We are not here to tell you which is best for you, we are here to aid and assist you if you get stuck. Opinionated questions are generally frowned upon in XDA as everyone will have a different opinion. As ClydeB1 stated, both have pro's and con's. Its up to you which you use by reading and following this guide.

Please if someone know the solution of my problem help me. I'm trying to flash my HD again (the first time it went all ok). I set up my phone in bootloader mode and try to Run USPL from te zip file i download for flashing. After a click run i got a screen like first picture (named 2) and then I try to update my usb driver by the steps given i it's all good except the final step (installing), it can't install properly. it gives me this screen like second picture (named 1) please help if someone knows how.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Firstly, the Code 10 Error is normal:

Did steps 15 and 16 from above work? ie unplug and bootloader changes to serial and then when you plug it back in it changes to usb?

If so, you should be able to run the uspl gui again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vilim:
thanks man, it did the thing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Pleasure, glad it worked out
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Forsberg1:
Okay, now I need help, I can't make any sense of this.

I'm trying to update my SPL using the HSPLWrapper, but it doesn't work. If i put the phone into bootloader before running the .exe, the program doesn't detect the SPL version and then the progressbar shows on the phone, but is stuck at 0% and eventually I get Error 262.

If I try running it without bootloader, it detects the version nicely, but i won't get a progressbar on the phone and I get Error 246.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Below is a description of the errors you have. The error 262 is fairly common. Try to use the sspl method to see if that sorts the problem - if mostly does.

[B][COLOR="Red"]Troubleshooting - manual SSPL[/COLOR][/B]
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.

hi people who read this

not sure where to post so ill aks it here

think its better then to make a topic

a friend off mine got his hands on a diamond so i whas checking out the diamond section a little and saw a thing called mtty

from what i undertoud it deletes the flashmemory

now im having strange isseus whit my own cooked rom so i whas wondering

could mtty help or will mtty brick my blackstone?

i know about the option of flashing back to the stockrom but i think mtty would be a better and quicker option as i flash my blackstne like 30 times a day the last days checking if i managed to fix my strange behaviour

would do you think about mtty on blackstone would it work?

best regards

chris
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
mtty will communicate to any HTC device. I would be careful using it if you are unsure what it is capable of. You can send numerous commands to each device (depending on the bootloader) and if you send the wrong commands you can end up formatting the bootloader itself... which is bad.

You should read this thread.

You new here? Read this, I'm also a noob!

I wanna tell new readers about my short road from complete rookie (didn't know a thing about bootloaders, roms or USPL). :confused:

I started out with reading about all this stuff on the following pages;

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377&highlight=video

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462347

hardreset.eu/htc_touch_hd_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

It took me a total of three days (I have a six weeks old daughter) and I probably read all these guides five times per day. You need to understand the entire upcoming process before you start jerking around with these things. Otherwise you end up crying and with no phone to call you mother with.

Started of with a Touchflow 3D 1.3.37395.0_1630.38 on WM 6.1 pro, CE-OS 5.2.20769 (Build 20769.1.4.5) and ROM version 1.56.413.0 (SWE).

Updated my Windows Vista Usb. Followed the guidelines (see links above).

Used USPL to work “around bootloader”. Work just like in the guide. As the guide warns you of, the “USB” text in bootloader menu disappeared and I had to unplug the usb cable and reconnect it directly afterwards.

Ran “RUU Dutty's HD WM6.1 V4.3 5.2.21054.1.6.7 1.59.709.0 Radio 52.62.25.34 1.14.25.24 Final” using the supplied “Blackstone RUU wrapper”.

Hard reset (with the phone TURNED OFF, hold both volume keys and once press the on/off power button and when prompted pressed for reset) twice.

- Why are you telling me this??

Maybe I’m not telling YOU, BUT there are people out there who are deeply interested in these things and I wanna tell THAT person that it is NOT ONLY FOR “HACKERS” and computer geniuses.

You can make a new, better, rom work with your HTC Touch HD (Blackstone). Just be careful, read all the wikis (at least five times over!) and back-up everything you have on the device.

Thanks to all you guys at XDA-DEV for all the great wikis, programs and quick answers to every dumb forum user (just like me). All your correct answers made my journey problem free!

@Kaherdin, welcome to xda and to your "new" phone.

All very sound advice, if only more users would take the time to read and then reread these brilliant guides there would be less problems.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Creutz:
Ok I just bought a pre-owned HD and it is on a stock rom and stock spl and so on. I've flashed the diamond before so I'm not a total noob. However, I was wondering in which order I should flash. Obviously I will flash hspl first, then is the question what I should flash after that, radio and rom last or vice versa (rom first and then radio), does it matter? I'm going to flash the blackdragon rom and I've read that the 1.12 radio works good with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It shouldn't really matter if its rom and then radio or radio and then rom. The only time it would matter is if the rom you are flashing to includes a radio, as this would obviously overwrite the radio you had just installed. However nowadays very few of the cooked roms include a radio. To be safe though, install rom and then radio (and don't forget the rilphone also)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Creutz:
Wow, fast answer there, thank you! Then I think I know everything I need (in this case anyway), btw really nice guide you guys.

I also have a Leo and no problem (i use flash from SD with my Leo but already did with RUU exe...)

I forgot to tell you i installed a new radio yesterday and since then i have 256 colours screen. (sorry for this miss and my poor english ). The version of the rom is 1.14 i think but don"t have the phone near me...

Which rom are you currently on? Because if you are on spl 1.56.Olinex and have a rom based on an earlier base than 1.56 you will have the blue green 256k screen resolution. As long as the phone shows 1.56.olinex in the tri-colour screen you can always use the sd card to flash the rom.

Copy the rom file (not ruu.exe) to your sd card (save in the root) and ensure it is called BLACIMG.nbh. Then turn device off, hold volume down button and switch on. When it picks up the rom file push the power button to flash.

==> I tried this (BLACIMG.nbh), it worked with radio ROM but doesn't work with Miri ROM :confused: , i will try again mate.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Hi le_s, Do you still have the radio rom file on your card? You must only have one .nbh file on the card at a time, otherwise I think the process gets confused as to which one to use.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] FYfans:
Good, lovely
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] le__s:
Yeah, i have deleted the BLACIMG.nbh radio ROM and replaced with a BLACIMG.nbh system ROM but it didn't worked.

Radio version is 1.14.25.24

Tried again to flash with a BLACIMG.nbh Miri ROM and now it works :confused:

Confused to have disturbed you

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jony013:
thanks mate

Thanks a lot, I am new here but your thread make me feel like a pro. any way can you help me about radio? do you know which is the best radio for Bangladesh?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
To be honest best way to find out which is best for Bangladesh would be to try each yourself. Only is 4 or 5 radio's so shouldn't take long. Alternatively you could ask this in the radio thread but I'd imagine you'd get the same response. Personally I'd start with latest and work my way back. You should also try to match the rilphone to the radio version .i.e. if you are using radio version 1.13, then use rilphone 1.13 (use ril 1.14 with radio 1.17 as no ril 1.17 available)

If radio works fine no real need to change it. I would only consider changing the radio if I was experiencing problems like dropped calls for example but then again I do like to try everything ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tindo1:
Mmmm. Fallen Spartan I'm a noob but I seem to have managed to follow the instructions to a tee and managed to flash and load on Miri's WM 2.5 successfully. Being a rather inquisitive medic- and an idiot - I have stumbled upon stuff to do with radio. On loading bootloader again my device still says radio version 1.13 although the SPL is now Olinex. Do I necessarily have to change it or do anything??? Sorry for being an idiot
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Flashing a rom will only change your radio if a radio is included in the rom file. Many chefs do not include this. I think only one or two did include this. If you want to change your radio you will have to flash it in the same manner you flashed the rom, i.e. by using either USPL or HSPL. Radio's can be found here.

From reading your post you already have HSPL on your device so all you need to do is flash the radio file, i.e. BLACIMG.nbh
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
ok, on my boot screen " BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.0000

PLIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Finally you found the right place ;).

What error message do you get when you run the HSPL Wrapper? It will probably be either Error 260 or Error 262.

The best solution to these is to use SSPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
"ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

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. "

That error, but i did that and stil nothing, shows just 0% and nothing
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Well as my post above says you will then need to try the SSPL method. Don't worry, the Error 262 is very common and easy to fix.

This is all explained in post #2 of this thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
it is not showing usb in the botom of the screen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Remove the usb cable, when it shows serial at the bottom, re-insert the usb cable and it should change to usb.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
no serial is shown, does it take it long to show serial?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It shouldn't take more than 20 to 30 seconds to show in the white section of the bootloader screen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
ok now is 100% wiiiiiiii, what now?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What is 100%? Did you successfully run HSPL? To check, go back to bootloader and check that spl now shows as 1.56.Olinex.

