Did you follow (3c) & (3d) correctly?:

(3c) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HardSPL 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.

(3d) Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock SPL back to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.

You should have SPL 1.14.0000 afterwards and not SPL-1.14 OliNex

Crackwhore or anyone!!

Crackwhore,

i tried what you told me.

Diff usb port - cant connect

Diff computer (8 computers i tested) - cant connect

new cable - cant connect

My hd is still not communicating with pcs.

is there a way i can flash my olinex 1.14 to stock spl using my micro sd??

or flashing the rom using micro sd??

suggestions please...

thanks peeps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
No. Unfortunately if you have HSPL the only way to flash back to stock SPL is via the RUU in Windows.

You can try flashing it via the SD card method. It doesn't work on all SD cards. Try reading the wiki about this.

thanks crackwhore

crackwhore if you dont mind, im just lost on which wiki i should read... can you post the direct link for flashing using micro sd wiki for me please ..????

Hi,

I didn't wait and tried the flashing of Duttyroy 3.3 version directly. Result is I got the distorted, green screen (...)

Thanks to your complete and clear instructions, I was able to fix it by flashing again with stock 1.56, and then again with Dutthyroy's.

Great work man!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you look on Youtube there are already videos of this. I don't have a good digicam and there are so many different variables to take into account when flashing that one video would not cover it. Plus, the time involved in making it is not worth it. This guide should be easy enough to follow. If you have questions about it just post them. I have helped countless people through this thread and I'm sure you can follow it as well ;)

my rom says its 1.14.0000 but when i try and do the 1.56 original rom it keeps getting a connection error wont let me load it. i dont know if im using the wrong spl wrapper or what? but i cant get it to work at all. which versoins do i need? all i want to do is load duttys 3.3
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You need to use USPL V2.5 first before trying to flash 1.56 rom. Follow steps (5) to (5e)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WinterKnights:
i did that also but when running uspl 2.5 it opens up a cmd box then goes away again and then nothing
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Run blac_uspl.exe from a command window or use my USPL GUI so that you can see the application output. It is throwing an error out but the window disappears before you can read the text.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fc_Kuro:
i've used the uspl gui and my screen says spl-1.15.uspl

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Are you connecting your phone directly to your computer or via a USB hub? If it is direct, try another USB port. What is your current SPL version, (without USPL running)?

Thanks for the info cRaCKwHoRe, I went ahead and tried other sim cards, 02, Tmobile, and 3G, but it all comes up with the same simlock message. Am I missing something?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
That's F-ing weird man... let me check with some other people. I really haven't seen that before. Maybe someone else can help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
There's no sim unlocking for the HD yet. This is only Hard SPL / CID unlocking.

Only the HTC devices are SIM unlocked. If it's an orange model it probably has SIM Lock still. Either wait for Olipro to come out with a SIM unlock tool, or use an unlock Code site.

i tried the gue and got some error to do with no response from device. then it said i need to update drivers, i followed the steps to update drivers and when i did it said my drivers were already up to date..

missed a step so i did it again and it looks like its doing what it was meant to. ill let you know how the flashing goes.

cheers

well ive got the original 1.56 rom on now. so im getting there!

went back to my original rom from telstra just by downloading it and running it.

it also put my spl to 1.15.0000

so all i had to do then was run the gui uspl then run the install file of 1.56 from the htc website and it installed it. its loggin in now just being very slow.

duttys 3.3 xt is up and running fine now. those instructions can be a bit confusing at times but get it eventually.

Hi all !

I'm sorry but I'm still stopped at point 5.

This time I have :

SPL-1.14.0000

and original 1.14.406.3 FRE ROM (radio 1.09.25.14)

When trying to apply USPL 2.5, I have no connection (USB driver ok for XP, HD in bootloader mode)

When I try to re-apply original 1.56 FRE ROM, I have the bad user message and when trying to reapply 1.14.2, I have a 262communication error...

Thanks to help me if you are courageous :D (Im on it since last wednesday)

(I just want to patch with ROM Davideuck_V-6_HP)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
When you say you have no connection, you mean your computer doesn't see your phone connected (doesn't show HTC USB Sync in the Windows device manager)? Does it show USB at the bottom of the phone's bootloader screen?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you have 1.14.0000 you need to run USPL V2.5 and your bootloader should say SPL v 1.14.USPL afterwards.

Phone should be in bootloader and when connected to computer should say 'USB' at bottom. Also you will need to go to connection settings in activesync and disable 'Allow USB connections'

You'll need to Extract USPL from step (1e) into a folder. Go to where you extracted USPL and run BLAC_USPL.exe. You may have to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan.

(5e) Your phone should reboot and return to the 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. Once this is ready go to step (6).

Let us know how you get along
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kalak900:
I mean in the CMD/dos windows, I have the message : cant connect to usb device : check ub, active sync...

Yes it shows USB at bottom of the HD screen.

Fallen Spartan -> Ill try ASAP once again.

Under bootloader, there is still a active sync connection ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Have you gone through the routine of "forcing" Windows to update the drivers for the HTC USB Sync device? If not, then USPL will never be able to communicate with your device using the embedded Windows drivers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GrantyBaby:
Arghhhhhh!

Please, I cant take anymore! I have been trawling the site for 4 hours now and still there no end in sight!

i've tried my hardest to avoid posting, D'oh!

I installed and flashed HSPL 1.56 last night to my orange UK touch HD ver 1.14, checked bootloader, olinex 1.56, no probs. (well apart from from the dodgy screen colour at start up)

goto step 6 and install dutty's 3.3 rom (looks so good!) run customRUU as per guide, all connected active sync ect.

programe runs, error 240! tried different verions of dutty's roms, still nothing. i thought HSPl avoided thiis?

Please Crackwhore, what am i doing wrong (apart from being a complete noob, lol) i must of miss the boat somewhere!

please tell me it's somthing simple?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kalak900:

Thanks for supporting big noobs :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Here's what the wiki says on error 240... :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You could also check and make sure your antivirus is not grabbing a hold of it. Also, where do you have the RUU and the .NBH files extracted to? If they are on your desktop the path/filename could be too long. Try moving them or renaming them.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GrantyBaby:
Error [240]

Cheers for speedy reply guys,

Crackwhore, saw one of your previous posts about about the antivirus/firewall. Turned both off and still got same response. will try again though, as it's another day and who knows what i't'll bring lol!

Dave: as far as i can remember (wife's got laptop so can't check, typical!) there were only 3 file in the zip. CustomRUU.exe, readme, and i'm pretty sure although not certain the .nbh

will check a report later. I'm right in thinking (reading) that i just had to drag and drop the nbh into the Custom RUU to flash, correct?

Once again, cheers for the speedy reponce lads.:)

Crackwhore: i extracted the files into a folder on the desktop that i name roms. i did get an error message about the length of file name, and change the the dutts 3.3 i think. i'm guessing that this isn't the problem though as i had no problems downloading the 2.7 version?

USPL V2.5

USPL needs to be re-used before every flash as its not permanent and its recommended to flash Original HTC rom before Duttys.

Duttys V3.3 is based on HTC 1.57 and pre V3.3 are based on HTC 1.56 so flash either HTC 1.56 or 1.57 depending on Duttys rom you want

hi

I've just got the HD again :)

I followed every steps in the tutorial yet I still couldnt update the ROM

I'm at 6a already, my SPL shows 1.54.000

whenever I try to flash the Custom ROM It stays at 0% (I used Dutty's and L26, 2 most reliable ROM maker :)), after some minutes it ask to do the Recovery mode.

what did I do that could lead to that problem? I did everything, step by step :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You need to re-use USPL before every flash to new rom or radio

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yeah you can rename the .NBH file anything you want. As long as CustomRUU.exe and any .NBH file are in the same folder, the CustomRUU will find and flash it automatically.

Actually, dragging and dropping the .NBH file onto the CustomRUU.exe will cause a problem so don't do that ;)

Just run CustomRUU.exe.

Or should I flash davideuck V6 rom now ? And how ? With HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex ? or Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex ? Or ?

Many thanks and sorry :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You need to decide whether you want to use the stock HTC SPL (currently v 1.54.0000) or the new HSPL (v 1.56.oliNex). If you choose to stay with the stock HTC SPL you will have you run USPL every time you wish to flash a custom rom. If you flash the new HSPL you can simply flash any rom you like.

If you go the USPL route, you must have a base SPL version of 1.54.0000 to run any custom rom that is based on the HTC 1.56+ version rom. So, first you need to check what SPL version shows in your bootloader BEFORE running USPL. If it shows anything less than 1.54.0000 then you need to flash a stock HTC rom that is v 1.56+. This will update your base SPL to the right version. Once completed there you can use USPL and flash any custom rom based on the HTC 1.56+ rom to your phone.

If, on the other hand, you decide to use HSPL you simply need to flash the HSPL 1.56.oliNex and then the custom rom. There should be no use of USPL if you are going this route.

Thanks again : goal is near :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
2 options:

1. VIA STORAGE CARD METHOD:

Rename .nbh file blacimg.nbh

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.

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

2. ALTERNATIVE WAY OF FLASHING YOUR ROM WITH RUU.exe

Put BlackStoneCustomRuu.exe and .nbh file into same folder on pc

Be sure to have at least 50% of charge.

Turn off your device by using the Power Button

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

Connect your device to PC

Run BlackStoneCustomRuu.exe and follow the screen instructions.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Haha the pleasure is mine buddy. Glad you got it done!

If you were on Dutty's 3.0 all you needed to do was use USPL to flash his 3.3. Where are you at now? Do you still have SPL v 1.54.0000 if you check your bootloader? How are you trying to flash the rom? Are you running the CustomRUUWrapper.exe? Do you have antivirus software running? When you extracted Dutty's new rom you should have an .exe file (the RUU) and an .nbh file (the rom). They need to be in the same folder when you try to flash it. Are they?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheAgent:
After having a headache trying to get the USPL to work, here are a few hints.

After upgrading the drivers for Vista, if you machine asks for a restart but you don't want to lose the web pages, just click NO to the restart, and unplug and replug in your phone, this acts like a restart as it has to load the new driver files in, thus saving you a OS restart.

Also, any chance of updating the OP with the USPL GUI instead of the link to the separate CMD files for it, as it helped more using the GUI, as it told me what i needed to do everytime i had errors.

Also a rather big thank you coming your way for the guide, although a bit daunting at first due to not knowing what file i needed, i was soon on my way to flash heaven lol.

So THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GUIDE (yes I'm shouting lol, wanted to make sure you heard me :P)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Are you using vista or XP, if vista you will most likely need to upgrade drivers

Also, put phone into bootloader. On pc disable 'allow usb connections' in activesync. Then connect usb from pc to phone. At bottom of bootloader screen it should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. If this happens you are able to flash from pc using usb cable

Keep us informed of progress
