[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Help!

Tried flashing this rom but now my phone doesn't work at all!

I got the tricolour screen, it went to 100% and started to reboot. So far so good. When it came on again, everything has become a sort of blueish/green colour and the it has stoped responding. I've tried restarting, removing the battery and hard resetting. Nothing seems to work. Have I killed my phone?? :(

Read up, various threads (and entries in the wiki) tell you the reason for that behaviour. The updated version of the disptools driver is not compatible with the any SPL version below 1.54.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] panot:
Hi, it is known problem. You can't install the newest 1.56 ROM if you have Hard-SPL installed. I suggest you to restore your stock with SPL 1.15 and then flash the newest Dutch ROM again. You will see difference in colours of your screen. Flash this ROM for example via PC after you extract ruu_signed.nbh from the newest ROM. Just unpack exe file of the newest ROM in WinRar and choose ruu_signed.nbh. Other files you can remove. Go into bootloader mode in your device, connect with your PC and follow flashing procedure of cooked ROM. Put ruu_signed.nbh and BlackstoneRUUWrapper to some folder and run BlackstoneRUUWrapper. The flashing precedure will start.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vidiii:
the problem is my touchsvcreen doesn't work sometimes, i must have luck, but thanks for your information
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Ok. I managed to fix it.

To vidii:

I think we had the same problem. Try turning off your phone (remove to battery if you need to). Press and hold the volume down button then press the power button briefly while keeping the volume down button pressed.

This should bring you to the bootloader screen (the 3 coloured one). Plug you're touch hd into a xp computer (it didn't work on my girlfriends vista) and the white bit should say USB. You should now be able to change ROMs.

What I did was download and run the latest official Touch HD ROM from the HTC website. Works again now :)

is anybody working on a 1.56 or is it 1.54 HardSPL? or do we have to wait for Olipro and Cmonex?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EthanX:
I suggest changing the title to HardSPL for 1.14/1.19 ROMS released, as newcomers and upgraders can no longer use this version of HSPL.

New 1.56 ROM on older SPL

Had a flash day today ;-)

I flashed Dutty's 2.7 XTreme.

Did NOT work well with my OliNex Hard-SPL 1.14.

I then tried with original HTC 1.56.

Same problems.

Then I flashed USPL 2.5.

Afterwards I tried both again: Dutty's 2.7 XTreme and original HTC 1.56.

The issues / problems were all the same:

- color issues with display (in some green/blue, very weird !)

- radio not working

- loading through USB not working

I flashed to Stock SPL 1.15 as recommended by Panot (see above: "I suggest you to restore your stock with SPL 1.15").

Still same color issues etc.

Now, re-flashing Dutty's ROM 2.7 XTreme does no longer start - remaining at 0%.

So I finally tried to flash HTC original 1.56.

When started, it came up with following error message "Invalid vender ID" (yeah, wrong spelling!)

"This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility.

Click EXIT to quit."

Currently, I have Dutty's 2.7 XTreme with Stock SPL 1.15.

Facing the issues as mentioned above: green/blue colored weird display, several radio / ROM issues.

Any good news from someone who tried to get one of the new 1.56 ROMs onto the device and managed to fix these issues?

Step-by-step instructions would be highly appreciated.

Thx a million
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
M_O_N_A_C_O you should really stop to ask in every thread for help about the same issue.

Using a 1.56 Rom isn't a problem at all. You should really read up, various possibilities were given, which describe how to get a 1.56 rom on your device, if you have HSPL installed.

The first thing to do is to reflash a stock SPL, which is described within the this thread (in the beginning). If you have done it correctly, you will have SPL 1.14 or 1.15 on your device.

Now you need to flash the latest official Rom (1.56.401.0), which will also upgrade you SPL to 1.54. From now on you have to use USPL in order to flash a custom rom.

All steps were described a few times already, so just read them.

As you said that it doesn't work for you, I guess you have done something wrong :).

But you should really read and try to understand what you are about to do, because flashing any spl and rom (without thinking about it), will probably harm your device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_O_N_A_C_O:
Dear johnpatcher,

your comment does not help at all.

So if you can't solve the problems, why not stop making these comments.

As to my other posting you mentioned, the description I found did not work for me. As mentioned I needed to change a few things before it finally worked. So fine for that.

Your previous comment on that was already useless and does not show much respect for other users in this community.

