My ROM Version

My ROM version is 1.21.841.1

ROM date is 01/06/09

Radio version is 1.10.25.25

Protocol version is 52.57.25.30U

Its WM6.1 Can I do the same procedure
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afn691:
Yes, but...

Put your device in BootLoaderMode (colours screen) and you'll read the SPL version you have. Then, set it off, and boot again in normal mode...

Search where in the tutorial you must go (if you have OliNex SPL or not, etc.)

Try to mentally follow STEP BY STEP the instructions, to be sure you can do it. Do not do the flash till you'll have all the files you need, all the battery level recommended, and the OS recommended, or have solved questions about different OS's or alternative files.

Finally, get a quiet, not-disturbed moment, and follow step by step all the process.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] murtuza.1:
I dont have an olinex Spl

Can i do the same
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afn691:
Then, this " Anything but 1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL1) on post 2 " is for you. Follow all the steps there... and good luck.

I suggest you to use a Windows XP 32 bits or the most similar AND having the Original ROM if some of the first steps goes wrong.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chan.sk:
I find that for the first-time flashing process, it will be good to print out the whole set of instructions and use it as a checklist.

It will be quite a challenge to refer to the computer screen while following the steps and also executing the process on the same computer.

Flip-flopping between screens can make a guy go crazy at times, so it will be more calm and peaceful flashing if you refer to the steps from a sheet of paper and at the same time, execute the process on the computer . . .

Hope this helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cellterrorist_07:
im confuse with this step--------(USPL5d) If the rom you downloaded from step (USPL1d) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (USPL1e). Make sure the .nbh file from step (USPL1d) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.

.nbh (RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip) is the rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
What the steps are saying is you need to have both the .nbh file and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe file on your device in the same folder for the flash process to work

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
you need to follow cRaCkWhOrE's guide in my signature

Your problem is that you need to flash Original HTC 1.14 rom and then use HardSPL by OliNex & USPL V2.5 to restore Stock SPL 1.14.2. Then use USPL before flashing Original HTC 1.56 rom. Then again use USPL before flashing Duttys romas V2.7+

If you follow the guide you should be all right.

Reason why you are getting green screen is that you still have HSPL before upgarding to 1.56 based rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] laurentvdk:
Yes, that's what I mean. I see that you went through a lot of troubles also. Maybe I have to try with the antivirus disabled.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] this_mike:
It's not been a fun session, for sure. I think the error 10 connection thing relates to a comms problem with the phone as I get prompted to report problems to MS after I reboot it.

It seems that I can run USPL if (having failthfully followed the dummies guide to forcing USB driver update) I reboot, F8 and disable driver signing enforcement. I need to get WMDC connected to the phone, then disconnect the cable, get the phone into bootloader, disable USB connections in WMDC and reconnect. At that point I can run blac_uspl.exe without problems but cannot do anything afterwards. I'd love some suggestions if anyone has any!

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bennydemuller:
Hi,

big thx for the dummies guide in advance :)

everything worked fine so far except my nerves are killing me lol

now I'm stuck at the final step, the simplest thing infact, flashing with dutty's rom lol

but i cannot remember how to do so...

my phone is synced in the bootload menu saying spl 1.54.0000 so everything is fine but i dunno what to do with this file extracted of dutty's rom

Ruu_Signed_Dutty's_HD_V3_XT_5.2.21042.1.6.1.MSVC.Ship.nbh

i'm kind of embarassed to ask how the final step works but that's how it is lol

If somebody kindly would help me, u also can curse/ shout at me i don't care as long i can finish the fiiiinal step of your guide....

Thx in advance and greetings from Luxembourg,

BennydeMuller
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Hey buddy... I used to live right off the border from Vianden in a small German town ;) Went there many times for drinks!

Anyhow all you need to do is run USPL and then flash Dutty's rom (run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe from his extracted download) and you are home free!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bennydemuller:
wow the world is so small lol well that's a lovely spot to live ( I hope u also visited the castle in Vianden) ;)

But back to topic lol am I a total dumb or how does it come I don't see that customruu.exe in the extracted file??

Seriously, i got braindamaged by your dummies guide, no not because of the guide but because the trouble I underwent (proud Vista user etc lol)

And right now joy and frustration are so close to each other :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayph1970:
Al ittle bit of knowledge is always dangerous.....

Crack

You are a demon, if only I had read your guide thoroughly instead of remebering stuff one of the IT boys showed me years ago and thinking I could shortcut your dummies guide (only one dummy here, yours truly).

I have now successfully upgraded to 1.54, not sure whether to now upgrade to Dutty's ROM....What's the difference ??? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Oh man, you have got to try it out... it's way faster and bug free. You can always flash back to the stock one anyway ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Oh yes visited the castle numerous times!

When you downloaded Dutty's rom it should have been a .rar file right? After you extracted it you should see several files such as in the screenshot. You want to execute the file that is highlighted in the screenshot (BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe). If you do not see that file it is possible your antivirus program removed it. If so, disable it temporarily and extract it again.

Oh, and make sure that you have already run USPL and that is all ready to go before you run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bennydemuller:
interesting, that file is missing AND my antivirus program also, because I don't have an antivirus program lol

hm that's kind of strange?

and duttythroy is down at the moment I'm such a lucky bastard... :(

is there another link or smb who could upload/send it for/to me :confused:

it makes me mad so close but still so far away of having a nice flashed device :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayph1970:
Took your advice (and great steps). What will I see to confirm that it has all worked ??:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
The rom itself looks pretty much stock except for the taskbar icons. What you will notice is that the rom is smoother, insanely faster and virtually bug free. You will be able to tell you are running his rom when you get the customization screen upon first boot after flash ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bennydemuller:
Hi it just seems dutty had forgotten to upload it in his folder with msvc, I downloaded now the version without any vc and there it's in it...

Can't wait to finally flash :D

Thx, for your nerves and come soon back to Luxembourg :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayph1970:
All working and looking GREAT, glad I took the plunge :cool:

Thanks for all your help....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I put the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe in a zip file on mediafire. Extract it and run it. Make sure the .nbh file is in the same directory.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Haha go figure... If you want just download the file I posted on mediafire it will take less time than the whole download from Dutty ;)

I would love to come back... haven't been back to Europe in almost 10 years now and I miss it gravely.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwitha:
Hiya all,

This is my first time ROM flashing so please bare with me....

I'm stuck on step 3d. When I try to run 'HardSPLwrapper..." (with the RUU_signed file replaced) it simply creates an "error 260" about not connecting.

BOOTLOADER currently shows SPL-1.14.0000

I'll admit to a mistake: when I first installed the Vista drivers, the phone was not in bootloader mode. I have tried installing them again with the phone in bootloader mode, however Windows says that the device could not start. Currently its shown in Device Manager as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". The bootloader screen DOES change to USB from serial when it connects to the PC.

So I'm kinda stuck now :( I'd really appreciate any help, because I'm really excited about getting a fresh looking Touch HD!!

Thank you!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cuprasa:
Thanks for the awesome thread.

I have one question. What happens if my SPL version is 2.03.0000? I just cant get it to load the Original HTC 1.14 rom OR Original HTC 1.56 rom. It keeps coming up with a invalid vendor ID error. Oh and when I run USPL it says "Current SPL version is not supported". Please help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] this_mike:
Still stuck - help please?

Apologies if this is a really dumb question, but I'm stuck. I've followed your excellent guide through removing Olinex's HSPL, installing 1.14 and 1.56 roms and (after some problems) running USPL but running BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe does nothing for me...

The bootloader screen shows "SPL-1.15.USPL" but I'm unable to run the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe without getting "Error [264]: Connection". Am I missing something? Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable makes no odds, rebooting the phone, establishing a USB connection and trying 'properly' also doesn't work. I'm not able to pass the exe or nbh filenames to blac_uspl.exe as arguments - I'm embarrased to say I'm stuck - any help appreciated!

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cuprasa:
Never mind... I was using the wrong files!!! All is good now
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zilviukas:
Thanks for a great tutorial. Followed all the steps and managed to install the latest Dutty 3. I had Dutty 2.4 before.

Installation procedure was easy because of really clear instructions. I would highly recommend to start installation from step number (7), it worked out really well for me :)

Well done with this tutorial!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What phone do you have have? I have not seen this SPL version...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mike.waters:
Hi this-mike,

it seems really difficult to get the correct drivers loaded. Are you under Vista or XP?

I flashed a 1.56 ROM on Vista using USPL. Biggest problem was getting 1.15 to show up, but then it would not connect! Ended up disconnecting and reconnecting with and without RUU running. Eventually it connected and ran (but don't reset the PPC, or it will revert to 1.14 again). I don't really know how or why this messing about solved the driver issue - but it did... good luck with it. The 1.56 and Dutty ROMS are worth the effort.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] NikPraskaton:
Thanks for the tut!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] da_enlightener:
hey everyone

i followed the dummies guide and everything worked fine...right up until the part where i try to install dutty's latest rom (HD v3). each time i try to flash the device (either through the sd card, or through the usb connection) the progress bar gets stuck at 0% and the device just says "loading..."

through the pc i keep getting error 260: connection

through the sd card it just gets stuck on the "loading..." screen

any ideas??

Offical ROM's flash & flashback with SD-CARD

@cRaCKwHoRe

I tried flashing Org. ROM_NL 1.56 and flashback to Org. ROM 1.14_NL with SD-Card. Works great, without any troubles!

So far as i can see now, the new Org. ROM_NL 1.56 has not much minor improvements, but a lot of powerconsumption:mad:

Do you know why we can't flash USPL or HSPL with SD-Card?

Would be a reliable method for everyone I think!

With regards!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you have successfully used USPL and then flashed 1.56 rom, you will still need to use USPL before you can flash Duttys rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
This is by design. USPL is not flashed to begin with, it is a Windows application that overloads your phone's bootloader temporarily.

As far as flashing HSPL from the SD card - you cannot flash SPL's through the SD card flashing process, only through the Rom Update Utility (RUU). This is just how the phone works.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As cRaCKwHoRe stated this is impossible to flash HSPL or USPL from SD card. You phone must be in bootloader mode. And then commands are sent to the bootloader by the exe. There is no way for the phone to be in bootloader mode and send commands to it's self.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
me too, 100% same as your case, any solution for this ? (the same idea is how to follow step 6 & 6a )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Are you both using Vista? You will need to update drivers as per point (0) in guide

What does it say in bootloader? 1.54.0000? You also need to flash USPL before trying to flash to Duttys rom

USPL isn't permanent like HSPL, you need to reuse it everytime you want to flash a new rom or radio
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Oops, it's my mistake, i renamed Ruu_Signed_Dutty's_HD_V3_XT_5.2.21042.1.6.1.Ship.nbh to Ruu_Signed as usual, :mad: !

I did try 2 ways, both of them failed, :D :

1. rename Ruu_Signed_Dutty's_HD_V3_XT_5.2.21042.1.6.1.Ship.nbh to Ruu_Signed to Ruu_Signed.nbh and run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe (USPL still active why doing that ) => wrong file name

2. rename Ruu_Signed_Dutty's_HD_V3_XT_5.2.21042.1.6.1.Ship.nbh to BLACIMG.NBH, and put HD into bootloader mode => USPL not available at that moment as Fallen Spartan said, USPL not permanent, i dont use vista

Now it works, thanks cRaCKwHoRe for your good tip, and thanks Fallen Spartan for your reply (even i did make it work right before your post :) )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mosaiques:
Hi there!

I am new here and I am trying to flash my Touch HD with one of the new ROM from this board.

I've make a lot of search but still I can not install the Drivers for Vista x64. I've tried to do the flash with my old XP machine and no luck at all.

I get all the time after running the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe the same error message: Connection error [202]

Please, can somebody help me to do the the flash right?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, so you have read and followed cRaCKwHoRe's guide from start to finish, even on XP

Go to bootloader (tri-colour screen by turning off device, then powering on whilst holding vol down) and tell me what it says (SPL 1.14.0000 or 1.54.0000 etc) so I can see what stage your at
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mosaiques:
Thank you Fallen Spartan for taking care of my problem.

It says: SLP-1.14.0000

Edit: Sorry, the error I get is: ERROR [262]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, so you have restored stock HTC rom.

What you need now is USPL. Run USPL V2.5 and then flash 1.56 rom. Once completed flashing, go back to bootloader and it should now say SPL 1.54.0000. Again run USPL and then flash Duttys rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mosaiques:
Ok, after running USPL V2.5, do I have to reboot the Phone or do the flashing directly after?

Edit: Never mind Fallen Spartan, It's flashing now to the 1.56... I will report if I can get the other ROMs.

Thanks!

Edit 2: Thanks Fallen Spartan... it worked flawlessly!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] da_enlightener:
thank you

i finally got it working...i didn't realise that uspl wasn't permanent...i had to run blac_uspl.exe once again and then flash

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] laurentvdk:
Hi Crackwhore,

I finally managed to flash the 1.56 ROM. The error I mentioned before didn't occur after reboot and switching of the anti-virus.

I installed now the dutch 1.56 ROM. I understand that Dutty's ROM v3 is very worthwile, but it is in English I presume?

What extra advantages does it offer? I spoose there isn't a dutch version of it?

Grtz and many thanx for your tutorial.

L.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Awesome! Glad you got it running :)

Yes it is worthwhile and yes, it is in English. I've seen people install language packs on them but don't know much about this.

Dutty incorporates the best features from the old and new roms into one rom, fixes many Microsoft and HTC bugs, as well as making the rom way faster.

I'm glad you found it useful and I am always happy to help!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] laurentvdk:
OK. So I'll flash Dutty's ROM later this evening. With yout tutorial I'll always could flash back to original ROM.

Thanx. I'll let you know what I think about it..

Thanks again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] holmerv:
I faced the same problem as Multani004 and followed the procedure of cRaCKwHoRe.

An update was not possible because the last version of drivers was allready installed, so I cancelled the update.

After that I tried to launch black_uspl again and.... it was working!

So cRaCKwHoRe, thanks for the solution although an install was not really necessary.

Now I am facing a new problem. The green, distorted screen and so on, so work to be done.

Regards, Holmer
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you are getting the green screen problem, then USPL was not successfully loaded

you'll need to revert back to stock 1.14 HTC rom and follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide again

If USPL is successfully installed you should have SPL 1.14 USPL in bootloader before installation of 1.56 rom

EDIT

Besides cRaCKwHoRe's guide there is a wiki section on the green screen problem as well as a green screen thread

[SOLVED] Bricked

Ok,

thought I would write a few lines to those, such as myself struck panic when it seemed the phone was bricked halfway.

After restoring the HD to stock (ROM&SPL, Steps 2&3) the HD restarted in bootloader and displayed "ROM Upgrade Error". Seemed like there was no way out, I could neither reflash the ROM, nor reflash HardSpl. Either it stopped at 0%, or at 1%. NOTHING WORKED!!!! PANIC!!!!

I found some hints here suggesting to use USPL to flash to the new HTC Original 1.56 ROM. OK, downloaded USPL and started it. USPL couldn't open the USB Ports. MORE PANIC!!!

Finaly got that straightened out, but then it still wouldn't work on my Vista-PC!!!! EVEN MORE PANIC!!!

Fortunately I'm not the only one faced with this prob. Found the updated drivers (which of course wouldn't install), but finaly got them installed by FORCING them manually.

Started USPL again and guess what: it worked as it should (Restarted the HD, Bootloader showed USPL). FIRST HOPE!!! Started installing the HTC 1.56 ROM and guess what: it worked! HOPEFULL ANTICIPATION!!!

Just to catch my breath I actually started the HD with this ROM to see if it war actually working. And guess what: it worked! RELIEF!!!!

Ok, so now I just got through flashing DUTTY's 3.0 and guess what: even that works! ENTHUSIASM!!!

So guys, DO NOT GIVE UP! PERSEVERE!!

Thx to all the XDA's for their tipps and experiences. You saved my day/week/Life!
