be done...many of us manage it every day. If you can't get it to work perhaps you need to take it to someone and pay them to do it..and perhaps next time don't be in such a rush to jump to the latest/greatest version.
WELL i need to no do u no or no anything that can lower my spl
Either 1) You've managed to damage your phone to such a extent that the NORMAL downgrade procedures will not work or 2) You can't follow instructions.
In either case, you need to take your phone to someone who repairs them and pay them to fix the issue.
Nno Its Not Broken
THEN FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS YOU WERE GIVEN.. effin n00b

Yes, and the instructions you SHOULD have followed are in the 6th and 8th post.
You are a perfect example of why the more experienced posters (I'm not claiming to be one of them) no longer want to answer questions on this board. You have been given the answer multiple times...you ignore it.and then you post multiple times asking the same thing.
Whatever rom you currently have installed...keep using it or buy a simpler phone that you can handle.

I just read this entire thread and agree with you entirely. I am by no means an expert and have no knowledge of G3 since I have a G4 but at least I can read and only ask questions when I really can't figure it out and then actually listen to whoever is helping me. I like helping people with what I do know, but this thread is just rediculous.
you can downgrade from 3.08 IPL/SPL by flashing the stock 2.26 tmobile ROM. i do it before every flash. i flash back to the 2.26 ROM to lower my IPL/SPL, then i flash my new ROM, then i flash 3.08 IPL/SPL. works every time...totally repeatable. STOP BEING A EFFIN NOOB
hehehe funny thread @madcap , you killed me back there

Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks
mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...
If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though
good point about the sticky. or we could add it to the wiki, i'll see what i can do in the next few days, but anyone is invited to contribute too (now i'm gettin' lazy, hihi)

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.
Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)
