[Solve] HardSPL or not???

Hi everybody!!
glad to be there...I bought a P4550 today (i'm happy happy happy), and want to change rom
My phone is originally sim-unlock (original HTC?) but I don't know if it's SPL-unlock...
I've tried the HardSPLv1 but stay stuck on a grey activesync icon after unplug-plug operation...not so cool...read somewhere from a guy that you can continue the processus. Right?
Some informations:
Bootloader:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Elements:
ROM version : 1.56.406.5
Date ROM : 08/30/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.17
Protocol version : 22.45.88.07W
WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5
So, do I need to HardSPL it?? or can I directly flash the Rom???
Thanks in advance for any information!!!!
again, I'm happy

HardSPL
You most certainly want to HardSPL your device. It's the best invention since sliced bread.
I suggest running HardSPL and then finding a ROM here you'd like and go to town that way. You can seriously spend weeks reading all the posts to find relevant information--use google to search these forums, it yields far better results than the built in one.
FYI on google if you sarch for "Kaiser HardSPL" you'll get results for all kinds of websites...including those that archive old postings here. A quick fix for searches if you're like me and have a Google Search bar in Firefox is to add "site:xda-developers.com" to your search (e.g. "Kaiser HardSPL site:xda-developers.com").
Check this link for more detailed searches using Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
I can almost guarantee that any question you can come up with in the first few weeks of owning/beginning to flash your device that there's no question you can ask that has not already been asked/answered (including this one I'm responding to).
Cheers,

hi everybody, i have a problem with my kaiser 8925 that after i used for 2 days ,everything was working good ,but a notice that my external memory got stoke and when i pullet out my phone not recognize any storage memory please help me and let me know what i have to do.

Thanks Quentin- for your fast reply!!
Before I posted this thread, I've readen a lot of infos and I can't find an appropriate answer.
Almost all persons who use the HardSPL have an ATT phone, or other, and have sim-lock. That's not my case.
And can't find the direction when you're stuck on a grey icon after unplug/plug. This problem happens on Vista...But I'm on WinXP...I'm confused...
Hope there's someone here who had same problem...
Thanks again for all this beautifull work on xda-dev

For Kanky1
Please, start a new thread...we don't have same troubles...
EDIT...
Welcome OliPof...
I think I was little anxious for no reason...HardSPL ran like a charm...
Sorry for this useless thread...

ROM vs. Radio Which is the difference?

I already install Duttys Dualtouch v4 RTM on my Tilt, is working good, working slowly sometimes,
The radio version is the 1.27
Do u have to change the radio version? where can i get those new versions?
What do you think should i do?
Thanks

Hello,
Read this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
It contains information about problems and improvements of several radios's

I think you should READ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375
Then ask

I like seeing this, junior's helping junior's. That's something I haven't seen in a while.
Way to go.

Oh my. This is the type of question that could get you killed on this forum. Follow this link to the Kaiser Wiki. I suggest you start by reading the "ROM Flashing FAQ for Newbies". Hopefully you read the flashing instructions and installed HardSPL prior to flashing Dutty's ROM.

No ring volume after flashing Dutty ROM

Hi All
I am really sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but i couldn't find an answer.
I upgraded to this fantastic ROM today (thanks Dutty). However, there is no ring sound! I have tried fiddling with settings but i'm a but stumped.
TIA to anyone who can help.
And once again, sorry if the fix is obvious/documented elsewhere!

I hope you have some flame retardant skivvies close at hand.

Go easy on me - i have been registered for over a year and thats my first post. i have been too scared to post.

Is it a 6.1 Rom? If so, what radio are you using?

This thread will solve your problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349375

Its radio 1.27.12.32
Do I just re-install the radio version? Its not clear in that thread what I am supposed to do.
Thanks for your help.
Edited to add: Yes, its WM6.1

Can someone please explain about radio

I ve just flash Duttys roms which has a radio 1.65.14.06

thank you

nope u don't need to .. plus it won't work as that is a wm6 radio

Thanks thesire for fast reply
one more question if i flashed a dutty`s diffent rom with a diffent radio would that make any diffence
thanks again

pretty much all of dutty's roms include a radio that is compatible with that rom and also dutty typically lists any radio that won't work with rom.
if the radio that came with rom isn't working well for u in ur region than i suggest flashing a different radio.
just beaware there is a radio out their that locks itself to ur device meaning it won't let u upgrade or downgrade from it unless u use a program by jockyw called frankenkaiser.

thanks again for fast reply thesire
Wow i did,nt know that thanks for the info just getting use to this flashing rom
if i flash another dutty rom can i just flash it over it or would i need to downgrade or not am just open to install any rom no matter what version like windows 6 and windows 6.1
thanks again

Yeah 1.65.17.10 at&t original radio aka the radio from hell... although Jocky has tamed the beast...

as long as u have hardspl flashed to ur device u can upgrade/downgrade between wm6 roms and wm6.1 roms.
just to avoid conflicts though always hard reset ur device after a rom flash.

Thanks to all for reply
Let the flashing Begin LoL
once again thanks all your help you guys Rock

Here's another simple question from a relative noob:
I've read so much out there about radios, but I want to try some of the new 6.1 ROMs out there but am not sure about which radios would be compatible with my AT&T Tilt. I'm currently on the 1.27.14.09 and in cowardly fashion have tried the ROMs built for this one, are there specific radios that I should be looking at that will be compatible? I saw the wiki on kaiser radios, but they don't factor in the 6.1's yet.
any info/clarification is very much appreciated.

yup, that clarified it....feel rather foolish as I'd seen and read that... so if I'm understanding the whole radio subject, of those 6.1 AT&T compatible radios, it's just a matter of finding the one that gives me 1) no issues, and 2) the best reception, etc. And this is just a matter of experimentation....
Good grief, so much to learn, so many ROMs to try.... hmmm, working from home and playing with ROMs, is it surprising that I'm having a tough time getting anything done????

Just one last question....
I switched from the AT&T 1.27 radio to the 1.65 (as noted below). Last Tuesday I sent a couple of text messages and left two voice mails and none of the txt msgs were received and the vm's took almost three days to be delivered.
Would this just be an issue of the area I was in (Denver, CO) that week (I live in Nevada) or could this be a radio issue?
Thanks for any input/insight..... I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Flashing an AT&T tilt with an Official HTC Rom

Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller

you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.

Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!

read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel

@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.

Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?

search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki
