You have now posted this in 3 separate threads (1 of them new!!!) I answered your query in both of threads here and now you have posted here which I see ClydeB1 answered. If you do this again I will be forced to ban you for 3-7 days. Read and abide by the forum rules!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marne Jr:
If you look carefully you will see that you just paste a general solution that didn't worked for me ...

My problem still here !!!

I made direct questions but had never got any direct answer ...

But I understand that there are rules ....

I will ban myself as a fair punishment and look any other place for answer ... don't be worry and sorry again !!!

Thank's for trying help me !!!

Bye.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marne Jr:
Hi man !!!

Please don't stop help me ...

My SPL is stock 1.14 ... and with USPL GUI2.5 I putted MIRI 21882 inside it ...

Now I have Miri 21882 and SPL from bootloader = 1.14 ...

The radio I want to put in is that old 1.09 that make my battery usefull for 4 days ...

What is "change the rilphone" ?

May I flash the radio before first use of the new rom (just after the hard reset) or after the new rom is complete installed after that installation of the windows after first use ?

I though rilphone was a part of radio for people that justed wanted to flash a part ... I thought if I flash the entire radio then no need to flash the rilphone part ...

Waiting more help and thanks a lot for your attention !!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
And if you look carefully you will see I asked you some questions to try to get to the bottom of your problem. We will always start with the generic simple answer (because most users don't search or read, so in 90% of the cases, the generic answer is all that is needed) and only if that doesn't work then we dig deeper to try to resolve the issue.

Your initial question was asking for a Guide on how to flash a radio and if you needed to use uspl or hspl. I copied from the wiki which clearly said you do need to use uspl or hspl but you still decided to flash using the stock spl and then you come asking for help because your screen is green and get "miffed" because Fallen Spartan asked you to just take the time to read the solutions given to you instead of posting the same questions all over the forum.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I won't stop helping so don't worry, but please take the time to read the suggestions offered.

The problem is you have the wrong spl. If you used uspl (and used it properly) you should have updated your spl to 1.54.0000 before flashing your rom, hence the green screen problem. Follow the steps in the beginning of this thread for

uspl

and you will come right. ;)

You can find more information about the rilphone here, but it should generally be matched to the radio version you are using.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
i think Marne needs like a step by step tutorial that is less complicated than the wiki.

I'll try if my step by step will be clear enough for him:

YOUR DOWNLOADED RADIO 1.09 when you unzipped this,

did you see an RUU_signed.nbh and ROMUpdateUtility.exe? if yes, read on.

1. rename the RUU_signed nbh file to BLACIMG_nbh - (this is the actual radio file)

2. get a separate microsd card, (small capacity would be better)

3. using you windows pc, format the microsd card fat 32 full format

4. place theBLACIMG_nbh file in the sd card and ROMUpdateUtility.exe

5. bootloader, wait for "usb " at the bottom

6. put the micro sdcard in your device

7. connect to pc via USB

8. run USPL GUI 2.5 then follow instructions on screen.

once it has gone right to the very end when it says update success

9. disconnect from computer

10 remove battery, put back battery

11. HR

you're done!

i know there are other similar ways, but this is how I flash nbh files (ROM or Radio). I hope this is clear enough for Marne
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Marne Jr:
Hehehe ...

Thank's a lot man ...

I understand it ... My mistake was that I used stock shipped.exe rom first (before custom rom from Miri) and I chose the 1.14 version instead 1.56 one ... than I got spl 1.14 instead of 1.54 and after I flashed Miri Rom through USLP GUI 2.5 and did 3 hard resets ... than without let it started I flashed the radio ... I didn't give my blackstone time to first use before flash radio and the I thought that was the radio that was making my screen green... and was not that it will go green anyway because I used GUI 2.5 over SPL 1.14 ...

But now I am having another problem ...

