HTC Fuze HardSPL Disconnects

I've followed all directions in this post to the "t" and each time RUU blacks the HTC Fuze device, disconnects from the PC (Windows 7, 32-bit), and the process eventually aborts with Recovery screen, error '262' communication errors. I've followed manualSPL with same results. Each time I can reset my device (stylus reset) and it boots back normally, however I cannot get the device to hardSPL. I've read all the threads posted here in regards to turning power options off, advanced connection off, put device in rice (joke, but someone did post doing this), etc. and still cannot hardSPL. I've even tried to perform from another computer (Windows 7, 32-bit) thinking drivers were the issue, but still same results. I'm an experienced techie, but no clue here. Help please.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr.Sir:
Hi!

I would like to flash Energy's latest max sense rom to my Raphael T7272 GSM and I have 3 points to follow:

1. Flash Hard SPL

2. Use Test 29, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670358

3. Flash the ROM via USB in bootloader which loads automatically after step 2

Does it sound good? It does to me but HSPL couldn't even get passed 0% because of "Error 260: Connection" and I had to cancel. I tried the manual SPL file in the HSPL thread and thought about flashing from the black screen but I didn't dare as my Activesync (or more precisely mobility center in W7) didn't see my phone and the RUU didn't recognize my current ROM or any information.

How should I do? I have understood that flashing ROMs can never brick your phone because you can always reach the bootloader and flash from there but the HSPL can brick it because it is the bootloader itself and if that one gets corrupted, I'm out of luck right? Except if I could desolder the chip and find a machine which is able to read and write to it.

Best Regards Mr.Sir

You are well read and know the correct steps great !

What you can do is as Win 7 is quite a bugger !

1) You can try a vista/xp machine ( it would be great ! )

2) Make sure all the USB connections are enabled and it says connected/syncd.

3) Make sure you have .net3.5 or higher on your PC.

4) if all of the above does not make your phone HSPL'd then what you can do it go to the bootloader and then connect the USB then at the bottom white are it should say "USB" then you can go ahead and flash HSPL ( through RUU ofcourse ) This should work.

But i'm not responsible for any bricks at your own risk.

Not discouraging you but HSPL flashing can brick your phone i.e. when you flash a CDMA Hspl on GSM or wrong device HSPL it kills your original HSPL that means your phone can't boot into OS.

Also incomplete flash of HSPL can kill the original one.

But the 4th step will work for you if nothing else.

Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr.Sir:
Thank you so much for your answer :) I am feeling a bit unsure now after have read this:

"Not discouraging you but HSPL flashing can brick your phone i.e. when you flash a CDMA Hspl on GSM"

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=410150

I downloaded HSPL from this thread and I guess it's for GSM?

I also got a question about the 4th option, the bootloader is the 3 color screen or the black one I get from running the manual SPL file from the above posted thread?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
No no no i was just explaining the different ways a HSPL can be dead, you have downloaded the perfectly fine HSPL, and bootloader is the tri color screen go to that screen and then connect the USB cable in a few seconds you will see the last line ( in a white area ) will say "USB" then run the HSPL.exe/RUU ( the same thing )

The CDMA thing was because some noobs in hurry have killed their devices flashing a wrong HSPL or often flashing a CDMA ROM on GSM devioces etc etc.

Must appreciate you did your research pretty well before posting.

Go ahead i say.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr.Sir:
I went straight for the 4th option because this is my most reliable computer, my other 3 do work properly but have crashed randomly once in a while and I do not want to risk my phone even though I have considered getting a new one (namely the Toshiba K01).

However option 4 didn't work, the process began and I saw some improvement, i.e. a %-bar on my phone too which I didn't get the first time but it was stuck at 0% on both the computer and the phone for 1(?) minute so I went to the bathroom and when I came back I was told "Error connection: 262".

I had to go through the recovery program and my heart was beating like never before, but I am glad to say that it recovered properly. ( and my heart too :p )

I don't know what I have left to try though? Perhaps "Run as admin" when starting the RUU? Disable antivirus and firewall? I have also read something about "Soft-SPL" which is almost the same thing but only temporary and it shouldn't be used for flashing ROMs, just helps flashing Hard-SPL?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Its the bugging win 7 i'm sure, once your phone goes into the flash phase there is a loss of USB ( when there is a black out ) and during that moment i'm sure because of win7 it looses connection and on reconnection it does not find the correct driver !

Thats common with win 7

a few ages ago same problem , the user solved it using a XP/vista machine not sure....

Its nothing to do with anti virus/firewall at all.......

Why not borrow a machine which has XP/Vista...

DO NOT flash HSPL using a machine which conks of unexpectedly..

maybe you can get a XP/Vista ( will not mention the sources here for obvious reasons but i'm sure you understand..) and install it on this machine...and then flash HSPL will take awhile but trust me its worth it.

SSPL is not developed for Raphael, as far as i recall it was there for devices like elf, nike vogue, kaiser... maybe for older devices....

any ways thats not a option...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr.Sir:
Okay, gonna see if I can dualboot XP and Win7, but that won't happen today. I am very grateful for your help and will give an update when I have made an advancement.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
No problem, feel free to PM/email me.

Dualboot would be nice, flashing a raphael with a custom ROM really makes a Raphael shine ( for most people, still some like the Stock ROM better ! ) But still.

Anyways cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Mr.Sir:
I found this:

*NOTE* Doing this on Windows Vista for the first time will show the below error message, however, Vista will eventually manage to find the correct driver for this. I was almost scared half to death watching my phone fading to a black screen and the below error popped up at the same time! Now you know.. :)

“ERROR [260] : CONNECTION”, basically my PC has lost connection with my phone.

Success during second attempt. The update process took less than 2 minutes.

http://selfmod.net/how-to-hard-spl-a-htc-diamond/

After my first attempt at doing it in windows mobile 6.1 it gave me the 260 error and cancelled the procedure but right after that it said it installed a usb driver.

Second attempt was made in the bootloader which gave me 262 instead. Perhaps I should try to do it again in the winmo OS?

I'm not sure if dualbooting Win7 and XP is a good idea to do on the same drive (with different partitions though), I have read about interference between the two :S

If thats an option....

Please post in the correct forum ( Q&A Forum ) and there are no 6.5 official upgrades from HTC/Carriers for the Touch Pro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jcrelia:
Mr. Sir please let me know if you find a resolution, as I'm having the same problem. I've tried Vista with no luck and tried from bootloader, but RUU did not recognize the current version so I'm not about to continue. Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
You must have net 3.5 and WMDC the latest one.

It should recogonise.

Also enable the USB connection in the setting on WMDC, and make sure the USB cable is good.

There is a flashing problem, but no recogonition problem on Visat/7.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jcrelia:
madnish30, I have .net v3.5 SP1, WMDC v6.1.6965 (32-bit) and USB connection is enabled. Cable is new and syncs fine. I'm still having problems with disconnect after black screen. Any more tips?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
It is to do with the OS... please try XP..

also try the bootloader method i told Mr. Sir above... ( a few posts behind.. )

Will it still work if I have Microsoft .NET Framework 4 installed rather than 3.5?

I'm following this guide to install the energy rom on my touch pro T7272. Its currently flashed to 3 but is unlocked and I'm using my optus sim. Will it still recognize my sim card after I flash the phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
I would think so the best way to find out is to try it and see :)

Mark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Flashing HardSPL doesnt affect the sim card at all and any custom Roms will have all the carrier setup files that a stock Rom will have so everything should work fine with your current sim card.

Great guide, i already flash my phone, thanks a lot!

Just one question, to flash a radio i need to remove SIM and SD cards??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] axe_1337:
I have tried flashing a energy rom, but the USB connection keeps failing,.

Around the 20 % I keep getting a V0X36 error

and it keeps beeing in bootloader, al;so the USB connection uses

HTC sync but isnt always reconized.

Due the USB connections keeps failing, I am thinking of flashing through a mem card. Can this still be done?? Or am I too late?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] axe_1337:
So what you are saying is that I can get rid of my sim lock due a flash??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dlesher:
sim card

Does it matter if you leave the sim card in or out when you flash radios?

First off I'm new to this flashing rom thing. I already did the Raphael HardSPL on the phone and downloaded the NotATreoFan's HTC Fuze / Touch Pro v2.3 ROM to desktop on my computer, but how exactly do i get it onto my phone, the sticky says "Run the Raphael_RUU.exe from the Roms Folder" but when i double click the rru i get an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device,path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." can someone please help me out with this.

Thats what I meant! Thanks!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Sorry I have no experience of using that Rom. Try asking the question in the Roms Thread you should have more people able to help you there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bottlefed1:
thanks im doing that also but they are not answering my question at all at least at this thread im getting suggestions
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Ok well if they arent helping let me think.

First of all can you go into your Bootloader and make sure the HardSPL is corrcect:

[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**

If thats correct then try flashing the Rom via the microSD Card method:

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Flashing Via MicroSD Card

1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do).

2. Download your prefered Rom from the Raphael Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer.

3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh

4. Copy the RAPHIMG.nbh file to your microSD Card.

5. Plug the microSD Card into the phone.

6. 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.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to start flashing.

8. Once phone finishes flashing and gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET

[/FONT][FONT=&quot] (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)[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] 9. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom.

Let me know how that goes :)[/FONT]
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bottlefed1:
di i need to copy the nhb file to the phone and not the sd card
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
No you copy it to the Root of your microSD Card. Have you formatted the storage card with Fat32 using the pc? That might be a reason why the file isnt being picked up. Is the HardSPL version on your phone correct?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bottlefed1:
yes the hardspl is correct i restarted my computer and not im not getting the message when i try to load the custome rom but it still doesnt load which is wierd
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Have you tried reformatting your card with fat32 first using the computer? Dont format using the phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bottlefed1:
no i cant do that i dont have a micro sd reader.

i have another thought.Would it be possible to take the exe. file from one like the romeo and the nbh file from the natf and try to flash that way or would that brick my phone
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
All Rom update utility .exe files should be the same and theres even a link on my guide to download it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=410761

Download the Raphael Custom RUU attachment from the link and unzip it to the same folder as your Roms .nbh file and try flashing again. You wont brick your device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] benze550:
PLEASE HELP

i tired to install and followed the instruction but, when my phone turns black during the process, the program automatically goes to 100% and it doesnt install it to my phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] je303:
I was having the same problem so I tried fashing the 2.2V of NATF's ROM first & it worked. I am going to try and flash the 2.3V next to see if it will take.

would it be ok if I took the natf 2.3 .nbh file and used RaphaelWrapper as the exe file or is that the same as using the custom ruu

Opera wont load, applications freeze up?

Thanks again mskip. ROM upgrades ran smoothly.

Guys, now a different problem. Patience please as i explain in some detail:

My Touch Pro was originally O2 so had already been unlocked & flashed with both HardSPL 1.90.

To change to English, I had phone flashed with:

ROM version: 1.66.405.1 WWE

Radio Version: 1.02.25.11

Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17U .

Opera refused to install during the customization. (Junulrik, i notice that you have also had this problem). I had to soft reset the device.

Attempt to install opera from inside windows gave error like: "Cannot install Opera. ROM version not valid".

Also tried another ROM (below) with the same results

ROM version: 1.90.405.1 WWE

Radio Version: 1.02.25.19

Protocol Version: 52.33.25.17U.

Installing standalone Opera & Remote desktop applications worked, but the phone -images, video & sound now freeze up totally, with the speaker emitting a constant humming sound. I have to soft reset to restart phone.

I now tried a custom ROM: ISO-8859-1''Raphael_CustomRUU_v1.2

This also worked with the phone applications loading faster than the other above 2 Signed ROMs (opera as well as remote desktop bundled here installs. but no Adobe reader). But the freeze-up problem still occurs.

Also the phone ring sound fails on incoming calls, and usually with connected calls you cannot here the called/calling person. A restart or soft reset always corrects this, but only for a moment. I have also done a factory reset repeatedly.

This problem renders this new beautifully featured & expensive device practically unusable.

Any Ideas or experience? Guys please help .. I think its a software problem.

Junulrik; have you been able to solve your similar problem, and how?

Can this be caused by the initial flashing of the Hard SPL?

Can one repeat the flashing of the Hard spl?

You can try it. Its just a version thats been patched by cmonex. Give it a go and let me know if it worked.

thnx
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
can you switch on your phone at all ?

if yes then you surely can reach the bootloader and confirm weather HSPL is flashed, once its done and confirmed please flash the ROM, but if HSPL is not there you need to flash it again.

And if you can not ut your phone at all, or go to the bootloader, your phone is bricked a.k.a. dead forever.

Hey kapil,

As far as our question regarding the Choice of ROMs, that could not have been answered, as different people like different ROMs, so you have to try a few and discover which one do you like.

And welcome to the world of flashing, read well and you should not be in problem.

Help with Wm6.5

Hi guys,

Yes, i am a noob :) Yes, i read the stuff arround the forums since 2 days.. But mu problem is: I have a HTC touch Pro 1 (Raphael ) with Wm 6.1. I want to put on it wm6.5...so i know the procedure..but i do not find the default ROM for it.. So far i understood, there are many ROM's arround, cooked by very smart guys...but...can i try first of all a ROM without any changes? the default one? Where can i find it, because i searched, and searched and... Sorry for asking, but it is very confuzing reading hundreds of pages more or less accurate.. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] madnish30:
Hey mike,

welcome to XDA.

First f let me tell you what you are looking for is called a stock ROM.

Sadly there are no Stock 6.5 ROMs for the Raphael; as the carriers/HTC never updated it to 6.5 !

So you have to try one of the "Cooked ROMs" i'm sure you will love them.

Try the ones which mention simple/stock like etc etc in the thread title if you want near stock experiance.

Just try a bunch of them and you will surely fall in love with atleast one of them.

Don't forget to flash HSPL before flashing a custom ( cooked ) ROM.

Read the guide well.

Any issues post here :)

Cheers.
