Bootloader

Hi, i am having problems with switching to usb mode in bootloader. I've tried several times in many variations to connect usb cabe to my hd but no luck.

i have winXP. I did follow this thread when i was flashing my hd for the first time and everything worked like a charm. Since then i have used several different roms and themes and there has been no problem.

when i load up in bootloader what i see is:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.56.Olinex

MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6

and Serial in bottom

Any advice? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Spl 1.42 is for the HD2 and this is for the HD. You can't use 1.56.Olinex on the HD2 and I'm not even sure why you would want to as you already say you have 1.42.hspl :confused::confused::confused::eek:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Have you changed your usb drivers? You can follow the link from the first page to the guide for this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] virus_art:
What usb drivers do you mean? If you mean XP usb drivers then no, if you mean hd drivers, then i might have, since i used some driver upgrades, but those were only for graphical enhancements, so i don't think that is could change anything in usb performance. If i turn my hd on ( not in boot loader), i can connect to my pc and xp will recognize my hd.

And the post you advised is only working if the bootloader switches to usb mode. ( if that is the right post i found in 1st page)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
There is a guide

here

to update the usb drivers on your pc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] virus_art:
If you have read this post that you have got to see this

"Before you start this, put your phone into its bootloader and plug it into your computer via the USB cable. Your phone should show USB at the bottom of the bootloader screen. It is very important not to skip this!"

i can not do this, because it won't switch to usb mode.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
True, forgot that as I haven't read the thread for a while.:o

Have you tried different usb cables, different usb ports on the pc (specifically those at the rear of your pc), different computers etc?

You can also try to flash via sd card if you can't get usb to connect.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dark Ninja:
Im having the same problem for 2 days now, although mines is worst! Its says "USB not recognised" on my computer everytime i connect.. I even switched computers and same thing, even with the usb drivers isntalled.. Really annoying. I cant even connect via WMDC now :|

BTW you tried the manual way?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GermanRay:
You rock my world!!! 9 hours of frustration finally solved!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] virus_art:
Which manual way do you mean?

I switched computers too- no luck. I could install it from my micro card, but i don't want to lose 8 gigs of stuff after formating it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dark Ninja:
before, when i had hardspl (had to revert back to stock, and now cant get hspl again ^.^) i use to just do it through storage card without formatting, worked for me...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
Please help newbie, I want to flash a superlite rom to have better speed to run sbp mobile shell 3.5. I've followed steps instructed by Digital Outcast and always received error mssg: ERROR 262: UPDATE ERROR. I followed his Troubleshooting - manual SSPL but got the same mssg. What more can I do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
How did you run the manual sspl? Error 262 is fairly common when running HSPLWrapper, but I've not heard of sspl giving the same error. When you ran the sspl file from your phone's sd card, where did it show the 262 error, on the phone screen?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
I copied the manual sspl to the phone's memory, ran it, after it turned to the 3 color screen, I plugged in the usb and ran the wrapper. The screen turned to a white one with a empty bar and stood at 0%, then appeared the said message on the computer screen, not on the phone. More suggestion appreciated. Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Ok, after running sspl and the phone booted up to the 3 colour screen (bootloader) did it show the spl version as 1.07.hspl? Then when you plugged the usb cable in did the bottom part of the screen change from displaying "serial" to "usb"?

After getting the error 262 again, what state is the phone in, ie can it still boot up or is it stuck in bootloader mode?

Have you tried just running the HSPLWrapper a few times to see if it works (eventually).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marvi0:
help please
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
oK, so at present you have SPL-14.Olinex, correct? and you have successfully flashed Original HTC 1.14 rom?

(3) states to Run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe from the HardSPL download in (1b). You only open this and don't run it right through as per (3a)

What you need to do once you've open/run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe is Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Restore Stock SPL 1.14.2 download in (1c) and place this into the folder where HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe is and replace existing RUU_Signed.nbh file then continue to run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe

EDIT

Once this has completed, enter bootloader which should state SPL v 1.14.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marvi0:
thanks

i think i undarstand that wil give it a shot in 30mins and give feedback thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marvi0:
phew

still strugling, when i click on this file, Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex, which i have downloaded, i am then presented with this file HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, which i believe i am not supposed to run till i have (3b) Extract the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Restore Stock SPL 1.14.2 download in step (1c). now after extracting the SPL, AND TRYING TO COPY IT INTO THE HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, I DONT GET THE OPTION TO ACTUALLY PASTE THE SPL, INTO THAT FOLDER. RATHER I AM PRESENTED WITH AN OPTION, TO EXTRACT, ALL FILES IN HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, WHICH IF I DO, IAM PRESENTED WITH ANOTHER FILE, HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone, AND THIS TIME, IF I COPY THE SPL INTO THIS FILE WITH HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone, IT ONLY COPIES IT JUST BELOW IT WITHOUT GIVING ME THE OPTION TO OVERWRITE OR CHANGE ANY FILE, AND CLICKING THE HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone, WILL THEN OPEN THE UPDATE UTILITY BUT IT STILL SHOWS THAT IT WILL ONY UPDATE MY ROM TO SPL-14.OLINEX, WHICH IS THE PRESENT HARDSPL I HAVE SO AM BASICALLY STUCK BUT AM WILLING TO LISTEN, AND I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE MINOR PART AM MISSING SO THE QUEST CONTINUES HELP STILL VERY MUCH NEEDED
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, I think I know where you problem lies.