Then decide which rom you want to install - there are many just below this sticky thread, download it, put the phone in bootloader, connect to usb and run the Blackstone RUU file.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
afther i finishted that my hd entered in win 6.1 bat my screen (colours) are "funny" contrast
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It will because you have changed the spl. You can now flash to a 6.5 rom and the colours will be correct.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
yes : BLAC100 32M
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
Spl-1.56 olinex
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
Can you giv me a download link where can i download rom now and finish this plizzzzz
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Perfect, now find a wm6.5 rom and install it. ;)

You can try the link in my signature as a start. Now that you have hspl, you can try different roms until you find one that you like.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
Blackstone RUU file I DON HAVE THAT FILE
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Download the rom you want - usually a RAR file, unzip/extract the file and it will usually include 2 files, the Blackstone RUU and the rom file (BLACIMG.nbh). Keep both files in the same folder and run the RUU.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] axxo69:
On page that you said i cenot find download link, pliz send mi direct link where i can download rom, youre choice
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] napsterdj:
Hey ,

First of all, a fantastic guide for the whole process . I really enjoyed reading and doing the same on my phone. However, i experienced a couple of things even though i followed the steps exactly as mentioned in the guide.

1. The first time I tried running " USPL GUI v 2.5 " , my fone screen went blank and it did not turn up . I tried switching it on , opening the battery and waited for a while but nothing happened .

I tried pushing the reset button next to the sd card slot and it came back on to the bootloader menu again .

2. After USPL 3f step, the fone rebooted and went on ot the home screen with minimal colors. Guess this was not meant to happen as it was not mentioned in the guide but im still sharing this just in case anybody get to this situation.

I did however follow the guide completely and i managed to flash the ROM. Its still booting up with the *NEW ROM* as I type, and i'm very happy to have done this.

Thanks crackwhore ! A very nice guide.. appreciate it :) and the WIKI helped a lot !!!

error 262 update error

hi there,

I'm trying to flash my HTC Touch HD with HSPL in order to flash Mikenificent 7.0. I'm getting error 262 again and again. I've tried it on Windows XP with active sync 4.5 and on another PC with Windows 7 and Windows mobility centre but I'm getting the same error on both PC's. The flashing starts but does not get past 0% and afterwards the error shows up.

I'm currently running the stock ROM. Anyone got an idea of what I'm doing wrong???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Error 262 is a fairly common problem lately. You need to use the manual sspl method. See the details at the end of

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelweeda:
Been there, and done that. It did not work for me:mad:. It just reload the stock ROM.

I have another question that perharps explains it. There are two different explanations on the web how to flash HSPL onto the HD.

1. Some say that you have to put the HD into Bootmode first, than connect the USB cable, wait to you see USB on the bottom of te screen en then run the program to flash to HSPL.

2. Other say that you have to connect the HD on a normal way to activesync (without putting it into bootmode) en then run the HSPL program.

I've tried both options, same error. With option one during the startup of the program the programm does nog see the current ROM version, it only shows that it is going to upgrade to versions 2.00 xx With option 2 it does see the current ROM version. Both options are giving error 262. Frustrating!!!

Hope you can help me! Is it perhaps an idea to use USPL??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I told you what you need to do in my earlier post and if you choose to ignore my advice then why continue asking for help if you aren't going to use it? You need to run manual SSPL.

If you did try sspl and it didn't work please provide the details here, because this is what is needed to resolve the error 262 problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelweeda:
Sorry for that, but I did try SSPL. It then correctly places the HD in Bootmode with Olinex showing on the screen, but it still does not get past 0% during the flashing proces.

I've tried several USB ports, another USB cable, I've turned off virusprotection, different PC's (XP and Windows 7), I've gave my HD an hard reset and tried again but noting helped.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What Olinex version is showing in bootloader now? After running sspl, it should boot to 1.07.Olinex. Did you then run hsplwrapper again and has the spl updated to 1.56.Olinex?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelweeda:
If I go to bootmode out of de stockROM it shows SPL-1.54.0000.

When I use SSPL it does go to bootmode with 1.07.OliNex XA showing on the screen. Then I run hsplwrapper, but it stops at 0% getting the 262 error.

During the process you get some informatie about the current Image version of the HD. It does nog show my current Image, do I have to upgrade my USB drivers?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can try updating the usb drivers. With error 262 it does say that you can also just retry by rebooting into bootloader and running hsplwrapper again. Try this a few times more and if still no luck you may want to try the uspl route.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelweeda:
I've tried this route for about 10 times now, it doesn't work. I will update the USB drivers and USPL this evening en post back to you if it will work. Thanks sofar:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Very strange :confused:. This is the first time that sspl has not worked that I know of. Ok, I hope you manage to sort it out later. Good luck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I see ClydeB1 has been helping you, but I just thought I'd ask......have you put both BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and BLACIMG.nbh (rom file) into their own folder, i.e. just these 2 files. If you have more than one rom file in this folder it can confuse flashing rpocess so it will not commence
