Hard Spl duttys and back to oem rom do i need to hard spl again

Sorry for the newb post but I have followed all the steps for the SIM and CID unlock with Hard SPL,, I installed Dutty's latest rom and have gone back to the OEM rom to compare battery usage and now I want to use a custom rom again. Do i need to run Hard SPL again or is this a one time thing?

read a bit more, please.... you only need read the Wiki and this forum stiky threads to find an answer....
Cheers

First answer absolutely correct - read some more, starting here.
In general, you shouldn't need to re-flash hardSPL unless you've screwed something up. To check, go into bootloader and it should show you your SPL version.

Thank you for the answer.
I do read, (tons) but with all the info here you can go cross eyed at times trying to find stuff.

Btw, Ive been using this forum for a while, and i do plenty of searches. With that said; I just poured over the wiki for the last half hour and then spent a fair amount of time doing MANY searches through the forums search., I eventually found this thread after about 40 minutes through a GOOGLE search query as this forums search couldnt find this... i actually gave up using this forums search query, and had to use google and look through a couple other kaiser forums aswell...
Yes, the saying goes look with your eyes not your mouth. But the search and organization of this forum is not exactly that easy to sift through.. Before you get too upset with this guy for not reading more, know that I as well spent a very frustrating amount of time trying to find this simple answer as well.
Thanks 'Download' for the newb post, and thanks to you 'ach2' for the straight forward answer, without it i would still be stuck.

rooting htc hero sprint 1.5

trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help

Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.

New to android and rooting would like advice/info

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.

I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

Thanks for the reply I wasn't totally sure where to post this thread so I posted just tried the general forum I will look there and maybe post there if I don't find what I'm looking for

no but you can read one of the many stickied guides, i charge for hand holding

simplest way , edit build.prop file , change that 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 or whatever you see , to 4.0.3 , you are now on 4.0.3 ,

What my fellow smart asses are trying to say is: don't worry, you are at the right place. Everything you need to find out about your phone is located here in this forum, but you need to do some reading in order to find it. What you are concerned with can be located in "stickies"- the threads at top of the forums which are indicated by the thumbtacks at the far left of the thread. Don't be discouraged by all the threads. What you are concerned with are only the stickies. It is in your best interest to devote the time to read through the first page of these stickies BC 1. You don't want to permanently damage your very expensive phone and 2. You will be amazed by what this little device can do once you've done a little homework.

[Q] [HELP]Want to Root Sensation with HBOOT 1.27 and Sense 4 Custom ROM Request

hey
I am looking for a guide to the root of the sensation with the HBOOT version
1.27
And according to a custom ROM with Sense 4 (Fast & Stable when possible)
Thanks for the help in advance

every single day someone on here wants someone else to do their work for them. it is clear that you did not do even one second of searching for the answer yourself because if you did you would see this same question asked and answered every single day for over a week now...

Indeed. Don't just go in a forum, start a new thread and ask a question.
Do some research, you'll find many other posts from different users, who have asked the same question.
In the end, google it. And if you won't find the answer, THEN, make a thread and ask
