Flash HTX touch Cruise. How to do?

Hello to all, excuse me if this question have been posted before, but I havent see it.

I've tryed to flash the HTC touch crusie using Hard SPL V2, but it does not work with my Polaris. It gives an error saying that communication with the device is not possible (even if I have just synchronice before launching the "RomUpdateUtility"

Is there a newer version compatible with HTC Polaris/Cruise?

The boot loader version of my HTC is

POLA 100

SPL-3.13-0000

CPLD-2

Than you in advance

Thanks a lot,

even the original developed ruu's from htc are working fine.

Even if I can, everybodyelse will be able to finish successful.

Great work!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dennisclt:
I've just downloaded de Hard SPL V2, but no go...

When I start the utility I get two questions on the cruise to run software. I answer both with Yes and after the second question, the device just does a soft reset. Nothing more.

What can it be?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nicandris:
do you replug the usb cable when asked?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dennisclt:
I don't even get to that. It just does a soft reset like it would when you would press the reset button.

But I think I know where I went wrong... This is a T4242, TCII so I'm just totally going the wrong way I guess.

Hi Olipro,

have an O2 XDA Orbit II (Pola200). Can I use this HSPL V2 with it? Don't need unlock, just would like to have generic HTC ROM or cooked, that O2 branding is madness...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chris10230:
Yeh you can use it be able to flash the cooked roms onto it. The unlocker is just for sim unlocks I believe...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] leon27uk:
Hi Guys, I need some help... I am very very new to this and have been looking everywhere for guides on how to use roms. Tried & Failed and now have to look like a complete plank and ask you guys for help... As far as i'm aware you have to have Hard-SPL on the device first and after that it's over my head.

I Have a O2 XDA Orbit 2 - WM 6.1

My PC Is running Vista Ultimate.

Just a quick question Could i use the new WM 6.5 rom On my mobile? Or Google Android?

I used Hard-SPL V2 On my Orbit... I Formatted my MSD Card in fat32 then place the Hard-SPL V2 on it. Loaded the software up whilst connect to my pc via USB through WMDC.

It Just freezes at the part where it askes you to re-plug USB... I un-plug and the device disconnects from the pc and re-plug but then nothing happens doesn't even re-connect to the WMDC. (Confused.com :eek: )

No doubt i'm doing something stupid and i apologise in advance :rolleyes:

Thanks,

Leon.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chris10230:
From the first page...

Also you do not need to put hard spl on your memory card have you read this yet may help solve a few issues...

Once you flashed press down on the camera button and reset. The boot loader should say 2.20.Oilnex. Then your done go pick a rom
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] leon27uk:
Well Done Chris, Easy when you know how :D

Keep up the good work...

Thanks,

HELP!!

How do i run the bootloader!?!?! For some reason everytime i try to run the .exe it always crashes. What am I doing wrong?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] harrybarracuda:
Unable to run HardSPL

Hi folks,

I've followed all the instructions and when I run RomUpdateUtility.exe it all looks good. The phone prompts me to install EnterBootloader and I answer yes. Then it prompts me for JumpSpl but then nothing. The program times out and then the phone is locked up, and I have to take the battery out and restart, at which point it starts normally.

I can repeat this ad finitum, it's not bricking the phone or anything.

Anyone have an ideas?

Cheers,

Harry

Hello people.

I would like to know if it is recommended to flash hard-spl-v2 also before of an offical ROM update.

Furthermore, is the SPL restorable to its original in case of repair ?

Hello

I have problem with my HTC Cruise i can't run HARD SPL because i can't connect my HTC with activesync. My HTC Hangs on boot.

I need to flash a new rom, will it work RUU POLARIS HTC WWE 1.25.405.1 without HARD SPL?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] l3v5y:
Stock ROMs can usually be flashed without Hard SPL. Put your device in bootloader, and then run the RUU on your desktop.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Shoaib.Khan:
you are really life saver :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kmy:
Hi!

I have a problem entering into bootloader mode :confused:

I have installed RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship

and then the HardSPL v2

When i try holding camera button + soft reset the polaris just soft resets, but it doesn't switch to bootloader mode

Then I've installed the attached cab ant after executing it I can enter into bootloader and it says SPL-2.20.OliNex so I'm sure that I have the SPL v2 installed but the Camera+SoftReset doesn't work

What can I do?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] fredmatias:
Hi,

My name is Freddy, and I've just made my debut :) on flashing my Touch Cruise yesterday night. (My past experience was flashing a MIO A701).

I would however like (if you know) someone to clarify me:

I tried to make an easy flash on Android (thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=921053 - post # 2 NAND)

But although I made all steps, when I enter the SPL (Camera+soft reset) with all files in my SD (formatted and with correct files and folders), it doesnt load from the SD, it only shows below the message serial (or usb if i connect to PC). In the images of the above thread I see that is version 2.08 but the spl version here is 2.20. Will this version be uncompatible?! Where can I find the 2.08?

