First of all you will need .NET installed if you do not have it already. I would recommend .NET 3.5. You can download it from Microsoft here.

Do you have .NET 3.5 installed on your computer?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bruns86:
Oke... I missed this piece!!! I thought I did read it all!! Sorry!! :confused:

Thank you!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you put your phone in the bootloader right now and plug it in to your computer via USB cable, does it show USB at the bottom? What SPL version shows?

If you can get it to show USB when it's in the bootloader then run USPL on it. The phone should "reboot" and go back into the bootloader showing SPL 1.15.USPL. If so, does it show USB again? If not, just unplug the USB cable and plug it back in.

With the phone showing SPL 1.15.USPL and USB you will be able to successfully flash HSPL. Or you can do it with Manual SSPL but you said you couldn't get it to work...

If you still can't get it resolved and have MSN or AIM, PM me your screen name and I'll help you out.

Hi all,

I've a problem similar to the one of Helza. I tryed HSPL and UPSL procedure but I'm always stuck at 0% bar (error 262 comunication) on the touch hd. I've tried both on vista and xp os (with complete detailed provcedure). My mobile is an italian brand version, with spl 1.13 and I think the error is related to that. The only thing I didn't try is manual olinex 1.07, but I wanted to do uspl and I don't know if it would work. Thanks in advance for your help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
at what point did you get the communication error? Updating of the stock SPL 1.54, or updating of the custom ROM?

if it's the former, have you tried running USPL on your device first before running the RUU to update the SPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What zenkinz said is correct. Your stock SPL is blocking you from flashing. You need to use USPL or manual SSPL first before running the RUU.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Helza:
success :)

Arg i just noticed that it said SPL 1.54.0000. so i should have skipped to step uspl5 :).. stupid me :(..

sorry about that..

ran USPL gui and it worked :)

thanx for the help and sorry for wasting your time :P

Great information it really make things alot easier for those uninformed ..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Glad you got it sorted out Helza :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
haha .. one more happy custom-rom camper :) :D

Stuck at 1.14

Hi!

Did the mistake of flashing dutty's 3.9 without upgrading hspl to 1.56 first (had 1.14 before with dutty 2.4). I get the blurry green screen and no response from the phone when loading windows. I put it bootloader and ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex and everything works as it should, but after 100% upgrade the hspl is still 1.14. I have tried to do this 5-6 times but with the same result.

I have tried to read all posts in this thread but couldn't find an answer. Sorry if this is a repeated question but i´m stuck and in need of some help.

Btw, using vista 32, and the dutty blackimg is still on the memory card.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
just use uspl to flash stock spl 1.54.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bathyon:
It seems to work!

Just followed "USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000)" in post 3 on the first page. After that it works and dutty 3.9 is there without anything else done with the phone!

I'm very grateful! Big thanks zenkinz!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] naruto8019:
(USPL3c) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from the download in step (USPL1a) and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from. This is where the phone stops working (but it's the same for hspl) "error 262"... Should I go for hspl and try manual sspl?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
well if u want to put stock 1.54 then run hspl wrapper 1.56.exe.

dont do anything on the ruu and wait for the files to extract in the window from where u ran the wrapper.

then paste the stock ruu_signed.nbh into the extracted folder allowing it to over write..

this will help u get back stock 1.54.

but to do this initially ull need either hspl installed or will need to run the uspl before doing it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
you did not put your phone in USPL mode before you flash the stock rom

take alook at the first video from this link
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] naruto8019:
Also for the "uspl procedure"?.. Tnx for the help:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Atraeh:
Hey everyone!

This has probably been asked / answered a gazillion of times by now, but, I didn't find much with the search option. Anyway:

If I flash a cooked rom with the USPL route.. How do I get the stock rom back if I would feel like it?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
yes it is in the first video as well.

If you still do not understand after watching the video, just post and ask.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
if you still have stock spl, which is

possible if you use uspl method, you can

just flash stock rom using the files from

htc website.

actually you can do so with hard spl

as well, just that you have additional step to flash back stock

spl.

When trying to update the USB driver...

I'm about to attempt this driver update, but I have a conflict with your instructions.

Your instructions hint that there should be a 32-bit folder and a 64-bit folder inside the drivers.zip file. I just see 6 individual files. Is it okay to proceed with extracting all six files to a single folder and updating the driver with the wceusbsh.inf file?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yadie87:
hello to all.

I'm very new to flashing ROM and have been flashing cooked ROM for 3 days now.

But unfortunately they were an unsuccessfull attempt.

My current ROM is a shipped ROM:

ROM version : 1.14.401.3 (22273) WWE

ROM date : 10/24/08

Radie Version : 1.09.25.14

Protocol version : 52.49a.25.26U

My desktop running on Vista Ultimate and i'm using WMDC.

I already tried every procedured that i think exist in this forum:

1. unable USB connection

2. closed all anti-virus/firewall etc2

3. had followed properly all steps for both HSPL and USPL (when HSPL was not success)

But it still doesn't work. It freezed out in bootloader at 0% (during update using 1.56 Olinex file) and shows message: Error 262. Update Error (or sumthg like that)

My device is unlocked. (I can use any sim card i want since i got my HD. Or was i wrong and need to supercid my HD?) :confused:

I tried updating ROM via SD (SDHC to be specific. And i read somewhere that certain SD card cannot be used for flashing). It's still the same. Stuck at bootloader and only shows the word "Loading..." without any progress. I already changed the *.nbh file to BLACIMG.nbh and put it on root. And my SD card has been formatted to FAT32.

Then i changed to my laptop, which is running on windows XP. Used activesync 4.5. Installed .35 NETFramework. UNINSTALLED my anti-virus and disabled my firewall. Followed all the steps for both HSPL and USPL. Still, the problem persist. Stuck at bootloader (same, during executing olinex 1.56) with 0% and 262 error message popped out.

Already updated my USB for USPL.

Still didn't try mtty.exe since my HD is not bricked yet. And still not sure myself how to use it.

It really has been a 3-frustating days for me. :(

Need some advice if i still lacking on something. Really2 want to update my out-dated ROM. Thanks.

*Please pardon my bad english. :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
it looks like you have not put your phone into USPL mode first (i.e. run blac_uspl.exe or the GUI version of USPL) before you update the stock spl 1.54.

check the first video in this link
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ModernMuseum:
hrmm...I used 7-zip and they were separated into their correct folders.

I re-updated the usb drivers, updated to microsoft 3.5 sp1 .net framework, and re-tried to no avail. I keep getting stuck at 0% progress when trying to flash the 1.54 SPL before being sent into the Recovery mode.

I must be missing a critical step here, because this isn't working AT ALL.

I've upgraded the ROM via USPL many, many times, so I'm not sure what I'm missing. I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe my current SPL is 1.14, if that helps.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ModernMuseum:
Any suggestions? Should I try the HSPL method to flash to the 1.56 SPL?

I'm not sure I can execute something from my phone since I have the skewed colors...I can only get it to crank up in 1 out of 4 tries or so.

Please help...I'll try anything.

I know I'm getting communication between the phone and the PC because it changes to the gray screen, but stops at 0% progress (no error codes). Maybe the USB drivers didn't update correctly?

The only other thing that I can think of concerns step 2 of the SPL update program, which states that I need an activesync connection. When in boot loader mode, the little icon in the system tray doesn't turn green like it normally does when the phone is turned on and plugged in.

edit: zenkinz - looks like I have a similar problem to what you have, but I'm not getting any error codes. There's no way I'm trying this on my gf's Touch HD without repairing mine first.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
your problem is what I have encountered before. no error code but it does return error about having problem communicating with the device. Just put your device back into bootloader mode, run USPL, and then reflash again everything else will work fine!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ModernMuseum:
Can you please expand on this? I thought I have tried everything. What exactly do you mean "run USPL?" Reflash what?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
follow the first video in this link

after you put the phone into USPL, carry on with your ROM flash (stock SPL flash or custom ROM flash)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yadie87:
Wow.. missed that one. Thanx a lot mate!! But instead of opening windows command, i just used GUI v2.5 attached by crackwhore. Thanx again. At last. My 1st flashing.. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
yes I'm a command person :D :D

glad it works for you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yin0:
hi well im totally new to this stuff.

i messaged some one about his touch hd having TouchFlo3D in landscape on the forum and he told me that i have to flash my ROM.

so if u whould follow all there steps and succecfully flash my ROM do i have TF3D in landscape when i flip it sideways?

Help me plz :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ModernMuseum:
Damn, video is blocked at work :\

Concerning this step,

(a) With your phone connected to your PC via USB cable, open up a command window and run the command “blac_uspl.exe“. This will put your phone in USPL mode. If you are not successful in getting your phone into USPL mode, please refer to this link to update your USB driver.

which command window do I open? MSDOS? I'm guessing I have to type in the path to blac_uspl.exe ? Can't I just execute it from windows?

Do I need to have the phone fully booted up first?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ModernMuseum:
Hrmm...I think I may have figured out the problem...for some reason my computer isn't recognizing the device when the phone is in bootloader mode.

I think there was an issue with updating the USB driver, even though I performed it several times to make sure I got it right. Since I'm using my work PC, it may not be overwriting the files in the windows directory. Not sure...

When the phone is in bootloader mode, the little ActiveSync icon isn't turning green, i.e. will not recognize the device unless the phone is fully powered up.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] doran_lum:
I just check my phone and it's SPL-1.14.0liNex and have been loading many types of ROM.

Can I upgrade to the below as show to post 2?

Also would like to ask can I just swtich to USPL shown on post 3 ?

If you wish to use HSPL and it shows your current SPL as:

Anything but 1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL1) on post 2

1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL4) on post 2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
make sure the usb setting in your activesync is turned off. your activesync shouldn't be connecting at all, and preventing your ruu or uspl to connect to your phone at bootloader mode.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
The custom roms that are available now are based on the HTC 1.56 rom or higher version. That being said, they require an SPL of 1.54.000 or higher (1.56.olinex is compatible). You either need to upgrade to the new HSPL (1.56.olinex) or the stock HTC SPL 1.54.0000 before you flash a new rom.

Are you using USPL method?

You need to use USPL before every flash to rom or radio as its temporary only.

What does your SPL say in bootloader?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sexpest:
UPSL?!?!?!

Does anyone know if i can upgrade to duttys new v3 6.5 rom using the above method (UPSL) or is there anything else i need to be aware of. Recently flashed v3.9xt brilliant. Tutorial worked great. Any help very much appreciated! thankds Damien
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Just reuse USPL and then flash Throy's R3 WM6.5 rom. Works fine mate

hello. i never flashed before so when i try to flash my phone to 1.54.0000 i follow your steps but i get stuck at 0% and eventualy get error 262.

no matter what i do (update usb drivers) i always get stucked here.

any advice. i was scroling through pages and you mentioned "The stock SPL is preventing you from flashing an unsigned rom onto the device as a "security feature". how do i go around that.

thank you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Try running USPL before you run the RUU to flash to 1.54.0000:

1. Place phone in bootloader

2. Connect via USB

3. Run USPL

4. Phone should "reboot" and show SPL 1.15.USPL

5. Run RUU and flash new SPL 1.54.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dark000:
tnx that worked like a charm :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chewdiggy:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dilinja:
I should have been on sooner to talk about this but work commitments got in the way.

I never thought I'd be saying thank you to a crackwhore but in this instance, he deserves every praise available. Helped me out from start to finish despite being at work at the time, got my phone sorted with the latest Dutty Rom and even had time to talk to me about the benefits of M$ Voice Command!

Absolute legend, and more than worthy of mod status.

Cheers CW, I really appreciated all your help.

Hi,

Im a newb. What does really "Place your phone into its bootloader" mean?

What is the bootloader?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bthelastman:
(HSPL4d) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says..."

How do i hard reset? Is the reset the same as taken out the battery? Then turn it back on by holding volume up and down button and power? And should i press volup or other to cancel?

Kinda confusing.

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KayK:
this is what i understand from cRaCKwHoRe's excellent guide:

once you have successfully flashing your device will automatically boots up, thus you will see the "Smart Mobility" screen (just like when you turn on your device when using stock ROM). Once you sees this screen, just take out the battery to completely off the device before it can even start booting up the new ROM. Then do the hard reset step (by holding the volume down and up button and press power button). When performing a hard reset, a message will pop up stating "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Just press volume up button to continue...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
To put your phone into bootloader:

1. Turn phone off

2. Hold the volume down button

3. Continue to hold volume down and press power on

You will be presented with tri-colour screen. This is bootloader screen.

To hard reset:

1. Turn phone off

2. Hold the volume down & volumer up button

3. Continue to hold both volume down & volume up and press power on.

You will be presented with white screen with the following text "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings". Press Volume up to restore manufacturer defaults (hard reset).

Tried doing this but running into problems...

Firstly I get error 262 when trying to run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex

So I tried running SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe on the device but get the following error: "The file sspl-manual-touchhd.exe cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring file."

Anybody have any idea?

Thank you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If manual SSPL doesn't work you can also use USPL to the same effect.

Hi

I just got my blackstone, and i want to flash the phone to the energy rom.

Can i just follow these steps in the original post and it will be fine?

Can i just use the HSPL version? I dont have to flash to like a 1.54 rom before the 1.56 rom?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, you will be fine as long as you follow this guide and use either USPL or HSPL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bthelastman:
Thanks

I went for the USPL, and i ran Run USPL.exe and it did say it was successful, and in the bootloader it does say USB at the bottom and 1.15 USPL. I also updated the drivers as said in USPL post.

The next step i run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal, but active sync cant find the phone in the bootloader? When i try to connect in active sync, it says all my USB ports are available. So it cant find it, so then i cant run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe .

Help please?

Thanks.

Downgrading SPL?

My Blackstone is still under warrenty and I am under no illusions in regards to rom flashing invalidating the warrenty :D

Anyway, I have a copy of the stock rom I can flash back, but the problem is that the ROM i want to flash to requires a newer SPL version.

So the question is, can i flash back to the older SPL verison if i needed to?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bthelastman:
I finally managed to install a rom, but i cant hard reset the phone how hard i try. The screen thats supposed to come up and make a hard reset doesnt show. I do come in at the new rom for screen aligment, but it wont let me past the screen aligment.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
if you use USPL method, the official ROM update software will flash back both your ROM and SPL to the original version.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
well even if u update ur spl to hspl olinex u sure can go back to ur stock spl fr warrnty issues..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cvchetan:
fr hard reset -->

1. switch off ur fone

2. hold vol up and down

3. press power button briefly and release power button.(keep holdin vol up and dn)

4. follow on screen commands.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You do not need to use activesync. Put phone in bootloader and connect it to pc using usb cable. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'Serial' to 'USB'. Once this has happened you are ready to run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and then follow instruction which pop up
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You do not need to go process of screen alignment. Just take battery out of phone for a few seconds and then re-insert it. Then follow procedure to hard reset.

1. hold vol up and down

2. continue to hold vol up and down and then press power button briefly

3. You will be presented with a white screen and blue text. Follow on screen instructions and press vol up to hard reset.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
No. You cannot use HardSPL with these new roms. That is what causes the green screen issues. You need to load the new HTC 1.56 rom at this point. Step (5a) in the guide. This will raise your SPL to 1.54 so you can load new cooked 1.56 roms. Then run USPL and load Dutty's rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You can't do that. You have to run the wrapper and copy the .nbh into the folder where you ran it from. Not drag and drop the .nbh onto the wrapper program. That is why it is crashing.
