Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your HTC Snap 511 (Willow).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Willow platform (HTC Snap 511).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC CEDAR platform (Ozone) is not supported. For the Dash3G and Ozone I have already developed a sspl/hardspl.
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Snap S511 SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.34
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Snap S511 HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.34.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash a splash screen
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any cooked or original ROM.
A donation for my work would be highly appreciated
Have fun,
JockyW

Good work!!!!
Thanks Jocky, sending you good vibes and tips!
Once we install the hardSLP on the sprint snap, which cooked roms can we use? Are we going to need one specially cooked for the snap 511?

Yes, ookba is waiting to get his own phone to get a ROM working... Donations really speed up that process
Should this be stickied like the last few? Maybe consolidate all into one?

Raleigh, NC. My next vacation isn't till the week of Christmas though, so maybe someone else can step up in the meantime. I'll also be out of the office again for a week in the spring.
first off, thanks so much to Jocky and Ookba for all the work you guys do! but i'm having some issues. i've dont a lot of searching on here and i can't find a solution hopefully someone can help me. i can't get the hardspl to run successfully.
my bootloader screen shows this:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B
i'm using windows 7 (through VMWare on my iMac), everything seems fine until the pop up on the phone, i click the button (the not really a trackball button) and the screen goes black, i lose all connectivity through WMDC and the Rom Utility gets error 266.
If i don't click when the pop up shows on the phone, the Rom Utility will show and then the phone will go into the bootloader with USB written in the white area then i get the error 266 again.
of course there's no sim because it's a Sprint s511, and the sd card is always removed.
what can i do? i'd really love to get 6.5 on there, but i'm at a loss.
The fact that your running on a MAC with VMWare makes me think the issue could be in the connection...
Im not even sure if Win7 works, i could be wrong however. You wouldnt happen to know of anyone that has a WinXP machine would you?
I did try in vmware with XP and Activesync, but it did the same things. I have a Dell that I was gonna make a hackintosh, but I'm gonna throw xp on it and try using that machine. I was thinking it was the vmware too, i guess i just wanted one of you guys (you know, the one's with a clue! LOL) to confirm.
I applied the HardSPL to my snap using Windows 7 and everything went well

Thats what it sounds like... Good to know it works on Win7 though SPIK3.
Thanks Black_V!per for responding and all. I did finally get it going! I set up the dell with XP and it actually didn't work at first. I had originally unRARed the package on the iMac and just copied the unarchived folder over to the XP machine, thinking it would save me a download, but it didn't work. So i just dl'd an RAR utility for windows and unpacked the RAR on the xp machine and it worked perfect. originally the Rom Updater said it couldn't find the nbh file. all's well! And i'm loving 6.5!!
Thanks again Jocky and Ookba!!!

Must have corrupted during the download... Havent seen that since my 56k-days.
Glad to hear that!
First off, I appreciate everyone's hard work throughout this whole process.
Unfortunately I am running into a problem. The auto.bat is able to copy the JumpSPL file and the .nb file to my phone just fine. However once the Rom Update Utility starts the flashing process, the phone shuts off.
I did a hard reset to my phone, and went through the process again. The JumpSPL notice popped up on the screen, but then crashed when I hit OK. I know it crashed because the Windows Error Reporting popped up (which apparently I had disabled before I did the hard reset, so I never was able to tell if it was still running).
So then I manually ran the JumpSPL file. This time the memory box popped up, so I hit OK with the Jump Address at the default 0x00000000. It then asked which SPL file I wanted to use. I chose the .nb that was copied over. Then the Windows Error Reporting screen showed up again.
I'm not sure what is going on, but hopefully the details I just provided will allow someone to figure something out. Thanks.
BTW: My phone is a Sprint HTC Snap S511, and my splash screen is the same as the one posted before:
CEDA200
SPL-0.34.0000
MicroP-Willow#C (LED) v58B

Is your phone applications unlocked? When I did mine it gave me a bunch of errors because it wasn't applications unlocked. Also make sure you remove your memory stick.

How would I go about checking this?
I remember on my Samsung Ace, before the 6.1 update, I had to install an "application unlocker" that allowed unsigned programs to install. Is this the same thing with the Snap? Also this is the Sprint version, so I don't have a Sim card, or anyway to typically "unlock" this phone.
EDIT: Ah, now I know what you mean. I found the SDA Application Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563761
The Rom Update Utility finished successfully! Now to move on to the next step... Thank you SPIK3
No problem, glad I can help.