Thanks in advance

Regards

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Pawel062:
dont worry once i have my device ill get the ball rolling with the custom rom department. oli is at the moment working on the replugging cable problem. if he wouldnt fix it at a certain point u would have to unplug and replug usb.

we are fixing this to make the hardspl and unlocker more noob friendly and less risks of bricks. last i heard oli just needed to test the new methods and package them up nicely for everyone. ill be pushing with cmonex for a weekend release.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olipro:

Many thanks! But I dont know what to do with it :D I mean, this should enable me, like many others to flash an English rom to get rid of the German, BUT I dont find any dumped english rom (not talking about customized ROM, just something straight out of a device). The only use of SPL will be if I can flash another, say English rom, right? or am I as lost as many others :o

Can some expert (hacker ;)) point this brave soldier to the right direction! Thanks in advance!

Another question: how can one say SPL is working? do you burn a different ROM to verify this?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] tamAyT:
I based that on the conclusion my device is still working...but you have a point yes: in that way I cannot say it worked.

update 1:

checking the bootloader it states this:

POLA100 MFG

SPL-2.20.Olipro

CPLD-2

Although it seems to be unlocked, I still get message from pdocread -l that it maybe still is application locked (and thus cannot read the rom)

update 2:

Using Hard-SPLv2, I only get the ROM version in Device Information whereas with Hard-SPLv1 I get all information as normal.

To make the Hard Spl which exe file from the zip one should I excute?

is it ROMUpdateUtility.exe? then what about the other files?

how did I use the RUU_Signed.nbh (101Mo) to make my HTC flashed with the original french rom unstead of the SFR one.

WWE Rom for Simlock free Dutch Touch Cruise

Hi all, I got my new Cruise yesterday in Holland where I work (I'm a Brit).

I can't read Dutch and now badly need to flash to an Englosh ROM.

Wher can I find a standard WWE ROM??

Been looking for hours but cannot find one. Would a Touch Dual ROM work? If so as the phone is unlocked as standard do I still need to Hard SPL?

Please reply with some advice as I cant use the phone with all these Dutch words..........

Cheers

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Olioaglio:
Have you closed/disabled all running firewall and/or virus tasks?

Close as many running apps on PC as possible before flashing HardSPL

to prevent communication problems.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] drpiety:
yeah i lowered the shields but still the update process starts, activesync is closed but nothing happens 0% stays until the error pops up Error [260] connection. The colored screen shows USB as connection type.

How do you update from microsd? Read that was possible?

EDIT I made it, just left the orbit2 on the colorscreen and started the process again, worked fine then. Thanks for helping Olio , as ususal ;)

It did not take 10 minutes however maybe one minute, can that be?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
I doubt U can update from microSD, but try to extract HARDSPL to folder directly to root( ie all files will be in C:\HardSPL) and run it from there - i know that some people had troubles -nothing happened or error- when running POF's Artemis USPL from c:\ Docs & Sett\User\Desktop........

After doing the hard SPL how do you know it succeded and that everything is OK?

Hi there,

As you can see here, many people have succeeded with Olipro Hard Spl and have succeeded to flash their device with a new ROM but, unfortunately no one have a few minutes to give us a step by step way to proceed.

we are just a poor novice waiting for kind people to help us.

Many thanks.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] reyjabs:
Cool man. Everybody is busy playing with their new found freedom.

Okey here's what I know.

1. Download the file.

2. Unzip the file.

3. To be safe, Hard Reset your device(Optional)

4. Take out the MicroSD from your device.

5. Established an Active Sync Connectiion.

6. Double click on the RUUupdateUtility and follow instruction.

7. Check your device, if it say's REPLUG YOUR DEVICE USB CONNECTON, then pull out the USB connection and reconnect.

8. You're done.

9. I could'nt be more detailed then the above.

10. If you're happy then show Olipro your gratification.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Deder5:
Thanks a lot reyjabs for the detailed step and also for your other useful answer ;-) and many thanks too to Olipro for his good working.

reyjabs, I've one more question if you're not so busy:

In the zip file, there are some other exe files such as ROMUpdateUtility.exe did you know what are these for?

Thanks again for your answer.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
ROMUpdateUtility is flasher itself, enterbootloader restarts PDA in btloader mode....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Deder5:
Thank you phsnake ;-)

So, to sum up, the files to use are:

1) RUUupdateUtility.exe --> for Hard Spl

2) RUU_Signed.nbh + ROMUpdateUtility.exe --> to flash ROM
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] phsnake:
RUUupdateUtil=RomUpdateUtility what part of Device U flash depends on xxxx.nbh (its default format consists from IPL+SPL+ROM+RADIO+bootsplash+ExtROM - maybe smth else- so what u flash its up to ROMBuilder if he puts in nbf ROM+Radio+bootsplah or only ROM, or only SPL..... or combination)

PS: not all of above parts belong to Polaris - ie we dont have ExtRom, for Wizard there is some G4 and G3 part (2 different kinds of wizard)...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Deder5:
great!

thanks again phsnake for your explanation.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] reyjabs:
Those files are needed by ROMUpdateUtility to run the upgrade of your ROM. You don't need to do anything on those files (Unless you know what you're doing). You only have to double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
