Really quick question.. an hopefully someone can answer. I have the HTC Fuze and want the new TF3D2 on it. As discussed in the Tf3D thread in the diamond forum they are saying we need a rom build of at least 21000. I just recently flashed my phone with the leaked test ROM from ATT with the new radio bla bla bla. I Had a touch before this and also flashed a new rom to that phone but it too was a leaked version. That said, if a Rom is made specifically for the fuze do we have to flash first with HARDSPL or can we just flash that rom. I've noticed in a lot of rom threads they have different options... fuze users, non fuze users etc. I was just curious if it was for the fuze if I didnt need to run HardSPL.

How do I back up my SPL in order to restore it if I need to send the phone back for warranty?

Thanks guys

(ps I DID read through the thread as much as I could to find an answer but couldn't find anyone talking about this)

If its a Rom that is from the same regiom/ vendor as the original Rom on your phone then you dont need to flash HardSPL first, you can just upgrade the Rom to the latest version as long as its not a cooked version. HardSPL allows you to flash Roms from different regions/ vendors from your original Rom. Its always adviseable to flash a HardSPL first because if anything goes wrong with your flash and you dont have HardSPL then you might not be able to get back into the Bootloader to recover the Rom and your phone will be bricked.

If you need to flash back your original SPL for waranty purposes then read *HERE*.

I finally took the plunge and flashed an new "radio" update. the only problem I had was that it took me about 3 hours to get "RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe' to run and flash. I tried everything shown in this thread.

Then all of a sudden what ever I did differently it ran and flashed. glad i don't have to do this again. Jury is still out on the radio flash. But so far it is very good.

Glad it finally worked lol. Sometimes it helps if you offer your computer a bribe :)

Flashing back to OEM

I have been having the random hard/soft reset problems. I have been flashing the new RRE and Energy ROMs as they come out and have been having the reset problems with both.

I am going to flash back to the OEM rom and then flash back to the newest energy rom.

Do I need to reinstall Hardspl after I flash the OEM?

Should I flash back the orginal or new radio? I am using .01 right now.

Any other sugestions to fix the reset problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DaveShaw:
No. "Hard" means it cannot be overwritten with a normal flash, you have to use a SSPL to remove it.

I'm not sure on how to fix the problem... sorry - other than Hard Reset and flash a OEM rom, radio and see if they have the same prob... :)

Dave
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
That's weird about the hard resets. I've read about that happening on both ROMs, but I've used the Energy ROMs since 1.0 and never experienced it. What are you installing onto your phone? Maybe that's doing it. Or are you using UC/Sashimi? Maybe you're bringing along a bad registry setting or something like that (just a wild guess). But, jeez, do you really want to go back to the stock ROM? There are a bunch of stable, cooked ROMs out there that haven't had that problem (random hard resetting). Why not try one of those? Something like RomeOS2 1.51 should be fine, or one of the early NATF roms (or a bunch of other ones).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Green Eyed Misfit:
I was just following what I read in the other forums, most said to flash an OEM (I dont know why), Anyways I wasnt planning to stay with the OEM I just wanted to fix the reset problem so I can keep flashing!.... this place has turned me into a junkie
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Ah, that sounds reasonable. Good to know you're not insane. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Green Eyed Misfit:
Hard reset after flashing

Should you hard reset right after flashing a new ROM, Ive read some poeple doing this.... does this help?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Absolutely, if you want a bug-free existence in the new ROM. Do it after the initial boot-up when the phone prompts you to align the screen. It removes junk that may have carried over from the previous ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Green Eyed Misfit:
Thank for all the help!

Installed HardSPL, Then installed Warranty SPL now I can not get back to HardSPL

Long story short and sorry for posting in multiple forums but I am desperate now!

I had to downgrade my Fuze back to Warranty SPL. It is there now and I am keeping the device. Now I can not re-flash hardSpl to upgrade my rom.

I can get it to go to the black screen with manual and the exe but my windows installation does not recognize it - any ideas?

I really want to get 6.5 going! Please help!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Go into the bootloader and tell me the exact version of SPL it says you have now please.

Where does the installation fail? Try to be as precise as you can.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Thanks for your response!

RAPH110

SPL-1.90.0000

MicroP-Raph (LED) V13

If I run the hardSpl Exe file it blanks my screen the same thing it does if I run the SPLManual.exe from the device. The device is not recognized by windows at this point.

I had no problem getting the hardSPL on there the first time though. What other information do you need?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Did you do everything right and flash a stock rom and stock radio before reverting back to the stock spl? what rom and radio do you have on your phone now? (you can find this in the device information screen)

Are you getting a sync with your pc when connecting via usb? ohh and what operating system are you running on your pc lol i think thats it for now :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mviolist:
i'm in need of some serious help. I've been up for 13 hrs since 11pm yesterday trying to flash the new energy rom but i can't get it. I've followed the instructions for sd card flashing and computer flashing, practically memorized them, and still nothing. I've been all over xda looking up and trying every boot and flash method in the raphael section. I even went through several pages of a google search. It amazes me that i haven't bricked my phone yet. Flahing roms on my hermes and wizard never gave me any trouble. But my Fuze just wants to make me feel like a noob i guess. I've been trying, posting here is a last resort.

when trying to flash from the computer my raphael will either go to a black screen, go into bootloader with the status bar stuck at 0%, or bootload a grey "loading...." page and freeze there. My computer will give me a "ERROR [260]:CONNECTION" after any of these happenings. When trying to flash from the Sd card after formatting it to fat32 and putting the RAPHIMG.nbh on the card i go into bootload but only for a second if even that long. immediately a grey screen pops us saying "this operation will delete all your personal data. and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel"

just a bit more detail:

Raph110

SLP 1.95.0000

Rom: 1.95.502.5 WWE

Radio 1.02.25.32

Protocol 52.39c.25.22

computer: windows vista home premium 32 bit
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
That is the problem I think. I have NATF 4.4 rom and I was going to flash a 6.5 rom but I had left my warranty nbh file on my desktop. When I launched RUU to flash the 6.5 rom it flashed the small nbh from the stock spl. That is where I screwed up.

So I have stock SPL and a custom rom. Stock ATT radio. Yes I can active sync and connect via usb to my Windows XP SP3 machine.

I want to be able flash freely again. Did I fluck it up big time?

Thanks again for any assistance you can lend! I really have gotten addicted to flashing! I am going through withdrawal!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
I put the file RAPHIMG.nbh on the root of my fat32 memory card. I hold down the power button as well as volume down. I then hit the reset button with the stylus tip. Continue holding power and volume down. Boot loader mode will start (make sure the usb cable is not connected) then the image should be found on the card and flashing will occur. If it can not find the file it will tell you it can not find the image.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Go here and try to flash a stock rom that matches your carrier (HTC or AT&T) then you can try flashing your hardspl again if that works.

Are you not getting any sync with your pc then? Im not sure if you screwed it up but you certainly didnt help matters lol. If that doesnt work I will ask around and see if theres a solution.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
You NEED to flash HardSPL to your phone before trying to upgrade the Rom. Please follow all steps in order or you can end up bricking your nice phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
I am downloading the stock att rom now. I just dont want to get stuck on the stock att rom. @ least now this custom rom is awesome but I would like to be able to go back and forth.

I will not be able to do the flash until late tonight anyway but if you find out any other info about my situation let me know.

Thanks again - no one else even bothered to answer me! :) U R Da man!

BTW: Is there a way to flash HardSPL from the SD card?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Guess you forgot to memorize the part about Hard SPl. Like skip said, you have to flash it first. Be glad that your phone protected itself from you. :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
No sir. This is taken directly from the HardSPL thread:

2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!

(emphasis mine)

It'd definitely be easier if you could, but the Wrapper that flashes the SPL package is unique, and can only do what it needs to do from the PC, apparently (I guess that's also why the PC has to have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Thanks Captain - what would you do in my situation? You know what would the captain do if someone flashed his hardspl back to the original spl while a custom rom was loaded?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wmserver:
You might want to flash to stock AT&T full ROM (with SPL, Radio and OS).

Then, when you get ActiveSync to connect to your device, you can flash OliNex's SPL to replace the stock SPL.

That might be a good start. Just my $.02.

Also, is your Fuze a warranty replacement? If so, maybe it's not Security unlocked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Thanks for your reply WmServer.

My device does have a stock radio, and it CAN connect to active sync.

I just got it back from warranty replacement - I accidentally flashed the warranty stock spl over my hardSPL'ed NATF 4.4 Fuze.

I will probably wind up flashing the stock ATT OS tonight but I really do not want to get stuck with that OS. I would rather stick with my current ROM, but if I don't get a better answer that is what I will do.

Anyone else wanna throw in their 2 cents?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mviolist:
that's been the issue. when i tried to flash hard spl, i'd get the error screen (screen shot below). My screen goes black and the computer loses connection with the phone. i've also followed your side notes under the h-spl instructions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Is the hard spl in the same folder as the Energy ROM and all that other stuff? That might be your problem. You need to have just the hard spl and the associated wrapper in the same folder, with nothing else there (unless it came in the .rar file, but I doubt there's anything else there). And if you're on Vista (which is my guess), you need to search for the tricks for flashing off of Vista. It's trickier than flashing from XP.

Edit: now that I look at it more, it's hard for me to tell what's in that folder-maybe the energy ROM isn't there. But jeez, there's a lot of stuff in there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wmserver:
Make sure your anti-virus program is disabled as some maybe block your USB connection.

Also, you may want to right click and "Run As Administrator" to run as a privilege user. Good luck.

I believe for OliNex's HardSPL, there's a small cab that needs to be install on the phone before flashing the Hard SPL.

Check with OliNex and read the thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
You know, its funny you would ask that, because just yesterday, I was going to flash back to stock, but I also had the .nbh of my stock SPL in the folder, and it instead flashed that. However in my case, when I put the phone in bootloader to try and figure out what happened, I still had HardSPL. As I understand it, HardSPL was designed to not be overwritten when flashing.

In your case, I agree that I would flash back to stock (because you can flash any official ROM with the stock SPL), and then try to install HardSPL again. It should work, for the simple fact that, when you originally installed HardSPL, your phone would've been stock anyway :rolleyes:. I hope it works out for you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Seeming I can live with this rom for a little bit I PM'ed Oilnex and hopefully she can help! But isn't that strange that yours did not overwrite and mine did? I used this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=110582&d=1220406410 from the first page of this thread for warranty repair. Maybe this is a special version that will overwrite itself? Is that the version you had?

Thanks for your well wishes!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'm sure that, by their powers combined, Olipro & cmonex will be able to assist you.

Actually, the version I used is the one I extracted from the Fuze Stock ROM myself, because the Fuze ROM that came with my phone included 1.95 SPL, not 1.90. Perhaps that is the difference, then.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Really? I sent my phone back to att with 1.90 on it. I hope they dont charge me for that!

Something else to worry about :) Thanks again and I will let you know how it goes. I did pm her already but if anyone knows her or cmonex can you point them towards this thread?

I just can't wait to get back to flashing!

Hi all,

I want to put Hard SPL on my TP phone to, but having a little problem when trying to flash it. I sync my phone and start up the RUU, after passing all the warnings etc its starting the procedure to flash but than gives me an error that there is something wrong with my USB connection and that I have to check it out. I cant see the problem because yesterday I flashed an original ROM (5.05) to my phone without any problems.

Anybody knows what I can check out? tnx all!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Did you try copying the SSPL Manual file to the device and running it to put it in the black screen and then running the RUU? Also make sure any antivirus is disabled before you start as it might interefere with the flashing process.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] timberman123:
Thanks mskip, I tried the SSPLmanual.exe and it worked like a charm. Now trying to get the new Energy rom 2.0 and see how it goes. Thanks for your help:)

Ur welcome :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mbomberz1:
I can not thank you enough! Like many others i was worried to take this on, i love my phone and turning it into an expensive paperweight had me worried. But at the same time, my ATT Fuze is slow as crap. Its really frustrating as you all know waiting for it to do EVERYTHING. It feels 100% different now. I used the EnergyRom 1.7 just to try it out for the speed it claimed, and its true, much faster than before. I have this feeling ill be messing with my phone forever now.. o well :) Thanks again! I really appreciate the work here.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
Thanks for this thread. I was able to get HardSpl installed without any problems using Vista 64 bit version.

One question I have though is this. Since many of the cooked ROMS do not have radios in them, if I flash a ROM without a radio, is the radio that was already installed still there or does a radio always have to be flashed after a ROM upgrade?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
If you do not flash a radio, you will retain the same radio you had prior to flashing. You do not have to flash a radio along with a ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AskTheAdmiN:
Just flashed back to stock - trying hard-spl again. now. I will keep you posted.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] psycho89:
First of all, thank you very much for your guide. Over the past week I've been flashing different versions of the EnergyRom with no problem. To try out a different ROM, I decided to take the eliteRC3 for a spin before reverting back to the energyRom.

My problem is that when I flash a new Rom now, this screen,the "HTC Raphael" screen from the first screenshot posted here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471958

keeps showing up on all the ROMs at the time where the Radio and Rom versions are shown.

Now I don't know if this is supposed to be there in every ROM since I didn't pay much attention to it earlier but I wanted to know if there is some way to revert to what the current ROM should display at that screen.

Thank you again.

LOADING....

Okey, just formatted my memorycard to FAT 32. I put the RAPHIMG.nbh on it and softreset. Tricolour comes on and then a white background with the word LOADING... in blue at the top. How long is it suppose to say loading? been stuck at this screen for almost 5 minutes now... ANYBODY???

PS: New to this flashing stuff! =)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] l33ch:

Thanks 'mskip', for the 'flashing your first Raphael ROM you n0ob!' :D

Can't be enough post like that if you ask me.

So... Thank you!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
It should take about 5 seconds. Did you flash hard spl already (through active sync)?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mac.mackan:
No, i forgot that. I guess that is kinda important to to first yeah?

As I said. I'm so new to this stuff =) But I wanna learn.

Tnx for the tip. will Hard spl now..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
To my understanding SSPL emulates the original bootloader so that the HardSPL can be flashed. This happens at step5 so if you follow the steps and your screen doesnt go black as it should then you need to copy and run the SSPLManual.exe program. If you follow the instructions and everything goes as it should then you have no worries. You wont brick your phone if it gets stuck at step5 so dont worry too much :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Are you running WindowsXP or Vista? Try copying SSPLManual.exe to your device and run it to take you to the black screen and then try running the [FONT=&quot]RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe again and see if that method works.

[/FONT]
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Your HardSPL flash went through ok?

So you are extracting the .nbh and .exe files from your .rar file using winrar, then renaming the .nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh and copying it to your storage card (formatted to fat32) then entering the bootloader to flash the Rom. Is that correct?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
XP is prefered but try updating WMDC to the latest version and see if that works.. If that doesnt help then flash the HardSPL from a computer running Windows XP then you can flash Roms and Radios via the microSD Card Method.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aaswouw:
Hello,

This probably is a stupid question but hey, it's a newby thread right? :D

At the moment I'm not interested in doing a ROM update, I just want to upgrade my Radio. I know I need HardSPL for this upgrade to work.

What I'm wondering: will the installation of HardSPL cause a hard reset? (or will entering the bootloader do so?)

Doing a hard reset is something I want to prevent at any cause, but I do want a radio upgrade.

Is that possible?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Can you boot into your Rom and sync with the computer at all?

If you can then you MIGHT be able to fix your mistake. Cmonex has made a CDMA HardSPL but im really not sure if you can even flash it after you have flashed the wrong version. If you can sync then try this:

Taken from PPCGEEKS forum (originally created by cmonex)

0a) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

0b) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx

1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.

2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!

3) run Raphael_CDMA_HSPL_037.exe.

4) follow steps and check on the device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.

5) it should go to tricolour screen now and say 0.25.C-SSPL.

6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.37.CMONEX

[FONT=&quot]NOTE: If you have problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPLManual.exe from the download to the device and run it. Once the screen is black, run RUU manually from the PC.[/FONT]

If this doesnt work and your phone truely is bricked then dont throw it away im sure someone will come up with a method to unbrick it soon as its been done on other phones.

Good luck, let me know how it goes. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Yep we welcome stupid questions here haha :p

Flashing a HardSPL will not Hard Reset your phone or delete any saved data on your Rom but its never 100% guarenteed (I have to cover my own back lol). It will merely update the HardSPL so you can flash custom Roms or Radios. Im sure everything will be fine but do so at your own risk my friend :)

And remember if you want to flash a non-raphael Radio then you WILL need to *UNLOCK* your device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RezzZ:
@aaswouw

make a backup just in case it does go work. with spritebackup you can also backup your registry etc., a plus compared to PIMbackup, but if you only want to backup email/sms/contacts/calendar and specific files and or folders I suggest PIMbackup (much faster)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] metwally:
OK,

I ran the CDMA HSPL, it made an error while attempting, so i ran into the boot mode and started the CDMA HSPL, (this made a problem: the phone didn't start and whenever i reboot it comes to the tricolor screen and writes a ROM update error please try again later) - I was shocked, my phone will not work anymore, i stayed cool and connected the USB cable again and Flashed the Raph100 HSPL, the one i used before, the phone came back to work,

For your updates, yesterday after i flashed the HSPL (The Supposingly wrong one) i further installed a new ROM, and the phone worked with it, BUT i have a proble, which is it cannot connect to the internet throuth Vodafone, it connect only through wirless connections, and this is a deal for me :).

But i noticed something, that the member (RezzZZ)'s signature states that he has my same fone and model, and flashed the same HSPL,

I want to know what difference will it make whether it is CDMA or GSM.

i use a SIM card.
