DEAR ALL,

Try for the first time to flash my HTC HD but I just could not find where is that first rom that I need. (A 1.56+ based rom- ) from Dutty website, I seems not being able to get it. Do I need this for those latest up to date ROM? Like Dutty wm6.5 R12? If not, can I skip this rom? Please advise, bros..

Anyone can help? Appreciate your time taken.

Cheers,

Chivas76.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I suppose that link is a little outdated. When this guide was written that was Duttythroys latest rom, but you can download any cooked rom you like which is based on 1.56+, i.e. Throys, Miri's, NRG's etc etc.....basically whichever rom you you want on your device after flashing

I'll edit first post so no future confusion
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcelnyo:
Hi Excuse me for asking a reconfirmation...

If I Uses USPL, the bootloader on my device should show 1.14 every time I reboot?

Then if the bootloader shows SPL 1.56 Olinex, I was using HSPL?

If this is correct then there goes my warranty... lol...

Thanks a lot.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you use HSPL your warranty will be voided, i.e. if something happens to your device while HSPL is on device, your warranty will be void. If you are using USPL, your warranty will be ok.

However you are still able to return to stock even when using HSPL, i.e. if you have a hardware malfunction (camera, volume buttons not working etc) and you're still able to use device you can always restore it to original SPL before returning device to get repared. Unfortunately if you have other malfunctions like motherboard or black screen etc you may not be able to return device to original SPL and HSPL would still be on device, so warranty void

why my HTC HD always restart after upgrade ROM???...i found some messages "please wait for first use bla bla bla"...anybody can help me?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You have basically installed a whole new operating system to the phone and this needs to set itself up. It would be the same as if you upgraded your pc from xp to vista.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] r1kr1k:
but the restart restart restart n always restart..the restart repeat..dunno..-_-"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry, don't understand you. Do you mean your phone keeps restarting?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Redshark976:
I still have the first stock ROM 1.14 SPL

Best way is USPL for my warranty.

So now I just download all programs, and a 1.56+ rom I guess?

Can someone give me a link for a good WM6.5 ROM with manilla 2.5

Thanks,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Plenty of good wm6.5 roms with manila 2.5 out there if you search.

IMO most recommended would be Miri's & Throys, NRG's

damn error 290? never happend to me before

i cant even get to bootloader anymore..phone dont turn on

anyone have idea on this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Phone won't turn on whatsoever, you cannot get into bootloader? What were you doing beforehand?

Would remove battery and leave for a couple hours. Then try to reboot or get into bootloader
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lunakirb:
yeah mate, allow me to explain what really happen.

yesterday music tab crashed, instead of pressing the small red button to SF

i pressed the power button, the screen closes, i agian pressed the power and screen turns on and goes back to the crashed manila music tab. so

i yank the battery, and restarted again..but it only works until the "Smart Mobility" screen only..and then nothing happens its like it crashed from there..done hardreset but same thing

this prompted me to flashed again the ROM,

while flashing it stops on 12% and i received an error 290

my phone really is screwed this time damn :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sounds like you need to flash orginal stock rom which was on your device, then go through whole process of flashing again.

This can be caused when flash process stalls or is stopped.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pelletron:
Great work, man. Thanks a lot. This post is really helpful.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lunakirb:
stall or stopped means its bec of computer?

flashed the stock rom? but what if its stops again?

last time it stops and ive read somewhere that once the flashing got interupted

i have to flashed that same ROM again..

hi...why my htc hd always jam??

i already hard reset..but still jam...

i use onelix 156 and Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1

please help me..~~
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If your SPL states 1.56.Olinex then you are using correct HSPL, so it sounds like you followed flashing process correctly. May be just a bad flash of that rom. Personally I would try reflashing that rom, then hard reset twice before using it to see if this solves issue. If not, ask on Miri thread to see if any others are experiences similar issues. Could well be the rom.

Have you installed or tweaked anything in registry after you flashed rom, or was it jamming straight from flash?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fulcoboy:
Dude I have to thank you a million, my HTC crashed abnormally and due to your procedure it works again perfectly!! :D

Thank you very much Digital Outcast for compiling that guide to flashing.

It was very appreciated and considerate to remember us 'dummies' ! :)

Thank you Thank you Thank you

I was about to give up green, distorted screen appear and my HD went crazy.

you're a saver.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gez05:
Hmm...so I'm going for the HSLP approach (first timer at this) and I'm getting error 162.

I plugged in the cable, ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from bootloader and got the 162 error. Then, I put the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe on my phone, ran it, it shows 1.07.01iNex on the bootlader, but then nothing, USB doesn't appear, nor serial. It just hangs at that screen. Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong?

Much appreciated!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] molinex:
I've executed the same steps resulting in the same errors. I don't know what I'm doing wrong so I'll leave it for now. Hopefully someone knows the problem, would like to see WM 6.5 on my new HD :)

Update: I've managed to install it properly.

For installing HardSpl the guide states that you have to go in to bootloader mode. I did that the first time, but that gave me those errors. Than I just booted up WM, set up my active sync connection and tried again having my phone running WM and not in bootloader mode. That did the trick.

Installing the ROM went smoothly, using the guidelines. Is it necessary to do a Hard Reset? I didn't do that and the phone just boots up normally.

Anyway, thank you for the fantastic thread and forum in general!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juno256:
I got hold of an HTC Touch HD with a broken lcd screen...managed to fix it yesterday....

I have an SPL version 1.14 and the phone was locked on orange before unlocking the sim.

I cannot download the official ROM as it states it is not suitable for my device.

What is the latest official ROM? Where can I find it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can find the latest upgrades to the official roms at www.htc.com. These roms are mostly region specific so that is probably why you are getting that message about not being suitable as there is no upgrade yet for your rom. If you use either uspl of hspl as described in this thread, you can flash to any rom, be it official or cooked.

You will find many official roms here, but you will need to upgrade your spl to flash the later versions.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Try rebooting phone and putting it into bootloader, then connect it to pc using usb cable. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb', then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] juno256:
Done.. Thanks a lot... Had to use the Manual Bootloader... but then all went as a breeze ;)

Running latest European ROM now :)

Where do I go for some links to useful software :P

This site is great haha!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Pleasure m8. Glad you came right.

You can find a list of apps and games that have been tested on the HD here. I guess you can always Google them after deciding which ones you want to find a site.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Step666:
If this is the 'dummies' guide, I must be a freakin' idiot because I find a lot of this incomprehensible.

But I've been trying to follow the guide step-by-step as best I can and I've been able to flash HSPL, a new Radio ROM and Dutty's latest WinMo 6.5 offering, so all I can say if you're a miracle worker Digital Outcast and I owe you a debt of gratitude for helping breathe a new lease of life into my HD.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Again testament to the brilliant job done here by Digital Outcast and also a pointer to all users, provided you follow the steps as set out (even if you may not fully understand each step) you can still successfully flash your device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rustyj:
Where do I find the .nbh file

* (HSPL1b) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You will find many in this site (ROM Development thread - scroll down below the stickies and there are many different roms to try out) or else you can also find some here.

I suggest you read a few of these threads to get a view on how stable these roms are, ie are users experiencing major problems and if not try a few out until you find one that suits your needs. There are choices between WM6.1 and WM6.5 as well as options on the manila version (TF3D) ie 2.0, 2.1, 2.5 and 2.5.1 (aka 2.6)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Step666:
I wouldn't say it was quite as cut and dry as that - I had real problems getting HSPL onto my phone and was halfway through composing a post detailing my problems when I tried one last time (mostly so I could double-check the wording of the error messages) and suddenly it all worked!

Had I understood what I was doing, I probably would've found the experience rather less stressful but I was ultimately successful, which I suppose is the acid test...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rustyj:
ClydeB1!!! Thanks for pionting me in the right direction.

It works a treat!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:

Back on topic ;). Did you take the plunge and flash and did you manage to get everything flashed ok?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rustyj:
I managed to put Dutty's HD WM6.5 Leo R2 ROM on and works a treat!!

Are there any other you would recommend I have a look at??

It easy once I have done it. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Plenty of roms to try, and as you said its easy once you have done it. So I'd recommend trying a few yourself to make you own conclusion as everyone has different tastes so its hard to recommend a certain rom to somebody else.

FYI, most commonly used roms are created by Miri, NRG, Duttythroy, Laurentius so I'd recommend starting with them. Just decide whether or not you want wm6.1 or wm 6.5, manila 2.1 or manila 2.5. This should cut down amount of roms to try.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
+1 on Fallen Spartan's advice. In addition to trying the roms he has suggested, I would recommend taking some time to read through the threads of these roms (you can find some links in my signature to some of the latest roms available). From the posts in these threads you can get a view on how stable or buggy these roms are and depending on whether you want to be on the bleeding edge or leading edge of roms you should get a picture of what you want to try or not.

Welcome to the Flashaholics Club. Your badge is in the mail :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Step666:
I'm sorry but that is a poor excuse for the Draconian rule about not being allowed to ask for ROM recommendations.

You're saying that I can ask for other people opinions on things like headphones, cases, docks, higher-capacity batteries, software/applications (amongst many other things) but not ROMs?

With any of those other things that I would allowed to start threads asking for opinions/advice on, other people are just as likely to hold a different opinion to my own as they are with ROMs, the only difference is that I would find that out the hard way when I bought whatever item only to find that it didn't suit my needs.

Yet with ROMs, which can always be replaced at no cost to myself, I'm not allowed to ask for advice?

It's common sense that when you ask for advice on something as subjective as which ROM is superior that people's responses will be coloured by their own opinions and therefore may not be perfectly aligned with my own but, knowing that, if I still want to ask for people's opinions, why should I not be allowed to?

I'm a big boy, I don't need protecting from myself - if I ask for people's opinions I do so because I genuinely want to know what other people think and I won't be surprised or upset if people recommend ROMs that aren't precisely what I'm after.

As best I can see, there is nothing in the forum rules that prohibits us from starting such threads so why are we prevented from doing so?

U dont need the blackstoneRuuwrapper. If u download the Rom inside the folder is ROMUpdateUtility double click and go

so if i understand correctly :

to change spl to 1.15 ...

then just click ROMUpdateUtility.exe while the device is in bootloader mode

correct?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
No. You will first need to upgrade your spl to either 1.54.000 (using uspl) or 1.56.Olinex (using hspl). Follow the steps in the first few posts of this thread to do this. Only once your spl is either of the 2 I mention above should you then run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] avicoh12:
i don't understand originally the device comes with spl 1.54

after i run USPL GUI v 2.5 Application it changes / reboots and it appears 1.15USPL

(USPL5c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Sorry, you are right (oops my bad :o) - you can see I use hspl and have never used uspl and my original spl was 1.14.0000.

Once you have gotten to 1.15 uspl as you have, you would normally run the BlackstoneRUU wrapper, but in this case (phamquang's roms) there is no wrapper so just run the RUU (ROMUpdateUtility.exe)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] avicoh12:
alright so back to my Q,

i'll run ROMUpdateUtility.exe while my device is in bootloader 1.15UPLS

and the usb is connected

anything else?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sounds like everything is good to go. Do not disconnect usb cable until flashing process is fully completed
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] avicoh12:
yhaa !! it worked and it looks great

Problem !

Hi yesterday i just bought a TOUCH HD , and wanted to install WM6.5 into it

first i used the HARD flasher , and it detected my Rom as Version 1.14 and so it upgraded it to 1.14.olinex

everything was running smooth and fine , and then i downloaded the WM6.5 premium pack , and flashed it into the phone and that's when the problems started , first of all i lost my Signal , the screen display is corrupted ( the ccolors , ( but it goes well after a Screen OFf and On )) to and the system is laggy and VERY slow ... ( Even the calibration setting @ the first boot was slow and laggy )

did i do everything right ? Why did i lost my Signal ...

so i decided to go back to 6.1 but to a newer version so i downloaded the 1.56 Rom from EU website ( incompatible ROM Without olinex due to region )

so installed this one too using the 1.14.Olinex , but having the same issues , screen colors is corrupted ( but it goes well after a Screen OFf and On ) , and i lost Signal again , but the device speed is fine but i have system freezing issues ...

so as far as it seems like i have to stick with the Default os , but am i doing something wrong , or the loss of signal is due to my carrier ... ?

any help would be appreciated , thx in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You need to change version of HSPL. This is why your getting these colour issues & no signal.

HSPL 1.14 is to be used for roms based on pre 1.56

HSPL 1.56 is to be used on roms based on 1.56+

Once you've change HSPL your SPL should state 1.56.Olinex and then your colours & signal should return to normal
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sliv:
sorry if this is a stupid question i have flashed using HSPL before.but since i dnt have a gud internet connection at home i always flash at the office and everytime have to get a tech guy to put the administrator password which is a pain in the ass :D so reading this will it flash if i copy the file and turn off and go to the bootloader mode.whats that other thing about connecting to the pc and stuff?is that the part where dutty explains how to flash uspl?

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

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

# Turn off your device by using the Power Button.

# Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.

# Be sure that Device is connected to PC first before inputting the Storage card

# Input Storage card when you see USB displaying on screen.

# Now run USPL.

# If all instruction is followed device will start upgrading through Storage Card.

# Always ensure that you run USPL before flashing any rom when using USPL method.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Throy is describing SD card with USPL. If you have HSPL already on device you do not need to worry about all of his instructions. I have deleted sections from Throys steps to assist you.

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

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Freypal:
Hi i've read through a lot of posts on this and would like to flash a custom ROM for the first time.

The easiest method at least to me appears to be using USPL and the storage card method as described in Duttys posts. However i just had one quick point i wanted clarifying.

The steps are listed as,

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

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

# Turn off your device by using the Power Button.

# Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.

# Be sure that Device is connected to PC first before inputting the Storage card

# Input Storage card when you see USB displaying on screen.

# Now run USPL.

# If all instruction is followed device will start upgrading through Storage Card.

# Always ensure that you run USPL before flashing any rom when using USPL method.

After inserting the storage card in the bootloader i assume it will not automatically start trying to update? It will only begin the update process when i run USPL.

In other words do i need to have run USPL prior to inserting the storage card after it shows the USB connection and then starting the process by running USPL again on my PC.

Hope that makes sense...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sliv:
thanks just flashed and phone is booting...everything seems to work fine thanks a lot.i will be able to flash a lot easier now.out of curiosity what method do u recommend?flashing using sd card is a lot easier as i dont have to use the pc except to copy the file...and i can do it anywhere after i copy the file :)
