[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeZenT:
Just a small notification to all windows 7 users.. USPL 2.5 will not work in W7 or that is my experience so far :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
HSPL will make it so that the device is no longer CID locked. This should be what you call "unbranding".

It works fine for me on every build so far... up to 7201 now. What happens when you try to use it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gmurf:
hi

i just went to finish USPL3 and and i would like to know if i could go back to sip-1.14.0000

for the warrenty because i have to send it back.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes you can always flash back to an older / stock SPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gmurf:
could you tell me how to do it pls

thx for the help
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Follow the instructions in this thread where it says "How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY" at the bottom of the first post.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marmin:
Crack can I ask a question? Finally took the plunge and had a go at flashing new rom. got stuck at the first hurdle, Got hit with an "error 262". Not sure if I follow the solution though as I took battery out as it suggested in the RUU and restarted. Same result, even tried the USB driver thingy but it gives me errors when I update the driver. Shows USB on the phone though.

posted this inthe RUU error thread, but noticed that is about to be deleted.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
So did you have an issue flashing the actual ROM or the SPL? What SPL do you currently show in your bootloader? How were you trying to flash the ROM?

I responded there as well but keep the questions up on this thread please.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phatair:
i followed exactly this tutorial:

On the info "current information about your pda phone" there is no info about the image version

On the info "verify that you want to update your rom version" the "from" is empty and on "to" there is the info Image Version: 1.54 stock

after this the window "updateing the rom image on your pda phone" is shonw with the process bar - but there is still a 0 and nothing happens for few seconds.

then the message appears "Error 262: Update Error - communication errors

My spl is the original 1.14.0000 what did i wrong?? I followed the instrucions :(

i removed the SIM Card - is this a problem?

So i insert my SIM Card, reboot the pc but the update progress dont work.

Did i understand this correct

if my SPL in the bootloader is NOT 1.54.0000 i have to follow these instrucions i quote above? I have the 1.14.0000SPL so i must follow them.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If it is sitting at 0% when you try to complete this step, then run USPL or Manual SSPL before you try this step.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phatair:
what do you mean with:

If it is sitting at 0% when you try to complete this step

is this the situation you mean with "try to complete this step":

i start the update process and then the progress bar is shown on my desktop pc and on the phone,too. Nothing happens, only the 0% is there and after a few seconds the error message appears

if i try to run uspl or manuel sspl - what have i to do? Should i install the RUU_Signed.nbh with this application?

Sorry for the questions but this is my first ROM flash :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Ok I will explain in more detail and give you some custom instructions.

Modify step 3:

USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000)

(USPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.

(USPL3b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.

(USPL3c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.

(USPL3d) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (USPL1b). Do not click any buttons on the screen when the application appears.

(USPL3e) 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. If you get an error message saying that the file is already in use that is because you clicked one or more buttons in the HardSPL application window once it appeared. If that happens to you, exit from it, start it again, and DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.

(USPL3f) Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock 1.54.0000 SPL to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.

Let me know how this works out...

thanks a lot cRaCKwHoRe,

i will test this tomorrow and give you feedback!!

Thanks again for your help!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-KAM:
Hey cRaCKwHoRe

Just the other day I accidently (clicked wrong link) flashed 1.14 OliNex, after I then flashed 1.56 obviously I got the Green screen, so I just reflashed 1.14 to fix that.

How on earth do I get rid of 1.14 -> 1.56?

I've checked a lot of the forum, but sadly most technical jargon I just don't understand, computer literacy just isn't a strong point for me! I have a few other problems, but I'll get to them eventually, hopefully reading more of the forum will solve it though.

Cheers in advance,

R-KAM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
So are you saying you flashed HSPL 1.14.olinex and then a 1.56 rom, and then flashed back a 1.14 rom?

If you want to flash a 1.56 rom just flash HSPL 1.56.olinex and then the 1.56 rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alander:
I tried flashing and it looks like I have the HardSPL 1.56 from the tricolour screen but I cannot flash any new ROMs after that.

I have to put it into that and use USPL and then flash the ROM..

Also in the previous attempts when using microSD cards to flash the rom it works but if I reformat the card I render the card useless! :eek:

Can you change your update instructions for performing a hard reset - I spent ages until I realised you had to 'briefly' press the power button whilst holding the volume up and down buttons :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marmin:
Hi Crackwhore, whilst I was travelling home I noticed your answer to a post with identical issues to mine. I tried this straight away, it worked bang on! (Accidentally did HSPL as I got so excited at not being stuck on 0% I forgot to change the nbh file!)

The new instructions are awesome.

You should have your status updated to demi god member!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] phatair:
Thanks a lot cRaCKwHoRe

the new instruction worked for me. Now i can flash my SPL and ROMs.

THANKS!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-KAM:
Ok, I've flashed the HSPL 1.56.Olinex and now have the messed up screen issue. Do I just flash the 1.56 ROM now and everything is sorted?

