I want to know what my phone should look, so that I can change it back in for a warrenty.
And is there a video out to show how to STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY.
Can you please provide all the information that is needed so that I will not be charge or mess over my contract. Thanks.
If you have HARDSPL installed then your boot screen shows 1.90olinex if you are at STOCK SPL then it shows 1.90.
Before I returned my phone I flashed the HTC ATT ROM that includes radio, then I flashed it with STOCK SPL to return my bootloader from 1.90olinex to 1.90.
That is as much info as I can give you without doing searches of the forum. I think you can handle a few searches from here. Just look for Stock SPL and use the Wiki.

Hi,
I purchased my TYTN-II from UK as sim free in Oct-07. From the last five months i was under the impression that HARDSPL is very much necessary for flashing. Though i never tried to HARDSPL my unit. Last month there was RUU upgrade from HTC e-club. Since it was from HTC and there was no special instruction before running RUU. So i run the RUU directly and my unit was successfully upgraded to WM 6.1.
After that i realised that 6.1 is not stable. So, with the help of the forum ... i downloaded the WM 6 shiped RUU from the forum and run directly and again my device accepted the WM6.
Now, i am confused that how this happened ? am i not suppose to HardSPL my device before flashing specially at downgrading level ?
OR since my device is SIM Free / Unlocked thats why it doesn't need HardSPL ?
I am just trying to educate myself nothing else ...
Regards
i believe that u still need to hard spl the right spl for that rom u installed...the spls are stickied in this forum
admins = plz shut this thread down...
I always thought it was normal for sim free phones.
I could just be thick. But I thought it was due to networks and simlocks that people had to HardSPL.
So its just for cooked ROMs. I get it now. So you flashed a HTC ROM on a HTC device. Which would have flashed the correct SPL anyway.
Hard SPL's allow you to flash cooked roms safely without bricking the device. Since you flashed an official rom from HTC you wouldn't require a modded SPL
There are different hard spl's for wm6.1 thats all. To be honest you are normally safer just to hardspl anyway. Back in the day, if you hadnt hard spl'd your phone and you bricked it, it was basically impossible to fix. Not sure these days on the kaiser, i have never tried not hard spl'ing mine so i couldnt say.
OEM SPL does NOT allow you to downgrade even if the ROM fits your device. I don't know why you not taking HardSPL, if you worry about the warranty, just go ahead to flash ROM with HardSPL, then flash OEM SPL back after it.
if you device is from HTC and not locked to a provider you can flash roms from HTC-E club BUT!!! your phone is not truly safe HardSPL is like a condom for your kaiser if something happens lets say the USB plug comes out while flashing NOT having HardSPL you might have an issue BUT you probably WILL... Just do yourself a favor and flash HardSPL you can always revert back to the shipped SPL if you need to for a warranty return......

You can dump a ROM using itsme's utils: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
And re-construct it using jcespi2005's guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
Then re-flash it to your phone.
Thanks

But you can't dump the original bootloader with this method!
I don't know if the t-mobile bootloader is modfied in any way, but actually the original HTC bootloader should work.
Does anyone know, if there are differences between the bootloader of t-mobile and the original HTC bootloader? (which has to be used for restoring, because there is no dump of the shipped t-mobile bootloader)

If the versions of the SPL are the same then they will be the same.
If you have the Orginal T-Mobile ROM from there website you can dump the SPL using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568

i dont have any clue about risking warranty by flashing an extracted spl of the htc original rom...
the page adviced by first-test seems to be the one of choice thanks, dude just wondering why i did not found this before
does somebody knows about possible differences between the bootloader contained in this link and the one that came with the device?
Hey, I just got my Fuze yesterday, and I'm loving it. I just have a question that I couldn't seem to find by the search.
How would I go about returning the Fuze to the stock SPL after flashing it to HardSPL? I'm asking just incase I need to return it. Would I just flash the default AT&T ROM to restore everything? Or does more have to be done? AKA Do the directions in the Hard-SPL thread apply to the Fuze?
Sorry if this is a dumb question--it's been a while since I've owned a WM phone. (Wizard to be exact =])
NVM Found the answer.
Here for those that want to know:
No need to have the SPL 1.95...I had to exchange my Fuze today because of a problem with buttons...
Just follow the steps on the front page and then afterwards reflash the stock att rom(the one with SPL 1.95)...it will flash SPL 1.95 with it
confirm by going into bootloader

what front page? i want to reflash to oem to exchange for a new fuze
hard spl has overwrite protection. you will have to flash the unsigned spl to overwrite ti (just search for "stock spl"). However, my question is, if you flash the stock rom, do you have to go thru flashing the original spl as well or the hard spl will work with the stock rom as well?
thank you all!
Friends,
So far I have had no problems flasing hardspl and chef roms. I know this is a stupid question but I would imagine this would void the warranty of the device with my at&t provider?
I have my own personal insurance on the device (not with at&t). But what if I start experiencing problems with the device. Would there be a way to revert back to the custom rom and change the hardspl?
Please advise.

just find the att stock rom on this forum..not sure where it is as i havent looked through the roms as i dont own a fuze but have been active in the forum because i plan on getting one SOON..and for hardspl..dont know about ehre but like in the kaiser forum they have att stock spl and you revert back by using a SSPL (Software SPL) that is in EXE format and you open it in the file manager and it loads up the bootloader and then you flash the old SPL from there because you cant load a SPL from the normal bootloader because SPL IS YOUR BOOTLOADER so just look for those or wait for someone to post the needed files (you can find the att stock rom for sure) but in actuality alot of people have gotten away without reverting the SPL (i havent heard of anyone getting charged for voiding the warranty) but if you want to be safe you can always go down to a DSC (Device Spport Center) (http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/main.jsp?t=solutionTab&solutionId=KB91429 for a list of DSC's) and once they swap it your home free and they have never checked the bootloader for me (well everytime ive broughten it in it was stuck in bootloader but they never examined the screen) so yah thats my 2 cents ;-)
ive exchanged multiple tilts with warranty exchange, and never had an issue with the hardspl. i would always flash the stock rom back on though
My HTC Kaiser has to go back to 3 for a repair, however Since I have modded the ROM they will not repair it.
Is there a way of getting the original 3 software ROM so that I can send it back with the 3 ROM already installed as oppose to the non branded ROM?
My son also has a Kaiser with the original 3 ROM installed. Is there any way I can take a copy of this from his phone and put it onto mine before I send it back to them?
Probrably not, but I thought I would ask.
Any help for me would be much appreciated.
