Wat are these radios i dont get it they r mentioned everywhere noone explains wat it is and why shud i be flashing it.

Thanks for all ur help buddy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Info on radio's can be found in the wiki here.

Basically latest released radio's should improve signal/reception have better battery life etc

Reason for your colour issues is most likely because you used wrong HSPL with rom.

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+

Hi,

I have a simple question about HardSPL to which I can't find an answer after a long thread search. Can I revert to a lower HSPL? I have HSPL 3.56 on my phone now. How do I go back to 3.29? Do I need to go back to the lower number? Would it have an effect on how a cooked rom runs?

Thanks.

ATT Tilt/TyTN II

HSPL: 3.56

Radio: 170.19.09

ROM: Shifu v.2 WM6.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
There are different versions of HSPL which are meant to work with different rom bases, i.e. for the blackstone

HSPL 1.14 is meant for roms based on pre 1.56

HSPL 1.56 is meant for roms based on 1.56+

If you use wrong version you will get colour distortion and phone won't work properly, i.e. like flight mode

Rom Update

Hi Guys,

I just bought a new HTC Touch HD, ROM version is 1.19.61.1 WWE, branded for UK Orange firm. But I use it in Turkey. Phone has some problems then I think I need a updated ROM. For example in over video call button, there is "Call Hi" mark and when I push this button, call history opens and I can not make a video call. People are calling me through video call, there is no call coming however on the other phone it is ringing.

First I need to ask you whether did you face such problem and if yes how did you resolve? Secondly in order to update my ROM for a version 1.56.xxx I will first run Hardspl then do I need run stock spl or directly run new ROM ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Selim
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I do not face such problems using current rom.

To upgrade rom you can use to methods, USPL or HSPL. I see you have chosen HSPL. If you follow this guide youi will be fine. Once you have flashed HSPL 1.56 you are ready to flash cooked rom, no need to run stock SPL afterwards
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sgpoorguy:
Hi all,

My Touch HD is in SPL 1.14, i want to flash it to 1.54 in order to use post 1.56 rom.

I encounter a problem after I got into the boot loader screen, the few color screen came out showing my SPL version as 114. After that it shows a "loading......" screen with a grey background with nothing else. I just stuck there. I don't see a serial below nor a usb after I connect the phone to the PC. Any idea what is wrong here?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You should first not connect the usb cable. When you enter bootloader it should display "serial" at the bottom of the screen. Then plug in the cable and the display should change to "USB". If not then there is probably an issue with your usb drivers. Read this
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D-P:
Ok thanks a lot guys for all info in this website :D When i got my device from my operator i only patched it to the legal 1.56 rom.

What i idid today:

- Run USPL.exe (i dont to overwrite the original one as i don't intend to switch very often ;)

- Runned the Pixon Rom (custom wrapper)

- Hard Reset it for 2 times

Phone works fine!

Can I install any rom over this one? Or do i have to remove this rom first? How do i get WM 6.5 on this device? Sorry for my noobish questions ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sgpoorguy:
I did not connect the usb cable before I enter bootloader.

I already read the usb driver guide. The problem is that to update the driver, I need the phone to show usb as well, right? I'm using vista and the device management list is not showing Mobile Devices before or after I plug in the phone.

But i'm stuck at the loading screen "loading....." with a grey background. I should see usb in the previous bootloader screen right?

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You can flash rom over this one, but you'll need to re-use USPL first!! USPL is only temporary and need to be re-used before every flash to new rom or radio
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
A common problem with vista is that you may need to update vista drivers. Obviously you say you've already seen this but for drivers to be loaded you need to reboot your pc. Once rebooted, put your phone into bootloader and then connect it to pc. Does bottom of bootloader change from 'serial' to 'usb' now?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sgpoorguy:
Ok, maybe you don't get my problem. I can't even see the Mobile Devices icon in the device management list as shown below. May I know how can I proceed to update the driver?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I use vista myself and in order for you to downgrade your vista driver you need to do the following:

- First download the drivers and paste it on your desktop

- Put phone into bootloader: vol down press + power button until you have the tri-color and at bottom of screen "serial" is indicated

- Run window mobile device and uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'.

- Now on pc, click start > type services (you have the image shown on the guide for vista) > check that the 'Windows Mobile-based connectivity' and Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity' services are started. If they are not, click the service name and press the 'play' button on the top bar.

