Anyone see anything strange about this release????

Don't get me wrong, I am no political activist or anything BUT!!!

HTC has never before released a ROM specifically for the EU without a generic WWE ROM.

Phones apparently identical bought in the Gulf States (non-Arabic versions imported from Europe) are not on the serial number list.

The new EEC DATA RETENTION DIRECTIVES

(hold and retain all TXT and mobile phone calls and possibly use the same regs as US to monitor GPS position)

came into force on the 6th April 2009 and this ROM is released 7th April 2009.

Anyone see a trend here???? :eek:

EDIT: OH and most people don't seem to see any signicant changes to even WARRANT an update! Hmmmm.....

Still gonna update it though.. If they want to listen to me n' the missus with our smutty calls then its up to them. :D:D:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bilbo Fraggins:
Is it quite common to not be able to update Orange ROM's via the official route on HTC site then?

Getting the unidentified serial number and just dont have the confidence or know-how to do any custom installs at the moment.

Can anyone confirm me if there are changes in manilla? Greetz
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] markqld:
YES:

the volume buttons were woking but then stopped.

a soft reset fixed it tho.

must be a bug.

opera starts much quicker

activesync still runs in background chaps, it just doesnt appear in the running program list
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] undergrounddemand:
I flashed my HD with this official rom, and I still have the damn activesync going in the background all the time... damn it... If I terminate the process, sooner or later it shows again

please get an an asian version of rom version 1.56

i have asked million times on this thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pw120:
You could try emailing HTC to ask them to release one.

As it says on the HTC website, 1.56 is EU only and available in English (Pan Europe and UK), Italian, Dutch, French, Finnish, Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish

Looks like the problem that some of us Orange UK users had with receiving MMS during an active data connection may have been fixed since flashing this ROM, been receiving them ok so far.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bford:
I'm experiencing problems. Error messages about device.exe. Storage card randomly disappears. I have never flashed my ROM before this official release so I don't think USPL or HSPL is involved. How easy is it to downgrade?

Hi,

Do we still need to install hotfixes from HTC after upgrading to this new 1.56 ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
Based on HTC UK site here is what I can work out

http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all

Hot Fix to enhance virtual viewfinder in the Camera on the HTC Touch HD

TouchHD_NoisePixel.exe ->yes

Hot fix for resolving a display flicker of the title bar in TouchFLO 3D

TouchHD_display flicker.exe -> yes

Hot fix to enable Live Streaming TV function for HTC Touch HD (only for the operator Telenor in Sweden)

TelenorSVE_StreamingMediaFix.exe -> Yes

Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls

TouchHD_SlidingAnswer.exe - No

Note: This hot fix only can be applied for ROM version 1.21.XXX.X or previous.

Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD

TouchHD system.exe - No

This hot fix can only be installed in ROM version less than 1.19.xxx.x.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Owendavies:
I've tried installing most of the above hot fixes and it just says something like its not the right version for your device. So I guess they might be releasing new hot fixes, or just don't need them. I asked this question a while ago in post # 114.

flashing SPL from USPL

Hi,

There is currently no stock 1.56 ROM for my CID but i want it :P

The wiki originating from this thread gives me two options, waiting or flashing the new SPL from USPL. (see quote below)

But it also says its not recommended to flash SPL from USPL.

Now i wonder what exactly the is the risk when flashing SPL from USPL?

What problems can emerge when flashing SPL from USPL?

thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marcdu81:
Hi,i have no problem with this rom,no freeze every softwares work fine,but i have the original spl ... I eared that some people have freezes and problem with color's screen , maybe some tweaks are responsable ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
There is always a risk and the author just does not want you coming back to him with any comment about youbricking your phone.

USPL does not replace the SPL so the concept of USPL'ing a stock rom that has a SPL in it (which will change thus your SPL) is just wrong and thus its a risk.

But there again every thing you do with your device is a risk. On some wiki pages we add a commnet about that on others not.

Updated to new ROM

Hi

Yesterday I updated my HD from stock ROM to never Danish BlackStone_1.56.4xx.x_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.2 5.24_Ship ROM.

Update went smooth without any problems.

- Same overall performance as old ROM :rolleyes:

- Improved GPS fix :)

- Camera responding

significant better

now :)

Took me 4 hours to re-install programs and tweak it ... absolutely worth it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bisis:
Maybe a stupid question...

is possible to remove SPL from this ROM and create a custom nbh and upgrade all other parts?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
Using nbhextract you can extract each single part of the rom, so yes.

Rom upgrade

Hi i tried to download the rom upgrade with a serial provided on this forum but as i was installing i got error 294. how were you able to install it. Would be very grateful for your help as i am also on orange.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EEKA:
Just installed this ROM, and i had HSPL 1.12 OliNex installed, so now my mobile is f**ked up.

So now i have to download an older ROM I understand. But then I have some questions:

* I'm unsure if I have to use a Swedish ROM?

* And where do I find these stock ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
Well it looks like you spent a long time reading the first post of this thread and seeing if other people have been having problems with 1.56 roms which is what this thread is all about.

I would suggest that you have a look at wiki as you will find a section on 1.56 roms, your greeenscreen issue, stock roms and a few other useful information.

I am unable to answer the question of if you need a stock swedish rom as you have not told us if this was your orginal rom was or CID or if you just prefer swedish roms.

Based on the fact that you had HSPL installed I would think that your original rom has changed.

.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phonatrep:
Hello, I have 2 questions :

1: Is there anyone that successfully upgraded to that v1.56.xxx version on Vista 64 bit ?

2: After upgrade, I guess the sync partnership between the Vista computer and the Touch HD is broken (because HD's settings were deleted while upgrading the ROM), and maybe you have to delete Windows Mobile Device Center's settings to create another one, no ?

Thanks !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EEKA:
I've been using an original ROM all the time, which is a Swedish ROM.

Before i upgraded to 1.56, I used 1.14.

The only Swedish ROM I can find is the 1.56 which I apparently cannot use. So do I need an old Swedish stock ROM, or can I use an old English stock ROM?

I have read the confusing Wiki without any success.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] iamelegy:
I'm having an issue downloading this thing from the official site. Though it accepts my serial number and everything, once I press download it just redirects me to the support page again.

Very frustrating. Should I just download it from another source, or is it likely to make some difference?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tsointsoin:
Without any SPL

Hi!

My question can seem stupid and i'm sorry for that but I flashed my official rom 1.14.406 to this new one without any additional program like USPL or HSPL.

Does it matter?

Thanks!

Tsointsoin
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
Well if you have an origainal rom (swedish) then you should be able to download the orginal (swedish) upgrade 1.56 with your S/N and run the upgrade.

However as you seem to have the geenscreen issue ("F**k"d your rom) and you admit to haveing HSPL installed which agians explains why you have the greenscreen issue I would have to say that your orgianl rom has changed.

So the only thing to now undersatnd is what do you want to do in the future?

and for that we have linked under our main Wiki page as

Understanding 1.56 Roms (Greenscreen issue & Flashing)

This page:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Rom156

"To avoid the greenscreen issue it is recomended that you downgrade your SPL to 1.15 or below before intalling a cooked rom that is not based on 1.56."
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EEKA:
Sorry if I didn't expressed myself correctly earlier. My English is rather bad..

I have the 1.56 ROM installed right now, and yes the device suffers the "green screen" issue. (Just green at the beginning, but I guess this would be the same problem. It also won't respond when in TF3D)

Now I wan't to go back to my older ROM, remove the HSPL, and reinstall the new 1.56 ROM again!

My problem is just to get back to an older ROM. But how? Can i download an old English ROM and everything will be OK?

I'm using HSPL 1.12 OliNex, so it shouldn't be any problems there?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
"Now I wan't to go back to my older ROM, remove the HSPL, and reinstall the new 1.56 ROM again!"

Now you are on the correct track.

1) First do a restore of an old spl (below 1.54) out of the hardspl thread).

2) Next uspl

3) next flash the stock 1.56 swedish.

This will give you 1.54 spl and a 1.56 swedish rom.

which means you can't flash with HSPL anylonger and your best other option is to flash is via USPL in the future.

Now as cooked roms do not come with SPL you will might have the greenscreen issue again with cooked roms (remember greenscreen is cased by a SPL and rom miss match).

So if you do at some later time want a ckooked rom then its best to restore a old spl (below 1.54) version AGAIN and not have to worry about greenscreen.

Hope that helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] EEKA:
Thanks for the post!

But there are still some concerns, since I don't want to make my phone a shiny brick.

On the first step, should I download "Restore_Stock_SPL_115.zip " from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=431217 and install it first?

Edit: I still got HSPL 1.12 OliNex installed.

What do you think about picture quality in this 1.56 ROM?

For me it is slightly better in color depth.

Me too. I have a 16Gb card. This is the third post here saying this. Any ideas anyone? I'll try HTC but will try and go back to the previous ROM for now.

Can I also use this method for the new ROM-Upgrade?

like: rename extracted file RUU_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, put it in the root of a FAT 32 formatted SD-Card, keep the Touch HD in boatloadermode and flash!?

Thanks in advance!

HD branded, ROM Upgrade?