Put HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone into a new folder and double click on it. You will now be presented with a grey screen. Tick the 'I understand bla bla bla' box and click next. In the folder you have created (i.e. the folder which HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone .exe is in) you will notice a lot of other files have been extracted including a file called RUU_Signed.nbh

Then you extract the RUU_Signed.nbh from the Restore Stock SPL 1.14.2 download in (1c) and place this into the folder where HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe is and replace the existing RUU_Signed.nbh file then continue to run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe process

Then enter bootloader which should state SPL v 1.14.0000

Hey guys, I'm stuck when I just flashed HSPL 1.14.

Here is my problem:

When I go into bootloader mode after flashing HSPL 1.14, it first shows my tri-color bootloader screen, which says "1.140000" (so I do have the correct version of HSPL), but then I see a grey screen with a blue text in the top saying "Loading..." and it doesn't stop loading ...

It would be greatly appreciated if any of you told me what I am doing wrong :o.... I'm on WinXP btw.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chris Cross:
Just want to say thanks again for your time in putting those instructions together. They made flashing the new ROM a lot easier. Everything worked out fine. I just went from Dutty's v2.1 to v2.9 without any problems. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Your information is a little conflicting... If your bootloader shows SPL 1.14.0000 that means you do not have HSPL loaded. If you had HSPL loaded it would show SPL 1.07.OliNex.

What rom are you trying to load now that your screen shows SPL 1.14.0000?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] musadikh:
Hi

Little Confused..........sorry 2 many steps ....can u plz guide me

In bootloader mode it shows me-

BLAC100 32M

SPL- 1.14.OliNex

MicroP-Blackstne (Led) V6

I am using MIRI 8.0 Premium ROM

Please help me ...from where to start.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] andy2111:
Thanks

Just like to say many thanks for putting this guide together. I've just managed to go through the whole process and now have Dutty's 2.9 on my HD.

I had a few issues along the way, but I managed to figure them out. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
In the guide it says: "1.07.OliNex or 1.14.OliNex - go to step (1)". You need to follow these steps to replace the stock rom and SPL, then flash a new HTC 1.56 rom and then whatever cooked 1.56 rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Great to hear!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] musadikh:
Thnkx

Let me begin with step 1......
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rainbowsong2000:
Hello Crakhore,

Thanks a lot for the guide. Please help I am struck at below stage. I have followed all the instruction. and now i am strucked at this stage. My boot loader says spl v 1.15 but now do i need to go step 6 ? which is again telling to execute the uspl 2.5 or just to install the cooked rom.. I have installed the cooked rom duttys 2.9 but the screen is greenish.... please help.... :(

(5e) Your phone should reboot and return to the bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone. Once this is ready go to step (6).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
There is a big difference between SPL 1.15.0000 and 1.15.USPL. 1.15.0000 is a factory HTC SPL version whereas 1.15.USPL is a temporary memory-resident "hacked" one so you can load unsigned roms. You have skipped an important step. You need to go back to step (5) of the guide where it tells you to "Flash new HTC 1.56 rom". This will increase your SPL to 1.54.0000 which will fix the green screen issues. Once you have that loaded continue on through the guide to load a custom rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rainbowsong2000:
Well thats a quick reply mate thanks a lot. Actually I have followed every step and installed new htc 1.56 rom then uspl 2.5 and it rebooted immdiately shows the boot loader as spl 1.15 uspl.

then i installed the dutty;s rom and rebooted. Now i saw the greenish color and checked again the boot loader it says 1.14 olinex. then i tried to use the dutty's rom it was greenish but once i switch off and on the "screen" it was in perfect colour however now the big problem is my phone is not recognizing the SIM card its not showing any signal in the tower and not showing any error in the sim and when i checked the communication setting my phone was in off state when i try to switch on its not switching on.... my screen color is ok now but the boot loader in 1.14 olinex.... what to do now.... :( i am ok to go to 1.19 version also... please help can i go ahead install the 1.19 version any cooked rom i prefer duttys 2.6 xtreme... please let me know if u need more info

thanks a lot
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
It showed 1.07.OliNex XA (not 1.07.hspl). Yes it changed from Serial to USB after I plugged the usb cable.

After the problem. I just followed the Recovery steps, removed the battery and the phone booted as normal.

Yes, I runned it several times and same problem persisted.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Very odd, I guess there's a first time for everything. Never heard this before though.

Ok next plan, can you try to reverse the whole thing and try to flash back to your original rom that came with the device, let the rom install and run the setup and then try the whole hspl or sspl thing again from the beginning. I'm sorry but not sure what else to suggest.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
Thanks for being patient with me. Actually the phone is running on its original rom. I could never flash anything to it. I also hard reset the device to its original software with touchflo to see what happened, but still I met the same error message. Should I try another way of flashing, like USPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No problem, I'm just as flummoxed as you on this one. You appear to be doing everything right, but it just doesn't seem to want to work.

