This Hard-SPL is for model BLAC100 (ie, the European Touch HD). The Telstra version is the BLAC120.

As it says in the first post

So, maybe send them a PM and see what they say?

I'm just waiting to get my NextG Touch HD and then I'll probably contact them aswell :)

reflashing shipped spl

i tried to reflash stock spl and did everything like it says in the first post.

i restored stock OS, and stock radio, and after that i opened hard spl exe overwrited the .nbh file with this one Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip found in the firs post. Than when i enter bootloader mode i still see 1.14.OliNex screen.

i need to restore stock spl for warranty reasons... 3g network isn't working any more, it keeps switching from 3G to H icon but no data flow....

thanks for the help.

p.s. i see that a few people managed to restore stock spl 1.13 , i need 1.14
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AmokPL:
ok after hours spend on wiki can somebody tell me am I getting this right?

is this the right order?

- first HARDSPL - to be able to flash the cooked roms

- next COOKED ROM - Dutty f.e

what about the radio, fixes, and backup of my stock orange rom in case of returning the device to the shop? whats the proper sequence? :]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lbarouf:
I wonder if the BLAC120 is really different than the BLAC100. If the hardware is different, which I doubt, than we are SOL for getting the 850/1900 Mhz enabled for 3G access. Can someone open the device and take a good high res pic of the board, I'd like to identify the amps.

Cheers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moony1987:
Well it's running the same radios as BLAC100 so I'm assuming that it is a hardware difference giving us 850/2100 instead of 900/2100.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blazehops:
Ok, i'm new to this and never before flashed anything......but i thought my first problems would be something to do with the phone but i can't even get the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe to run, comes up with an error and wont load the program, anyone know why this is or how to get round it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Well without the error I am only guessing...

Try installing the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blazehops:
Great educated guess DaveShaw, just tried it and it seemed to work, i'll try it out now, thanks alot :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
re-download stock spl file, if you downloaded it too long ago.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
yeah, BLAC120 was not supported by default as this was untested. I will re-check if you sent me a PM, if not, then please send your MSN (or yahoo or icq) contact address in PM, then we can test this for BLAC120 (my assumption is BLAC120 can use the same SPL, but just to be sure ;) ).

if you were too impatient and just clicked continue then let me know if it was all happy with the hardspl and if so I will update it not to give a warning. (in this case no testing is needed as you already risked it :p )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
in other news... I heard there's 1.51 SPL and ROM now, and apparently these are not compatible with 1.1x SPL, i.e. 1.5x ROM needs 1.5x SPL. in this case I will update hardspl to 1.5x. but maybe it's just because it's test rom. I will find out more soon
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moony1987:
cmonex - I've chucked HardSPL onto my BLAC120 and have not noticed any issues. While it was original SPL 1.15, HardSPL seems to be working fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
great, thanks for letting me know. I'll update SSPL in the next few days to not warn if it is BLAC100/110/120.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Is your SD card FAT32 Formatted on your PC? If yes, you might need to buy a new card, made by Sandisk (see previous discussion in this thread that some card makes just don't work).

The HD doesn't need to Sync to flash the ROM. You can just run the RUU whilst the phone is in WM or in the bootloader. If it has a problem, it will give you an message and an error code.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
resco explorer doesn't format it properly. You need to use Windows and a Card Reader.

Dear all,

I cannot seem to flash to HSPL. I manage to go until tricolor screen,

and it will start to hang and error 260 pops up.

I tried remedies below:

1. install .net

2. install activesync

3. Under mobile, uncheck all boxes in USB to PC.

4. Disable all antivirus.

5. connect to activesync.

6. run hspl.

7. mobile goes to tricolor, and error 260 pops up =(

May I know where's the prob? thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FileFixer:
When your mobile goes to tricolor, try to unplug USB then plug in back. On the tricolor sreen must written USB.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] turcomora:
So I am getting the Aussie T8285 the one that has the 850 band to see if the 3G works here in the US. I am sure it is going to come with all the Telstra carrier garbage on it so I need to HSPL to flash a new rom correct? So the T8525 is that the Blac 120? Sorry if I sound "noobish" I am coming from the polaris forums and am not too familiar with the HD yet.

Thanks,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoltan35:

hi guys..im having problem with the HSPL..hope someone could help me...

i tried to flash with the Hard-SPL...my active sync and .net was installed previously...so after clicking the .exe file..the software took awhile to inspect my phone..and show me the Error 202..saying my usb connection has some prob...

i decided to try the manual version...so i copy the file n put it in my SD card...after clicking it..my phone goes to the color screen(no usb word shown at the bottom)...tried to launch the HSPL now..but it doesnt response to the phone..try to unplug the usb and connect again..same..no 'usb' shown on the phone...

sorry if this has been asked b4...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dextrosan:
Is your activesync connection working? Are you able to sync contacts, access your SD Card and internal storage? Did you select activesync connection on your phone when you connected it with your computer?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xpipox:
yes...active sync is working..nv tried to sync contact...but i hav no prob accessing my SD card thru active sync...i set the setting in my phone so that it always select active sync...and according to some bros at 10++ page..i uncheck the fast data connection too..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dextrosan:
Ok, can you also access the internal storage of the phone - "Program Files", "Application Data" etc? What version of windows are you using and what version of windows mobile device center?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xpipox:
hi there

im using winxp service pack 3 v3264..and my wn6.1 is stock rom..nothing tweaked..

yes im able to access my program files/application data without any prob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dextrosan:
I assume you have activesync 4.5 installed (otherwise here)

I have been through some threads with the same error 202. Some people claim a hard reset worked for them, some suggest activesync reinstall or that an antivirus was the cause of bad connection.

I would suggest a hard reset with activesync reinstall.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xpipox:
thanks alot..will definately try to reinstall activesync....hard reset wont solve the prob as i tried a few times...and for antivirus wise..its impossible cos i rare login XP in my mac..so i nv install any anti virus softwarez...

anyway..regardless whether it works..appreciate for the helps...thanks =)

edited: try uninstall n reinstall active sync...stil the same..tried to flash with another winxp lappy..also cannot =(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
the device must be synced via activesync even when running the manual version. otherwise USB in the tricolour (1.07.OliNex) will not be functional.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmonex:
stock SPL version: doesn't matter. 1.14 is just fine

as for stock ROM, you need to know which carrier (CID) the device is from

obviously; this is why this SPL is hard :P (has overwrite protection against usual ROMs)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xpipox:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skinyadi:
First i want to congratulate you for what you've done.

Second...how i succeded in "updateing"

--i get the same error like most of the people (usb failure after detecting rom version)--

1. copy the manual spl to phone

2.(optional, i think it doesen't matter)turn off remove my microSD from phone, turn on

3. disconect USB cable

4. run SPL manual and wait 10-20 seconds

5. conect usb cable, and wait to display usb

6. run hard SPL, done.

Hope that helps someone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xpipox:

Hi Olipro and Cmonex, at firist, I want to thanks you for this great tool and sorry for my bad English.

My HD has a weird problem, the battery was just perfect untill I hardSPL my device. After do hardSPL ( without any error), it is much worse than normal, the battery indicator ( by percentage) drop down very fast, especially when it come to 20%, my HD can live just 50 to 60 minutes in stand by. I've tried to hardreset, up several of Roms including ship Rom but nothing happen. I also successfully restore shipped SPL, borrowed another HD's battery but it's still bad. Because the lack of 3G in my country, I've disable HSPDA and HSUPA, turn off wifi and bluetooth and programs after used to save battery life. My shipped spl is 1.14, if I change it to 1.13 or 1.15, does it brick my device? I have read all post in this topic, there is no solution for my HD, I'm very confusing, please help me, my HD is BLAC100.

P/S: i noticed that the Shipped SPL 1.14 in your attachment is 1.14_2, so do you have any other version of spl 1.14? Please help me, I don't know what to do now, thanks you very very very much:(

hi,

i´m just sitting here, looking at my blackstone - which is stock - and thinking about flashing with duttys 2.3 xtreme ROM. now i´m wondering, if I can use my notebook for flashing the device, cause in the system screen i´ve seen six "usb root hubs". in the instruction is posted, that you should not use a usb hub...

does my notebook have a real usb hub or is it just a fake? (it is a lenovo x61s)

thanks in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ktsak:
Don't worry, just use your notebook for flashing. It has a real USB hub. They were talking about avoiding external usb hubs. I'm doing this always fwith my notebook and never had a problem :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigneeker:
ok i had the same problem as everyone else where it would hang after the progress bar and then it would tell me that im not connected via usb.

what i did was

-hard reset the HD

-reinstall activesync 4.5

-connect to activesync and stay synced

-run the sspl manual (which would disconnect it from activesync)

-it would then reconnect 10 seconds later via usb

-i would start thehardspl program

that did it for me!

However, I would like to know how I can bring it back to the original setting so that when I send it for warranty I don't get asked too many questions?

Currently I installed HardSPL in order to run the A Touch of HD ROM and I also upgrade my radio version to the latest one.

It seems that the last Rom 1.56.405.1 have a new SPL.

Is it possible to have a new HSPL according this new one ?

Thanks for any reply.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] willbread:

when I flash by active sync, i can see the message "no image file" one second in the bootloader...

what does that mean ? the flash works even though...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] poohpoohguy:
If I restore the stock SPL as above, can i update to the lastest HTC official rom afterward ? Please note, I have also updated my radio to 1.13.xxxx, would it cause any conflict ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ALF@be:
Here is the answer :

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Stupid question: I have reflashed the stock spl, then flashed the new official rom (including radio and spl) using uspl.

Now I want to try whether my cooked rom can be booted with the "old" HSPL, but unfortunately it isn't possible to flash HSPL anymore, as I'm already on 1.54.

Is there anything I can do about it, or have I just to wait for a new release?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
Why is it not possible? Did you try SSPL-Manual? What happens when you run it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AllTheWay:
HardSPL 1.56

Just wondering what the possibility of getting a HardSPL version 1.56.

Thanks,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
It stucks at 0%, and after some time (3 minutes or so) the RUU shows a error.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ALF@be:
Here is what I have done to successfully replace the 1.56SPL.

1°/ Flash an old 1.14 official rom with USPL 2.5

2°/ Revert back the SPL 1.14 following the guide in the first post :

3°/ Reflash the HSPL.

Hope that it help you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Hi, thanks for this guide :).

As stepw told me that flashing SPL through USPL isn't safe, I'm not keen on such procedures any more, so I have to consider if its worth at all.

I just wanted to try whether my cooked roms run with the old SPL, but I don't want to brick my device with things like that :).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
He isn't using USPL for SPL flashing.

The SPL is been flashed using SSPL.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
But I would have as there is no german official 1.56.401.0 rom, at least if I want to go back to 1.54 later on.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
I'm not sure I follow, I'll break it down (sorry if it's a bit patronising) :o

You have Stock SPL 1.54 and Stock ROM 1.56.

Use USPL to Flash Stock ROM 1.14.

You now have Stock SPL 1.54 and Stock ROM 1.14.

Use ALF instrucions to revert to Stock SPL 1.14.

You now have Stock SPL 1.14 and Stock ROM 1.14.

Now you can use Hard SPL, like you have a new 1.14 device.

Hope this helps.:)

Ta

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Yes, but I just want 1.14 in order to check whether my rom will boot. I'm happy with 1.54, so if I want to go back to 1.54, I would have to flash the official WWE rom again, which means I need USPL in order to flash SPL, because there is no german 1.56.401.0 rom so far.

Anyway, thanks for your advice, I'm happy right now :).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
To go back to 1.54 SPL after you're done testing, you should be able to extract the 1.54 SPL from the 1.56 Ship Exe and flash it using SSPL Manual.

Or have Oli / Nex patched the SSPL to only flash 1.1* SPLs?

I'll crack open IDA and take a look at 1.54 and see if I can find a way to make it hard ;)

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Ok, thats an option :).

I don't know, maybe I'll try it later.
