Hello,

I know it’s a long shot, but I thought I'd ask if anyone know the best solution for getting any Navigation or GPS maps going on the Touch HD/Blackstone for Morocco.

I've looked for Tomtom and igo, but neither do maps. I am looking into Garmin mobile XT, but not sure if this will help me in a car?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

James
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lucas0511:
NDrive has a 7 MB-Morocco map, and it is touch-optimized for the HD. Not as feature-rich as the competition, but it does the job.

http://www.ndriveweb.com/products/product/7/

But you could also check Morocco roads on Google Maps first, and then consider Google Navigator, a PDA product not associated with Google, but providing offline Google maps with turn-by-turn instructions for your PDA.

For some reason even though it never used to do it, my touch hd has begun to rotate the screen automatically when it's in my pocket etc.

When I press the standby button to wake it up it's usually the wrong way up now, and it's annoying having to wait a few seconds to rotate the correct way round. It never used to do this, but it would still rotate things like opera and photos etc by turning the phone and that's great.

Why would it have begun behaving like this? I have got Gyrator installed but have never set anything up on it and it's been there for ages so I doubt it's that.

Cheers!
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
Have you upgraded with any og the Gyrator / G-Sensor cabs?

Regardless - search for "changescreen" on the Themes/Apps/S/ware forum and use that to set programs you do not wish to rotate.
[Touch HD General] Cret:
Thanks mate.

No I haven't upgraded the gyrator cab or the G sensor one (I don't think anyway....).

As I say I haven't even used gyrator as I'm not certain how to set it up and decided I didn't really need to anyway.

Have installed changescreen (cheers for the tip) and set Manila in it to only have upright portrait mode. It seems to work but not quite fully.

For instance, if I have the phone on its side (landscape) and on standby, then wake it up, it comes on in landscape.

It does then change to portrait after a couple of seconds, even if it's on its side so the software does what it should do, but that delay while it kicks in is still pretty annoying to be honest.

Is that normal with this app?

Bottom line is that the phone didn't do this until recently so there must be something that has changed and can therefore be undone, but I don't know what.

Appreciate the help. :)

Hi,

I tried the 5.0.2H and want to return to the original german t-mobile firmware. Can I use the UK-firmare and wait for the updates? or is there any german update, i can use?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wrxdrunkie:
I have been trouble shooting my 16gb SD card for my phone for quite some time, my class 6 4gb performed great, fast phone, finds my music, album art. everything. When I put 14gb of music on my 16gb card, my phone slows down, not all the music shows up, TF3d music player basicially doesnt work, very unresponsive. I then loaded up the 16gb card with a couple hundred songs, it shows more music when I have a few songs compared to 14gb, its faster, more responsive, etc.

So is there an upper limit of how much music you can hold? I let it search for a couple of hours even, and it will only find one album.

Anyone else have any problems or experience when it comes to having a lot of music on their phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] PwnCakes193:
The reason it's slow is because it has to find every MP3 and then index it, the less music, the faster it will be.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wrxdrunkie:
So basicially if I want to have a lot of music on my phone then I am just out of luck? Unless I wait a week for the phone to index? Or are their other options to help the music show up fast, like on the iphone for example.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wanwarlock:
maybe use s2p? that works well for me, have about 3gigs of songs on my 16gb. i don't use the tf3d player at all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Hajima Ichiro:
The problem is HTC Audiomanager. It can't handle that much music. I use Pocket Player, which can index my 10+ gigs of music in just a few minutes. I disabled TF3D because it slows down my phone too much, but for whatever reason, any time I start Pocket Player, HTC Audiomanager will start up in the background and start trying to index my music, slowing and eventually freezing Pocket Player. I would love to know how to disable HTC Audiomanager for good, but for now, I just use a Mort Script to launch PP, wait 10 secs, then kill Audiomanager...

Anyway, the point is, the problem is Audiomanager. Hopefully someone can tell you (and me) how to disable its auto search function, and then you can just use some other software instead...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tyguy:
2 options:

Let the phone sit for some time after tabbing the music tab. Though you can play music the album cache is still being built

Mortplayer is nice too and comes with an audio booster which works fairly good
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cyberdon83:
I had the same problem with the phone locking up while trying to find all my music files. What seemed to work for me was letting windows media player do a library update, I don't know if it creates an index file or something like that, but as soon as that's done all my music is avaliable on the music tab.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
First of all you will need .NET installed if you do not have it already. I would recommend .NET 3.5. You can download it from Microsoft here.

The most important part about flashing a rom is knowing what SPL version your phone has and what rom you want to use before you begin flashing. If you are at a point where you have already begun flashing and are now getting a green, distorted screen, having huge issues with the phone not responding and airplane mode being stuck on, that is because you have done the process wrong. Don't fret, you can simply start over with this guide. You can still place your phone into the bootloader so you are ok.

The first thing to do is check what your SPL version currently is. To do this you need to enter bootloader by:

Turn it off.

Hold the volume down button while you press the power on button.

You should see a tri-color screen with some text (This is bootloader).

Plug in your phone to your computer via USB. At the very bottom of the screen it should show USB.

Once you know what your SPL version currently is you need to decide whether you want to use USPL or HSPL to flash roms.

The difference between USPL and HSPL:

HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.

USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.

Now that you have decided which route you want to go as far as SPL's go, temporarily disable or uninstall your virus scanning software as 90% of them will conflict with flashing.

If you wish to use HSPL and it shows your current SPL as:

Anything but 1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL1) on post 2

1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL4) on post 2

If you wish to use USPL and it shows your current SPL as:

Anything but 1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL1) on post 3

1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL5) on post 3

MOD EDIT (01/10/09)

Video guide to help newbies out with loading ROMs
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
HSPL Method

Use this method only if you selected the HSPL route from the first post!

HSPL1 - Downloads

(HSPL1a) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip

(HSPL1b) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on device which is based on 1.56+

(HSPL1c) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip

(HSPL1d) SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip

(HSPL1e) Extract each item to its own folder

HSPL2 - Flash new SPL (1.56.OliNex)

(HSPL2a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

(HSPL2b) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (HSPL1a) and follow it as normal.

(HSPL2c) If successful, go to step HSPL3. If the flashing process sits at 0% and you get Error [260] connection after some time, go to step (Troubleshooting).

HSPL3 - Check SPL version

(HSPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

(HSPL3b) When the bootloader appears it should show SPL v 1.56.OliNex. If it does go to step (HSPL4). If it does not something happened so repeat step (HSPL2).

HSPL4 - Flash new 1.56+ rom

(HSPL4a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

(HSPL4b) If the rom you downloaded from step (HSPL1b) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (HSPL1c). Make sure the .nbh file from step (HSPL1b) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.

(HSPL4c) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.

(HSPL4d) 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...

You are done!

Troubleshooting - manual SSPL

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.

Awesome stuff. I wish this was around the other night when I spent hours and hours reading and reading before finally sorting it out.

I failed at your step 7 however as I think it was 2am and I was passing out in front of the PC whilst rebooting and hard resetting over and over. Beer tonight then!

Thanks for this great work.

Unfortunately Im stuck at step 5d

USB connection in Activesync mode is off.

My phone is in bootloader, "Serial" change to "USB" aswell

However when I launch blac_uspl.exe in command prompt (in windows XP) I have the following error : D:\Mes documents\Downloads\uspl_2.5>blac_uspl

HTC Blackstone USPL version 2.5, Apr 5 2009

Opening USB port \\?\usb#vid_0bb4&pid_00ce#5&381252ce&0&1#{25dbce51-6c8f-4a72-8a

6d-b54c2b4fc835}...

ERROR: USB port could not be opened!

Verify that device is connected and SPL boot mode is active,

disallow USB connections in ActiveSync settings and try again.

If I need to install "vista usb drivers", please kindlly state how to.. in XP as the folder c:\winnt\inf contains .inf & .cat files.

Thnx a lot.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes, download the USB drivers from above and extract them to a folder. Mind where you extract them. Follow these steps:

(1) Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc

(2) Look for HTC USB Sync

(3) Double-click it and click the Driver tab

(4) Click Update Driver

(5) On new screen tell it not to use Windows Update

(6) Install from a specified location

(7) Check only box that says "Include this location in the search"

(8) Click Browse and locate the extracted drivers you downloaded

(9) After selecting click next and select the new driver

(10) After it is updated reboot and try USPL again

Let me know how it works.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
LOL, good deal!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What is giving you this message? The RUU? What step are you at in my guide? Do you get USPL run successfully? Does your bootloader on your phone show 1.15.USPL and USB when it's connected to your computer?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Keep up the good work bro and you'll be a MOD soon enough!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
haha... that's a big job on this forum! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Multani004:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Up to step 5, everything is ok.

but It wont let me update saying its impossible to update the drivers.

1 more thing i want to mention is that i found those inf & cat files already present in c:\winnt\inf folder. ofcourse the size is not the same.

I will try to update the drivers again though Im starting to assume that my windows dont see a different between already present files and new extracted files.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You can force Windows to accept the new driver files. You just have to tell it that you "Have Disk" and locate those files. Once you do it will show a dialog where you can select the device and it should overwrite your current driver with the one from the download.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Good picture step-by-step guide for updating drivers can be found here

Hey,

ive followed ur instructions down to a T.

I've been able to get to this step:

(6) Run USPL. For instructions on how, read steps (5b) through (5e). If you are at this point and have already flashed the new HTC 1.56 rom your SPL version will show 1.54.0000 at step (5b). This is ok and is correct.

how ever when i try and flash any of the new roms 2.8 or 2.9 it basically stays on 0%

help?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chiraag:
Thanks

keep up the great work..

thanks again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] abu.khalifa:

i've figured it out lol

jus flashin 2.9 :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] onedutch:
Be sure you use the Download link in the first post

1) You should place your HD in SPL bootloader mode (un-sure how the screen is officially called) you know the trick with Volume Down button en power up the HD. You get the rainbow coloured screen, connect your USB cable and the Mobile Device should popup in the device manager.

2) I had this message also several times, somehow their are several different packages on xda-developers. I used the package mentioned on the first post http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=175546&d=1239553746 this contains 2 folder 32bit and 64bit, if you choose the 64 bit version is should work. At least it worked for me :) Vista 64bit Ultimate English.

Hi Guys and Gals, trying to flash Duttys 2.9 Rom!!

Ive followed every guide in history on this website but i cannot get past the green screen its doing my head in!!

Im using USPL and have got all that working, just when it boots back in to OS it is green screen!!

After i have flashed when i go to bootloader should it still be SPL-1.14.0 inex??

These are the settings when its booting too.

R 1.13.25.24

G 52.52.2534U

D 1.56 Duttys

Thanks team xx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ati75:
If you still get SPL-1.14.0 inex you didn't install the stock SPL. You really have to follow the guide to the letter or else you will have problems like these.

Did you overwrite the RUU_signed.nbh from the hard-spl with the one from the stock spl package? Only after having overwritten this file should you continue with flashing the spl, or else you would only install the hard-spl again.

Hope it helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ilj:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NorthernProject:
abu.khalifa.. how did you figure it out.. I'm having the same problem
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Woohoo I got a sticky! Love your avatar!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Technically, yes you can flash back and forth between signed HTC roms without having to use HSPL or USPL. However, if you are loading roms that have a different CID than your phone's CID then you will the "invalid vendor ID" message when you try to load that particular rom. If you do receive this, do not fret, all you have to do is run USPL and then try again.

About flashing from the SD card- since it looks like your SPL is already 1.14 then yes you should be able to do it with the process you mentioned. Some SD cards do not work so give it a shot and let us know what happens. If it says something like "no image file" after said process then you probably have one of those non-working SD cards.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
When you run USPL, are you putting your phone in bootloader beforehand? If you are, what does it show your SPL is before you run USPL? And what about after USPL? It should show 1.54.0000 beforehand and 1.15.USPL afterward. If it does not show 1.15.USPL afterward and you are trying to flash to Dutty's 2.8/2.9 it will not load.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snapey:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Try running USPL from a command window (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe). This way you can see what the error text is before the window closes. There are instructions a few posts back if you need on navigating a command prompt.

My guess is that you probably need to do the driver update in step (0) of the guide.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekerbuddyeker:
I followed the instructions to the letter. But have been stuck on 0% for hours, trying to figure out why i couldnt get Duttys ROM to flash, and then it hit me....

AFTER RUNNING USPL DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE! leave it in the bootloader and IMMEDIATELY RUN RUUWRAPPER IN DUTTYS FOLDER
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Haha... that sucks that you didn't realize that for so long. At least you've gotten it sorted now I'm guessing? USPL is temporary so you have to have your device in the bootloader, connected, showing SPL 1.15.USPL in order to flash these newer roms ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chris Cross:
Wow - great summary of instructions. Thanks a lot. I think I'll give it a try as soon as I get some free time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:
If i follow these steps, does this mean i can use the new roms, e.g duttys? I have never done any flashing or changes ROm's before.

Been reading through the WIki and its all a bit daunting at first!!

Do i need to do an SPB back up before doing this rom thing?
