I have developed an issue with my ameo so it is going back for a warranty repair, anyway I flashed the official T-mobile 6 rom and that was fine but I still have OLIpro's Hard SPL, I have tried searching for how to downgrade, but all I found was mr Vanx's hermes guide.
bumpity bump
Over 120 views and not an answer, I have been searching hard, apparently I need an SSPL which will allow me to downgrade to any SPL that I want, the problem is I need the correct files for my device, and I am unable to yield results from the search.
Any help much appreciated, even if your just looking here to see how to do it for yourself, then say so! if enough people want to know how to do it, then the info might turn up somewhere.

What is wrong with your ameo?
Because in my experience you can just downgrade and t-mobile won't even look @ the SPL....
I sent my Vario and Vario II twice without downgrading my SPL....
not alot just a couple of niggling issues which I can get sorted under warranty,
TBH this is useful info though, we all should know how to downgrade !

Okay, you've suffered long enough...
Post #8 in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
tells you how to do it...
so what your saying is that hard SPL does not exist for the athena, and that I would need to do it manually (no thanks) I guess I will take my chances with t-mobile !
if i remember correctly the unlock will load a sspl before the hardspl. find at what point its loaded and at that point flash a nbh with the stock nbh and u'll be able to send the device in for warrenty.

please please elaborate, do you mean the same olipro unlocker that I used to unlock it, so if I understand you your saying I should halt the unlock process at some point, and then switch the nbh for a standard one (ie the original tmobile wm 5 ) which will flash on the SPL for me, this method (if im right is similar to the hard spl method)
i would have to get oli to explain this exactly. i'll have him post here once he is around.

thanks alot.
hi
i made the same expirience like hellejoep, i twice returned my (unlocked) ameo and the service seems not to care about it, i think there first job is to 'delete' everything and reset to factory settings before the try to fix any isue's. but anyhow it was good to know how to downgrade or at least let the bootscreen appear as the original one.
mad
I agree, would it be possible for OLI to do an SPL, that looked standard

u could have the info in bootloader read the old numbers but if they were to go into mtty they could still find out if the spl has been modded or not.

LOL - Oli's probably a very busy guy, ya think? I'm just happy he's doing the new AP unlocker (from what Pawel has posted, that is)... Oli, do you have a donation link?
On another note, has anyone actually been denied warranty service b/c of SPL version? I'm thinking about sending my 7501 in for a new housing and a minor touchscreen repair.

olipro though is right. its kind of a worthless thing to do. eather its stock or a full hardspl. if he did one that looked stock then htc still would look for patches and could tell if it has been modified or not. no sense. lets hope he comes bac and gives u all the guide to downgrade the spl to a stock one.

Alright folks, Touch Diamond 2 SIM Unlocker (also for AT&T Pure) sorted:
1) contributing forum members & Elite Team donators... Request a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - CONSISTENT AND REGULAR POSTING), then just drop me a message and it's yours, if you don't meet both a) and b) then don't bother - having an account that you rarely posted from is NOT in the least bit interesting.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/sod all posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]
for those who don't know:
Security Unlock lets you flash radios from other devices... technically speaking you can flash any radio, the Diamond, Raphael, Blackstone and Kovsky radios are NOT compatible, they will kill your device and cause biblical plagues - Rhodium will work fine though.
CID unlock is largely redundant, however, it's quite useful if you like to keep your device on a stock SPL as it means you can flash any official ROM regardless of which brand it's intended for without changing SPL.

Hi,
Does this mean that if I unlocked using the CID unlocker tool, I would be able to flash from a T-Mobile ROM to the stock HTC one?
I am having problems validating hardspl due to internet connection problems so this may be an alternate solution.
Sorry if this is a silly question.

Please be advised that the Unlocker also uses a validator.

Thanks for the info
the unlocker comes with Hard-SPL bundled into it, but it'll only Hard-SPL a device that's paid for.

Correct, the unlock will remain. The Radio this program flashes is a temporary one for unlocking purposes only, so you change radio at the end of it .

Question Mr Oli or cmonex:

They're different. This is low level stuff we're hacking here... . Using the wrong SPL with either: 1. not work, or 2. brick the device (go find the guy who put a TP 1 CDMA SPL on his GSM TP2).
Dave
Oh.. Ok. Right answer!
btw. Flashing CDMA SPL in GSM thing surely will brick, what a stupid action!

It's forever, changing the SPL, ROM or radio will not remove it.

with the exception of Security lock, that can be reversed, but the SIM lock has no effect on warranty

just to be 100% precise, we all know that of course sim lock can be put back too, but it is really pointless

is there any tool to dump my HD2 stock ROM?
i don't want to change my ROM since i'm really satisfied with it, i only want to flash a newer radio (2.1 or up) in order to try to run the new android ports.
but i need it dumped in order to revert everything back the way it was if (for any reason) i had to send the phone to repair

you can just hard reset the phone if all goes bad with the android builds, shouldnt though seem to be ok, just glitchy and not very smooth,
as demon said, running android has no effect on the installed rom, you dont 'flash' android, it runs kind of like an app on top of windows, it dopesnt replace anything
yea i know how the android procedure goes, but i was talking about reverting to the old radio/SPL versions...any solutions?
when you wanna revert,
flash your original radio then run hspl2 and choose your original stock spl. that's it.

As said above, all you do is download the stock ROM and flash it , after removing HSPL, you don't need to "Backup" your stock ROM, all you need to do is either download it from one of the ROM threads here or from TMO ....
so...i can downgrade the radio without problems? then run HSPL2 to revert to the original SPL...many thanks!
so what about the ROM itself; even if i find and download it, how can revert to the original date? (settings tab/about phone/software information/ROM date) or what is that date?
another noob question what is TMO?

dont forget the hspl version is excatly the same in 2 and 3, only the installer is different, AND for non tmous users to switch back and forth between hspl and stock spl, we need hspl2 anyway because hspl3 only has stock 2.08.0000 and none of our phones used that as stock.
hspl3 was only released because tmous users couldn't be trusted to not brick themselves, and telstra users couldnt use hspl2.
This is not a 'highest version is best' situation.

Yes that is true, all good points that I had not considered ...
I haven't been able to find that anywhere???
Hardspl and Hardspl2 only works for SPL version 2.xxx??
not yet, not sure if anyone is working on it.
You either have to use the goldcard method or you have to flash as prev. stock ROM via sd card to revert hspl, then unlock.

As there is quite a simple and easy-to-do workaround, maybe there won´t be a new HSPL for the time being.
The makers of HSPL are quite busy porting other stuff to our great device. I am really glad and thankful for what they do, their massive efforts made Android and WP7, even with NAND, possible for us.
But who knows, time will show...

You can use SSPL_RUU.exe
I want to use Artemis fully and note that it requires spl 3.03 which comes with stock rom 3.14.
Problem is that that has not been released for my phone (T-Mob UK).
I can use HSPL to load 3.14 and then remove HSPL - but I got back to SPL 1.66 and not 3.03.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

The instructions for installing are within the discussion on Artemis ROM, I followed the exact same method today, now have SPL 3.03 and fully functioning Artemis. All I will say is read, read and read before doing any of it, once it makes sense in your head it actually isn't that difficult

I believe I did everything required in Artemis. My problem I believe is that there is no "official" 3.14 rom for my phone (T-Mobile UK) hence why I can't get Spl 3.03 on there.
I may ask some kind person to generate me a gold image for my phone...
But if you know how to get 3.14 on with spl 3.03 that would be great.
Thanks
