Restoring to stock SPL

Ok... before I start, I wanna say that I've tried to read this thread as best as I can. Lots of information and it is quite possible that I missed something - for that, please forgive me in advance :(

That said, here's my situation: My phone's busted and I need to send it back to HTC for warranty work. In order to do that, I need to restore everything back to how it was i.e. re-flash the device using a stock ROM and SPL etc and whatnot.

I followed the steps outlined in the first page of this article.

Step 1:

I restored this ROM:

RUU_BlackStone_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.59.707.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship

I chose that cause I believe that the unit was one of the Asia models (is there a way I can tell??)

Once the ROM was in place, I then restored the SPL 114 found in the NBH file contained in the Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip file that's available for download on this thread.

Here's what the bootloader screen (tri-colored) showed:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.0000

MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6

Serial

Problem: When the "tap the screen to set up your Windows Mobile based device" screen came up, I saw the much dreaded hazy green color.

AFTER further research, I discovered the causes of this issue in the the "Understanding 1.56 Roms (Greenscreen issue & Flashing)" section.

I then re-flashed my phone with the same ROM called out above and voila, the setup screen does not display the ugly green color like it did previously.

Now, when I go to the bootloader screen, I see the following:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.54.0000MicroP-Blackstone (LED) V6

If my understanding is correct, this is expected (Basically if you do NOT have Olinex HardSPL installed, the stock SPL would be replaced with SPL 1.54.) - correct??

HERE'S THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: Given this configuration would HTC deny my warranty work on the count of my installing custom ROMs in the past? What I want to do is cover my hind quarters so that the warranty work goes through without a hitch.

Also, I do not recall ever flashing to a different radio ever. Would any of the custom ROMS (NRGZ or MIRI) ever have a RADIO upgrade embedded such that the radio is upgrade when you install one of their ROMs?

Sorry if my questions seem retarded, I just want to make sure I get a solid grasp of what I need to do before I ship the phone Texas-bound to the HTC warranty repair place :)

Thanks folks.

Hey no worries about your questions. At least you have done some searching and reading and are not just coming here for answers. ;)

Can you recall what the original rom and spl versions were? If HTC wanted to get really sticky they could for example say that your phone (based on S\N or IMEI number) is only entitled to xyz rom and spl 1.14 for example. In that case, the only way to get to spl 1.54.0000 is via the hspl/uspl hacks. Try going to the HTC site and inputting your S/N or IMEI number to see if your phone is eligible for an upgrade and then use that rom and matching spl.

As far as radios goes, AFAIK miri and NRG roms are radio free, but there are some roms that do change the radio. As you have flashed back to a stock rom though, the radio is normally included and so you should now have radio 1.13.25.24 as depicted in the rom name.

HELP HELP HELP

I made a big mistake: I used 1.56 HSPL and not the 1.54 and now my HD is blocked I can't use it and I can't flash it whith an another HSPL

Can you help me ?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kobbz:
Hi Clyde,

Thanks for your response - I really appreciate the help. I unfortunately do not recall what the original ROM and SPL versions were. There is a ROM update on HTC but it's for the EU Blackstone version. I'm currently on the horn right now with HTC trying to get the stock ROM that the device may have shipped with the device. I am about 3 mins deep into the call with HTC rep and have so far learnt that the device came from Malaysia :D

I'll edit this thread once I gather the details - again, thanks for your prompt response.

UPDATE

So I just got off the phone with this really helpful lady from HTC. She was able to let me know that there was a ROM update for this phone, gamme the link from where to download the update etc. That ROM version # is TouchHD_WWE(1.18.707.3) and I have just completed restoring the phone back to that (upgraded)stock ROM. Interestingly enough, the SPL has switched back to 1.14.0000.

I wanna say we're good... unless I'm missing something? I've got my fingers crossed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
My pleasure, and good luck ;)

Hi geekboyfr,

if you initially had Olinex 1.14 HSPL installed then installed a 1.56 rom and now have greenscreen, you will need to revert back to stock SPL. Please follow these steps to restore back to your stock ROM version:

1. First, be sure to restore your stock OS, and then the stock radio. The Stock SPL is always to be done last!

2. Download your choice of a stock spl package from the link shown below. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)

3. Also download the original hardspl from the link shown below.

4. Run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. Just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.

5. The SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!

6. Continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

7. To verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!

that's it.

