Taken from Raphael ROM thread found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427507

This is based on the assumption that you have a 1.14.x NLD ROM!

- Download official HTC 1.14 NLD ROM for RUU_signed.nbh from http://rapidshare.com/files/182960521/Blackstone_HTC_NLD_1.14.404.3_R.ZIP (link from Blackstone Wiki).

- Extract the zip file and you have the file "RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe".

- Use 7-zip or another tool to extract all files from "RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe".

- You will have - among other files - the required "RUU_signed.nbh".

- Download the Blackstone kitchen from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=438456 and extract it.

- Place Part01.raw, Part02.raw from ROM dump and RUU_signed.nbh in the folder BaseROM.

- Start BlackStoneKitchen.cmd

- Select "(e) extract a rom", "(b) if you want to rebuild and cook dumped ROM into flashable ROM" and wait for extraction process to finish (Message "Now start cooking your ROM!"). You should now have additional folders "OEM","ROM" and "SYS".

- Press space (or any other key) to return to the main menu.

- Select "(c) cook a rom", "(a) if you want to use the old BuildOS.exe"

- In BuildOS, press the green play button (see attached image) and wait for it to finish.

- Close BuildOS, wait until you see the message "Done!"

- Press space (or any other key) to resume the cooking process.

- After a while the HTC ROM Tool will start.

- Wait for it to finish - it will close automatically.

- After that, XVI32 is started. Don't change anything there, just close it.

- Temporary files will be deleted and you should see the message "Now flash your ROM!"

- Press any key and exit the kitchen.

- You can find your reconstructed ROM in the main kitchen folder. It's "ruu_signed.nbh". Place it in a folder together with "BlackstoneCustomRUU.exe" from subfolder "Tools" and you can flash it anytime you want.

- That's it, you're done!

Hope that helps clarify things.

k_hismoon,thanks for another explanation.i already try to cook a rom in this way several time,but every time when i press the green button,program delete temp file,then he do something with the OEM file,and then he throw me an error: external component has thrown and exception.in bould os it stops and says: error,last satus: creating shadow order file...

i reinstal .net,and problem is still here.any sugestion?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
Sorry, haven't come across this problem.

Are you sure you have the right files (ruu_signed same version as your rom dump), enough free space?

Have you used the "old" BuildOS?

Can't think of anything else right now that would cause the error.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rakec00:
not sure about same version as my dump rom,but i am sure i have enough space.hm,i need to check now which version i have in raw files.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dude10:
Hi K_Hismoom,

I will follow your instruction this evening. Later I will inform you, but anyway how the result will be

Thanks a lot for helping me :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dude10:
Hi, K_Hismoom

Sorry that I don´t explode for happiness, because I still have five noob-questions that makes me a little bit nervous.

It seems (so the program was saying it) everything seems to be ok.

For this advice THANK YOU SO MUCH everything was easy to understand.

What I´m still thinking is, that I have actually four raw files. I used now one and two, but the biggest file is raw three. For what is this file? Do I need it? and what of raw 00 the smallest?

If I press the Startbutton for flashing, it tells me my current version 1.14.404.3 and if I press the Update Button it shows me an update to 1.00. Is this correct? Should it not telling me the same Versionnumber (current version)?

I´m afraid to press the button "start"

A quick replay will be nice, because I don´t want that my food will be burned in the kitchen :D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
Hi Dude_10,

sorry for taking so long to answer.

Part00.raw is the area with IPL, SPL and Splashscreen

Part03.raw is content of your local storage

I haven't actually flashed a reconstructed ROM myself, so I cannot tell.

But I suspect that is okay, since the rom upgrade utility also does this with many cooked ROMs that after flashing display the correct version number.

Maybe someone else can answer that question?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dude10:
Hi K_Hismoom

I did not try it out yet. But for saving my ROM, Excellent!!

I´m so happy that I could save now my original ROM, but let me tell you something about description. The way how you discribe it and the way how wiki or other peopel discribe it, is different.

For instance: nobody write, that I have to create a folder in the base program.

