Hi there,

Maybe this is posted before. Or maybe it is a false positive. However, my anti-virus detects a a Trojan Horse!

KOR!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AvocadoBaby:
Ah ok... I think i've got it. I only just figured out how to flash stuff. I used the CustomRUU to flash my radio. I didn't realise I had to put HSPL olinex before flashing anything.

1. So once you've flashed a custom rom using USPL, your old ROM is wiped?

ie Hard resetting and soft resetting just reverts back to the most recent ROM update (even USPL ones)

2. If you want to restore you gotta look for an old rom on the net?

3. Does any of the original stuff remain on the HD after a flash using USPL (programs/contacts etc)?

I'm thinking of flashing a cooked rom, but not having an easy way to revert is a bit scary. Also I don't really want to reinstall the apps i've got on already.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moony1987:
Maybe it is. Perhaps read a few pages?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Yes, Flashing a custom ROM will wipe everything on your phone (contacts, pictures, programs you installed, etc).

Yes, All of the known shipped ROMs are on the XDA Wiki.

USPL is simply a bootloader for flashing the ROM. It is a temporary mesause that gets removed when you next reboot (soft reset / power cycle) your phone. If you want to flash another ROM, you must use it again.

A Hard Reset is a way of wiping all the user data on your phones (it is the same as "Clear Storage" in settings).

Re-installing apps isn't that hard, just put all the CABs on your SD card, and backup your contacts etc. using Active Sync. And keep all your pictures / music on your card. And before you know you'll be a flashaholic :p

Thanks

Dear XDA-Community

First of all, sry for my bad english. I'm a German speeking guy.

I've got a cheap HTC Touch HD on Ebay, but it's in English.

So i want to flash a German ROM.

After informing about the different SPLs I've decided to take the USPL, because of Warranty issues.

But now some Questions:

1) I know, that the USPL is not permanently, so if I restart the phone, there is only the original SPL. Does this mean that my flashed Custom ROM didn't work anymore? Or do I need the USPL only for Flashing and not for starting the ROM?

2) The Installation-Guide said that there are some Driver problems (I have Vista), so I have to install old drivers. Does this mean that I need the old drivers only for flashing and when I connect the Phone later (to copy mp3s or so on) i can use the new drivers without problems?

Sorry, but I've looked for Answeres in the Board, but I didn't find some or didn't understand what they meand.

Thanks

Hi everybody!

This will be my first post and already i've got a problem. I've tried runnig USPL under vista 64 business and vista32 home (no xp unfortunatly available), and with no succes.

The main problem is i think failure in downgrading htc drivers. going step by step with tutorials posted on this forum i get everything ok, right to the moment with drivers downgrade. it gives me this error: "This device cannot start (Code 10)" - the same message on both systems.

so if anyone had similar problem and solve it, I would be very grateful for their help.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
The second one is right. :)

Exactly. You need the old drivers just for flashing. If you have a machine with XP available, I think it's easier to flash with that machine. This way you will avoid the need to downgrade the drivers

This already puts you over the average user. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AvocadoBaby:
Thanks for clearing that up Dave, Lucky I didn't try first and then ask questions! After flashing the radio and having everything else untouched I was very tempted!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:

Virus Warning

Hi

Thank you for providing us with such a greate piece of software.

However, I receive (and many others) a virus warning while unpacking the zip.

It says, that the Trojan Horse "Dropper.Gen" (Antivir, Kapersky, ...) is part of the file.

May I ask you to say a few word about this?

Kind regards

N
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
Many words have been spent on this, you will find it in the FAQs. It is a false positive, but if you do not trust it do not use it. VirusTotal should confirm that only a minority of antiviruses recognise that as a virus.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AllTheWay:
Yep, he is knowingly giving out viruses to people and then assisting them in the thread about it ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
And asking for money to remove the viruses :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AllTheWay:
LOL sounds like a perfect setup for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noviceiii:
:-)

It musn't be his intention to spread a virus but by mistake; sure I (we) got suspecious about a virus warning - it wouldn't be usefull to have a virus scanner but ingoring the messages - although the warning message was kind of generic.

;-)

However; I installed it through a virtual machine.. just to ensure. Worked fine for me (after having windows vista convinced to "see" and "use" the USB port with an "old" driver).

In the titel stands "or how to keep your stock SPL". How I get the stock rom back after flashing another one with USPL?

Just do a hard reset?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
No, after a Soft Reset the Stock SPL is restored.

You need to use USPL to flash your stock ROM to restore that (see wiki for downloads).

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WM_Rizzo:
Could anyone please explain it to me how exactly USPL works? I get the general idea, but what i don't understand is this "It operates from volatile memory (RAM) and once the device is power-cycled, no traces of USPL remain there".

As far as i understand it, it fires up from RAM, let's you flash new rom, and when you power up the device again, there's no traces of USPL cause it started from RAM. So if something happens, i just flash the original ROM and the warranty is not voided, right?

But what about the radio? I think the warranty is only valid if the device has the original ROM and radio, but cooked ROMs usually require newer radios. How do you backup that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
You use USPL and you reflash the old radio, which is available for download here at xda.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
The SPL is the bootloader. USPL somehow excutes a stack overflow in the stock bootloaders that allows a patched bootloader to be loaded into RAM and then that is jumped to. The patched SPL is then used to flash the Image (ROM / Radio / Splash). As soon as you reset everything in RAM is wiped, so the patched SPL just disapears.

As said before, the radios are on the wiki.:)

stepw, please correct any mis-conceptions :p

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Black Antitoon:
You are using Windows Vista, aren't you?

Or maybe you haven't installed ActiveSync (or WMDC), which should include the USB drivers you need for the phone to be recognized.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
Hey Dave, Question:

If you are using USPL, given that it disappears from a soft reset, taking out battery, etc. then isn't it true that flashing Radio's and Rom must be done only by ways of RUU_ only since doing so the SD card way rids of your USPL, yes? Thus Hard SPL required for this SD card procedure.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Actually you can use the SD card... It's in the first post :D:D

At a certain point Vista may tell you that the drivers are already up-to-date. If this happens, go back one step in the wizard and tell it that you want to select the drivers manually.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
If HTC doesn't fix the recursion bug in Rhodium SPL, there's a chance USPL can be created for it. There's a lot of trial and error involved with getting USPL to work, I wouldn't take on that without having a unit in my hands.

If you have time to play with it, let me know once you have your Rhodium, I'll be happy to give you a hand...

Hello,

first thanks to the author ;)

I dont know why but when my blackstone is blocking on the "loading..." blank screen and the device seems not to be connected to my computer.

What I am doing is a a soft reset, (Vol-/power) and after the 4 colors screen (that displays the USPL 1.14), I have a blank screen with the "Loading..." message but nothing happens.

I have tested on Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and with active sync 4.5. Active Sync is disabled during the test.

I have also tested to connect the USB before or after the blank screen but the problem remains.

Am I the only one with this issue ?

Thanks if someone could help me as I dont really know what can I test now.

Thanks

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
USPL is updated to version 2.5.

For those of you who installed the latest stock ROM with SPL 1.54...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bpcue:
Thanks stew. However this new uspl is causing my device to loose it colour. Its resolution and picture is reduced to cga graphics.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
USPL can NOT affect your device in this way, your SPL may...

Do you have HardSPL flashed? If not, what is your SPL version?

The latest official ROM includes SPL 1.54 which is the right SPL to be used with that ROM. If your SPL version is different, you are likely to have this issue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
Just a reminder:

Unless you know what you are doing, NEVER:

- upgrade/downgrade SPL using USPL.

That is, if you want to install the new stock ROM with SPL 1.54 bundled therein, do not use USPL! If your CID prevents you from installing it, wait for the stock ROM for your CID to be published by HTC. Flashing SPL from under USPL is not safe!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
I thought SPL 1.54 is already supported? I have done it, german spl and flashed the WWE 1.56 rom using USPL? Anything dangerous about it? Fortunately it has worked, so I can go back, if I need to, can I?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] commando0:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
Hi johnpatcher,

USPL supports SPL 1.54 as a host (e.g. flashed) as of version 2.5. So yes, you can go back anytime...

USPL is a hack and if flashing of a new SPL fails (e.g. USB cable is pulled out or SD card dies or USPL crashes), you'll have a brick. This is one of the reasons why HardSPL disallows SPL flashing. So it's safer not to flash SPL from/via USPL. I do it all the time, you did it too, so it will work in 99.99% of the cases, however even 0.01% is too much of a chance to brick a 500 euro unit, so I'd suggest not to do it again...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Unfortunately it was the only way to get the new 1.56 WWE rom on my german device, as HSPL doesn't support this new roms yet :).

The goot thing about it: I used USPL and now I think its a really great and easy-to-use alternative :). Certainly an option for people that flash a rom just a few times in their life :).

For me as a chief HSPL is more useful, as I haven't to initialize it every time I want to flash a rom, although that isn't much work at all.

Nevertheless thanks for USPL and your quick reply.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:

Windows Xp or vista

in vista u have to downgrade drivers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
The SPL version of the 1.56.401.0 rom is 1.54, so USPL is supporting that already.

I guess its not the fault of USPL.

Have you read the instructions? For example you need to disable usb connection within ActiveSync.

Hi Stepw,

Thanks for all your hard work. I'm rather confused and hope you can clear it up. I've got a Dutch ROM 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD dated 12/9/08 on a new Blackstone. I want to upgrade to the latest stock WWE ROM, either 1.56.405.1, or 1.14.504.3, to get rid of some bugs and make programming easier. However I want to revert easily in case of guarantee claims, so was going to use USPL for this purpose.

Do I understand correctly that you are advising not to use USPL for these ROMs?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
Don't get me wrong, USPL can be used to flash any ROM and SPL; personally I do it all the time. However I recommend to always upgrade SPL using official RUU without loading USPL.

In fact I believe many users are not realizing that they have flashed SPL under USPL using official RUU and none have bricked their devices (or at least noone complained) so far, but eventually someone might. And we don't need bricks here, better safe than sorry...

I have just purchase a HTC Touch HD T8285 (Telstra Australian Version) and I do not like what they have done to the device, but I need the UTMS 850 frequency where I work and love the Blackstone, so I decided to try to re-flash the ROM, after some research I have chosen DUTTYS ROM 1.7. and I picked up on your USPL 2.5 which seems to be more concretive then the Hard-SPL’s on offer.

I downloaded v 2.5 USPL and started the process end up with the following error message:
