i was thinking the other day and came to wonder about hard SPL. we always stress to the n00bs that it is very VERY VERY important, but then i noticed that the htc rom tool in the kaiser kitchen has a place to build an spl into the rom. can't we just put the spl from hard spl into the rom tool on all of our cooked roms and save everyone a step later? i wasn't sure who to ask and i don't have a kaiser without hard spl with which to test this so i am asking anyone who can answer sorry if i'm not seeing why this can't be done
I think you've forgotten something.
HardSPL is needed to be able to flash your device. So even if HardSPL is baked into a custom ROM, it wouldn't matter. HardSPL has to be installed first, no matter what. Not having HardSPL installed would prevent you from flashing a ROM.
Luckily installing HardSPL ins't really that hard.
meschle's Artemis ROM's have two batch files.
#1 for HardSPL
And
#2 for the CustomRRU.
So First time flashers can't really go wrong.

Yeah but hard SPL does not always work the same way. Some get white screen. I got 3 devieces. All 3 original TyTN II's. First one (my first deviece) flashed spl easly. But the other 2 deviece were getting white screen. Finaly I managed to Hard SPl it but in a other way.

NOt sure if this is in the right topic, but its slightly rom related.
Can someone please help a noob
I cid unlocked my phone following the topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375583.
all worked well, tried a couple of roms and settled on
L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a (MMS and JAVA updated) rom, seems to be working ok, certainly all my apps work.
However like a typical noob I missed out on some important reading about hard spl and how it can protect my phone from a bad flash.
Now that I've done all of the above, is it too late to go back and protect my phone with hard spl?
SPL -1.0. Olipof
thanks in advance
I think that's done automatically when you flash hard spl.
(someone correct me if i'm wrong please)
step one in that unlocker would have flashed hardspl on your device, if u skipped it then no, its not too late, you can still do it now

No i didnt skip step one, so I guess I'm covered.
Guys thanks for the help, much appreciated!
Just go into bootloader mode (power button + camera button + reset). If the screen shows SPL-1.0.OliPof then you are ok. If not then just reflash hardSPL.
SPL-1.0.OliPof is there in bootloader.
thanks for the help guys.!

Now that i wanted to try again to hard spl and flash cooked roms safely i cant see the usb on the bottom when i do sspl or jump uspl. am i missing something sir??
check for my reply under the sticky at the top of the forum
hard spl flashing...
hello skipper, thesire, and all others,
i wanted to reiterate that you should really read the forum linked above because it has a special "force usb" version of the hard spl installation that mau very well help you.
also, we could all maybe help you a bit more if you could post your firmware/spl versions (the numbers listed at top left on bootloader, but you probably knew that already, lol) Just so we can get a better idea of your situation- the more info the better!
i do a lot of kaiser and athena rom building, I posted a few decent roms at the beginning of the year but i havent released one since... (workin on one now though) but i am not exactly the caliber of rom builder that some of these guys are ... anyways, my point is that i have been in A LOT of hairy situations like this, but persistance is the key, so if i can help in any way i will....

hey genius you are replying to the wrong guy. I DID NOT make the post. The guy who did i already suggested the solution you provided (even before you did) under jockyw's hardspl thread where he posted the same exact problem ....
i have managed to get in to the bootloader to flash the hard spl,using the 1.56 ver of sspl..however,neither of all the hard spl works after that.i cant flash any of the hard spl packages. im really suprise this is happening as i have done a lot of flashing back and forth for my tytnII. oh yah,my spl is 3.29 from the official HTC WWE wm6.1
thanks for all the help..
Hey, Im pretty expierenced in flashing htc phones but I cant flash the kaiser for some weird reason. When I use an RUU its stuck at 0% and then gives a connection error. When using the SD method its stuck on loading. I tried flashing hard spl's but its gives the same errors, its funny though that in boot loader it states that I have hard spl 3.56 or at least I think
KAIS*0
SPL-3.56.0000
CPLD-8
Does anyone know how to solve this problem I've been scowering the forums for the past day and cant find anything, anyhelp is much appreciated, Thank you.
P.S: Does anyone know where you can get the tf3d tp2 keyboard and/or actual t3fd tp2 cab?
When the Kaiser goes to the tri-color screen, don't unplug the USB just hold power and camera buttons and press the reset button with the stylus. this should reboot the phone again but this time you will see "USB" in the white section of the tri-color screen.
I believe 3.56 is an AT$T spl, If it was HardSpl bootloader would read 3.56Hard.
Try following mskips tutorial and use jumpspl to install a hardSpl.
yeah, you haven't properly gotten a HSPL on there. SPL 3.56 is stock.
Should read 3.56 Hard or Hard2 if you're using cmonex's version.
Thx alot guys using jump SPL worked perfectly now im running tf3d on a -g- ROM. Thx again.
Does neone know know how to get the sweet tf3d tp2 keyboard by any chance, I downloaded one that stated that was qvga but it was horribly sized.
just to be clear.......did you use jumpspl to flash hard spl or.........did you flash a complete new rom using jumpspl?
I used JumpSPL to flash Hard SPL, then I flashed my -G- ROM. Worked like a charm
Okay, im really confused after reading all these threads
i used to have a kaiser (but it turnt out to be faulty) and managed to flash hardspl, flash new roms (had wizard, hermes and raphael and flashed all those too) so i'm not a newbie to flashing however im a tad confused about all the new hardspl (jwocky) etc and jumpspl? can someone just give a quick summary about what to do and why it has changed from the ordinary hardspl? as i am looking at buying another kaiser
thank you ever so much

I don't believe anything has changed in regards to installing a HardSPL to a phone. I've been following the same procedures for the last year or two. The Jump Spl files are used when changing / updating your HardSPL via ActiveSync (the only way I do it). Following the instructions on the thread below works like a charm, I've never had a problem. The instructions say HardSPL v3.29, but you can use any of the current HardSPL's just the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Fair enough, as im used to just hardspl'ing the device rather than jumpspl then hardspl.. will do it by the book though when i get my new one (if i manage to sell my poxy blackberry!!!)
All the SPL types are on the SPL Questions wiki page in detail, so I'll save myself repeating.
The reason for the 1.* and 3.* different SPL versions is for WM 6.0 and 6.1 respectivly.
See my Hard SPL sticky for another breif overview.

Hello everybody,
i guess i fryed the g-sensor of my raphael.
noticed it the first time when i instaled a 6.5 rom a few weeks ago and saw that the album app in this rom did not rotate my pictures.
was not to worried about it but recently i tryed a few other progs but non of them respond at all to the movement.
when i open the calibration prog the "bubbles" just stay in the middle, and when i try to calibrate it it does nothing beside telling me to hold the phone still and a after a while "calibration aborted".
i tryed a hard reset, flashing another 6.5 rom, a 6.1 rom, and now even the latest original htc rom, none of this did any help.
did someone had allready the same problem and even knows a fix for that?
or is the only possible fix to return it for repairs?
if i do that and just flashed the official htc rom will also be my slp and radio the correct one or do i need to take some action to get that to warranty compliance?
thanks allread in advance
that is really odd. did u hard reset after flashing the stock rom?
For warranty repairs it is suggested that you flash a stock rom and return the original SPL, not hardspl.
Now i've returned two devices with hardSPL, one the usb port was broken and couldn't flash it back, but i did revert it to the shipped rom. The other, the screen just went completely white on the device and couldn't see anything so just turned it in how it was and never had any issues with warranty attempting to charge me claiming that the cooked rom and hard spl have voided my warranty.
BUT better be safe then sorry and not take any chances right?
yes also think that is really odd, i suspect that the phone fell down one time too much and somehow that sensor is "stuck" or someting like that.
sorry for the stupid question but how can i actually see if i have a stock spl or hardspl? and what spl should be on an original german touch pro?
to check your spl go into bootloader. Do this by holding down the volume key and pressing the stylus in the reset hole. Hold both of them until you get a multicored screen (Red, green, blue, white).
Your spl will be the second line. "SPL-xxxxx" if its just numbers, pretty sure its not hard spl, if it is, you'll get something like "SPL-1.90.OliNex" which is OliNex's 1.90 hard spl.
refer to the wiki for more info, or the sticky threads under the Rom Development section.
when you go into the g-sensor calibration setting, what happens? does the spirit level graphic move??

Wait.... if you don't know if you have stock spl or hard spl, does that mean you've never flashed hard spl? Because you need to flash hard spl in order to flash cooked roms
yes sure i have hardspl but the last rom i flashed is the original from htc. so now i dont know if i still have hardspl or if the original spl from htc came with the rom.
the tree color boot screen says SPL-1.90.OliNex.
i guess that is still the hardspl but i am not 100% sure.
so if its not original, where can i get the original one that came with the german touch pro?
The point of the hardSPL is that so it doesn't change when flashing between roms reducing the chance of bricking your device among other things.
go to this wiki page and it has instructions on how to return your device to stock spl. after you do that, flash a shipped rom for your device and you'll be grand
