Hiper-dummmmmmy :(

I was reading your blog (very good and clear, by the way) and I feel very interested into flash my HTC Touch HD to Windows Mobile 6.5. But before start, I have some questions that maybe you guys can answer me:

1) What happens with the ROM that was originally placed in the phone?

2) If the original ROM remains in the phone after install a new one, is it possible to flash ROM to the original settings?

3) If I already install the new ROM in the phone, is it possible to install 3rd party applications (GPS, calculators, etc.) in the phone as I do regularly in the Windows Mobile 6.1 version?

I have a very old SW in my unlocked phone:

ROM Version: 1.14.421.5 (25590) WWE

ROM Date: 12/10/08

Radio Version: 1.09.25.14

Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26U

Thanks in advanced for all the info.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] moforlyf:
thanks for the reply. is it possible to remove bootloader form .nbh file? or if i only flash os then will it also act like mtty and delete all on device.?

the rom is replaced.

yes you just need to flash stock rom whenever you want

yes you can
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dhrubo1981:
thanx

awesome man! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
1) When you flash a new rom it completely replaces existing rom, i.e. its like putting a new OS on a computer (replacing XP with Win7).

2) Original rom is replaced and phone is set to default settings, i.e. not settings you had set. To do this you would need to use SASHIMI

3) Yes you can install 3rd party apps

Can't flash using HSPL

Hi.

Normally I don't have any problems flashing but I do and I can't figure out why :-(

HSPL 1.56.OliNex is installed and showing when I try to flash but it can't find my image. I have placed blacimg.nbh (newist Energy Rom - Touch HD) in sd root, but it can't find the image.

I turn off the phone and then I hold Vol Down and press Power. I come into the firmware (1.56 OliNex) but it can't find the file and is just waiting for Serial. What is it that I do wrong or have forgotten? I have have upgraded firmware many times but there most be something that I have forgotten. What is it?

Help me Obi One Kenobi, you are my only help...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
There are sometimes problems with picking up the sd card. Has it been formatted FAT32? If so, try another card, preferably a smaller card ie 2 gb or else flash via pc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RuffioDK:
I reformatted the sd card and tried again but without any luck so I borrowed a class 2 card instead and used that without any problems :-) My own is a class 6 but I have had any problems using this for flashing. Thx for the quick response :)

Wondering if someone can help me out here?

I was on this forum a LONG time ago when I first got my HTC Touch HD (Telstra Branded) and tried over and over again to flash the rom but never managed to do it.

I'm BACK, and I'm ready to give it another go. BUT I feel that I really need someones personal help. I've tried the guide a million times, but never worked. Would someone be able to take me through it, step by step? It'd be VERY much appreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Where in the guide have you got to? What is your current SPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rocklovelive:
Can't really remember where I got to last time.

After failing so many times, I no longer have the confidence to go it alone.

BLAC120 32M

SPL-1.15.000

Image version: 1.21.841.1

EDIT: Am able to run 'HSPL_Wrapper_Blackstone', but when it gets the updating part it sits on 0% for about 30 seconds then pops up with an Error window.

ERROR [202]: CONNECTION

Help please?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rocklovelive:
Could someone help please? I don't know how I can be getting a connection error when my phone is clearly connected.

EDIT: Just tried doing it on my laptop, and got Connection Error 260.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry for not responding sooner, been rather busy

Error 260 usually 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. Try and use Soft-SPL before attempting the RUU again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rocklovelive:
That's okay, really appreciate you getting back to me.

I'll try that now and let you know how it goes.

Got a good thread with some instructions?

EDIT: Found it :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rocklovelive:
Still getting the 260 connection error.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rocklovelive:
Okay I seem to be getting somewhere. I updated the HTC Sync Drivers and it seems to be working.

Just waiting for grzegorz10 rom to download and then I'll try load it on and see how I go. Quite slow though surprisingly?

Hi guys.

Sorry about this being my first post, but I'm in a bit of a pickle :confused:.

I've allready installed WM 6.5 on my phone (Touch HD) but it has a few glitches.

So I wanted to try to install a different ROM.

However now when I try to update my USB driver it gives an error with Code 10. It says that the installation of the driver couldn't finish beacause my device didn't start.

Now I did everything right 3 times allready. I've used the dummies guide like the good noob I am.

Still it won't work.

can anyone help me out ?

Gr TD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, you say you flashed a wm6.5 rom and had glitches. Where these colour issues and phone wouldn't work properly?

It sounds like your SPL does match your rom.

Go into bootloader and check your SPL. What does it say?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NeoDoRant:
Hi Guys!

Thanks for this nice tutorial!

I followed all the steps for USPL Flashing on my device (I already have SPL 1.54). I made all the steps and the Device booted sucessfully to USPL 1.15. But now as i want to install the ROM, the progress bar don't goes further than 0%...

What should i do?

[edit]SOLVED: HAHAHAHA, i just tried it the 3rd time now, and it seems to work :D[/edit]

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I had installed the Windows 7 and never had problems with drivers and flash several roms on my HD. Last week I decided to format my PC (Windows 7) and now I can not update the usb drivers because they "are the best drivers installed." Besides the drivers in the "run" does not appear Windows Mobile-based device connectivity or Windows Mobile 2003-based device connectivity. Help?

262 error

hello everyone. after 4h of trying to flash htc hd i got pretty much pissed and you are mine last option so please hep if u can. anyway i got win 7 x64. put usb drivers and with f8 disabled certificate monitoring. when i flash all goes well. HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex says i got

blac 100 32M s

pl 1.54.000

blackstone (led)= v6

starts updating.. and then after 30 sec on 0% says

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.

do i need better drivers or wtf!!! when i installed them i got error but rom says usb when connected and serial when not. i dont have idea anymore .thanks in advance

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Haven't came across this before to be honest.

If it was me I'd try one or two things:

Firstly if you are going to flash a new rom anyway, try a hard reset. Secondly, try flashing back to stock then flash your desired rom using USPL

Thirdly, switch to HSPL and try flashing rom

Let us know how you get on

I want the Energy Rom on my device but i need some help on my first steps :o

What should i install first? I see a lot of acronyms like USPL, HSPL, etc, and its quite confusing to me all the techy stuff/language.

Any help is appreciated.

I try the manual method, and my phone just says that this software is not intended for your device, if I ignore this, my phone just black screens. Easily recovered by removing the battery. I would really like to flash my phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Guys I've performed the HSPL update..

on the bootloader I had 1.54.000 I've done the HSPL update through the step HSLPL5

everything went smooth.. I did the full hard reset, wiped everything..

how do I know exactly if my SPL has been replaced with the new one ? coz on the bootloader I still have 1..54.000

The first tiem I tried to flash de ROM with my SD card, still stuck on the screen loading... like before..

I'm going to try with the windows device centre..

But I'm still a bit confused, on how do I know if this was really replaced..

***EDIT***

I have the same problem, I can't flash my htc hd, from windows it reboots and gets stuck on 0%... from the SD card it gets stuck on loading...

Does this mean that the HSPL update was not successful ?

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] XTIZ3:
Maybe that is part of my problem? I didn't do a hard reset before running the HSPL..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonnny:
I haven't done a hard reset before trying to instal HSPL

I have updated the drivers fine, and performed all this steps:

# (USPL5a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

# (USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.

# (USPL5c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.

# (USPL5d) If the rom you downloaded from step (USPL1d) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (USPL1e). Make sure the .nbh file from step (USPL1d) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.

# (USPL5e) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.

# (USPL5f) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...

But still Can't flash ROM with energyROMs
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonnny:
XTIZ3

I've manage to do it now, is actually easy, the thing I didn't understand is that, when you Flash de SPL with HSPL on the Bootloader when you see the information they say you should see..

Then this is when you need to install the EnergyROM... and now works :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] XTIZ3:
I'm sorry.. You should see what? I would really like to get this done. I would appreciate if you told me the steps you took.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonnny:
This was what I have done:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3930436&postcount=2

I had to do the troubleshooting section, and didn't work straight away, I had to rebooted the Phone about 3 times, I think it worked when I rebooted to bootloader, without the usb connected, waited a few seconds and connected again, and then worked..

when this worked, installed the ROM I wanted, but I realise now that the HSPL was flashed permanently... so I have installed two other ROMS..

I go into bootlaoder - serial changes to USB then I run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe

then it asks me to check that I'm connected to USB (I can not see mobile on the pc though) and to establish active sync. But this says "no mobile device connected".

What do I do, is there something wrong or just click next anyway.

Well I'm not sure this blog is being supported anymore. I did my best and something did not go right I followed the steps but the completion bar jumped for 0 to 100% instantly and the command prompt window just said please wait....

When I put it into bootloader it does say 1.54.0000 but anyway it loads up with wm6.1 and the htc sense and everything is gone. Maybe this dummy can't do it but a video on youtube could have helped.

My phone was freezing up so much it was unusable so I decided to give this a go.

Tried several different options, I think help is needed :D

Let me introduce myself,

My name is Hugo and about 4 hours ago I decided it was time to flash the sh*t out of my HTC [windows 6.1 was getting on my nerves...]

Now, I've tried everything I can think of but every time I get an 262 error, which would indicate that the connection is not what it should be.

My question: 'When Mobile Device Center states 'not connected' while my HTC is in bootmode [1.14 btw] does this mean the update won't work?'

If yes, how can I make MDC recognize the HTC in bootmode?

Thanks in advance,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HFM_:
Found the answer, but

I found the answer to my last question, but stil wasn't able to flash the ROM using HSPL so I switched to USPL. Which was a lot easier, but I don't understand the process behind it.

I wound op with the same 1.14 SPL with the updated ROM on my phone. Al is looking well [maybe some lag and some screen display errors when booting] but it's working.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but, to my knowledge, this shouldn't be possible?

Reflash original rom back to HD with a broken screen

The touchscreen of my HD doesn't work anymore, because of the Newton Rings problem.

I want to try to send the phone for repair, but I've flashed a cooked rom,

so I have to reflash the original rom..

Is that possible without using the touchscreen?

Is it right that the first time you have to use the touchscreen is for calibration of the screen?

Edit: I used USPL to flash the cooked rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kaherdin:
Do it all over again

The major problem that you have right now I think comes from your "4 hours ago" comment.

- You need to read the first post in this thread at least five times over a period of two days before first starting to consider to flash your device.

If you do that, and follow EVERY step I believe that you will find the answer to your problem. This is what I did. Think about it... You might be smarter than me and don't need all that "crap" that I list in my post... :D

1. Can't tell exactly what rom you are using (go to start > settings > system > info/software and this should give you more info on which rom you have), looks possibly like a stock one, but as you have HSPL 1.56 already on device you can flash other cooked roms and have fun

2. According to above you already have HSPL 1.56 as your bootloader states SPL-1.56.0liNex so you can flash a cooked rom now

Updated to hspl using uspl hack. Bootloader reported 1.56 olinex. Then loaded rom and phone didn't boot anymore. So restored htc rom 1.56 still no boot. Restored stock spl 1.54 and then installed htc 1.56. Still no boot. Tried formatting using mtty set 14 0 and task 29 and then installing stock and htc rom still no boot. Now running out of options. Only good news is bootloader still works. Please help. RUU software also doesn't regonize current image:confused:

:mad:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wing Nut:
Firstly, reflashing a new ROM shouldn't affect the Radio ROM already installed. Your current Radio ROM should remain active through all cooked ROM flashes. I guess a chef could cook a Radio ROM update into a ROM, but I've not encountered that with any of the popular ROMs on these forums.

Secondly, I believe Radio ROMs are essentially the same in a global sense - all regions are included in each updated radio ROM. However, there may be a few rare exceptions and also some people report that they get a better response in some radio feature (phone, GPS, WiFi or maybe BT) from a previous radio ROM, so they use an older version. Most posters here seem to report using Radio Rom 1.17.... though. I doubt Singapore is an exception where neither 1.17 or 1.14 don't work at all.
