Spartan Thanks for the assistance.

After loading the SSPL i could flash the 1.56 Olinex .

And after that everything went smoothly ( Miri Rom - Miri_WM65_23017_Premium_Manila_2.5_REV7.1).

Thanks again, now need to play a little with this and see if there any additional issues.

I've been trying to downgrade to the stock ROM and SPL for warranty purposes but now get an error after installing stock SPL 1.14

"Upgrade ROM code error, please try again"

Problem is the phone does not recognise the USB cable so can only do the downgrade via the SD Card. I seem to be stuck on this error with no way of gettign the correct SPL back on

please help!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
No need to panic. Just flash your stock rom, i.e. rom which was originally on your device when you bought it. Bottom of bootloader does not need to say 'usb' when doing this (only works on original stock rom).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] t08jfl1:
mm problem is the phone is 2nd hand so not sure what the original ROM was. It is Orange branded and have just tried what i looks to be the orange version ie

RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14

the bootloader says 1.14 so assume the ROM above is wrong still
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
What is your full SPL in bootloader?

Don't forget your SPL is different from what rom you have. At bottom of Splash screen it should tell you what base your rom is on. Also, go to Start > settings > system > device information and this should also tell you what rom is installed on device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] t08jfl1:
FULL SPL is:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.000

Was running hardspl which i used to upgrade to latest official ROM:

_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship

But i now realise i downgraded to the totally wrong version of stock spl ie 1.14 instead of 1.56.

It now wont book up beyond the bootloader page, it does come back with an error "00028002 not allow"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] t08jfl1:

First Flash

Hi, I want to flash new rom to my HTC Touch HD, but it will first time for me.

I checked my HTC and I have SPL-1.54.0000, can I use 1.56 OliNex for unlock my phone, or some other version ?

After this unlock i want to install win 6.5 Energy ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes you can use 1.56.Olinex if you want to go the hspl route. You also have the option of going the uspl route. Read the Dummies Guide to flashing (lik in my signature) for a description of the 2 as well as step by step guidance on how to flash.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hatrixx:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to install 1.56 Olinex but obviously I'm doing something wrong. I run the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex and everything is running fine. I can do the install without error. The application says that the whole process will take about 10 minutes and I must say it takes about 1 minute with my device (bit odd no?).

When I enter bootloader after install, no changes appeared to that screen, 1.07 Olinex is still the message I'm getting.

What am I doing wrong??

I don't know if this makes a difference but I tried the install once without a rom on my storage card and once with one on it. Resulted in the same (which is nothing).

I tried to install duttys hd wm 6.5 (which worked i think) so my device information is the following:

Duttys HD WM6.5 R6 turbo WWE

radio 1.14.25.24

Protocol 52.64.25.34h

Why don't I get 1.56 Olinex on the bootloader screen? What are the consequences of this, because obviously i can install a 6.5 rom so whats the difference?

Thanks everyone!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
To have gotten 1.07, I presume you must have used the manual sspl? After installing this, did you first ensure that usb was showing on the screen before running hspl? I believe the message of 10 minutes is the standard comment included in the RUU wrapper (mainly meant for roms which do take 10 minutes) so yes, flashing hspl is a lot quicker than that. ;)

Did you get any error message during the flash to hspl?

Yuo say you have installed Dutty R6 and still have the 1.07 spl. What do the screen colours look like on this rom, because with that spl the colours should be like a low res greeny/bluey colour. You do need 1.56.Olinex (or uspl) in order to properly flash any 1.56+ rom (such as the one you have).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What rom are you trying to install? If you have poor colours it is likely that 1.56.Olinex is the wrong spl for your rom. Are you perhaps trying to flash a stock rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SADOON:
the rom is official i just updat the spl on my phone and now i will upgrade it to wm6.5 miri i think miri is the best ?

or if u have a good rom tell me to download it

but how can i get arabic writing and start menu
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
miri & Dutty cook the best wm6.5 ROMs so far..

To get Arabic writing & reading, you'll need an Arabization software.. I always use the one attached & had no problems ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That is why you are getting the wrong colours. The spl needs to match the rom otherwise there are problems. A 1.14 based rom needs a different spl than a 1,56+ rom.

There are many good chefs here that do amazing work. miri is one, Dutty (on HTCpeadia) and PhamQuang from PDAViet are some of the better ones that I've tried. Roms are personal and what one person likes will not always be what another person wants, so the best is to read up in a few of the threads to see what other users are experiencing and then try a few yourself until you find one that suits your needs.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hatrixx:
I must say that colours look perfectly normal. When I try to run the 1.56 update on my notebook with vista I have the well known 'connection error'. When I try to update with my notebook with windows xp (which I did), I'm not getting errors on the install, yet no good results neither. I'm trying to find out what goes wrong in this case but I must say that I don't have any clue. Any more ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You will need to provide me some details on the problem. Do you get any error codes at all. You say you got the wel known 'connection error' (code 262 probably). This will often require you to run the manual sspl, which I presume you ran to get the 1.07 spl, but what happens when you try to run the 1.56 RUU? Any error messages or codes?

