[HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

well, well, quick release post!

Download is here: http://whitestone.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php

I'll get to posting SPL Relocker soon, until then if you are sure you are going to return your phone anyway, I recommend you just return it and don't flash


ENJOY! ALSO:

Donations are always appreciated, the Hard-SPL program will provide you with a link at the end of the process to make it easier. any little helps!!! Thank you!!

This is not a thread for Energy ROM. If you go to Imagio Upgrades, the same place you see the HSPL, you will see his ROMS thread.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

I know, was just trying to get help for myself and others with what specific file to click on after you unzip it to run the new ROM.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

where did all the posts go? so this had to drop when i'm out of town. lol. thank you anyway cmonex! this is absolutely great news :)

now... is there ANY way to flash hspl with only the phones internet connection? i have my laptop and can tether but that is it :( i know there were tons of questions about this in the tp2 forum but i never saw a resolution.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

New to the whole ROM thing. Do I run THIS unlocker first (and I read I only need it once) or do the custom ROM's have the unlocker built in and I just download and run the new ROM?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

i believe the answer was posted here but for some reason they are gone.
you have to unlock before you can flash a custom rom. you will stay unlocked until you decide to relock using the relocker.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

I'm having a hard time with the unlocker. I disable my AV, unzip it, and try to run it from windows but it keeps crashing - "WhitestoneW-HardSPL_V1_99R1.exe has stopped working" . . .

Anyone else dealing with this and figure out how to get it to run on Vista? I've tried running it as an admin, different compatibility modes, etc.

Please help!

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

I found your problem.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Instructions say it'll run on vista - it's suppost to auto prompt you to run as an admin. What am I missing?

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Can't you just D/L the hspl file, extract and run it? Once it's on your pc/laptop desktop you sync via usb and should be good to go. I tether and have D/l'd the hspl file program to my laptop. I did it this way with my tp2 and it worked fine. I have not tried to install it yet on my imagio tho.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Yes , just extract and run it , takes about 30 seconds.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

ok some clarification please...

The unlocker file, unlockes the imagio so it will allow the updating of the custom roms.

The rom is somewhat like saying its the same thing as the 3.04 release from verizon?? but a custom one obviously makes it look and work differently correct? obviously with tweaks.....

Once a new rom is updated do we still use manila 2.5 or is the point of the rom to replace the manila upgrades over the verizon software rom, to make it run natively and obviously faster since now we can run it on the subsystem?

sorta newbie looking for some clarification, hope you can help me and the rest of the peeps out there trying to grasp an understanding how what this means.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Okay, So I'm a bit of a jackass. My problem was a Vista Data Execution Prevention (DEP) error that was preventing the unlocker from executing. I added it to my DEP exception list and it worked like a charm.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

You're on the right track.

A ROM (read only memory) is the image that stays on the device memory and will load if you do a hard reset. The device is released to the public with access to the ROM locked. Now that it's unlocked, people ("chefs") can create ("cook") a custom ROM for the device (in what they call a "kitchen", or development platform). The custom ROMs can include whatever the chef wants so some will have Sense 2.1, others Sense 2.5, etc. I just downloaded the NRGZ28 Sense 2.5 ROM with the Co0kie Home Tab mod built it. It also has a ton of other stuff already included.

Once loaded on the device you can make customizations to the ROM. If you were to hard reset you would start back at the original version of the ROM. Now that the device is unlocked you're free to flash as many ROMs as you'd like, including the VZW 3.04 one if you want to return your phone to "stock" or take it in for a warranty issue. It's by far the coolest thing I've experienced with his phone so far.

Thank you cmonex and the rest of the team. What a wonderful gift you've given us. Donation on the way!

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Thanks for the unlocker, it was well worth the wait. I just flashed with the energy ROM and the process was alot smoother and easier than when I did it on my Vogue. Thanks a million!

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

no, you need to be connected to the internet while flashing as far as I know.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Worked great. Thank you very much!!

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

So according to the instructions you need to be connected to the internet to get the update to work. I am runnin windows 7 and i rely on my phone tether to do anything online, soooo i decided what the heck, i imagined the program would check online while connected before actually writing stuff to the phone and rebooting it or interrupting my connection. I started up my wifi sharing and ran the tether. Hooked up via USB and let the program work its magic.. Viola!! HSPL unlocked. SO it seems to work fine doin it that way.. your mileage may vary. THANK YOU Cmonex and the elite team.. As soon as my financial manager(Wife) gives me the green light I will shoot some money your way.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

which wifi program are you using?
i can't seem to sync while tethered

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

the one called assasins lament. I had trouble getting it to tether(via wifi) while connected via the USB cable(to the WMDC) So i unplugged it and got the tether going first, then i plugged in the USB and sync'd up no problem. Ran the unlocker and BAM!! done!

i think the one i had was slot 7 but i did not even do all the other stuff to get it to show on the commmanager, I just would run the program like normal.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Very very smooth. Thank you. On my next payday I'll send a follow up to my "good faith" contribution of a couple of months ago. I can't wait to start learning how to cook now.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

this saved me... thanks!! works great. i did not think it would be possible.

i was then able to download and flash my imagios first custom going 80mph in the middle of nowhere :) gotta love technology.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Thanks.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

I've tried to extract this file on two different computers. One XP and the other windows seven. But on both a virus is found and the file is deleted any suggestions? anyone else having the problem?

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

first off, read the rest of the threads here, second, disable your anti-virus.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Downloaded, installed, and donated.......hitting the thanks button, too!

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

the second i hit, auto, it crashes. tried the manual way, i get error code 264

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Did you make sure to turn off any firewall you might have on? I ran into this problem when I was flashing the hspl on demo phones at work, lol.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

i thought i had, maybe i missed one setting? thanks dude i will give it a try.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

no good, and when i try the manual way my phone never goes black, just freezes, then i get a connection error on the PC either code 202 or 264

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Has the relocker been taken down? Of course when I unlock and put a custom rom on two buttons are now stuck...........

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

cmonex stated in her first post that she'll post the Relocker soon ;-)

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

HA! got it done, the original file i downloaded must have been corrupted? i thought i was going crazy...

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

Hmm link does not appear to be working for me right now.

Re: [HSPL] Imagio / WhiteStone Hard-SPL
 

So you use this to unlock your phone and it is unlocked for good. Out of curiosity and this being the first phone that I have ever done anything to this extent, what is the point of re-locking it? As well as can you unlock it after re-locking it?
