That would be great since returning to stock spl makes it impossible to use any other ROM than new stock ROM or your 2.7. Although I think that there is no other such good ROMS as yours, it still makes our devices less compatible.

Do you consider preparing this new hardspl with modified .dll today or tomorrow?

Can't wait to test 2.7 but I am thinking whether it is worth to restore this stock spl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] germaansboefje:
What's the problem? Just use USPL everytime you need to flash another Rom, i do so all the time ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
I will release the roms tonight after my family get to time and after easter if not tomorrow. That will leave everyone who is unsure about the new flashing process to get time to read through.

If some else can explain better with USPL probably they can also place it here aslo since my english is not very good at all times.

Chao and laters:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
Just haven't thought about it. So it doesn't make our devices less compatible :)

Good work dutty, please not change dialer !!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jimbo29:
duttythroy,

Please tell me what happen if i will not downgrate hspl...?

What's happening if i'll flash from my microsd card like before, using hspl?

Thank you!

Cheers!

I'm not a pro or something, but i think using USPL 2.5 will fo the trick. Since i never used HSPL, my stock SPL is still in place whenever i'll hard-reset my phone. So the only problem facing right now is my updated radio-version, maybe i must replace it with the old one. I'll give it a try when Dutty's new Rom is available.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] biker200:
thank you very much

it did help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
HSPL cannot handle this new ROM, it is too new. Maybe soon hspl will be renewed, so it can handle. But at the moment, only uspl can do it.

If you flash this ROM with hspl, you will see a messed up screen, with red lines thoughout the display. Further, the device becomes really slow ... I have had that, testing this version. So I do not recommend doing that ! You have to go back than to a former ROM version.

So if you are ready for V2.7, it will cost you some time if you have hspl. Again, first go back to a normal (old) stock rom from HTC. Than upgrade to new stock rom from HTC and then use USPL (quite simple, although somewhat tricky on Vista) to flash this rom.

There are a lot of people already using USPL. Make sure that you have flashed the new HTC rom, before using USPL, otherwise you will get the same issues with screen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
As said in my former post. You will have to upgrade your stock SPL first to the newest HTC (stock) SPL, before you can use USPL (and indeed 2.5, which supports the newest SPL).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] barbapappa_86:
Is V 2.7 a WWE ROM or can i use Swedish?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] castemic:
Radio

Dutty, what radio do you use?

What is the best choice for coupling with your next rom (2.7...)

Thank you for your precious work!

I didnt bother to restore a stock ROM when I flashed 1.56 from HSPL. All i did was restore stock spl 1.14, following the instructions in the HSPL thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431217

Next step is to flash the 1.56 ROM. I booted my device into bootloader, and used USPL 2.5 to upgrade to the 1.56 ROM with spl 1.54, since my CID would mismatch otherwise. If you can get the 1.56 ROM that matches your CID you won't need to use USPL.

Then you can put it into bootloader, make sure SPL says 1.54, and then use USPL to flash Dutty's new creation.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
Is there any risk of damaging the device using uspl? I know that using Hardspl it is almost impossible to brick the device. What about USPL? What if upgrading ROM fails?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pw120:
There is always a chance of bricking your device when flashing any SPL, should the computer crash or power fail etc, even when flashing one of the official ROMS.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
It is always better to know what is the risk.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] speed200:
All the trouble just to put one single rom is no good for me, i prefer to wait for a new HSPL and keep playing with other roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
USPL to 1.56

Can't you just use USPL to flash the official 1.56 ROM from HSPL then use USPL again to flash 2.7? Would cut out a step of two...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
No, the problem is new graphic driver which is not compatible with the old one. The result is that you have 16 colors device after upgrading.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bouvrie:
I have SPL 1.14. If I want to flash Dutty 2.7 will I need to install stock ROM 1.56.404.1 before running USPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pw120:
Thats correct!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Huck33:
that's probably what i will do too :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
You don't know what you are missing :D ! It is REALLY good, quick, smooth, etc etc ;) !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] germaansboefje:
And to install the new stock-rom, is it necessery to downgrade my radio-rom to stock-version, or can i just start installing it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Confused

I'm a bit confused... What exactly is Dutty's ROM? is it a SPL (which I think is like the BIOS) or an operating system? I suspect it's something else entirely but what?

Also my bootloader says I'm using SPL 1.54.0000 and doesn't mention any radio. Is that normal? I had some trouble when I was trying to flash 2.6...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoroskynet:
Gentelmens,

You need to use USPL before rom update than you can update 2.7 rom without any problems.

You do not need to update 1.56 official rom...

With this way your device bootloader will not change...but every time you want to use cooked rom you need to run USPL first.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
So am I missing something here? Is flashing dutty's new V2.7 different than what I've been doing previously? I've read through what the recent posts are saying but I'm a bit confused.

