[FONT=&quot]You must use a windows based pc if you need to flash HardSPL. The term [/FONT][FONT=&quot]"Your Phone MUST be Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!"[/FONT][FONT=&quot] just means plugging the usb cable between the phone and pc and making sure its synched. if you have HardSPL on your phone then you can flash your chosen Rom via the microSD Card method to overcome Mac incompatability. Proceed as follows:

1. Confirm you have HardSPL flashed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex. (if you dont have HardSPL you must complete step2 first)

**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]

2. If you have HardSPL then you can proceed to step4 and flash your Rom via microSD Card.

If you dont have HardSPL on your phone and you get an error when you run the program from a pc then try using a different pc or read *THIS* article for a possible fix.

Manila is the Graphical User Interface with the Tabs at the bottom to give you different screens such as the Home screen with the clock, the contacts screen and the weather screen among others. If you flash a version without Manila then you will have a blank Today screen that you can install your own plugins to.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zweet16:
Ok, I confirmed I have HardSPL but I don't have a microSD. I am syncing from my Windows PC now. Do you know why I am getting the error message? The error message appears on my "real" Windows PC. (also on VMWare on my Mac.)

EDIT: Now I am trying on my Dad's laptop and when I try to run the ROM.exe file it says I need a version of the .NET Framework, please contact my application developer... What's this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kona88:
Sorry for the newb quesion, but I can't seem to find an answer. Do I need to reflash Hardspl every time I want to flash a new rom, or can I just flash the new rom without hardspl after I did it the first time?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AllTheWay:
You only have to flash HardSPL once :)

lol ok you either didnt read the beginning of the tutorial or its not clear enough to understand :p I will make it more clearer for future reference.

I also read this in the Elite ROM topic, but can anyone explain to me why I need to hard reset the device? clearly it's allready been reset as I need to reconfigure the stylus and I end up with a clean rom without any mail/sms and programs. Why reset the device again?

Also, I've never removed my sim and or msd card while flashing. No problems so far.... Why should we remove these cards before flashing?

Just trying to understand :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
The steps you questioned are not essential and 90% of the time will have no impact on the flash but are are recommended for extra safety. I will explain:

Most Roms clear all the memory after flashing which is the same as a Hard Reset but the one you choose to flash might not and an extra Hard Reset is always recommended to make sure you start with a fresh clean Rom. It just makes sure that everything has been wiped and nothing is left hanging around. I would always Hard Reset after flashing anyway just to be safe.

Removing your Sim Card has been recommended just in case after you finish flashing and the Rom is going through the setup stage, you get a call or text that interferes and might cause problems.

Similarly removing the microSD Card isnt essential but just stops anything that might be hanging around on your card from being installed after a flash by accident.

Its always better to be safe and do everything possible to protect your phone when flashing. Hope that cleared everything up for you :)

Here is another non computer guy noob question for ya. I downloaded a new rom. Thanks NATF. However my computer does not recognize the .rar file and won't open it. What do I need to do about this so I can get going? Hard Spl has been flashed so im otherwise ready to rock.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sunil23:
Are you asking what a rar file is? Rar is just another way to compress files, much like a zip file. Download winrar to extract the contents of the rar file and you'll be ready to go!

Stupid Vodafone

Hi,

Thanks for this brilliant step by step guide - I was a bit scared in places, but it's not bricked which is the main thing!

The reason for my reply - is that I flashed my TouchPro with the wonder Elite ROM (which I will donate to! ;) ) and it's great no problems except..................THAT STUPID VODAFONE START UP GIF STILL APPEARS!!! :mad:

It has dissappeared on exit though - which is weird.

Any ideas please?

Thank you

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
I have loads of ideas lol :p

If you mean the first screen that pops up when you turn your phone on then thats called the splash screen.

You can change it to any image you want to. Go *HERE* and follow the instructions in the guide to make a file that you flash to update the splash screen.

If you would like me to make something up for you then drop me a pm :)

Great tutorial, thank you.

I had one question on your note:

NOTE 2: Anyone having 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.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by "...problems with the device entering SSPL automatically.." What is SSPL, and at what point should the device enter that automatically?

Thank you.

No image file on 1.90.OliNex while flashing from SDCard

Well. I crashed my german o2 Diamond Pro Raphael yesterday while flashing "RaphaelReconstructedHTC_1.90.407.4_GER.rar" found elsewhere. Now my Raphael only boots to the boot logo and than it hangs (forever). (I also made HTCSplash to alter the boot-logo, but this worked fine. The crash came after I flashed the "RaphaelReconstructedHTC_1.90.407.4_GER.rar".

Bootload ist shown as 1.90.OliNex, but when I try to reanimate my Raphael with Flash-from-SDCard everytime I just see the message "No image file". I think I have a right RAPHIMG.nbh on my SDCard. What could be wrong ?

Yep, that solved it on my Windows laptop. ROM installed and working good. I didn't try to flash it with my VMWare althought I did install the .NET update on VMWare to try for future flashes. Kind of annoying that some versions of Windows did not tell me why it wasn't opening my .exe files.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
We don't know which ROM you flashed, so that makes the Q even harder to answer. But, since you asked, I love GScroll. I bought it (5 clams) the day it came out, and the guys at MobileSRC (dot com) have made it better and better with each new beta. Lay out the dough, and get GScroll. It makes scrolling around a web-page much easier, it allows you to scroll between active programs and also launch applications, all using the capacitative pad on the bottom of the phone (just like a scratch pad on a laptop). I personally read a lot (using Mobipocket), and it would be a huge PITA to read a book w/o GScroll.

Otherwise, go through the Raphael software forum and the Hackers forum, and download and try out every cab that looks interesting. Done that myself, too. (I really like hFlash-it's a keeper.)

I have used the search and cant seem to find the answer,If I want to put my fuze back to stock,do i have to just run the stock spl and that will do or do i need to find the ROM also? I have seen where there is a chart with stock ROMs but my version isn't on there,my radio is a 1.02.25.32 which there is no link to the OS for that version.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Go *HERE* to download an official ATT Rom with the 1.02.25.32 Radio.

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.

Error 202

Hi, I am trying update the rom on my AT&T Fuze for the first time I cannot get past step 4 under Flash HardSPL. Each time I click Next in the final screen, the progress bar comes up but never goes past 0%, then after about 30 seconds, it fails with Error 202 and tells me to check the USB connection. The USB connection is good and ActiveSync is running and Connected. Do I have to do anything before running HardSPL? I've tried disabling all running applications and don't even touch the mouse after clicking Next, but I get the same error every time. Help!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
You can only flash Roms that have been designed for your phone. The Windows Mobile version might be the same between different phones but drivers are different and it wont work. Stick to the Roms in the Raphael Forum and you will be fine they are all very good Roms and will improve the look and feel of your phone :)

Haha thats kinda funny.. :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
What operating system is on your pc?Have you tried using a different usb port (preferably one thats connected directly to your motherboard). If that doesnt help then try uninstalling and reinstalling your activesync program.If that doesnt work then try using a differnt pc just to get HardSPL on your phone. After thats on you can use your microSD Card to flash everything else. Hope one of those suggestions helps you.

I would assume its a stock HTC WWE Rom but its hard to tell because a stock rom could have been modified by a chef. It seems like you have HardSPL on your phone already so its upto you if you wish to reflash it, you shouldnt have any problems. Again its impossible to tell whether you have a custom Rom on your phone, the best way of telling is to look at the device information in the settings or to look at the installed apps for things that wouldnt normally be on a stock Rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Well, if you don't get an annoying whoooshing and flying 3G symbol after a soft re-set, then it's probably a cooked rom. Also, look at the list of apps. If you have a bunch of stock att junk, like att mall, then it's probably stock (especially look and see if there are a bunch of game demos like Ms. Pac Man).

My guess is that the previous owner was using cooked roms, and then re-flashed a stock rom before selling you the phone. If the bootloader screen says you have hard spl, then there's really no reason to re-flash it. Is it also security unlocked? It will say it on the top of the bootloader screen if you are.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Well the problem is its a fuze, and the keboard is realy messed up up. I'm thinking its a touch pro rom on it, (it also says touch pro - not for sale test purposes only - when it starts up. The keys are all wrong, and I dont see a single ATT&T logo anywhere. Thats why I want to flash a proper fuze rom on it. As for it being security enable, I am using it on the Fido/rogers network in Canada. I'm assuming its security unlocked? Or am I wrong?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Well, the only way to check if it's security unlocked is just to go into bootloader and see if it says it is (should be at the top). The security unlock let's you flash non-raphael radios, but with hard spl, you can go for all the ROM's in this forum (gsm roms only). You're using it on a different network, so that means it must be sim unlocked; the previous owner may have run the raphael unlocker, but it's also possible that he/she just got the unlock code from ATT or htccode. Read the raphael unlocker sticky for more info on the different types of unlocking.