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Yes, that is correct. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-KAM:
Got it, thanks a bunch mate!

hi

after runing the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe it dont goes over 0% and i have 262 error. Whats wrong? can someone help me thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
What are you trying to do? Flash an SPL or a ROM? What is your current SPL?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stoker63:
im trying to flash the ROM and my spl is 1.54.0000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] matty538:
Gotta says thanks for the write up.

Ive been worried about flashing a new ROM but wanted to get rid of all the Orange stuff shipped with my HD, so i finally got the courage and used the USPL option.

I only flashed the latest offical 1.56 ROM for my region but I would feel confident doing it again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeffhakase:
i had the same problem and i tried this out, i was half freaked out when i couldnt flash **** into my phone and was scared my warranty would get void, i followed ur steps and it saved my phone, thanks a lot crack! ur dope!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
This is why it is sitting at 0% when you try to flash the ROM. Since you have the stock 1.54.0000 SPL you need to use USPL to flash custom roms. Or, you can alternatively flash HSPL 1.56.olinex first and then you can just flash away anytime.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lk1974:
Legend. Thanks, heaps :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 9rinder:
Ufff... Guys, I need help! Due microSD failure I decided to downgrade to 1.14 SPL. I've easily done it. However, due ROM is much more new (requiring 1.56 SPL) there are troubles to use device due "wrong colors" and unstable whole system (mostly due touch screen failure!!!). It couldn't see card anyway. But when I tried to put down 1.56 SPL (as it was previously) it stopped on the progress bar screen up to 5-7 minutes and reports "no connection" at last =:-0. No synchronisation at all, I'm trying to work under "tricolor" only. The biggest trouble is also that due incopatibility of ROM and 1.14 SPL I cannot use "SSPL-manual...": I've succeeded to copy it in the body, but to start it is really impossible as system is absolutely unstable and device freezes and resets at any time!.. HardSPL is impossible as well due above reasons..

What to do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tajboy:
unbelieveable.... thanks man... at first i didnt really understand how to do it... but after referring to this, it was excellent!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
Hi Crackwhore,

Thanks for creating this detail documentation on how to flash the rom. It's a good refresher course for me, and in return, I would like to contribute back by sharing two videos I have created on the rom flashing process itself. The video uploaded is not in HD unfortunately so I'm trying to re-upload again, but here's the link

http://www.zenyee.com/2009/06/21/custom-rom-upgrade-for-dummies/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
What does your SPL say in bootloader? 1.14.0000? and you are trying to get 1.56 based rom?

You will need to follow step USPL3 in guide and get to SPL1.54.0000 by using HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and RUU_Signed.nbh from RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 9rinder:
Got it!

No, I didn't want to change ROM, just return SPL.

Anyway, I succeed to return 1.56 SPL by now:

- I made hard-reset, but nothing improved - touch screen was ulmost not operable, system freezed

- body rejected to connect via active sync, few seconds and then disconnection.

I made soft reset almost 30 times and finally succeed to load "SSPL-Manual-TouchHD" in the body. Then, 1.5 hours gone and I occasionally started it. Then 156OliNex flashed like a charm at once... My ROM was "Super Lite" by Onkolog. So, pls, be careful with above. Results: microSD data wasn't recovered and I lost almost 24 hours to return appropriate SPL for my ROM.

All above I tried with my laptop under Vista and PC under XP.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
....but everything is ok now...yes?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 9rinder:
I may say YEAH! Even card data lost and I proceeded with hard reset and need to load fully my gadget again...

SPL 1.14 to SPL 1.54

Hi,

So, if I have my original SPL 1.14 and I would like to keep warranty how can I flash cooked rom’s?

1.	I saw this post:

At step (5b) you should already have the original HTC 1.56 rom installed which would update your SPL to 1.54.0000.

With my original rom installed I do not have SPL 1.54.0000. Is that mean that i have to flash it to SPL 1.54 to be able to flash Dutty's rom for example?

Is that mean that I will lose my warranty because I will have now on SPL1.54.0000 instead 1.14 ?

Could you give me a link to the original WWE rom containing SPL 1.54?

Should I flash this rom (containing SPL 1.54) only from the exe file?

If I flash only the SPL to 1.54 will this keep my warranty or not?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Georgi
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Use USPL instead or HSPL. Follow guide at start of thread for this

Depending on when you bought device you could have 1.14.etc, 1.19.etc or 1.54.etc on device initially. You will need to get to 1.54.0000. Just follow guide and you will be fine.

No your warranty will be fine. You can always return to original SPL anyway

Can be found here mate

Other method is from SD Card using .NBH file, but easiest route for you is .exe method

Yes your warranty will be fine
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rendeto:
Wow, that was fast replay. Thank you very much for your replay. Meanwhile i downloaded the original "_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe" for the HTC site, so i guess i should be ok with the warranty and my SPL should be 1.56, correct?