Can I just flash as usual or are there a couple more steps added to the process now? My current setup is stated in my signature.

Thanks for any help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] germaansboefje:
So if i never used HSPL, only USPL, i will be fine, en just use USPL 2.5,and install 2.7 rom from sd-card like i did before? No worries about the official rom, or radio?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoroskynet:
You need to flash bootloader 1.15 Stock spl first. Otherwise color depth will be wrong...

1. Update 1.15 stock spl (as bootloader or 1.14 no problem)

2. Go to activesync and desable usb connection

3. Shutdown your HD

4. Go bootloader mode (volume down+power)

5. Connect HD to computer

6. Run uspl 2.5

7. Run the 2.7 rom update and folow the instruction
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoroskynet:
If you want to update from sd card than do not forget to take of your sd card and go to bootloader mode than connect HD to computer and insert your sd card and run USPL...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Huck33:
i'm sure of that

every new rom is always better than the previous one

i'm lost with HSPL, USPL.... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] supermarc:
is it right?

i cant update my original german rom to official 1.56, so i cant flash dutty 2.7?

please tell me, iam a beginner
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoroskynet:
If you do not have a HSPL before. Just use USPL metod and update Dutty 2.7 rom wihout any problem...If you had hspl than you have to go back to stock spl first as explained before...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:
I'm not a fan of flashing ROMs via Activesync/WMDC and flashing via SD card with USPL looks like hassle too.

I think Dutty's ROMs are bloody good, but I think I'll wait a while with this one and see if HSPL is updated. I like just being able to whack an .img file on my SD card, bootloader the HD and flash away ;) I really don't think I can be arsed to mess around flashing this and that. Besides, 2.6 is cool :)

I'm surprising myself with this post. I reckon I've flashed every Dutty ROM since 1.7. I'm an addict :D

Dutty, no chance of you replacing that one .dll?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
More confused

Argh! Getting really confused now... I had some trouble flashing V2.6 so I'm not entirely sure what I've done...

My current ROM is Dutty's V2.6

Radio is 1.13.25.24

SPL 1.54.0000

Can I:

Just use UPSL 2.5 to load the new V2.7

or

Run Hard SPL, replace the Olinex NBH with the stock NBH (SPL 1.14) and continue. Then use USPL 2.5 to load new V2.7

or

That second one but flashing the original 1.56 ROM before V2.7?

Many thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Major_Sarcasm:
If you have SPL 1.54, then you should be able to USPL 2.7RC directly as you already have the correct SPL installed.

One would assume you USPL'd Dutty's 2.6 after flashing the 1.56 official ROM? This is how you ended up with SPL 1.54 and Dutty 2.6?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Thanks!

I tried to use HSPL but WiMo didn't work so I used USPL to flash the update rom (from the HTC website) then again to flash Dutty's. In hindsight I'm actually a bit surprised it worked :P

What's worrying me now is the fact that i have 0000 after SPL 1.54... instead of the 1.54.

405.1

that I started out with... :S

Sorry am being a little overcautious now after all that worry that I had bricked my phone the first time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nico1885:

I am really confused, I have flashed all the roms

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoomee:
for those of us with Orange Branded UK devices - could someone kindly clarify what we need to do to get 1.56 on our devices?

I've been trying for a couple of hours now and getting no-where except back to stock orange rom fast :(

I'll take it we leave HSPL on, download and install the Eurpean stock rom (1.14), then restore stock SPL, THEN install the new 1.56 rom?

If we try to install 1.56 ROM straight from a stock orange rom it gives a vendor ID error. Its all getting a tad confusing now!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
I have the same problem. You can try using other stock ROM but as Dutty said, it may not work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] daylebo5:
i'm currently using 2.5 and was waiting for 2.7... but now with this issue with hspl I think i'll just wait till the new hspl comes out...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nico1885:
yes its crazy, iam waiting for new hspl,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zoomee:
Well I've just tried this - went to HTC Stock European 1.14 (with HSPL installed). Reinstalled Stock 1.14 SPL. Then tried to run HTC Stock European 1.56 and got invalid Vendor ID again!!!

I'll give it a try probably tommorow now with a newer SPL (1.15) to see if that works - off to watch fast n furious - REALLY hope a new HSPL comes out otherwise we orange users ain't going to be able to use Dutty 2.7 :( :( :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
That should do it, that is the same I am seeing, and I can flash V2.7. No worries ;)

I am guessing (later) tonight, but do not shoot me :p !

Not sure, but I guess you can use USPL to install new HTC 1.56 rom ? And after that you might have SPL 1.54 ... ? Again, not sure though, but worth a try.

But you are on (stock) SPL 1.14 .... ? Sorry, but you cannot get V2.7 working then, you have to get SPL 1.54 for that (on the new HTC ROMS 1.56). So when you have gone back to stock SPL 1.14 (so no hard SPL anymore), then flash to SPL 1.54 through the new HTC ROM 1.56. After that you should be able to flash V2.7 with USPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] brumbrum:
Really hope HardSPL will get support for this soon since I am using Linux, and flashing the HD does not work with VirtualBox as it did with the HTC Polaris.

I was happy when I was able to find a computer to flash HSPL to my phone, and now I have to flash the old SPL back because I cant flash with the mem-card, which was the only way for me to flash.

Would be nice if anyone was able to port the flashing-application to Linux, but I think this is never gonna happen since it is to complicated and there is no support for this from HTC, and no documentation probably.

Please HardSPL-hackers! You have done a great work before, please save us again and do a HardSPL compatible with 1.56 :-)

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Wow; things have got complicated since I last flashed my Kaiser.... :(

If I'm on Stock Orange UK (not flashed or 'upgraded') I take it I need to flash to: RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

That seems to match the info I've gotten from the bootup screen (R: 1.09.25.14, G: 52.49a.25.26U, D: 1.14.22273). And then I can just use USPL and flash 2.7.

This should be fun!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Ha! Answered my question before I even posted it. No wonder I'm getting confused as hell here; couldn't figure out how a ROM flash would change the SPL, remember them being two different things!

Thanks boba!!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
Ok guys rom is release please read through the changelog especially with how to flash through USPL,

As I said before the rom is using a new kernel 1.56, spl 1.54 which will need to flash one of the latest available HTC ROM upgrade so SPL can be flashed to the device in order for the rom to work.

You will need if using hardspl will need to restore stock spl, which I posted on how in post 6.

Guys just please read and if uncertain, just read again. All my releases from now on will be based of 1.56 based and will allow for uspl flashing. Until a new hardspl is available for 1.56 roms, USPL will be it, I just start using it myself and its also very good,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hmmhmm1222:
how come on davideducks v5 we can keep the hspl 1.14 and yet flash the v5 with new 1.56? or am i missing something?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
when u have the 1.14 spl, you need to flash the 1.56 stock rom so u have the 1.54 spl, then u use the USPL to flash my rom.

please look at post 6 i try to make everything in order.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
Again, that will not work. If you do not believe me, try it without SPL 1.54 and use your current 1.14 stock SPL. The new SPL 1.54 will be included when you flash the new HTC Rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
For those who havent read this here it is agian.

UserGuide on how to downgrade/ upgrade and Flash through Vista using USPL for my New HD Roms based on 1.56 SPL:

I have put all the relevant links below in order to complete the steps in the right order.

For the hardest bit you need to this in order listed below and follow the links attached.

How to Re-flash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

Be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio.

Stock SPL is always to be done last!!

Download your choice of a stock spl package from this post.

Also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.

Run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet.

Just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.

the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!

Continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

to verify, enter boot loader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 thats it.

no worries: if your device is stuck in boot loader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] VizagDude:
I think I got Everything RIGHT. Phew... I am flashing your ROM as I am typing this and crossing my fingers.

Here is what I did.

First I downloaded the Stock SPL file.

Then put the extracted the Stock SPL .NBH file and Custom RUU in a Folder and flashed my device.

Then Flashed the Ship 1.56 ROM (No Weared screen and everything went well).

Then unchecked the "Allow USB connection" thing in Active Synch and got my device in Bootloader mode.

Extracted the USPL and exectued it after connecting my device while in Bootloader mode.

On the screen, it changed from SPL to USPL.

Then Flashed your ROM.

Actually I just finished flashing and the system is booting up... Everything looks good.

Thanks for the ROM Dutty... Especially for the Rhodium dialre with the Topaz ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
hey bro, basically, the first stock hd rom came with 1.14/1.13 spl, which was ok with hardspl.

The new upgrades from htc 1.56 roms uses a new spl 1.54 which the current hardspl doesnt support, if u flash any 1.56 based roms on hardspl u will have dissorted colours.

So u need to go back to stock spl, the upgrade to the new htc 1.54 spl.

Use uspl as equavlent to hardspl to flash the rom.

Hope that makes more sense
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Atze001:
Hmm it means I flash an "old" 1.14 Rom WWE and then a 1.54 Rom WWE and than use 1.54 uspl to flash to your Rom?

And can I revert to hspl if I want an "old" rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
the rom questions are sorted out as far as i can see...

i'm on an o2-german by default, so i guess it'll give me a tough time flashing the wwe 1.56 rom or similar unless a german one is out.

what about the radio, it says to put back the original one. i'm currently on the actual 1.12, just saw that there's 1.13 out which i'd like to install. is it really necessary to redo the old / original radio?

thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
yes u can. but u can use uspl to flash to any rom also. I'm not sure if anyone using the new 1.54 spl and flash to an older rom if the distortion is still there. but you can use hardspl and flash back to an older spl version, but if flashing to a 1.54 based rom you can always use uspl