Hi i've download the rom upgrade with a serial provided on this forum but when I start upgrading I got error "294". My HD is shipped and branded from TIM carrier(Italy) Any suggestion? I'd be very grateful for your help :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] benall:
Good news - HTC replied quickly

Bad news - Their recommendation (flash again without the card) did not work

I will tell them and go back to the last working ROM in the meantime.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NioXe:
Use this ROM to restore you Touch HD to the original Swedish ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3089466&postcount=180

It's the 1.14.413.0 (24011) SVE ROM that all Swedish sold HD's are preinstalled with. :)

After flashing it you have to "uninstall" OliNex HSPL by replacing it with SPL_114.2

If all this works you should be ready to flash the new ROM from HTC.

Det borde vara allt. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
I have a question that doesn't seem to be addressed as of yet because I haven't read a post with anyone experiencing this...and I read through the whole thread. :)

I have successfully downgraded from Dutty's 2.6 rom and have currently on my device the new 1.56 and the SPL 1.54.

I would like to go back to Dutty's rom so I began the process of going back to the 1.14 shipped rom so I could downgrade my spl.

The problem I have is when I put my phone into bootloader mode, it never goes out of Serial to USB mode. I can't get it to change to USB so I can flash back to the old rom.

I've tried a hard reset of my device and that didn't work. I tried restarting my Vista 64 bit pc and that didn't work either.

When I flashed to dutty's rom the first time this was not an issue. When I flashed to the new 1.56 this not an issue.

Does anyone here have some advice they could share with me on this subject? I would greatly appreciate it!

My current details are:

Protocol 52.49a.25.26U

SPL- 1.14.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kostas66:
I think you could:

- Use HSPL (which will allow you to upgrade even if you have a branded phone), but you may have the "colour problem" to solve (try with a "search" in this thread...)

- Use USPL, but IT IS NOT SUGGESTED (you do it at your own risk...) as in the 1.56 stock ROM file there is also the SPL itself and you should not upgrade the SPL using USPL (again try with a "search" in the 2.5 USPL thread...). Actually I did not undrestand if somebody succeeded to upgrade in this way...

In any case the wiki is very clear...

I upgraded my phone from an old Orange FR ROM 1.19 to this new ROM 1.56, using USPL 2.5 successfully !

My phone works pretty fine now with a HTC ROM.

I don't know if my mobile is still CID locked now, as my SPL 1.14 was replaced by the 1.56.

Yep, me too. I formatted the card from my PC (disk mode) and all looks well now with the new ROM.

Text error in WIKI!?

I read the upgrade instructions in the WIKI about ROM upgrading very carfully and get a little confused because in my opinion there is a little text error inside(see below):

Understanding the 1.56 Roms

This Page was opened on 08/04/2009 and was based on the following current versions

Options once you have ROM 1.56 and SPL 1.54 installed.

1. If you want to install another stock ROM

Download stock ROM (RUU exe file) for your CID (region/operator)

Flash ROM

2. If you want to install another stock ROM with a different CID

Download stock ROM (RUU exe file) for any CID (region/operator)

Use USPL 2.5

Flash ROM

3. If you want to install a custom ROM

Download custom ROM based on 1.56 (else you will have greenscreen issues)

Use USPL 2.5, it's completely safe if custom ROM do not include SPL

Flash ROM

4. If you want to install Duttys HD V2.7 (or Higher) XTREME Rom

Download Duttys HD V2.7 (or Higher) XTREME Rom Thread

Use USPL 2.5

Flash ROM

5. If you want to install HardSPL

Presently you can't install OliNex 1.14 HSPL if you have SPL 1.56

Download an older stock ROM for your CID (region/operator)

Flash ROM (to downgrade SPL)

Install HardSPL

When i'm understanding the whole instructions correct, I think SPL 1.56 has to be SPL 1.54

Please correct me if I'm wrong!;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] luckyuser:
Flashback possible without problems?

For me, and I think for more HD-users ist very important to know that you can flashback from the official ROM_upgrade 1.56 to the official HTC_ROM 1.14 who was on the device, without any problems!

1. Anybody any experience with backflashing?

2. Is this also possible without using USSPL or HSPL?

Because I read that the ROM 1.56 upgrade changes SPL 1.14 into SPL 1.54!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
You are correct and as allways all you need to do is use the Edit funtion.

It was a mistake on my side

Did you set the Airplane mode ? (but it could cut Active Sync, no ?).

Or remove your SIM card ?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hiataby:
When you update the ROM, you flash it. So you flash your ROM and you don't have any connection with your mobile network.

Search the forum for how to update your rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phonatrep:
I know how to flash the ROM, but I read HTC's installation instructions:

DO NOT interrupt the update process, make/receive phone calls, disconnect the device from the PC, or press any buttons until the process has been completed.
