OK please don't flame me as I am going round and round in circles jumping from one thread link to another trying to get to grips with this stuff!
OK...
The other day I tried to install the hardspl and got the white screen problem.
I followed the thread to sort that out and all appeard ok and the phone continued to work OK under HTC stock 6.1
Yesterday I flashed L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release and have been playing around with it trying to sort stuff out.
I then started reading the thread about ultimate radios and trying to work out what other radios work with this ROM and how I go about installing them and read I need to confirm the spl I am on and so did the hold camera button and reset to see the spl version.
It says the following:
KAIS130 MFG
SPL-1.0.0liPof
CPLD-8
Now from what I understand it should say SPL-3.2X or similar?
But it does not?
I thought that I needed the SPL-3.2X etc in order to flash cooked ROMS but it looks like I dont have that......so how was I able to flask L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V8_light release ?
Thanks

Read the SQL Questions thread in the Wiki. It will explain a lot of this to you.
In short, any HardSPL will allow you to flash, it's just the 3.* ones are more compatable with the latest WM6.1 builds.
EDIT:
Normally I'd flame you for this, but Im already flaming another noob atm That doesn't mean someone else wont flame you later.

If you are able to flash a ROM onto your device, then you must have an UNLOCKED phone. For simple instructions on upgrading to the new SPL I suggest you visit the following :

Good luck.
Well I am sure I am gonna get flamed for this post, but here goes....
BTW "I AM NOT MOANING OR PICKING FOR AN ARGUMENT" I know this info here is given as is and appreciate the time people spend putting it all together
For the noob there is a trillion things to read here all of which lead to another trillion things which lead to ......
This phone flashing is all new to me and as I paid £434 for it I dont want to brick it, a term along with many I have never heard of before coming here.
I digress...
Anyway after reading and trying to understand it all I have flashed my phone and it works a treat and I am happy, just still in the dark about many things.
The thing is as a noob it is extremely daunting to start to read a thread, wiki etc to try to understand about a topic which diverts you to threads which divert, divert, divert so that after 3-4 diversions you foget what it was you were readiing about to start with!
And then you get to the point....I dont understand this...should I post lest I get flamed.......
So basically from a noobs point of view....everyone was a noob at some point, be gentle with us!
OK.....let the pachjo bash commence...........
Not a flame, just my way of working...
You raise some good points about the amount of info here. But like most here I managed to flash my device without posting a single new thread. If I had a problem with a step I posted there.
_Alex_ has consolodated most info into the single sticky. And there are step by step guides and FAQs on the Wiki.
I just took it one topic at a time:
*Found a ROM, said I needed HardSPL.
*Found HardSPL, installed it.
*Flashed ROM.
*No sound, found thread explaining about Radios. Flashed Radio.
*and so on.
I was (and still do) always reading thread that I found related to me learning as I go and helping where I can. I too like you knew nothing when I first joined and no one minds "noobs" asking questions in the relevant threads when they get stuck, but this is ROM development forum. All new threads should pertain to ROM "development".

you must use (aka JumpSPL )file before changing the SPL
this jumber must be in your device before flashing the new hard SPL

Thanks guys.....am reading away and will take onboard your comments
first off, you can flash any rom with the olipof hardspl 1.0. the problem is, you will get screen freezes every once in a while. Using jumpspl, you can go to another hardspl. Usually jumpspl is included in all the new hardspls, but maybe not. Get familiar with what jumpspl is and then switch to hardspl.

If you are already using that phone with T-Mo, then security unlock, hard spl and flash away! The best thing to do here is read read read! And dont be suprised if they move your thread! You can PM me though if you have any more questions! I will help you if I can!
sorry, just so that i dont turn my phone into a brick but what you are saying is that i can just flash my rom without any other steps.
thanks for the quick response.

As far as what you mean by " lose my lock" I am not sure, but, you will need to CID unlock and hard-spl for sure! Do you have the AT&T Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1? I canot stress how important it is to read everything you can and be as informed as possible before you flash! I dont want to sound like I dont want to help (thats why we are here) But If you are already SIM unlocked it would still be wise to follow all the steps just to make sure you are covering all your bases, after all we do love our phones alot (often brought up by my sometimes jealous girlfriend! LOL! Read and use this...