One last thing and then you may have to try uspl. When you run HSPLWrapper try to right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator, just to see if that makes any difference and for extra good measure try turning your AV off - shouldn't make a difference but lets try all possible obstacles. Talking of AV, you didn't perhaps get any virus alerts when you downloaded the hsplwrapper file? The hsplwrapper should fail to even run if the "virus" has been quarantined but could be another variable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] moforlyf:
My device says Olinex SPL although i cant seem to install any cooked roms :S it just stays on "loading" when i try through sd card?

Could you help me?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Which version spl, 1.56.Olinex? Which rom/s are you trying to install?

Do you pick up the image file when the device goes into bootloader mode and the hangs when you press power button?

Have you tried flashing via usb?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
I tried to close all antivirus and antispyware, ran the file as administrator, but no help at all. Now I think that the possible cause is that I am running Windows7 Ultimate. I am reinstalling my 2nd machine to WindowsXP to see if it works.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] moforlyf:
I currently have miris rom installed, before this was the first time i installed hardspl 1.56. Now i am trying to flash energy rom but it just doesnt go past "loading". it jsut stays there.. normally it would say loading, then checking then the update bit.. but this hangs at loading. i tried through usb but it doesnt detect my usb.. ive got the drivers installed btw.

Also for some reason you know hwo you can do ahard reset by pressing down vol up and down + power, that doesnt happen it just goes to bootloader :S
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
I am so frustrated with this work, friend. I reinstalled windows xp on my 2nd computer, installed net framework 3.5, activesync and ran the flashing again, but I had the same error message after several tries. Does my phone have some problem? Or it is locked for some reason? Anyway, my rom version is 1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE, hoping it helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, I use W7 Ultimate and no issues.

Who is your operator? Can you take another sim and insert it to your device?

Looks like it's time to try uspl. If still nothing it could be a problem with the phone sorry to say.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kdu:
Well ClydeB1, I've finally succeeded in the work. After reading again the instruction, I updated usb driver, and ran the flashing work again. After 2 times it worked. Thanks ClydeB1 for your enthusiasm.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It's a pleasure m8. Glad it finally worked.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zimzim BK:

when i start the whole thing when in bootloader mode and in pc, it tells me that i havent connected the UBS cable into the cellphone and the pc... help?:mad:

Have you tried installing the usb drivers - link is in the first thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Flashing with SD Card

Okey here goes.:rolleyes:

My problem is that my usb connection is gone so i can´t get in uspl mode

to flash from the Sd Card and go back to my stock rom.

I need to send in the phone for service.

And to update the USB drivers i need to see the HTC USB in the device manager, and i can´t so i´m stuck there i think:confused:

Is there any way to enable the uspl without usb connection:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, you need usb connection to put either USPL or HSPL on device first. What happens when you connect device to pc using usb. Does the light on your HD come on? If so, all is not lost

You can still flash original stock rom to your device without using either USPL or HSPL. Just connect device to pc using usb, put device into bootloader and run ruu for rom. (you do not need to get usb in bootloader either....but this only works for original stock rom which came with your device)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Flashing

Well the light comes on and it charges. but that´s it.:rolleyes:

Well tryed your way and that did not work.

I dont get eny connection with the usb in bootloader.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Are you sure you tried flashing original stock rom, i.e. rom which came with your device
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Stock roms.

do you know where i can find stock roms?

I´ve searched but no luck.:confused: I´m not sure i got the stock rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
In the wiki - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Thx

Got the rom now.

When i start it in bootloader the screen turns white and it says Loading... For how long should it load "normaly"?:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It should start loading and the % will run from 0% through to 100%. This takes about 10 minutes. It should timeout and give an error message if it is not working.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Hmmm...

Well it´s ha s said loading for 50 min now so something must be wrong.

sd card is a Kingston 2gb. and formated it to fat32 the spl is 1.54.:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Are you using hspl or uspl? If you tried hspl, then this must have failed as the spl should change to 1.56.olinex. If you are using uspl, the the spl of 1.54.0000 should be correct. Have you tried flashing via usb or using a different sd card?

Sorry, I've never used uspl so can't be of much help on that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
well i give up.

i cant get the usb label to come up when i am in bootloader so i guess im F..... anyway. it´s going in the trash.:(

To load the uspl i need the usb connection, and i think that i broken on this phone.

my kind of luck as all ways.:cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Have you updated the usb drivers? There is a link on the first page to a Guide on how to do this?

Edit: This will explain why the rom isn't loading though, it won't if you don't run uspl. It would be different if you had hspl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
well...

To update the drivers i need to see the usb connection in the device manager, and cant see it.

i might be wrong...:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
True, I keep forgetting that. Have you tried different usb ports, cables, a different pc etc to see if the usb port still works?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madness74:
Ýup.

Tried all my pc´s same result.:(

Well may be i need to drop it in the toilet and check if im insured. :rolleyes:
