Do I need a ROM Loader? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

I have a HTC P4300 (wizard) and I have unlocked the CID and have an IPL 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.Olip I downloaded the Blackdiamond 3.1 rom I think but havn't a clue how to put it in the phone, do I need a loader? I'm flashing back to the direct TV loader days.

you need a flashing utility that comes with most roms (if all you got was the .nbf)

Questions about IPL/SPL and hardspl

Hi,
My old Dopod 818 originally showed the following when booting:
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.15.0000
GSM 02.19.21
OS 2.15.13.27
I used "Prophet Upgrade 2.6 - bikertibi" to upgrade it to WM6.1. I selected HardSPL in that program, and flashed it. This worked fine (scary moment
However, when I boot it now, it STILL shows the exact same IPL, SPL and GSM versions. Only the OS version has changed.
My question: is this normal? I thought the hardspl would change the IPL or SPL versions on the phone?
Is it possible or usefull to upgrade IPL/SPL also?
Second question: if I want to re-flash it again to another 6.5 ROM, can I just use this utility again, without hardspl selected, and without first downgrading back to WM5?
Thanks a lot...
Yup, it's normal because cooked roms don't include ipl/spl (prophet has 2 version : G3 and G4) and radio ... you wouldn't want to brick your device if flashing wrong ipl/spl would you?
However, it is recommended to install HardSPL so that if anything happen during flashing, you can recover the device via entering bootloader mode and only select your device version (G3 or G4) without selecting HardSPL.
ps : your device is G3 because it ends with 0000 .. read the wiki. TQ
Thanks for your reply. So I guess there is no need for me to upgrade IPL, SPL or radio.
How do I know if hardspl is installed?
And if I want to re-flash it again to another 6.5 ROM, can I just use this utility again, without hardspl selected, and without first downgrading back to WM5?
PS. I know my device is a G3, since I already flashed it (see above)
Thanks again.
HardSPL have number like this 2.G3.4PDA (for G3) or 2.G4.4PDA (for G4)... if you haven't HardSPL your device, you need to have HardSPL ticked before flashing. And if anything happen during flashing, your hope is to flash NVID flash.
If your device already HardSPL, you can just redo the flashing. No need to flash NVID unless HardSPL gets overwritten by stock ROM.
Hope this helps.
ps : lucky you .. G3 has more storage memory than G4 ... mine is G4 ...
So if hardspl is present, I should see something like SPL = 2.G3.4PDA at the bootscreen? This is not the case, I still see SPL 2.15.0000 like it did before the flashing. So I guess I don't have hardspl? But how can that be? I click on hardspl in the upgrade tool, and it didn't give an error message... Or do I need to add extra SPL files for this?
It's still unclear to me if I have hardspl installed or not :-( If it's "no", how could I have installed a cooked rom??? If it's "yes", how come I still see SPL 2.15.0000 at the boot screen?
Any help is appreciated!
From what I understand, bikertibi upgrade tools suppose to hardSPL the device but sometimes it seems to just load SoftSPL to the device so that it would temporarily make the device SuperCID? (will experimenting on this) Only SuperCID device can accept any rom. That's why if anything happen during the flashing, your device can only be recovered either by flashing specific CID (t-mobile/cingular/etc) rom or NVID (no specific vendor) rom if it doesn't HardSPLed. It will either reject the flashing process and the device will stuck in bootloader mode.
Since your device still shows SPL 2.15.0000 the answer is no, your device is not HardSPL. Cooked rom was flash successfully because SoftSPL in bikertibi 'tricked' the RUU to be SuperCID temporarily during flashing so it can finish writing a custom rom.
HardSPL for G3 can be download here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547
To flash a HardSPL, the device needs activesync/wmdc connection to load a special SoftSPL into the device before it can overwrite the stock SPL.
ps : I recommend you learn how to create SDcard dump if you don't want to HardSPL your device. This is because other than flashing stock ROM/NVID, your device can still be recovered using SDcard backup (it will overwrite everything including ipl/spl/os)
EDIT : Flashed my device to IPL/SPL 2.20.0001. bikertibi HardSPL ticked during flashing only send SoftSPL. Flashing was successful. Still need to flash HardSPL 2.G4.4PDA again after phone boots up normally to make it 'immune' from bricking
aze2learn,
Thank you very much for your help.
Indeed, after using the Prophet upgrade tools and activating "hardspl", hardspl was still not on the phone (so it must have used softspl). I installed it manually via the link you provided, and the SPL value changed! After that, I upgraded it to bikertibi's rom.
Very happy with the result.
Thanks again, I will also try the SDcard dump later.

[Q] WIZA200 Back to life after dead, but can't flash

I bring to life with H-JTAG, but now i see the IPL is 3.08 and the SPL is 2.21 Olip.And if I can flash it with some ruu update he do nothing...again in bootloader after flash with the same IPL/SPL.I try everything but nothing help me please.What can I do now
IPL 3.08 is G3, but your SPL looks like the Olipro HardSPL, which is used with G4.
That sounds wrong to me. Try SPL 3.08, or try an IPL for G4.
On my G3, I use IPL 3.08 / SPL 3.08.
On my G4, I use 2.21.0001 / 2.21.Olip.
Nothing.I flash with everything but he stay on the bootloader with IPL 3.08/SPL 2.21Olip.
The phone is "T-Mobile MDA WIZA200" this thing happen when i try to HSPL but i did not flash with T-Mobile 2.26 ROM and directly flash with 3.08.After that he die.Now I can't flash with nothing.Can I downgrade the SPL/IPL?
EDIT:I flash with "T-Mobile MDA G4 IPL&SPL" and now is IPL2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.Olip.How can I get the IPL/SPL3.08?
EDIT2:How to install greek ROM on this phone?
