Hi again,

I have HD Device with German Version:

ROM: RUU_BlackStone_HTC_GER_1.56.407.2_Radio_52.60.25.33_1.12.25.16DE_Ship.exe

But i want English version (WWE).

Is is possible with install of this ROM:

RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.57.831.1_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24_Ship.exe

My logic says yes but i'm not Professional. Has anyone experience before i do this?

regards

T.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] egoist6:
that rom is the latest official rom.

but i would recommend to install hspl before.

see my signature.

you might also think about flashing custom roms
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matthes42:
1. You have to CID-Unlock your device

2. You should use Hard-SPL (or at least USPL)

3. Choose any WWE-version of ROM and flash it

But first of all: read how to flash you device in oder to keep it alive. It´s easy but you have to read.

Some threads ahead is the following sticky one:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djevaHD:
Hi all,

At first thank you for the answers!

Second: What do you mean Sir, "to keep alive the device"? Is this upgrade dangerous? If yes then i will not do this. I will keep my german version. :)

I'm still a greenhorn and i need more information regarding the threads 505377 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377).

I have already read this threads and i'm little bit confused. I checked that my SPL is: SPL-1.54.0000.

So, the steps:

1. Install Hard-SPL (of course - successful).

- should i take all files for HSPL and go to "post2"?

1. HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip

2. USPL GUI v 2.5.zip

3. RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip

4. BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip

5. SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip

- "post2" page:

1. HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip (equal with the 1. above)

2. A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7 --> what is this?

3. BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip (equal with the 4. file above)

4. SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip (equal with the 5. file above)

result: Do i need "USPL GUI v 2.5.zip" and "RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip" and what about "A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7" ?

Please explanation of "Place your phone into its bootloader." Sir.

This?

- Turn it off.

- Hold the volume down button while you press the power on button.

- You should see a tri-color screen with some text.

- Plug in your phone to your computer via USB. At the very bottom of the screen it should show USB.

2. If the first is OK then install the Englich Version: "RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.57.831.1_Radio_52.64.25 .34_1.14.25.24_Ship.exe"

or i need something else?

I will be very grateful for any help and suppor?

upgrading rom (official or custom) is always a critical moment. you can break your device. hspl will make sure that you can restart your flashing procedure.

i have been using wm devices for years now and flashing have become to one of my hobies. so i am quite familiar with flashing but even for me it was hard to really understand the thread you mentioned above.

i have chosen to install hspl instead of uspl because this is what i have been using on other devices for years now (to other readers who are in favour of uspl: yes of course uspl is also very good, blablabla) but let's give newbies a clear start and he can decide later for other spls)

to answer the first question: you only need one spl which is in this case 1.56olinex. nothing more and nothing else.

now you are prepared to install any rom you like

and yes - what you described is the bootloader

second question:

yes, you can install that rom. again, here are many roms you can install.

but i see that you are very cautious - in this case you should really go to htc website (as you did), enter your serial number and install the rom htc is providing you with (even if it is not the language you prefer).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djevaHD:
Hi

Yes, Sir i'm very cautious because i'm not profi. Thank you for the tip but..

I still don't know which file i need (Step 1 - Install spl) to install the Hard-SPL. Only "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip"?

The second step is clear.

Thank you a lot

regards

Thomas
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] egoist6:
correct.

once hspl is installed there is no reason to be cautious anymore :)

it does not make any difference in flashing official roms or custom roms.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] djevaHD:
Ok i'm not cautious anymore. All i need is only one file namely, the "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip".

Should I follow the references from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377 ?

First i need .NET 3.5.

Then regarding: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3930436&postcount=2 It concerns the following ...

HSPL1 - Downloads (i got it!)

HSPL2 - Flash new SPL (1.56.OliNex or HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe) (i got it!)

HSPL3 - Check SPL version (i got it!)

HSPL4 - Flash new 1.56+ rom Why? I did this in HSPL2

What is that -> "A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7".

regards

Thomas
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] egoist6:
in step hspl2 you updated your spl. this has nothing to do with flashing the rom (i.e. OS) itself, which you do in step hspl4.

"A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7" means that you should from now on only flash roms whose version number is 1.56 or above (and dutty's rom XT3.7 is just one of them). all the latest roms here are based on version 1.56 or higher. but no problem if you flash an older rom. you will see screen color prolems right after booting. just reflash the correct rom.

but i have to admit that the tutorial would need some tuning in terms of clarification.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bimme:
let´s say it in easy words:

The SPL of a device is like the BIOS of your PC.

