Quick update from me. I've installed the new USB drivers en installed .Net 3.5 again (just in case, you never know). Tried the HSPL route a few times, still not working. But I got 2 different errors this time, 262 and 260. Yeah > Progress:D

When I put the HD in bootmode before connecting it to the PC and then run the HSPLwrapper, I'm getting error 262. When I connect the HD normally to Windows Mobility Centre and run HSPLwrapper it gave me error 260. After that I took the Manual route, and it gave my error 262 again.

There is someting else I saw and what I like to share with you experts. When I put the HD in bootmode and run the HSPLwrapper, it does not show the current Image information during the HSPLwrapper proces. It also does not have a connection with Mobility Centre. It is only showing USB at the bottom of the screen.

When I run HSPLwrapper while the HD is connected via Windows Mobilty Center (like you normally do when you connect the HD to a PC) it does show the current Imageinformation (1.56) en shows that is is going to update to 2.00. It then puts the HD into bootmode while showing USB at the bottom but it loses connetion with Mobility Center. It then gives error 260.

Might this be someting??

Did not try the USPL route yet, because I got a troyan horse call from my antivirus. While reading the USPL route, I understood that this is normal. I will give it a go this evening.

Hi Marcel,

Both errors have the same solution, namely sspl which I guess is not going to help if you say you have followed the steps and still are having no luck:

just to recap and to remind myself, you have tried sspl and although the device boots into spl 1.07.Olinex after running sspl, running hsplwrapper still results in error 262? Can you confirm that after running sspl, the spl in bootloader shows as spl 1.07.Olinex, and that you then waited for usb to show up at the bottom of the bootloader screen before you ran hsplwrapper again?

When the device is in bootloader mode it can't make a connection to WMDC, this is normal. Just to confirm, after updating your usb drivers, did you reset the Allow USB connections in WMDC again?

If after all of this, I guess you will have to try uspl, and yes make sure to disable your antivirus before downloading the uspl files.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelweeda:
YEAHHHH SUCCES!!!!:eek:

Guys, I figured it out. The thing I did wrong is dat I've putted all the filed needed to update a rom in one single map. Once I deleted the new Rom and de Blackstone UUWrapper from that map and just had HSPLwrapper in it, it finally worked!!

Thanks for your help!

please help!

i have vista enterprise and i cannot flash :(

uspl gui gives me the message "tha uspl gui has stop working"

i updated the drivers, but the problem still exist

please help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, first off does 'usb' appear at bottom of bootloader when device is connected to pc?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] christty31:
yes, it does!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Have you disabled your anti-virus before running USPL.exe?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] christty31:
sure! :(

but.....nothing, still the same
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
When you say you updated the drivers, did you do it according to this

Guide

? In effect you may often need to actually downgrade the drivers to older versions in order for them to work.

Did you disable your anti virus before downloading the uspl gui? Often the AV kills the app before you even try to run it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, you've disabled anti-virus and pc recognizes device as 'usb' appears at bottom of bootloader. Have you tried HSPL method and possibly use SSPL if your still having difficulty
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mcrodini:
:) Hello!

I am beginner and would like to change my Touch HD 6.1 to 6.5. I've read your tutorial, but I'm afraid of doing something wrong ...

My Configurations:

ROM version: 1.56.401.0 (43972) WWE

ROM date: 03/06/09

Radio version: 1.13.25.24

Protocol version: 52.62.25.34H

I've done a HardReset for another purpose ... so afraid of doing something wrong ... follow my doubts: :confused:

1) there is a tutorial in Portuguese-Brazil? :(

2) My HD came with WorldCard Mobile software installed from factory, it is lost? Not a meeting in main memory to make the backup.

3) did bkp with PIM Backup and Sprite, and also saved a few folders on the memory card, I do something else?

4) in my case, beginner, I do one or the USPL HSPL same? :confused:

5) I change the ROM to my language en in that case?

6) ROM: I am in doubt about which ROM choose ... liked ROM | WWE | ★ Energy "Leo" 23529/21891 | Feb 7 | ★ Sense 2.5.2011 / MaxManila and RUU_Duttys_Topaz_WM6.5_Sense_2.5_Holy_Grail_R2 ...

I would use a Sense ... have any suggestions to give me. Because the English get a little confused on the forum ... but alone and with the help of XDA I managed to install a lot of interesting and useful, but I ventured to do something that requires more technical knowledge ....

You give an online support, this step by step, for cases like mine? :(

Thank you for your attention ... and at least have read my post.

I hope your return.

A hug, Cissa :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok,

1. There is no tutorial in Portuguese-Brazil. Sorry, but these forums are in English as per forum rules :(

2) If you flash a new rom, unless this new rom includes WorldCard Mobile you will lose this so check rom first. Alternatively search for WorldCard Mobile so you can install it yourself afterwards

3) Its best to backup your contacts, emails by using PIM Backup, Sprite, SPB Backup etc. I wouldn't use one of these software to restore applications, reg tweaks etc as there will be different registry paths between wm6.1 and wm6.5. If you want to restore everything have a look at SASHIMI

4) As for HSPL or USPL. This is your choice. Read first post about the differences between them and then choose one. I use HSPL but I flash everyday but HSPL voids warranty (This can be restored though)

5) Most roms can be changed to any language. Possibly try this ;)

6) As for which rom to use. Again this is your choice. Everyone has different tastes so I cannot recommend one for your needs. Try one of the main chefs and you won't go wrong (NRG, Miri, Laurentius, XannyTech, Hellonasty, Dutty etc)

7) Sense is basically manila, i.e. manila 2.5 = sense 2.5. HTC changed its name with launch of HD2

Hope this helps

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wayneroughneckz:
I hate to say this but..... HELP!!!

Ok since the thread I post was locked, I hope I wont repeat all my explanations :o But anyway currently I'm on a SPL 1.15.000 shown on the bootloader and a USB on the bottom screen a good start for me to flash. I tried to HSPL my device and follow Post 2 "HSPL Method" carefully and thoroughly and as I expected got stocked on 0% on gray screen.

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

(I tried this many times already nothing happens I'm on a complete circle)

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode. (Whats upgrade mode? Do I need to do something?)

So I proceed to troubleshooting using manual SSPL but my current ROM has a time bomb saying "this concludes the beta test of this software release...blah, blah....." Means I'm going nowhere nor can't do anything but to reset. What shall I do next? :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zerozed:
wayneroughneckz, this is what I can suggest

1. Find card reader copy the official HTC ROM as BLACIMG.nbh in the root directory of your SD card.

2. Don't put back your SD card in the phone

3. Enter in bootloader mode

4. Put back your SD card

5. Start USPL

6. Pres power button to start flashing

I hope that this will finally work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Did you run sspl?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wayneroughneckz:
Got it working now! :) SSPL work only for me when I remove the timebomb using ship rom by htc but I already download most of the roms to work EU, WWE, Asian etc... version didn't work only the Arabic+WWE so I manage to flash it back to normal again. Thanks fellas got your time and effort replying to my post I appreciate it a lot! :D

Doubt

Hi guys :)

Can anyone tell me if I'm making the things correct?

I installed Hard-Spl in my HD and I read here in the forum that it's better to falsh with stock rom before one of this forum.

I use 2 situations:

a) by PC

- Put my HD in bootloader and flash it with Official Rom

- After the flashing is complete I make 2 hard-resets

- Then I let official rom installs everything (is this necessary ? )

- With Official Rom installed I put in bootloader again and flash with one rom from here

b) from SDcard

- copy the file to the root of the memory card

- with the phone disconnected I put the card into and then went to bootloader

- When the flash is complete I made an soft-reset

- after the phone vibration when is starting I take off the batery and proceed to my 2 hard-resets

I think I'm making the things correctly but if anyone can check this I would appreciate :cool:

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Ensure that the spl version you have is 1.56.Olinex. It is not necessary to first flash to the stock rom. It has been suggested that this helps if you are experiencing problems, but it is not necessary in order to flash to a cooked rom.

After the rom has installed, as the phone is rebooting, pull the battery out, re-insert and do a hard reset. (Same for pc or sd card methods). Again, there is debate about this step, but most chefs recommend it.

To flash from the sd card, put the rom file (renamed to BLACIMG.nbh) into the root of the sd card. Put phone into bootloader mode, the device will search the card for the rom file. When found, press the power button to start the flash. After the flash the phone will reboot itself, pull the battery out, re-insert and do a hard reset.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zeka1974:
Thanks Clyde

That part of the reboot itself when making by SDcard never happened to me. When the flash is complete the screen stays for a while with the information that everything is OK but didn't reboot...I will check this later at home ;)

Once again, thanks ;)

after i flash my touch hd with olinex succesfull i have notice my cellular radio is allways off and airplane mode is enabled i have try every rom in the net and i install the original rom from htc the same my phone is unstable and crashes a lot i and i cannot use my phone i want to make it factory reset how please help despered
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That sounds like the wrong spl for the rom you are using. If you put your phone in bootloader, does it show spl 1.56.Olinex? If not then the hspl was not successful. If it does show 1.56.Olinex then you need to make sure that you flash a rom that is based on a 1.56+ rom.

If you really want to restore to factory, you will need to find your original rom and install that and then return your spl to the original spl to match the rom. You can find more info at the end of the 1st post in

HTC touch hd flashing problem

I want to flash with HTC WM6.5 Mikenificent 8.0

- I have tried with 1.56 but get a timeout (262) and my pda stays on 0%.

- Manual doesn't work either.

- Put nbh on clean SD and tried to install from here.

Flashing with orginal works ok.

Nothing works does anybody have ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, from your bootloader it looks like you already have HSPL 1.56. Make sure you have put the download .nbh file and ruu from NRGZ rom into same folder. Put device into bootloader and connect it to pc. Once 'usb' appears at bottom of bootloader run the ruu file and follow instructions. Have you followed this correctly? Is any error showing?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If 'usb' is not showing you may need to follow instruction in post#1 and update usb drivers. Also, ensure that 'allow usb connection' is turned on in activesync connection settings
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You won't be able to flash rom unless you have either USPL or HSPL on device. When you try manual SSPL does SPL change to 1.07.OliNex?

Does bottom of bootloader say usb? what is your current SPL?

Alternatively you could try USPL route instead of HSPL

One dummy question:

I've flashed my touch hd through uspl and now I want to pass to 1.17 radio. I can do it with the sd card procedure described in the forum or it is only for hspl? In alternative i should use the same procedure of uspl?...Tnx in advance for your help!!

Not Connected in Windows Mobile Device Center

Hi

I'm stuck at step HSPL2b. When I run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe it asks me if I have an Active Sync connection. I am running Vista so I have WMDC instead, but I cannot get a connection in bootloader mode.

I've updated the driver and done a hard reset, but I just can't get it to connect. 'Allow USB Connections' is checked in WMDC and the phone changes from Serial to USB when I connect the USB cable, but WMDC still shows 'Not Connected'.

If I ignore this and run the HSPL exe it stays at 0% then gives me 'Error [262]'. So I'm assuming the issue is that I don't have a connection in WMDC.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
I personally use HRDSPL and thus with this method, it's only required once.

With USPL, it's required everytime you flash, whether it's a ROM or a RADIO...

SD method of flashing should be safe with USPL as well but because I've always used HRDSPL, I'm not 100% sure.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Try no more

I have tried to use USPL but W7 refused to connect. Installed HTC-drivers for Vista 32b but W7 cann't see the usb connection. Also tried it by VM xp-windows, nothing. The PDA shows USB at the bottom. W7 does see a new device has connected but cann't continue with USPL. Have disconnect activesync for USPL so he cannot interfer with the USB driver.

I think this is a global W7 32b (and maybe 64b) problem and don't want to reinstall XP on my machine to try it out.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dusta:
not sure what i have done but i syncd the phone and then reloaded spl 1.15 for warranty purposes. then went to put on a stock rom and it failed as i accidentally knocked the usb cable out of the notebook . Tried it again and it continuallt comes up with 262 error . No matter what i try it will not go past 0% . Kinda ****ty as i need to get this in for battery issues . Is there any other way i can get this up again or would it be best to take it into a repair centre and see if they can restore a stock rom via some backdoor manufacvturer way .

i tried running the manual spl but it keeps saying its not a valid win32 application
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Not true, I use Windows 7 (32 bit) and have no problems connecting WMDC to the device. I did not use uspl though, I used hspl but that should not make a difference. I did not even need to install the drives though, I connected the device and it installed the drivers automatically and have never had one problem connecting. XP on the other hand was problematic in that I frequently had to reboot to re-establish the connection.

You are supposed to install the stock rom first and only then revert to the stock spl. So do you currently have spl 1.15 on your device? Which rom do you have?

You say you have tried to run the manual spl, you are running this directly on your phone from the sd card and not from the pc?

was just wondering, does the hspl need to be flashed only from the RUU or can it be done through sd card too?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Going from Stock SPL -> Hard SPL must be done via the RUU.

Some devices (not the HD AFAIK) can upgrade the Hard SPL version (or revert to stock SPL) via the SD card once the device has Hard SPL flashed.

Nice one, Thanks for the quick reply. :d
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dark Ninja:
Ahh, everytime i connect my device to the computer it just dont connect.. always an error sayin "USB Device not recognised".. No matter if i try to connect via active sync or disk drive option. I tried on my laptop also and same error message.. This was the reason why i reverted back to the stock rom! coz i was having the same problem with Miri's rom. But it didnt help.. Am i stuck with the stock rom now :S? Anyone know a fix to this?

Thanks in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
A few possible reasons why device is not picked up:

1. You may need to update usb drivers. Follow guide at start of thread.

2. Ensure that "allow usb connections" is turned on in ActiveSync connection settings
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dark Ninja:
Yep, both are done.. I updated my drivers before (when i had hspl on before i reverted to stock).. but when i plugged in on bootloader it didnt change from serial to USB.. so i thought id need to update them although if the USB isnt recognised i cant update the drivers.. coz theres no option to update them unless its installed and in device manager..

thanks for your help, any other ideas why ? :(

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Switch the phone off. Then hold the volume down button in and while holding, give a brief tap on the power button, but keep holding the volume down button. it should boot into the tri-colour screen. There you should see the spl version.