And in this thread: No need to comment this way again.

The above problem actually is new.

You are right telling me that I made a mistake (this time) trying to flash a 1.56 ROM on OliNex 1.14 Hard-SPL.

But this does not solve anything.

Maybe someone else is more helpful and respectful.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
I think its typical german to cry, as soon as the answer doesn't fit your expectations :(.

I haven't insulted you in any way, nor have I've been disrespectful, so don't start to cry!

I have the impression that you actually don't know what you do, as you flash spls and roms and claim that it doesn't work. So the first thing to start with is to read the wiki, and to make sure you understand what you are doing. You need to know what the spl is, as well as what a rom is. You also need to know what HSPL (or USPL) are doing.

If you know enough about these things, it is neccessary to check what your device is actually running. I don't know what spl your device is running right now, so I (we) don't know what you have to do next. So check what spl (and rom) you are running right now, afterwards it should be quite clear what to do next.

As you have mentioned to be encountered with the green screen, you should know that the green screen does only appear if you try to boot up rom based on 1.56.401.0 (or at least the drivers of this rom), with an "old" spl.

After clearing these things up, it should be just clear what to do. Any instructions were given already a few times, so you should have at least a concrete question, and not something like "after I have flashed this and that, it doesn't work anymore".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_O_N_A_C_O:
Yes, as some of the upgrade descriptions as previously provided did not work for me I just had a try and used a new 1.56 ROM on OliNex 1.14 Hard-SPL (USPL also did not work as described, but I found out how to change and get it to work).

Anyway, In order to get rid of the problems (due to my mistake of using new 1.56 ROM with "old" 1.14/1.15 SPL) again, I went back to USPL 2.5 and Dutty's 2.5 Xtreme.

This combination of course works, yet my upgrade intention is not fulfilled.

Currently, I cannot see any way to come to a new 1.56 ROM (HTC Original or Dutty's 2.7 Xtreme).

Any automatic upgrade to (Hard-)SPL 1.54 obviously does NOT happen.

So, does anybody know how to upgrade USPL 2.5 (obviously being SPL 1.14) and Dutty's 2.5 Xtreme to a new 1.56 ROM (WWE)?

(the side step to Stock SPL 1.15 as mentioned by Panot does not work for me)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Why not? You need to reflash the stock spl, otherwise it is not possible to update the spl at all. A custom rom (i.e. Dutty) doesn't contain any spl, so flashing a custom rom, won't change anything about your spl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:
There are so many people who seem to have trouble reading things on this forum.

@JohnPatcher: Your patience is legendary.

@MONACO: The man is trying to help you and has told you what you must do; why insult him? There is a step that you are missing out in your quest to run a 1.56 based ROM without the green screen issues that you've been experiencing. It stems from this simple fact: OliNex's HSPL is write protected. Got that? Simply put, installing the stock 1.56 ROM over the top of it, despite this package containing a new Stock SPL, will NOT overwrite HSPL. If you didn't understand that, read it again.

You must explicitly flash an earlier stock ROM and then flash stock SPL 1.15/1.14 BEFORE upgrading to the stock 1.56 ROM and then using USPL to flash to Dutty's 2.7 (or whomever's).

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the why for these steps, only that you should do them to achieve your goals.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
hooray!! I couldn't say that any better.....

Developers of HSPL, thanks for making flashing possible without any hassle. It's a pity you don't support 1.56 SPL.. Will there be a new release of HSPL in the future?

Different Device ID

Hi Olinex,

My device ID is BLAC120

SPL 1.15

Can I use your HSPL to flash other ROM???

... I tried using it by launching HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe but soon after I got a message in my HD that "it is not for this device" then I got an eof error message... I'm trying it again and will post outcome here...

... All good now. I did a hard reset first then load the new ROM...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daylebo5:
any hope of a hspl which can support 1.56 roms ? I find it extremely simple to flash using hspl...

If not, then i'll have to get my head around uspl....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dosari666:
Thank you johnpatcher for your great effort in helping us.. :)

The message that came up for M_O_N_A_C_O about the "Invalid Vender ID" came up for me as well when i wanted to flash 1.56 WWE, I also gave up on everything because of this error..

Now i'm downloading the EUROPE rom and hopefully it'll work.. Otherwise i'll CID Unlock..

