[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tazman007:
I'd like to post my thanks to Mr CW for this guide and to Mr FS's backup comments - good partnership :) ), I'm now running Dutty's 2.9. Only problem I had was similar to another members a fair few pages back, where the command prompt wouldn't run USPL, turns out that I did have to update the USB drivers, even though I have Vista 32.

Thanks again chaps!!

Oh bugger - now see there is a version 3.....need to stop flashing, need to stop flashing, need to......nope, can't help myself!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
What operating system do you have on your pc? vista? sounds like you may need to update drivers on it. Have you disabled anitvirus before running USPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] this_mike:
"Error 10" from Vista's driver update window?

Do you mean that when you update the driver following the (0)d guide faithfully, the update progress dialog in Vista stops showing the progress bar and displays in large blue text:

"Windows encountered a problem installing the software for your device"

then

"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"

<picture of mobile device with label 'HTC USB Sync'>

then

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"?

If so, me too. I'm going to repeat the process but log off Vista and load with the driver signing check disabled.

EDIT: Painful resolution to this problem went like this (don't follow all the steps!):

1) Reboot PC, F8 ing to give me the boot options where I disabled the driver signing check.

2) Hard-reset phone.

3) Into boot loader and connect USB.

4) Open a cmd window, cd to uspl location and run blac_uspl.exe.

5) USPL errors with a 1 line message followed by saying "no response from device".

6) Try again, get a 3 line error but still no response from device.

7) Disconnect USB, exit bootloader on phone, restart phone and connect USB.

8) WMDC opens with the allow USB connections checkbox enabled.

9) Clear allow USB checkbox, disconnect USB and re-enter bootloader on phone.

10) Connect USB, re-run blac_uspl.exe from cmd window, wait for "USB" to reappear on phone's screen - SUCCESS: "SPL-1.15.USPL".

11) Run Dutty's V3 RUUWrapper - error 264 - connection

12) Disconnect USB wait for "serial", reconnect USB, wait for "USB".

13) Try running Dutty's again - still getting a 264.

14) Restart phone, make a WMCD USB connection

15) Retry Dutty's rom, get an error 262.

16( Enough is enough for now, if I can't reliably run USPL and I need to for each rom flash, I'm going to have to downgrade until this gets sorted reliably. Bummer.

Hello, this post is excellent. Thank you.

I have a different problem, the HD was working with WM6.5, and I had a Memory with a clone. (I have 2 HD, the one that is working is in WM6.1, and the one with the problem with WM6.5).

When runing the clone (WM6.1) on the HD with WM6.5, gave an error, and at this point I can not hard reset, it does not boot, and I can not link to the PC.

My PC runs on Windows 7 .

Any hint please?? Tks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
When you say clone due you mean a backup rom?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abiabi:
Actually, when I say clone:

SPB Clone, is a SPB application that allows you to clone a phone. Normally used to duplicate phones (for example at entreprises).

Google spb clone

It worked fine in the past, but this time it sh..t o the cake :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ah, right. I've no experience with that app so I suggest you either ask your query in General forum or in Clone App thread. Either way, its not a flashing issue afaik so shouldn't be asked in this thread

Well, the close was the motive, the issue is that I have to flash the phone, and without connecting it to the PC I do not know how to do it. Tks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ah, well their our 2 methods to flashing a rom, usb method and sd card method

Flashing Radio / ROM from microSD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abiabi:
Thank you for your answer.

I follow the steps with no result.

I am using a LG microSD

In fact I since I can not access the phone, I do not know if I have the HardSPL or the USPL in the phone.

At this point I must understand how to load the USPL.

I am reading this link. Tks

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Blackstone_Vista

Whith Win 7 on my PC, I followed the steps shown in the above link.

However on step 8, I do not get the HTC USB sync.

Given the above, I linked the good Phone HTC HD, and indeed I see it.

Conclusion: the PC while it does not recognize the phone (I do not see it) it does do the normal noice the Win 7 does when a new driver is connected.

I am lost "in the wind" :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you put your phone into bootloader you should know whether you have HSPL Or not. What is your SPL in bootloader?

Also, when in bootloader does the bottom of screen change from "serial" to "usb" when phone is connected to pc via usb cable?

No luck :(

I'm stuck at 0% when trying OliNex method, and my device can't be found when trying the USPL method.

Usually I could manage "original" Herald and Kaiser to flash in them custom ROMs with no problems, but I have no luck with BlackStone.

I followed all the steps with HTC USB Sync drivers (running Win7 x64).

Is it possible to be any protection in my device ? It's sold as retired from government service :-s

Even losing some advantages in my language, I'ld prefer to have it flashed using WM6.5 instead of 6.1, as I'm used to it with my Kaiser and Herald.

My data:

PC - Windows 7 x64

All apps to HSPL/USPL/Flash ROM into folders inside c:\blackstone

PPC:

BLAC 100 32m

SPL 1.54.0000

Ahhh.... I had similar problem, but I solved it via PC with WinXP pro...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afn691:
Ooh :( I'm afraid I'll have to borrow a computer running WinXP Pro (need SP2?) and I'm also afraid there's no way to HSPL from SD card :(

[ EDIT ! I FINALLY COULD FLASH ENERGY ROM INSIDE !! I had to reformat my old computer with WinXP... ]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abiabi:
No way with this HTC HD.

At this point the only thing it does is to begin booting, I see the HTC screen for a seg, and after that the screen is wite. Even if I connect it to the PC (WIN7) it is not recognized. May be I have to boot it from the external mem.

Could you please tell me 1) what should I put in the mem 2) and how to proceed?

I tried to understand about the SPL (hard and soft) but it was like chinees for me.

Tks

In alternative: Since I have 2 identical phones, is there some what I cam copy the good one on the bad one? (I tried to clone it with SPB Clone, but no result. I think that the ROM is gone on the bad phone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You cannot clone one HD on to another (well maybe to an extent if you successfully had HSPL on both) but anyway. You need to get USPL or HSPL on your device by following this guide. It cannot be dummed down any further as all you need to do is follow the steps. Have you tried the troubleshooting section and trying SSPL?

Turn off your device

Then hold down volume down button

While continuing to hold volume down down button press the power on button

Continue to hold vol down until screen goes into a tricolour screen

This is bootloader

What does it say after SPL?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abiabi:
Thank you for you time.

I turned off the HTC, and pressed start wile holding down vol down: the white screen with the htc symbol appears and it stays that way.

To put the HTC off, I had to take out the battery.

I did the test connected to the PC and with battery only = same thing happens.

I tried a different thing:

I turned off the HTC, and pressed start wile holding down vol down + vol up.

The result is the following message:

A brief message appearse for 1 or 2 seg.: "surching image"

after that the following message comes in:

"Step 3 error while updating:

Card operate: read retry timeout.

Restart the machine?"

On the bottom of the screen there is a Yes that is not part of the message.

Indeed, all these tryout have been done without a mem card.

My impression is that the HTC is searching something at boot, but I do not know what?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry, but could you also translate that into English (as per forum rules) so other users may know what advice you offered, especially if they have the same issues

Help! Can't flash!

Hi all, i need your help! I've been trying to flash my old blackstone for days, but i couldn't install any android rom because in recovery mode, i get an error saying "can't mount /sdcard". So i decided to restore the original rom, so i flashed the original SPL. After that, when i try to flash the rom, it stays on 0% (on pc, and on phone) for a while, than the error 262 occurs. After that i tried to re-flash the Olinex SPL, but that problem still remains. I also tried to use USPL instead of HSPL, but it says that it couldn't comunicate with the cellphone. HTC Sync drivers already updated (i tried to install the drivers in the first post, but it says that drivers are already updated). I can't flash anything now, nor ROMs, nor bootloaders, anything! I've been looking for a solution in this forum and over the net, but i couldn't find any solution. I really need your help. I don't want to throw away this phone :( Thanks in advance guys :)

At first time i flashed the OliNex SPL 1.56. Than I wanted to restore the phone with its original rom, so I flashed the original signed SPL. When go into the tricoloured mode, the version shown is:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.13.0000

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

When i plug the USB cable, serial turns to usb. I used the "HSPL-way". After the flashing of the original SPL, problems came out, I can't flash anything as I explained. Another problem that I forgot to write is that, after the last flashing, when i try to go to recovery mod using fastboot, the Video is "broken". I mean..when i'm in fastboot (blue background), in a first time i see some horizontal lines which "disturb" the video. Then, when i boot the recovery.img, it's all broken, i can't see what i do..What kind of problem is it? I thought that it may caused because of a too old SPL..What can i do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I see from your initial post you had an android rom. Tbh, I haven't used recovery on the HD. Regarding getting HSPL or USPL, have you tried SSPL in troubleshooting?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] samfisher003:
Initially I tried to flash an Android ROM, but with no success (when in recovery mode i choose "select a zip file from SD", it gave me an error saying that couldn't mount sdcard). Anyway, if I understood correctly, SSPL cand be used only from windows mobile, which I cannot anymore run..have I misunderstood? (Thanks for help :) )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chan.sk:
I got the same situation when flashing. I think my video controller frequency is gone off a bit, or there is some mismatch of the software with the video frequency. I used this trick:

Push the Power Button once to refresh the video. In the CWR mode for installing Android, this will also move the selection bar down once and also give you another chance to see or half-guess a selection. Pressing the Power Button repeatedly and you will be able to make out the fastboot menu items after a while.

This workaround has helped me install the NAND Android by fagyi so it has worked for me. Hope it helps you too.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afn691:
Do you mean you can't put your HD in bootloader mode ? If you can, you'll need a good SD card to boot from it and read files for SSPL'ing your device. Check the wiki for compatible cards.

I hope you'll be able to enter bootloader mode. Otherwise, I don't know what more to do :(

(edit:) Just a new thought: you tell you're having some problems with video; I was thinking about some problems related with drivers and Radio; did you flash a new radio, now or previously ? maybe your radio version is incompatible
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] samfisher003:
I can put my HD in bootloader mode. I read that to do the SSPL, i need to put the .exe in my phone and from the explorer of the phone launch the program..if i'm wrong can you explain me please? For the video, i didn't flash any radio manually...but if the OliNex SPL flashes SPL and radio, then it maybe caused the video problem..I tried also Hard Reset, but with no luck (it stays forever on loading screen). I also tried to copy the .NBH file in my sd card (i have three of them), but it stays on loading screen and does nothing. I think that before doing it i should do the "task 29", but it give me the 262 error..help me T__T

(little OT. To install android i downloaded all fagyi's stuff, but when i'm in CWR, it doesn't mount any of my sd cards..should i open another thread on the right section to ask someone about that?)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You have 3 .nbh files on your sdcard? This could be your issue. Only have one or it'll confuse the system when trying to flash.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afn691:
As Fallen Spartan says, you must have only one operative NBH file on your SD card. remember, the NBH file must have its name according to what it's going to flash. (yes, I'm having lots of NBH files in my card, with other names for not interfering)

As you told your SPL is 1.13, I think the best way is finding a NBH from a factory (but unprotected) ROM capable to run from SPL 1.13, and flashing it from SD card. There must be some link for this kind of almost-factory ROM in the Wiki (a year ago I could read something about it)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] samfisher003:
Sorry, i badly explained. when i said "i have three of them" i was talking about sd cards, not .nbh files xD so when i put the sd card on phone, there is only one .nbh file called BLACIMG.NBH. anyway, i downloaded the original rom that i can flash only with its ruu (it's .nbh too), but it gives me error 262.. This should be compatible with SPL 1.13, isn't it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chan.sk:
You are right. For fagyi's stuff, you could ask in the threads of the ROM you will be using. Please read the FAQs and posts before asking because someone could have already resolved what you might want to ask.