- If they are, you are going to now change the drivers of the WMDC : click start and type run > click on the run and type devmgmt.msc

- You will have the drivers manager, you will have to expand the 'Mobile devices' section and click the 'HTC USB Sync' item. (Your phone should still be in boatloader, do not worry just keep on following the steps)

- On the taskbar Click the 'Action' menu and select 'Update Driver Software'

- Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' and also click 'Have Disk' so that you will force window to let you select your your drivers

- Click 'Browse', and browse to the location where you extracted the ZIP file with the drivers, select the driver for vista 64 bits

- On the file you have two .inf file, double click 'wceusbsh.inf'

- Select 'HTC USB Sync' from the list, and click 'Next' the driver will be installed

- After, click on 'close' and then again you will run the task manager

- Go to 'start', type run, choose run and type 'taskmgr'. Then find the 'Window Mobile device center' and click 'End Process'.

- Now you should be able to launch USPL or HSPL on your device and follow the rest of the guide...

Hopefully this will help
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D-P:
Ok thanks ;) Yes indeed first use the USPL, because it uses the ram instead of hard copying the SPL by HSPL ;)

When you have installed WM 6.1 you only need a rom with 6.5 for example Dutty to get WM 6.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, that is correct. To get wm6.5 all you need to do is re-use USPL and then flash rom with wm6.5 on it like Throys or Miri's etc
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
That is correct! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Run USPL before you flash said rom. You have a different CID from the rom's CID. This will bypass that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
To update the driver in Vista x64 when you reboot you have to keep pressing F8 before Windows starts booting to get a boot menu. When the menu pops up there will be an option to disable digital driver signing. Have you done this before you try to update the driver?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
This is because your phone's SPL is incorrect for the rom you are using. What rom is presently on your phone? Also, put your phone into bootloader... what does it say for SPL version? My guess is either 1.14.0000 or 1.07.OliNex or something similar?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] unwired4:
Well I have got the whole way through Crack's brilliant guide... but still have the green screen when it first boots (which goes away after flicking power off and on) but more importantly the phone function wont turn on.

If you go to comm mgr the phone function is "off" and nothing happens when you try to turn it on. Tried it with both Duttys 2.9 and with Miri's 8.1 ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I totally forgot about that requirement. I'm glad you got it sorted out. I am adding this to the guide...

Read my post right before yours...

"This is because your phone's SPL is incorrect for the rom you are using. What rom is presently on your phone? Also, put your phone into bootloader... what does it say for SPL version? My guess is either 1.14.0000 or 1.07.OliNex or something similar?"

Looks like you tried several cooked 1.56-based roms. What is your SPL version if you go into bootloader?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Do you mind if I recompile this information in my guide on post 1?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Haha, very good, thanks! Just always like to check before plagiarizing! Old habit from school days I suppose :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Yarie:
I know !! but i am glad that i can help :+) i just followed the guide to install the vista driver but i adjust it for myself :):)

U might want to also add the following : after the flashing in order to sync again, the connections settings must be checked again (on the mobile device center).

FYI , i did not use the F8 procedure....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Will add this too... are you using Vista 32-bit or Vista 64-bit? That is only for Vista 64-bit because of special "safety precautions" Microsoft puts in place on 64-bit.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Yarie:
I have vista32 like i indicated on the first post but on the drivers zip you have 2 sub files one for the 32bit and the other for the 64bit , i think the F8 procedure is for the 64bit...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Ah, ok. Guess I didn't notice you said that ;) You are correct about the F8 procedure.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuantuti:
just wanna say thanks crack. i had follow ur instruction to every single word. and now i successfully flashed miri 6.5 ROM 1.56.

just a suggestion: your notification of the SPL version is a little distracting from the guide. and to recapture the main point that i thought was important for newcomers:

after flashing to stock HTC 1.56 ROM, the SPL is 1.54.0000. this SPL will not let you flash cooked ROM like duttys or miri. run USPL to change SPL to 1.15, then you can flash ROM. otherwise, the RUU will hang at 0%.

good luck to all.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Cool. I will look into re-wording it so it is more clear (clearer? I hate English :D).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] unwired4:
I reverted to the Stock 1.14 as per your guide, ran USPL to change it to 1.15, then loaded an HTC 1.56 rom as per your guide but I am guessing that even after that my spl was 1.14 instead of 1.54 ?

I went back to dutty's 2.6 for the evening but have just USPL'd and am flashing 1.56 rom again to see if that updates the spl...

Edit - and it did. The previous go to upgrade to 1.56 must have failed somehow!

Anyway, it is now working - so thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Seems you have it sorted, very good! *cheers*
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simforosa:

When I run USPL nothing happens. A little black window opens and closes immediately.

OK.

Then right mouse button, click on "Run as administrator", close and re open the USPL, but the problem is not solved.

USPL GUI Error ...?

Hi every body,

I used this nice tutorial to flash my ROM to Dutty's 3.9; after that, I reinstalled my Windows and now when I run the USPL utility, as soon as I click the "Start USPL" button, an error message appears saying that the program has stopped working; I've tried it in both Vista and XP and I receive the same message.

Can anyone help?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You said you re-installed your windows. You may need to re-install usb drivers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sgpoorguy:
Hi,

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

I did a stupid mistake, not sure if it is highlighted in the steps. I placed the Dutty ROM in my storage card before entering bootloader, this is why it is always stuck in the loading screen. After i remove the ROM, i managed to get Dutty ROM up. Thanks a lot for your help.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farzadmf:
I tried to install the usb drivers:

First I forgot to disable driver signing enforcement and the installation was unsuccessful at the end of it.

But when I restarted and disalbed driver signing enforcement and tried again, I received an error message and I think it was unsuccessful again.

What should I do? Is there anyway I can make sure drivers are correct? Is the error message saying the USPL utility has stopped working related to the drivers?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Have you tried removing and reinstalling the USPL app?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farzadmf:

Help! My screen turns green/blue??

I used USPL to upgrade but when it had installed the rom and starts it has a very low resolution and it's greeblue in colour? I can hardly see what's on the screen, the icons are very hard to see?

If I try HSPL can I retrieve the old bios if I need to turn it in for warrenty repair?

In bootloader it say's version 1.14 if that gives anyone a clue.

I have rom-version 1.56.413.0(43972) SVE

rom-date 03/10/09

radioversion 1.13.25.24

protocollversion 52.62.25.34U

I hope someone can help me because I would really like to install Win 6.5.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Your problem is that your SPL is still 1.14. If you used USPL successfully it would read 1.54. Go back to the posts at the beginning of this thread and follow the steps carefully.

If you do decide to go the HSPL route, it is possible to revert to the stock 1.14 SPL. Read this thread for the steps (at the end of the first post)

Wow! Thanks for the flashing guides - just update / upgraded my HTC Touch HD with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex and the EnergyROM.

Just one question - I assume now I've got the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex on the phone, I can just flash any ROM at any time? No need to reinstall the 1560OliNex each time?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
That's right, Hard SPL is in all intense and purposes permanant.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CKSaZaBoN:
Thanks for the great guide in flashing the HD.

Just got a question, and not sure if it has been answered in the previous 100 odd pages in this thread.

I'm trying to flash my HD with HSPL, but during the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex program, it stops and has "Error [262]"

I followed the steps in the program for recovery, my HD is still fine. How do I get past this error issue?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Quote from wiki

If your having troubles with HSPL, try the following:

Troubleshooting - manual SSPL

Boot up your phone.

Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.

Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.

When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.

Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CKSaZaBoN:
Thanks for that! All successful ^ ^ b
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lsainsbury:
I've always find that I cannot flash with Vista - I have to use an XP PC.

Any reason for that?

Not a real issue as I have access to both, but just wondered why!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Most likely due to the vista drivers. You need to update them
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I agree with Fallen Spartan, most likely a driver issue. Read this thread on how to update your HTC USB drivers for Vista
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farzadmf:
Acutally I don't want to use HSPL for now because I prefer to keep my phone's guaranty (in case of any damage you know)

But about the SSPL-Manual, can you tell me more about that?

And one more question, I have Norton Internet Security 2009 and just once, it found the USPL gui .exe file to be a virus, but it doesn't know and it allows me to run it. Is it possible that when this utility wants to run, i.e. when we click the Start USPL button, Norton finds it a virus and it causes the program to stop abnormally? I have to mention that before running this utility, I right-click on Norton's icon and choose both options:

1) Disable Antivirus Auto-Protect

2) Disable Smart Firewall

And I don't know any other way to disable Norton.

Thanks in advance ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Do you know that you can always revert to stock SPL even if you use HSPL. Sure it is a little more effort than if you use USPL, but hopefully you don't need to return your phone. HSPL certainly makes it much easier to flash especially if you are going to be doing it frequently. You can read here on how to revert (at the end of post#1)

See post#2 in this thread (extract below). You can download SSPL from the link in post#1

Just to be safe and prevent your Antivirus from interfering, you can actually shut down Norton. When I need to shut down mine, I right click on the icon in the tray and select exit
