HardSPL

Need Your advice

1. Do I need to flash HardSPL again before flashing new radio if I did it already before flashing ROMeOS?

2. Do I need to flash HardSPL again before flashing new ROMeOS version?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] P1Tater:
No and No.

1 time is all you need unless you reverted back to the stock SPL. However, you must be security unlocked to flash a radio from a different device such as the Diamonds, Xperia, Blackstone and Quartz radios.

Help!!! Flashing Hardspl!!!

I just got my fuze today and am trying to flash HardSPL onto it. I have followed the instrustions in these threads very closely but everytime I get to the part where the status bar appears on my comp and the phones screen goes black, it doesn't even get past 0% and then on my comp the hardspl RUU program goes to and error page that says Error [260] and the connection fails or something.

I noticed that right before it does that, the comp seems to disconnect activesync from the phone.

Can anyone help, asap!!!!

Thanks.

EDIT: I finally figured it out on my own!!!

Just got a new Fuze in the US.

The stock SPL is 1.95.0000.

Any interest/help in getting this saved for the community would be great.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] schizo:
I'm ashamed on asking this but i already tried many possible ways and still getting the same errors as many users here reported: Error in Connection after the device went black.

I must inform you that the steps are the same with Flashing HardSPL for Diamond, as I already did. It went black with diamond, but then continue the flashing. But with this TouchPro a friend of mine wanted me to upgrade, it keep failing.

I already read, there's some sort of JumpSPL also provided for TouchPro. But users who tried it still can not succeed.

Anyone can give us enlightment? Many TIA.

edit: Oh, and before anyone asked this TouchPro came originally with ROM Version 1.90.707.4 WWE Asia

Help-ERROR [294] INVALID VEDOR ID

I had a problem with my Touch Pro and had to take it to service.

I flashed the Egypt Stock Rom and then I follwed the instructions on first post to flash the Stock SPL to the phone.

When I took the phone to the service they thought the problem was a software problem and tried to flash the original rom and wanted to charge me because they will change the main board as they can not flash the rom.

I got the phone back and tried to flash the stock rom 1.90.405.1 and the phone and got ERROR [294] INVALID VEDOR ID .

I tried flashing other stock roms and got the same error too.

I can only flash the phone after HardSPL only.

Please advice, I need the original 1.90.405.1 SPL to be able to fix my problem.

Thank you and best regards
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] schizo:
Errr.. so you were saying that you reflash stock SPL but didn't reflash original ROM before returning to service?

As for the error, I think you may need to do SU (Security Unlock) first before flashing the ROM. Please try.

Lastly, I still cannot flash this HardSPL too... good lord... *still looking for help*
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shafez:
I have flashe the original rom and then flashed the original SPL but I Can not flash the original rom after that unless I Hard spl my device, Otherwise I get Error 294.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zoko:
hey ppl, i want to take a doubt, if it´s possible. If a flash hard SPL on Raphael, after that can i put a full ROM, i.e. a .nbh stock (ipl+spl+radio+os+boot sreen´s), or a have to dump the full .nbh to take out the IPL and SPL?

tks!

Error 262- SOLVED-MAYBE ( Asking for Help from Cmonex and olipro)

Hi

I've got this friend who tried to Hard SPL his Touch Pro and after the device screen turning black he got Error 262. we tried everything ( XP- Vista- changing USB Port- changing cable etc...)

but we always got the same error

then somthing strange came in to my mind...i told him to ran the Hardsol file but replace the nbh file with stock spl provided in the first post. this time we did not have an Error message and everything went well...than we tried the Olinex Hardspl and it went well too and now his device has hardspl...

i think that may be some devices has a different kind of spl ..or some devices are simply different...we need help from Olipro and Comonex...i'm going to PM Cmonex now...

I have tried using a vista pc to flash my brand new out of the box att fuze (usa) and a windows xp machine, it get to the bootloader where screen blacks out and then it stalls and fails. it is the same on both machines, have newest versions of mibility center, activesync, and the newest hardspl from this thread, it always tries to install a new driver when it goes into bootloader (black screen) and installs the htc usb sync driver, (on both xp and vista) i know i must be retarded because i flashed my tmobile wing (herald) all the time with no problems!

could some one please give me a hand with this!!!!!

thanks!

**** i am not trying to flash a rom perse but following directions and triying to do the updates hardspl lock from this site and Im having all these problems!!!!!!

I just want to get this fixed!!!

**********************ANSWER TO MY FAILURE TO UNLOCK!!!**************

it turned out that because i had a ready to go rom nbh file where the bootloader program extracted it was trying to flash that file instead of the patched bootloader!! ugh!

the answer was to simple move the file to another directory and rerun the program! worked like a champ for me in vista with mobile center!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Um...this is a prime example of why we tell you to read the wiki for the basic info you need before diving head first into something you know nothing about. RTFM = Read the f*cking manual!

You just tried to flash a GSM SPL on a CDMA device. You've basically "bricked" your phone. While the condition *may* be reversible, CDMA code for the Raphael is currently unavailable, hence you have nothing to return to.

You are now the proud owner of a very expensive paperweight. I doubt VZW will exchange it under warranty. You'll have to wait until CDMA work progresses.