Hi Guys,
Glad to see WM6 on the Tornado...
Pulled my Cingular 2125 out of the bin and trying to get it upto WM6.
The problem I'm having is that I need to SuperCID it but SPVServices isn't working.
I get the "ALL OK" RAPI init was Successful when I run SPVServices.
Then I click the "CID Tool (Alpha) Link" but it only displays a blank screen.
I have successfully App-Unlocked and installed the Certs.cab
Any help would be appreciated.
What OS no ur PC are you using? FYI, it must be done on XP
OS & IE Versions...
Sorry, forgot to mention...
Windows XP, IE 7. Thought there might be an issue with IE7 so I uninstalled it and tried again with IE 6. Same results.
Try it on other computer ?
Gonna try on my work PC tomorrow (or actually later today).
Just wondered if others had experienced this..
Odd, never heard of a blank screen issue, most errors are saying that it can't write the to the correct memory area or it just wont run at all under vista..
Phil
[EDIT: Good to see you about again kyphur ]
try to supercid with lokiwiz (wizard sim unlock and supercid tool). it works on tornados too
before this make sure that the phone is fully app-unlocked.
ps: skip the enablerapi.cab step
Ah yes, LokWiz my old friend... Wizard was my second HTC Device (Blue Angel being my first).
I used SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe, is there a sure-fire way to confirm that my Tornado is App-Unlocked?
Success!!
Go figure, worked right off the bat on my work PC, that's just not fair!
Well, thanks you guys have really got your stuff together here.
We'll see how my 12 year old daughter likes WM6 SmartPhone Edition.
Hi.
I have not posted much on this site, yet I have used it plenty of times. And first off I have to say "Thank you oh so very much" to everybody who frequent this site. Most of all I would like to thank the developers and rest of the crew that helps users on a daily basis.
I've had plenty of phones the last few years: 9090, 9100, Tytn and now Tytn II - all of which have been flashed - successfully I might add - with software and aid from you guys. (Ok, so my Tytn nearly ended up as a paperweight, but with some fancy maneuvers using the CE SDK from Microsoft I was able to use it as a PDA again)
Now, I am stuck. Really stuck. (Not saying I'm not to blame, but I am still stuck)
I've got a Tytn II (The P4550 HTC Kaiser 120 I believe). A few weeks back I flashed this with Alex's Home ROM (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Alex's ROMs). At the time I was running Radio 1.27.12.11, and continued to use it after the Alex flash.
That worked perfectly.
But being interested in always trying new stuff I yesterday decided to flash Alex.v5.WM61.HTC.302.UltraClean.ROM.beta2. And it really went bad.
I studied up on many postings (obviously not enough) and started the process:
#1: Hooked up the pda to my computer
#2: HardSPL v1
#3: Tri-Color mode and activesync grey
#4: Started the upgrade with KaiserCustomRUU.exe
Everything went smoothly until it hit 99% - there it stuck and the program ended with a communication error. My computer runs Vista (yes, I know. I wont even consider flashing another phone using Vista), but it has worked flawlessly 25-30 times before.
Anyways, what happened when I tried to recover was that the phone went into tri-color mode. Needless to say it was unable to recover. After much back and forth I reinstalled an old laptop with XP (as mtty does not work on Vista) and was able to boot it back in to the OS using a walk trough from this site - cudos to Laurentius26 for the post)
Anyways - it came back. But since it failed the flash I tried it again to make sure it finished properly. What I did was flash back the Alex Home ROM I had in the first place - that worked. Then I flashed back the 1.27.12.11 Radio ROM - which failed - seriously.
It hung on 17% and when reset it would only boot to tri-color. And this is where I am now.
Every time the phone resets it boots to tri-color. I've done and redone the mtty (with and without the task 28), but it stops in tri-color mode. If I at that point hook it up to mtty and issue the boot command it will boot properly, but thats kinda annoying - having to carry with me a XP laptop for each time I have to reset the phone. (Ive also tried the set 14 0 when the phone is in this state, but it will still only boot to tri-color)
So - what now?
I've tried flashing the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship, but it stops with 294 - invalid vendor id. I've tried flashing the same ROM with HardSPL installed - no vender id error but it fails at 16%.
In desperation I've tried HTC_Kaiser_NL_ROM_1.56.404.6_Radio_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17_Ship, but this also fails at 16%.
I've studied many a post on this site, but have so far been unable to recover from this error.
Is there any hope of regain the much needed functionality of normal booting?
Hopefully there is.
Thanks in advance.
Can you try these?

