[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pinx:
Dutty, great ROM ! :cool:

Had to flash it on two machines, my PC, running W7 and HTPC, running good old XP :D

I almost blacked out when HTPC rebooted itself @ 75% of flashing. Bastard. I managed it through, though. Good thing we have USPL :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shival:
Thats the problem though. I can not get the drivers installed.

I have followed the directions here:

http://www.modaco.com/content/windo...u-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/

Using the USB Vista x64 drivers from the Upgrade/Downgrade post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3535840&postcount=6

But they don't install.

Supposedly USPL 2.5 runs fine with vista. So I do not get why I even need the drivers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] josephlck:
Yeah. But which ones work? Don't want to have to hardreset again :S
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
On my PC a new device appears under "mobile devices" or something like that further up the list!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
You have to replace the driver Windows installs for the device when connected in bootloader-mode because it uses a different "USB-port". USPL is therefore unable to connect to the device using these drivers! It just can't find it! Using the older drivers fixes this problem...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shival:
I am doing this in Bootloader mode.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] VizagDude:
Unless you are into Manila modding, you cannot change that. This is the new them from Rohdium ROM (I think) that Dutty has used for his ROM. Personally... I LOVE it.

Interesting Active Sync Issue

So I am all setup and running with 2.7. Used my home machine to setup the phone, copy data etc...everything is hunky dory.

Come into my office and want to activate IRM, connect to my work machine and the machine refuses to recognize the device in Active Sync mode. I can connect to it as an external disk drive...but for active sync...no sirreee...of course I tried the multiple reboots of the PC and phone...different USB ports etc...but no luck. Didnt have this with 2.6 or before. Thinking maybe its the drivers and I need to downgrade them but cant do that unless the machine recognizes the device and adds it to the device tree. Its a Win 7 machine running build 7000....exact same setup as my home machine.

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

So I finally managed to downgrade the drivers, in bootloader mode the PC maanged to pick up the device. Now back to full boot and nada....the phone simply doesnt get recognized. (yes I did click USB connections back on)

********

I have Win Vista 64 and I managed to run USPL after much annoyance.

It is CRITICAL that you press F8 and choose to allow Vista to use unsigned drivers, (called Disable Driver

Signature Enforcement) otherwise Vista will load the normal driver which do not work.

Or, at least it is on my computer. I can start normal, but then USPL can not connect. As soon as I reboot and press F8 and choose to allow unsigned drivers, HSPL will work like a charm.

BTW, I followed THIS guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3331078

Lets try this again. I need help flashing to 2.7.

Currently

I have flashed back to my original ROM and Radio.

I have Flashed back to the Original SPL and the BootLoader screen says SPL-1.14.0000

According to MAMeingast's Guide I should now Flash the 1.56 HTC ROM but when doing this, it fails with a Vendor ID error

A possible solution stated is to use USPL which was my original problem.

USPL will not work on my Computer.

I am running Vista 64 bit.

With the Device plugged in and in bootloader mode I have tried to update the drivers with the posted x64 usb drivers which also Fails.

Please help me.

I have tried pushing F8 during boot and nothing happens for my computer. And now I can not get the downloaded x64 drivers to install again. =/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
I guess the problem really is that nothing happens when you hit F8 - as it seems that this step is absolutely necessary:

So there seems to be a problem with your Vista setup... :/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZekeWolf:
Yes you have a problem. You really need to get USPL to work to flash the new ROM.

Sad if you cannot get F8 to work - do you press it repeatadly during startup? You have to press it several times, not hold it.

Otherwise, there are a couple of programs out there that can do this for you. Search for "vista 64 enable F8" in google or alike.

Good luck mate.

2.7 question

I have dutty 2.6.....

Does this 2.7 version also have the call history list that shows the picture of the contact beside the contact(dutty's 2.6 did). I ask because other Rhodium/Topaz based roms dont have this feature, they ony show contact name and an icon showing whether the call was incoming, outgoing or missed. This feature of showing a contact picture in the call history list is of paramount importance to me. So please can someone who has already ugraded to 2.7 answer this question for me??

Thanks for any answer in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
You should be able to install an english 1.56 ROM using USPL! Atleast worked for me!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] smiter:
try this if you have green screen or problem with flashing:

do it all in bootloader mode (with device off - hold vol down then press power button)

1) Flash stock rom to get stock spl:

2) Flash USPL and then flash to latest HTC 1.56:

3) Flash another time USPL and then flash custom ROM

all you need is here:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZekeWolf:
It does have the contact card next to name and number, exactly as it was in 2.6, I believe.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shival:
Wow. Big news!

I found the Boot Menu Thing!

Same Problem though.

In the boot menu I made it so Unsigned drivers will work and booted up.

Then I tried to Install the x64 drivers from the guide from zeke's first post but it failed because "Windows encountered an error while attempting to install it" blah but the error is "This device cannot start (Code 10)"

Any ideas?

update.

I forgotten that tomorrows was my daughter will be in the hospital for a mini operation, shes taken her tonsils out, and I have been busy with the misses getting things ready for tomorrow.

I will be out for couple days as she will need 2 weeks to recover and I'm not sure how long she will be in hospital.

This morning I said i will upload a rom with the topaz manila for those who didnt like the rhdoium tmobile version.

I have uploaded here and havent no time to upload it to my server as I just reach home and have a long day tomorrow.

Its still based on the 1.54 version so uspl is needed.

For those who can flash and compare both manilas I will see which to work on. also if they can test sms unicode and worldclock time issue.

after that, use t he same USPL method to flash dutty 2.7
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shival:
Omg omg omg

You know how I got that error right?

I checked the properties of the driver afterwars and it said it was an unsigned driver so I was like oooo hmmm. So I rebooted and did F8 blah blah. After I got logged in I ran USPL and it didn't work.....

So I got a little "Mad" and kept clicking it in a frenzy and saw that it kinda stayed open one of the times so I kept doing it and got it to stay once and it ran its course and worked. Now my device is back at the Bootloader screen and it says SPL-1.15.USPL. I am rather excited. Is it supposed to say that? I have no idea what to do now lol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
LOL

That's great news - even if it doesn't make any sense! ;)

Now you have to flash the newest official ROM (starting with 1.56.X)! This automatically installs SPL 1.54 which you will need for Dutty's ROM!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZekeWolf:
It is correct!

Now you can flash the file you want, using BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe.

I am just flashing 2.8 :)

Edit #2

Woo.... it recovered. Now I back at the bootloader with only SPL-1.14 again. Should I do USPL and try again?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Osir1s:
I did my upgrade/uspl stuff on a seperate XP machine. Go to Sync my HD on my Vista home machine or my Vista work machine and nothing nada. Shouldnt it just work like the previous roms? I shouldnt have to upgrade/downgrade anything since the Vista machines were used for the rom upgrading anyway...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkRaver:
I would say, keep cool and retry.

It happened to me tonight, I just restarted the flash process again from scratch and everything went well ;)

Sdcard may cause issues with activesync/windows mobile device center

I had issues with Activesync on 2.6 & 2.7. For me the issue was the SDCARD. Try Syncing with NO STORAGE CARD. Worked for me.

I had to backup important things on the card (Music, Pics etc...) then Format the Micro SDCARD. - a proper format and not a quick one. Now I can sync with the Micro SDCARD inserted.

I think when you flash multiple ROMS using the storage card or flash while the card is inserted, it writes something to the card that can cause problems with some ROMS.

It's not the first time I have had issues with flashing ROMS while the SDCARD is inserted now so I NEVER FLASH A ROM WITH THE SDCARD inserted.

Hope that helps

Now I just need to choose between 2.7 and 2.8

Am I going to need to use USPL to install?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZekeWolf:
Yes, you need USPL.

I had some opinions about the 2.7 ROM, didn't like Rhodium and hated the clock. But during yesterday, I adapted. Though, I had some unexpected freezes during the day. Like in stock ROM.

Now I have tried the 2.8 ROM, and I have to say I like it better.

I still have my annoying email bug (it always uses mobile net instead of WIFI, even if I am connected to WIFI. Though, if I have USB cable, then it uses USB to connect to mailbox .. strange), but I have learnt to live with that one.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shival:
It all works so far.

I decided to go with 2.8

Topaz just sounds more cool lol

USPL came conveniently inside of it haha. I am not sure about the Classicstartmenu cab but I won't worry about.

I just hope manila is the same so I can keep working on skinning.

And so the Saga ends!

Hi,

i read all the manuals and i think i did what they suggested. my version was not branded...

anyway, i figured it out in the end:

after the connection error i always got a blue screen with an Multiple_IRP_Complete_Requests error in win xp. this lead me to the conclusion that my usb drivers are somehow instable or just crap.

i reinstalled with the ones which are recommended for the vista- users and then i could flash everything using uspl without any problems. i flashed different country roms. upgrade from 1.14 to 1.56 and downgrade again. and finally the dutty rom. everything worked fine and also without any display problems.

so, if anyone else experiences this error, check ur usb drivers.

And big thx to dutty for the great work. its my first duttyrom and i have to say: this ROCKS. finally a nice and working appropriate OS for my HD. i was already thinking about selling it again. but now...

thx again

WOW, I'm impressed! Thank you Dutty, just installed your 2.8 ROM!!! :):):)

Hey, have you noticed that in this version of Manilla (old classic one in 2.8) the calendar now starts in Monday! In this is not only in calendar, but everywhere where the weekdays are being used - in reminders, alarms, etc.! I love it!

It's more than a great firmware! Everything works perfect and smooth!

P.S. For people having problem with accessing SD card from time to time - I've had the same problem too. The solution is to delete the WMDRM (hidden) directory in the root of the storage card. After that it won't disappear when you're connecting to ActiveSync or Mobile Center.
