Well it's actually possible to load any ROM on your G4 device, only if it is CID-locked then you can't use the RUU update tools then you have to use the tools provided by ITSME. And Jesterz has a ROM_UPDATE.BAT file with his ROMS copy your ROM in the extracted directory of jesterz package and you can flash your G4 device..

mhh .0001 is g4 right?
then i got a g4 cid locked device which works with the RUU updater stuff and every rom I used except for the wizard crossbow rom...

Hi,
I could not get exactly what u mean by RUU updater stuff? I think u mean it is
collective set of files- EnterBootLoader.exe,RUUGetinfo.exe,ROMUpdateUtility_G4.exe and RUUResource.dll. (and a nk.nbf file )
I use above set to flash my G4 prophet (ipl/spl : 2.15.0001) with nk.nbf file which i modify with nb2nbf_tornado.exe and typho5.exe.
I always exclude ipl/spl portion from complete rom and choose only parts which i require. This makes risk free flashing ( till i think so) of my Prophet.
Does ur post means u use to flash ur Prophet with ROMS of devices other than Prophet ? As recently i tried it with wizard Rom but failed. U can read it on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289763
thanx
Nandlal

yeah i mean the collective set of files and my device is cid locked if it wasn't cid unlocked when I bought it.
I never modified the nk.nbf file.
I can't list all the roms I used but basically all of them I'll try to get a list tonight that I used but definitely Jesterz and the pdamobiz roms and one xda neo rom.
I'm not sure right now how I flashed the chinese rom but I'll look to night as soon as I have access to my home pc. I thing it was over an ugraderom.bat.
The ruu crossbow updater for wizard bricked my phone I guess.
And i have the same problem as you have nandlal.
more information tonight

alright sorry for double post but otherwise nobody sees that i posted the list that worked on mine.
xda-neo-update.exe original xda neo rom

these were all roms that worked already on my device
the crossbow rom was flashed over an upgraderom.bat (ffs method I think don't exactly remember the name) and it was customized for the prophet, the chinese version

Higher IPL/SPL. Does it matter?

im just curious as to what the main difference is in having an IPL/SPl of, say, 2.25 vs 3.08 or something else. if anyone could help that would be great

higher IPL/SPL is supposed to give faster boot times

If you do some searching, you'll discover that IPLs/SPLs higher than 2.26 tend to cause problems with custom WM6 ROMs. There's no reason to go any higher than 2.26.

I believe his key words were "If you do some searching....."

No. I do have no problem so far. My IPL and SPL are both 3.08 and using NBD. Very stable and very fast after changing pagepool to 12MB.

IPL/SPL not the same
Hi,
I upgraded my os to WM6 and followed the thread in this forum. Then my IPL/SPL is 2.16. Now they are different , my IPL is 1.01 and my SPL is 2.16, does this matter? Did I missed some procedure? Is there a procedure that can make the IPL/SPL with the same number?

You didn't follow the flashing guide. This time, read the entire guide and all of the stickies before you attempt to unlock your phone.

I don't have any problems with IPL/SPL 3.08, its working great with WM6 and it has bit fast booting time, and i believe this is solid as T-Mob's 2.26. Newer Bootloader doesn't have any issue, beside i dont have any lockups after 3.08. Anyways its your own pref. so i prefer 3.08 and radio 2.69.11 for T-Mob users.

you may have missed a step about having to reflash buttons/love rom a few times until both ipl/spl are in the 1.xx. afterwards flash up to a 2.xx rom (recommended t-mobile usa 2.26), then flash to a 3.xx if you want to (floating around, but there is an official t-mobile ver in germany).

i went to upgrade my ipl/spl and i ran into a problem. the ruu tool reset my phone as usual to restart in bootloader but it never came back on. it cut off and now it wont turn on. can someone help? is my phone bricked?

try booting manually into bootloader if that works, restore using the Official ROM that comes from Carrier.
edit: wait are you telling me that you upgraded your IPL/SPL on G4???? with G3.... Dude thats bad sign

::gulp:: how bad exactly?

SUPER-BAD
G4 + IPL of G3 is BAD!
Not to be insulting at all, but didn't you read those numerous warnings about NOT Flashing G3 with G4, and vice-versa?

There are possibilities for reviving a bricked G4, you might want to check this

Try Googling as well, you might get some ideas and yea good luck bro. I've got a friend who bricked his G4 and revived with those ideas. If you phone is under warranty you can call ATT with last resort and say something happened to your phone when you restarted, never tell them you upgraded the bootloader that is how you messed up.

1 question when your buddys g4 was bricked what was its condition?

Flashing advice.

