Sorry, this is a Tutorial on How to Flash a New rom. You'll be better served posting this question in the thread relating to your rom.

As stated by ClydeB1 above this thread is for advice on flashing roms. Please post your query in the general forum

Hi there,

Can someone help me further with this problem?

thnx a lot!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, go into bootloader.....what does your SPL state? It should state either SPL 1.54.0000 or SPL 1.56.Olinex. If not then your SPL is wrong and you'll have to follow the guide at the start of this thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
it said:

SPL-1.54.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, did you use USPL before flashing your 1.56 based rom? i.e. did your SPL state SPL v 1.15.USPL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
yes i did..

then my phone is really really slow.. it seems to be frozen, and i can only use my volup/down and on/off switch

the touch buttons doesn't respond
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
ok, well it sounded like you followed the flashing process correctly. Possibly a bad flash. Have you tried flashing rom again using USPL or flashing a different rom, possibly a cooked one
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
i have tried several flashes..

with every flash the same output.

:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
tried a different rom? If your still experiencing this issue with different roms and you've used correct flashing process then it obviously is a problem with your device itself
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
before i flashed a custom ROM, my HTC was working fine..

i don't know what the default rom, spl and radio is (i don't have write that down.. stupid me)

Is there a "factory default state?"

Like the original shipped rom from HTC with this spl and that radio?

Or isn't simple like that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
unfortunately not as simple as that. Stock rom & SPL is probably dependant on time/date you got device. Stock roms can be found here so you can check dates and try to work out which was yours. Guidance on how to restore stock rom & SPL can be found at bottom of first post in this thread
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
okay, than i'm gonna search for the first ROM.. because my Touch HD is a old one :D

Thnx for your support!!

Can i flash the old ROM with my recent SPL? or give that a problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you flash an old rom with recent SPL, in your case 1.54 then you'll get other incompatibility issues. This is why you need to restore SPL as well
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
that makes it more difficult.

i need to figure out which spl is the correct one..

Blergh.. Windows :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
the flashes and things worked.. but the touchscreen isn't reacting at all..

does someone have this problem solved?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
Hi!

I have new info!

a friend of my with the same phone and same the same buying date has the following information

ce os 5.2.20757 build 20757.1.4.0 / 1.14.401.3 (22273) wwe

r 1.09.25.14

g 52.49h.25.26u

d 1.14.22273

i got:

r 1.09.25.14

g 52.49a.25.26u

d 1.14.25874

how can i translate this information to ROM and SPL/Radio version so that i can my phone back to factory defaults?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
r 1.09.25.14 (Radio Radio Version)

g 52.49a.25.26u (Protocol Version)

d 1.14.25874 (OS Version)

So you have 2 perfect matches. All you need to do is find a matching WM 6.1 build (1.14.22273).

<<HERE>> is the matching ROM....

If

...the above link doesn't work then, <<GO HERE>> as there is a whole thread on it.

And you already have the original SPL in the bootloader right? Check this just to make sure and then you are done.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
Thank you!!

I have download it..

I flashed; and then..

I can't get the

r 1.09.25.14

d 1.14.25874

to

r 1.09.25.14

g 52.49h.25.26u

d 1.14.22273

So.. what should i do? Is my Blackstone now official a stone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] band27:
Are you sure that the flash wasn't a bad one? The build should have changed over... Go to Device Info > Software INFO and see if your ROM DATE has change from previous to the original Stock Date. Also Check if the manila version changed as well. Weird..:confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jay-connected:
Maybe, the flash isn't so good..

But; i can't find anywhere on the WHOLE internet that stupid flash.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes :)

Flasing a rom is like formatting your computers hard drive. It will erase anything you have on it (custom files, settings, email, etc). So yes, you would need to backup what you want to keep :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:
cheers Mate, but if i use SPB back up will it overwrite any dutty rom stuff?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I'm not too familiar with SPB Backup. I've been using Sprite backup and it has different merge levels with a restore, allowing you to not restore system files, etc... just customizations. Does SPB have a similar feature?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:
I can uncheck update system data ( if thats it?), but update PIM data,emails,my doc etc.

Also if i used this ROM

http://rapidshare.com/files/1779760....405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe

What happens to all the Service Provider(orange) settings for 3g,mms etc?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
There's a program called Connection Setup that HTC provides that handles setting all that up. I don't know about a rom that old... but it's included in all of Dutty's roms and the new HTC 1.56.xxxx roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:

help please

thanks a lot for the effort in setting up this guide, i can see it has helped a lot people. However as for me i am still struggling been trying for the last 10 hours no luck i have searched and done evertything but no luck. this is what i did.

1)i began by going into bootloader, and the information i found was SPL-1.14.oliNex. so i immediatly assumed that it meant i had to go to step one of your guide, 1.07.OliNex - go to step (1)

1.14.0000 or 1.15.0000 - go to step (5)

1.54.0000 - go to step (6). so i supposedly succesfully carried out step 1 t0 2. and the problem began on step 3, were i downloaded the followinf files-

Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex

Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.

now the instructions state-(3) Run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe from the HardSPL download in step (1b).and when i click on hardspl it immediatly opens the rom update tool asking me to update the rom but i actually want to change the SPL but i dont get such an option at all please what am i doing wrong here my problem lies with attempting to change SPL WHAT ON EARTH AM I DOING WRONG BEEN STRUGLING FOR HOURS
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:
im stuck on 5(d) any help what do i type in the DOs looking screen?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
It is going to say Rom Update Utility when you run the HSPL utility. So, run it, but before you click any buttons in the window that pops up, you have to replace the .nbh file in the directory where you downloaded HSPL with the stock SPL's .nbh file that you downloaded.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You need to CD (change directory) to wherever you have USPL downloaded and extracted. For example, if BLAC_USPL.exe is located on your C:\Users\crackwhore\desktop\uspl folder then if you are unfamiliar with dos do this:

- In the command window, type CD \

- Then type cd "c:\users\crackwhore\desktop\uspl" (this is an example, you need to type the location where you extracted USPL to)

- The directory should change. Once in that directory type blac_uspl

- USPL should run
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chinnyman:
ok ive done that , and the screen says SPL 1.15. USPL, but it hasnt rebooted? I does say USB at the bottom. I disconnected and reloaded then it went back to 1.14. So i re did the dos thing and here i am stuck at SPL 1.15. USPL, with no auto reboot!!

First time I can't get an Olinex HSPL flashed

using XP

Touch HD using WM6.1 with standard HSPL 1.54

Running RUU directly from PC, error 202

Strange I get this error while I am connected to Activesync?

From bootloader 0% error 262 on PC , softwareset back to 6.1

Directly on a PC USB port didn't helped.

Going to restart my PC and if I am not able to do the HSPL I will use the troubleshooting option, manual copy SSPL.

Worked for me! Let's flash a new nice fast ROM:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Just for your info, you aren't supposed to be connected via activesync. Phone should be in bootloader and only connected by usb cable, no need to sync it. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. This is probably why you received your error
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hendrixus:
Well, that's possible. As I wrote.I also tried from the bootloader which didn't work either. Same problem. But the case was solved.

What if there is no serial in the bootloader?

I used the flashing guide before (HSPL), and it worked like a charm, but in the meantime my phone went dead and had to be sent to repairs - without reverting to stock SPL/rom ;). O2 Germany fixed it without complaining and I have a new ROM (which I would keep if it wasn't German :s). However, now when I enter the bootloader mode, to try the USPL flashing, it just hangs saying "Loading...". "Serial" doesn't appear, and it doesn't react to plugging in the USB cable. SPL version is 1.54. Installed RGD values are:

R 1.12.25.16D3

G 52.60.23.33H

D 1.57.47324

Any clues? I though of the SSPL, but didn't dare to do it without getting a firm pat on the back go proceed. :) Any help is more then welcome.

Communication Error flashing cooked ROM - 0%

Hello Everybody, I’m a first time poster and first time flasher.

I’m still using the original shipped ROM and I’m trying to flash Xannytech’s ROM GRID LEO 2.4D on my HTC Touch HD, and could really use your expertise in this matter.

I gathered all the information I could, and then tried one time, without success, to flash the ROM using USPL . I think I followed every step thoroughly and still ended up with a communications error and the progress bar sticking at 0% (luckily, nothing happened and managed to restart the phone, but got a bit scared to try again without doing some more research). Here’s what I did: I’m using Windows 7 x64…so i installed Windows Mobile Device Center and disabled USB transfer, disabled Norton 360, restarted the machine and did the F8 thing to continue with unsigned driver installation and checked the two mentioned connectivity services (they were already started). Meanwhile, i had put the phone into bootloader mode and saw that it had SPL 1.54.0000, so I only needed to follow the guide from step USPL 5 onwards. I downloaded all the utilities to a folder and ran USPL.exe, at which time it couldn’t communicate with the phone, so I proceeded to update the USB Sync driver. In doing this, I had some issues and had the infamous error code 10, but in the end it seemed that the driver had been correctly updated…unplugged the phone, plugged it, ran USPL.exe again and now it could connect to the phone. Clicked the ‘Run USPL’ and now the phone was in bootloader mode with SPL 1.15.USPL and USB a the bottom.

Then, instead of using BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe, I used the one that shipped with the cooked ROM. All the files were in the same folder, and I got to the point where the progress bars appeared on both the phone and the application, saying it would take aprox. 10 mins. It must have taken about 5 or more mins, and was still at 0%, when it displayed the error in communications. I got a bit freaked fearing my phone was damaged …but it recovered ok with a hard reset. Can someone please help me, and tell me what I’m doing wrong ? Thanks in advance.

I’m a bit afraid that the phone might get stuck in the tri-color screen (or something like that) if I try again…
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vdude_1:
Never mind. I followed the method in the HSPL thread, flashing to 1.14 Olinex first, followed 1.56 and I'm all dandy
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vdude_1:
What error code did you get? Did you check the error troubleshooting post linked to in the first post?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
From what you have explained above it seems you are doing everything correctly, although I've always only used hspl. As vdude explained, depending on the error code you get there may be different courses of action. The common one is error 262, for which you just need to restart the phone, place back in bootloader and try running uspl again.

If you still can't come right you can try going the hspl route.

In the Settings\Connections\Advanced Network - on the HSDPA/USUPA tab you only have O2??????? I have the following options - Disabled, HSDPA only, or HSDPA and HSUPA. Are you sure you are looking in the right place, ie NOT IN THE MANILA TAB, but in the Settings Folder. If the Settings icon in the start menu takes you to the Settings tab then press Menu\All Settings. The other place to look is under Start\Settings\Personal\Phone\Band and choose Auto for both options.

What I was explaining in the previous post is that I wanted you to rerun the Connection Setup (Start\Settings\Connections\Connection Setup), yes for O2, so that perhaps it will setup the 3G option.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rooney123:
:o found Settings\Connections\Advanced Network - on the HSDPA/USUPA tab - "HSDPA/USUPA" selected.

You change a radio the same way you flash a rom, i.e. use either USPL or HSPL and flash the radio .nbh file. Radio files can be found in this thread or in the wiki
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rooney123:
maybe can someone can explain step by step???

me + htc touch hd = dummie
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
From the thread Fallen Spartan directed you to:

That is pretty much a step by step guide.

You have a choice of 3 or 4 different radios, so try them out and see which one works best for you. Download the file, unpack and copy the .nbh file to your sd card and follow the steps above. Once you find the one that works best for you, install the matching rilphone cab for the radio you selected.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rooney123:
how to do that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Rilphones can be found in cab format near bottom of first post in thread I provided link to earlier, i.e. this one. Works best if you match ril to radio, i.e. 1.13 radio to 1.13 ril. Unfortunately 1.14 is the latest ril, so if your going to use 1.17 radio, then use 1.14 ril

how to upgrade spl from 1.4 to 1.56??

what recommended for newbie uspl or hspl??

my PC os is windows 7
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
The steps are all explained in the first few posts. Read and ask questions where you are not certain.

Whether to go uspl or hspl is a matter of choice. USPL is a temporary solution which needs to be run each time you want to flash. HSPL is a more long lasting solution, you do it once and can then flash over and over without having to do anything special. The relative pro's and con's are explained in the beggining of this thread.

It will work on Windows 7.