And SHAME on OliNex for not making that fact perfectly clear in this post. I believe I saw, at least, two people who reported they tried this with their CDMA Raphael. I'm sure this will prove to be the last time they flash anything.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bosco323:
while this has been stated before this solved my issue with my fuze, so i'm posting in the event this might help others

i originally had 1pl 1.95 and was experiencing the black screen on the device associated with the 0% status bar and resulting error after some time

i did the following, in addition to following the steps laid out in the original post:

1) swapped usb mini cables (doubt this made a difference)

2) used a different usb port (doubt this made a difference)

3) went into the phone settings -> connections -> usb to PC and unchecked the enabled advanced network functionality item

4) when i reconnected the phone to the computer, it detected and installed different drivers than it had prior (new drivers specifically said "pocket PC")

5) i ran RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe and followed the on-screen instructions

6) device went to black

7) active synch dropped BUT it detected and installed yet another driver for a qualcomm device

8) at this point, RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe returned another connection error with the device still showing black

9) allow qualcomm driver to finish installing

10) re-run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe

and FINALLY ... after hours and reading through all 38+ pages of posts on this thread i was able to get hardspl to take

not sure if this helps other fuze users, but just in case ... and good luck

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bosco323:
it autodetected (i'm on 32bit vista for what its worth)

i tried to find the device that installed but i couldnt find it under driver info when i plugged my fuze into the computer via usb... that said i cant confirm the driver name, only that it was a qualcomm device (which means i dont know if it called it a qualcomm cdma device or not ... i would be inclined to believe it didnt because i own the gsm version)

Hi Guys,

I've decided that I want to Donate to help you with your projects.

I Have a Diamond that I won't be using any more sinds I have de Touch Pro now.

So I decided to Donate de Diamond, but sinds you need a Raphael, we have a problem. May be we can set something up so that a menber that want's a Diamond can Donate an appropiate amount to you and I will ship the Diamond to that person. I'm Dutch and live in the Netherlands so I prevere to ship here.

I'm sorry, as you may have noticed I'm not a frequent poster. May be I should have posted in an other topic or thred. But I want to donate to the Raphael project team

Other suggestions are welcome.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] weaselcossey:
I swear!

Charge phone, remove sd and sim, disable all power saving options on phone (start>Settings>system>power>advanced> uncheck all boxes, disable hibernate/standby on PC, connect phone to pc via usb, wait until synced, run hardspl, do what it says, when its done, enter bootloader to verify it worked, flash a radio if you like, flash a rom if you like. Anytime you flash a rom, ALWAYS hard reset at the "tap screen to continue......" screen. After the hardspl, its all the same process.

About Note #4 . . .

What if this RUU is used to flash a custom ROM (beyond SPL use). The custom ROM flashed this way doesn't seem unflashable. OPTIONS??

Thanks for your help
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tyguy:
@jahmai1 and all

The filename of any file flashed to the phone has to end with NBH!

ruu_signed.nbh is the most common filename which is expected if you flash through the wrapper or customruu.exe (different when you flash from the SD card there it would be RAPHIMG.NBH if I'm not wrong).

Any tool (wrapper or customruu) will look for this file / file extension.

For courtesy reasons a file may be renamed to i.e. "Radio1.02.25.32.nbh".

I'm not 100% sure if all flash tools will accept this name, worst case rename to ruu_signed.nbh. Based on the CONTENT of the NBH file it will replace either a Radio, ROM or even SPL. All three parts co-exist on the device.

Current hardSPL (to enable flashing ROMs different from provider provided ROMs) is 1.90.

Though ATT for example is shipping a 1.95 version there is currently no indication of "good or better" hardSPLs (right now there's only one).

In the past and on other devices (Kaiser for example) the combination of SPL and ROM was somehow important for stability and battery life, not the case (so far) on the Raph/Fuze/MDA Vario IV (or whatever name the provider was giving the device).

Do not give too much on the version number displayed from the flash tool, a Radio flash will say ROM flash and perhaps version 1.00.00 and trust somehow the chef.

VERY VERY IMPORTANT:

The NBH file in the same directory of the flash tool WILL BE FLASHED. So if you would have a Kaiser.nbh in the directory the flash tool will try to flash that file giving you almost the guarantee that you have a nice shiny freaking expensive paperweight (aka brick) on your desk!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jahmai1:
Thanks For The Feedback

That helps me.

I guess that means that if the HSPL flashing tool was used inadvertently to flash a custom rom (.nbh), there is no way of undoing it.

I ask because I have a custom rom but am not satisfied with how much program memory it uses and wanted to flash other custom rom(s) (.nbh) til I found one that didn't leave me memory crippled for regular usage.

If that's the case, so be it, but am looking for either a way back or through what appears to be a custom rom from HELL (it works well, it just eats all system resources).

Any help appreciated
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tyguy:
@jahmai1

hardSPL HAS TO BE USED to flash custom ROMs!

If you have hardSPL you can flash any custom ROM here in the forum.

If you have hardSPL you can flash any RAPHAEL/FUZE Radio

Your phone has to be SECURITY unlocked if you flash NON-Raphael/Fuze RADIOs (xperia, backstone).**

So the only things you have to be careful about are:

hardSPL installed

If NOT security unlocked don't flash a ROM which comes with a non-Raphael/Fuze radio.

**

RRE ROM and the 20M1 Radio WILL work with a hardSPL'd phone (since it's a Raphael Radio)

RRE ROM and 1.06.25.29 Xperia WILL NOT as long as your phone is NOT security unlocked (purchase the key in the CID/SIM unlocker thread)

OT:

What ROM are you using? All ROMs I've played with and tested left somewhere between 135 and 118 meg free RAM and at least 270 meg for storage. OK, I do have most programs installed on the SD but anyhow...???