Hey people.
I bought a TYTN2 off ebay and the previous owner already flashed Duttys rom 29th April onto it. he told me that he applied a HardSPL and flashed the rom.
My question is, I want to flash laurentius diamond V9 rom but I'm unsure if I need to start from the beginning, CID unlock and sim unlock and then apply HARDSPL again or can I just go straight to changing the SPL to version 3.56 and then install the new rom. Which path do you think I should take?
As i'm not entirely sure what the previous owner did to install the Dutt's Rom.
I have been reading the Wikis and FAQ's but i'm still unsure in my situation as i'm not sure what the phone has had done to it in the past.

Hold your camera button down and see if you even need to update to hardspl 3.56. If you do, then update your hardspl and then just flash whatever rom you need....note you may also need an updated radio. In any event, it will not hurt you by starting all the way over.

1. You should determine what SPL you have on your device FIRST
2. if you are doing a 6.1 ROM you will want a 3.xx HARDSPL installed -
3. the WIKI is your friend here - it will tell you how to determine what SPL you have and show you how to upgrade to what you need.
Once you have the CORRECT HARDSPL on your device and you understand the process you can continue - continuing before you understand and have the correct HRADSPL will guarantee that you need help for a bricked phone.
This is not hard - many have gone on before you ...
But you must read and understand.
Bill

Hey thanks for replying guys. Been reading through the SPL Wiki, but cant find how to determine your SPL.
ajmoncrief: Do I soft reset and hold down the camera button?
whk: Thanks for your advice. I have been reading the wikis for a while but I guess it will take a few more days of reading as I find it confusing with all the technical terms etc.
There is one bit which I would like clarification on if possible. in the thread 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396235' is states:
'The reasoning is that those HardSPLs are what allows you to flash a ROM not originally meant for your device (from your vendor/region).
Once you have flashed the HardSPL you can then flash your ROM.
Once your ROM is flashed, you can then flash the SPL which matches that ROM to ensure stability. However, if you want to flash a new ROM, you have to go back to the beginning and flash the HardSPL again to allow you to load another ROM!*
from what I read,
Im assuming that if the previous owner flashed HARDSPL ver 1.xx and then loaded duttys April 29th 6.1 rom. I would need to now reflash HardSPL ver 1.xx again and then jumpSPL to ver 3.56 and then flash the new rom?

Read this -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
This will help you figure out what SPL you have installed -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1846653&postcount=800
and this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
I believe that once you have HARDSPL on your machine it is there permanently - until you flash another one over it - SO - You can go right from HARDSPL 1.0 to 3.xx and then flash your new ROM.
Bill

Thankyou very much for your advice.
I managed to update to HardSPL 3.56 and flash the new rom. All went smoothly (nerve racking) and everything booted up fine. Now i'm just exploring and tweaking the settings.
I couldn't have done it without your guidance and of course the help from wiki and FAQ's.
Cheers!

T-Mobile SPL Question

The T-Mobile Vario III that I have came with SPL v1.56.0000.
I have downloaded the HTC SPL v1.56.0000. Is this the same SPL as the original T-Mobile or will I need a T-Mobile specific SPL?

That will be the one you need.
If you really need the right one, there is a thread on reverting you the OEM SPL. You just extract it from a Dumped ROM.
Ta
Dave

The dumped T-Mobile UK ROM package available here does not have an SPL. Also, there is no downloadable T-Mobile ROM 'upgrade' which contains the SPL.
Would it be possible to dump the SPL from another device? If so, how?

I just tried dumping one and it also doesn't contain the SPL.
Just flash the 1.56 SPL you downloaded.

Flashing rom Noob Help.

I am a noob at flashing and this may have been explained already but i need better clarification.
I had previous sim and cid unlock my phone which is an Att tilt to now function with the T-mobile network.
In my my tri-color screen I have:
KAIS1*0 MFG
Spl-1.0. OliPof
CPLD-8
My radio is R 1.27.12.11
I used Olipof Hard Spl from my understanding,but I want to flash a new rom preferably Dutty v4. What I wanted to know is do I use a new Hard Spl since the rom is current and if so do I have to go through the same process? Also how do I actually flash the rom?
Again I know noob questions I apologize and would really appreciate your help and patience.

if you want to update your hardspl to one of the 3.** hardspls released by jockyw, you can. These hardspl's were released to get rid of the screen freezes reported by everybody using wm6.1 on the old hardspl's. If you have done hardspl flash before than use the same procedure to flash one of the newer hardspls.
Check dutty's thread for what hardspl he recommends. Most commonly advised are 3.29 and 3.28; i had 3.56 and never had any problems with any of the roms.
To flash the rom you have to make sure your device is connected to pc via activesync. Than basically you have to uncompress the rom rar that you downloaded from here. In your folder you will have a ruu_signed.nbh and a kaisercustomruu.exe. You start the flash process by clicking (or double clicking) on the kaisercustomruu.exe. MAKE SURE YOU PHONE IS CONNECTED TO PC when starting this process and battery life is atleast 50%.
Oh and you should always read the wiki to gain more insight related to your device as your question is asked quite often and before posting you SHOULD HAVE checked this thread:
