<- Guarantee and chaffing ->​

1. Neither xda-developer, nor the hacker (who made HardSPL possible) nor ME are liable for any demage on your device.

2. By using HSPL you can loose your guarantee. Ask your mobile-operator for more informations.

3. You use HSPL on your own risk. When you do a mistake, it’s all your own fault. The hacker and developer works hard to make everyting working. But the world is not perfect.

<--- What is SPL and why do i need it? --->​

The SPL is mainly a bootloader which allows a ROM to be flashed onto your device. As has been uncovered recently (or known to the more astute longer) the SPL does more than just load and boot the ROM it sets various flags which can control the operation of the OS on the device. It also controls some operations between the OS and the device's hardware. SPLs come paired with shipped (or leaked) official ROMs and are meant to match the ROMs operation. Therefore, with each new ROM release there is likely to be a new SPL.

There are two versions of SPL:

HardSPL & SoftSPL

SoftSPL is a patched SPL that will temporary unlock your CID (until reboot). Why Temporary? Because of your warranty, since there is no CID block written, your warranty will not be voided. Also with this tool it is not necesarry to have a permanently unlocked CID. And last it's safe. It doesn't flash a CID block or IPL/SPL to your device on it's own, but you should choose the ROM you want to flash wisely.

For more informations read the xda-wiki. Use it!

HSPL is a custom G4 SPL patched by Olipro which let your device think it has SuperCID (aka CID unlocked). If you use HardSPL, you don't need a separate loader in the future, just use the RUU provided in the ROM package.

YOu need more informations? Use the xda-wiki! It´s realy useful! Realy!

<-- Preparing-->​

The PC

Make sure you use Win7 or WinXP. In past the experience with WinXP was the best while flashing a device. Flashing with WinVista is realy risky.

Close all not needed running processes on the PC like MSN, ICQ, Donloads/Uploads, etc.

Very important is to shutdown your firewall and your anti-virus software. Secialy G-Data makes problems while flashing.

The device

1. Make sure the Battery is over 50% charged. 100% is best.

2. Backup your data. Use SPB Backup or any other Backup-Tools. I recommend SPB Backup, cause it is 100% compatible with WinMo 6.5

3. Make sure you have a Gold Card ("]Link)

Important: Untill there is no HSPL yet, you will need a GoldCard!

How to get a GoldCard?

<--- Let´s begin! --->​

1. Download SSPL: Download-Thread Direkt-Link

2. Extract the File to a new folder

3. Connect the device with the PC via Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center

4. Place the ROM you want flash into the same folder. Make sure the ROM is a ".NBH" file and not an ".EXE" file

5. Press "SSPL_RUU.exe" twice

6. Read, select the checkbox, press NEXT

7. Read, select the checkbox, press NEXT

8. Wait untill the device-informations are vertifyted

9. Press "Uptate"

10. Read, press NEXT

11. Flashing

12. Done!

<--- How to flash an other ROM and the Invalid ID problem --->​

INVALID VENDER ID

You have used SSPL for flashing a cooked ROM. But you are not happy with this ROM and want flash an other one. Hold on! First you need a GoldCard!

You need to flash a original stocked ROM in your fav. langauge by using a GoldCard. How you make a GoldCard you can read HERE (Link)!

After you flashed your device back to an original ROM you can use SSPL again and flash an other ROM on your HD2.

Good luck!
