Support for SPL-1.26

Hi

I've got a USA Tmo Dash 3G. I upgraded yesterday using the Tmobile WM6.5 build. It's nice but a battery hog and doesn't have the Titanium UI.

So I wanted to try some of the ROMs offered here. But I get stuck on the Hard-SPL part, using either 1.17 or 1.19 it errors out running the ROM upgrade part with "Error[260] Connectivity".

Looking at the Boot ROM screen I see that my phone has SPL-1.26 which I assume was installed by the Tmo 6.5 upgrade.

Anyone have any ideas to get this working so I can install some new ROMs?

Thanks in advance

HTC S523 SNAP - SPL not working

Hey Guys

Another Noob here ....... I have an HTC S523 from Australia that I am using in Canada. The 3G works great here in Canada but I want to get WM6.5 loaded onto it as right now it has the shipped wm6.1.

ookba's 3VO looks like a great choice but I can not seem to get this or the HardSPL to work correctly on my device. I get to the grey screen with the status bar but it stays at 0% until finally I get the ERROR screen on my desktop.

I have run the application unlock and it stated that my device was successfully unlocked. My present SPL is 1.22 and the device is a S523.

I would greatly appreciate the help here

Thanks

SPL 1.26 and custom ROM

1. Download RUU_Captain_TMOUS_1.17.531.5_refry original ROM

2. Click on auto.bat

3. Copy JumpSPL.exe to root of Device

4. Follow Insturctions on screen.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] tenchibr:
Didn't work for me; I went down from stock WM6.5 to WM6.1 and my SPL is STILL 1.26... Isn't it possible to just create a 1.26 HardSPL instead of the downgrading?

Edit: I don't know if each SPL version is an actual code revamp individually or just a number; if it's just numbers, I'd love to see a bat where u type SPL version and it automatically converts all related data to it? That would be sweet, seeing there's also SPL1.22 in the above post - killing 2 birds with 1 stone?

Downgrade SPL

To change the SPL to 1.19 REPLACE the SSPL folder from RUU_Captain_TMOUS_1.17.531.5_refry to the one in the

Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW, and REPLACE the original sspl-maple-1.17.bin from the RUU_Captain_TMOUS_1.17.531.5_refry with sspl-maple-1.19.bin in the SSPL Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW folder.

1. Get Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW rename SSPL folder to SSPL.old

2. Get RUU_Captain_TMOUS_1.17.531.5_refry

3. Copy SSPL from RUU_Captain_TMOUS_1.17.531.5_refry

4. To Dash3G HardSPL1.19 by JockyW

5. Copy sspl-maple-1.19.bin from SSPL.old to SSPL

6. Run auto.bat, follow instructions, Dash will as to run JumpSPL, screen will go black and follow instructions on Computer...Wait...Wait...Wait...the percentage will start after about a minute or two...boom done. SPL 1.19, now you can flash as usual.

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] plohip:
For the Dash 3G users out there with SPL1.26 that are having issues flashing HardSPL...

After trying on and off for three days I FINALLY got it to take.

1. Go into the SSPL folder in JockyW's HardSPL1.19

2. Run sspl.bat, follow the onscreen instructions, click ok on the phone

3. The screen will now turn black and the phone will be unresponsive

4. In active sync or WMDC uncheck "allow USB connection" and unplug the phone, I waited about 20 seconds and plugged it back in

5. Run the ROMUpdateUtility in the HardSPL1.19 folder and when the progress bar comes up click the ball, I clicked twice, not sure if this did anything but it worked for me.

Reboot the phone into the bootloader, I was actually surprised to see that it flashed the HardSPL.

I then tried to flash the 3VO but it wouldn't take, it would just get stuck at the stock splash screen.

I was able to flash 3VO by putting MAPLIMG.nbh on a SD card and booting into the bootrom and upgrading that way.

I hope this helps somebody out there!:D

Hoping the method for the 1.26 works. ^_^
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] Banstaman:
After a few agonizing weeks of trying to get it to work (I know, I know, that took a long time, I was juggling school with a recent tragedy) I finally just got it 5 minutes ago. Here's what I did:

My 1.26.000 hard SPL-ing

1. Removed SIM and SD card

2. Connected, established a sync connection w/ActiveSync

3. In JockyW's folder; open "SSPL"

4. Run SSPL.bat

5. If you have a firewall or anti-rootkit running ie. COMODO Internet Security, disable those and the sandbox if your security software has one

6. Follow commands in command prompt

7. Pop up should show on your device's screen

8. The "OK" option is outside of the screen's viewable area, press the trackball or press enter.

9. The phone's screen will shut off but the keyboard will remain lit

10. DO NOT DISCONNECT

11. LEAVE ACTIVESYNC ALONE

12. Return to the JockyW folder

13. Run the ROMUpdateUtility

14. It will complete HOWEVER when you start your device, it will stay at the T-Mobile splash screen, but that's okay, given that your device should now be hardSPL'd and you are ready to get a new ROM to install and enjoy, because we know just how much the OEM ROM sucked.

Phew, I just turned 17 recently, and this sort of explains some of my air falling out already. Now I'm happily running 3VO

ok so i did the steps as you did but the device gets stuck at the splash screen, it is hardSPL'd tho. I did it again and it still got stuck there, so is there another file that i'm supposed to click on in the FLASH-MAPl folder cuz all they tell you is to run the romupdateutility but theres like 10 files in that folder.

i actually got it to work, i feel stupid now but its all good, i just had to run the romupdateutility from the ROM folder itself after hardSPLing, which i didnt do before thus i was stuck at that splash screen..anyway this rom is pretty awesome!!!

Error [260]: No device connected

Good day, Gents!

Yersterday, I started to HARD SPL my T-mobile Dash 3G, but it did not complete and now my T-Mo DASH 3G stopping to loading on first bootloader screen ("stick together"... sounds funny, when it`s like brick). So, I was trying to reinstall ROM, but now my PC (Win XP) and my laptop (Win 7) dont see device.

I was trying to find device through control panel of Windows, but it doesnot find anything.

I was trying to hard-reset my T-Mo, but it said like Hard Reset is successfull, but still does not go far then that "stick together".

Please, help me, really cannot understand, what I did. May be there is a way to restore my phone by using flash-stick?

Currently, I can see on device screen following:

- white back ground with red cub and words "Stick together" + red tech. signs like "B00 (left-down coner of the screen)", "G 61.25t.25.19U" "R 3.44.25.30" "D 1.17.50264" (right-down frame of the creen) ... that`s all(

Many thanks and Regards,

Hey, I uses Banstaman's method to downgrade from spl 1.26 to 1.19, however a few interesting things happened.

After I flashed to 1.19 and the screen hung on the tmobile splash screen, I took out the phone's battery and started it. It hung on the boot screen, then actually started, but had a strange popup box with an error code in it which occupied much of the screen.

I shut-down the phone. Then restarted it and it hung on the tmobile splash screen indefinitely. The computer wouldn't recognize it now.

Next I took out the battery, replaced it and loaded the tricolor boot screen which confirms that hard spl 1.19 is installed. The computer makes a confirmation sound when I plug the phone in, but won't install the device drivers. I can't flash anything, and starting the phone by holding volume up+ power supposedly worked, according to the phone, however it changed nothing. Will keep working on it and posting back here.

Suggestions are appreciated though!

Update: Trying to get windows 7 to recognize the device to no avail. Does anyone know which drivers I need to install to get the PC to recognize the phone? I am trying to manually install them and my options are:

htc smartphone usb sync

htc usb sync

PocketPc Usb sync

SmartPhone Usb sync

Edit: I tested the drivers and its HTC USB Sync that needs to be installed, if you are running the phone from the bootloader. Selevt it as the driver for "Unknown Base Device" there should be two of them in the device manager tree.

I then uninstalled the drivers, unplugged and replugged in the usb cable for the phone and windows automatically found a qualcom cdma device and then installed the htc usb sync and I am currently flashing 3VO.3.00.041010

Update: It installed without a hitch.

Hah, v1.17 didn't work on my Maple, but v1.19 worked. Awesome. Flashed to the 3VO ROM, and I'm enjoying it. Cheers! :)
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] archmedic:
Thanks much for the update BonesRed.

ps: see below if you're running a Mac + VMWare.

For those having USB connection problems with Windows 7, where it successfully runs the JumpSPL and ends up at a black screen with no USB activity, here's what I did after *many* failed attempts. (I've got an HTC Maple with the 1.24 SPL btw.)

The trick is that Windows 7 sometimes *fails* to install the USB driver properly after JumpSPL has been activated on the phone. When that happens, you will get a yellow ! icon beside the "HTC USB Sync" icon in the Device Manager. That is why it is not connecting properly.

So here are the modified steps if you're having the usb syncing problem:

1. Go into the HardSPL 1.17 (or 1.19) "SSPL" folder and run "sspl.bat"

2. Follow the instructions as usual.

3. When you get the popup on your phone asking if you want to run this program press the trackball in, and wait for the phone to go black. THIS IS NORMAL.

4. You will hear Windows 7 make the USB 'disconnect' sound. Go into your control panel -> device manager.

5. You need to right-click on the HTC USB Sync icon, click 'Update Driver Software' -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick a list of device drivers from my computer -> and select the driver named "HTC USB Sync". Hit OK, and let it reinstall the driver.

6. You should hear the Windows 7 "USB connected" sound. NOW you can run RomUpdateUtility.exe in your HardSPL 1.17 (or 1.19) folder.

Note to HTC Maple users (MAPL100)... I was only able to use HardSPL 1.17. For some reason, 1.19 kept freezing whenever I ran the JumpSPL program (it would freeze up the phone at the 'hit ok' dialog box).

And finally, a note to Mac users running VMWare. I realize that I was not getting USB activity after running JumpSPL because I did not instruct VMWare to connect my new usb device to Windows 7. If you are running Vmware, make SURE you click on the "usb" icon in the bottom right corner of your Vmware session (it looks like a funny 3-pronged fork), so Windows gets access to your phone (it will say "Qualcomm CDMA" or somesuch).

Thanks again everyone for all the help. I hope that is clear.

Edit: I ended up having the same driver installation problem when it came to flashing with the Windows Mobile 6.5 rom (in this forum). Just had to do the same "update driver" trick, and it picked up the phone in bootloader mode just fine.