(- Place Part01.raw, Part02.raw from ROM dump and RUU_signed.nbh in the folder BaseROM.) This Folder doesn´t excist, so I had to create it.

Before I´ve got always "can´t find the directory" but as soon as I create the folder, everthing just goes for it self.

Yeah !!! :D

As I just talking to you and I hope that I´m not disturbing you with my question. Can you tell me your opinion concerning another ROM.

I want to Flash Dutty 2,1 extrem. Is it a good stabil ROM? or is there a better one available? The best for me will be a german one but it should look also nice with the new manila, if it is possible.

Regards

Dude10
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
I have tried out several ROMs from the Blackstone forum, including the German Starbase64 and Davideucks WinMo 6.5 ROM, but Dutty's 2.1 is the ROM that I like best. It is quite fast and stable and I just love the new manila. Also if you set the manila language to German and install the expanded language file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=490844, you have at least a German manila.

But I suppose, you should try out some of those ROMs for a few days, before deciding which one you want to have on your phone permanently.

Hope that helps.

Regards

K_Hismoom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dude10:
Hi, I will try first the Dutty Rom as you say. Actually I just want a stabil with landscape and new manila Rom and I think thats one of the best.

Do you have any problem with Internetconnection? I had before such a problem, that I can´t enter any Internet or Weather or Email connection. It told me always "can not find the remote server" but I could use the phone. So I hope this Rom doesn´t have such a "bug"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
Hello

Sry for using your thread for my question...

I've dumped my Orange UK 1.19.61.1 Rom to save my ROM for warranty issues.

Wich BaseRom should I take? An Orange Baserom or an HTC. 1.14 or 1.19...

I've no Idea

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
You would just need RUU_signed.nbh extracted from an official HTC WWE 1.19 ROM, but can also use it from an Orange UK ROM, which you can find at http://rapidshare.com/files/191585731/ruu_signed.rar.html, I think (link is from the Wiki).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
So far I didn't have any problems with my Internet connection, neither WiFi nor GSM/UMTS/HSDPA, but I always have to select "Best performance" when using WiFi (this is probably a problem with my WiFi router, as I had to do this on every ROM, even the stock ROM).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
Oh, thanks.

What's different if I would choose a Orange UK ROM as BaseROM?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] K_Hismoom:
I'm not sure, but I think there wouldn't be any difference.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WM_Rizzo:
I'm gonna hijack this thread for a bit :o

i'm trying to dump the ROM from my Blackstone. I've got the 4 raw files, but i'm kinda confused now, since all the kitchen tutorials only mention the first two files. Seeing the sizes of the files, it makes me think - the first two files are only about 8 megs, and the other two are huge. What is taht about? Why did we make the last two files and when do we get to use them?

Also, another question, the ROM on my Blackstone comes with Sunnysoft Interwrite preinstallled - is it possible to extract it's cab from dumped rom?

Thanx!

EDIT: Whooops, possible problem here:

I was dumping ROM according to this

Don't close it, but press enter to continue!

And the same thing happened even in a virtual xp machine - clean machine, .net 3.5, sp3 and all the updates, which leads me to believe that ROM dump wasn't succesful. Any ideas?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mimibondi:
Hi guys,

I used WMDC with outlook 20002 & windows vista with no problems until getting a new laptop.

I have the latest version of WMDC and whenever i connect via usb or bluetooth (and it works) to my phone (jasjam imate), the pc wipes everything on the phone despite selecting the option of the phone data being priority.

I am at a loss! Luckily I have a backup file which I have to restore everytime I try to sync but that means I cannot sync anymore with my pc.

I called microsoft for support and they want to charge me $80 to help me! :eek:

Please help guys, everything is in my phone so if I lose it... :(

What are your thoughts on this new model.
[Touch HD General] pjhollin:
The SE Idou has a smaller screen, lower resolution, not WinMo, no North American 3G (Telstra model has 850).

The only positive that jumps out is the camera, but that's not enough to overcome the above negatives for me. Sorry, not interested.
[Touch HD General] WM_Rizzo:
I bet the Idou-NOT camera will still be shooting 3gp video in 320*240 resolution :p
[Touch HD General] Moandal:
My 3 and a half year old Universal has a bigger, higher resolution screen than the Idou. If that's progress I'm not impressed.
[Touch HD General] mcwtrekkie:
That phone was epic back in the day! Still has some decent specs now!
[Touch HD General] crashDebug:
really cant stand all those nonstandard resolution.

heck, enough's enough already with vga wvga q and square stuff!
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Well get used to it - it's the same resolution that all the new touchscreen Symbian handsets are coming out with such as the Nokia 5800 and the Samsung OmniaHD.

The reason they've gone for it is that it's a 16:9 aspect ratio.

There's no point trying to compare the Touch HD to the Idou as one of those handsets isn't even available yet.

In fact, going on SE's recent form, I'd be very surprised if they get it into shops this year. And I'd even go so far as to say that someone like Samsung or LG will have released a different 12mp handset before Idou is available.

Also, why on earth does anyone think that 12mp on a phone is going to be a good thing?

Think about how poor the camera on the HD can be, do you really think cramming in an extra 7 million pixels will make things better?
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Too low res for me - 800*480 is simply a sweet spot, it's the major thing HTC got right.

I bet the 12mp camera takes shockingly bad pictures too. That's more than almost all aps-c DSLRs out there (and the few that tried 14/15mpixel didn't sell, because they took worse pictures than the 10/11 models).
[Touch HD General] mib1800:
Idou would be a good phone. If this (or N97) is out now, I would not have bought the HD. Don't get me wrong. I am very satisfied with HD (with all the tweaks and cooked roms). Coming from a S60 N95/82 and after using HD for the last 3 months I have to honestly say somehow WM is still not as good an OS compared to Symbian. Symbian is still more robust, nimble and more efficient.
[Touch HD General] galaxys:
not impressed with it's spec's compared to some of the 2009 htc devices on the horizen...like the Firestone, etc.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
I don't know for sure, but normally cameras with these resolution ain't better than any 5 MP camera. Its not the resolution that limits the capacities, but its the lens.
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Everyone has their own preferences.

Until the Nokia 5800 was released, I'd never used a Symbian phone that I liked. I just don't feel the way the menus are laid out works all that well.

It's both.

Yes the lens makes a big difference but so do the number of pixels.

By cramming more pixels onto the same size of sensor, each pixel is smaller and consequently less light hits it.

Because less light hits it, the picture will appear duller unless you increase the amplification of the signal from each pixel. But if you do that, you also increase the amount of noise, which is detrimental to the picture quality.

Even with premium components it's impossible to amplify a signal without having noise appear but there's no way that a phone is going to be fitted with premium components, so the noise will be much worse than it would be on a digital camera of the same quality, not to mention that proper digital cameras would also tend to have a physically larger sensor anyway, so they wouldn't have to crank the amplification up so much.

Even the C905 (which is, according to GSMArena the best 8mp camera-phone on the market from a camera perspective) already has serious issues with noise and, at best, Idou will have a sensor of the same physical size but with more pixels.

However I've already read rumours that the sensor will, in fact, be smaller than the C905's which will make it all even worse.
[Touch HD General] Rozenthal:
I agree with everything you said, and being a photographer I'm very familiar with issues you described.

However, Sony is leading the market in compact digital cameras, and as such, it would not surprise me that these 12 megapixels turn out to produce "decent quality" photos.

Decent for average Joe Snapshooter, of course. Because, although for last 5 or so years I have been listening to "OMG, they're putting EVEN more pixels onto that tiny sensor", somehow the manufacturers are still running the megapixel race, and image quality has had a small but steady quality improvement. First time I heard this sentence was when first big megapixel jump happened: from 1 megapixel to 2.

So, let's just wait and see before bashing the new Sony, at least camera-wise.
[Touch HD General] Step666:
I'm not waiting, I hold out zero hope for Idou or any other 12mp handset.

