What exactly is your problem? Have you tried flashing your phone and got stuck somewhere or do you just like *****ing for no reason :rolleyes:

The instructions are extremely detailed and have evolved from the feedback of people who have successfully flashed their phones through following them. The data is always up to date and the thousands of phones that now have new faster custom roms on them are testimony to that.

If you need help then by all means ask for it and it will be given but please dont show your ignorance and criticise something with which you know nothing about.

Have a great day :D

what if it doesn't work

if i use hardspl and try to burn a rom, but it doesn't work, can i get my old rom back, or not?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Sounds like ur nervous ;)

HardSPL and Rom are the same thing. Your SPL will either be upgraded or it wont, theres no half way. Either way your Rom will still be on the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neight:
quick newblar question:

please explain the difference in descriptions for HARD RESET command...

mskip version as per post #1:

(hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER (center) Buttons, press the RESET button with the stylus tip, then release the RESET button but continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until the reset screen appears)

htc support version as per http://www.htc.com/us/faqs.aspx?p_id=198&cat=0&id=72382 :

Press and hold the Left and Right Soft Keys

Keep the two buttons pressed, and at the same time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button. If successful, you will get a white screen with blue text asking you to confirm the reset.

both work the same? thanks in advance
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] debunker:
will give it a try

thanks, i will give it a try when i'm home, i will let you know if it worked out or not, but i supose it will, and yes i'm a little nervous, because i don't want a non-working phone ;)

Anyway thanks again, and i think its great you do this.

ROM Upgrade from SD card

I own an AT&T Fuze, and have made several ROM upgrades via Active sync without a problem. I'm trying to upgrade using the MicroSD this time, following the directions given. I have gotten as far as the tricolor screen, but there has been no change over the next 10 mins. Because I don't want to brick MY phone, I want to be sure that I have not started the ROM update, yet, since I am still in the tricolor screen.

1. complete SD card format (Fat32)

2. copied the .nbh file to the card.

3. changed the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh

4. put the phone into tricolor screen

Nothing happens. I suspect this is because I copied the file out of winrar without decompressing it first. I thought because it appeared to be opening that I decompressed appropriately.

I need to know what to do now! Do I soft reset????

Dr.Rob
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Uh, yeah, you need to un-rar it first!!! Then rename it, etc. Everything else you've done is fine. When you do it properly, you'll see the bootloader screen for a second or two, then the screen goes gray and it says 'reading,' or something like that. After ~5 seconds, it will tell you to push power to update the image. Next, you get a green progress bar, and the process takes ~3 min. It's very simple.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Radimus:
Just make sure that you HardSPL it first
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aucdiver:
FT,

I was sh#$%ing bricks, waiting for a reply. Thanks! I'm now smiling. I've already correctly opened the file and am ready to copy it over again, the RIGHT WAY. Once again, thanks for being there for us noobs.

Oh, and I'm keeping an eye out for YOUR ROM release, too. Right now, I'm trying the 6.5 test2 from Da_G, and then NATF's 4.5. Thus far, I've been most satisfied with Todd's work (fewest bugs).

Dr.Rob
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
oops yeah i didnt mean to do that :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aucdiver:
Radimus,

Thanks for the tip, but HardSPL only has to be done once, right? I've loaded many ROM's on my device already. It's just that this is my first time doing it with the MicroSD. I'm still having no luck, by the way.

I managed to get the gray screen that FT referred to, but it immediately went back to the tricolor screen. I'm sure that I unRar'ed it correctly. What am I missing?

I would continue to do it via activesync like I've always done, but Da_G's 6.5 file doesn't have the .exe file needed to run it from activesync.

1. I've confirmed that I unRar'ed it correctly

2. I put it on my microSD card (it's the only thing on there, and I didn't put it into any subfolders/folders

I got the tricolor screen, and the gray screen came up briefly.

It seems that something is wrong with the RAPHIMG.nbh file, since it stops there.

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
You can use any raphael customruu.exe to flash a rom its just the program to flash it theres no difference. Just copy the customruu.exe from one of your other rom downloads or get it *HERE*, unzip it and copy it to your roms folder. As long as you have the ruu and a .nbh file then you should be all set to flash via activesync :)

Also I dont know what size your storage card is but successful flashing seem to be a bit sporadic on cards over 2GB.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neight:
can you flash a radio via microSD or do you have to sync with PC?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Definitely; in fact, if you read the radio thread you'll see that some of the newer radios 'hang' when you flash them by AS. What that means is that the status bar will hit 99% and then just stop. For like a while. I always flash off of a card, and have never had anything weird happen with a radio. You need hard spl for any radio and security unlock for non-raph radios.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] debunker:
fat32???

how do you do this? Last questoin before i will try my first flash, because i tought i had AS on my PC, but i didn't so i will try it by a micro SD
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Have you flashed HardSPL yet?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
If you don't know how to re-format a card, you really, really should do some more reading and hold off before flashing. Seriously, none of it is that hard, but re-formatting a card is totally basic. Try googling it.

Ok, it's the noob thread, so I'll be nice and tell you how to do it, although I probably shouldn't. Hook your fuze up to your pc. When the menu pops up on the phone, select disk drive. Open up 'my computer,' and do a right click on the E: or F: drive (whichever one the usb is connected to). Now look at the menu that pops up. Select format. Select FAT32. Done. If you store anything valuable on the card, back it up first, because the card will be wiped clean during re-formatting.

You must flash hard spl first. It isn't optional. And you must flash it via active sync. That also isn't optional.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] debunker:
thanks

all right thanks, i found AC on my other computer, and now it has all worked out, i'm a proud user of EnergyROM 2.0 now, thanks for all the help;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neight:
the other day i attempted a flash via microSD with no luck:

-I have 1.90 Olinex flashed (have flashed a few other ROMs before via activesync with no issues)

-did full format (not quick format) of my 8gb microSD card

-after extracting the .rar, renamed the ROM to "RAPHIMG.nbh" and stuck the file on my microSD

-held Volume Down then hit reset with stylus.

-Tri Color boot screen loaded, stalled for 1-2 seconds, then quickly flashed "No Image File!" and hung

-Hit the reset button again with the stylus to boot previous ROM just to make sure I didn't brick my fuze

Am I missing something here? I tried this with 2 different ROMs and got the same result.

I've since flashed via Active Sync but if flashing via microSD is safer I'd prefer to do it that way from now on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Try a 1 or 2 GB card; it sounds like it's easier that way (I use a 1 G card myself).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Cal-El:
He is right, I have never been able to use any card other than a 1 gig to flash from, it has something to do with how fast it finds the image on the card! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neight:
crazy.. perhaps that should be noted on post #1 ! :eek:

i reset my fuze like 10 times trying to get that to work
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
That being said, I only have a 16GB microSDHC card, and its all I've ever used to flash. It finds the ROMs on my card quickly and with no problem. So, adding such information to the first post would likely be inaccurate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] neight:
well my friend you make me feel better.. because i have little want to purchase a 1gig card when i have an 8gb one.

maybe i just got a bum card? its a Transcend Class 6.. never had any issues with it.

i agree i guess the first post thing is prolly not smart... its just odd that other people have had the same issue
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] trademark:

mskip,

I havbe used htc phones for the past few years, started with an artemis, currently using a raphael. Always been aware of this site and always fancied flashing roms and getting the most of my phones potential. I enjoy tinkering with third party firmwares, I use rockbox on mp3 players etc and like messing about with the wide variety of hacks available for the psp...but I digress.

I wanted to say that your tutorial allowed me to flash my touch pro successfully and this thing is now a beauty (without all the vodafone garbage it came with).

Such a well presented and easy to follow tutorial allows people like me, who enjoy doing this kind of thing, but perhaps don't always have the confidence or the technical know how, to get the most out of our tech gadgets.

I appreciate all the help, time, effort and energy gone into helping others out.

Thanks man.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Griswold:
I had the exact same problem. I got some good advice several pages back, but nothing worked. Im using a 2gb sandisk card. The phone flashes fine via activesync and accesses the card normally otherwise. Its really frustrating. I finally had to give up. I did everything correctly but nothing ever happened after the "no image found" popped up for half a second and then back to tricolor. I think there are slight compatability issues with certain brands/models of cards. Its not unusual. Some cards dont work with certain Samsung phones at all for no apparent reason.

If you or anyone else finds or has a solution please let me know.

Thanks

Newb Q:

I downloaded a rom that only gives the RAPHIMG.nbh file - most I've flashed thus far include a raphaelwrapper.exe with the .nbh file. Can I just replace the nbh file in one of these ROMs with the new one I dloaded or is the raphaelwrapper.exe specific to the nbh file it comes with?

i ask because my transcend 8gb (class 4) card wont install from the SDcard either per above.

thx
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yes. You can use the RaphaelWrapper.exe from any other ROM to flash the new one. It'll work just fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Bruce Inman:
Yes, just put the .nbh file in the same folder as the wrapper and execute.

Both of you guys need to give more information.

1. Do you have hard spl flashed onto your device? Have you checked?

2. What type of computer are you trying to flash off of, what is the operating system, and do you have the anti-virus software turned off?

3. Are you using a GSM phone (not you, James Young)?

4. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM before?