Now for a question if you have the time: Since I started this process yesterday I have not been able to flash a Radio rom properly. It stops on 17% or 99% and quits with communication error. Any ideas?
And can I trust that my phone now works?
Cool...., thank you

But of course - now that I know how to reset.
One comment: I absolutely love the Palm SMS program added by Alex in his rom. You know if this is manually installable?
This is threaded SMS isn't?
That's default in WM6.1.
But if it's a seperate program there must be a cab out there.
I will have a look if it's that good you say!

Well, good is subjective ... but I love it.
As for the updating: halted on 16% - communication error.
*Looks around - "Where's my mtty"
How can I get pass these updating issues?
Which OS do you have on your desktop?
Do you have an original branded HTC device?
Try to flash a factory (shipped, not cooked) rom first!
Don't use a usb hub between your device and the pc, but use a straight connection.
See if there are applications running on your desktop.
Disable your Firewall for example...
And please take your storage card out.
Some tips....

Original rom: As mentioned above I've tried a couple of them, but both ending in invalid vender id.
And no usb hub present.
Another comment - the flashing done today and yesterday has been done from two different xp computers - but with same result.

Yup - that one has been tested - fails with invalid vender id.
Also tried flashing that rom with HardSPL - comm. error.
And no, I have not tried the Custom RUU. Will for sure try that now.
The Custom RUU is the same file that is included with your 6.1 Rom isn't it? If so I have used it with your ROM.
Do you think I should try it with another?
Yes... try with another shipped ROM please?

Tried custom ruu with Radio 1.27.12.17.
Same results as other flashes - halts at 95%.
Seems like OS flashing hangs at 17% and Radio at 95%.
Use one more time MTTY, clear all FATS and I've send you a PM.

If you're getting an invalid vendor id it sounds like your hardspl or superCID isn't working correctly. Before going any further it's probably best to go to your bootloader screen and check that hardspl is still installed.
After that, I'd try flashing from the SD card.
Good point ach2, but when launching HardSPL and starting the update it lists the correct data on the bootscreen (Jumpspl or something equivavlent to that)
Leo: Looking around xda I found an article about dumping the ROM from another device. In the same thread I found a link to dumped original ROM. I patched that and it worked like a charm.
My PDA came back to its original state.
After arriving home just now I thought I would give your ROM another go, but same result - stuck at 16% (With HardSPL and Custom RUU)
What can cause this?
Ok so I have a HTC Touch Pro and eveytime i try to Flash my rom using the HARDSPL, I get a communication error that says, The Update utility cannot connect to your phone. The phone is active sync'd and connected. So I can't figure out what is going on. I hard reset thinking that would help but it didn't. Some one please help me, I just want my phone to run correctly with a new rom and this is driving me absolutely insane.
does it happen when you try to hard spl? or when you try flashing a rom after a hard spl

Yeah its in HARDSPL but it wouldn't even let me do a stock rom (for ****s and giggles i tried this)...never thought about the firewall ill be home in an hour and will try it out...let you know how it goes thanks for the response
I was wishing that it was that... I disabled my antivirus and my windows firewall was already off...any more ideas? Just to give you guys some facts
1. Touch Pro
2. Trying to use HardSPL to unlock my phone
3. When i try to run it recognizes what rom version I have and tells me what im updating to.
4.I hit next and it goes to the progress bar on the screen.
5. Nothing happens on my phone
6. Then hardspl errors out
???

Hi again
I'm not that familiar with HardSPL, but .. do you need to run it every time you flash , or is it only the first time needed ?
And another tought ran through my mind : are you connecting your device directly to your PC, or via a USB-hub ? Hubs tend to be a problem in such ocassions ...
Dirk
thanks again for an answer dirk...You need hardspl the first time only, from there on you can just flash roms...I am also not using a hub...
Two quick notes... 1. I tried to use the cord that came with it to power an external hard drive and it didnt work...then i switched it to my 6700 mini usb and the hard drive did work. So I'll try that cord with my phone.
2. im going to try to do it on one of my clients computers also tonight.
I post back with results....
Thanks again
Kind of sounds like you don't have Hardspl on it. What does it say when you go into bootloader? GSM or CDMA Touch Pro ?
Ok it comes up with tri color bars for a half second then says...
Loading...
No image file!
Than it goes back to the tri color screen and reads as follows...
Security Unlocked
Raph800
SPL-0.37.0000
MicroP-Hermann (LED) V0C85
MicroP-Hermann (KEY) V0685
PSOC-Raph STAGE_EVT v20
Hope this helps!
Also its a CDMA... Sprint Touch Pro
Anyone have something similar happen to them while flashing?
After doing a bunch of reading I understand that the HardSPL didn't work...but im not sure what im doing wrong. I think im messing up the steps somehow?

Hi again
I don't think you're messing up steps... it looks more like messing up systems. Are you sure the ROM you want to install suits your CDMA-phone ? There are some basic differences between GSM and CDMA...

Attached you find all you need to flash cooked ROMs on your Ozone (Cedar).
The sspl/hardspl are confirmed to work fine on the HTC Cedar platform (Ozone).
It will not work on the HTC Maple platform (Dash3G). Running this sspl on a Dash3G will definitely brick it. Also the HTC Willow platform (SNAP S511, Sprint) is not supported. For the Dash3G I have already developed a sspl/hardspl. Users of the S511 have to wait until I feel motivated ..
The packages contains a SSPL, HardSPL, patched ROM updater and the original Ozone SPL. The package is based on SPL v0.39
Instructions:
1. remove SD and SIM cards (don't forget otherwise the sspl is likely not to work!!)
2. connect your device to your pc with a USB cable and wait until it is synced
3. extract the file "Ozone HardSPL by JockyW.zip" and execute "auto.bat"
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed. You must confirm running JumpSPL on the device: first time you must click Yes to allow it to run, you also must click the trackball to continue execution of JumpSPL. The device display will turn dark and after that the romupdate tool will install the hardspl on your device. (the identification string in the tri-color bootloader screen is "0.39.Hard")
5. to test the sspl and the hardspl you can flash the attached splash.nbh
Once the HardSPL is installed on your device you can flash any Ozone cooked or original ROM.
Have fun,
JockyW
PS: Moderators please make this a sticky. Thanks.
Awesome work JockyW.
Awesome, thanks for your hard work.
Now all we need are some 6.5 roms!
4. follow all instructions given on screen: first the sspl is copied to the device and executed.

Um... so most of this worked fine, and the screen is dark, and a generic htc driver got auto installed... and the Rom Utility popped up on my screen... But how do I get it to connect to activesync like this?
After my phone rebooted completely (following the ROM utility completing), I just re-enabled Allow USB connections and it seems to work fine.
No, so the rom update tool doesnt complete because ActiveSync doesnt work after the screen turns black...
Edit: and Im using XP (noticed ur not from the thumbnail...) idk if that matters or anything
I'm having some difficulties of my own. I'm running Windows 7 RC x64 with WMDC 6.1.6965.
I started by running the sspl.bat (with USB enabled in WMDC); the SPL app came up on my device's screen, I tapped ok, and the device screen went black w/ solid black pixels. The only way of rebooting it is yanking the battery. The OS loads fine after that.
Later I thought it had run sucessfully so I ran auto.bat. The JumpSPL steps ran fine (with USB enabled still) but it failed at step 4 when the ROM tried to flash (obv. because USB was still enabled).
Strange thing is, when USB is disabled and I run auto.bat, the device is unable to connect in steps 1-3. I canceled all those steps and then the ROM flasher starts, makes a connection, and starts the flash but won't go past 0%. The screen is still black because after step 3 the SPL flashes (or attempts to.)
I later put the device in bootloader manually (with the colorful bars) and ran the ROM flasher by itself. It runs but again, gets stuck at 0% on both the device and the PC. After a while a 262: update error pops up. This must be because the SPL is still locked? The OS boots fine after a battery pull.
Strange. Any advice would be welcome.
forgot to remove my SIM card! Gonna try again, give me a few minutes
no, same problems. :sigh:
The bootloader is still locked in 0.39.0000, confirmed.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure all my problems are coming from x64 drivers. I'm going to try this again in Windows XP Mode. Congrads everyone who's succesfully flashed! Good work guys!

Instead of replying to yourself, please use the edit button next time.
Anyways, if you run auto.bat, disable USB Connections after the screen turns black via ActiveSync. In your device manager (with the screen still black) look at your USB Devices. You should see a entry called HTC USB Sync. If you see that continue to flash. Seeing HTC USB Sync is a key step in this whole process.
Please read the testing/development thread for some good solid help. A bunch of us ran into the same issue you did. If you read all 4 pages you should be able to troubleshoot your problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550628

I'm a new member here and I can't believe how much hard work you guys put in for free. I am pretty broke right now but at some point in the next week or so I'm going send a small donation to both you and jockyw....won't be much as I really can't afford it but should buy you some decent beer at least...