After install Miri 21882 rom with GUI2.5 and beem on SPL 1.54 I went to my card and executed that Rilphone BS_Rilphone_1_09_25_23.cab and then I turned off Blackstone and flashed HD_Blackstone_Radio_1.09.25.14.nbh (after changed it name to BLACIMG) and my HD don't start any more... I t shows radio version ok (that red letters and numbers that appear before start) but stops at that point and starts vibrate continuosly and infinitily ... than I toke off my battery and did a Hard Reset that erased that cab (Rilphone BS_Rilphone_1_09_25_23.cab) and then it starts normally and radio seems can works well without it ...

Did I used wrong cab ?

In witch way could this cab make things not good ?

Thanks a lot for too much help ... All of you are awesome !!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
glad to be of help, perhaps the downloaded radio 1.09 you have already has a built in rilphone. thats why when you installed the 1.09 ril it must have caused a conflict or something. anyway, the main thing is if your device is connecting well, wifi, hsdpa, 3g etc, then leave it like it is.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I see ClydeB1 answered you before I could. In most cases, the simple answer is the correct answer. This is why we offer it first. We always start with the generic simple answer as in 90% of the cases, the generic answer is all that is needed. In your case it wasn't. If I had been on line I would have helped you more and dug deeper to find your solution. But I'm glad to see your issue has now been resolved by jigners ;). If you ever need further assistance you can always PM me direct, search this fine forum or post a question if your search is fruitless. Someone like ClydeB1, jigners or myself are generally online to assist ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ights:
the steps in the 1st post really good and i followed em for HSPL and now its 1.56, sorry to sound dumb but what do i do now? so i can get wm6.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you are sure that you have 1.56.Olinex when you switch to the bootloader screen, then you must download the rom you want to use. Connect your phone up, unpack the rom file and run the BlackstoneRUU for the rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ights:
how do i know which rom to use
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you look at the most active threads at the top of the forum lists, read a few of the threads to see screenshots and to establish if other users have issues/bugs. ROMS are very much a matter of personal preference and many people will give you differing advice as to which one is the best or fastest etc. I personally am very happy with the one I'm using (see in my signature for the link), but now that you have hspl installed you can try a few different ones to see which one you prefer.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ights:
thank for the quick reply, am i right in thinking that if i get the rom i like it will update wm6.1 to 6.5?

sorry about this i'm a complete newbie and i am fascinated by all this lol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, most if not all of the latest roms are all wm6.5. There are different builds of 6.5 however, some (the 21xxx range) have the start button at the top left corner similar to 6.1 and the 23xxx, 25xxx and 28xxx range have the start button in the bottom left corner. This seems more finger friendly for me anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ights:
cool, i have done 1 and it works perfect, wondering, for extras like different clock like i seen on a diff rom and and also i have seen a rom with 3 button on the home page, are they cab files which can be just installed or is there a procedure to it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can go to the Themes, Applications & Software forum for clocks and wallpapers etc. The 3 links on the home page is part of manila 2.5, which rom did you flash?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ights:
thank you, i have just put a differ rom on which is Xnor 6.5.3 v1.5 which has the 3 links chuffted to bits now m8, just wanna get the theme, change clock and if poss change the style of the bar at the top with the battery and signal.

what do these guys use to create these roms coz i think they do an amazin job
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Well done, glad you got sorted. Yeah the chefs do an amazing job. They take bits and pieces from official roms such as the Leo and others and port them to the HD. I think there are also other sources where they manage to get new build releases (from who knows where), but anyway I for one am glad for the amazing work they do.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
Hi, I have been wanting to upgrade my TF3D to HD2 version but didnt know how. I came across this site and amazed by the work and efforts.

Since I am completely new to this, I have lots of questions in my mind. Please advice me.

1. Do i install .Net 3.5 to my computer or to HD?

2. I have checked my SPL version which is 1.14.000 but it says serial instead of USB. How do i change that?

3.I have decided to try the USPL, just in case i mess up the phone. Do i just proceed to Post 3 and follow the step by step?

4. Place your phone into its bootloader. What is a bootloader?

5. What do i do after flashing the ROM? Do I get WM6.5 and the new version of UI?

I know I sound dumb.. too many questions. I really appreciate your replies. Thanks thanks!! =)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
1. Read first post

2. If you do not have 'usb' at bottom of bootloader you may need to update your usb drivers by following this guide. Also check you have 'allow usb connections' enabled in activesync connection settings

3. Yes, follow step-by-step guide for USPL in Post#3. This also includes link to usb drivers

4. Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system is running.

Bootloader are used to boot other operating systems, usually each operating system has a set of bootloaders specific for it.

Bootloaders usually contain several ways to boot the OS kernel and also contain commands for debugging and/or modifying the kernel environment.

To enter bootloader follow procedures in post#1

5. Once you have flashed your desire rom your HD will boot up similarly to when you first turned it on.....i.e. it will automatically re-configure, you will need to set up time/dates all settings etc and you will lose all information you previously had on your device including contacts, emails etc so best to backup beforehand. Basically if you do a flash or a hard reset you are returning device to original settings and you are wiping phone clean
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
follow above (FallenSpartan's) guide to you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Meatballs:
I have come to the step where i start up the BlackstoneRUUwrapper.exe

It says that it will delete all information on my PDA phone, does that include contacts aswell? Must i transfer all of my contacts to my SIM-card before i continue?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Flashing a rom will delete everything from your device and restore all default settings, so yes back up your contacts, emails etc. Alternative methods to backing up would be using activesync and Microsft Outlook or PIM Backup, Sashimi, SPB Backup, Sprite, Resco Backup etc etc
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Meatballs:
Thanks for the help. Another problem has occured.

When i run the BlackstoneRUUwrapper156Olinex.exe a loadingscreen appears on the phone and the computer but it stands still on 0% and after a while it says that it has ERROR[262]: UPDATE ERROR communication.

My active sync wont recognise my phone on the computer when i am in bootloader.

I have SPL version 1.14.0000 if it helps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
When in bootloader your phone will not recognize your phone, but bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. If it doesn't make sure you have 'allow usb connections' enabled in connection settings within activesync and/or update usb drivers as per link on post#1

If you get 'usb' in bootloader but continue to get Error 262, try the following:

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.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
Thanks again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Firstly, it is normal that as soon as you switch to bootloader that Activesync looses the connection. What Fallen Spartan has suggested is the correct starting treatment for the 262 error, ie reboot and retry, but this happens more and more recently and this treatment in many cases does not solve the problem, in that case you are going to have to run the manual sspl method:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
1. Read first post

Meaning I install the .NET to my COMPUTER rather than the PHONE? Correct

My ROM version wont revert back to the original HTC version upon restart if i install USPL, is that right? If you install USPL it should remain until you flash a rom or radio even after reboot

What if I want my HD to look like Xannytech ROM Grid Evo Turbo 1.6 (Internal Rel. 3.2.5.48)? Do I install that afterward or I should install this ROM instead? I know its silly but thanks again! Really appreciate. (USPL1d) use your desired rom, i.e. XannyTech 1.6. I have modified guide to state this

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you are getting no radio function then it sounds like something went wrong furing process. Did your SPL correctly change to SPL 1.54.0000? Did you re-use SPL again before flashing rom, i.e. SPL 1.15.USPL. Basically you need to use USPL before every flash. If you had incorrect SPL before flashing this could have caused your radio not to work. What is your current SPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
I am stuck.

(USPL3e) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from the download in step (USPL1a) and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from. If you get an error message saying that the file is already in use that is because you clicked one or more buttons in the HardSPL application window once it appeared. If that happens to you, exit from it, start it again, and DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.

Does it paste as a RUU_Signed_copy.nbh or sth like that?

I ran HSPL_Wrapper by following the instruction, but it stopped at 0% and says an error has occurred. Did i do anything wrong here?

Not there yet. Sobs :(

My current SPL is back to 1.14.0000 as i failed to flash it. Do I start from step 1 again?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, you need to overwrite (ie replace) the .nbh file that is extracted when you click on HSPLWrapper. The .nbh file there is for if you are using HSPL, but as you want to use USPL, you need to replace the .nbh file with the USPL one copied from USPL1a. If you did not replace the .nbh file you will get an error

You need to continue with USPL3 again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Meatballs:

Hi,

I have Rom Version: Miri WM 6.5 WWE

Dated: 27/11/08

Radio: 1.09.25.14

SPL-1.14.0lixNex

I have been meaning to reflash for ages and there was a sticky post which said I needed to remove HSPL, flash original orange ROM and then put the new HSPL on before flashing latest Rom.