I've seen both 100% crops and A3 printouts from the C905 and as I said before, noise is a huge problem.

I just don't see how adding extra pixels is going to do anything but make matters worse.

Also, since when have Sony been leading the market for compact cameras?

I must admit I'm not as au fait with everything since the pixel numbers went through the roof but last time I checked, Nikon and Canon were sharing the spoils.
[Touch HD General] arfster:
There have been tests recently that showed the best compact ever made was the Fuji f30, a 4 year old 6 megapixel model (people pay a ton of money for them on ebay). Even with improvements in tech since, they've not been able to counteract the quality decrease that cramming more megapixels in causes. Fuji themselves tried to reign back the megapixel race, hold at 8 max for quality reasons, but marketing trumps all and they've had to give it up.

I had a 15mpixel Canon pocket camera recently, the quality was awful.
[Touch HD General] Step666:
I don't suppose you have a link?

I tried my fair share of Fuji cameras in the past and was never hugely impressed by them, so I'm a little surprised at that.

Also, for them to try and position themselves as the voice of reason in the megapixel war is rather hypocritical since they were the manufacturer who traditionally always aimed for more, staying on with interpolation long after most other manufacturers had given up on it.

I have been playing with Google Navigator (not Google Maps) from here http://www.pdafun.net/index.htm

In it there is a download for off-line use option, but only for registered users.

Are you a registered user? Does it work?

I have access to wifi at work and at home, but in the car I don't have access to the internet, no 3G, edge or anything.

The trial version appears to let me draw a box around an area to download but then I am asked to register, US$60. Well if this works I will gladly buy it, if not it's not any better (for me) than Google maps which is free.

Thanks for any help or experiences.

If you want to prepare Google Maps offline and and take them on your next trip I rather steer you towards GPSTuner from Hungary, a very professional solution, and in some app stores available for around 20 dollars: http://www.gpstuner.com/ Version 6 coming soon, but likely no free update due to major improvements

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Kangburra:
Google Navigator also has voice instructions a-la Igo etc. It's a lot more than offline Google Maps.

I have had an email back from the author, it does require a network connection to plan a route. So even if you could have the maps it doesn't work like a fully offline route planner. That for me is enough not to buy it.

Hello there it's Dr. Wmm reporting here to review the Proporta Alu-Leather Case now as many of you know there are many cases to chose from

to chose from But we all know it is very hard to Find a case that offers Style comfort and protection at the same time well I must say I may

may have found a company that hit's all of those points.Well we will start with a Case that Proporta Calls there Alu-Leather Case now I have

had the chance to use this case for a while And these are my feelings about his product the first thing I looked for in this case was it's build

quality and I can say it is put togeter very well there are no lose seems are anything right off the back.Now this case was made for the Gsm

version of the Touch pro only So yes the Att fuze works just fine And from what I can see that is why this case Fits so well on the phone now

moving on the next thing I did was put my phone into the case witch was a little hard at first Due to the fact that the plastic was pushed down I

guess from the factory it was made in but none the less it went right in after a few trys.The next thing notice was that there is a plastic cover

that covers the typing keyboard Witch is great becuase it allows you to use the phone while it's in the case also it protects the keyboard from ware

and tear witch is great the next thing you will see is that on the back side of the case is a cut out for your Camera and flash to work but one thing

I diden't like was that there was no cut out for the speakers Witch a lot of you know the Touch pro already has a Volume problem to start So in the future

they should change that.Now moving on if you turn the case over you will find it has a Clip that works very well and can be screwed off and on when needed

a great feature that not to many company's put on there cases now when your not using your phone you simply flip over the leather flip lid witch connects to

the other side of the case very tight So it won't jar lose when bumped.Now before I end this Review Proporta also offers a Full lifetime Warranty witch is Great

for us everyday phone users So to End this review I would Say Go and get this case it's a must for the pro user I rate it a 8 out of 10 also head over to www.proporta.com

and check out all of there products they have to offer not just for smartphones but also iphnes ipods laptops and much more Thank you for your time
