[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] OliNex:
Hard-SPL for Topaz - Released!

-continued from first post-

Troubleshooting

firstly:

- read the instructions above.

- read the instructions above.

- read the instructions above.

you've donated and it still doesn't work: if you donated in Manual mode, you didn't enter an IMEI or it was mistyped. if you donate in Automatic mode, that will always work as long as the error message was about the commercial usage. to fix this, please contact us at the support ticket system link and use HardSPL - Paying category!

nothing happens on the device, does not enter tricolour screen mode:

- anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, you can get SSPL-Manual-Topaz.exe from attachment in this post, copy it to the *device* itself and run it. then once the screen is showing SSPL, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and select Manual flash option. please do not use Manual flash option for any other purposes.

- please make sure you watch the device screen if it asks about running files (it probably won't, I made sure of that, but just in case, check).

- also you can try unticking advanced usb/network functionality in settings on the device. exact location of this will probably be: start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.

general usb connection error problems

- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to x.xx.C-SSPL tricolour screen: make sure device was still synced via USB to the PC at the point of it entering SSPL (the tricolour x.xx.C-SSPL screen) and do not try replugging please, that will probably just crash SSPL.

- it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the "USB" text on the tricolour screen shows up, RUU will see device. if not (happens very rarely), wait for RUU to time out (or wait a few minutes). then remove back cover, reset, it will boot OS again, then you can retry unlocking process.

- try a different USB port

- try different USB cable

- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy

- also do not use USB hub

- you can also try rebooting your PC

- and you can try using another PC.

- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time and perhaps if you are on vista), then if RUU times out, but device still says "USB" on the tricolour screen, just leave it there and re-run the Hard-SPL package when driver installation finishes - you must use Manual Flash option in such a case.

- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.

ModelID checking: if SSPL loader says it's for a different model or device, please contact cmonex in PM for testing SPL on that too. check modelid by entering SPL tricolour screen manually and note what it says (TOPA100, or something else). note: currently SSPL accepts any TOPA*****, but if we get notified of an incompatible (CDMA) topaz version, we will instantly modify it to deny those models.

other issues

- if device reports that Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or corrupt signature or similar), try a hard reset.

- if device reboots instead of going to SSPL screen (x.xx.C-SSPL), which is very unlikely to happen, then contact us by PM to cmonex. do not PM OliNex user, that is not monitored frequently (and PM's to it are disabled now anyway).

- if none of the above help, read thread for further suggestions, if still nothing, make a post in thread describing all details about the exact situation.

- a new note about Hard-SPL versions: if for some reason you intend to use a stock rom, the Hard-SPL version should match the rom. (for example old 1.8x rom with old Hard-SPL, not 2.51, and so on.) cooked roms shouldn't be an issue.

how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.

1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC

2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary, the included one is the 1.33.0000 stock SPL. you can also use 1.83 in attachment to this post (Topaz-StockSPL183_NBH.zip)

3. flash

4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 1.33.0000 (or 1.83.0000), not 1.33.OliNex.

About UPDATES:

-the last release (V5.09) added:

1. SSPL update supports more devices (especially more recent devices that would not update the SPL to Hard-SPL).

2. HardSPL binary is still 1.83.OliNex, should be fully compatible with HTC's WM6.5 RUU's.

NOTE: v5.00 will tell you to update to v5.09! and older than v5.00 will not work, so don't bother with the old versions.

-previous release 1 (V5.00) added:

1. new HardSPL binary, 1.83.OliNex, should be fully compatible with HTC's WM6.5 RUU's.

2. new SSPL binary, supporting more devices

3. fixes; this version will also tell you in future if you need an update for HardSPL.

-previous release 2 (V3.01) fixed the following 2 issues:

1. if you get this error message: "Please make sure the device is still plugged in and synchronized to the PC"

2. if the SPL version did not change to 1.33.OliNex, but stays on 1.33.0000

PS: if you still get any of these problems let us know in the thread! thank you.