What spl shows when in bootloader, is it still 1.07? You need to switch to bootloader and then plug in your usb and when the bottom section of the screen changes from serial to usb, run the HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again. You need to keep trying this until the spl in bootloader shows 1.56.Olinex.

Help!!!

Hi,

i am new to this board and not too experienced.

I have a Touch Hd "Blackstone" and am experiencing the following problem:

I updated SPL to 1.56 Olinex and installed L26 ROM, now Iwant to revert to original SPL. So first reiflashed stock HTC French ROM, Radio ROM was never changed. Next I wanted to restore stock SPL, so I followed the procedure on page 1 of this thread. I Downloaded "Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex" and "Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2", extracted "Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex", opened HardSPL.exe and copied the 1.14.NBH file into the extracted folder once HardSPL.exe was fully launched. All was normal, but now colors are very funny o startup, but the greatest problem is the fact that my touchscreen doesn't respond to any presses at all, so no way to use the PDA and now the Blackstone isn't able to connect to ActiveSync. Hard Reset via Power + Volume UP + Volume DOWN Button doesn't change anything. In Bootloader mode SPL version says 1.14.00000. I tried flashing other SPL, but connection always fails (even when in bootloader), so I am really really stuck :( What should I do?

Thanks in advance for any answers!!

Greetz, Grobianus

EDIT: I solved the problem, I went into Bootloader, connected to pc and just reflashed stock HTC ROM, now Bootloader says SPL 1.54.0000, I don't know why, but everything seems just fine now :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
That's because you needed to restore your HTC SPL to 1.54.0000 and not 1.14.0000. The stock French ROM you flashed is a newer release and has SPL 1.54.0000 in it.

run HSPLwrapper_blackstone_156olinex...talks ok to touch...starts to flash....pda DOESN'T go to bootloader then pc says error 202 connection...pda is not connected.

so transfer sspl-manual.exe to touch...run and i get tricolour screen saying

1.07 OLINEX XA..............all seems ok (nothing in white band usb/serial??)

so re-run HSPLwrapper_blackstone_156olinex

and this time get error 260 connection....pda not connected.

am at a loss as to what to do next as have followed instructions from post 1 to the letter

rom 1.56.405.1 (wm6.1) (proper htc upgrade)

radio 1.13.25.24

any advise gratefully received
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when the RUU cannot make a connection to the device right before flashing. This typically happens when you try to flash a new SPL to your device. Use Soft-SPL before attempting the RUU again.

As you have already used SSPL, try resetting device, disconnecting and reconnecting device with pc before trying ruu again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scottydog90:
thanks for getting back to me fallen sparten.

i'm still getting nowhere fast...have tried second part of your suggestion to re-boot reconnect etc..no joy.

i presume by soft-upl you mean uspl??

again no joy with this as i've been a good boy and searched forum for a tutorial and have downloaded htc sync drivers, uspl gui etc and following the tutorial at step 5 it tells me to go into device manager and locate windows ce usb devices...i have no such entry!!!

even when touch hd is sync'd via activesync.

it also says put phone into bootloader which i do and it should say usb at the bottom in the white band....IT DOESN'T...even when connected to pc via usb lead.

i assume the order you do things is critical??

should i put into bootloader then connect to pc after disconnecting usb connections in activesync??

if i do this i would expect windows xp to "find new hardware" and then say touch hd then all ready to use. (it did this in the past when i connected a bricked sedna to pc)...again when i do this pc recognises nothing?/

any advise greatfully received...

Ugrade original 1.14 to Windows 6.5

Hi, have read thru the OP and not sure of the correct route as I understand 1.14 is for older ROMs.

Can I upgrade?

If so do I have to load 1.14 olinex first and then straight to the WM6.5 or do I have to go to 1.54 or 1.56 olinex.

Thanks for help

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Read the Dummies Guide. It gives step by step guidance on what you need to do.

Yes you can upgrade to wm6.5 and in order to do so you have 2 options - either uspl (1.54.0000) or hspl (1.56.Olinex). First flash the new spl and then the rom of your choice. There is no need to go to 1.14.Olinex.

Need to install stock spl & rom for warranty

Hi

i need to get back to stock for warranty issues for the first time after being using all sorts of roms. but i can't seem to completely understand the steps given in the first post.

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!

where do i restore stock OS and Radio from?? i know i want to get back to SPL 1.14 and then i'll just download the latest rom from HTC site and get my hardware issue fixed asap so i can get back to the great roms.

Any help on complete and easy step.... PLS. i even tried the search on this thread but didn't get anything that would help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You need to first flash back to your stock rom and radio. If you know which one it is you can find it here.

After flashing back to your stock rom, you then need to revert your spl to 1.14 (if your stock rom requires this). If you go to 1.14 and then flash the latest rom from HTC there will most probably be an incompatibility issue as the latest rom will most probably use 1.54.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vinaymieux:
Thanks for the prompt reply....

i have no idea what is my stock rom or radio. all i remember is that when i had flashed with	Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex my stock SPL was 1.14. now all i need is to get my phone in a state so i can use my warranty. my headphone jack has become faulty, i get voice in only one channel unless i try to bend the wire in a particular position at the jack.

i am from India, if that helps determine what i should use.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Looking at the list of ROMS for Asia and those that look like they will take a 1.14 SPL, my guess would be this one - RUU Blackstone HTC Asia TW 1.14.709.5 Radio 52.57.25.30 1.10.25.25 Ship.exe, although the TW in the rom name could possibly be Taiwan???

Checking on HTC.com for India there is an official ROM ver 1.59.707.0 which can be downloaded from here. This rom would probably require a 1.54.0000 spl. You should be fine with this rom as it is an official rom for India.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vinaymieux:
Ok, so first i flash my phone directly with the above ROM and then flash it with	RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip from the first page; right? and that's it??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you are intending on using the 1.59.707.0 version yes. Install rom and then run the 1.54 spl. After you are finished, do a hard rest and all should be ok.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Follow the steps in the Dummies Guide (link in my signature). Did you just load the HSPL, or did you install a rom as well? What does the spl show as when in bootloader?

As long as you can still get to bootloader screen, you should still be able to fix the problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] beresb:
First, backup then hard reset then hspl. after restart i would like to load the rom but active sync didn't find the device. So i took a hard reset. The problem is in the second photo. touch the screen.... but only the hard buttons works vol up/down power on/off
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The problem is in the first photo. From the first picture it looks like you still have 1.14.Olinex. To flash most of these new 1.56+ based roms you need 1.56.Olinex.

When you are in bootloader mode it is not possible to create an ActiveSync session, but it is not needed, as long as you can get the white section at the bottom of bootloader to display usb then you are ok.

Please try to flash again, but make sure you use 1.56.Olinex (Read the

for all steps)

my problem is similar as above, meaning that I get "green" windows screen and message Tap the screen....but only power button and vol up/down is working.

Screen doesn't react on stylus.

Bootloader is SPL-1.56.Olinex. Till now i tried to do maybe 20 times hard reset. I tried with 5 different ROMs including Mary, PDaviet, Dutty .... The same problem. Then i put back original WWE ROM 6.1 ROM and nothing. I am desparate.

What to do now?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] beresb:
Try to load again the bootloader,

turn off the phone then push and hold!!! vol down then push once the power on/off button when you see the bootloader screen you can release the vol down. pic 1

if you see anything other then spl-1.56olinex: plug the usb cable, then you have to see that the serial text changes to usb then you have to run this "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip (1.12 MB, 17333 views)" from the botton in the first post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

if in the srceen you see spl-1.56olinex then you can load a rom (i used miri's rom: http://htcpedia.com/miri_wm_manila25_v11/soft/htc-blackstone-rom.html, you have to register to download the file and unpack) just run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe if it finished then 2 hard reset and maybe it works, good luck
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] morski:
tnx but i already tried this for a number of times. result the same. buttons not reacting. stylus not reacting. just green screen with a message "Tap ...." :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
When did this start to appear, or what did you before this issue started to materialize? Was it after a flash to new rom?

Your SPL appears to be correct, and flashing of rom appears to be complete. So this could be a hardware issue with your digitizer/defective touch screen. You may only have option of warranty return. Obviously restore stock SPL and rom first!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] morski:
i tried today to connect it with PC and started Remote Alignment which helped me to pass green screen with Tap message. windows installed completely. but still screen and buttons not working. so, definitely digitizer failure.

i got it for christmass, bought in another country. so, no warranty. in my country is only a 1st level of service (software update) but for everything else i have to send it to Italy on 3 weeks. they told that it will cost about 450-500€ to replace complete case + digitizer. that price is nonsense, more then 70% of new phone. so , i am searching now on the ebay to order complete LCD screen+touch screen(digitizer). it can be found for 50-100 €. much cheaper option. only digitizer can be found for 15-18€ but i read that it is extremely difficult to change it without breaking it. better to change LCD with digitizer already "stick" with it.

Flash problem

I am trying to flash my HTC Touch HD. I have used SSPL-Manual-Touch to get the phone into bootloader (as I cannot get it do so using the volume & power buttons), I have the tri-colour screen and "usb" visible (but the usb connection to the PC has dropped out at this stage). I then run HardSPLWrapper-Blackstone and it runs through to the progress bar screen and the phone has the progress bar too. At this point the phone freezes.

I am using Windows 7, with the latest version of .Net framework.

Can anyone help?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Do you get any error message?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] griff849:
No error messages, just the phone freezing at the progress bar and nil activity on the progress bar on the PC.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
When you used the SSPL, did the spl change to 1.07.Olinex. After that did you then run the HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe and can you confirm that your spl in bootloader now shows 1.56.Olinex?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] griff849:
The tri-colour screen shows 1.07.Olinex. On running HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe it runs through all of the screens and verifies the information before asking me whether to update the ROM. At this point the phone changes to a light blue/grey screen with a progress bar at 0% as does the PC. I do not see anything saying 1.56.Olinex.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Is this where it is stuck at 0% - while trying to run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe or are you trying to load the new rom? Give HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe a few more attempts as you need to get the tri-colour screen to show 1.56.Olinex before flashing the rom.
