[Touch Cruise General] rljones:
do you need to run HARD-SPL every time you load a new ROM? or, is once enough?

i ran HARD-SPL, loaded new ROM, and now I cannot seem to load new ROM. trying to re-run HARD-SPL did not seem to help.

thanks.

"How to install HARD-SPL! (You have to do it only once!)"
[Touch Cruise General] rljones:
thanks for reply. i figured once was probably all that was required. since i use same technique for trying to re-load a new ROM, as when i loaded first ROM, i do not understand why i keep getting error 260...
[Touch Cruise General] senab:
I'm just bought a XDA Orbit 2 off eBay and have loads of threads on the last few hours :)

Anyway, I need to unlock it so I can use an Orange sim card. Will olipro's unlocker do this?

Also I know why people are upgrading their roms (unbranding, quicker, programs), but is it worth upgrading the radio module?
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Yes, olipro's sim unlock program will do it.

Radio update is not mandatory...I still use the factory radio, others do not...people say qps is quicker, of wifi is better....try them and you will see.
[Touch Cruise General] senab:
Doesn't the sim unlock program patch the radio anyway? i'm a bit scared of doing it now after reading about the reception problems.
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
SIm unlock use a patched radio to delete the simlock. But after it u can reflash the original radio or anything elsse
[Touch Cruise General] joscopp:
fktsndr, greetings

I have few questions and sorry if they were previously asked, did try to look it over, in vain.

I have installed SPL, I am on 2.20 okay?

1st Question : Before venturing into new ROMs, do you know how to back-up my original ROM which is currently on my Cruise?

1.25.163.3 FRE dated 12/18/07.

2nd Question : Otherwise, where in your opinion, can I find it?

3rd Question : Do you think, the fact to have the 2.20 SPL, voids guaranty?

Thank you very much.
[Touch Cruise General] dickenz:
Hi all,

About to receive my first PPC in the form of a Polaris.

I've been doing a bit of reading on here about the software and cooked roms. I did have a few quick questions:

* If I install a cooked rom, can I uninstall programs that came with it? I am presuming you cannot hence, 'cooked'.

* If I install a cooked rom on my Polaris, will I loose the HTC TouchFlo software?

* If the answer is yes to above, can it be re-obtained and reinstalled on a bare ROM?

Cheers,

Byron.
[Touch Cruise General] joscopp:
Correct, when it is a cooked one, you cannot.

Otherwise, better take a basic lite one and cook it to your liking by adding your choice of *cabs which you will find in this forum.

Unless the cooked ROM included a non-Flo setup (which will be clearly notified) you will definitely keep it.

In all cases, you could be installing and uninstalling as many ROMs as you wish, your device following suit what you installed.

:)
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Hi,

1. You have to dump your factory rom, but unfortunatelly I do not know how..But there are threads about it.

2. See first...

3. Yes, hard-spl voids warranty. But you can restore the original spl.

Help for new guy?

Ok, next victim of bad ROM upgrade move... I know how stupid it must look, now that all these NOOB-guides are all over the forum, but I accidentally ran the ROM update utility for the Murata radio part BEFORE I ran HardSPLv2.... The result is the tri-color screen (POLA100, SPL-1.25.0000, CPLD-2), and if I try to do the HardSPL upgrade, the grey screen sticks at 0%, after that I just get the 262-error message over and over again.

I know i add up the list of total morons on this newbie forum, but I do pray someone is willing enough to give me some pointers here, since several hours of searching haven't given me any clues...

EDIT

Allright, After some searching, I found the solution in using MttY (SET 16 0 -then- task 8) to get the device in normal operation again. After that, I did a hard reset, re-established an active-sync connection, and ran the Hard-SPL again.

During this process, I found that replugging the USB cable gave me some trouble. The update process stopped (no connection to device), and the screen stilll displayed "replug your usb cable". I unplugged again, replugged after a few minutes. Now the computer (XP) recognized the device as being a "Quallcomm .... device". I ran Hard-SPL again, and now all went just fine!

