Hi i am a nooby both in terms of windows mobiles and flashing

i have downloaded all the attached files and tried following the steps however am stuck:

first i have decided on carrying out a HSPL so i disabled my firewall and ran the bLACKSTONE RUUU ROM UPDATE UTILITY

how ever whilest following the steps it keeps coming up with an ERROR (202): CONNECTION

says check the pda phone is connected to usb cradle

the usb cradle is connected to the pc

i have done both the above and even ran the windows mobile device center on which it still states the phone is connected?

what do i need to do form here any suggestions ?

do bear in mind i am running it on a windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANYONE TAKING THE TIME OUT TO REPLY
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Read the announcements at the top of each forum ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ERROR [202, 204] : CONNECTION

This error message will appear when the device is not connected to ActiveSync correctly. Make sure you properly connect the device to the PC through ActiveSync before running RUU. If the problem persists try removing and re-installing ActiveSync. Also ensure that "allow usb connections" has been enabled in activesync connection settings
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
"allow usb connections" is a menu point that should be toggled as stated below:

if you start flashing in bootloader mode, before even opening the ruu, you should untick it, if you start in normal mode, you should tick it. you cannot generally say to enable usb connections, because often, that blocks the connection and causes this error. the windows xp netbook i use for flashing (only and not for syncing) my devices has it permanently unticked, and i never had connection problems. the problem in this case is, that for flashing with windows 7, you need to install a special driver, in case of the x64 version, it is even a little more complicated, because the driver is not digitally signed.

if you have not installed the driver before started flashing, windows 7 will attempt to download new drivers for the blackstone in bootloader mode, which causes the connection to abort, and gives you that error message. in case you are unable to install the proper driver, try and flash uspl or hspl from an xp machine and flash further roms using the sd card method. gives you much less trouble.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OneDream:
Thanks mate.

I guess I'll just repost what I asked yesterday. ;)

I'm new to this flashing stuff, so please bear with me here. I was wondering whether there are any "official" ROMs as opposed to these custom ROMs shared here on the forum. I'd like to upgrade my phone to a WM 6.5 system. I believe my phone currently uses the 1.56.404.1 ROM dated back to somewhere in July 2009. I understand that opinions differ from one another, but I'd appreciate it if people around here could lend me hand. What ROM(s) would you recommend to get an improved and faster working phone, while still having a proper working GPS(this is a must, not sure if ROMs have any influence).

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
All the official roms are in the wiki mate ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OneDream:
Thanks for the reply, mate.

I'm guessing that these official ROMs aren't on WM 6.5? After reading that wiki, I came to the conclusion that I already have the latest official ROM available. So, that means I'd have to go with a custom ROM. Any recommendations (while keeping the working GPS and improving the phone's "speed")?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Isn't really the right place to be asking for suggestions as this thread is for flashing issues only. As for which is best, that's a matter of personal opinion. You can usually tell which rom's people are using by their signatures ;)

Turn off device

Wait a couple seconds

Hold (and continue to 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).

In most instances if you run the ruuwrapper.exe it should force device into bootloader for you

is it a must to turn off the phone when flashing the rom ? from step 2 to step 3 for HSPL, do i need to plug off the usb cable out ?

You don't need to turn off device, just put it into bootloader. Simplest way to do so is to turn device off then on whilst holding down volume down button
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kaherdin:
Try this

"Hold (and continue to hold) the volume down button while you press the power on button." Press the power button

Indeed as biqu stated above you may need to update your usb drivers but what I'd try first is going to connection settings in activesync and enabling "allow usb connections". If this is already enabled then try updating your drivers by following this guide

Colour mismatch

Hi all!

My Blackstone goes crazy. I have install Energy ROM (Energy.BLACKSTONE.23148.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Nov.19, using Olinex 1.56) and use it for some time and everything was great. One day Blackstone change colours, especialy white change into violet. I mean, its a software problem, because sometimes it can display white (forinstance when fleshing), but normaly not. I have try flashing, instaling Olinex 1.14 (white is blue) then 1.56 - no changes. Can anybody help please?!

Trying going back to Stock and then 1.56 and Energy - nothing.

I got the same problem as you too. I updated the USB drivers and didn't work.

I'm now win7 64bit.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] beteron:
Sorry I need to reconfirm this solution.

1. Allow USB connections is now on

2. When it freezes at 0%, I do a soft reset.

3. When reboots, load into bootloader.

4. Run RUU again, or will the bootloader automatically continue the process?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
1. Device connected via usb

2. Put device into bootloader (bottom of bootloader should change from "serial" to "usb".....if this doesn't then usb drivers aren't correct

3. run ruu

4. If it freezes at 0% and youi get error 262

5. Reboot device and go straight into bootloader

6. run ruu again

If this still doesn't work, try again. I've known a few people who had to try this maybe 5-6 times before it worked

Let us know if this still doesn't work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] raddar:
I try 10 times in a row and still dont work. Will try again tomorow.

Hello i've changed my HTC Tattoo with HTC TOUCH HD.

And i have some questions.

I want to install custom rom to my htc , so first thing i have to do is to flash my device with HSPL or USPL 1.56+ and then i can install MaxSense rom for example. , am i correct ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes mate, you'll need either USPL or HSPL on your device first before you can install any custom rom. Just follow this guide and you'll be grand ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hwarang:

But there is so much latency with this rom MAX Sense , so sad :( . I must install some ROM which works great with no lag , can you tell me such ROM ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Ah, you changed your post before I had time to respond

You have 2 ways to hard reset device. Either by using vol up & vol down or by letting device boot up fully, then go to start > settings > system > clear storage and restore factory settings. This is just the same as doing a hard reset.

As for your new query, each user has different opinions on which roms are best for different things which is why we generally frown upon requests like this.

Personally I would try either a kwbr or NRG rom (different version to Max sense)

If you flash a rom it is like a hard reset. You lose all data on your device. This is why you backup your device first. Plenty of software to backup your device, i.e. SPB Backup, Sprite, Resco Backup, Sashimi etc etc

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
This isn't your actually rom mate. You'll need to go to settings > device > info IIRC. Check what build you are on. Should be 26xxx, 24xxx, 23xxx etc. Then check NRG thread to see what is latest
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] meuer:
ok.. heres wots there

os verion = 5.2.28244 (28244.5.3.10)

Manila version = 2.5.20191914.0

rom version = 13.nov.2010 wwe

radio version = 1.13.25.24

Is this the latest ROM? if is is not the latest, do i have to flash with a new rom 7 if so will it also update the radio version too?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Well there you go. Rom on your device was created on 13th November....in rom terms, that's ancient

WP7 is not available for the HD. To get the latest rom, most likely wm6.5 (for example NRG's latest) you'll need to flash his latest rom. You can download it from his thread. Flashing a rom will only upgrade radio if the radio is included in rom. A lot of cooks don't include radio's in their roms so you'll have to check his thread. Alternatively download latest radio (1.17) from radio thread (sticky near top of forum) and flash like a rom. Flashing radio's does not wipe data like flashing roms. Before flashing a rom backup first as flashing roms wipes data like a hard reset

Hope this helps
