i solved my problem, i guess so, i hard reset the device, and turn off, then put it in bootloader and connected the usb to the vista laptop, then immediately run the blac_USPL.exe from command prompt and it installed USPL and instead of SPL.1.54000 i saw SPL.USPL and i ran the 2.9 rom and bingo its installing, its 38% installed and i am sure this has worked.

3 hours, and finally found the solution. Thanks to CrackWhore , appreciate your post.

it seems that that was the problem on my side as well

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jacquiegardner:
This was the ticket. I'm fully upgraded to 1.56. Am I good to go for Dutty's ROM now? Or should I do something else. Sorry about the previous post the instructions are in the Dummies guide :( I should have ready further along.

It is really nice having standard ROM again. The autoconfiguration is really nice feature and I missed having it.

Thanks for your help. My donation is on the way!

do not drug it over the wrapper.exe.

drug it to the same folder where the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe is located, but after launching it

(you will see more than one file there after you launch the wrapper.exe. and one of them is 'RUU_Signed.nbh'. So you have to overwrite it with the new one.)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Charlie3999:
What I'm saying I can't even start the wrapper. It comes up with an error and I have downloaded another and that is the same.

Thaknk you

Hello,

I just wanted to say thanks for the links for Vista (used the USB drivers for vista 32bits) , I have followed all the steps (from putting back the offical stock spl through the new :p:p).. it is a little bit hard when you are not very familiar with the DOS language at all :p but i manage to do it!! flashed rom 2.9 and I am crossing my fingers for I am at 98% now

Just thank you for the explanations.

For the last step i drank an orange juice instead lool
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Charlie3999:
I've sorted it now thanks, I hadn't reinstalled .net runtime back on my pc after a format.

Fialure...

I'm stuck on stage 2!!! :confused:

When I try and flash the ROM to my phone it comes back with an error saying "ERROR [249] invalid operator id" (I guess cos it's an ORANGE UK phone and they have locked it to that for updates?)

Can anyone help?!

Becoming desperate

Hello

I received my new phone 2 days ago and since them i have been trying to flash it, without success.

Things i have tried so far:

[HSPL]

- normal procedure. With two different computers it always gets stuck at 0%. It is also strange that the 1.56 wrapper doesn't show my current version 1.14

- hard reset, then remove the battery and run the bootloader again. The same problem as above

[USPL]

- When it runs it shows the bootloader screen, but when i connect the usb cable, it doesn't appear any text showing "USB".

Could you please give me any idea about what to do next?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
remove the usb cable and replug it .. then it'll say "usb"

and for hspl connect it in the active sync mode for updating to hspl...

this is assuming u hv all drivers necessary..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Micru:
Thank you! It worked!

The new rom is running :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
glad ur back in business..

enjoy flashing!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buembel:
Hey guys..

Trying USPL, but at the moment running USPL.exe doesn't work:

I'm in bootloader, which says: SPL-1.54.0000

I haven't done anything so far than switching to bootloader, it already was 1.54.0000 from the beginning. When i plugged in USB, it said "USB" on the bottom.

I've already tried installing the new sync drivers - when choosing them in device manager it says "already installed". But when I try to launch USPL.exe it always says "Is your phone in bootloader? If so, you..."

Can anyone please help? :D

/e: found out my mistake - had to force device manager to install drivers... :D

Active sync in bootlogger

Hi,

I have been tryng to flash a rom for 3 days now.

My problem is that although active sync works OK when the phone is attacehed normally, it wont connect when in bootlogger mode, any ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
check ur spl version by entering boot loader.

to enter bootloader press vol down+pwr key.

it'll read sum thin lik blac100 etc,etc..

the numbers 1.xx.00000 is ur spl version.

if xx is less than 54 then u need to upgrade ur spl to 1.54 or hspl 1.56 olinex.

now what u need to use (hspl, uspl) depends on u.

1. hspl olinex will update ur spl in a way that u can flash any cooked rom jus lik ne stock rom..i.e u just run the ruu utility and it flashes the new rom.

2.if u use uspl u'll have to run uspl each time u need to update to another rom and for this u'll need a pc each time u need to update..

so the options are urs .. decide and let know so that we can help u further.

also please state ur spl version nextim for better help..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
ok.. well need more information..

lik what is the OS on the comp u r using to update..

and have u updated the driverrs of ur pc to the req drivers listed in the first post for the boot loader..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Aromatical:
It's OK now. After reading this forum for a couple of months and not seeing the solution, it's amazing that you fix a problem withnin minutes of posting it.

The solution was to disable USB in active sync.

Thanks for the help anyway, will have to get my eyes fixed so I can read these forums better.

Hi, followed this exactly, but can't get past error 262. I've looked to see what the error is and followedthe solution but still no joy. I'm on orange stock rom.

Anyone help me?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
put your phone on USPL first before you flash your SPL/ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lunakirb:
thanks

thank you for providing us this useful information.. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
How do I do this? I followed Crackwhores guide to a T but nothing...have i missed something?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
What he is referring to is that you have to put USPL onto your device before you can flash a new rom or radio.

Where have you got to on his guide? What does your SPL say in bootloader?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
Use this method only if you selected the USPL route from the first post!

USPL1 - Downloads

(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip

(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip

(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip

(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7 linked here

(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip

(USPL1f) Extract each item to its own folder

USPL2 - Updating HTC USB Sync driver

(USPL2a) Follow my guide here on updating the HTC USB Sync driver.

USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000)

(USPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

(USPL3b) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (USPL1b). Do not click any buttons on the screen when the application appears.

(USPL3c) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from the download in step (USPL1a) and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from. If you get an error message saying that the file is already in use that is because you clicked one or more buttons in the HardSPL application window once it appeared. If that happens to you, exit from it, start it again, and DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.

(USPL3d) Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock 1.54.0000 SPL to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.

This is where I got to.... then got error 262. In bootloader it says 1.14. I'm trying to upgrade to 1.56, then a new rom from there.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You are going down USPL route and your bootloader states 1.14, correct?

What you are trying to do now is get 1.54.0000 on your device.

1. Put your phone into bootloader.

2. Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe. A screen will pop up. Do not click or touch anything on this screen just yet.

3. If you go into folder were HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe was located on your pc, you will notice a number of files were created after you ran this file.

4. Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip into the folder/directory mentioned in No.3, i.e. location where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from and overwrite/replace the existing RUU_Signed.nbh.

5. Now go back to the pop up screen which appeared after you ran HardSPL application and follow the on screen instructions as normal.

After this is complete your SPL should state SPL 1.54.0000

Now carry on cRaCKwHoRe's instructions and run USPL on your device. Your SPL should then change to SPL v 1.15.USPL. Now you are ready to flash rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
Yep, done that and I still get error 262. Am I meant to have anything installed on my phone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Shouldn't matter if you have anything installed on device, though it would be an idea to try hard resetting device and then trying it again.

Quote from wiki section

Error 262 - This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
Hmmm may just give up lol. Taken me 6 months to get this far, only another 6 months to go and i'll have a new one to play with.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Wouldn't give up mate. If USPL route fails, try using HSPL instead.

Your SPL is 1.14. Run HSPL 1.14, then HSPL 1.56 then flash stock 1.56 rom then flash whichever rom you were looking for
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
if you are trying to flash stock SPL 1.54 to your phone, you must run USPL on your phone first prior to the SPL flash. This step is missing somehow in Crackwhore's guide, and for me, I can only flash stock SPL 1.54 after I run USPL on my phone's bootloader.

see the first video if you don't understand what I was referring to.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
Not to sound thick lol, but how do I run USPL on my phone?

Error [208] Need help

Hi guys, i'm another newb around.

Can anyone help. I'm trying to flash my rom from (orange) 1.14 to 1.56 (USPL method) using the Dummies Guide. I downloaded all that I was suppose to in USPL1 Downloads. Installed .net 3.5, upgraded my usb driver. When I'm on 'USPL3b' and try to run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, I get the this error: " Error [208] : FILE OPEN The Update Utility can not open the requested file. Please check your Update Utility"... I tried downloading this file about 3 times then running it, but get the same error message. I'm using windows XP. What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
1. power off your phone, then put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the volume down and power button simultaneously.

2. usb connect your phone with your desktop. make sure that your desktop's activesync has the setting usb connection turned off

3. run uspl program (blac_uspl.exe for command line, or UPSL.exe for GUI)

4. your phone would flash for a second, and you would see the bootloader showing 1.14 (or is it 1.15 I can't remember) USPL

check this video blog (first video) if you cna't visualise anything from the above

Yes mate. Just decide which you want and then follow USPL or HSPL route and you'll be fine

Hi all, i have a problem flashing my phone using HSPL. I noticed when running the file HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe it doesnt read my current ROM information its all blank apart from the ROM im trying to install. When I start the process i get 0% then an error 262 appears after a few minutes. Ive tried the manual SSPL method and does the same thing. Im running windows vista 32bit is this a problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Havok316uk:
ive got over the information missing problem which was because i had the phone in bootloader mode before attempting the flash.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION

This error occurs when the RUU cannot make a connection to the device right before flashing. This typically happens when you try to flash a new SPL to your device.

What you need to do is use Soft-SPL before attempting the RUU again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
exactly.

I think the instruction needs to be updated because this soft-SPL step is missed out in the USPL method.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I think cRaCKwHoRe's guide is excellent for noobs and he should get plenty of praise for this. A little tweaking in relation to reading this would maybe perfect this guide. Only problem with this is that you are limited to amount of characters you are allowed in each post, and I know from talking to cRaCKwHoRe that he spent a long time trying to fit this guide into the allotted space, so maybe he has no more room for changes etc. I know cRaCKwHoRe and he is a sound guy and would take constructive criticism well. So you could maybe PM him and provide your suggestions for changes!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
What SSPL step in USPL?

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I am assuming (I know should never ASSUME anything as it makes an ASS out of U and ME) he means what I posted in my last post regarding ERROR 260 and that you'd need to use Soft-SPL before attempting the RUU again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
Hi DaveShaw,

from my own experience (and from what I have heard from some guys here after they encountered the problem), there's additional step required between USPL3a and USPL3b. The missing step is essentially the same as USPL5b/USPL5c.

I have also made a video based on cRaCKwHoRe's instructions, so if you think it's useful you can extract the two videos from this link
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
Agree, sorry if my earlier comment appears to be criticising the excellent work which has benefited everybody including myself! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lucas0511:
Forgive me if there is a solution somewhere in these 1222 posts, but a friend's USB port on the HD is no longer working. He managed to flash the ROM back to original (for service under warranty), but how about removing HardSPL via SDCard only? BTW he had to buy a different SDCard than the original to be able to flash from card at all.

This is a problem that could hit all of us HardSPL users. Please help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
i think it'll be worth a try to flas the stock spl frm the sdcard.

jus rename the stock spl to blacimg.nbh nd flash..

the result can be a happy one sumtimes
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bilal_hamid:
EDIT: I was stuck earlier on trying to update my ROM but I just got it working now.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lucas0511:
Thanks for your lead, my friend was able to flash his HD back to stock ROM and in 2nd flash stock SPL, after transfering both to MicroSD via PC adapter. HD's USB still not working, so sent for service under warranty now.

Flashing via SD Card

Hi,

Just got the Touch HD and really want to Flash to WM6.5 from Dutty. Not exactly a noob, have been flashing my Sony Xperia X1 for sometime now.

For my Sony, I am flashing the ROMs using the SD Card, after installing thr HSPL.

1. Copy KOCSIMG.nhb to root directory of SD Card (formatted in FAT32).

2. Insert SD Card into PPC Slot.

3. Go to boot loader screen (Vol down key + Power button)

4. The HSPL boot loader reconize the ROM and ask to confirm flash by pressing the power.

5. Press Power button and the Flashing begins.

6. Flashing completes

7. Hard Reset and done !

Is there a similar HSPL for the Touch HD ?

Many thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes, indeed. Look at the stickies in this forum. Particularly this guide and the HSPL thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phone_fanatic:
Thanks for the post. After following all your steps will I have the latest windows or do I have to follow more steps from elsewhere to get the latest windows installed on the phone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
This really depends on the rom you are flashing. Different cooks use different Windows builds. Most of them are pretty current though. Way more current than the official HTC roms anyway. :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fredphoesh:
Hi mate, thanks for the dummies guide, very useful to me.

I noticed something missing, dug it out somewhere else, but it seems this does not work without running USPL.exe before performing step USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000). Then USPL.exe also has to be run when doing the final flashing...

If that is correct, please edit your tutorial, it is of major use to people like me.

Thanks,

Fredphoesh.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Sometimes it works without doing it and sometimes not. Either way- good call. I updated the guide. :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fredphoesh:
cool, tx mate!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phone_fanatic:
So, I can just use your method and do that then use any rom for example miri's rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phone_fanatic:
I may be the dumbest person ever when it comes to these but how do I put the hd into bootloader mode?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, this is correct. Use cRaCKwHoRe's guide and use either USPL or HSPL, then you are able to use Miri's rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
This is asked often...and cRaCKwHoRe actually states how to do this in first post. See below

This tri-colour screen is better known as bootloader.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phone_fanatic:
Ok so here is what I am doing. I press the volume down button and power and a three colored screen pops up (which I am guessing is bootloader mode as well?). So it says this on it:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.0000

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

And it's connected to USB (says at the bottom).

I run the wrapper and after all the steps it gets stuck at 0% and after a while error 262 pops up ,some kind of communication error and then I have to take the battery out and restart the phone.

What is going on here? Help pls!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
read the steps again, you have missed out the USPL step
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Generally speaking if error 262 occurs you should just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process should then continue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phone_fanatic:
So i got it working thanks guys. I used miri's extreme rom. Now does this mean whenever I need to change the rom i just follow the steps from the middle where the rom part started and not the earlier parts?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you are using HSPL, all you need to do is flash rom, no need to use guide again unless you are downgrading to a pre 1.56 rom.

If you are using USPL, all you need to do is re-run USPL before every flash to new rom or radio.