My question is does anyone have a link to that thread as I can't seem to find it, if not, what do I need to do? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
Thanks, ClydeB1. I think I did not extract the .rar to its respective FOLDER and it caused the overwrite problem. I will try again after I come back from work. Its 9am here. :S Cant wait to do it now.

Hi I have followed your instructions as of above but not able to start any flash to my HTC HD at all. the status always comes back with an error message that there is an error and needed to do recovery each time. The bar just shows 0% uploaded or flashed. Plse advise. Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
This is the sticky thread that you should need. Read the first 3 posts, they give all of the steps you need. I don't believe there is a need to remove HSPL first, just try to update it to 1.56.Olinex. You also shouldn't need to flash to the Orange rom (unless you are experiencing problems) which are also not likely as you don't seem to be a frequent flasher ;) If you really want to be safe though you can use the steps at the end of this post to revert to stock rom and spl.

No problem, hope it works for you. Good luck.

Are you sure all of the steps were successful. In bootloader mode, what spl is showing? What error code do you get? If you get error 262 which is a common one, you can reboot the device and try again. If you are still not successlul, use manual sspl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
Just another silly question,

If i decided to use the stock ROM (1.14.000), I can easily do it by a hard reset. Is that right?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, you have to flash back to the stock rom, almost a reverse process of what you have just done to get the cooked rom on. You can find more info at the end of this post.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shutterism:
Even for USPL? Hmm, correct me if i m wrong.

its to overwrite the HPSL so tat it Cooks the room. Its just like a HSPL of stock?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes. Although it is a little easier because you have an official spl loaded ie 1.54.0000, but you still need to reflash to the stock rom. Depending on what rom you use the spl 1.54.0000 could also need to be changed in order to match to the rom, otherwise you will have the screen discolouration issue typical of a spl mismatch. Depending on your operator, you could still have difficulties explaining how you changed your spl if for example your original spl was 1.14.0000 and if you are in an area where no official update was released.

All a hard reset does is wipe the memory of the device ie data such as files, contacts, sms and email etc, it does not revert the rom to the original as the rom is not impacted by a hard reset.

I just tried to Flash my HTC but i think i failed it somehow.

These were the old specs of my phone:

ROM Version: 1.14.404.3 (22273) NLD

ROM Date: 12/09/08 <-- dd/mm/yy

Radioversion: 1.09.25.14

Protocolversion: 52.49e.25.26H

CE-Operatingsystem 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0)

In bootscreen i had:

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.000

MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6

I used this guide.

So i downloaded HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and i run that. It installed it and if i check my bootscreen now, it does say:

SPL-1.56.OliNex.

When i startup my HTC i noticed that my colors are kinda strange... Can someone please tell me what i did wrong??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What rom did you install after installing hspl? You say you have loaded hspl, but make no mention of a new rom. If the rom you loaded does not match to the spl version on your phone you will get this colour problem. With hspl 1.56 you need to install a 1.56+ based rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sevenrow:
Well, i was about to download the following ROM:

Dusk Manila Evolution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544422

But i haven't installed it yet.. Can i still install the ROM?

Sorry though, this is the first time i'm trying to Flash a phone. So it's all very new to me :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you have HSPL 1.56 on your device (check SPL in bootloader to confirm....should state SPL 1.56.Olinex) then you are fine to flash rom. Reason as ClydeB1 stated above for your colour issues is that your SPL doesn't match your rom at present. This should be rectified after flashing rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
That is not a rom, that is a theme that you apply to a rom. So you first need to install a rom and only then can you install the Dusk Manila theme

The reason you get the screwy colours is because the spl on your device ie hspl 1.56.Olinex no longer matches with the rom on your phone. I presume therefore that you still have the original rom installed. You need to choose a rom from the posts down below this sticky thread and install that first. With hspl installed you are free to choose a rom that catches your fancy.