So, at this point i will go with uspl_2.5.zip and i hope everything to be OK, right?

And if i need warranty i will need only to apply the official *.exe that i downloaded and it will return the official settings(SPL, ROM, RADIO,etc), correct?

Georgi
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Yes mate

Yes mate, USPL 2.5 will be fine. Just follow guide at start of thread

Should be fine mate

unable to flash custom roms

I appear to be able unable to flash HSPL or USPL using the methods described here as i can't get past Step 2 (flashing the .

I've got new htc blackstone which contains the latest official rom (i believe: "_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Ra dio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe)

I followed Post 2 and also tryed post 3 but whenever i try to install the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe rom it won't continue, it keeps stuck at 0%

I tryed SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe after this this didn't work. I was unable to get an USB connection.

I also tryed USPL, but here the same issue, after overwriing the nbh file it won't continue after 0%

Just to make sure i was able to flash i tryed running the offical "_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Ra dio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe"

and this version flash without a problem perfectly, retryed the HSPL and USPL after this but still no luck. I even tryed overwring the .nbh file while using the official flash, but no luck either.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am running Windows 7, but i successfully flashed my Kaiser, and was able to flash using blackstone using the official release.

Any idea's?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
I use Windows 7 as well on one of my flashing machines and it works fine. That isn't the issue. Have you gone through the process of updating your drivers for the HTC USB Sync? If you haven't done this, then that is why USPL is not working when you try to use it.

When you try to use Manual SSPL and you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? Does your phone not connect to your computer when it is in Windows? Do you not have ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center installed so you can copy files to your phone? All you have to do is copy the .exe file to your phone and run it (from Windows within your phone). Once you run it, it puts your phone into bootloader showing SPL 1.07.olinex, which should then allow you to flash HSPL 1.56.

You can also use USPL before you flash HSPL. It will work as another means of SSPL and will allow you to flash HSPL 1.56.olinex.

If you have still have problems with Manual SSPL or USPL after this let me know. If you have MSN or AIM and can't get it resolved PM me your screen name.

Hi,

I just would like to say BIG THANKS to “Fallen Spartan” for the quick replays and to “zenkinz” too for the help. Of course BIG THANK to Dutty’s, great rom.

Thank you all, everything is up and running :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
you are most welcome, I'm just transforming the detail guide into another media (video) so most credits must go to cRaCkwHoRe ;)

I have just added subtitles to the video and also the video is available in HQ format, so hopefully it's clearer for viewing. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I must add that your video guide would be a welcomed addition to this thread and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Good work indeed.

Well done

@ rendeto - No worries. I'm just glad you got it sorted. I'm only here to help and share my knowledge in the assistance of others.

As zenkinz quite rightly stated cRaCKwHoRe has put a lot of work and effort into creating this excellent guide, so praise should also be given to him. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dilinja:
Sadly I cant even get past step 2! :D

I'm using the HSPL method, I put the phone into its bootloader (volume down and power on), connect by USB then try running HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_1560liNex. Sadly it just says Error [238] : File Read.

I'd really appreciate any thoughts you all have.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DanHart:
As a noob - what's the advantages of having a different ROM? What do they do?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
A lot more than the stock ones. They have parts of the latest ROMs from other devices such as Topaz and Rhodium and many more tweaks to make the better.

Have a read of the 1st posts of some of the ROM threads and see the differences from yours ;).

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dilinja:
Ok so I've managed to get past stage two ;)

I was trying to do this on my work machine and for some reason I cant install .net 3.5 on to it. So I switched to my partners machine (Vista) and this gets further. I actually get to the point where it says to update with 1.56 :D w00t!

Unfortunately it hangs at 0% and the progress bar doesnt go up at all. I tried several times to go through this process and each time I had to go through the recovery process (removing battery, restarting phone). I thought this might be a connection problem so I unticked the Allow USB Connections as suggested earlier in the thread but still the same issue.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can try now please?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Ok so have you managed to actually get HSPL loaded to your phone yet? If you put your phone in the bootloader what does it show as the SPL version? If you still have the stock SPL and it is sitting at 0% when you try to flash HSPL then you need to use manual SSPL before you flash HSPL.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dilinja:
Im afraid not - the SPL version is still 1.54.0000. When I try to update it using HSPLwrapper I get error 238. According to the wiki error 238 suggests a problem with the ROM and to download the ROM again. I tried to download the wrapper again but its the same thing.

Is there a manual process I can follow then?

Edit: I just ran SSPL from my storage card and got to a screen that looked like the boot loader. It had 1.07.OliNex written there. So I tried the HSPLWrapper and got the same error, error 238 :(

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Are you attempting this from a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7? If so, do you have user account control turned on? If you do, you need to either turn it off, or run the RUU as administrator (right-click and "run as administrator").
