For all the noob and unanswered questions please goto http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400699

As for the HardSPL flash, it leaves the ROM alone right? So it will still boot the original that is present on the phone or does it need to be signed too? My major concern before flashing the HardSPL to my device.

Just to clarify HardSPL is purely a new SPL, nothing else is changed ... just the SPL? So radio ROM and manufacturer ROM stays untouched?

I figured the phone only has a radio ROM, SPL and manufacturer ROM?

The expected outcome for me is: "Yes only SPL is touched, the rest stays intact and is usable HTC or OliNex signed."
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sub69:
Hang on, I didn't mean you (or anyone in particular). The end of my sentence that you quoted made that clear?! I meant all of the people who have never used a WM device before, and can't be bothered to read before they post. The dumb ones who are now going to be attracted by HTC's most consumer-targeted phone yet, and will open new threads to ask questions like "what's a cab file for?" more often than ever before...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
I'm sorry, but this is not good. What this Hard-SPL does is exactly the same as HTC does. It still demand you to place roms on it which are signed.

What if i wanna make my own rom? I have finished it and what do you wanna get first done? Flashing it ofcourse. But no, i can't cause i have to ask this group to sign my rom first before i can flash it on my device. Maybe they are at holiday or at school or maybe they dont want too cause they dont like me ;)

And what about the former roms? When a cooked rom has been placed you find many replies that the rom works (or not). In my opinion this is almost as safe a signing it.

So i really hope someone brings out an hard-spl which doesnt require signed roms. It makes playing with these devices a lot of more fun.

Dont get me wrong. I appreciate the hard work of these groups. But it is not like it was in the early days. Helping each other. I see threads with flames/ calling names etc...and that is what worries me.

edit: not to mention the warranty you loose

//offtopic

Well, that's exatly me - never owned WM device before although I consider myself as a very experienced PC user. I just kept finding my phone amongst Symbian ones the past few years. But now I'm looking forward to buying the recently announced Touch Pro and because I'm not just dumb mass consumer I want to know everything it does or doesn't do before I buy it. So I'll definitely ask dumb questions in the beginning. If you can't or don't want to help at least don't offend. Peace.

//ontopic

To get back on topic - as a newbie to WM I support the whole signed thing because in the beginning I can count on somebody much more experienced than me to make sure I don't brick my expensive device by fault. But I completely understand the limiting effect for the other experienced users over here that want to experiment with their devices and skills. And as I understand the team already announced that there'll be an unsigned version soon enough.

But does this mean that you'll abandon the signed one?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sub69:
Believe me, if you are someone who opens threads to ask dumb questions that have been asked a hundred times before, you will be flamed and abused. Not by me, I don't waste my time on flaming. I just quietly enjoy seeing the fights.

None of us are born with any knowledge, but there's a distinction between those who can search/read/learn/contribute and those who can't. I hope for your own sake, you don't really mean to say that you're one of the latter?

Anyway, I see the first ever cooked (and signed ;)) ROM has been released. Good way to waste the rest of the afternoon in my opinion... I'm itching to create my own Diamond ROM, but this'll do for now while I make a list of "things I want to change in my personalised ROM".

On topic, I have to say I see the whole signing thing as a little bit pointless. I don't think I've seen many people brick their phone irretrievably and if even a tiny bit of common sense is used and some reading is done before flashing, then you're pretty safe. If people don't bother to read the instructions first, then I have very little sympathy when the end up with a brick... Seems that the ones who can't be bothered to do things properly are 'delaying' the fun for the rest of us. Or have I missed a post that explains a different reason for the signing?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] leofungwai:
question : anyway to go back to orginal SPL ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jacky111:
I also want to know.

Is it need wait the offical rom? Than update the offical , it will back to offical SPL?

Thank you for answer my question.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
here's "unsigned hardspl":

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2312363&posted=1#post2312363

as for stock SPL there will be one posted very soon. (we'll probably post 1.23, 1.34 and 1.35 too.) we have to sign it first, because the current scenario ONLY lets you flash a properly signed SPL NBH, which is quite safe. I hope this is not seen as a limitation, ROMs can be flashed freely now if you know what you are doing.

Been a fan from Hermes via Kaiser now to Diamond, many thanks for Hard SPL.

Just flashed phone from Vista U, fookmi, the way the screen faded out strangely before the upload completed, thought I was going to have a brick there for a moment :D

About to try flashing Elite, will hopefully sort out the horrible lag the phone seems to have responding to touchflo etc.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ammcfc:
I have two questions;

1. Will reversed stock HTC SPL be released for signed Hard-SPL ?

2.Can I flash unsigned Hard SPL over signed Hard one?

Thanks in advance

Great job!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
YES to both.

as for 1) I'll upload 1.23, 1.34 and 1.35 today.

as for 2) just go to the hardspl developer edition thread, get package and run the program(s) in it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
do not try to run that RUU on the SSPL, this SSPL will (intentionally) reject anything that's not an SPL file.

I used the hard.spl manually in my diamond, then I launched the update utlity, but nearly at the end of the process an error message is displayed: "image file is corrupted".

any suggestion?

I bet you were trying to flash something other than the hardspl NBH. ONLY flash an SPL with the SSPL.

if you want to flash some OS or whatever, just do not use SSPL. ensure you installed hardspl then just run a normal RUU, not the one in this thread!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
I'm sorry Oli(pro or nex), but the reason i dont donate to you is the fact you always calling people names. Its not professional and you dont make friends like this.

Everytime i see a post of you when you shout to people or calling names when they say something which isn't what you want to hear. Why are you doing that?

OliNex is not Olipro, that's me and Olipro.

I used to be upset over that until I read one of his posts 1 year ago in which he said this is not to be taken seriously.

I recommend you do the same - don't take it seriously.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
special treatment for special ppl;)

now try and imagine this forum without olipro & comp......what's left? a bunch of ppl complaining, complaining, wining and producing posts like:

- radio fm sucks

- the speaker is crappy

- gps under par...

nothing P R O D U C T I V E!

loosing yr temper over some moron's post is not too hard to understand and making a few bleed noses has (sometimes) a warning effect over other morons:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
I understand that some post are needed to learn some others, but the programmers of the SPL earn some donation for their work, but if they call anyone who asks a question a noob or moron, then they are cutting in their own wallet. I have also a support job irl and yes, sometimes i want to scream to people who still asking the same old question, but eventually i hold it in, and receive more and better feedback for that.

But then again, everyone must do what they wanna do...no problem with that.

Then there are others who wanna make this community better. But i saw a post from Olipro where he called names to Tom who was trying to make also an Hard-SPL. And be honest, thats not nice.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] KukurikU:
no, calling other ppl names is not nice, i never said is nice. i said "not so hard to understand". :p and yes, it is not smart $$$-wise....lol...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Olipro:
Yeah, but, he can't actually make one; the bulk of the stuff he turns out is an amalgamation of things created by other people... however, I've had a chat with a few and they've become fed up with his all-take-and-no-give, so that's come to an end.

Perhaps he might bother to teach himself the necessary skills and finally actually produce things independently
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tramuyo:
Just like Trinity splxploit and other devices unbrick ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Yzord:
Ok, i indeed don't know who Tom is and if he really can('t) make one. But nevertheless, you react normal on my posts, so i guess you're not that bad guy i thought you were :D

But i do hope all developers will put their hands together to make XDA the place for flashing****. I appreciate your work and all others.

From my side i cut this discussion which is offtopic for this thread. Thanks for the answers.

Thank you all guys for the amazing work!

I'm sorry to have another noob question, but maybe I'm not the only one in this case:

Originally my diamond had WWE 1.35 rom. I successfully upgraded to 1.37.405.1 WWE rom, without installing your hardSPL. Now I'd like to install the TLR rom or the ME 1.37.456.2 rom.

- I tried to install hardSPL and unsigned hardSPL -> doesn't work (block at 0%)

Does this hardSPL support 1.37 roms?

- I tried to downgrade directly to 1.35 to install hardSPL -> doesn't work

What can I do?

Will hardSPL support 1.37 roms?

Am I all wrong? :confused:

Thanks again for your work!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] FancyPants:
Tried Hard-SPL, got it to reach 100% and automatically hard-reset my device, however it still says that the version is 1.35.707.3 I tried TLR anyway and i keep getting stuck at 0%. I'm assuming it's because my device did not flash properly? I've been reading the forums for a week before trying this and have been on the verge of destroying my diamond for the last 7.5 hours of trying this over and over again. Please help before i lose my mind.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
no, only if you use developer edition (see thread for that)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cmonex:
please read more before you lose your mind

version is not 1.35.707, that's the OS version, you need to enter bootloader mode to see your bootloader version. but if the RUU went to 100% and did a hard reset then it was flashed successfully.

use the signed version of TLR, see 1st post in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400411

if it does, do not touch the usb cable, and just launch the included RUU exe, wait for the RUU to finish at 100% then you're done.

When can this be expected?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Riel:
Signed SPL are for Signed roms

UNsigned SPL you can flash anything.

Signed roms are 'safe', I guess the lowest risk to brick your device, and tested ROMs.

Unsigned roms could be unsafe, and this SPL is needed if you want to flash every ROM you find immediatedly.

So with the 'Singed' SPL you can't flash every rom, but the roms given in that thread.

It's explained everywhere.
