Would mightily appreciate any more suggestions etc. love this forum and thx to all those who make it possible

protoism
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Run the exe from the command line so you get the output and try and figure out what's up (search for whatever output it gives, someone before has probably had the same problem as you).

Or, use USPL GUI by CrackWhore. It'll show you the output and offer hints on what's gone wrong.

The GUI will have a similar effect to running it from a command prompt window. It will allow you to see the output text.

Hey guys.

New to the HTC game. Have been reading and reading for days. I have a Telstra HTC-HD with the stock ROM. If I use USPL to upgrade to a non-branded stock HTC rom of 1.56 then my understanding is that it will also upgrade the SPL to 1.54. Am I hen able to use USPL at a later stage to put back SPL 1.14/1.19/1.21 or is it not possible to downgrade the spl (thi would be to reflash the original rom for waranty purposes).

Thanks very much

P.S. sorry if this has been asked before - just couldn't find it anywhere.

question for crackwhore?

i have been trying to flash duttys rom for a day since getting my t8285. i have been getting a error 263 file update so someone recommended flashing via sd card but my only prob is that i have hard spl 1.56 and i researched and it said to flash with uspl. is it ok to do soand what uspl would i use if already have hard spl 1.56?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
No USPL version is compatible with HSPL. I responded to your question about flashing via SD card in the HSPL thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eighty1:
ok. sorry man been chasing you around this morning trying to get it sorted. i know its simple to you but to me its still not that simple yet and i appreciate our patience. the one last thing i want to know is what uspl do i use 2.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yep, USPL 2.5 works on the latest HTC 1.54.0000 SPL. It will not work on thew new HSPL 1.56.oliNex.

After USPL back in original state

Hi, I've a question..

A few weeks ago, I flashed the official ROM UPGRADE from the HTC site, so now I have the official Dutch 1.56 ROM and SPL 1.54.

When I used USPL2.5 to flash a custom ROM, and I have to send my Blackstone to HTC for repair or something, can I get my Blackstone back in the original (upgraded) state by applying again the official 'HTC ROM UPGRADE' from the HTC site?

And how can it be done?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You are correct. Since you are using USPL it does not change the SPL on your device. You will still have the official HTC SPL 1.54.0000. If you use USPL to flash a custom rom and then to send the phone in for warranty purposes, all you would have to do is run the xxxx_Ship.exe for the official rom! That will flash the official rom back to your phone and it will be ready to go.

i got a blackstone with spl 1.14.OliNex flashed, i followed your guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377 from step (1) to (5d), until then, it was all right just as you said.

and now thinks happened! the screen was "black", i thought it's finished, so i pull out the usb cable, and continue to the step (6a) (maybe i forgot to run the uspl again!?) with dutty's v3.7 rom, it's finished without problem, but the screen looked "funny" you know, i checked the spl still shown 1.14.0000. and what worse: 1' the device can't work with gsm(i'm in china and i use china mobile's sim); 2' it's reaction very very slowly! in a word, it's abnormal!

where am i wrong? i just want use uspl to flash my phone? can i do this now?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If your SPL shows 1.14.0000 you will need to follow step (5) and run USPL V2.5 or cRaCKwHoRe's USPL GUI onto your device. Once complete your SPL should say SPL v 1.15.USPL. Then you can flash 1.56 based rom from (1d). Once complete reuse USPL and then flash which ever 1.56+ based rom you want i.e. Duttys or Miri's etc

Let us know if you get stuck

If I prefer to use USPL for flashing cook roms; stepw tutorial is more simple than cRaCKwHoRe's

AS I know stepw version 2.5 is just support for SPL 1.54 host - how about latest SPL 1.56 host can still be use for it?

Thanks...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
stepw's instructions just covers how to use USPL. My guide teaches step-by-step how to flash a rom, including updating your SPL if necessary.

The latest HTC SPL is v 1.54.0000. There is HSPL 1.56.olinex but that is a custom SPL. USPL works fine on 1.54.0000 but is currently not compatible with HSPL 1.56.olinex. However, if you are using HSPL 1.56.olinex you wouldn't need USPL anyway ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dioooi:
You are amazing fast reply. Thanks.

I have read a lot about the HSPL and USPL tutorial.

I need your opinion, If I just bought HD, do you prefer me to use USPL or HSPL.

I afraid some day the hardware problem and the warranty void because of using HSPL modification.

Or if I use HSPL1.56olinex to flash cook roms, finally I still can be flash back stock official rom with original SPL version?What do you think?

Hi my friend.

i have htc blackstone by orange. with rom version 1.19.61.1 wwe. when i try to up date my device from htc site i had a problem. Saw i want to remove orange software and make my phone as it was from the factory.

what to do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I prefer to keep the stock SPL but that's just me. If you do flash HSPL 1.56.olinex you can always return back to the stock SPL so it's not a problem if you need to return the phone for warranty purposes.

Yes, you can change your ROM if you like. Read the guide in my signature. It will explain how you can use either USPL or HSPL and flash a new ROM (be that a stock ROM, an Orange ROM, a custom ROM, it doesn't matter ;)) to your phone.

Folks, who knows how to install USPL or HSPL on Blackstone (HTC HD) using micro SD card only (means, without USD connection)?

Please write down detailed description or send link to it... I was looking for a week now and couldn't find anything ...

You cannot install HSPL or USPL through SD card. Both require you usb connection.

flashing original SPL using USPL

Hi Stepw,

I've spent all afternoon reading the full thread, and I noted that many people has used the USPL to update using the official RUU including the HTC SPL. No one seems to have bricked his phone. The procedure seems to be safe (or people is to shy to say they bricked the phone ;) )

I'm at the moment with the SPL 1.14 and my Blackstone is CID/SIM blocked (Movistar Spain).

I'd like to use USPL and run the RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe.

Taking care of all the considerations made in the thread, do you think it will be a risky exercise?

Any additional advise to minimize the risk?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stepw:
I haven't heard of a single device bricked this way so far, so no, it's not a risky excercise.

Charge battery to full and make sure process is not interrupted.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CuppaT:
May I ask a possibly stupid question... Where can I locate a (or backup my current - preferred) shipped ROM? I have failed in locating the info or the files! I assume there must be a way to backup the ROM that shipped on the phone but can't see how!

This would be useful incase there is an issue with the hardware and it needs to be returned under warranty for repair.

Many thanks in advance.

im trying to get this to work on windows 7 x64 but no luck so far.

i did the following things:

disable usb connections on phone and windows mobile device center

tried to install the usb sync driver posted in the wiki, used the 64bit version but windows 7 keeps nagging about driver signing. I did some cmd actions to disable the driver signing but it wont let me install the sync driver.

Has anyone got this working?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes, it works fine for me with the same exact scenario. When you install the driver, you need to ensure the following:

1. Phone needs to be in the bootloader, attached via USB cable.

2. Computer needs to be restarted, spamming the F8 key after initial BIOS screen. This brings up a menu. You have to select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" or "Disable Digital Driver Signing". I forget exactly the lingo.

3. When your computer boots up you will be able to install the driver.

I am using vista 64bit and want to flash my virginal touch hd. I can't extract the USPL on my PC. "Zip-folder is empty"

I have loaded the driver, so my PC recognizes my hd and I tried to extract the zip on the hd but there I had another errormessage.

Your AV software isn't deleting the exe from the Zip or something like that?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] peterovska:
AV = AntiVirus?

Again: it would be very easy if anyone can give me the .exe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Sorry, I use HSPL so I can't help with the .exe, but what I think Dave meant was if your AV (AntiVirus) was running while you were downloading the zip file it may have deleted the contents before you even tried to unzip. If of course you switched AV off before downloading then there is another problem.

Hope some of you guy's know what i did wrong or know the problem I just tryed to explane.

Hope someone can help me?

Kind regards,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sounds like the classic problem of not having the correct SPL for whatever rom you are using.

As you are using USPL, it is required that you flash a stock rom based on 1.56+ first, then re-use USPL and then flash your chosen cooked rom.

Full step-by-step guidelines for both USPL and HSPL can be found in the dummies guide here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeAdMaNwa:
WOW first of thnkz for the verry fast responce appreciate it.

I have done the steps for USPL install that are in the dummie guide i asumed.

Sorry for asking but what do you meen with stocked rom ( rom from the website provider itself)?

I have used this method beceasue i do not want to mess up my phone that's why i used USPL that's it not permenent.

Kind regards,

Michaël
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
stock roms can be found in wiki here. These are official released roms which do not void your warranty if on your device along with USPL.

If you notice in the instruction for USPL in dummies guide you need to get SPL 1.54.0000, re-use USPL again to get SPL v 1.15.USPL before you flash a cooked rom

From reading your issue, you had incorrect SPL before flashing rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeAdMaNwa:
When i flashed my rom it was saying SPL v 1.15.USPL when i get in the boot loader after i used the USPL 2.5 version so I tought that it was ok.

And what you told me it seems ok to then install the cooked rom.

Or do i realy first must do the process of the stock rom first.

Regards,

michaël
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you use USPL and flash a stock rom based on 1.56+, then re-use USPL and flash your cooked rom your green screen issues should disappear.

Can't charge, back to repairer......

I did a ROM upgrade 6 odd months ago with Dutty's ROM. Loved it. :)

I used the USPL to complete it. Recently I have had a problem where the phone won't charge. :( I have taken it in to a different store, and they tried it with a different charge cord and battery. No Luck. I need to take it back under warrantee.... :eek:

NOW, when I loaded the ROM I knew I could get it back without adjusting the Stock SPL. My question is this: :confused:

Do I Just get the original ROM and flash according to the 'normal' flash process (i.e. like the upgrade process listed on the HTC site: http://www.htc.com/au/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=490), or do I need to use the USPL process again, but with a Telstra shipped ROM.

I want to make sure it is in stock position before I take it back in....

Sorry, I only did the upgrade once 6 months ago and was so wrapped I have not changed it since. :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Doesn't need to be original rom, just any stock rom. Use USPL and flash any stock rom then your ready to go!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aiki_aviator:
Still a little confused, sorry....

Hi, sorry for being a little dumb, but can I just use the Telstra RUU and run it as is. Because I used the USPL originally, and it now shows the

BLAC120 32M

SPL-1.15.000

MicroP-BlackStone (LED) V6

per standard on boot menu, do I need to go through the USPL route again, or can I just use the Telstra's PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3 as it has the same SPL?

Am I a little confused? :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Generally USPL needs to be used before every flash to cooked rom, but as your going to stock from and you've got stock SPL you should be fine, though I've never used Telstra's PDA Phone ROM Update Utility
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As you still have your stock spl, you should be able to flash back to stock rom directly. If the Telstra RUU has your stock (original) rom, then just flash directly or else if you want to use another stock rom other than the original one then you would probably require to use uspl again. This is my understanding at least as I've never used uspl, so can't give a definitive answer.

AFAIK spl 1.54.0000 is the highest one available. I think it is a bit of a typo from Xanny. If you use HSPL you install 1.56.Olinex, but with uspl you need 1.54.0000.