The stock ozone rom is crap, I would love to cook my own ROM!
BTW hardspl successfully flashed first try on my device. Totally painless. Excellent job.
Anyone with a Telus SNAP try this?

I think the Telus SNAP is a CEDAR as well. Uses the same CDMA network as Verizon. Dump your SPL and post it for JockyW to examine and give the tumbs up.
Also, dump your RAW files, upload and post in this thread if you can.

Also guys, we gotta hook up JockyW with some donations. He worked his ASS off to build this and we have to show some gratitude. If you want him to continue to support us, we have to show him some love.

I agree. Just sent him a small donation. You're next ookba, but will have to wait until next paycheck.
Update: Small donation sent to you as well ookba. I'll just have to skip lunch tomorrow

How sure are you that Ozone is Cedar?

looks like a chief to me, but I could be wrong, I would like to release a 6.5 kernal, but dont want to have wrong device.
Trying to flash my AT&T Fuze with HardSPL so I can pop a ROM of WM6.5 on it. Not having any luck.
I run the HardSPL executable, it sees the phone (with the current 5.11.XX... ROM version), and then when I hit OK, and see the progress bar (at 0%), it just sits there for about 45 seconds, then gives me a communications error.
Tried this on WinXP and Win7 with the same results. What am I doing wrong?

Is the phone new. We have reports that the SPL Loader changed and prevents flashing HardSPL. Check ur SPL it should not read anything different from 1.90. If it is a higher number then.
Go to the Hardspl thread and flash the 1.90 stock spl frome there first.
Yes, the phone is brand new.
SPL-5.10.0000 is displayed when I enter the bootloader. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction with the HardSPL thread (where I can flash to 1.90)? Can't seem to find it.

The 1.90 u can find in the HardSPL thread. But check if its ok to get from 5.1 to 1.90
I was more thinking from 1.9XXX to 1.90, so still within the 1.9 loaders. Dunno if its ok for the 5.1 to go down. It should but not shure about that.
Great. I'll check it out. Worse comes to worst, I just may not be able to throw WM6.5 on this, correct?

well when hardspl works, everything is possible. All the GSM roms are also for fuze afak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4209384&postcount=589
Look through the HardSPL thread, seems that 5.1 Fuze is working with the 1.9 SPL.
Okay, so I was able to boot into the bootloader, where it tells my SPL is 5.1. I can get the HardSPL exe to run and get all the way to the Progress Bar screen (and the phone also jumps to a grey screen with a progress bar), but they both sit at 0% for about 1 min, then it cancels and says "ERROR(262): Update Failed."
Any ideas?
I also had this issue. I did the CID unlock first, then HSPL. I was then able to complete the upgrade.
No joke. I'll have to try that, then.
And, in anyone's opinion, what's the best cooked ROM to be using? EnergyROM?

Are you doing this through activesync. I asume you are. Make sure the file is placed on your main drive of the computer and ran from there. It cannot be in folders hidden. Otherwise it won't work. I had this issue with prior devices while upgrading.

That is kind of like asking which is the best baseball team, NASCAR driver, flavor of potato chip or type of candy. Some cooks go for stability. Other cooks go for the latest release. Some cooks throw in all kinds of goodies. Other cooks put an the absolute minimum in the ROM, so the users can add just what he wants. You may hate my favorite ROM and I may hate your favorite ROM. That is why there are so many ROMs to choose from and all these wonderful cooks making them. Try a several different ROMs and see which you prefer.

A fine point, to be sure.
Sorry, all -- kind of got ahead of myself with all these replies.
So, can anyone point me in the right direction for unlocking my phone's CID?

I have one question. Do you have the phone in "ActiveSynch" mode before running the HardSPL? I found that running it while in the "BootLoader" does not work well, when running the HardSPL.
So, activesynch --> run the hardspl --> make sure you click "Ok", when the phone prompts you, if it is okay to run the 2 executables on your phone --> then watch your phone restart into the "bootloader", then update the hardspl...
Just observation from my past experience...

Hmmm... I do not have it in ActiveSync mode. I actually have an Exchange connection set up on the phone right now with work. So I should remove that connection, set it to sync ONLY with my desktop, then run HardSPL with ActiveSync 4.5 (on XP) // WMDC (on Vista/7) open?
That's good advice, if I understand you correctly. Thank you!
Did u try to go Stock 1.90 first before doing HardSPL or did u try to flash direct to the unsigned 1.9 ?
As far as I know u have to switch from 5.1 first to the 1.90 signed and then to the unsigned version. See the hardspl thread for more info. Go to this
