Flashing Orange Touch HD

hey I have Touch HD of orange n right now im using Duty’s v3.9XT n its SUPERB on it.... I can simplify the procedure for u.it will be for both official rom upgrade and for putting any cooked rom without bricking ur phone... first ill write it down in outlines n than write the detail u need as being owner of orange touch hd device....

here is wht ul have to do.

1. Download relevant stuff.

2. install relevant drivers and USPL software on your pc

3. update your current orange rom to official updated rom.

4. Download and install any cooked rom.

here are the details....

Orange shipped touch hd's have SPL ver1.14000 in them. SPL is the bootloader. our first task is to update the SPL from 1.14 to 1.54.... if u dont do this and directly install any cooked rom. the screen colors all mess up.....

Firstly Download these….

You gotta have the updated USB sync drivers.tht can be done from crackwhores guide.

follow it. According to the operating system you have.

When you are done installing the drivers. Restart ur pc n (incase of vista: press F8 before windows starts n from menu select disable signature reinforcement) everytime u plan to flash a new rom u gotta restart n disable the driver signature reinforcement if u had a normal reset earlier as vista on normal boot blocks these drivers.

After u have the drivers installed and working go to this link another crackwhores guide n

Download these 2 files “USPL GUI v 2.5.zip” “BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip”

when you extract file USPL GUI v 2.5.zip your antivirus gives warning tht it is virus… its not… ignore that.

Now u have to download and install the official latest rom which works with touch HD (orange)to update your SPL to 1.54 .

go to this link

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe

and from here download this file.

•	RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe

(note this rom is specific to UK devices n only this will work on orange hd…. If u download any other it will fail)

After you have downloaded and extracted the rom file. It will be named ruusigned.nbh make a new folder and in tht folder put this file and also extract that “blackstoneRUUwrapper” into it.

Now ur ready to start flashing process… for detail check the crackwhores guide to flashing. Im just writing short outline. Make sure you have at least 50% charge.

1.First turn off ur cell.

2.Hold down volume down button n press power button till u see a 3 colored screen with SPL 1.14000 n on bottom of screen there is “Serial”

3. Now connect your device to pc via usb cable. Serial will change to usb in couple of seconds.

4.Now run USPl.exe from tht USPL GUI v2.5 tht u had extracted earlier. A window will open. On tht click “RUN USPL” n in 5 to 10 secs it will run and show u message in end tht USPL loaded and happy flashing.

5.Ur cell screen will reload n now it will show “USPL1.54000” instead of “SPL 1.14000” and usb will disappear from bottom of screen. Just unplug the usb n replug USB will come up again.

6.Now go to tht folder with Blackstone RUUwrapper and RUUsingned.nbh file

7.Run tht BlackstoneRUUwrapper.exe

8.Follow the application by clicking next n checking boxes where ever needed.

9.At end it will start flashing ur rom. It takes 10 mins.

10.When finished your device will automatically restart.

11.While its doin tht unplug the usb. Remove the back cover n yank out the battery.

12.After 5 secs reinsert the battery n put on the cover

13.Now press n hold both up n down volume buttons n press the power button once.(but keep holding the volume buttons)

14.After 3 secs bootloader like screen will come up saying press vol up to restore factory settings.

15.Do tht

16.Whe finished it will say press vol up again to boot.

17.Do tht.

18.N ur done =) if u just wanted to get the latest official rom and this has updated your SPL to 1.54000 from 1.14000.

19.But if u want any cooked rom u can easily install tht following the same steps from 1. Using the cooked “RUUsigned.nbh” and u wont end up with any problems with screen colors with cooked roms….

Happy FLASHING :cool:
