Flashing Hard SPL on Mac

[ruskiyab]

Can't you do the hard spl from the sd card?

Here, try putting this file in the root directory of your SD card and manually put your phone into bootloader (Power + Volume Down + Reset)

No one deserves to live with a stock rom!

i put that file on the card after it was formated, rebooted and now the screen just says loading and has said it for about 5 minutes... about how long should this take? im not flashing a rom just flashing the Hard SPL... also, can i flash just radios using this method?

my phone is now bricked.... i put that file on the memory card.. plugged it into my vmware and now the phone just boots into bootloader and says upgrade rom code error.... great..

Does the RUU program give you the error?? If so that was what happened with me when trying to run the manual HardSPL off the SD card. If it's stuck in the Tri-Colored screen try resetting the phone with your stylus. Try hard resetting your phone (for some reason the manual method worked for me after that) (Hold power, volume down, center d-pad button, and reset)

Here's what I did:

• Hard Reset Phone

• Download Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.exe and SSPLManual_Raphael.zip

• Transfer Raphael_CDMA... to an empty folder on the desktop of your VM

• Run Raphael_CDMA (but don't use it)

• Now look in the above folder and find RUU_Signed.nbh and move to the root of your SD card

• Use a file utility on your phone to rename RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh

• Put SSPLManual on your SD card and run the program

• It should now flash your SPL

• To test boot into bootloader and it should say 0.37.CMONEX

• Delete RAPHIMG.nbh

• Now to flash a custom ROM download one and find the file RUU_Signed.nbh... move it to the root of the SD card... rename it to RAPHIMG.nbh (using the phone) and enter the bootloader (hold power, volume down, and push the reset button)... it should now flash the ROM

Hope this helps... I know it can be frustrating when you don't want to screw anything up!

thank you veryyyy much... phone is now back in working order and I have successfully flashed the Hard SPL.... now the next part of my problem lol... I tried to flash the Verizon radio and it is giving me Error 244: Invalid Model ID... Ive searched and found that it is a hex edit to solve this but I do not know how to do that to change my model ID... anyone care to help? I dont remember my Kasier being this difficult

i remember reading i could have to format my sd card into FAT32 how do i go about doing that?

Use a card reader and Disk Utility (OS X) or a similar app on your phone... I went through life having never flashed my Mogul because I was confused by the whole thing, but never again!! I love my new TP and the custom (though temperamental!) ROMS!

[Jhernandez860]

Yeah you flash it basically as a rom... and so far I like it sooo much better than sprint. Im located in Orlando FL, and usually in my bedroom I have no bars and if im lucky one. A conversation would last maybe 5-10min before being dropped. Right now after loading VZW radio I have 3-4 bars and just had a conversation for a little over an hour with no drops or loss in quality.

Nice... how does GPS work? I heard there was some issues with the VZW radio? GPS isn't a deal breaker for me, but I do use it occasionally...

[Jhernandez860]

to be honest, I never use to GPS because I have an actual GPS system. But I just tried it and it found my location in under 20 seconds and I am indoors not near any windows, from what I remember that was a lotttt quicker than when I used to use my Kaiser for GPS, this was also just using the stock sprint navigation