WM5 ROM for O2 Xda Orbit 2

I currently have an XDA Orbit, and my car kit only works with WM5. On using WM6 the car pairs with the phone but not sound come out and the person cannot hear me.

Hence if i goto the XDA orbit 2 i would need a WM5 Rom.

Any ideas? or a workaround. I think its something to do with WM5 used bluetooth 1.2 and WM6 used bluetooth 2.0

[Touch Cruise General] cerrone:
Hello from Italy.

I'm pretty new in the forum, since I bought my Polaris previous week. It has original WM6.0 in Italian. I want to change it with English one. I tried to follow HARD SPL instruction in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381600 and everything seemed to be OK.

There was a tri colour screen with this info:

pola100 mfg

spl-1.00.1000

cpld-2

after that program announce successful completion of the upgrade (it took 5 seconds from 0 to 100%, not up to 10 minutes) and.... I'm trying to see whether in bootloader is written "SPL-2.20.Olinex" but I couldn't do this.

What is the exact combination for buttons to make a manual bootload - power+camera+reset just only reset the device and that’s all. Should I keep pressing them or what? I spent 2 days trying to do this - no success. Is there a software way to do this, because I didn’t succeed with the manual?

I tried to use the program again and I noticed that the current ROM seems to stay the same. I supposed that after the HARD SPL the info on the tri color screen should be different, but it stays the same.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance

Cerrone
[Touch Cruise General] Straputsky:
Press and hold the camera button, then do a Softreset (still hold the camera button, till you see the bootloader screen!). At least, that's what I do... :)

Edit: 10 Minutes is only for a full flash (Radio+ROM+SPL and so on). OK, that also doesn't take that much time, but that's what the time refers to.

Now I'm a little confused. Do you get the tri color screen or not? Two things: First, Hard-SPL doesn't change your ROM. Now, you are ABLE to flash other ROMs, that's all what Hard-SPL does (and that is quite much). Second, you need to go to the bootloader screen to verify if the flash was successfull. The Software Updater won't tell you that there is the new version installed.
[Touch Cruise General] cerrone:
Straputsky, believe me or not but I did it immediately after I've read your reply. Thank you, you brought a light in my soul.

Now I'm able to see ot the tri color screen:

POLA100 MFG

SPL-2.20.OliNex

CPLD-2

That mean that I can proceed with the installation of the new ROM.

I also wasn't aware that the Software Updater will not show me OliNex version, that's why I was confused when I saw the original version, using it for the second time.

Oh, it's very interesting dealing with this thing - unfortunately I'm at the begining level and some times I couldn't understand what is written here in the forum. I promise to catch up slowly with you guys.

but hard-SPL voids warranty right?

I still have warranty till feb 2009

so I have to think if I have enough reason to do a hard-SPL and flash a new ROM

and seeing alot of great ROMs in this forum just make me wanna try:p

but I have one problem as other member here, here, and here do

I cannot enter the bootloader screen.

Keeps loading..........

so I cant flash any ROM, even do Hard-SPL first

Is anything wrong with my Polaris?

Need help please

Thanks

sorry for my bad english
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Press and hold camera button. Press the reset - still hold camera- and wait until you will see the bootloader screen.

But!!!

If you still do not have hard-spl on your machhine, do not do this.

To install hard-spl manual bootloader is forbidden;)
[Touch Cruise General] iori:
finally I know what's the cause

actually the bootloader screen is the tri-color screen right?

previously, I have entered that tri-color screen

but less then 1 second, it changes to white background loading screen....

that's because I do not remove the microSD. there's alot of instructions to remove the microSD before entering bootloader mode, but I just dont realize

after I remove it, the tri-color screen shows up with the connection status at the bottom (serial, USB,...)

so we are ready to flash right?

thanks for the help guys

sorry for my english
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
If you have hard-spl yes, you are ready to rom flash.

