this was obtained from Mobilicity ROM. Hope someone can make Hard SPL out of this
After download, I want to do？thank YOU
+1 - I couldn't flash 1.17 or 1.19 HardSPL no matter what. In fact, I bricked my device trying to flash 3VO, with no shipped ROM to flash back to.

i am using currently AKU3.3 jester b1 and want to install JAMin's old ROM but the flasher is giving an error and asking to use a newer version of nbf file.
is there a way to install an old ROM to my device ?
try to cook a rom with the nk.nbf from your "old rom" using this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271043
this rom will install on spl 2.20 also if it's for spl 2.15
when you tried installing your "old rom" it stops at 95% right?
i had the same problem with my german rom and after using this tutorial i can now use the spl 2.15 rom with my spl 2.20 prophet
good luck
this can brick my phone as it is vey risky.
is there a simple way just to flash my phone to an old ROM i mean from 2.20.7.34 to 2.13.9.23 ?
If you had read the post of risidero carefully you would know that it could NOT brick your phone
it modifies your rom so it doesnt contain any IPL nor SPL data. they are staying untouched
the only risk is a non booting ROM which you can simply flash againt when going to bootloader (hold camera button while soft reset)
risidoro said:
By following this tutorial, you're removing both the bootloaders (IPL and SPL) from a rom of your choice. This means that, if you don't make errors while 'cooking' the rom, you cannot completely destroy (brick) your phone. Sure, you could end up with a non-booting rom but, as long as you can get to the three colors screen (the bootloader screen) you'll always be able to install a different (or your previous) working rom.
On the other hand, messing with IPL and SPL (i.e. installing a rom containing IPL and SPL in a CID locked device) is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and MUST be avoided in most cases!!!
Installing a 2.xx rom without messing with your phone's IPL and SPL is exactly what this tutorial tries to explain.

I'm looking for the release version of the T-Mobile 1.56.110.4 ROM. Can anyone help me?
I'm looking to flash my phone for the first time, but want to make sure that I've got everything so that I can return it back to it's original spec for warranty purposes.
If I flash back the SPL (to 1.56.00000) does that mean that I'll not be able to run the dumped OEM ROM?
Will I need the full (read as 'signed') OEM ROM release?
You can find it in my signature
Cheers.
Thanks for the prompt response, but isn't that a reconstructed ROM?
Will it work with the default SPL (1.56.0000) or will I need to use HardSPL?

You need HardSPL.
So, this seems to mean that if I flash my ROM, I'm not able to go back to the original ROM, Radio and SPL due to the fact that the OS isn't available in a signed shipped ROM installation?
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 you can find more info about downgrading SPL (the hard part).
Reconstructed ROMs are like cooked ROMs, you need HardSPL to flash it. Once you go back to default SPL, you only can flash the shipped ROM that matches your CID (inside SPL).
Cheers.
Hi,
Is it true that once you upgrade a radio version you can't go down to a lower version. I've successfully managed to install version 1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90 from Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 (don't ask why) but my phone still says I have Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.
Thanks
No that is not true. That is the exact same radio version you posted. Some ROM's do not flash a radio. The best bet is to flash a stand alone.
Once you are finished flashing your ROM and happy with your device. Patch SPL using the regular SPL method and then run FLASH from within the SPL folder, this will flash a patched SPL to your device and act as a Soft SPL. From here you can flash any radio and number of times to test the best one.
Hope this helps you out.
I also tried many radio versions before setlling down. Ofcourse you can downgrade it as h4waii said
Thanks for the help.
Is the method given by jockyw2001 Soft SPL because if so that's what I've been using.
Btw, what does SPL stand for?
Thanks
It should be in the Wiki, the uSPL is by jockyw2001 and it is loading a patched SPL from RAM. Flashing the uSPL over the ROM SPL will turn it into a "soft SPL".
SPL stands for Secondary Program Loader
Hi,
My phone is running in radio 3.22.20.17, SPL 1.33.2010 but S-ON which prevent me from using the fastboot flash command as explained by cursordroids in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605239
I'm thinking of using another procedure by using Amon RA recovery image and flashing signed update.zip for the radio and for the SPL.
The problem with this procedure is that my phone reboots in between the two updates (the radio update and the spl update) so at one point, i've got a phone running Radio version 6.35.xxx and the old SPL 1.33.2010.
I've no idea how the phone will react. Am i going to birck it ? Does anybody already tried this ?
Thanks for your feedbacks.
Seriously? Did you even read his instructions?
----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.
Straight from his post.
How much more simple does a dev have to make it in order for members like you to do this.

