After restarting the device and going to bootloader mode

its back to SPL 1.54.

Tried doing the trick with HSPL from page 1 and it won't load.

The damned thing is cursed, must be in the name, i will try an exorcist now.......

Besides this, i'm very pleased with the Blackstone!

Can i just run the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex

And then flash the miri rom in BlackstoneRUUWrapper?

I hope you can help me

thnx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bnr034:
Im having this really weird problem ...

So i started flashing last night

followin the flash for dummies guide i got upto step 6

which is the point where i can flash the custom rom( dutty 3.0)

when i started the flashin it just stucks on 0%..... then i followed the recovery guide pull the the battery blah blah blah....

now i cannot boot into windows any more for some weird reason, the only thing i can do now is boot into the bootloader screen

which says Blac 100 32M

SPL - 1.54. 0000

MicroP - Blackstone

i tried using USPL flashing to 1.54.0000 again onto it it still wouldnt let me boot into windows... all i get when i press the power button nothin happens...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
The HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex will update your SPL so that you can flash unsigned / cooked 1.56 roms and not have green screen issues. Is the rom you want to load based on the HTC 1.56 rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Have you gotten it sorted it out yet?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dodger:
Nope,

I gave up.....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you still want to get it working PM me and we can do it one day over AIM/MSN.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] drhoros:
strange behavior

I followed the steps, but could not apply USPL. It always stuck with SPL 1.15, never went to 1.56. I flashed a 156 build (miri 8.2 standard) and i got to very wierd screen coulour (lik 256 coulors). Then I did HardSPL and now my phone perfectly works again :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vinaymieux:
First try at ROM upgrade

I tried to upgrade my stock ROM to miri's 6.5 v8.1 premium.

I had SPL 1.14 on my HD so i first loaded the HSPL- Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip; and then tried to upgrade with your ROM by dragging the 'ruu_signed.nbh' into 'BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe' (as i saw in some video), but the upgrade utility gave me the following error; so i downloaded and loaded the 'HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip' on the phone thinking that might be the problem, but then again i'm getting the same problem upgrading the ROM.

What am I doing wrong?? How to fix??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dvlek1:
Yes it is

The miri page says

Please note that these versions are fully compatible with SPL 1.54 and totally based on ROM 1.56

No I have 1.14olinex installed.

So Can i just run the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex

And then flash the miri rom in BlackstoneRUUWrapper?

Thnx for you're help cRaCKwHoRe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Correct. Just flash the new HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex) and then flash the rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Don't do this. All you have to do is place the .nbh file in the same directory as the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe. Once that is done just run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow the instructions.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dvlek1:
Ok, thnx you so much.

I wasn't because at the first page they are say that you have to restore you're stock rom and stuff like that.

So If I do this I can flash every 1.56 rom?

Thnx cRaCKwHoRe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vinaymieux:
SUCCEEDED!!

Thanks a Lot!! :-D

I feel so stupid not trying that ;-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Correct ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mouzetc:
Finally I managed to flash it to the cooked version.

Wasnt able to open the BLAC_USPL.exe, gave me the error that the device was not connected. Tried serveral things like updating USB drivers and in the end gave it a hard reset. And yeah, that did the job!

http://www.hardreset.eu/htc_touch_hd_hard_reset_soft_reset_en.html

Keep up the good work man :) Just got my HD and its a sick phone comming form a LG Shine hehe.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mheefoo:
Thank you so much for this Thread. I'm newbie here. It took me half night to finish it. However, I will not able to finish this wihtout this helpful Thread. Thank thank

P.S. This is my first reply too:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Amp34:
Ok, I have tried flashing my phone to the new Dutty ROM but i'm not getting anywhere.

I have not flashed my phone before so it has the standard ROM on (reading the guide that means I don't need to do any of the previous steps (2,3+4)) (having said that I seem to have missed 5 out which could explain some of the problems...)

So anyway how do I "load the rom onto my phone"?

Could someone please explain how to do that? I can do step 6, loading USPL up and getting SPL v 1.15.USPL with the USB at the bottom. I assume after that I need to load "blacstone RUU wrapper" from duttys folder to flash the phone properly? I assume I don't need to use the "RUU_Signed.nbh"?

(Also is this site super slow for everyone else today?)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes, the site is being quite slow for me today as well. That aside, the first thing you need to do is check what SPL version you have. Quoted from my guide:

The next thing to do is check what your SPL version currently is. To do this, place your phone into its bootloader. If you need to know how look down a bit at step (4a). If it shows your SPL as:

1.07.OliNex or 1.14.OliNex - go to step (1)

1.14.0000 or 1.15.0000 - go to step (5)

1.54.0000 - go to step (6)

What is your SPL version? If you are still below 1.54.0000 then you either need to:

(1) Flash HSPL 1.56 and flash Dutty's rom OR

(2) If you don't want to flash HSPL then you have to flash the latest HTC 1.56 or 1.57 rom to update your SPL to 1.54.0000, then run USPL and flash Dutty's rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Amp34:
Thanks

SPL version at the moment is 1.14.0000. So how do I flash the latest 1.56 rom? I assumed updating to USPL was the way of flashing the rom.

So the order I do it in is:

Stick USPL on, use an updater to update to 1.56 then stick USPL on again to update to Duttys rom? Nothing else?

Do I use the RUU_Signed.nbh?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You can do it that way. You don't technically have to use USPL to flash the original HTC 1.56 rom unless your phone has a different CID than the particular HTC rom you are trying to flash (the RUU will say "invalid vendor ID" if you try to flash a rom with mis-matching CID's).

Once you flash the original HTC 1.56 rom just run USPL again and flash Dutty's rom with the Blackstone_RUUWrapper.exe.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Amp34:
Ahah, that did it, thanks. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tboy2000:
I installed previous Dutty 3 xt rom and want to upgrade to the latest 3.1 rom but I am stuck at 0% always. I had no problem before and did all the steps in the fist post to flash to previous dutty 1.56 rom so why can't I do it this time?

Do I need to do something else first?

All I am doing is putting the phone in bootloader, connected vis usb, running BlackstoneRUUWrapper. Have I missed a step?

Am running vista and upgraded usb drivers before on 3.0 rom.

UPDATE: Working now. I didn't realise I had to run USPL first before trying to flash Dutty's rom.

To clarify for anyone else in similar problem, if flashing is stuck at 0% and you have 1.54 spl, you HAVE to run USPL FIRST and then flash a 3rd Party Rom. Every single time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryahia:
CrackWhore,

I appreciate your efforts on writing up this guide...I followed it explicity and it is very thorough. I am stuck at step 5e and my screen shows SPL v 1.15.USPL. When I go to step 6 I keep running the USPL2.5 and it does not upgrade my SPL to 1.54 as shown in your guide. Any advice? Am I missing something? I am not sure what to do next.

Thanks in advance...

--Edit: never mind...I re-read the instructions again and ran uspl before I ran the new HTC rom and then I saw the 1.54. Thanks again for a great guide!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rayone:
I had Olinex 1.14 HSPL.

This is how I upgrade:

1.- Downloaded Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip > RUU_signed.nbh

2.- Renamed to BLACIMG.nbh

3.- Copied to miniSD

4.- Started in Bootloader mode

5.- Downloaded original 1.14 ROM

6.- Extacted RUU_signed.nbh

7.- Renamed to BLACIMG.nbh

8.- Copied to miniSD

9.- Started in Bootloader mode

10.- Downloaded original 1.56 ROM

11.- Extacted RUU_signed.nbh

12.- Renamed to BLACIMG.nbh

13.- Copied to miniSD

14.- Started in Bootloader mode

All done.

Hello !

I have KASPERSKY AV 8.0.0.454 French and i must deactivate it if i want to launch USPL v2.5 because it consider it is MultiPacked.Multi.Generic and KAV want to delete USPL v2.5 !!! It have done it a first time and i have downloaded a new time USPL v2.5 to update to RUU_BlackStone_Duttys_WWE_V3.1_XT and i have deactivate KAV a new time...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spicefabry:

i have not seen anywere how to deal with my spl version ( 1.13 ).

Please help.

mai i use uspl in stand of changing spl?

there is any limitation?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yeah some antivirus software see USPL as a false virus... just temporarily disable your antivirus and voila! :)

If you are on SPL 1.13.xxxx you need to follow through the guide as if you had 1.14.xxxx. That being said, you can start at step (5) of the guide. Let me know how it goes.

I have Olinex 1.14 HSPL and I want to flash the rom with 1.56

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nomatech:
cRaCKwHoRe,

I have installed the new Dutty's 3.2 and all is ok but i must deactivate my internet connection and my Kaspersky to run USPL... is it possible to reinstall HSPL for the next versions... it is more easy ;o))

What must i do ?

Thank you for your help (and also dor the Dummies guide for flashing 1.56+ roms) ! It is difficult for me to understand rapidly all in english (i don't think in english, i translate the phrases...)

I would like to translate the dummies guide in french (with the help of a friend who is good in english, not like me)... It could be my contribution... are you ok ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadephenix:
Done everything, still color-messed-screen...

Hello everybody!

First of all, thanks for this guide, thanks for the rom's, I can just say: YOU GUYS ROCK THE HOUS OF HOUSES!

It's awesome to have guys like you out there!!! :D

But I wanna cry! :(

I followed the guide step by step, had esspecially issues with steps (5d), uspl didn't work (forgot to disable usb connection in ActiveSync), and (6a), updating stuck on 0%.

Eventually, I made it (I was so happy! spent half of the night and the whole morning to get through this fight for a better UI).

So, in bootloader mode, there's SPL-1.15.USPL written, and I run the RUU for Dutty's HD V3.1 (I hope the problem doesn't lie in the not-compatibility of this version). My heart started to beat faster when I saw the 100%. When the "Smart Mobility" screen showed up, I looked it in the face as if it was my ennemy :mad:, and I "yanked" the battery out, hoping to avoid further problems.

But... BUT!!! Pressing VolDown, VolUp, and the Power button didn't work, no screen telling me it would reset to manufacturer settings :confused:. First thought "Oh my! ..." I try it again... Nothing... Ok, then, let's start the device, maybe it'll work... No boy, same messed up screen as before I found the guide. :(

You are my last hope! Please, have mercy, and help me get out of this hell! (Ok, I may exaggerate a bit here...)

EDIT

: I managed to do a hard reset (HOLD VolUp and VolDown buttons while pressing power button, and continue on holding VolUp and VolDown! I didn't understand that when I first read the guide! How stupid...). So again, I did uspl, RUU.exe (Dutty's HD V3.1), hard reset, still messed up screen! AAAAAAAAAAAh!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Sounds like you want to go the HSPL route. In this case, just run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to flash your SPL to the new HSPL 1.56.oliNex. Don't do anything with .nbh files. Once this is done you can simply flash any cooked 1.56-based rom.

Edit: Forgot to say- if you want to translate it, sure!

It sounds like you're already up and running with the latest HTC SPL 1.54.0000. If you want to flash HSPL to make it easier to load roms in the future just download HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex and flash it. It will only overwrite your SPL and everything else will remain the same. Then in the future when you want to flash a rom all you do is just that. You won't have to use USPL anymore since you would already be using a "hacked" SPL.

Quick question... what is your SPL right now if you put it into the bootloader without running USPL? It sounds like you have the wrong SPL on your device... did you flash the original HTC 1.56 rom to your phone so that it upgrades your SPL to 1.54.0000?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadephenix:
As 1.56 didn't load (Vendor ID error), I updated the 1.14, so before the USPL the version was 1.14.0000.

But now I managed to install the 1.56 rom, by runing USPL before installing it, and now indeed SPL is 1.54.0000.*

So, what do I have to do next?

I'm so excited! I wonder if one day I'll manage to get through this. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Now that you're on the right SPL just run USPL again and then flash your desired cooked rom (giving that is a 1.56-based rom of course).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadephenix:
Aha! So Dutty's HD V3.1 based on a 1.56 rom won't work!!!

Okay, I got it!

What do I have to do to make it work then ? V3.1 is a 1.57-based rom.

Do I need to install a 1.57 rom, run USPL and then install the HD V3.1 XT ?

PS: Man, next time better then getting headaches of trying to make work a thing for hours and hours, I'll spend ONE whole hour to read a guide in order to catch every single information, like "

(1f) A 1.56 based rom

"...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Sorry let me clarify. I think I may have confused you. Dutty's 3.1 will work on your phone. Right now if you are running the HTC SPL 1.54.0000 you can run any rom based on the HTC 1.56 rom or above (1.56, 1.57, etc).

Therefore, you can run any of Dutty's roms that are version 2.7+. If you are wanting to flash Dutty's 3.1 you may want to wait. He just recently released 3.2 and is about to release 3.3 (his now final, and bug-free release).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadephenix:
Awesome!!!

So it'll work!

Guess I'll just install the 3.1, try it out, and then install the 3.3.

Thank you again!!!

I'm through it!

Well, let's not start su... Man, I was about to tell bad things (for those who know Pulp Fiction.)

I say this 'cause I need to install it now!

Thanks, thanks and thanks!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Welcome friend ;) Enjoy!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shadephenix:
Allright, now we can s**k each other's d**ks!

Thanks again!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scar88:
hi crackwhore would you reccomend flashinging the 1.56 shipped rom first before flashing a shipped rom? ive noticed in the wiki there is a 1.57 shipped rom shall i do that 1 instead of the 1.56 shipped 1 would it make a difference?, and also is it ok to flash str8 from the SD card after ive done all the olinex stuff coz thats how i normally flash
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Ah, you don't want to use the wizard. You need to make sure you are telling Windows that you have want to select from a list of devices and that you have "Have Disk". Once you browse to the location where the driver is located this method forces Windows to take the driver you are throwing at it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you are planning on running a cooked rom in the end, then it doesn't really matter which one you flash. From reading your post, it looks like you're running the new HSPL (1.56)? If this is true then you can really skip flashing any original HTC roms if you wanting to run a cooked rom in the end anyway. As long as your current SPL is 1.54 or higher you can flash any 1.56-based rom or higher.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mitut:
Thanx for your help i now can install the driver but still got the same error :((

After installed the driver it asked me to restart my computer. I unplug myphone and reset it to bootloader mode.

I then connect my phone to my computer and do a uspl it still showed me the same result as before :( cannot opend usb port smt.

I usually used HSPL before and this is the first time i used USPL. Is it the reason for this ??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scar88:
thanks for that ran the olinex thing and then flashed a cooked rom works fine, thanks for the thread its made flashing newer roms so much easier as i usually Kring when i see technical jargon
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Are you plugging your phone directly into your computer or into a USB hub? If it is directly into your computer have you tried another USB port? If it's in a hub, plug it in directly to your computer.

Having HSPL on their previously shouldn't have any effect of USPL being able to communicate with your device. What SPL do you currently have in your bootloader?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Avalun:
I Updated directly from 1.07.OliNex to 1.56.OliNex without any steps between, that did work, then I installed Duttys 3.3 from 2.6, everything worked fine.

OS Vista64 and installed the usb drivers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
That is a valid process. Glad you had no issues ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mitut:
it was 1.14 olinex.

i dont' know if this is the problem with usb port because if i use that port with hspl it works fine for me :(

for uspl on screen it show me "usb" after i connect to phone.

Hey there every1!

I'm probably the least experienced user here but I need some help sorting out this ROM prob I have.

I just got a replacement for a faulty Touch HD and it looks like the network have messed around with the ROM installing their own crap software.

I have no idea what's going on, all i know is that i want to get it back to being without Orange UK's software.

I downloaded the new ROM from HTC's website but i just keep getting an error message saying "RUU_Blackstone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship" is not a valid Pocket PC application".

What can I do?

Is there anyway someone can give this complete know-nothing a helping hand?

I would really appreciate anyone's assistance.

Re. Shafted

Thanks cRaCKwHoRe

I tried to do it via the pc while the phone was connected through usb. I kept getting an error message "294". That also happened when I tried to follow the guide you wrote at the begining of the thread. I'm currently running rom version 1.19.61.1_wwe.

Could the ROM I'm using be causing the problem or are their steps I need to take prior to attempting to flash the phone with RUU_Blackstone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405_Radio_52.62.25.34 _1.13.25.24_Ship or the ones you list in step 1?

After reading the guide a bit more carefully i needed to go to step 5 as i have SPL-1.14 0000 installed already. After extraction of v.25 uspl, I tried to load BLAC_USPL.exe. A command screen appears and disapears instantly.

What should i do?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Try this link.

Have you gone through updating the driver for the HTC USB Sync as in step (0) of my guide? Also, run BLAC_USPL.exe from a command prompt window so the application doesn't disappear after it runs. That way you can read the text displayed by the application.
