I have followed your wise words, and thanx ever so much for the advice, but it is coming up with:

ERROR [246] : DEVICE NOT RESPONDING

This error message indicates that RUU cannot start the update process. Please contact your service provider for assistance

ANY IDEAS?

THEN_______

I had this useful info from Fallen Sparten:

You need to use HSPL 1.56 for roms based on 1.56+. This should solve all your issues.

Read and follow this guide. As you already have HSPL 1.14 all you need to do is flash HSPL 1.56 and then flash chosen rom (Duttys 6.5)

Post future flashing queries within that thread. Thread closed

So I tried to flash 156Olinex and im getting that error message.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to get over this please?

SMS Problems

HI I recently flashed my HD with one of Duttys 6.5 and its a dream. I have now discovered that my sms is recieving but not sending.

I am on Orange UK and have the number in the servie centre setting: +447973100973

i cannot see what else could cause this problem, and wondered if anyone had any ideas.

Also the voicemail number keeps dissapearing from the settings...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
By any chance are you using his R3 Leo rom? This was a common issue if you had read rom thread. Throy has now released R4 Leo which has fixed this issue.

This thread is for issues on flashing roms. If you have an issue with a particular rom you should post your query within that rom thread.

Hey gus, i`m new to flashing, can you please explain how to get to bootloader?

thanks a lot
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you had read first post it already explains this, i.e.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kolakao155:
ok thanks a lot:) i thouth i`d be it, just wanted to make sure. so do i understand it right i have the pda connected via usb and all the other procedures i do on the pc?

i`m dummy i know, but this is for dummies lol

thank you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, provided you are in bootloader and usb is showing, you click on the RUU file and complete all other steps on the pc. You should do a hard reset after flashing the rom.

As a noob, when in bootloader confirm that you have 1.56.Olinex showing in the top section (if you used hspl) or 1.54.0000 if you are using uspl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kolakao155:
Thank you guys you`ve been really helpful, now`s the time to flash the rom when i`m home from work:)if i`m in trouble i`ll let knowe haha

:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
In that case, hopefully we don't hear from you :D. Good luck with the flash.

Glad we could help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] THUDUK:
I have just upgraded to an HD from diamond, on the diamond the best proceedure to get a stable rom running was to first flash an official standard rom, before your custom rom.

Is this the same with the HD ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Generally speaking when your doing a flash for the first time this would be the best procedure, but once you've done this once there is no real need afterwards for other flashes, i.e. if your wanting a cooked rom based on 1.56+ it would be best to flash a stock rom also based on 1.56 first. Personally I haven't seen the need to do this again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] j1978:
Hello Guys

I finally worked up the courage to flash my HD

and WOW! seriously i was going to give up on it and get an iphone i was fed up of the slugishness , the missed calls ect..

Anyway i flashed the rom in my sig and its much better.

I used USPL and flashed from the SD card it went without a glitch :)

A Big thank you to all the great people in this forum especially Fallen Spartan (who put up with my" looong" post full of noob questions a while back ), for all the good advice and information.

hey plz any body would right for me the full way to put windows 6.5 on my mob plz because i am not understanding any thing :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You will need to provide me with some information about your current rom version and spl first. Go to the Settings tab and click About. Write down all of the information you see there. Then put your phone into bootloader mode (tricolour screen like attached picture). To do this turn the phone off, then press and hold the volume down button and the briefly press the power on button and then write down the current spl version on your phone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
No need to panic just yet, this guide is actually straight forward as long as you follow it step by step. Do as ClydeB1 said above and enter bootloader so we can see what SPL you have and guide you on correct path.

You will also need to decide on whether you want to use USPL or HSPL. A description of both can be found in first post.

My Blackstone runs very slower after flashing ROM

Very recently I installed the latest Dutty's Leo R4 ROM to my blackstone, I followed the tutorial precisely [uspl method] and the installation is sucessful, I've the following problems now,

1. Mobile freezes very often, and become very slow, especially when connected to the PC for sync, the cpu percentage is always more than 60%

2. The camera screens beome green under poor lighting condition, also it becomes pure white while aking picture, apart from this the picture quality is much much better than blackstone camera.

3. Start time takes too long.

I did two Hard reset after flashing, Is there any solution available? I'll be thankful if someone solves this issue,

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Dutty has done a wonderful job, my mobile has got a very new fresh look, special mention for Dutty for his hard work.

----------------------

OLD VERSION

Blacksone

blac100 32m

spl-1.54.0000

microP-blackstone (led) v6

NEW VERSION

blac100 32m

spl-1.54.0000

Dutty's Leo R4 ROM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you sure that the uspl load was successful? After running uspl did the spl in bootloader show 1.15.uspl? Some of the symptoms you describe are indicative of having the wrong spl for the rom.

The white flash on the camera is however normal for many of the new roms, but the poor quality colours, slow phone and hang-ups are not. i'm not sure what the normal memory usage of R4 is, but these new wm6.5 manila 2.5.1 roms are heavy on memory with all of the features they have, so a memory usage of 60% is not unusual. (My Phamquang rom is currently on 61%)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schiwa:
Yes The Bootloader showed 1.15. uspl, is there any other way to findout if my installation of spl is wrong? as for me i go with the turorial, and everything was exactly as it was told.

AND, thanks for clearing my doubts on memory usage, I initially thought that the phone freezes due to the heavy memory usage.

Thanks a lot for you immediate reply.

will it be useful if the radio version is updated?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
I'm trying to give my HTC HD Touch the following rom update:

udK_Leo_R2_WM65_WWE

I used a USPL (USPL GUI v2.5) and then went on with the RUU. The progress bar displays on my monitor on my pc and on my device... But it freezes at 0%.

What do I do now?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No problem bro, glad to try to help you out. Perhaps you should try to flash again as you should not be experiencing the symptoms you are describing, so you possibly just had a bad flash.

I'm not using R4, but Dutty roms are normally very stable and quick. I've read a few of the posts on htcpedia and nobody else is describing these symptoms. (Remember to run uspl again before flashing).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Do you get any error message on the pc?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
Oh, I thought it totally froze, but I now see the error: ERROR [262]: UPDATE ERROR
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
This error happens to a few people, you need to do the following:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
Phew, thanks, sorry for freaking out. Haven't had problems till now with flashing. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Pleasure m8, so I take it things worked out?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Updating the radio may really only help if you are experiencing poor quality calls. This is also very dependent on your location as a radio that works well for one user will not work for another.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
Yeah, it simply rebooted after I reinstalled my battery and still has the previous ROM installed. I wanted to try out the new Manilla 2.6, but I guess I need to wake up, because that udk rom isn't for the Blackstone. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Oops, that would help hey ;)

If you are looking for a manila 2.6 (it's actually 2.5.1) rom you can try PhamQuang's v64 rom or else Dutty Leo R4 or miri V8.0(follow my signature). PhamQuang uses the latest builds and is very stable for me, but others feel that Dutty and miri use more stable bases for their roms. But read the respective threads and make your own decision ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
Sounds good!! I'm gonna try that phamquang rom! Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
See you there ;). You may want to upgrade the pagepool on the rom to either 20mb or 24mb before flashing. you can get more info and the tool here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Niels87:
I feel dumb right now, but what does the pagepool mean? :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
We are busy hi-jacking the thread now, move over to the PDAViet (PhamQuang thread and I'll pick it up there.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Run this from a command window (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe)... and see what the error text is. It won't disappear like it does when you just double-click it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Haha, I'm the same... I've moved on to rum and coke ;)

Ack!!! This is a dire situation... what can we do about this!?!??! :D

It's good when we can talk about beer and liquor and not phone-flashing problems yes?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
of course it is good--- it keeps my mind of the thing "how the hell I can flash to that 2.9 rom??" and it helps killing time :D

about that situation--- left the vodka on the table and moved to martini --- gona have a big headache in the morning :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
LOL! *cheers* same here... I'm at least 3 beers and 3 mixed drinks deep at the moment... good times!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simforosa:
Thanks for your answer, but I am desperate.

I followed your instructions, but the problem persists ...

Start -> Run -> cmd.exe and nothing happens...

Open again blac_uspl... and the black windonw open and close...

Please help!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Real good!!!! :D cheers

btw did everything as in the guide -- bootloader shows spl-1.54.0000 -- but when I start installing dutty's 2.9 rom it goes to bootloader starts showing the progress bar and it stays at 0% -- waited for about 3 mins and still at 0% !!! What Should I do?? What have I done wrong?? :D

:EDIT: found a solution -- had to run blac_uspl provided with run and then rom installed fine :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
When you open a command promt and run BLAC_USPL.exe from there (wherever you have the file extracted to) it will not disappear after you run the application from it. Then you can read the error text that the application displays as it will not just disappear.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
disable "allow usb connections" in activesync --enter bootloader on your HD- connect it to your pc -->on pc- go to windows/system32 and find cmd.exe - copy cmd.exe to the same folder as your blac_uspl -- run cmd.exe and write blac_uspl.exe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] willykatie:
Thanks for the guide :)

After a few hours i managed to get to USPL.

Use this file if you have Vista X64 to automatic disable your Digital Signature without pressing F8 and don't forget to disable your anti virus as well. Once you finish, just uninstall it from Control Panel if you wish :)

And if you get error code 10, re-attach your usb cable and oas sson as you see usb at the bottom of the screen, press enter to go to USPL (type blac_uspl beforehand)

Any questions, just let me know :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I'll have to test this out on a VM... sounds nice if it works :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simforosa:
Thanks for your answers, but I'm totally confused, and I'm not doing this ...

is terrible because I am in the middle of the process, and I can not upgrade ... I can not install any cooked rom ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
when you enter bootloader - what does your screen show??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
From your previous posts it seems that you are at the point where you need to run USPL and load a cooked rom but you are having issues running USPL. Since you are not running it from a command window the program closes before you can see what the error text is.

If you are confused as to how to run it from a command window, you need to look up basic DOS commands on Wikipedia or something.

What you need to do is get to the directory in the command prompt window where you have the file BLAC_USPL.exe. Once you change directories to that one you can run that file and see what the exact error is when you try to run it...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] willykatie:
Yup it will work as i just tested :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simforosa:
ok, I put cmd.exe and blac_uspl.exe in the same folder.

run cmd.exe and two errors appear:

"The system can not find message text for message number 0x2350 in the message file for the application"

"The system can not find message text for message number 0x2334 in the message file for the application"

C:\Users\C\Desktop
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simforosa:
this is the error that appears when open blac_uspl.exe

(is a fast capture, black window opens and closes very quickly)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
When you are running USPL are you putting your phone in bootloader beforehand? When you put the phone in bootloader and plug it in via USB does it show "USB" at the bottom of bootloader screen?

If you get to that point you should be able to run USPL from there. What operating system are you running on your computer? Windows XP or Vista? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Dutty's Leo R4 ROM flash

Hi Buddy,

I once again Reflashed Dutty's Leo R4 ROM today,

Here's the step by step process I followed,

Place your phone into its bootloader.

blac100 32m

spl-1.54.0000

microP-blackstone (led) v6

and USB at the bottom

Perfect

step 1

Run USPL.exe, Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v

1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom.

blac100 32m

spl-1.15.USPL

microP-blackstone (led) v6

and USB at the bottom

Perfect

step 2

Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, Do not click any buttons on the screen when the

application appears.

Copy RUU_Signed.nbh, overwrite the one in the directory where you ran

HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe

ANd DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.

Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock 1.54.0000 SPL to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.

Done

Check SPL version

blac100 32m

spl-1.54.0000

microP-blackstone (led) v6

and USB at the bottom

perfect

Step 3

Flash new 1.56+ rom

run USPL.exe

blac100 32m

spl-1.15.USPL

microP-blackstone (led) v6

and USB at the bottom

Perfect

Make sure the .nbh and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.

Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe,

Done

Dutty's Leo R4 installed scusefully

Perfect

Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended.

You are done!

I just copy cat Digital Outcast's tutorial located here,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3

Now my problem is,

There is an extra space between the operator Logo and the digital clock, this may not have much difference when in home screen, but once you enter into phone book, the first row seems to be disappers into a black bar, which also blocks in almost all of the programme. [marked in the attached pictures]

Also the black scroll bar looks ugly,

Manila version is 2.5.19

Any solution?, apart, everything is fine.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Glad to hear that everything went fine with the flash.:D

Those screens look normal to me however (they may differ from the dialer in the stock rom as Dutty and most chefs now use the Topaz dialer in these roms). The black bar that is shown on the dialer is where the number you type in to call will appear. The sliders etc are a problem that Dutty has had in his last few roms. You can apply a different theme to change the appearance of these however. One that I have previously used the Dusk theme zip (not the whole theme, but just the theme zip - it's a small file ;).)

Download the zip file and after you unzip add the whole Themes folder to \My Documents on the device memory. Then go to Settings\Today and select Dusk as the theme. Select ok and the theme will be applied.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schiwa:
Thx buddy, I'll install them a couple of hrs later, [hectic office work] thx again buddy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] schiwa:
Buddy,

Does PhamQuang,

WM6.5 ROM 1.59.841.64 - HTC TouchHD has got the weather animation screen, like the Leo has got?

Since Leo is the first flash of mine, so no idea abt various ROMS, also the link from your signature to the pham quang doesn't have any info abt it.

Thx,

p.s I'm planning to flash the phamquang, any comments [if any] will be useful to me
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It has got even more advanced weather animation that the initial Leo roms. :D

Now that you have successfully flashed and have decided on a new rom, post your future questions in the thread for that rom and I'll pick them up there (ie on PhamQuang). I don't want to hijack the thread anymore ;)

For the PhamQuang rom it is suggested to up the pagepool to at least 20mb and to install the NeoS2007 driver pack
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
But same as latest Leo roms, i.e. Leo R4

Agreed, all rom related queries should be posted in relevant rom thread

I would generally use this as a rule of thumb for most roms I use now

Now back on topic please! :D

anyone has any problem with getting their phones to hard reset? i was able to complete all the steps except the part where i was required to hard reset my phone. i pressed the volume up and down buttons and then the on button but it only brought me to the smart mobility screen.

please help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
There are 2 methods to hard reset your device:

1.

Turn off device

Hold down volume down & volume up and press power on (continue to hold vol up & vol down)

You should be presented with white screen and blue text. Follow instructions and press vol down to hard reset

2.

Go to Start > settings > system > clear storage

Help with installing Neos2007 driver pack

Hi I'm a complete Newbie. Just flashed my HD successfully using this guide thanks to the author for his good work! Now I need to install Neos2007 driver pack, but no idea how to do it. When I double-click the _setup.xml file on my SD card from the phone's explorer it just tries to open opera browser, but not much happens. Please can someone direct me on how to install the drivers. Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Just copy the entire cab file to your device and click on the cab file ad it installs itself. You do not need to unpack the files first as it's self extracting
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You have various methods of installing software on your device. You can either install it direct from SD card if its a cab file or through your pc by a .exe file.

In your case its a cab file. As stated above you just copy whole cab file unto your device, then using your file explorer on your HD locate the cab file and click on it. It should then self install.

If its a .exe file you need to have your HD connected to your pc via a usb cable and phone sync'ed using activesync. Once this is done click on the .exe file on your pc to install it on your HD.

Hope this clears things up for ya.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SAman1:

i try it twice...same thing...stll cannot proceed....

any clue on this? >_<
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you sure the error code is 626 or is it not perhaps 262? Never heard of error 626.

Was the hspl upgrade successful? What spl is showing on screen in bootloader mode? - should be showing 1.56.Olinex.

Give it a few more tries. Provided spl is correct and usb is showing in bootloader then it will eventually take. I'm not sure why this happens to some people.
