might sound stupid, but I think you should say what RUU means and what it is...

first time I flashed hardSPL I couldnt find what this RUU means (while reading steps before flashing).

I started flashing without knowing what it was, when I opened the .exe its title was self-explaining, but its hard to know before starting... because the .exe name is not RUU or something like that

Sorry for bad english!

Done. Thanks for the input :)

Thanks for taking the time to write this guide for all of the noobs (like me :D). I'm still unsure whether I'm willing to gamble right away with my Fuze next month, but I've made sure this thread is bookmarked in case I decide to take the plunge!

Bricked Fuze?

I was using OliPro Rapheal Unlocker and seemed to have bricked myself. (my fault, I understand the risk) I'm not a total newbee, but first time I ran into this. Any ideas how to get past a Upgrade ROM code error? Updated from 8525 to Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
I dont recognize the SPL version in your signature is it from Oli's Sim/CID Unlocker?

Can you explain exactly what you have done to your phone and when you bricked it please. Also can you load your Rom up or does it get stuck.

Have you tried flashing the HardSPL from Step1?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] scotchua:
If you flashed the hardspl, then you should be fine and should not have done any lasting damage. You didn't read the part of the instructions that tell you that you must first flash a 1.01 version of the att radio. You can get that here:

http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=v3q7csfizy

If you don't then you get the rom upgrade error. Just put your phone into bootloader (tri-color screen), and flash that radio. Also, as always, questions about specific roms, apps, etc should be posted in the thread they came from. That is where all the people most knowledgable about the subject are most likely to read it.

@Mskip, i think that SPL is for his 8525 not his fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
oh ok lol thanks for the input scot :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Coromoto:
I did know and realize that, and your walkthrough doesn't give instructions for that either, but rather for flashing a ROM using the mSD method.

I was referring to flashing a new ROM from the MicroSD card and getting this error message in the HardSPL Bootloader screen. The ROM image has the proper name (RAPHIMG.nbh) but isn't seen by the OliNex bootloader.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cheezehead:
Thanks TVOS. I never thought about that you could flash multiple times till you find one you like. One thing i noticed on you post earlier is that you said you back up your info for your favorite setup so that way you can restore it. That i assume includes contact info etc. How is that done?

I am buying sd cards tonight and will try to flash the hardspl and try romeo's this weekend. Can't wait.

Thanks,

Cheeze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
I use SPB backup software for my ppc and it has never ever failed me.

I use exchange with my mail so I don't backup my contacts, just the settings from the server. The rest is the common applications I use, preferences, graphics blah blah... Once its to my satisfactory I make the backup for future restores...

It will SAVE you time vs. having to re-do everything. I have been down the road many times having to restore or build a new ppc image because I have a new phone and 2-3 days of work of custimazation is not fun. But when it's done.. it is rewarding.

Okay TVOS,

I dont have anything to backup yet. I am download the hardspl now and will give that a try first. After looking around and your recommendations i think I will try the PROven rom first. That way a lot is setup for me for what I am looking for right now. I will update after the first step is done.

Here goes nothing :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cheezehead:
Hardspl worked and verified. Had a little trouble with the PROven ROM. I did not have a rar extractor. download WINZRAR or something like that. It said it was a forty day trial. Completed the ROM and the Hard reset. Completing setup now.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cheezehead:
Flashing was a success on both Fuze's using PROven ROM. Thanks for your guy's help. The guide given at the start was a great help. The only other thing here for this section would be what RAR extractor do you all use. The one I currently have says its a 40 day trial.

Uh-oh what happened...

I've followed this thread and NATF's thread for about a week since I got my FUZE.

I followed the directions and when running HARDSPL I got an ERROR on the PC but the Fuze asked me to install (which I did) and the screen went blank. Immediately the Activesync went dead and now the phone doesn't turn on, nor does the Activesync recognize the device.

What do I do?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] m0tyrider:
****. I accidently left my simcard and micro sd in while i was flashing!!!

Dam you lack of sleep!

What can happen to me :|

Is my HTC Touch going to explode?!? ha ha!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Taking the Sim Card and microSD Card out before flashing is merely a safe guard against anything accidentally loading from the microSD Card or getting a call/ message while the phone is being set up. You should be fine I wouldnt worry too much.

Sucessfully flashed my Fuze using your methods. I almost flipped because the first time I tried to HARDSPL unlock or whatever, the app hanged and Windows Shut it down.

Damn Vista and its security alerts...

I didn't bother flashing a radio though, I was probably too excited to see if my phone would work or not. At least it feels like I have a brand-new phone again!

Hi everyone, Im gonna start off by saying I AM and NOOB and I am just trying to learn so any help is very much appreciated. It seems to find middle ground here, I'v been to alot of different forums now and it seems I can only find others that seem to know everything and it seems foolish to ask a simple questions such as " pros and cons of flashing" or even " WHAT IS flashing and ROMS and why do it" It all seems very interesting though and I would like to learn. I have a Tilt and I love it, and would love to learn more about it. Any help is appreciated, sorry for the noobness.

Hi. I just wanted to say just got my htc fuze about a month ago. And returned mine 2 times. I just got my new one, with a 4 gig card. I want to flash a rom and radio and any software that i feel fit. So this thread is priceless to nuubs like me. I am a pc tech somewhat outdated. So i do have somewhat of a clue of software.

I will start off tomorrow fresh when i wake up. Going to bed soon been sick.

First i will start off with the the hardspl or may buy the unlock software.

Is there a thread with locations and radios? and which ones work best in which areas? or is it rom dependent and area dependent. Thus is why you want to flash your rom first... correct? Also what is the best and most stable rom out there? I have been researching this for weeks now and still cant decide on naft or others. so many good ones. I just want the less buggy one. Or non buggy if possible with best performance and lots of options. You know what everyone wants hehe..

Anyways wanted to say hello and thank you for this thread.

I had this same issue, but once I installed the latest version of .NET Framework 3.5 all was well. THANX for the Newb instructions MSKIP...could not have braved that by myself! Although I did notice when I went to load the HARDSPL that my Fuze was prompting me load bootloader.exe (said yes), just made me a little nervous saying yes to a prompt that was not documented in the instructions...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Hdstreetglide:
Imagine your Tilt running fast than when you got it, without all the bloatware that you don't want. Imagine plenty of memory aviable to use for programs you want to install. This is what a custom rom is all about. Flashing is the method of getting a custom rom on your phone. This forum isa place for people to share the love and fun of improving a good device and getting as much performance as possible out of it. As well as a wonderful place to learn about your device.:rolleyes:

connection settings - preventing flashing

att fuze stock music/pictures

Hi! I loved using your guide; it was gr8 and informative.

After flashing and installing ROM, I realized I had lost the stock music and pics that came with the phone. Does anybody know where I can go find the stock pictures/music? I have searched xda and haven't had much luck :(

While the stock AT&T ROM was awful, at least it had some decent wallpapers/pics and music

edit: I found the wallpaper/pics: http://monx.aplace4u.biz/ROMeOS2RAPHAEL/REMOVED/

Hello,

I live in The Netherlands and I own a unbranded GSM HTC Raphael. The reason I want to flash my device is that I want an updated version of Opera, preisntalled flash support and maybe some other stuff.

Before I start flashing my device; is there a way to backup the original manufacturer ROM ? In case I want to return it to factory defaults. if yes how do I do that ?

I've read RezzZ's post, but I don't quit understand.

please don't mind my questions, I'm new to this.

I cant seem to be able to flash the hard SPL. im trying to do it via Active Sync. i take out my Sd card and my sim card and i link it up, it syncs and its all good. i run the HardSPL thing and check the boxes, and click next and such. then i click that update button, then next. the loading bar comes up and sits there for like 20 sec. i wait for some notification on my phone but nothing pops up. after awhile, my computer says:

Error [202]

Cannot connect blah blah blah, check your usb cord.

i have used 2 different usb cords and like 4 different usb ports and it still wont do anything. ive even disabled my antivirus and firewall and still no notification on my phone. im sitting here with this slow stock SPL and Rom and i wanna use NATF to make it faster.

what am i doing wrong? cant even get the hardSPL on there...

what exactly is the SSPLManual.exe doing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
copy the file to the root of your device memory (not storage card) then go into your file manager on the phone and run it from your phone (dont run it from the computer). The file just puts your device in SSPL mode so it can be flashed with the HardSPL.

Go *HERE* and download the CustomRUU, then simply unzip it and put the .nbh file in the same folder as the RUU and run the RUU to flash. If you have problems with the CustomRUU then try the RaphealWrapper from the same thread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mskip:
Its not essential that you take out the microSD Card while flashing your Rom its merely a safe guard. If you wish to keep safe while flashing then take out the microSD Card while flashing and then insert it just before you do your Hard Reset. That way your programs will be installed when the phone boots into the operating system. Make sure you copy your uc list and programs into the appropriate folders on your storage card first though.
