PocketPC hacking abbreviations

PocketPC hacking abbreviations


I finally found these abbreviations on xda-developers!
Im planning to try flashing some other ROMs to my HTC Kaiser, so I need to understand what the hell all this stuff means.
First Im going to dump my existing ROM so I can get backto the original state if desired.
After that Ill stick the Hard-SPL on my Kaiser. This apparently lets you play around more safely with ROMs. I.e. theres less chance of ending up with a very expensive brick instead of a phone!

Describe Acronyms here.