Or install hard-spl, after use the tricolor/bootloader screen, and flash rom;)
[Touch Cruise General] iori:
OK

I have Olipro's Hard-SPL

now I'm reading carefully the Hard-SPL thread before going through

this is just getting interesting:cool:
[Touch Cruise General] iori:

A beginner's question

Hi all.

I want to attempt ROM update. I am wondering after ROM update, if I perform hard reset, does the phone revert to original (manufacturers) ROM setting?

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
If you replace your shipped rom, after HR you will not get back the shipped rom, just a fresh cooked one.
[Touch Cruise General] duncan.kim:
Thanks fktsndr

Thanks very much for your answer fktsndr. That makes me a bit nervous however, as I am not sure if it will invalidate warranty (I am on UK O2 contract). I guess there isn't any way to get back to O2 Rom? The reason why I was considering Rom upgrade was that Tomtom is not working well with current Rom (graphic kind of freeze and change in stages as opposed to smooth change) and I read somewhere that upgrading Rom (don't know which one) will resolve this issue.

Thanks again for your help.
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Shipped rom can be restored in warranty situation.

But with UK O2 rom there is a little problem, because first boot screen (splash screen) is missing from the backup rom, and nobody can find it in this forum.

The others (original spl, radio-rom, windows mobile) can be restored, you can find it in first post.

Or you should make a backup rom from your device.

Check first post, How to dump, and How to reconstruct dumped rom.
[Touch Cruise General] m.schmidler:
OMFG, I think this is just what I meant in my first ~5 posts in this forum (some may remember...).

[Touch Cruise General] duncan.kim:
Another beginners question

Graphic quality of Tomtom navigator is disappointing on my Orbit 2 to say the least. Changes are not smooth but rather intermittent making it difficult to use in busy city. Is there any easy solution rather than ROM upgrade? I am worried out invalidating o2 warranty. Also, I realised that when I change from 'vibration only' mode to 'normal' mode etc, notifications (sound/vibration) get all mixed up. I installed HTC home. Is that a bug or comflict?

Thanks in advance.

Original SPL

Hi my touchscreen is not responding and I'm trying to restore it to its original condition before I give it to the customer care guys. I've flashed the original ROM from the HTC website. Now when I try to flash the original SPL, as per the 2nd post it, it's asking me to approve it, which I cant as my touchscreen is not working...

Is there any alternative to install the original SPL without using the touchscreen like directly going to the bootloader screen...

Any help on this would be great..
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Do hardware buttons work? The wheel and the central button?
[Touch Cruise General] Vamshi:
Yes they do work.. Only the touchscreen has stopped responding. I tried approving the message, ie. to enter bootloader screen, with harware buttons but it did not work. Even the software mymobiler required a similar approval..

So is there any way to flash the the original SPL after entering the bootloader manually..
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
As I know there is no any way to restore original spl after after entering the hard-spl bootloader manually...

Hard-spl protects itself, in this situation you can not overwrite it...
[Touch Cruise General] Vamshi:
OK.. Is there any other alternative then to install the original SPL...

How about flashing a cooked ROM which does not ask for such approvals, then flashing the original SPL and then finally flashing the back the original ROM...

I've no idea how SPL works so I'm asking you..
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Not suggested, but it seems this the only option. You can not loose anything, I think.

Hello guys,

My main question is:

I have a stable working rom/radio/software installed etc.

How can I backup/clone all of this, and still be able to flash new roms and test them, and if I don't like them just to return back to the stable one.

My question is how can I restore my original SPL 1.00.1000 ? I didn't find it here, Is there any way to extract it from my Rom 1.28.415.2 WWE ?

Please if any one can help ? My device has a problem (no service, can't use the dial, can't get my contacts) and still under warrenty, so I need to get it back as b4.

Thanks
[Touch Cruise General] fktsndr:
Offical 1.28.415.2 has spl 1.28.0000 as I remember....

But if you can give me a link of an offical rom with spl 1.00.1000 i can extract it from the rom.

An other thing, you can upgrade your device to WM6.1 and it will be still under warranty, because it is an offical upgrade.

(the offical romupdate upgrades you spl too...)