No SPL is the bootloader on your phone when you hard SPL it keeps you from bricking your phone and allows you to flash non oem ROMs! If you Follow and read the links I just posted for you, you will be fine! I also use T-Mobile on a Tilt and I followed the steps and read alot and everything worked out perfect! I had to do the whitescreen fix, so it does work! I hope that helps!
P.S. Follow the instructions step by step, they are very important! Time consuming but worth it!
thank you very much
Please re-read the Newbies threads if you need an explanation as to what HardSPL is and how to install it and then flash a ROM. If you merely SIM unlocked to get on to T-Mobile, you will still need to CID unlock, so as a precaution you should do EVERYTHING in the newbies guide. Also, instead of just asking what HardSPL is, try following the links provided.
The community tends to be much more helpful when you have done your research and taken initative before asking for a direct hand out. This thread is better than average, but I thought I'd give you the heads up before flames come in from others.
Do everything here, all of it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Also note, the steps saying to remove your SIM and SD cards are very important.

thank u flashed it already.......sorry for the simple question re: hard spl.
HardSPL
Follow the tutorials. Get Hard SPL. Don't cut corners, you may brick your phone. Hard SPL will allow you to flash basically worry free.
It's great that your phone is unlocked, but that doesn't mean you can't brick it. I'd try to explain in greater detail, but the sticky posts at the top of this forum should be much better at it than I am.
Please post your questions in one of the threads already created. No need to create a new thread for random new questions.
hi everyone,
iv got a htc touch pro,to be precise it is my first ever smartphone and i have tried to flash and add a new rom to my handset.i read all forums and threads on various sites about how to perform a successful flash and rom.installation of the rom were successful,but my phone does not load up to main screen at all!does that mean my touch pro is bricked????however,i can go to the bootloader and try a hard reset,but that doesnt work either.i have found out that my handset was already unlocked using Olinex.
Please can anyone help me out???im really really stressed out.
many thanks.
Ok, best thing to try is to download the official factory rom.
Start the phone and get it to the boot-loader screen.
Plug it in to your PC and wait for the word USB to show up at the bottom of the phone's screen.
Next run the factory rom installation on the PC and go through the steps. It should hopefully flash fine back to the original OS.
thanks alot,that really helped!!!!you havent a clue how stressed out i was when that happened.anyways,i could do with some more help.since i bought this phone,my net has NOT been working.it was officially branded on vodafone but it was unlocked by previous owner.i have ordered official settings from Htc and o2 themselves and still no result.anyone have any solution(s) for this problem?????
like alot of people have said to me,without net on these smartphones,the TP is nothing!so if anyone has a solution,please DO tell me about it
Many thanks.
I would disagree that without internet smartphones are nothing.... but that's not the point. Do you know which ROM you're using?
Are you using a stock rom? if so, from which company.
Alot of people here have their signature to show what rom/radio/phone (type) they have. it makes it easier for those who want to help to provide answers or suggestions faster and you wont have to get nagged asking the same question everytime
Firstly - slow down!
Not quite sure if you have a problem now or not, and if you do, if its the same as you started with.
From what you have written:
You have read some stuff
You have flashed some stuff
it hasnt worked as you expected
you asked for help on here
you may have flashed some more stuff
you may or may not have a problem still.
No offence, but its pretty tricky to offer much in the way of useful assistance when we dont know what state the phone is in.
Dont panic - enter the bootloader. Note what it says (SPL)
Reset, note the rom & radio versions.
See what works & what doesnt.
Read the forum rules - especially about starting new posts and how to name them (seriously urgent help needed isnt very descriptive). Use the search function to see if your problem has been answered (lots of connectivity issues will have been). If you still are having problems, reply to this post, or make a new one if more appropriate, saying clearly what you have (including rom & radio as appropriate) and what you are stuck with.
Oh, welcome to the forums.
if i flashed a gsm radio on a cdma? jus curious cuz i did that
Get your operators ship rom, then flash it via SD card. Reflash HardSPL and then flash a CDMA rom.
Oh dear. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember when someone has done that before, the phone was bricked (i.e. flashing the wrong radio, not just the wrong ROM). I do hope I'm wrong.

