[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scoopycoopydoo:
hi all

i have trouble undrestanding how should i flash my new rom

i had stock rom then i used this guide and flashed it to energy rom

i can't remember i used uspl or hspl but now that i checked on that 3 color screen it is written "1.56.OliNex"

my problem is now i want to change my rom to topix and i heart it's better to first flash back to stock rom and then hard reset and flash the new rom

i don't know how should i do that!!!??? where can i find the stock rom and how should i flash it bach (should i again use these 2 method in this thread?)

i know it's probably very silly question but would you plz give clear step by step instruction

thank you all
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As you have hspl, you can flash to any stock rom. You'll find many here.

Flash to the rom you choose and let the phone setup. The colours will be funny (like low res) but that's ok and is only due to the spl mismatch. Then flash back to your cooked rom. It's not necessary to do this each time though. I used to do it after every 10 flashes or so.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
When do you get the Error 240 message and when do you get the Error 260?

Error 240: This can be because you do not have the rom.nbh file in the same folder as the CustomRUU. You should only have these 2 files in the folder and nothing else. You can also try running the RUU as Administrator.

Error 260 is a connection error and running sspl should resolve the problem eventually. Have you tried updating your usb drivers?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lunakirb:
error 240 is when i flash rom for first try i will get that error..i always get that error, inside the folder are the .nbh and the RUUwrapper only, so idont know what im doing wrong there..

error 260 is when i replaced the rom i used on my first try and put other custom rom..usb drivers i believe its updated, i did update it last year before i started flashing different roms, i used the same computer since then.is there another usb drivers update agian? this computer is an administrator accnt. also. thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Try doing the drivers again. Sometimes Windows Updates overwrites these drivers. I also have my account set up as Administrator on my pc, but for some apps they still do not work unless I right click and choose Run as Administrator.

Please help I'm stuck here :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Try turning your AV off, redownload uspl and try again (still with AV off). Remember to turn it on again once finished. Some AV's give a false positive on a trojan in the files and may disable part of the exe, stopping it from working.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WingZer0n:
Did that...still the same...... :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Put device into bootloader and connect it to pc. Does bottom of bootloader change from 'serial' to 'usb'? If yes, then run USPL. What happens? Have you tried resettingt device, putting it into bootloader straight away and then running USPL again?

Also try using Manual SSPL & HSPL? See troubleshooting section at start of thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhasmi:
On the bootloader screen, it indicate "SERIAL" not USB as indicated. Any solutions? Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WingZer0n:
Finally managed to flashed to Dutty's rom......had to do manual sspl.....thanks guys.....I tried flashing on my fren's lappie.....still same problem.......not sure how I did it last night....but now its on a cooked rom...finally :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, first go to connection settings in activesync and ensure that 'allow usb connections' is enabled then try again.

If you still get 'serial' in bootloader when connected via usb you may need to update your usb drivers. See guide and start of thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Excellent news means. Just shows you that if you keep with it you'll get it in the end. People just need to be persistent ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WingZer0n:
Thanks mate...btw if i need to reflash a new rom do I do it the same way or can I do the storage card method?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you are using HSPL, just use storage card method and flash away

If you are using USPL, re-use USPL and then use storage card and flash away
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WingZer0n:
thanks mate already flashed to energy rom with is a lot better than the first rom which I used...which was so laggy....also managed to flash the radio rom and the rilphone :)

also found out abt that cool XDA_UC also...... :D

will try out other roms......after that maybe Android :D

I screwed up. Flashed a ROM before I realised my battery was getting low.

Now I get the Tri-colour screen with "ROM Code Error. Please Try again" and the device reboots. I'm stuck in this cycle and can't get out!

I've removed the sd card and tried rebooting, but no luck. Any advice?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Try reflashing stock rom and then retry cooked rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Thanks for the advice, but it won't stay on long enough to flash anything.

Can I get it to charge without going through the continuous reboot cycle?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] WeeJockMacFeegle:
Ignore that question. The answer was not to try to recharge the battery at all, but to flash with the battery removed. I now have a bootable HD. Think I'll let it charge tonight before flahsing back to NRG's 1st April Rom.

Please help!

Hey guys please help me... i tried to do this...i followed every step...but when i did it, after i put the olinex 1.56, the screen colors are totally inverted....i mean now red is green and so...it looks just like a photo negative...im very worried about this please please tell me what can i do!?!?!?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alex13200:
Hi, i apologize for asking this, but i bought a used touch HD and it has a Leo rom in it and it's slow. I would like to try the blackstonehedge rom. Can i just flash it with blackstonehedge or do i need to revert the phone back to its original 6.1 first?

And also, on the software information it shows ROM version 1.59.709.0 but i don't know how to check whether it is uspl or hspl. Thank you...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, first of all you need to check your rom's SPL. To do this you'll need to enter bootloade by doing the following:

Turn off device.

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).

Now check your SPL. If you have HSPL it should state SPL 1.56.Olinex. If original owner used USPL, your SPL should be SPL 1.54.0000 or something similar.

If your device has HSPL already on it you can flash your desired rom straight away. If your device has been using USPL, then you'll need to use USPL first and then flash desired rom

Hope this helps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The colour problem is a sure sign of a spl/rom mismatch. Have you confirmed that 1.56.Olinex is indeed installed (check in bootloader)? If it is installed then what rom do you have installed? You will need to have a rom cooked on a 1.56+ base. If you do have hspl loaded with a rom using less than a 1.56 base or if you have a 1.56+ based rom but the wrong hspl then you will have these colour problems.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alex13200:
Hi, thank you for the reply. I entered bootloader and it shows SPL 1.56 Olinex. So I guess the next step is to connect the phone to USB and run BlackstoneCustomRUU.exe from the PC and just follow whatever the next step is? This will be the first time for me so i hope everything goes well. And thank you for the help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Correct, if your SPL states 1.56.Olinex you can flash your desired rom by running ruuwrapper file. Don't forget to have the ruuwrapper and .nbh rom file in the same folder ;) Happy flashing
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alex13200:
Aright, thank you so much. Managed to flash it through MicroSD without any problems. Can't believe how simple it is. Guess the fear of things going wrong just made it more difficult. Thank you again.

question

I am having a HTC HD phone for a year. It was from Hong Kong. My carrier is Tmobile, so this phone wouldnt be able for 3G speed. If I upgrade this phone as steps show on this forum, would this phone be able for 3G speed?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Guest69:
I' struggling !

I have successfully updated the drivers but whn I click "Run USPL" from the USPL GUI v 2.5, I get the message: USPL GUI v 2.5 has stopped working.

My phone is conneted and in bootloader showing USB at the bottom, any clues as to anything i can do? all of my anti virus is turned off.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Check the location you extracted the downloaded USPL GUI files to and see if there is a file called blac_uspl.exe. If your antivirus was running when you extracted the files it most likely deleted that file. If it did, the application will crash when you try to run it. If that is the case, just re-download and re-extract it with your antivirus off.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Unfortunately, no. The radio hardware on that device does not support the necessary frequency bands that T-Mobile uses for their 3G network.

Hi All

I have now seached all the forums here in the HD part and I can't seem to find an answer to my problem, so I'll throw it at you guys :)

I have an unlocked Blackstond 100 HD phone that is untouchable by any type of flashing I have now tried.. even the USPL "hacking" doesn't work..

I have tried the Manual one with the exe file on the SD card, but the file manager just tells me the file is no valid or doesn't have the digitally signed file type :( ..

Isn't there anything I can do to "break-in" and flash this phone ?!

It's running the org. MW 6.1 atm.

Thanks in advance

If you put your phone in the bootloader what it your SPL version?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, when you put device in bootloader and connect it to pc using usb cable does bottom of bootloader change from 'serial' to 'usb'?

If not you will need upgrade usb drivers by following guide at start of this thread.

If it does change, what happens when you run USPL or HSPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falgaroth:
Yes it changes from Serial to USB.

I have tried to install the other USB drivers also it didn't help.

What happens is that it losses connection with the PC, both Vista x64 and Win 7 x64 ..

And then I get the 0% loading bar.. and the install cancels on the PC.

Woohoo I located the solution to this particular problem, for some strange reason the phone was changed by the phone company software, and after doing a factory reset everything now works :D

Thanx for all the previous help thou :D

I'm actually having problems with the new cooked rom that i've install. I realised that when ever i switch off the phone and on it back, it stops loading at the htc start up screen. I've soft resetted it many times but it always stop loading there. the only option i have done countless of times is a hard reset. Every 2-3 days I would need to hard reset my touch HD phone. I'm currently running a MaryOne WWE Build 23559 - Sense 2.5.20121412.0 - WWE [170410] with HSPL 1.56.OliNex. Please advice me whether I should be installing any new drivers or totally scrap this build?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Glad to hear it. Welcome to ORD :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Nothing wrong with build, possibly a bad flash. I'd ask within the MarOne thread to see if others have experienced anything similar, but I've tried many MaryOne roms and this is not something I'd associate with his roms.

Alternatively flash a different rom ;)

How can I place the phone into its bootloader, when my volume down button is broken(it doesn't work anymore:(). Any tips?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Generally if you are flashing a rom, when you run the executable, i.e. the ruu.exe file it will automatically force your device into bootloader

is there anything else i should do before doing the steps....

i'm trying to install rom but it keeps to be 0% after this goes to recovery mode

what should i do ? please help me

SPL version : 1.54.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If your SPL is 1.54.0000 that is a stock SPL. It will not allow you to flash unsigned roms. This is why it keeps sitting at 0% and then fails. You need to follow this guide to either flash your SPL with a modified SPL (HSPL) or use USPL to temporarily place your phone in a modified state to where you can flash a rom to it.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What device do you have? If you have a Touch Diamond 2 and not a Touch HD then you are in the wrong forum and are trying to flash incompatible and potentially hazardous things to your device! If you have a Touch Diamond 2 go here instead!

I'm new to flashing so I've read all the tutorials. I cannot load the 1.56.OliNex to my device because every time i try it it gives me a 262 error (update error)(also, the program doesn't show my device info) What can i do about this?

I have a stock HTC touch HD.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

Color/Graphics Issues

Hello Fallen S, I am a brand newbie and very frustrated at this flashing business. I have flashed my HTC Touch HD following the steps and now have SPL-1.54.0000.

However, my graphics/color is messed up...what should I do? I have been reading the threads but not a clear answer/solution...or I'm just not getting it!

Please SOS.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you have updated your SPL to the newer version but are still running an older rom that is why. You need to download and flash a newer rom from the forums here that is supported on SPL 1.54.0000+
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As Digital Outcast stated, its due to your SPL not matching your rom.

You need to be using a rom based on 1.54+ otherwise you'll get these colour issues. Similarly if you were to revert back to SPL 1.14.0000 you would need a rom based on less than 1.54

If you plan to flash a cooked rom you'll need either USPL or HSPL on device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AlexEv:
having a strange problem with SSPL-Manual-TouchHD ... no USB is showing up when I load this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You are running it from your phone correct? When it runs, your phone "reboots" into the bootloader showing SPL 1.07.OliNex right? If that is the case and it just doesn't show USB at the bottom, have you tried unplugging the USB cable and plugging it back in at that particular point?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] AlexEv:
ok i went with the USPL method and it worked fine. Just having trouble with the hard reset. When I press the both volume buttons and the power button nothing happens...just turns on as usual :S
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You need to hold vol up & vol down, and continue to hold both vol up & vol down whilof these even after you press power on. You should then be presented with a white screen and blue text. Follow instructions to reset to factory settings. Alternatively you can go to start > settings > system > clear storage as this is the same as a hard reset (path to this may be different on your device)

When you flash a new rom it overrides existing rom on your device, a bit like putting a new OS on your pc and it is installed on mobile memory, but don't worry you'll have plenty of space left over.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you open any rom thread and read the description it should tell you what that rom is based on.

Any rom will do, plus there is no such thing as best rom as everyone has different opinions and tastes

Just save your ringtones (mp3 format) to either /windows/rings or storage card/my documents/my music and they should then appear in ringtones folder for selection

As for sim unlocking, seach for 'sim unlocking' ;)

If you have stock rom as .nbh file then you can flash it using sd card, but obviously you'll need HSPL already on device as to use USPL you need to use usb. Also to restore stock SPL you'll also need usb
