[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Havok316uk:
Hi all ive finally resolved all problems after spending 5 hours last night. Il make a detailed write up on how I done it hopefully today or tomorrow.

<<< WATCH THIS SPACE >>>

1. Download the files below (the arrows point to the path to extract to so it co-operates with the tutorial below)

#### the folders below wont exist so you will need to create them ####

RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip >>>> COPY ZIP TO FOLDER >>>> c:\HSPL

HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip >>>> EXTRACT TO FOLDER >>>> c:\HSPL

USPL GUI v 2.5.zip >>> EXTRACT TO FOLDER >>> USPL

<<YOUR ROM DOWNLOAD>> >>>> EXTRACT TO FOLDER >>>> c:\ROM

2. extract the following files into the folders specified (easier to explain on my tutorial) to your pc or laptop

3. Start your PDA into Bootloader mode by powering off the unit, hold the volume down and hold the power button until the unit turns on with blue reg green screen.

4. Connect the USB cable to the PDA and Computer. (at the bottom of the screen should appear the word USB)

5. Proceed with the USB Driver Installation found HERE

6. Open ActiveSync or (vista users open windows mobile device centre, you can find this easily by clicking start amd typing "mobile" in the search box) and disable USB connections.

7. Open the folder called C:\USPL (found in my computer local disk C: by default) and double click on the USPL.EXE

8. You will now see a window appear titled USPL GUI v2.5. You now have 2 options. Click RUN USPL. You will now see a load of connection attempts happen on the window. Yout PDA will now reboot into bootloader with version 1.15.00 showing at the top. If successful you will get a message appear on screen saying ....happy flashing.

9. Go into my computer, local disk C: and open the folder called HSPL and double click on HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and DO NOT CLICK anything on the opening window simply move aside or minimise.

10. Within the folder HSPL open the zip file called RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip and extract the contents to the same folder C:\HSPL overwriting existing file.

11. Bring up the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe window and tick the box and click next. At the bottom it should say you want to update the SPL to 1.54. Click update and follow instructions.

12. The PDA will start to flash the SPL.

NOW TO INSTALL THE ROM

repeat the above process from 1 to 9.

9a. Locate the folder called ROM in my computer and local disk C:. Right click on BLACIMG.nbh and click Copy.

9b. Locate the folder called HSPL and open it. Click on the edit menu (vista users click Organise) and click paste.

9c. Bring up the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe window and tick the box and click next. At the bottom it should say you want to update with new ROM. Click update and follow instructions.

9d. The phone will now flash the rom and then the process is finished.

I came across some troubleshooting problems which il update on here to help hopefully in the next day or so.

Troubleshooting

Q. After I finished the flash process my screens colours are all messed up and my boot text is all fuzzy.

A. You extracted the ROM file into the HSPL folder before you flashed the PDA with SPL 1.54. If you check your bootloader for an SPL version other than 1.54. if you have made this mistake repeat the process reading carefully.

Q. The device manager doesnt show my PDA in there?

A. This is correct. Your PDA will appear in the Device Manager when in bootloader. If this doesnt then you havent installed the USB Driver correctly. Please note the driver date is 2004