There's a cab that fixes the keyboard, assuming it's set up for a touch pro. It's weird that yours is messed up, if it's an att rom. Here's a link. But, if you're using an ATT rom, I'd think that a hard reset would fix the keyboard as well (don't know if you've done that yet or not, or if you want to, but it may be worth doing).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Sorry for my noobness, what is the different between hardSPL and security unlock? I thought if its hardSPL + unlocked you can change your rom + radio? I dont have any special simcard or anythng, I just pop in my default fido/rogers simcard and its good to go. I got the tri colour boot screen, it says:

RAPH110

SPL1.9-.Olinex

MicroP-Raph (led) v13

MicroP-Rapg (Key) v5

PSOC-Raph Stage_Cut v0x36

That is all that it says.... So Can i change any radio and roms? Is my device security unlocked + hardSPL ready?

I really appreciate the help you guys are giving me, I just dont want to brick this phone :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You can flash to any of the roms here, and to any of the Raphael radios listed in the radio thread or wiki. It looks like you don't have the security unlock, so don't flash a non-raphael radio (like the blackstone or quartz or diamond).

Are you sure it doesn't say SPL-1.90.0linex? That's what it oughta say if it has the right hard spl (I think you mis-typed and left out the 9).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Yes you caught that really quick lol, I changed it. It does say 1.9 olinex. So I have established I have hardSPL. How do I get a security unlock since I already have simunlock?

Thanks again. I checked that unlock sticky post, but its not clear about the difference of simunlock and security unlock? I thought it was only 1 type of unlocking lol. Not to mention CID lock? I would like to get security unlock so if I install a diamond rom (its the phone offered by rogers in Canada) because its the radio used here in Canada.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
You've got to buy the unlocker (see the thread, it's something like raphael-unlocker.com). It takes 10-15 minutes to run the flash. If I were you, I'd read through that thread pretty carefully. If you want to use a Diamond Radio, then you need the security unlock (you can't run a Diamond rom, though, only a raphael rom. The language is a bit confusing, the radios are rom's, too. Clearly, you don't want a Diamond operating system, because how would you use the keyboard? Or the sd card?). Sim unlock lets you use different networks on an att phone; security unlock lets you use different radios (to a point; check the radio thread-if you use a rose radio you brick your phone, from what I recall). CID unlock (carrier id) is a bit out-dated, from what I understand. Hard spl basically does the same thing as the CID unlock-it allows you to flash different roms. The unlocker gives you CID unlock as well, but it doesn't seem to be that important, since you'll already have the hard spl.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Okay thanks a lot for all your information. I messaged Olipro, hopefully he can send me the security unlocker. I really appreciate your help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
just to give a quick update I did change the radio on the phone just now. So I believe that confirms I do have hardSPL. Thanks for all your help guys, but please correct me if im wrong lol.

stuck at HardSPL

Hi,

I have problem with flashing ROM, when I am cradled with AS and run RaphaelWrapper (with ruu_signed.nbh in directory), everything seem to be ok, system restart, hard spl will run but stuck at 0%. after unpluging cradle and take off battery and run phone, rom is still the same so nothing has been flashed :( when I copy ROM to micro SD card, hardspl says loading but after 10 minutes says still loading and nothing happen...so rom is still old and nothing has been flashed...what should I do to flash new rom?

thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DaveShaw:
If flashing from the SD card sticks are "Loading" you most likley don't have Hard SPL, or something wen't wrong with flashing it. What does it say in the bootloader next to "SPL:" ?

is it ok?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Nope. Hard SPL is not installed.

To get unstuck from the bootloader, find your carriers original ROM and flash that via USB whilst you are at the bootloader (I assume you are stuck at the bootloader).

Then follow this guide through again, and make sure Hard SPL is on there before you flash a ROM.

Now I have flashed 1.90.OliNex HardSPL and flashing now Proven ROM.

what should I do?

BTW, the instructions are great, and just what I have been looking for.