Please refer to the following link for more information and the necessary files you will require to re-flash back to Stock (see and read the last section of post #1):

Good luck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I'm not certain what you are saying here? :confused:

Did you want to use uspl and use the 1.54.000 spl but instead you installed the hspl 1.56.Olinex? There is no hspl 1.54. :confused:

That is okay, you should still be able to revert to any spl you want to. In what way is the HD blocked? Why can't you use it? If you have changed the spl but not changed your rom, then the phone may not be working properly. What spl is currently on your phone and what rom are you using?

If you give some more details of what you have done and what you are trying to do but can't we can understand better and be able to help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shwareb:
When I download and then run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe I get an error, it says --> The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application

I would like to know after I flashed Hard-SPL and install cooked rom, if my phone broken, do I need to flash back to original SPL or rom??

Sorry for my stupid questions....

Thanks everyone so so much!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you want to return your phone for service under a warranty then yes. If HTC see the wrong spl on your phone they will not honour the warranty. You can find the steps and tools to do this at the end of the first post in this thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MasDroid:
I don't see how it would break your phone. Just read the dummies guide thoroughly, do everything step-by-step, and you should be fine.

Having a bit of trouble here with going back to stock SPL.

I've flashed back to this Orange ROM for warranty reasons: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=552366&highlight=ORANGE followed by stock SPL 1.14 and now I'm getting the screwy colours and I can't figure out why.

I've searched and know that this happens because the SPL on the device doesn't match up with the ROM, but these are both standard items. Any idea how to resolve the issue please?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That rom is a recent one, [ROM] [WWE] OrangeUK_HTCTouchHD_1.59.61.2_Radio_52.64.25.34_1. 14.25.24_Ship and therefore will require a higher spl than 1.14. It will probably require 1.54.0000. That is why you have the screwy colours
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vdude_1:
Yeah I read through your posts on page 99 onwards and with a bit of help from fallen_spartan I am back on that Orange ROM with 1.54 running, ready to hand back to Orange tomorrow for a fresh HD :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vdude_1:
Ok, having got a stock orange rom, radio and SPL back on the phone, I've been informed that the security unlock on the bootloader screen will also void my warranty. Is there a way to undo the security unlock and CID unlock?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:

I hav SPL 1.14

can i use 1.56 HSPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes you can. Provided the rom you want to flash to is one of the later ones ie a 1.56+ based rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, as Clyde stated as long as you match your SPL to rom it'll be fine. You can use this guide to help

hello, I have a htc touch hd, when I turn on, I see a horrible logo of movistar, following this procedure and installing a new ROM, the brand takes off?

wait for your reply, thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
The movistar logo was the welcome screen from your operator. Installing a different rom stock would most likely have a different welcome image which would replace the Movistar one

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I'm also using an NRG rom at min (see sig) and my HD was Orange branded, but my splash screen has also replaced by one I made myself.

You can get your Movistar image back by replacing 'welcomehead.192.png' file in /windows by using a file explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer

In the bootloader mode, my Touch HD shows "SPL-1.56.0linex" and when i boot up, it states " R 1.14 .25.24 ; G 52.64.25.34H ; D1.59 Dutty".

If i need to send my HD back to the HTC service centre, do i need to reflash it back to the stock rom? Cos i read somewhere that there's no need to flash back to stock SPL, since it’s already in the device. Is that true?:confused:

Tks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I'd imagine if the HTC Centre sees any evidence of changing spl etc it can invalidate your guarantee. HSPL is a sure sign of having had the ability to change roms etc and they can try to pin any malfunction on the phone on this, rightly or wrongly so. According to the instructions in the first post, it's advised to reflash to the stock rom and radio (included) and then to revert to the stock spl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] canjoy:
On the 1st post, it states that i need to restore stock OS & radio before doing stock SPL.

Does the following procedures include restoring the stock OS & radio, cos i really quite confused abt this :confused:

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

1. download your choice of a stock spl package from this post. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)

2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.

3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.

4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!

5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!

that's it.

+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, step 0 says that you need to restore stock rom and radio first and then spl. If you still have hspl loaded, flash the rom first (radio is included in the stock rom). Then depending on which rom you are using you will need to match the appropriate spl which is then "flashed" last.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] canjoy:
I've d/l "Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip" & the 'Restore_Stock_SPL_115.zip", so i run the "HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe". But when it boots up, it still show R 1.14 .25.24 ; G 52.64.25.34H ; D1.59 Dutty" and in the bootlader screen, it's still at "SPL-1.56.0linex".

Oh mine... where did i go wrong.... really confused abt it :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Remember when you are restoring stock SPL you open HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe (but don't run it) then replace the .nbh file with the stock one and then you continue to run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe by following on screen instructions
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] canjoy:
Yah, I did that- i didnt run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, just opened it & then copied the .nbh file from the 'Restore_Stock_SPL_115.zip" into the same folder. After that then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe. But still the same result - spl-1.56olinex in the bootloader screen...

Haiz... really lousy with this...:mad:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Did you replace (ie overwrite) the initial nbh file that was there? There must only be 1 nbh file (the spl 1.15 one).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] canjoy:
Yup i did that, then now the display has colour distortion. THe bootloaders shows 1.15.000.

But there's a even worse issue - i can't connect on mobile network. :mad:

Oh mine... the problem is getting worse....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That sounds like you have the wrong spl for the version of the rom you are using. You say the spl is now 1.15.0000, what rom do you now have on the device?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] canjoy:
When it boots up, it still show R 1.14 .25.24 ; G 52.64.25.34H ; D1.59 Dutty", does it imply that the rom is 1.59?

Another thing is i get an error-reporting for shell32.exe. What's that caused by?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The rom is based on 1.59, but that does not say what spl version you have. You will need to switch to bootloader (tri-colour) screen to see that.

Thanks Olinex & contributors. Easy to use and effective as usual.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ezsurfer:
I have a question after using the SIM Unlock tool: I used to have SPL 1.54.000 and ROM version was Duttys V3 XT Ship WWE and after the HSPL and SIM unlock from Olinex the phone shows 1.56 Dutty on the bootloader. Is this alright? Will I be able to flash other more recent ROMs?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
If you did the Hard SPL correctly, your bootloader should read

SPL-1.56 Olinex

.

Remember, To get to the bootloader you can do one of the following

:

• soft reset device and immediately hold vol. down

or

• shut down your device completely, then press power once and immediately hold vol. down

Let go of vol. down when you see the bootloader screen (red/green/blue screen).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ezsurfer:
Yes, as I was saying before: in bootloader mode it used to show SPL 1.54.000 and now it shows 1.56, but it says Dutty instead of Olinex. Isn't that weird? Should I try another time to see if it changes to 1.56 Olinex? I did it twice already and it keeps showing 1.56 Dutty where it is supposed to show 1.56 Olinex. :eek:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ezsurfer:
Correction: it shows now 1.56 Olinex.

So my other question was if with this I can just go now and flash any of the more recent ROMs available?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
Yes, you are safe to download the most recent cooked Roms available and any blackstone Radio's as well.

The SD card method of flashing is an alternative way of flashing as well. Look <<HERE>> for details.

Happy Flashing....:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] whapper:
could someone explain this to me "NOTE: it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE"

I'm about to flash my first rom but that statement confuses me...

Do roms come with radios built in? or is that a seperate item that i need to flash?

Then should i also need to buy the security unlock?

thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
Don't worry about Security Unlocking your device. Most people just stick with the standard Blackstone Radios.

When flashing a cooked Rom, Radio's do NOT come onboard for the simple reason that everyone desires different Radio's and thus cooks leave them out. Flashing a different Radio is the same process as flashing a ROM.

Make sure you Hard SPL your device before flashing...;)

Hi guys,

Sorry for my silly problem. I had the TOUCH HD before and now I'm using HD2... My friend ask me to restore the SPL for him but now I can not know what to do... In fact, he wants to give the HTC for warranty service. I flashed the stock 1.14.421.5 (WWE) already but I know the SPL is not compatible with this ROM so they give the Color Illustration Screen on the device.

I would love to hear someone, please tell me what I have to do coz' I try to flash along with the instruction on first post but the device always stuck on 0%. I'm on SPL 1.54.000
