How To: Install the Hard SPL
Featured
Updated Feb 4, 2010 by Jon.Pezz...@gmail.com

=================================================================================

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK / RUIN YOUR PHONE IN ANY WAY.
BASIC COMPUTER SKILLS REQUIRED
IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT ROOT IS ... YOU PROBABLY DON'T NEED IT
=================================================================================

PROCEED WITH CAUTION

Installation of the Hard SPL

This will allow you to apply flash images from other regions (like UK on US phones, and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, and usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked".

Location of the Hard SPL: http://android-roms.googlecode.com/files/splhard1_update_signed.zip

1 Power off your phone.
2 Press and hold Home and then press Power to boot up into recovery mode.
3 You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.
4 If you do not see a menu / text on screen, press ALT+L to show the menu.
5 Press ALT+S to apply the update from the SD card.
6 After the update is complete, hold Home + Back to restart.

- You've now applied the Hard SPL to your phone -

Next we will install the latest Custom ROM.

To Continue on please go to Installing the Latest Custom ROM

I followed all the steps and tried everything I could think of but when it comes to installing the "Hard SPL" it will not take the update because it says that the files do not exsist in my sdcard directory. Any suggestions?

Rename the update file "update" instead of "update.zip"

(from the Cyanogenmod forums)

i did whatever written but my phone is bricked now coz this instruction is at wrong place it must be after the rom update

Comment by drewl...@gmail.com, Dec 29, 2009

No gemerekli you have to update the SPL before flashing the rom.

hey all what up, i followed every step and im rooted and ready, all went well....perfect

Comment by Jack.4.Z...@gmail.com, Jan 15, 2010

Where's the code for HardSPL? I've been able to find code for just about everything else including the Engineering SPL, but the HardSPL source is suspiciously absent. Don't think I'll install something that has bricked so many phones without checking it out first...and thanks for the great info!

Did this on a rooted Mytouch that was running CM. Phone now makes a nice (if light) doorstop <grumble>.

Good luck with this on the Mytouch.

Hey @Jack.4.Zero, where did you found the SPL sources?

Comment by nikhil.b...@gmail.com, Mar 20, 2010

i got a spanish G1 and i am not bring able to install the hard spl. it isn't rooted.

Comment by cgamesp...@cgamesplay.com, Apr 19, 2010

Also bricked my MyTouch? 3G. MT3G/Magic users DO NOT HAVE Hard/Danger/Death/Haykuro or any other 'special' SPL, and the 4 mentioned are strictly for Dreams. IF YOU FLASH ONE OF THOSE TO YOUR PHONE YOU WILL BRICK.

okay everytime i try to install the update.zip (the Hardspl) it says no signature (5 files) nerification failed installaion aborted, ne1 know what to do?

Comment by t2callin...@gmail.com, Jun 24, 2010

Same problem as AmanSurti?: "no signature (5 files) verification failed..." etc.

Have a heart and help a newbie, lads!

Comment by t2callin...@gmail.com, Jun 24, 2010

Technical persons of the female persuasion, kindly take note: No gender-specific reference intended in the "Have a heart..." sentence. I had previously modded my Das Keyboard firmware to elide all instances of two consecutive particular vowels, and I don't mean 'a', 'o', or 'u'. Something about an unspeakably insecure browser from some far-off evil empire of slothware that shall not be named.

I really trd to type the plural of lady, but the same thing happened to it that happened to the past participle of 'try'.

Honestly. Ya gotta belve me. My frnds do.

Comment by pavan0...@gmail.com, Aug 9, 2010

Same issue E: No signature(5 files) E: verification failed. This is the error while i am installing original G1 spl. Any help would be highly appreciable..

Comment by taku...@gmail.com, Apr 27, 2011

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but will this SPL work on any phone?
