Haha, I kind of did step 7 a bit sooner and finished it around 5B, perhaps repeating step 7 will improve my HD it's performance. :D

The stock rom is working! I had a error connecting first with the USPL but after rebooting my pc and doing it again it worked a charm. Now I'm just trying to download the 2.8 Dutty rom to flash it through USPL. :cool:

I'll post back if it worked!

Thaaaanks Crack! You saved my HD from sure, inevitable damnation. :D

Help! I was flashing new rom and my computer crash during flashing... 68% and crash!!! Now phone is in tricolor mode Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again and it´s Serial mode it wont go USB mode when I connect it. Can anyone help me or do I have one useless HD?? Specification: I do with "Dummies guide for flashing 1.56 roms" I was last step, flashing Dutty´s V.2.9 ROM when this happent.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
The fact that you have the phone in bootloader, even if its not working means your phone isn't bricked...yet!!

Do a hard reset, i.e. take battery out for about 5 seconds. Put it back in and then hold down vol up & vol down and press power button. You will be shown a grey screen. Press vol up to hard reset.

Then return to bootloader screen again and hopefully usb should reappear to try reflashing
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rauuno:
It won´t reset it. When it should be start restore it goes straight in tricolor, same error.

Maybe flashing whit SD-card? Is there some instruction how to flashing in SD-card.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] barakoas:
-Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.

-Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.

-Turn off your device by using the Power Button.

-Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.

-Be sure that Device is connected to PC first before inputting the Storage card

-Input Storage card when you see USB displaying on screen.

-Now run USPL.

-If all instruction is followed device will start upgrading through Storage Card.

-Always ensure that you run USPL before flashing any rom when using USPL method.

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again.

been trying forever no joy pls help someone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What is the exact error message you are receiving? Are you running USPL before you attempt to load a custom rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
thanks for responding gave it one more shot and tried orange 1.14 stock rom as I'm on orange and it eventually worked. Now on the bootloader screen i get

BLAC100 32m

SPL-1.14.0000

I want to flash 1.56 rom what should I excatly do as I did try to follow instructions but that is where it went wrong should I run blac uspl 2.5 again?

again thanks for your help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you have 1.14.000, you will need to load USPL first and then flash 1.56 rom

@antrak

Got same problem as you yesterday trying to flash Laurentius 2.2

I was on official HTC ROM 1.56

I solved it by putting back the official 1.56.

Then I hardSPL, put back official 1.14, USPL 2.5 and succeded flashing Laurentius.

But I agree with you. Flashed a lot, and it's the first time I scared that much.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
now i've managed to get back 1.14 o1olinex bloody great. i will have to start again just because i want dutty 3 rom thanks for ur help. which steps should i take now

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
and I did pause protection
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
When you run BLAC_USPL.exe does a window pop up and disappear? If it does you need to run it from a command prompt (Start, Run, cmd.exe). This way you can see the application text and it won't just disappear.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
yes a window does pop up and dissapear. this will sound like a silly question but how do i run from command prompt, pls help as i've tried so many times
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
The easiest way is such:

1. Place your phone in its bootloader and plug it in to your computer via USB.

2. Copy blac_uspl.exe to the root of your C:\ drive through Windows Explorer / My Computer.

3. In the command prompt (Start, Run, cmd.exe) type CD\ and press enter as indicated in the screenshot.

4. Your phone should reboot after about ten seconds and show SPL 1.15.USPL.

If it doesn't and you see some error text in the command prompt, take a screenshot or type up the error text and reply.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
Great getting somewhere now the message i get is the following

USB port could not be opened

Verify the device is connected and spl boot mode is active

disallow USB connections in active sync connections and try again

what do i do now?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:

thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Awesome good to hear you got it sorted... and yes because you have the stock SPL on your phone you will have to run USPL every time you want to flash a custom rom or one that is for a different CID.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
thanks cw for ur help was on the verge of giving up . would have taken much longer to figure out had you not shared ur knowledge and expertise with me, thanks again

btw what is cid?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Taken from the wiki:

CID: Carrier Id - commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Qtek (Qtek is the 'carrier'), your phone will only accept Qtek ROMs (the carrier's ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you'll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] riz157:
great now I'm begining to understand the basics, perhaps with help from experts like you I will be able to create a rom of my own in the future.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
This is the dream mate. That everyone knows the basics and has read & understood the wiki!!

Hello

My device is bricked on bootloader, and I've tried all the ROM that can be me shipped ROM and not worked.

Then I read in a post in this forum that could be a damaged CID sector. And it could be restored....if I have a backup, I don't have it.

Also the post says that it can be re-calculated from IMEI, but my ebay vendor removed the IMEI stick, then I haven't.

I have the posibility of Use an CID obtained from another device, but if it depends of IMEI, can be a problem with mine??

Know anybody a solution for this?? thank you!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] msmith1991:
can someone please tell me were to get the htc software keyboards from!!

i put 6.5 on my phone but there are no software keyboards but the windows 1..i need them please please help!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] player911:
the default HTC keyboard is called "EzInput". Searching for that will yield you better results.

Also check out the new "FingerKeyboard" I find it works alot better then the default one. It is one I use currently.

Another keyboard I found worked very well was Spb Keyboard. It allows finger gestures for backspace and space. Helps alot.

Also PocketCM Keyboard is REALLY sweet if you can get it set up properly. This keyboard allows for "sloppy" typing. Using this keyboard, you don't have to press the keys exactly. It references your taps against a dictionary and is pretty accurate.

I like the look and feel of FingerKeyboard but find the way PocketCM Keyboard works simply amazing. Both keyboards allow skinning. A mix of the two would be amazing.
[Touch HD Accessories] Havok316uk:
can anyone confirm if you can buy or make a 3.5mm stubby aerial for the hd? as i dont want to have to use the headphones to get radio reception. my reason for this is i want to recieve TMC signals but not using my headphones built in antenna. cheers
[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
I'd like to know this as well, but usually when this question gets asked for different phones you mainly get people asking why you want to, and repeating what you already know about the heaphones normally being the antenna.

Good luck finding out - I hope you find a useful solution. :)
[Touch HD Accessories] sebstein:
Yes, I just put a 3.5 - 6.3 adapter without any other cables and it worked just fine.

The quality of the reception was better, maybe because there is no torsions because of the cable... ?

(Sorry for my bad english, I'm belgian...)
[Touch HD Accessories] farkah:
i had a quick play with a old chopped headphone cable, seemed to work just fine. Made the cable about 6 inches - but after reading about the 3.4mm-6.5mm adaptor this may be overkill.
[Touch HD Accessories] Riceburner:
Just for reference - putting the stylus into the hole doesn't work either.

;)
[Touch HD Accessories] farkah:
well, it was worth a go
[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
Not sure what exactly a 6.5mm cable is (sorry if I'm being thick!).

So with an old headphone 3.5mm plug with 6inches of cable you can use the radio ok then?

Can you get it out of the speaker like this? I guess the answer is yes because if you have a 6" long chopped up headphone cable in place you can't use headphones!
[Touch HD Accessories] antonyand:
3.5mm jack

I think think the guy is on about one fo these

i think i have one around the house so will test it when i find it.

Peace
[Touch HD Accessories] Riceburner:
Actually - it DID "sort of" work - the radio software registered that an aerial was connected and allowed the radio to search the airwaves.... it just didn't find anything!

Not a usable solution though - I had to exert some (light) pressure on the upper end of the stylus so that the end that was inside the 3.5mm socket was pushed against the actual terminal.
[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
Ahh I see.

Hmmm, I have one the opposite way around but not that :rolleyes:

Still, I have some knackered headphones I could strip down for the plug and then experiment from there.

Are there not any registry changes needed to go with this at all?

[Touch HD Accessories] ez2remember:
Any feedback. ;)

How is reception?
[Touch HD Accessories] pjam:
does this really work? I would have expected that as soon as the dummy headphones were used all sound from the phone's speaker would stop. this would make sat nav a little useless.
[Touch HD Accessories] ednap:
I know it works with the radio application as there is an option to turn sound to headphones off and play sound through the units speaker instead.
[Touch HD Accessories] leper04:
The reception is excellent, RDS works well. Obviously, You'll have to listen to the radio through the built-in speaker, since the 3,5" jack is used by the antenna :)
[Touch HD Accessories] christiand:
Can you confirm in works with navigon? Would love to get TMC traffic working on my touch HD while still hearing the spoken directions.
[Touch HD Accessories] leper04:
There's no TMC receiver in the touch HD, only the good old-fashioned GPS. For TMC You'll need a separate TMC receiver - a friend of mine uses the GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y, it works well with navigon.

Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to create a custom 'antenna stylus'

So that i has still a plastic tip for stylus, but has some ridges so that is nicely fits a 3.5mm connection, and has the metal part as antenna.

Ideally even with a small telescopic part, so it can extent to maybe 10cm.

Any chineese manufacturers reading this forum for ideas:D
[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
That's a fantastic idea - I'd definitely buy one but I doubt it'll happen.

Cheers for the link though ajs007 - well spotted, I'm going to buy one of those. :D
[Touch HD Accessories] starbuck123:
It does work. You just need to add some scotch tape to the tip so it'll push the stylus towards the metal contacts inside the 3.5mm audio jack. Make sure you don't cover the whole stylus tip with the tape. You need to leave a part of the stylus tape free so the phone will think a headphone is plugged in once it touches the metal contacts. It working pretty good for me (once you figure out how to tape it). I can slide the stylus back inside the holder once I'm done using it also!

[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
Hmmm, what would be an ideal length for the FM band antenna?

I guess you get the wavelength for half way up the band (98mhz) then make sure the wire is a half/quarter/eighth/sixteenth etc for the best signal?

Or does it not really make much difference?

[Touch HD Accessories] Cret:
I've received my TMC antenna now and yes it works properly.

The reception is pretty rubbish though I must admit. I think I must be in a weakish signal area, but then all my other stuff receives FM ok here.

Maybe it's just the HD has poor reception as it wasn't great even with the full headphone cable - other phones I've had were much better FM reception.

Shame as I like the radio function.

even with the a2dp enabled and working the music goes out from the wired speaker

Hi yes you can get TMC on Igo8 and Navigon. There is a thread called TMC without reciever and it has a small program you run which snatches TMC singals from your radio and passes them to a navigator
[Touch HD Accessories] poetryrocksalot:
Can someone please answer my question?

I ask this because only TMC Antennas are being sold. TMC Antennas are created specifically for reception of Traffic Information through FM/AM. All of the TMC Antennas are described to ONLY support the frequencies 80 to 103 MHz. However I listened to these frequencies: 102.7 MHz, 105.9 MHz, and 106.7 MHz. These frequencies are all frequencies for the music radio stations that I listen to. I want to listen to music, not traffic reports.

Please take your time in answering these specific questions.

1) Does it really matter what kind of aerial you buy?

2) How will the 80 to 103 MHz limit on the TMC Antenna affect my Radio Reception for the frequencies not supported by the it?

3) Is the antenna frequencies not important? Is it true that the radio hardware within my phone is more important for reception than the "frequencies supported by the antenna"? What I mean is: if my phone supports 105.9 and 106.7, will I still be able to listen to these stations even thought my antenna can only go as far as 103?

4) Did I waste 30 dollars buying this?: http://cgi.ebay.de/TMC-Stab-Antenne...14&_trkparms=72:1229|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

5) I would appreciate it if you answer all 5 questions... and label which one responds to which. Can you answer my questions?
