Preparing to flash

I would like Start by saying that I'm starting to Flash ROMs.

I have read all about HSPL and USPL here at XDA.

It's all new to me but I am trying to learn from the information available here at XDA.

I have a Touch HD purchased in December 2008.

My ROM was 1:14 .????? and I started to download the file from HTC's site.

_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.4001.0_Radio_56.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

I did the update following the procedures described on the site.

After that I got the following data in my divice

Rom version- 1.56.401.0

Rom Date - 03/06/09

Radio Version - 1.13.25.24

SPL - 1.54

Make sure everything was running well.

In Active Sync I uncheck "Allow USB connection"

Did a Hard Reset and wait until the tricolor display appears.

I hooked up the USB cable and wait for the indication USB was visible on white display of the tricolor screen.

Then run in the computer (Windows XP SP3) the Blac_USPL.exe (2.5 version).

The divice restarted and show me this:

Tricolor Screen

BLAC100

SPL-1.15 USPL

Micro-BlackStone (Led) V6

Now I'm ready to flash to Dutty 2.7 ROM.

Is this correct? Or am I missing something here?

Thanks.

Downloaded the new 2.7 rom and glad the new rom was released as I did install the 2.6 rom 2 days ago and had the corrupted colours because I was on the 1.54 SPL.

I noticed that the boot up shows the HTC word but no logo, is this normal as the stock rom has a logo?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] d.cortez:
i'm about to flash my UK HD... since the newly released HTC ROM is for unbranded UK HD devices i should be ok. what i'm not sure of is the impact of flashing the new

HTC ROM

(with the new 1.56 kernel) AND

radio

on my Telstra HD and how it might alter/affect the 850 3G radio/access in the USA. i know we can flash radios with HardSPL, but can you flash a radio with USPL? thanks to anyone who can provide feedback on my situation.

i followed instruction and all good, man flashing is becoming more complicated :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kuwait:
Dear Dutty,

I always used USPL for flashing.

Now my HD is with originat SPL 1.14 and some cooked ROM

May I directly flash with stock 1.56 ROM original upgrade file and after that to flash your ROM with USPL? I downloaded the 1.56 upgrade ROM from HTC site just for my serial number.

Or stock 1.56 will give error because of the cooked ROM even SPL is original?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
yes youre going to need the new spl so flashing the upgrade first then uspl to flash my rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] duttythroy:
I'm off now, still easter and I'm going out now to finish enjoy easter. I hope all ios good for everyone Its hard for me to explain sometimes but I think I made it clear on how the upgrade should go.

happy easter again to all , hope everyone had a good time for those who celebrated it.

Chao
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] IrfanSEAT:
Why is this one more difficult lol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
That should work. Otherwise, first go back to older ROM with old stock SPL. And then upgrade to 1.56 ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
Just checked, working for me (with msvc)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
MattRob, I've got a question. Does SPL need to be compatible to Rom? I mean, if I flash stock ROM which is different than the one I had in my Touch HD originally and then flash stock SPL, won't it brick my device after checking CID and 'realising' that it doesn't match flashed ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DigiTuur:
Thanks Dutty for the new ROM

I will flash tomorrow.

Doesn't seem to be that complicated, since I used USPL before.:D

As a token of my appreciation I made a small donation.

Have a nice Easter evening and thanks again

1st boot my screen like a broken LCD panel.Color is interesting and hard to see screen.I tried hard reset now but same,what is the problem ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
The problem is that you haven't read what Dutty wrote. You have to flash 1.56 stock ROM to make your device 2.7-friendly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] utnicki.h:
Hi Throy,

I'm from Poland where base 1.56 is not supported.What must to do for flashing your 2.7 rom?Is this possible?When I try flash RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe have problem with somethings numbers.Now downloading second rom and try,but what if this to be impossible?

Best regards

Sorry for my bad english

With second 1.56 rom this same error:VALID WENDER NUMBER or something like that:/

HELP!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alf_nzb:
Flashing with USPL does not seem to work for me

Hmm Guys,

not sure what I am doing wrong, but what I understood from the available information is that you could only flash this new rom using uspl2.5 (and not use HSPL).

Well, I have never used HPSL and flashed all the previous ROMs using uspl.

Therefore I did the same with the new 2.7 ROM, but I am experiencing the same issue (blurred windows mobile screen) as described in one of the previous posts.

So the question is what am I doing wrong?

Could use some help here since I like duty's roms and would like to start using this new 2.7 version.

Cheers,

Alf

Thank you

Different flashing

For those who used USPL flashing method before,the only thing "new" about this flashing method is that we have to use USPL 2.5 to generate 1.54.USPL instead of 1.14.USPL or 1.15.USPL like we used to before the new 1.56.4xx.x ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
That is true, but you will notice that the device is becoming extremely slow and will have freezes all time. This will not make you happy ! Really, try to get SPL 1.54 by installing the new HTC shipped ROM 1.56.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] germaansboefje:
Nope, it isn't just the same....you'll first have to install the original HTC-update, otherwise you'll get the "blurry" screen

boot.exe Alert after Softreset

Hello Dutty...

Just flashed your ROM and updated the Cabs you have have provided in the download.

Everything is working AWESOM. Thanks for this ROM.

I have a small problem. After a soft reset.. I am getting the following alert

"The file 'boot' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components is not right.. bhal.. bhla.. bhla..."

But everything works just fine after I hit OK. Do you know what is causing this alert???

One more thing with the Push Internet cab. I installed this cab.. but I am not getting the Push Internet pages in the Opera Tab. Can you tell me how this is suppose to work? I was under the impression that I would have up to 5 tabs to add Push internet pages in the Opera browser and since your ROM does not have that as default... I thought this CAB would enable it.

Please let me know when ever you get a chance.

thanks you again for your AWESOME ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WhO_KnOwS:
Is it just me or does the new rom come with a strange new theme?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
Please understand, there always be a risk, playing with hard SPL and USPL, that you will brick your device ....

But if you try and CID does not match, it will not accept your flash and will return to your old situation. So that should not be the problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MattRob:
That is correct, it is the rhodium T-mobile manilla, solving the facebook issue, I think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
That is what I meant. I know that there is a risk but I wanted to know whether an attempt to flash and fail will make my device not responsive. I wasn't precise enough. Anyway, I will try flashing 1.56 in a moment.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] funk1980:
I'm curious about this too. It doesn't make any sense to me to flash the Radio (ROM I can understand). So can anyone please clarify if it's necessary or not, perhaps with some explaination.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
AFAIK the newest radio (1.13.25.24) is installed anyway when you install the official 1.56 ROM to get 1.54 SPL. So you will be back at 1.13 after completing everything anyway...

Hello,

I also have a question about flashing this new rom. Currenly i have installed Dutty 2,4 and used the hard spl method.

After reading this thread dutty's ''howto'' are the following steps:

-Download relevant Stock HD Rom here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...stone_Ship_exe

Now download and flash one of the latest stock HD 1.56 ROMS here:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...stone_Ship_exe

Whats the different between ''Download relevant Stoch HD Rom here'' and Download en flash one of the latest stock HD 1.56 roms here''

Is it not just possible use step 3? So only flash the 1.56? I mean, this is also a shipped / stock rom included with the orignal radio right?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Not so; I'm using an Orange branded handset and flashed to a stock rom (europe) with 1.51 SPL and then used USPL again to flash to Dutty's. Got my google exchange info in and all is as it should be already.

So far; I'm impressed! It's like having a new phone :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
In your bootloader screen it needs to say 1.51 SPL, if you've got HSPL it won't. You have to flash to a stock Rom that comes with 1.51 SPL and then flash again with Duttys Rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Possible:
Ok so the following steps are:

1 Download and flash relevant Stock HD Rom.

2 Flash the orginal SPL back (1.14)

3 Download and flash latest stock HD 1.56 ROM.

4. Download and flash duttys rom with USPL

This is the correct method?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
Just flashed my device with 1.56 and this is really surprising but it's working. Usually polish devices are cid locked and my device was branded by Play Mobile so I suppose it's a miracle. One step away from 2.7 :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Sounds about right. I'd never flashed my HD prior to this one so I started on Step 3 (flashing the new Stock Rom). So looks to me like you'll have to flash 3 times in total. Restore to Orig, Flash new, Flash Custom (Dutty) Rom. Fun for you :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Also, if you're worried of messing anything up. Just make a note of your current info. Boot the phone up normal and write down the R, G, D info. Boot into bootloader and jot down everything. I did that just incase and have it stored for a rainy day :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
Should it write 1.15 USPL or 1.56 USPL on the bootscreen when flashing 2.7?

Mine was 1.15 although I flashed the device previously.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marktang:
is there a more simple method that this? lol. im running on windows 7 and i dont want it to screw up my phone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Possible:
Ok thanks for the info but i still have 1 question.

Is is this not possible:

1 From my dutty 2.4 rom --> Flash to a 1.56 directly (skip the first step)

2 After 1.56 is flashed, restore 1.14 or 1.15 SPL

3. Then use USPL to flash the new Dutty's 2.7 rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nicelad_uk:
Your links dont work...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] asci:
Very good rom!

* One question: in your readme.txt I read:

New Comm Manager right menu settings disable in The Topaz Rom can be Enabled...

What about it? How to enable?

* One more question...

how to uninstall bbc player?

And...new default wallpaper image has a poor definition. If you look better in mail account before setting, in the upper part of wallpaper you will find some horizontal bars with undefined color due to the low quality of the image. I don't like it on such a performant display. How to change it in all tabs? How to revert back to black based wallpaper?

THX a lot!

Thank you very much.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Broicher:
Hi, I hd your 2.4 EXTREME ROM on my TOUCH HD running good , (o2 Germany). Now I flashed the 2.7 Version and my device starts up in strange colors (somewhat green or so) When I press the switch to turn off the device shortly, it turns black, when I press the switch again, it turns on and shows the right colors. But after a while it freezes, for example when it comes to "align screen".

the mobile part is also not working, I can only use WiFi, but not the phone, It does not even ask me to enter the PIN....

What shall I do, any tricks you can recommend? Or shall I go back to Version 2.4?

Regards and thanks for your efforts :O)

I will donate again soon for your good work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
No, this will not work... You can't flash to 1.56 without restoring 1.14 FIRST!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rlatarche:
Any chance you can talk me through the process saying which spl etc you downloaded and used. . . .thanks!

Did you miss out the step of flashing to a 1.56 ROM before going to Dutty's 2.7 ROM? also is your phone unlocked because the new roms install a higher radio which will lock a locked orange phone?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
Just finished the process. 2.7 flashed and ready to use. :D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Once more:

- This ROM can only be flashed using USPL 2.5 (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462347)!

- This ROM requires SPL 1.54!

- To get SPL 1.54, the newest 1.56 stock ROM (here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe) has to be flashed!

- 1.56 stock ROMs can only be flashed using the stock 1.14 SPL!

- If you have never used HSPL, you can go ahead and flash the 1.56 stock ROM to get SPL 1.54 and then use USPL to flash Duttys ROM.

- If you have used HSPL, you have to get rid of it first by flashing a earlier stock ROM (here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe) which will bring you back 1.14 SPL. Then you can flash the 1.56 stock ROM, followed by using USPL to flash Duttys ROM.

Hope I didn't make any mistakes explaining here... ;)

P.S. If you have problems installing the 1.56 ROM on your device, try installing it using USPL as well.

P.S. You only have to do this once! The ROMs Dutty (and many others) will be releasing in the future will all require SPL 1.54!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Possible:
Ehmm i think that link is not correct. The link you gave us shows 1.56 roms.

I think you mett this link?

Ow om sorry :) I didnt see that:) But for the people wich are new with flashing its misunderstanding :) prehaps my link is ''safer'' :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] funk1980:
Here I am, quoting myself :D

I just went for it and found out something I (and appearantly others too) didn't know; The radio is flashed too when updating with an original ROM. So the first step, restoring the stock ROM, restores the original Radio as well...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geekbuddha:
Telestra 8285 and 2.7

I have the Telstra device too. I reverted back to the stock Telstra ROM and stock SPL. Then had to use USPL to install the 1.56 ROM because otherwise I was getting wrong device id. Once I got the 1.56 ROM installed and got SPL 1.54 then I was able to use USPL to install 2.7. The same should be true for the Orange locked devices too.

still able to connect to ATT 850 and getting my H...so its all good. Now to get all my customizations done
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Killian12321:
Not sure whether its unlocked. I bought it from Mobiles2yourdoor.com on the orange network and it is orange branded.

I first downloaded the USPL files and used that to flash 'RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship'. Then I used USPL to flash Dutty's Rom. Didn't even bother booting up after the first flash, just went ahead and flashed dutty's.

The phone seems to be working well and I can place/receive calls as well as browse the internet. Nothing is locked.

my bootloader says SPL-1.14.OliNex can I just flash the new rom or do I need to do all that restore stock rom stuff
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
If it says so it means that you have hardspl. It also means that you need to do all mentioned things. Restore Stock ROM, restore spl, upgrade to 1.56, then using uspl upgrade to Dutty's 2.7
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
No, you have to go back to the stock 1.14 SPL according to this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Rom156
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Hummm... Why isn't it possible to use USPL to flash the 1.56 ROM? It should be because I think that's what I did 2 days ago...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rakec00:
solved,i need to instal uspl before flashing ship 1.56 rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geekbuddha:
it is, thats what I did. But if you have HSPL installed then just installing 1.56 doesnt update the SPL to 1.54. So first you need to go back to stock SPL 1.14 and then install 1.56 either directly or via USPL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
It is possible to flash it using uspl but then your SPL won't be upgraded and you will end up with graphic problems after flashing Dutty's 2.7
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
It won't work. You can't upgrade to 1.56 using USPL. The point is that you MUST upgrade your HD to 1.56 from original Stock Rom and SPL without hardspl or uspl.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
If it says 1.56.00.00 in device information than it gives you version of ROM not of SPL. I may be wrong but you will still need to reflash your HD with 1.56 without USPL.

Is it OK to 2.7 update now ? Can I update now
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:
I won't agree. It was stated before that by upgrading to 1.56 using USPL you make it impossible to upgrade SPL and only ROM and Radio i upgraded. Maybe I understood it incorrectly and therefore I won't argue. It is important to make this ROM work on each device, not to argue about methods.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pw120:
No, its impossible to upgrade SPL to 1.54 using HSPL.

USPL works fine and is used by people like me, who have a device where they cant upgrade normally to ROM 1.56 and SPL 1.54 due to a CID mismatch, however HSPL must still be removed first or it wont work at all
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
No, you have to install the newest stock ROM (1.56) to get SPL 1.54 first! See my post a few pages earlier... (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3614216&postcount=1538)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mishael:

My Experience (Bad) with Europe Stock ROM

Just my short input on the process, which is now all ok and running 2.7.

Had no issues going back from HSPL to stock 1.14 ROM and SPL, however I used the Europe 1.14 Stock ROM and it would not let me go to a stock 1.56 ROM, not even using USPL as it would always just hang.

Anyway I had to flash back using USPL to a stock 1.14 WWE ROM and then using USPL again to go to 1.56 stock ROM, then USPL to 2.7 Dutty ROM.

This was using an Orange Branded Handset - hope this might be useful if anyone else with these particular criterion is having an issue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] s1rl4ncel0t:
