when i do a hardSPL wil my phone still work then?

HardSPL

Go to the Raphael ROM development page and start reading the [Raph] or [ROM] threads. Some have screen shots and/or lists of the included apps and tools. There are enough great ROM threads below the sticky ones to keep you busy for a while. Most of them are excellent, you just need to read and then start flashing. You will find one that fits just right. ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] schnitzelbrain:
First HardSPL:

Then, get a UK S/N and download the original uk rom and flash

or, get a good 6.5 custom rom and flash

A good start would be the original rom, u see how the whole prozess works. Than read, read, ........................read through the rom section and find a suitable rom for you.

But beware, once u start with flashing u will not stop doing it, trust me:D

Ah and see my signature for a 6.5 suggestion
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Black C5:
No

You MUST flash HardSPL to flash a new ROM, but by itself, it will have no effect on the performance of your phone. The ROM is what will make the difference. The first page of this thread has all the information you need...Have fun.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] azonei:
this is why you guys have such a good reputation across the 'net. everywhere I looked, the recommendation pointed here :)

schnitzelbrain, thank you so much! HardSPL & the UK Stock ROM installed without ANY problems at all!! (not that I expected any, but you know... ;) )

Since I bought the phone abroad, duty-free, I don't expect it to be covered by an warranties now, so installing HardSPL isn't exactly a major worry, but good to know it was needed!

Black C5 - I'm off to have a look at the options. I've already had a sneaky peek, and there is a helluva lot to read through before I jump into any cooked ROMs!

thanks again, guys!!! you might see a lot more of me round these parts... ;)

Quick Question

Does anyone know if its possible to flash a rom using a linux based pc via usb? I searched alot here and on other sites but couldnt find a definite answer. My tower went caput and my laptop doesnt have windows. I was half way through a flash when a power surge fried my motherboard. Luckily a hard reset fixed the phone, but now the rom is really buggy. Lots of freezing, apps not working, etc. I was surprised it worked at all. But its obvious it badly needs a fresh rom because of the bad flash.

I tried the sd card method, but evidently my card is one those few you cant flash with (I get the "no image found" message). I have two identical 2gb cards and neither one will do it.

I apologize if this is off topic. I wasnt sure where to ask.

Thanks

Help me please

Hi all

PLEASE help me - I'm sleep deprived for 20 hours trying to figure this damn thing out.

I installed an older Raphael version by mistake (thanks to an outdated website) and now i get the "This concludes the beta test of this software" Page.

Here's what I tried

1. I cannot get into bootloader. Volume down+reset just gets me back to this screen without the tricolor screen

2. Active sync doesnt work

3. I dont have a micro SD reader on my laptop

Am i screwed ? Please please please tell me i dont have to throw away my new Fuze because I was adventurous... I cant afford a new one !

Now - coming back to my original problem that started the whole flash/reflash fiasco which caused all this hell.....can someone help me with this ?

I got this new phone so I can send MMS (picture) messages - I use Tmobile and used their website to configure the MMS settings. All was okay but whenever I receive a MMS it shrinks the picture to a 4-5k size.

I searched the net but couldnt find anything. Some random posts said its a ROM problem - and hence I updated the ROM but that didnt really help.

Has anyone seen this weirdness ?

Some people have no problems at all so give it a try and see what happens. If it fails then it will do so long before it does any damage to your phone. If you dont want to risk it then HardSPL on a pc with windows xp and everything else can be done via microSD Card.

Problems flashing my GSM Touch Pro

Hello,

** Great support Thread well put together & easy to follow **

Wish there was another for Flashing roms that tells you how to overcome issues as I have searched everywhere and I am getting more & more confused by the minute:

I have run and installed Hard Spl No problem !

But when I try and install a custom ROM I keep getting the same error:

ERROR [202] : Connection

When I check on the phone it says ActiveSync Connected

Can anyone help please ?

Try copying ssplmanual to your device and then run it from your phone to get it into the black screen, then run the ruu to try flashing HardSPL that way. Its described in the notes section in the first post.

terminology

I hope i dont get tazered for this question... But I've been trying to slowly bite down on customizing my Fuze and feel lost in all the terminology that I come across.

Can someone help me with a "dummy's reference" or point me to a link that has this FAQ ?

1. What is Manila ? I just got Elite RC4 - and am having UI issues. Some posts refer to Manila fixes - what is this and where can i get it ?

2. How do i do CAB file updates. So far I've only learnt how to do ROM flashes.

3. A lot of the posts talk about registry edits. How do I do that ? Is there a regedit on WM6.1. Where can I find it?

I'm realy sorry if these are basic questions that everyone knows answers to - but I'm hoping someone here can help me - since this thread is a dedicated N00b thread
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] maxchao:
Ha now I am the winner. Bought the Fuze and flash HardSPL and NAFT v2.2 within 5 hours. Basically I didn't even bother to learn how to use the stock interface.

I have trouble flashing ROM with microSD card as well. (I follow the instruction.) No matter what I do it would show the "no image file" when I go into the tricolor screen. I just use usb cable. Maybe I will tinker it more next time I want a different ROM. I'm running XP SP2.

I was worrying about the speed of touchflo3d when I was playing with the demo in the store but mine is definitely no lag. (NAFT v2.2) It is still a little sluggish to navi the webpage and pdf file though.

This is an awesome forum! This is what makes Fuze a real iphone killer. :D

No matter what I try, once the screen goes blank on my Fuze

Activesync closes and XP gives me the "unplugged" ding-dong sound..

Shortly thereafter, the HardSPL utility comes up with "Error 260: Connection" and it tells me nothing is connected..

How do I solve this?

I've got a quick question, I ran RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe and I followed the checklist and I got to the part where it started installing and it said it would take ~10 minutes, but it finished in less than 30 seconds, and my Fuze restarted itself. Did I flash it or did I do something wrong?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shamus072:
Sounds normal.... the rom takes longer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] shamus072:
Mine did that too... I think it had something with the HTC usb drivers not installing correctly. Im sure there is a way to uninstall them and try again, but I just used a different usb port and it worked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
SPL's dont take long at all to flash. Read this to check your SPL version:

[FONT=&quot]7. To confirm you installed it correctly, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex.

**To enter Bootloader and check HardSPL version; with the device turned on, press and hold the volume down button, then press the reset button with the stylus. Release the volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears**[/FONT]
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] 3DPiper:
Finally got it.. When the screen goes blank and the PC says it is unplugged, it tries to reinstall a HTC driver.. Hit 'continue anyways' and it installs and says 'your device is ready to use', then the HardSPL RUU can install..!

Question:

"NOTE 4: DO NOT use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e. hardspl or stock spl restore)!!! If you want to flash some other rom, then use customruu from *HERE*"

I don't understand what this means.. I want to install the Da_G Clean Fuze ROM.. Is that a SPL flashing rom, or a customruu rom?

problems with roms

I have a European T2727 Rapheal Unlocked.

I did the Hard-SPL update with no trouble.

When I try to install a cooked rom - The rom flashes, but lots of the included cab's won't install. Also - certain roms won't install either (such as hTorch - but something emoze will install)

Any ideas what I've done wrong? As I type this I wonder if this has anything to do with whether the apps are digitally signed or now?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
It simply means that the RUU (Rom Update Utility) for flashing the SPL is ONLY for flashing the SPL.

The Rom you wish to flash should include an RUU to flash it but if not then download and use the one given in the link.

I'm not familiar with US networks and their network set-up, but I believe t-mobile is gsm. Tehre's a super easy, 100% sure way to know. If you have a SIM card, it's GSM, if you don't, it's CDMA

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
It's understandable. There's a LOT of information to try and absorb here. We can't tazer you since you're asking in the "noob" thread :).

Manila is the default UI that HTC has started putting on their phones as an "alternative" to (or supposed replacement for) the default Windows Today screen. The interface uses tabs, much like a manila folder, in order to organize system information, including programs, settings, and multimedia. The original incarnation of Manila was in 2D, so in development it was simply called "Manila2D". Once HTC started releasing phones with the interface, it was called "TouchFLO". Newer versions of the interface adopted a 3D interface, and is thus called "TouchFLO 3D". The Touch Pro/Fuze/Touch HD comes with version 1.x of the TouchFLO 3D interface. Newer devices, such as the Topaz & Rhodium, come with version 2.x. Version 2.x was ported to VGA resolution by xboxmod & his team of experts. As it was ported from WVGA resolution, there are some graphical & functional "glitches" with the interface. Thus, over time, numerous fixes have been posted to help correct these issues. A thread was recently started that includes most of these fixes. Also, these fixes were incorporated into a cab install for those who want to update that way.

I use WinCE Cab Manager to create cab files. If you want to create cabs from DLL files, Chainfire created a tool called DriverWiz that can be used to create properly signed cab files for this purpose. If you're asking how to install a cab file, that's easy. Just open it in file explorer, and run it. But I assume you know that already, if you've been flashing ROMs.

dotFred Task Manager is free, and is a good simple tool that includes a Registry Editor. But be warned, changing stuff in the Registry (especially if you don't really know what you're doing) can mess up your device, and lead to you having to hard reset if you change the wrong thing.

I would give you some links to help, but I'm posting from my Fuze. Besides that, "Search" is a tool that all noobs must learn to use ;).

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Silverexp:
Try reformatting the card (FAT32), then move over the *.nbh file, rename it RAPHIMG.nbh . Make sure there is a file size and good luck. Even try a different reader for the card.

What size is your microSD Card? The best (and recommended) size for flashing from a storage card is 1GB formatted with FAT32.

Hi mskip,

I would like to tell u "Thanks" for job u done.

Everything seem go in the right way and... at 36% pc crashed and so my mobile... :eek:

So I tried to re-install your ROM and seem all things go on (sorry for my english it's so poor) but, when I restarted I can see for hours the label:

TOUCH PRO

R 1.11.25.01

G 52.58.25.30U

D 5.05.00.00

It's freeze... I want to broken it... :(

I'm so sad and angry... :( please, could u help me please?

Maybe I was a fool, I don't have to use official HTC ROM?

Hi mskip,

thanks to replyed me so quicly!

Sorry if I was no clear to explain my problem with my last message, I try again:

1 - I installed HardSPL and installed your ROM, everything go in the right way, reboot and ask me insert PIN.

2 - So i decided to install last official HTC ROM ...seem all ok but pc crashed at 36%, tryed to reboot but was still freezy (pc and HTC too).

So i decided to unplug HTC because pc stayed on bios step.

When I unplugged cable pc restarted.

HTC display just 36% and stay so all time.

When pc was ready i plugged HTC, restart HardSPL and repeat the first steps point.

Seem all things go in the right way and have again the job done on step 1, displayed message "Congratulation..." and HTC reboot.

But ...when reboot stop with the first message "HTC Pro", show at bottom information in red I told u and stay so...

Now pc can't see HTC so HardSPL can't see it...

I hope to be more clear.

I can reinstall ROM again? But... pc can't see it, Bootstrap don't finish, stay first "welcome message".

Thanks for all !