Cheers everyone!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dosari666:
Regarding "Error [294]: Invalid Vender ID"

I got the error after trying to flash the new 1.56 WWE..

I thought i'd jump to the EUROPE rom and that was the solution, but unfortunately i got it again..

My blackstone is from Orange..

I hope you guys can help me identify my CID details for me to choose the proper rom..

Thank you...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 2unique:
can't you use USPL to flash the 1.56 Official ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LuCkYaN:
Ok i really don't understand, maybe i have a "problem" :)

So .. i made mistake to install without revert back , instruction that i did are :

Options if you have Olinex 1.14 HSPL installed then installed a 1.56 rom and now have greenscreen

* Revert back to stock SPL (using Restore-SPL-1.xx from HSPL thread)

* Use USPL 2.5 at your risk, it's not recommended to flash SPL from USPL

* Download stock ROM (RUU exe file) for any CID (region/operator)

* Flash ROM

So i revert 1.14 and now i have SPL 1.14.00000 but when i try to install the original ROM or Dutty / Laurentsiu etc. i get Invalid Vender ID every time , what i did wrong ? What i have to do now ? (now i have 1.56 Rom but i get green screen / no network ... and have delay, very big delay :P)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
so you have SPL 1.14 and you flash and get Invalid Vender ID every time.

Could it be that you are flashing using ruu_exe file ?

and have thus missed this step

Use USPL 2.5 at your risk, it's not recommended to flash SPL from USPL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LuCkYaN:
USPL ? I don't want to USPL , as i know uspl it's an alternative for HSPL , i HSPL with Olinex i don't get .. ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LuCkYaN:
Anyway i install and USPL and now it's ok :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dosari666:
You asked if i was using ruu_exe.. I'm not sure what you mean by that, because i just double click on the official rom and just go on till the 0 - 100% bar appears but it gets stuck in "0" then gives me Error 294 Invalid Vender ID.. Is there another way to flash the Rom?

And why is it not recommended using USPL to flash the 1.56 rom< i mean what's the risk?..

Thank you... :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bisis:
I can't understand a thing: It HSPL 1.56 will be released a day?

I'm waiting to install USPL but if it won't be never released..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Railgun76:
I also have a problem, and do not understand why.

Let's say that I follow all the "steps" in order to upgrade to a 1.56 rom.

I had Dutty 2.6 with Oilnex HSPL, downgraded to ITA Stock Rom + Radio, then downgraded to 1.14 stock SPL.

After that downloaded new 1.56 Stock Rom from HTC website (using serial for ITA provided in post). Is this rom downloaded from HTC site supposed to be flashed withou USPL ? Because without USPL it is stopping to 1% and giving back an error that I cannot use it on my phone.

I am currently using a HTC touch HD branded TIM Italy and Vista Business 32.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dosari666:
I gave up on that too.. I downloaded 1.56 europe and wwe, and both took me to error 294.. So i flashed using USPL.. And now i'm happy.. :-)

But if you say you tried USPL and it stopped in 1%, that means you still have Hard-SPL.. Make sure that you downgrade to Stock SPL..

Also i still dont understand some of us that say "Flash using USPL on your own risk".. I'm not sure what would happen if we did..

Can someone explain the risk here?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kkjjkkk:

Hi Olinex,

Thank you for your hard work. I tried several times to use stock SPL 1.14 (In the 1st post) and it comes as 1.14Olinex, not as you said as 1.14.000.

dead green screen

hello

I wanted to update my rom dutty xtreme 1.9b to 2.8 but now i have a green screen and my simcard don't works.

I try to

* Revert back to stock SPL (using Restore-SPL-1.xx from HSPL thread)

launch Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip copy nbh file and now my rom is SPL-1.15.0000

* Use USPL 2.5

I started my phone in mode tricolor and lunch USPL 2.5

* Flash ROM

And after launch ruu xtreme 2.8 but fter installation I always have green screen

And when I start my phone in tricolor mode, i have always SPL 1.15.0000

Thanks in advance for your help

cheers,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
Hi. Is there any reason why we should not try to revert to our stock SPL unless we need warranty service? Is this just because it is useless or for some special reason?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
The safest procedure should be to flash the official 1.56 ROM for your language (with no Hard SPL, USPL, nothing), then flash 2.8 xtreme again. Try this, it will work almost for sure. ;)

You may also try to download SPL 1.54 directly (it should be somewhere here) and then flash it through USPL. This is much faster but less safe. It is not recommended to flash SPL through USPL (it has always worked so far though).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shan_25:
Hi Johnpatcher,

I tried again now but stil the same.