Seriously, did you even read what he wrote?
He has an engineering SPL already but his phobe is still showing S-ON.
Now, what i would do if i were him is the following.
Test if the command fastboot boot recovery.img works.
If it does then i would flash the radio through the recovery, afterwards i would boot the HERO recovery and use it to flash the new spl.
Bare in mind that i did not test this method and nor do i plan to test it.
Hi,
Thanks eygor that have pointed correctly my situation.
So YES i can fastboot (i need to add some flags as my magic disable the sdcard by default) and this what i'm going to use.... flashing via a signed zip file BUT i do not know how the phone will react by having a radio 6.35.10.18 dissociated from the SPL (still in version 1.33.2010....yes the engineering version).
Anybody has had any experience with this. ?
Question:
- My rom is rooted, am i able to use flash_image to update the SPL and the radio ?
- Receovry_Ra does not provide the flash_image command or am i wrong ?

LOL Please show where he says that it's an engineeringSPL.
Anyways, if you got fastboot working why not work from there? If you're asking what I think youre asking cause I'm not sure... you just flash radio in fastboot and then flash SPL (doesnt matter if you still have the old spl , just flash the new one after radio) then flash recovery
1.33.2010
Sounds like an engineering SPL.
If you have a 32A device, use the 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard. Then use the SU within that ROM to install hero recovery. Finally use hero recovery to flash the rest of the stuff you need.

Hi xaueious,
I've read the article explaining the use of 3.04.401.2 Europe RUU with a goldcard.
They clearly mention to copy rom1.zip into the Goldcard and rename it SAPPIMG.zip
(see post from JcMatos http://forum.xda-developers.com/printthread.php?t=625108&pp=10&page=7)
My problem is that rom1.zip does not contain any upgrade of the radio or the SPL (it's contained in the rom.zip). So if i follow correctly the instruction, i get my magic updated with a new rom but still with my old SPL and Radio remains identical. I do have a high risk of having my magic bricked.
Am i missing something ?
Need help as I'm doing it for the first time
I have Radio 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50 and bootloader 4.3.2250
I want to flash RSPL and then DFT ROM, but as I see I need to downgrade bootloader to something like 1.52
If I flash Radio 5.66.09.09_22.46.50 from Mondrian Cingular 1.52.502.04 file on my device , will it brick it? can I flash 5.66 radio over 5.69? to downgrade bootloader?
or what should I do to get any Custom ROM?
You should actually be able to downgrade SPL 4.x directly (3.1 or lower is needed to install HSPL, which then lets you flash a custom ROM). Have you tried just rolling back to an old restor point (NoDo, perhaps) or flashing just the SPL (you can do this using the RUU) of an old ROM?
I downgraded my SPL from 4.5 to 3.1 by doing this. I'm still using a stock ROM, but until I install an update that overwrites the SPL, I know I *can* install R/HSPL any time I want to.

I restored with zune to NoDo and bootloader is still 4.3
I'm afraid to flash directly as it was said by Cotulla that flashin 4.xx MANGO `SPL-s will brick the phone. so can I just flash a lower radio version that downgrades the SPL, or I need a goldcard method?
With 4.x you should be able to use a radio/SPL image to downgrade. It's still installed using RUU, but you don't need a full ROM. There's even a configuration that won't wipe the phone when you flash it (obviously not useful for a full ROM, but I found it handy when I was trying different methods but didn't want to need to restore a backup to get my data back).
I pulled the download for my phone (radio + SPL pre-loaded in a RUU set up to not wipe the data) from the HD7-specific forum.
Dear Mr. GoodDayToDie
Could you please point us to where we can get the RUU file for the Surround device.
I have the Exact situation as Mr. DJSave Have.
Thanks in advance
