extremely i need help.
i have "K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe " i don't know how can i upload that rom to my phone..
You can't downgrade to an 1.x rom on a G4. You will brick you're device. Just wondering.... why do you want to downgrade?
indeed the rom you have is already pretty old and crappy why do you want an older crappier rom on there?
because i could not use my phone in this country. Its blocked. if i can downgrade my rom, can i change what i need ?
Thats the why i want to do downgrade..
If i'm wrong pls what can i do..

Downgrading for Upgrading
Dear friends. I recently installed a game named Assassin's Creed on my K Jam. When ever I play this game or other games I get white screen of death after 15 minutes. I want to upgrade my Rom to WM 6.1 for this reason. I have currently WM 5. Now the problem is that my phone is G4. It can't be cid unlocked. I have even used Hard SPL. Soft SPL. Every program from lockiwiz to some cab files. I can't unlock the damn cid. Now what can I do. I have read that there is a rom called CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe. Is this an old rom which I could downgrade to? Can it be downgraded in G4. Please Help! I am in great trouble. The errors I get when upgrading are sometimes This Rom can't be upgraded please hard reset and try again. Error 629 or something. And anohter rom gives a message you mk.mbf file is older so this rom can't be upgraded. Error 600 I think. Thanx in Advance.

Yipeppepepep. I am successful. I am successful. I am successful. Dancing. I am greatfull. You are an angel just like in the movie perfume. Although I will not eat you. Hhahaha. THanx buddy. Your short but precise tutorial was far better than those confusing posts. They have contributed though but it would have been better if they would have catogorized between G4 and G3. Thanx again. And marry christmas to all christians. By the way tomorrow is Muslims' eid. Eid Greetings to all the muslims.

Both the programs 'SoftSPL' and 'HardSPL' are invented by the same very valuable member ' the-equinoxe ' and are posted as Stickies in the G4 forum with clear instructions/heading that its meant for G4 devices.Its strange you cudn't differentiate it as G3 or G4,only if you wud have read it and understood it,instructions are very much crystal clear.Thousands and thousands have benefited from these programs and applications,there's nothing confusing about it.Strange!!!
ksrikanth has simply narrated the same instructions and nothing new,though!
You shud give this credit to the original inventor of these programs,otherwise,there was no other known program to upgrade a G4 device to wm6.He is the 'Angel' in fact.A great service to the wizard community at large,we all will always be thankful to him
And,Thanks for the EID greetings

Dear I was making a mistake. First it didn't tell to copy the nk.nbf file to the soft spl folder in that post as far as I can remember. Secondly I was installing the rom after taking out battery when white screen comes and then trying to install it through bootloader. That was confusing. And the instructions got jumbled up at that time. I mentioned G3 catogrization according to other posts in which bootloader way is instructed but it is only for G3 and not G4. Where as in G4 we have to install rom while the white screen is there and that should also be through the nk.nbf file which we copy from the rom folder to soft spl folder. THis thing was not clearly written in the rest of the posts. This is what I was talking about. As it is my first flashing. So I faced these problems. Anyways this way or that way I got my objective and that is the thing which means to me most. All the people of previous posts as well as this user have contributed so all get credit. Cheers. And best regard.
Placing nk.nbf in the SpftSPL folder is only required while flashing through SoftSPL method,this is a temporary method,you'll always have to use or flash through SoftSPL,but if you apply HardSPL,the phone is Semi-Permanent CID unlocked and remains like this untill you personally don't remove HardSPL.With HardSPL,you just flash and upgrade in Bootloaders like an official stock rom or as in G3,thats the difference in SoftSPL and HardSPL.Yes! a G4 device can be Flashed/upgraded through Bootloaders.BTW,sSPL is a bootloader too
I'll suggest,you reread the SoftSPL sticky again.Regarding instructions in the SoftSPL sticky, I quote:-
"USE AT OWN RISK
How To use?
If you don't know what a G4 safe ROM is, don't even try to upgrade!
WILL NOT WORK IN VISTA
-Unzip SoftSPL.zip
-copy the nk.nbf file from desired G4 safe ROM to the SoftSPL folder
-Fully Connect to ActiveSync
-Run START-sSPL.exe
-the Screen of your Device will turn white, don't panic, this is normal
-SoftSPL will now run the RUU, proceed as usual (the screen of the wizard will stay white during whole process, again don't panic!)
DO NOT PROCEED WITH RUU if the screen isn't WHITE, OR when in bootloader SPL version isn't 2.21.olip"

Buddy. I was talking of that stupid multi colored boot loader. Although I have no problem with the developer or his product. But I want to ask one question. IF things get done with soft SPL then whats the need of Hard SPL. I mean to hell with permanent semi cid unlocking. just relax fool the G4 for sometime get the job done and thats it. Anyways. You win and I loose. Man. They were clear and I was blind. Hhahhahhahah
Ok now here is a problem which I have been facing since I bought my K Jam. Dear. Tell me that can I assign the asterisk button * key to any soft key. Because some games like Assassin's Creed are not recognizing the asterisk key so if by some registry hack will it be possible to re assign that key so that the game may recognize it. OR is there any emulator for games which can assign the control keys?
hey ! i need to return my wizard in about 1 month to the store and get a new phone. the thing is , they want it the same software it was before i upgrade. it's no possible to downgrade to wm5 ?

Which is your device,G3 or G4 ? and which rom is working on it at present.YES! its always possible to revert back to official rom and Bootloaders (IPL/SPL),only the method differs for both the devices.

Hi,
Your device is already flashed to hardspl so do not flash any official ROM's Or you will surely brick your device. Which is the maker of your wizard?
Short details of hardspl :
ipl 2.21.0001
spl 2.21.olip ( Is known as hardspl )
Follow these steps to remove hardspl:
1. Download Qtek 9100 G4 Main IPl&SPL.zip which is attached below. ( Do no worry, this zip is for all th G4 Device which have 2.21.0001 SPL/IPL )
2. Download softspl from here : Link
3. Extract softspl and the provided zip file.
4. Go to extracted folder of the Qtek 9100 G4 Main IPl&SP and copy nk.nbf file.
5. Go to extracted folder of the softspl and paste the nk.nbf file*.
6. Connect your wizard and make sure your activesync is fully connected.
7. Run START-sSPL.exe from softspl folder.
6. Wait till the dos windows apps ends to 100%.
7. Dos windows closes and ruu will be opens.
8. Take a look on you wizard screen, that the screen should be fully white and no active led on top of the device ( I mean network led, power led, wifi led or bluetooth led).
9. If step 8 is OK then you continue to flash the spl/ipl. Follow the RUU instruction to flash the ROM.
10. It completes in 1 - 2 min. Till then do not disconnect or open any softwares. Keep it mind that, your flashing spl/ipl and if something goes wrong, you will surely brick your device )
11. Now you removed hardspl.
Note : *nk.nbf and START-sSPL.exe files should be side-by-side.
Steps for flashing official ROM:
1. Download the official ROM ( Note the official ROM should be the same maker of your device. I mean, If you have a qtek 9100 then you should download qtek official ROM.
2. Extract the official ROM which you have downloaded.
3. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
4. Now you can continue to flash the ROM.
5. Thats all, Now you have the official wm5 ROM.
At unknown percents RUU may hang but you do not afraid or disconnect the device. Wait some time it will surely omplete the flashing.
Warning :
* Before flashing, make sure you have ups for the pc.
* Use windows xp.
* Before flashing, make sure you have not running any background software.
If you have any trouble, Plz PM or post here......
Good Luck
Thanking You

Ok,no problem,as your phone is HardSPL,first remove HardSPL,reflash back to official original Bootloaders(IPL/SPL) and then afterwards reflash the official stock rom with which your phone came,its all very easy,just read and follow this link :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
And,just don't worry about the old Radio Rom or old IPL/SPL,as its permissible to upgrade by the carrier,just tell them,if they ask,that you upgraded to latest IPL/SPL and Radio Rom,they won't bother.
Its only the Custom Rom and CID unlock they object to,as long as official stock rom is working and G4 devices don't get CID unlocked,it'll show as CID locked,therefore,they have no objection.
Hello everybody!
I made up a new version of pof's USPL, which is explicitly for the ELFIN 128/256 MB devices. So now you can flash SPL in step three without bricking your ELFIN, as USPL for ELF used to do.
This version is based on the ELFIN 2.20.0000 SPL and was patched the same way as USPL for ELF.
Download here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/94753943/ELFIN_USPL.rar
It has been tested by various users including myself and was verified to work without any problems.
Even though, I take no responsibility for any damages on your devices.
Thanks to pof for his great work!
If it doesn't work for you right away, follow the instructions in this file to enable RAPI prior to using USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46098&d=1186268099
EDIT:
SOME PEOPLE GIVE THE INSTRUCTION ON MY ELFIN USPL TO CANCEL STEP THREE. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING WHAT THIS STEP IS? WITHOUT THIS STEP, THERE IS NO (!!!!!) SENSE IN ELFIN USPL.
So please stop giving tutorials on things you don't understand.
STEP 3 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! RUN IT, DON'T CANCEL.
good news for elfin users! well i will use this version when i got a chance lol thanks for your great job tho~
btw got you a mirror link: http://www.fs2you.com/files/0bbd31fa-e3ad-11dc-91b6-0014221b798a

Great!Thank u very much!

i have the same question.
I received a "corrupt image error" at step 3, i rebooted the device and is working fine like nothing has happened, any clues?
I have this ROM installed:
RUU_Elfin_CHT_OPEN_2.20.753.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe
IPL 2.20.0002 and SPL 2.20.0000 both remain unchanged after running elfin-uspl.exe
what is difference from pof's USPL?
as i used it to update my ELFIN without any problem
With pof's ELF USPL you are able to proceed till the end step 2 and then flash the ROM you want. If the ROM is not okay, your device is bricked.
Also, for like 99 percent of our ELFIN users, flashing USPL in step three used to brick the device.
With my USPL, ELFIN users can run step three without bricking the device.
-> Why flash USPL in step 3?
Because only then you will be able to flash any ROM from bootloader, not only from a running OS.
@giants2k
Please make sure your device is RAPI enabled. You can find the necessary files including a manual on how to unlock RAPI here:

Nice, very nice tool ... no more brick then
Thanks for the work
Can someone please clarify this for me.
I bought my cellphone from Vietnam, and it is unlocked. It is windows 6 prof, and I am very serious about flashing my baby to 6.1. When I was in Vietnam, I was using VietTel, t-Mobile, and in Mexico using Telcel.
BUT I bricked my iMate Sp3i before, and didn't want(CAN'T afford) to brick another one.
The question would be.
Because it is unlocked. Do I need to CID Unlock my Elfin P3452 before upgrading to 6.1? Thanks in advance.

somemore questions..
after runnig 2 steps successfully in pof's app, if rom update fails then i think it does not brick all the time.. atleast not 99% !!
is SPL temporary updated means after some update again CID is locked?
or it is permanent?
Excelent work djvw !! many thanks, I can confirm that works fine, three users in our spanish forum flashed this USPL and it works in all cases... no more white screen to flash roms.....
my problem is that my elfin gets stucks with that stupid penguin and 75% on my pc in step 2... doesnt move ahead at all.. did install the rapi cabs too.. did reset too.. any help or tips or guidance would be really helpful

Try with a hard-reset, some users get white screen after hard-reseting the device.
and remove SDHC memory card if you have it.

Does this one work on ELF ? Anyone tried already?
I have an ELF touch with 2.20.0000 SPL, should I use this ELFIN version or use the 1.11 ?
Hi I have a G4 Prophet and the IPL and SPL version number reads 2.10.0001.
I would like to flash it to use a WM6.1 ROM with the touchflo type functionality and new IE Mobile features (i.e. zooming).
I have read through all the guides about carrying this out and have even started having a go but am getting confused about HardSPL.
From what I read HardSPL CID Unlocks your phone so that you can install a diffeerent Carrier (e.g. Orange, Vodaphone) ROM ... or in fact a home 'cooked' ROM off of this site.
I have tried manually carrying out the HardSPL using both the Prophet Tools GUI and the command line batch file HardSPL however after the procedure finishes my IPL and SPL do not read differently as all posts indicate (i.e. they do not read 2.G4.4PDA) ... instead they remain as 2.10.0001.
I have seen the phone go to the tri-colour bootloader screen and even the progress bar go up correctly however when it reboots it says 2.10.0001. I'm assuming that I cannot go ahead and flash with a ROM (such as the Shadow TE one until the SPL reads 2.G4.4PDA).
Can anyone offere me some help with getting to this?
Many thanks.
Nick (a very much noob!)

I have seen the phone go to the tri-colour bootloader screen and even the progress bar go up correctly however when it reboots it says 2.10.0001. I'm assuming that I cannot go ahead and flash with a ROM (such as the Shadow TE one until the SPL reads 2.G4.4PDA).
Can anyone offere me some help with getting to this?
Many thanks.
Nick (a very much noob!)

I would recommend you use something like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547 It makes it a one stop upgrade... That uses "JumpSPL" rather than HardSPL which is the short term option.
Thanks for the help I tried the alternative lazy tool and it worked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2141436&postcount=188) now my Orange SPV M600 has the Shadow Touch edition rom on it with the shadow cube addon, so far works a treat.
I would still be interested to know why the SPL version number did not change using the prophet tools or HardSPL on its own.
Anyway many thanks again.

What is your devices IPL?
It may be because Soft/Jump SPL was not executed properly prior to HardSPL (this is automated through the HardSPL tools and Prophet Tools).

i did it!! thanks!!!
I made it, use SoftSPL.

ELF IPL 1.17.0002 & USPL 1.17.0000This is a newer version of USPL for Elf (based on SPL 1.17.0000) for CID unlocking on similar lines of pof's Elf_USPL based on Elf SPL 1.11.0000.
Credits:
1. pof: for the 1st Elf USPL 1.11.0000.
2. ayyu3m: first person to test new USPL 1.17.0000 for me coz i dont have an Elf.
Note:
1. Should be used only on Elf with IPL 1.1X.XXX2. Some Elf owners have been using USPL 1.11.0000 with IPL 2.2X.XXX2 already without any problem. If that is the case, this USPL should work for those IPLs as well, but i can not guarantee.
2. Keep a shipped ROM for your phone in case of emergency.
3. If you are already using patched SPL 1.11.0000, then you can just run the romupdateutility.exe inside RUU folder to flash this SPL.
4. As it is based upon Elf_USPL, 'rapi' should be enabled before using it.
5. Check post 2 for USPL 1.19.0000, post 3 for USPL 2.26.0000 and post 4 for USPL 2.28.0000.
Don't hold me responsible if something goes wrong
Elf USPL 1.19.0000 by kokotas
ELF IPL 1.19.0002 & USPL 1.19.0000Another new USPL 1.19.0000 based on Elf original SPL 1.19.0000 has been patched by kokotas for CID unlocking. The nbh file of this USPL ready to be flashed can be downloaded here.
The procedure of flashing it is similar to previous USPLs and the instructions in post 1 apply to this USPL as well.
ELF & ELFIN IPL 2.26.0002 & USPL 2.26.0000
ALWAYS HAVE AN ORIGINAL STOCK ROM AS A BACKUP IF IT DOES NOT EXIST YOU ARE ONLY INCREASING THE RISK OF GETTING INTO MORE TROUBLE
Instructions for ELF.
EDIT 30/07/08: As confirmed by eshield (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2465989&postcount=96), Elf owners can directly upgrade the IPL/USPL.
EDIT 06/09/08: Directly upgrading IPL/USPL in one go may or may not work for all of Elf owners (if the Elf is pre-release or old one). If your phone (Elf only) is stuck at Smart mobility screen with IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26, try downgrading the IPL to 1.19 or 1.17.
For users that already have IPL 2.2X series
First make sure your device is application Unlocked. By installing EnableRapi.Cab & Cert_SPC.Cab on your device, then reboot the phone.
Take out MicroSD card from Slot.
Connect Device through Active Sync.
Run the elf-uspl.exe from the Extracted Download (ELF_USPL_2.26.0000.zip)
Watch Screen and Press Enter When Asked.
Screen should Jump to White on Phone and on PC Flashing Loading Bar will Show.
Stuck in Black Ducky Loading Screen?, check Active Sync Connection or Do a hard reset on Phone first. But be sure to do the last Actual Flashing in White Screen. Sometimes this needs a few tries to go through white screen.
Done.
For users that have IPL 1.1X series
Steps below are all recommended to remove Micro SD card.
First Make sure you allready have a Patched Pre 2.26 SPL (ELF_USPL_1.17.0000.zip)
You can install this Patched Wit the Same Instructions as above for the 2.26 SPL.
Then When you have a Patched 1.1X SPL install the 2.26 IPL (ELF_IPL_2.26.0000.zip)
After you have rebooted you can confirm your SPL & IPL versions by pressing Reset Button With Stylus and Pressing and Holding the Camera Button to get into TriColour Bootloader.
Reset Phone Back into the OS And follow instrcutions above for Flashing Patched 2.26 SPL.
At this point you do not to install CertSPC.cab & EnableRapi.Cab
Done
Unless you are familiar with these processes do not try them, and wait for more confirms.
Flashing is done at own Risk and might Void your Warantee.
Note:
You can also update the IPL&USPL to 2.26 together in one go if you are already using the USPL 1.17.0000 or USPL 1.19.0000. This has been tested by ChiemY(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2454555&postcount=44). So,if you are willing to upgrade together, download the ELF_IPL-USPL_2.26.0000.zip file and run the romupdateutility.exe.
ELF & ELFIN IPL 2.27.0002 & USPL 2.28.0000 V2Guys/gals, the USPL 2.28.0000 based on original SPL 2.28.0000 is ready for both Elf and Elfin
It wouldn't have been possible without the help of cmonex.

1. cmonex : For helping me to solve problem of phone stuck in bootloader with original SPL 2.28 and checking the other patches.
2. pof : For the CID unlocking patch etc.
3. marchese : For the IPL 2.27.0002.
Procedure: the procedure remains the same as the prvious versions.
EDIT 30/07/08: As confirmed by eshield (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2465989&postcount=96), Elf owners can directly upgrade the IPL/USPL.

Those who want to upgrade to IPL 2.27.0002 and USPL 2.28.0000 together in one go, can download IPL_2.27_USPL_2.28.zip, the ready to flash RUU_Signed.nbh file.
EDIT 28/10/2008:
New released USPL28_V2 which has an extra feature (apart from the normal CID unlocking features etc) that you can flash ROM of any size now even below 50 MB using RUU. Yes, this USPL V2 removes the restriction of 50 MB size of ROM for normal RUU and that means the OS.NB doesn't need to be hexed if it is below 50 MB and one doesn't need to flash using SD card in order to gain the extra space.
BIG thanks to cmonex for enabling this feature. Enjoy!

Ipl 3.07.0002 & Uspl 3.07.0000
IPL 3.07, 3.10 & USPL 3.07, 3.10This is the latest version of the IPL/USPL based on the original WM 6.1 WWE ROM 3.07.720.03. This USPL will:
1. CID unlock the device for flashing any ROM
2. Remove the restriction on minimum size (previous limit was 50 MB) of the ROM.
PS: the procedure to flash the USPL is same as before. If you are already using some USPL (USPL 1.17, 2.26, 2.28 etc), then you just have to flash the new NBH with RUU. Enjoy !
EDIT (17-11-08): New IPL 3.10.0002 and USPL 3.10.0000 attached
Ipl & uspl 3.14
IPL & USPL 3.14Here is newest IPL and USPL 3.14 . thanks to GPRS for sharing the original source of this IPL and SPL. The features and procedure to flash this USPL are same to that of previous USPLs. I've tested it on my Elfin and it works well
Enjoy

Dump the SPL from Elf(in)
Those who are interested in dumping their SPL from the phone, please follow the steps below:
1. Download the attached archive (thanks to kokotas).
2. Unzip it somewhere (preferably to the root of a drive).
3. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.
4. Make sure that ActiveSync is working.
5. Run the DSPL.bat file and follow on-screen instructions.
After the SPL dump is finished, you will get a new file named SPL.nbx in the unzipped folder. But this will be a 512 KB dump file and CAN NOT be flashed to Elf/Elfin as such. Therefore, if someone wants to make a working SPL of the dump, please PM me the link of the dumped SPL.nbx file and i'll make a flashable SPL of the same.
EDIT: there is an easier method posted by dsixda to dump the SPL in this thread, i recommend to use that instead of this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721
Unlocks the CID (country ID) so that you can flash any Elf ROM to your phone.
Instead of flashing the USPL you can also run the temporary USPL (white screen method), but if you flash a bad ROM (bricks your phone) then you are in trouble, as the temporary USPL makes your phone back to CID locked afterwards.
The temporary USPL method also is annoying because it requires you to remove your sim/memory cards and may take several attempts to get it finally working... The flashed USPL, on the other hand, will let you run just the Update Utility and nothing extra... plus it works the first time always.
Dumping your IPL
1.Download the attached archive & extract on Desktop.
2.Go inside the folder DumpIPL & run the DIPL.bat
3.If everything went ok, you'll find your dumped IPL.nb in that folder soon
4.Do not use the generated file for flashing untill you post it in this thread & someone check that it's a "good" IPL!

For the guy allready running SPL 2.26 on ELF can he check if Changing Pagepool size also works using ELF method on NBH file?
C now that this is the ELFIN SPL 2.26 your referring to.
I need to know this guy is absolutly sure it was an ELF

Hi
I am very sure mine one is an ELF (64/128) and confirm that changing pagepool size also works using ELF method on NBH file. My ELF is set at 6MB PP.
Moreover, changing the pagepool size with the attached pagepool changer for ELF is not a problem at all. Thanks to the creator for the pagepool changer.
*edit
Not only the boot time is reduced, the ELF now runs faster and the memory management is amazing, mine is set at 6MB PP, always show 25-26MB free memory
at most of the time after closing all application except background processes. I can say the memory leak is almost zero.
And the best of all, to flash a ROM, I do not need to take out the SIM card and Memory card.
Rgds
BTW, one thing I noted with 2.26 patched is that when I try to flash a ROM it will complain about Error 328 (I think), saying that the Update Utility is not compatible. This happens whenever the ROM says it has a version of 1.000.00.0 in the Utility. So if I change it to something like 3.000.00.0 in HTC Tools then it flashes fine

Okay so it might be a little ELFIN sickness then
It Propably won't make a difference but here's My Ruu anyway
upgrade from 1.19 to 2.26 ?
For the upgrade to 2.26, the procedure say to use elf-uspl.exe to upgrade the
SPL 2.26. If we have the IPL on 2.26 and the USPL 1.17 (or 1.19) why we cant
just update directly from the bootloader ?
And about the upgrade from IPL/SPL 1.19 to IPL/SPL 2.26 directly
in one file from bootloader ?
guys/gals...new USPL 2.28.0000 is ready and available for download in post 4 on first page .

yes, u should be able to do that directly. those instructions have been posted by Noonski as he was the one to test that on Elf (remember, i don't have Elf to test). but u can try ur method. if it works well, i'll modify the post
Well it was only after ckpv5 confirmed it.
Yes Merged Posts.
The reason why i did not Flash both SPL and IPL at the same time is because i like safety.
So is the version number of ROM flashin related to ELFIN's only?
(You know where you need to put 2.x into HTCRT)
As you can see below.... Why.... Some might do some different Flashing methods and as more Confirms come in this might change the method.
If there's anything none of us want to happen is someone to Brick their phone.
Boot Time vs Patched SPL's
Note: Time measured from the time 'Smart Mobility' appears on the screen. Soft Reset repeated 2-3 times on each USPL
1) USPL 1.11 (IPL 1.11) : ~50 secs
2) USPL 1.17 (IPL 1.11) : ~55 secs *
3) USPL 1.17 (IPL 1.17) : ~55 secs *
4) USPL 1.17 (IPL 2.26) : ~59 secs **
5) USPL 2.26 (IPL 2.26) : ~48 secs ***
6) USPL 2.28 (IPL 2.26) : ~48 secs
Conclusions:
* USPL 1.17 takes ~5 secs longer than USPL 1.11 (bit suprising)
** USPL 1.17 with IPL 2.26 takes distinctively ~60 secs from all the other combinations. Indeed a non-bootable combination.
*** USPL 2.26 and USPL 2.28 takes lesser time to boot conclusively
NOTE: This evaluation alone DOES NOT conclude you must use the latest SPL and IPL. But it gives you a CHOICE, to choose from different IPL and USPL, you can use to customize your device. Pagepool was not taken as a factor, and conducting Boot Time on a pagepooled ROM may also vary the results comparatively.
AND: i did this evaluation to show respect and appreciation on behalf of all others, to those members who give their precious time to this forum and bring out these patches, so that it may and does, help improve the way we can speed up and customize our elf and elfin.
And yeah, I got BSoD for the first time, when i flashed IPL 2.26 and USPL 1.17 and tried to interrupt a soft reset. This concludes what kokotas has said abt non-bootable combinations, like IPL 1.XX with SPL 2.XX or vice versa

I dont know the change between the SPL 1.16 and 1.34/1.35. The patch
method was strictly the same. This is just for people like me who want
everytime the last release
I see.
Well thanks for your work in patching the new SPL. Hopefully somebody can merge or sticky this thread.
which file should i use for hard SPL? will it work forever means i can update any VOX unofficial ROM without running any SPL later?
It works as long as you don't flash an official ROM. It doesn't really matter which one you use. 1.16 is working perfect on my device, so should these!

1.16 is USPL means software SPL, i also use that to bypass CID and it needs to run everytime whenever you are flashing any ROM.
But my concern is if there is some Hard SPL and i run it on my VOX once, would i need to run USPL/HSPL again whenever i need to flash any ROM or will it work forever so that i can simply flash any ROM without using any SPL further.
If you FLASH uSPL instead of simply patching it through RAM, you will have an SPL that acts HARD until you flash an official ROM as it will overwrite the SPL since it is not a true HardSPL.
Take the same steps to patch uSPL and then instead of flashing your ROM, run FLASH.exe from within the uSPL directory, flash USPL and then flash your unofficial ROM. Patched uSPL will remain on the device and thus it will act as a HardSPL to any unofficial ROM and you will not need to patch SPL every time you flash an unofficial ROM.
Will this USPL allow me to flash an unofficial ROM on my Vox that has got the latest WM6.0 Orange UK ROM on?

Hello, i have an Orange France SPV e650, every time i run sda application unlock thing it says "phone not unlockable" then it says succesfully unlocke, now it wasnt succesfully unlocked cos the flash does not work, stops at 3 percent.... Please help me I really look forward to ROM upgrade.

I can't believe how long it took me to solve this riddle lol. Was trying use Vox USPL- CID BYPASS for 1.16 and just took a lucky guess at using the number that seemed to be shown on the bootloader so often being 1.34 . It's my first time playing with WM HTC devices and it seems it will be smooth sailing from now on .
I flash HTC P3400 with Vox USPL and when phone restart that goes in blank screen, now it does not flsh anything, please help

You have successfully bricked your device - may it rest in peace. The SPL is the part of SW that opens the door to other SW loading. If that does no more work you are lost.
