Thanks alot for the help, i've installed - EnergyROM "Leo" - which is working good right now! :) (except that the top left startmenu is overlapped by the 'today' menu)

So after the ROM installation i tried to install the "Dusk Manila 2.5 Evolution v2.0". It installed succesfully. But when i select the 'Dusk' theme from the themes list, it isn't applying the theme at all... I actually have this with all the availible themes in the list.

Any idea what the problem might be?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Glad you came right.

You'll probably get better help on Dusk related queries in that specific thread. I don't really use Dusk so I'm not an expert on it. Things that I do know about it though is that it is very dependent on where it was installed. You need to install all of the components on to the device memory and not to storage card, otherwise it wont work. Most of the Dusk theme is installed and should work after a soft reset and the only thing activated via the Today menu AFAIK is some of the arrows and highlight colours etc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I'm glad you got it sorted with help from ClydeB1, but this thread is for flashing queries only. You'll find the Dusk theme thread in the Themes, Applications and Software forum where the creator of the Dusk theme, grzegorz10 will be able to assist you

I got a new HD (1.59 ROM) today (my old one was stolen yesterday :mad:), and had some issues flashing to HSPL. I'm running Windows 7 x64.

When I first ran the wrapper, the warning message (unsigned app) poped-up and switched to boot loader (1.07 OliNex). Then the phone got disconnected and USB is not shown at the bottom, and I got the 260 error. Running the wrapper with Windows XP/Vista compaitiblity didn't help either. I also tried the manual method, but USB is not shown when I pluged-in the cable.

Out of desperation, I launched the regular bootloader, plug-in the USB cable. Windows suddenly found a new device called HTC USB Sync. After the device installation, USB is shown on the screen. I reset the device and launch the wrapper again, and this time everything went smoothly.

Hope this help someone :)

I have a HTC Touch 2(MEGA),branded in Orange Network Romania,and windows cracked I mean by that,the picture on the screen while you unlock the device remains blue insted of the original or it is tiled as in windos wallpaper option and also before that the device was stuck on windows logo while booting.I had to hard reset in order to bring it back to life.I tried both USPL and HSPL flashes but still nothing on.

On HSPL I have error 262,done recovery still same already updated driver still same error.

On USPL the uspl.exe gives error that the drivers are not updated though I already done that first.Also the antivirus is turned off,no error regarding trojan or risk.If you have any sugestion I would kindly appreciate to have them posted
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
AFAIK this will only work on the Blackstone (Touch HD). You will need to go to the Touch 2 forum and get the HSPL and/or USPL specific to your device.

Here is a link to HSPL for the Mega, where you can see they are still working on the HSPL. Sorry, it looks like you will have to wait.

Hey guys, I don't see any recommendation regarding Flashing roms via SD card. Is there a reason?? Isn't this easier? Coming from the Diamond, it's basically the best way to flash? Secondly, do you guys not use mtty to clear bloated devices? Thx guys!!

FAQ: How to do a Rom/Radio Upgrade with SD Card..

Solution:

1.Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.

2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.

3. Turn off your device by using the Power Button

4. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.

5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.

6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
band27, I agree it is easy to flash from the sd card, but I'm not sure why this is not widely publicised.

MTTY has also never really been punted for the HD either. I see some users are developing issues and are starting to use it now, either that or they flash back to stock roms to clear the "bloated" device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bopper3000:
HELP or GUIDANCE would be very much appreciated! ;)

I purchased a HTC Touch HD last month, and I have been reading through several threads on this forum, and I'm amazed by the huge amount of roms, software etc. that can be used to enhance this phone!

The only thing I have added is 'HD Tweak', so I do know how to add the software etc.

I really want to make my phone the best it can be and enhance it as much as possible - this is where I need the help! I am new to the whole ROM thing, should I download a new ROM before downloading any new software?

I just need someone to help with me what is the best way to do this and what exact ROMs and software would be recommended! Or even if there is a step by step guide for what order to install these?

If anyone would take the time to help with this, I would be really grateful. If you wana reply to me on this thread or if you want my e-mail address if handier!

Cheers,

Bopper!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
urgent!

can anybody tell me how to flash a stock rom, i'm using hardspl.

it's urgent! thanks in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Well have you installed hspl already? In bootloader screen does it show SPL 1.56.Olinex? If so, download the rom of your choice, extract the files, connect your device to your pc in bootloader mode and run the RUUWrapper or CustomRUU exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.

Alternatively you can flash via sd card:

1.Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.

2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.

3. Turn off your device by using the Power Button

4. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.

5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.

6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
This does not really matter unless you are downloading to your device, in which case save to sd card so that the flash does not wipe all of the downloads. Download the software to your pc and it will always be there. ;)

Read the first few threads of this thread, it gives the step by step details of how to flash. As to what is best, this is pretty much a personal choice. Read some of the rom threads in this forum - the popular ones will naturally gravitate to the top. Look at the first few posts to see screenshots and then read the last 4-5 pages of the thread to see if users are generally happy with the rom or are they reporting bugs. From there make a shortlist and try a few out to decide for yourself.

If you have more questions after reading the first few posts in this thread I'll gladly try to help you through.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
so the thing is if we have spl 1.54, we can only flash the newest stock roms that support 1.54 spl, we don't have to restore the original spl....but will the idiots at the shop detect this and refuse the waranty, can I say I updated from htc site???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bopper3000:
Thanks ClydeB1,

I was going to follow his steps for the ROM, as they seem very clear! But this was posted in April, would the downloads he recommends be as up to date as I would like, is there better ROMs out there for me to download?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I would say that all depends on the level of knowledge at the repair centre. Certain stock roms are only made available to certain devices based on the serial number, so if they check and know that your device was not entitled to the upgrade they could give you hassles.

In response to your query though, yes, a 1.54.0000 spl will only support the 1.54/1.56 roms. Any others will have a blue/green screen which is indicative of the wrong spl for the rom. The safest bet is to go back to your original rom and spl if you can remember what that was ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
If you look below the stickies on this forum there are tons of threads with new roms released as long ago as yesterday ;) - take your pick. Most of these posts start with [ROM]........
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
could you please post the procedure for restoring stock spl, i think it was 1.14, just in case

Thanks clyde,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bopper3000:
And when i find one I like, do I just follow the same instructions of the start of this thread?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You'll find it here (at the end of the post)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Exactly the same. You need to first update to hspl or uspl as described and then download your rom of choice, unzip/unrar the file - there will normally be 2 files, a BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and a BLACIMG.nbh file. As long as these files are in the same folder, and the device is connected via usb cable, just click on the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow the instructions.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bopper3000:
Thanks very much Clyde81, I will try this later!

If I'm having problems Ill prob ask for your help again lol

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
stock flash

people I need help

i restored my original spl, and downloaded stock rom, but when i try to flash it it say invalid vender id. what do I have to do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Use USPL to Flash.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
damn, I never used uspl, I always used hspl

is there a way somebody could give me a crash course on how to do it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
Go back to the first posts, the guide's there ;)

Or just use Hard SPL, if you don't mind having Hard SPL again.

Dave
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Guess who didn't read the procedures correctly hey buddy :D

You were supposed to flash the rom and

then

the spl :p :D

As DaveShaw says, you will have to either go back to hspl or learn uspl. As you probably still have all of the hspl downloads and have done it before, hspl would probably be the quicker option. So go back to hspl, then flash the stock rom and then finally the stock spl.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
now i have another problem, i go to bootloader and try to install hspl 1.56, but it just sits there at zero, and then gives me the recovery procedure and then the same thing sits at 0

what should I do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What error code do you get?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Are you following the guide correctly? Do you get an error code when trying to flash HSPL? If you cannot get HSPL to work have you tried SSPL as per suggestions from guide, i.e.

Troubleshooting - manual SSPL

Boot up your phone.

Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.

Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.

When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.

Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
after it sits there for a minute on 0%, it says there was a communication error and that i should follow the recovery procedure, i do it and the same thing

i'm freaking out!

i don't understand when i did the restore spl procedure it was done in a second and no problems, i will try the sspl now after i give the phone some rest
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
What error code ie is it 260 or 262 or another number?

If none of the reboots/restores work, do as Fallen Spartan suggested above and try the Manual SSPL. The first ime I installed HSPL all went smoothly and when I recently tried the restore to stock and came back to HSPL I also had to use Manual SSPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
you guys...

i did the sspl thing and it worked

i'm not gay, but i think i love you guys!

ok, so just to make sure, when reverting to stock rom:

(i have hspl 1.56 olinex)

1.i first have to flash the stock rom even tough i have hspl 1.56 because it overrides the vendor id issue

2.after that i will have the green screen issue

3.then insert stock spl, to eliminate the green screen issue

right?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No wonder my wife hates me visiting this site with the amount of propositions I get from people professing their love :D.

Back on topic, Yes, your steps described are correct. Good luck m8.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
considering i had to much stress for this day i think i'll go for the easy way out

i'll just flash the newer stock rom (from april this year) which supports 1.54( i think) then i won't have to change the spl

can anybody confirm this guys?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
As you are using HSPL (ie spl is 1.56.Olinex) you will need to change spl either way - either to 1.54.0000 or to 1.14.0000.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As ClydeB1 stated you'll still need to change your SPL if you've been using HSPL, i.e. SPL 1.56.Olinex

To change spl to either 1.54.0000 or 1.14.0000 follow the steps described at the bottom of post#1 in this thread, i.e.

How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!

1. download your choice of a stock spl package from this post. (currently 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, 1.54)

2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post.

3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing.

4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!

5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.

+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000 or any other version ending in .0000, but not ending in OliNex!

that's it.

+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Welcome back. Glad you found your way here.

You are saying that when you put the device into bootloader mode (ie tri-colour screen) and run the HSPLWrapper it does not find the device? What error code do you get when the RUU eventually times out?

In bootloader mode and when connected to usb, does "usb" show up at the bottom white section of the screen?

Are you able to establish a connection to ActiveSync or WMDC?

You also say that after the initial problems, you then ran the sspl, what happened, did the device boot to spl 1.07.Olinex and did you then again try to run the HSPLWrapper once usb was showing on screen but again without luck? Did you get a different error code here? What spl version is currently on your device?

Sorry for the 20 questions, but I need to understand where the problems are happening so I can try to help you through.

You may also need to update/change your usb drivers, which may help to establish the connection a little easier. You can find the guide here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vertex--uk--:
hi, at the bottom of the tri-color screen it says usb

it never says that it has found the phone

it cannot establish a connection to ActiveSync when in the tri-color screen

so i did some more digging and found that i might have to put sspl on the phone and run it did that

then did the update for the usb driver

the error code i get is 262 when it times out

the slp is 1.54.0000

thanks

Mick
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Ok, if it shows usb in bootloader you are fine. (Don't worry once in bootloader you can't establish a connection to ActiveSync).

SSPL will help to get around the Error 262 problem. For sspl, yes you do need to save the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe file to your phone memory or sd card and then run it on the phone. When this has run, your spl will show as 1.07.Olinex and the phone will boot into bootloader mode. Once this has completed, and once usb shows again in bootloader then you can run the HSPLWraper file again. This should then complete showing a spl of 1.56.Olinex. Only once you get this far are you ready to flash to the cooked rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vertex--uk--:
Thank you so much it worked thank you again.

Just one more question for you how di i get win mobile 6.5 on the phone?

thank you

Mick
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
My pleasure m8. To load wm6.5 is exactly the same as loading hspl. You need to choose a rom, there are many on this forum. If you look below the stickies like this thread, you will find a host of roms to choose from. I suggest you read a few threads, look at pictures and read to see if users are generally happy or are there bugs. There are basically 2 main types of 6.5 roms currently, those with start menu buttons in the top left corner and those with the start menu button in the bottom left corner.

See a few that you want, now that you have hspl loaded you can change your rom as often as you like, so try a few out to see what you prefer. Just remember that when you flash the rom it will wipe your contact details and all data stored on your phone memory, so back it up.

When you download the rom, it comes in a zip or rar file. You need to unzip the file and you will in most cases see 2 main files, a BlackstoneRUU exe file and a file called BLACIMG.nbh. Thisis the rom file. Run the RUU exe and follow the steps on screen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Psygnosis84:
Hey guys i want to HSPL it, so i put it into bootloader and wait until it says USB at the bottom of the screen but nothing loads into windows.

I run HSPL Wrapper but when it tries to verify information about the phone, it shows nothing.

It has update but no information above it.

What do i do?

Do i run it in the tricolor screen or should i boot up the phone and then connect it up?

EDIT:

Yeah i can't run USB connections via the tricolor screen. It shows Mobile Device but Mobile Device Center disconnects so i can't run the program... what do i do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Hi, you should boot the phone to the Tri-Colour screen (although if you forget and it is in WM, there is a little routine to switch the phone to bootloader mode). In bootloader it is not possible to establish a connection to ActiveSync or WMDC but this is also not needed. Connect the phone to pc via usb and ensure that "usb" shows up in the bootom of the phone screen (tri-colour screen). When this happens run HSPLWrapper. If you do not get the usb showing you may need to change your usb drivers. There is a link to the guide in the first post (towards the bottom).

After running HSPLWrapper, follow the on screen instructions. If you get an error message still you will possibly get an Error 260 or Error 262 message. If so you will need to try the manual sspl method
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Psygnosis84:
Ok i repeated what i done before and as soon as the Tricolor screen came up showing USB showed up, Windows 7 started to install the USB drivers.

For some reason it wasn't doing it before but i guess it changed its mind.

All good, i've just flashed Miri 6.5 :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Excellent my friend, glad you got it all sorted, now welcome to the flashing club. Let the mayhem begin!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] delacr0ix:
so...i tried this process to a brand new HTC Touch Pro2 from Sprint...the initial HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex didnt' work. then followed the step to get that working with the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD by running that off my flash card on the phone....screen went black and the phone never worked again. hard reset does not work or respond...i have been holding the talk/end/power buttons for 5+ minutes straight...still won't boot up or turn on or respond.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I have a horrible suspicion that you now have a brand new TouchPro2 Brick. :eek: This process is for the Touch HD ONLY. I hope for your sake that I am wrong. :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] delacr0ix:
i probably do...this is the touch pro 2 section is it not?

from what i have been reading this was the section for the phone...at least all the android sections pointed me here. oh well...sprint store here i come!

*edit* after going over all this stuff....found that some of the links i clicked were a little misleading from the android threads(what i was intending to test on the phone) pointing me here. my fault but, kind of annoying....thankfully it's a company phone and can just get it replaced for free.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No, this is the Touch HD section (aka Blackstone).