All devices are locked by the providers in this SPL.

eg. if u buy an O2 Blackstone, you´re only able to flash O2 roms,

if u buy the official HTC Blackstone, you´re only able to flash official HTC Roms for your Region (in your case GER) ...

This lock is called CID Lock or Country-ID Lock.

To remove this lock, you have 2 options:

You can temporarly remove the lock just to flash any other ROM. After the rom is flashed and the device reboots, it´s locked again. (If anything goes wrong here, u need a Rom from your Provider matching your CID to recover the device!!) <- so if you want to do this, you need USPL

You can also permanantly remove the lock, and flash anything you want by flashing to a patched SPL. <- if you want to do this, you have to take HSPL by Olinex.

Pro and Cons:

If u take USPL, you will keep your (original) SPL, but still locked to your provider. You´ll need a official Rom matching your CID to restore when something goes wrong.

If u take HSPL, you can simply flash anything you want and how much you want. But you can get problems with warrenty if the device has technical problems in the future. When problems occure and you have to send the device to repair, you can flash an official Rom containing a official SPL or just an official (stock) SPL. But only if u are still able to flash ;)

It´s your decition. I prefer HSPL...

There's a couple variations of the Magic, but they've all got 512MB of Memory (ROM not RAM) while the Dream has 256. Benefits of changing the rom on your phone are customization, more control, ability to enable features (multi-touch), etc.

I have the latest 6.5 Energy rom and every time i try to install TTN 7 the progress bar never moves...any body else experiencing this problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] xtremekilla09:
yeah, I had the same issue, but the funny thing is, I left the installation screen on for a while and then ended the process. Apparently TomTom was installed anyway and worked fine.

I don't know why it does that, but try it, maybe it will work for you too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] 8525Smart:
I install TT7 all the time and this has never occurred to me. I must have install the thing on over a dozen different ROMs (though admittedly, I'm not a big fan of EnergyRom).

However, after switching to WM6.5, I have noticed that installing TT7 doesn't give me a shortcut to the program. Instead, I would always have to create a shortcut myself.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] chevy454:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
I had the same thing happen on the new AT&T ROM, and likes yours I left it for a while, came back and saw it was still the same, ended the process and found it had installed TomTom just fine.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tvaril:
I have no problems installing tomtom 7 on any EnergyROM even the latest 04072009. Maybe it is just an installer which build of TT7 u guys are using ? My is 7.910 (9185) and it is in cab.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] californiarailroader:
I'm using a newer version of TomTom 7, 7.915(9196), I also installed it via .cab file.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tvaril:
I have found a new built so i upgraded to 7.915 (9196) with no problems at all, installation took about 20s. My actuall ROM is in signature. I have installed it form device...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] AthenaLod:
I noticed a long time ago that TomTom doesn't need reinstallation between flashes, I think I installed it once, and moved the installation folder to the SD card and I just keep it there between flashes. Hope this helps.
[Touch CDMA General] 2Sancho:
Hello everyone I decided to Start a new Thread for all the people who want to try to have QuickGPS (offline AGPS) working on the Vogue.

I've read and read and read about the Quickgps not working and found out two things.

1 If you get an certificate error you are downloading a wrong or bad cab file.

2 If you get a connection fail error it is not a connection error, because it does download the xtra.bin file to the temp folder.

Question is: What is QuickGPS supposed to do after it downloads the xtra.bin

file to the temp folder?

If I manually move it to the windows folder it shows on the Qgps main screen but it doesnt show the days remaining so I think something else has/needs to be done besides of just copying/moving the file to the windows directory.

Had the exact same problem. It happened with many different ROMs and radios, so its not from them.

The solution for me has been (so far) to change HardSPL (I had originaly used Olinex 1.40, now I use Olinex 1.93). Both are found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400950.

What is it?

Utility to run through all your Outlook contacts and identify ones where either the birthday or anniversay is missing an entry in the calendar. Oh yes and an option to add it to the calendar. :D

Why is it needed?

Outlook misses adding these events from contacts expecially when importing from PSTs. (In my case I'd managed to lose quite a lot of entries during ROM flashes and resyncing.) There wasn't any reasonable utility out there and the ones that were available were paid. So here's a free one!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
Just organize \windows by file extension (either with Total Commander or Active Sync) and look at all the cabs. There may be a few you want to install, like manila. There will be many that are total crap, like the games. You may want to look up a cab for a stock HTC manila. It won't have all of the ATT crap on it and will be more pleasant to use. If you don't know what a cab does, copy it to your desktop and analyze it with Wince Cab Analyzer (search for MSCEInf.exe). Or, if you have sk tools, use the CAB manager to look into the cabs and figure out what they are.