This is the type of info that is needed to help you out. How can anyone tell you what you're doing wrong when you don't tell us what you're doing? Kind of tough, huh?

How to restore my HTC Touch Pro to stock OS, stock Radio and stock SPL?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

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

1. download the stock spl package from this post.

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 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 black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

+6. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.90.0000.

that's it.

WWE ROM's

As a newb; would someone explane the various ROM versions? I am looking for a ROM to flash to a new Fuze that should arrive tomorrow and what I'm finding in all these pages is Raphael ROMs rather than Fuze. Is there a difference? Is one europe and the other US?:confused:

BTW; Thanks for all the info onthis site. It's a great resource for those of us that are new to "flashing". Not like it was in the '70's
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You probably want to get a ROM that is configured towards the Fuze (the Fuze is a Raphael; that's the name for the entire family of phones). There are many available. Then you won't have to deal with keyboard conversions and the like. Are you going to be the one person on the planet using Push-to-talk? If you are, then use a ROM that has it cooked in. Otherwise, look for one that allows you to map the PTT button to do something useful instead of annoying. There are many options, and it's not really kosher to go around asking for which is best. What you're looking for is the one that's best for you (and the stock rom won't be, it sucks :D).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Griswold:
Bohnzy,

Raphael is HTC's name for this phone. It is the same thing as the Fuze. All the roms that say they are for raphael will work. Some of the non US versions have a front facing camera lens for video conferencing but that is the only difference i know of. Except AT&T renamed it and disabled several features and put in alot of their extra junk that you cant get rid of without flashing a new rom.

Btw, I live in Spokane right next door. PM me if you want with your number and i will help as much as I can. Its really pretty easy and it makes the phone way cooler.

Thanks

can someone tell me how to

1. extract my spl. i'm not too sure which one i will need to flash back to for warranty purpose, so i would like the one that my phone is loaded with, just to be safe

2. if i can flash hardspl, flash a custom rom, then flash back stock spl. will this brick the phone?

thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Just download it; it should be in the 1st post of the hard spl thread (and maybe in here, too). Make sure you get the right one; check your bootloader screen to see which one you need. Also, check you device info, and write down the ROM version, radio version and protocol (and whatever else is in there).

Sounds like a real bad idea to me. If you need to go back to the stock ROM, flashing the stock spl is the final thing on the list of things to do. Besides, sooner or later, you'll want to flash a different ROM, and do you really want to re-flash hard spl? The answer is 'No.'
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Totally agree with that DEFINITELY DO NOT FLASH STOCK SPL WITH A CUSTOM ROM. It can affect the Roms performance and if anything goes wrong with it or you get stuck in the bootloader screen then you have no chance of flashing a stock rom back to your phone.

Flash HardSPL, Flash a Custom Rom, then if you need to revert back to worranty conditions for return then you do the exact reverse (flash stock rom, flash stock radio, lastly flash stock SPL).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] blanket:
thank you to both of you

:o

flashing my atom used to be a straightforward affair...now with the hardspl and stuff, i'm quite apprehensive. i think i would wait for uspl, or at least until my warranty expires to flash a custom rom

thanks again

:o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You may be waiting a while for uspl-you should pm stepw and ask if he's planning on putting one out for the raphael. I think it's his baby, and he's the only one who's going to do it.

I wouldn't be afraid of hard spl. I've read that it caused issues with the kaiser, but no one seems to have problems with it here. It's a great safety net. You'll even see numbskulls flashing gsm roms onto their cdma raphaels and being able to recover thanks to the hard spl.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] blanket:
i did pm stepw

his reply was that it's a long process and he can't do it without the device in his hands

he recommend that i try HSPL as it's more established

lol
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
HardSPL on the kaiser is a hell of a job for a noob as you have to run a manual SPL from the phone to put it in bootloader, disconnect usb settings from activesync disconnect the usb cable and then reconnect and only after all thats been done can you flash the HardSPL via activesync. I have a similar guide on the kaiser forum as I have a kaiser and not a raphael. I get ALOT less people making mistakes on this thread and then its mainly down to user error.

HardSPL on the Raphael is a breeze as long as you can get an active connection with your computer. If you get any errors its wayy before anything has been flashed/overwritten so you can just start again and correct your mistakes til you get it right.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:

Pwned att logo splash screen

I created a new splash screen for all of you att fuze owners. This is my first attempt, but I think it turned out okay. Let me know what you think. I thought that since modding the fuze to get the most out of it is the only way to get back at at&t for the sub-par 3G network, high cost for service, and limiting some features, it was a nice reminder that with all the help from the community we are able to increase the functionality of our touch pro.
