Thanks for the reply themuffinman

ROM... odd name to use, is it by any chance because it resides in the ROM memory of the device and is more like firmware like a BIOS?

Is that why you need a Hard SPL to hack it?

So the ROM can either be official or none official but the Hard SPL is going to have to be made by someone else?

I would assume that HARD SPL's are typically specific to given phones and operating systems too correct?

IE the Hard SPL for a Touch Pro is not the same as a Hard SPL for a Touch Pro 2?

So are these Hard SPL's widely made? Is there any best place to get them?

Are the Hard SPL's used for hacking anything else?

Thanks