He said "cuz I did that", i.e. he *did* flash a GSM radio onto a CDMA device.
Suppose, but I would of expected a n00b to of posted something more like
"HELP!!!!
I flashed a sprint radio to my Tmo TP2 and now it wont turn on
PLZ PLZ PLZ HLP ME!"
he seemed rather calm
thanx for posting, well i thought i broke my phone a couple of days ago prior to this bcuz my phone turned off out of nowhere and wouldn't come back on even after being charged for an hr. then it turned on a couple hrs later when trying again. (dont ask me how bcuz Ive never had this problem before) and yes i did flash the wrong radio so im done for right? the reason why im being calm is cuz i thought i was gonna have to replace my phone in the first place. i was hopefully wishing on the inside for a miracle

Well, unless someone comes forward and says otherwise, I'm sorry to say yes, I think you're done. In the past one or two people have posted up a similar scenario and I don't recall them posting to say they fixed it.
It might cost you less than replacing your phone if you pay for your phone to be repaired.
Well possibly not. IF you can still get into bootloader (hold the volume down button when powering on or if device is already on hold down volume down and softreset) first LOOK AT THIS TASK 29 POST HERE BUT DONT DO ANYTHING YET!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Make sure to download the file provided, extract it to wherever.
Now goto this post here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90342
and download the correct radio for your provider.
Replace the NBH file from the TASK 29 threads package you extracted with the one from your provider.
Run the task29 as instructed.
Once its done it wont boot into a rom you need to go back into bootloader like I told you how before (Volume down and reset) now find your providers stock rom from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
and flash that rom to your phone. Hopefully this will resolve your issue, best of luck to ya mate.
To anyone ready to post disagreeing: Please dont post up saying about task29 and saying it wont work and stuff, I have fixed two worldphone this way because the owners did exactly what he did, in the way I described here.
thanx aestivalisakito im willing to try what your taking about. have a couple of questions tho. its not that im making it go into bootloader. when i hit power it goes str8 to it. could that be a problem for this fix?
my screen sticks at the multi colored screen with writting in the background saying" code error please try again".and i noticed that, one time while powering on b4 getting stuck. it, for a split sec. try to go to the grey screen to flash and says "loading No image found" then back to multi colored screen. does this help any?
also can i use task29 thru sd card?
thanx for your help

Ahh it appears you weren't that clear. If you get into the multi-coloured screen, you are at bootloader. Download a rom from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms to get your original shipping rom. Once you have done this, put the nbh on the sdcard named as rhodimg.nbh. Reboot back into bootloader mode. This should then get you able to flash the device with all the proper stuff.
Make sure to get the one for YOUR original provider.
thanx i got it fixed. someone helped me on another forum with the same solution and it worked thanx for ur reply

Awesome. Glad everyone helped you get your phone back. Just be more careful next time. Cheers!
so all you did was SD card flash an original ROM from your carrier? just asking for future reference.
Hi everyone,
So I updated the stock SPL back to my phone while having a CDMA rom on my device. Looks not like a problem at all, but appearantly it is when your phone is not a CDMA rom After that the phone won't boot anymore.
Since then I am not able to update my device to ANY rom, not even the stock rom. The updater keeps giving me the famous 262 error and hangs at 0% of the update. XDA-user orfeo_b has messaged me a while ago that he had a task29 program for windows 7 to format my phone. But he didn't respond to my message. So my question is: is there anybody who has this program for my phone? and if not, is there any other possibility to empty/format my phone?
Why did you create two threads in the same forum? (THREAD LINK)
You not want to post HERE, did you even bother to do any searching in HERE
You do know the FUZE is GSM, correct?

sorry, a second after saving I realised that my topic was a question so I posted the topic again accidentally.. I searched the whole forum for weeks but didn't find any solution. As I said, I accidentally flashed a CDMA rom to my GSM phone.
User benjamminzIS started the thread HERE
Perhaps give that a once or twice over and see if it works for you. Be sure to leave some feed back if it does!
Additionally, I must confess that I skimmed your post because you posted twice and didn't think anything of it after the fact. So I apologize if I came off slightly rude. Was not my intent!
There's a pretty good chance your phone is dead now. Flashing the stock spl after bricking your phone with a cdma rom is probably the worst thing you could have done. What were you thinking? With the stock spl, you can't flash task 29, or anything, for that matter. I guess you can try flashing hard spl, but you have to keep in mind that this 'stock spl' is not in fact the real stock spl (it's a patched stock spl that is capable of over-writing the hard spl). I'm not sure if it can be over-written with hard spl; I guess you'll find out. If you had read any of the posts on reverting to stock for warranty purposes, you would have seen that the absolute last step is flashing the 'stock spl', because once you do that, the device is locked.
Now, if you also flashed a cdma 'stock spl', then you can definitely throw the phone away.
