Re: Couple of Newbie Questions
I'm probably only a couple days less newb-ish than yourself, but here's my two cents. (If I'm wrong about anything, I bet it will trigger a lot more responses than your original question did. So, you win either way!
1) I read the entire (current) Juicy ROM thread, and the entire flashing thread, but off the top of my head I couldn't tell you what SSPL and HardSPL mean. This shocking lack of knowlege did not seem to impede me when I flashed my ROM and "radio". 2) There are some recovery techniques, but I'm guessing that if you manage to brick your phone to the point where it will not turn on, or make it into bootloader mode, then you are probably up a creek. My advice would be to not brick your phone. 3) I didn't have to re-configure a gosh blamed thing after flashing both the OS and radio. Hard resets can wipe out things you did to the phone after you took possession of it, but the lower level carrier configuration seemed unaffected. I'm on Sprint. I flashed Juicy 4.4 and the Telus radio. |

Re: Couple of Newbie Questions
SSPL: Soft SPL. Used as a temporary SPL in order to write to an HSPL.
HSPL: Hard SPL. A permanent SPL that 'unlocks' a phone, allowing custom ROMs to be flashed. Once you're past unlocking, you don't have much of a chance in bricking. The only way you could, is if you flash a new Radio. Flashing any of the ROMs we have here, there isn't much chance, because they're all only an XIP/OS ROM. That doesn't mean anything to you, but it's easily fixable if your phone doesn't turn on. You shouldn't have to configure anything. Last edited by tobeychris; 01-02-2009 at 07:02 PM. |