In the 'Verify that you want to update the ROM version' screen, it says

From: 1.19.61.1

To: 1.14.Olinex

I must have downloaded the file from the 1st post for few times now but had no luck. If you have got the unzip file you used, can you post it here please?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Thats not possible, as the files get extracted during the execution. Maybe you should describe what you are doing, as there must be something that is wrong.

Are you replacing the file (RUU_signed), after you run the exe in order to flash the spl?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
Maybe you are missing some steps? Are you sure you did overwrite the file correctly?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mkent_barbados:
SPL 1.54

Is anyone working on HSPL for SPL1.54? A lot of hard cases say they won't upgrade SPL until the HSPL is available!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
im waiting to for this ,there is no way to use uspl for me.please work on it:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shan_25:
All what I did - extracted following two files first;

Unigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip (1.12 MB, 33963 views)

Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip (132.7 KB, 9583 views)

And then put both the extracted files in one folder and executed the first file. Always at the confirmation screen in the process, it asked if I want to replace with 1.14.Olinex image - not 1.14.0000 as I expect.

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] garybeaman:
Extract both files. Run Unsigned_HardSPL and it will self extract a number of files. DO NOT PRESS NEXT (or what ever it says). Now copy the ruu file from the Restore_Stock_SPL to the same folder that HardSPL extracted it's files to. Windows will ask if you want to overwrite the file, do it. Now you can continue with installing the HardSPL, which is now infact the original SPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Out of curiosity, why can't you run USPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
yes i can bud im scared to have the problems that much users have when he flashes the uspl:( (never have problems to flash in the past)

is the hard spl not the easy way to flash roms?correct me if im wrong?

will all the newest roms need the uspl to flash roms or is it temporary?

thats the reason why im not going to flash at the moment,maybe you can give me answer that decide me to flash?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
USPL is quite simple to use actually, unless you have Vista x64 it is a little more complicated, but still very doable. HardSPL is definitely easier, yes. However, newer cooked roms based on HTC's 1.56 rom will not run a phone with HardSPL loaded. Right now the only way to load these roms is by flashing back to the stock SPL and using USPL to load the new roms. USPL is temporary so yes you have to run it each time you want to flash a rom.

If you read the guide in my signature you can't go wrong with upgrading using USPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djcedric:
yes i know because i follow your posts to for a while bud im afrais that if i dont like the roms based on 1.56 a need to reflash to hspl if i want to reinstal energy rom....i will sleep tonight and maybe tomorrow i wil flash the uspl because at the moment i dont know if there is really big difference between the newest roms and the hspl compatible roms?

btw your dooing good work and you made good tut to flash uspl:)

i just take a little bit more information on the differences and improvements on the 1.56 roms to see if i will follow and continue flashing to stay in touch;)

if you have any GOOD reason and improvements im currious to ear them:)

thanks to clear up and talk about this unknow for me at the moment and sorry for my poor english:rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Actually with USPL you can flash any rom out at the moment. You just have to run USPL before you flash the rom.

The newer roms that don't work with HardSPL just have a lot of new features, more integration in Manila between tabs, and a ton of bug fixes.

So, if you do decide to go to a newer rom and then want to go back later you don't even need to reflash HardSPL, just use USPL and flash back to the old rom :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] malex973:
Good night to all i have a problem because i have a ubuntu so and hspl don't run with wine emulator. everyone help me and sorry for my english:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
And also remember that USPL is even safer than HSPL, since it will not overwrite you original SPL. This is not true however if you are flashing ROMs with the new 1.54 SPL.

This is nice. :) If I can I will try to flash a radio or something like that under BartPE, which is in fact free for download (you would need a Windows XP CD to create it, but you can borrow one from a friend and nobody will have anything against that). :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shan_25:
Thanks a lot mate. I do appreciate it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dannyng:
Yes, agreed.

Hi Olinex,

Please release hardSPL version 1.56 and I believe you can do it as you have done it before.

Rom cooker like Dutty and Miri release their new version using new 1.56 ROM that need to have 1.54 SPL .

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Danny
