My first post here people. Been browsing the forums for some time and trying to absorb some information from the VAST amount of information on this forum!!

Bit confused as to what to do with regards to this new official rom which has been released by HTC.

My HTC is from Orange UK on contract. The ROM currently on it is the 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE.

I entered my serial number on the HTC website but got "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."

However, after obtaining a serial from somewhere else i have been able to download the HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship

I understand the above is the right CID for my phone. I've never used any other "cooked" ROMS or anything like that. Everythin on my phone is stock.

Would I experience any problems upgrading to this ROM?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sp00kydd:
The problem is that you can loose your warranty if you are flashing an original HTC ROM over an Orange branded phone. To flash from 1.14 to 1.56 read this carefully!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sp00kydd:
Download for 1.56 German + Spanish and 1.57 WWE HKCSL is working now from Server Europe2, US and Asia. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Erazor786:
I've read the wiki carefully and understand most of it.

With regards to warranty, if the need arises to send the phone back, could i not just flash the Orange branded ROM that was on the phone previuosly back to the phone? I'm under the impression that it is available in this thread

Having never used a cooked ROM or installed HardSPL, i shouldn't encounter any problems (i.e Green screen)?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Erazor786:
Just a little update. Just flashed the new ROM released via USPL 2.5 using the GUI created by Crackwhore (great little program, Huge thank you!) and all seems well. Only time will tell, but at the moment nothing wrong.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sp00kydd:
Sure if you can access the phone you can flash it back to stock rom.

I'm on my stock asia rom with stock spl v1.14. Can i directly execute the official HK ROM update below to flash my device?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] navahoo:
anybody already figured out or just got a good explanation why the new german rom is only shipped with the 1.12 radio?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phonatrep:
Since I installed this official HTC ROM (v1.56.406.1), incoming SMS messages don't ring any bell, no noise at all.

I think I have settings all right (incoming messages are set to ring) here :

Settings-->Sound and notifications-->Notifications.

It was working all right on the old ROM (v1.14)

Do you have the same problem ?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phonatrep:
Ok, I found the solution, there is a GUI initialization bug, so you have to switch the above settings on and off, until it works.

Just setting the right stuff is not enough, you have to switch it several times, and then it works.

updating rom

Hi everybody! great forum here... helped me a lot, but in between so many wiki pages and threads, I kindof got lost with all the info...

Background on the SO's I have access to:

Vista ultimate 64 bits

XP Sp3 32 bits

Windows 7 32 bits

So, the story: new blackstone bought in spain, want to change it to english stock rom 1.56.401.0 | EUR_WWE |, and Im having a few small problems...

My blackstone came originally with the 1.14 Rom,which I upgraded into 1.56.412.1 | Spanish |, via the official Rom downloaded with my serial number from the HTC official page. This means I now have the SPL 1.54 original from htc in my blackstone. So far so good....

Now, I want to change to stock rom 1.56.401.0 | EUR_WWE |, so everything is in english (I live in spain, i am portuguese, but all my gadgets and pcs are in english...a perfect way never to forget other languages)...

I could upgrade it after flashing Hard-spl, but Im guessing that would void my warranty, and since Im new to the HTC HD stuff, I want to play with the official Rom before adventuring into more "hardcore" stuff (flashing cooked roms, non-official spl etc)...So Id like to keep a stock SPL for a few months for warranty purposes...until I get to know a little better this awesome gadget.

The thing is: I could use the USPL, but the wiki "Quick flash guide with USPL (instructions also for Vista & Windows 7)" gives me this info:

So, for safety reasons, using USPL to flash the stock 1.56 english rom is out of the question I guess...

My question is: which is the safest way to flash a stock rom (with different language that the one from my blackstone), mainting the official SPL (thus avoiding the risk of loosing warranty)? Should I use USPL, despite the above mentioned warning? Should I try to do it with HSPL and then revert the SPL to a official one (I dont even know if that is possible)?

Can anyone give me a hand with this situation?

Thank you all for the attention!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDuser:
Nice post lots of good info and proves that you have read.

This is the way I see it

you have 1.56.412.1 | Spanish its offical and lagit.

On top of that you have the stock rom (as you flashed it). So you can always go back to it. You will always be able to rebuild your Stock device for warrrenty issues.

Now your question is based on what is the best way for you to flash HSPL or USPL. As you know USPL is not permanat and HSPL is permanant.

So if you use USPL and keep to roms based above SPL 1.54 you wont have the green screen issue however your will always have to use USPL to flash.

If you HSPL you can flash any ship rom you like and it will never do the check device id check. (your deviice is Spanish and you have a missmatch when flashing WWE Error 270 was it not)

So the question is how often do you want to go through the process?

HSPL its once USPL you will have to do everytime.

The bottom line is that you want warnnty and that you can only get with stock rom (that you have).

So to achive that if you have HSPL you have reflash Stock SPL 1.54 which you can get out of the HSPL thread then flash Stock Spanish rom. Don't forget HSPL stops the SPL from being over written which is the trick.

On the other side if you use USPL you wont need to Reflash SPL 1.54 as you have it.

Sort of like the question which came first the chicken or the egg.

Now as to what OS, Given all the OS issues with the USB I would Use XP.

Myself I have a German device, flash WWE roms and use USPL, why when I at last got round to going to 1.56 based roms it was the only solution.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Urhilf:
Ein herzliches Dankeschön! (studied 3 years of german, like 12 years ago...forgot almost everything...Moving to belgium in a couple of monts, trying to recover "le français"... My head is about to explode...)

Thanks for a thorough and rapid answer! :)

In fact, I did read a lot...stayed up last night until 3 AM despite going to work at 9 AM...it was an interesting day, and by the looks of it, tomorrow I'll be a zombie again...

Perfecto! That was exactly my idea...maintain the stock spl and rom until I learn more about all this, and feel more confident with it...

Ok, so I'll give it a try with USPL to flash the stock 1.56.401.0 (EUR_WWE) rom, thus keeping the stock SPL 1.54 (the one that comes with the 1.56.401.0 and 1.56.412.1 stock rom), and ultimately, keeping my warranty.

Lol...nice analogy :)

Answering the question "how often do you want to go through the process?" - for now, taking into account that I work 12 hours a day, sleep about 6 hours, and have no social life, I imagine that I won't go through the process that often...My idea for now is keeping the phone as stable as possible, and then slowly start exploring with new apps, cooked roms, etc (I think that I'll only have time for that by mid-august).

My doubt here is: using USPL to flash a stock rom that includes a stock SPL and that will necessarily flash that SPL to my phone (that actually is the same SPL already present in the phone, since I upgraded it to the official spanish 1.56 rom) - isnt this risky?

Im saying this because of what I quoted in my first post:

I see that you did it, and apparently you had no problem, as others in this thread didnt have as well... But there's still a risk, right? (because Im using USPL to flash a rom that includes a SPL)...

Thanks once again!

Edit:

Just saw you're from Zurich...A great friend of mine was born there, and actually is father still lives there...He is a journalist if I'm not mistaken.

I recently purchased an unlocked Telstra branded HTC HD. I am not with Telstra and do not wish to be either. After heaps of reading I was just after confirmation of the process to flash my ROM.

1. Use USPL to flash to a stock 1.56 ROM - this gives me SPL 1.54

2. Use USPL to flash cooked ROM.

And can I revert back to my stock ROM 1.21.841.1 SPL 1.15.0000 if I have this dl'd from the official site ?

Thanks

I've been reading about flashing on the forum . What I'd like to ask anyone who was on Orange UK rom 1.19.61.1 WWE and flashed to the new official HTC rom is what differences does it make ? Good or bad ? Is it worth doing ? Is the handset better minus the Orange stuff ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoopyLoo:
Not Worth The Trouble

Managed to "upgrade" my HD from its original OrangeUK status to this latest ROM (somewhat tedious but do-able if you manage to find and follow correctly all the relevant advisory threads on this forum).

After a few days of use, everything I've tried and of interest to me, seems to work. However...

1) Apart from a very few minor tweaks there's nothing really new in this ROM,

2) The basic signal sensitivity (the one for actually making voice calls with!) is no better,

3) The battery life sucks!

Re (2); I've always considered this feature of the HD to be poor, right from first having the phone (owned it about 3 months now) and I've yet to come across anything that imroves it. And I've tried every Radio I've found so far!

Re (3); The battery is down to 50% (indicated) in about 12hrs now, even with little to no use. Needs full recharge inside of a 1.5 days - how rubbish is that!

The phone MIGHT be a little faster (bit subjective to tell for sure) but nothing to get excited about.

All in all, this ROM is a waste of time, as far as I'm concerned - dont bother with it.

So what's the latest and greatest out there out there people?

HELLO sp00kydd;3584516 or ANYONE I NEED HELP

:eek:

I bought a HTC HD phone used in the Portuguese language. When I go to the official HTC site and entered my serial number appears in a ROM 1:56 DUTCH. Because of this soon realized that this cell had been modified. Making the bootloader (tricolours) found in the bootloader screen doing the following:

BLAC100 32M

SPL - 1.14 OLINEX

MICROP - BLACKSTONE (LED) V6

My doubt is whether to install the original HTC most current version Portuguese (1.56..), I need to do the procedure HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to update again or with the data above I can install directly the 1:56 ORIGINAL PORTUGUESE ROM?

If not I must update to HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex from 1.14 Olinex version?? The update to the OLINEX1.56 will be recognized automatically? And then can proceed with the new ROM update for _HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_PTG_1.56.410.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship? In this way I will get success?

About Rom upgrade procedure

Hi all.

I would like to update the following HD (branded TIM):

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.13.0000

MicroP-BlackStone (Led) v6

Device Info:

ROM Version 1.13.401.0 (20428)ITA

ROM Date 10/25/08

Radio Version 1.09.25.14

Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26W

with the RUU_BlackStone_HTC_ITA_1.56.408.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

But I am very confused on the exact procedure to do it.

I read that I can't use the original HTC Update because I will get an "Invalid Vendor ID" error.

And then?

Here begin my confusion!

1 - I read that I will need to change the SPL, but HSPL or USPL and witch version?

2 - Update the SPL is a different process from the Rom upgrade? Or both upgrades are made in the same session?

3 - The file I downloaded from HTC is including the Radio Rom update?

I have a lot of other doubts, but for now it's all.

Thanks for help

I think you will need to restore the original SPL first, because HSPL is locked doesnt allow the new ROM to upgrade to the latest SPL? The new SPL is needed or you will get the green screen corruption problems as seen in the other thread. If the ROM won't upgrade on standard SPL because of CID then you can use USPL.
