Restore original SPL from bootloader

Hi,
Does anyone know how can I restore the original SPL from bootloader ? I try to do it, the progress bar goes to 100% but when I restart it, I still have the HardSPL installed.
Any ideas ?

Use SEARCH please

Thanks for the reply.
I tried that. Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for me. The progress bar goes to 100% and after restart I still have OliNex loader. I don't have the step which says "Unplug cable".
Some other ideas maybe ?

That message appears on the device (on the colored bars screen). Maybe you thought it should appear in Windows.
It worked for me

I know it's on the device. It did, when I did the hard spl. Now when I'm trying to get back to original spl (device stucked in windows boot screen) I don't have that message, but the process goes through. Unfortunately without any result.

Stucked windows screen is a different problem. This method is ok only for working device.
In this case this is the only one idea:

3. Plug in your device via USB. Your computer should be asking install a driver. Install and continue.
4. Now Run mtty and choose USB in 'PORT'
4. type "set 16 0" without the quotes to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
5. type "task 8" to get your device formatted.
6. Now unplug your device and manually reset it.

I fully appreciate any kind of help.

Did you try flash back the original rom?
And I suggest rename this thread for example Stucked in windows screen...
Maybe more people will read it, and try to help you....

I did try to put back a french ROM. I don't know if it was the original because unfortunately when I first flashed it I was kind of beginner in flashing HTC's, but I tried with the only original french ROM that I found on this forum. The process goes through, but yet the result is the same. Is there any kind of command to fully erase (format) the memory (beside the bootloader) and then try to load a ROM ?

Same for me with restoring SPL ...it doesn't work.
And my device is almost at the same state of damage as yours. See my thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402765
Also the mtty and task8 just restarts my device. Nothing more, nothing less!
So there is no way of restoring SPL with entering the bootloader manually? Not even a mSD-Card Trick out there? I need to get it done because of warranty ;/

You stucked in Olipro hard-spl, this is why restore spl not works...
And unfortunatelly you can not flash spl with micros-sd.
But you can try to flash rom with micro-sd card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384084&highlight=guide
Or ask Olipro, maybe he can help you.

Well I am able to flash my Rom the usual way with USB connection.
But no way of restoring the SPL ;(

"So there is no way of restoring SPL with entering the bootloader manually? Not even a mSD-Card Trick out there? I need to get it done because of warranty ;/"
I do not understand exactly...
Did you try restore original spl with manual bootloader?

you run SSPL from Windows Mobile, then flash a stock SPL NBH, job done.
the whole *point* of Hard-SPL is that it can't be overwritten when it performs a flash so that if anything screws up you don't end up locked out of reflashing in the event something screws up.

Sounds easy *hehe* BUT i can't access Windows Mobile anymore, that is my big problem. So my device will be picked up by O² in a few days, so i have to get the original SPL back without accessing Windows Mobile ;(
Any suggestion?
@fktsndr: no, thats why i have put a question mark behind it I just need a way of downgrading to the Original SPL without access to Windows Mobile. Maybe i should be sorry for my english

So...
You have hard-spl on your machine
You can not restore spl followed the guide in post 2 (WITHOUT manual bootloader)
You can not access your windows mobile (WM does not boot)
You freeze on startup screen
You can not start you phone with steps in post 6
Am I right?
If yes, you stucked in bootloader. And unfortunatelly I can not help you...Maybe Olipro.

Well seems like something like this.
See I have no error because of invalid flashing. I had slight water damage. But some days later my device was working again for a whole day.
Next day it didn't work anymore.
When i startup my device and the WM-Splash shows up it makes "bring" and device turns off.
When i plug in the AC charger i can't even get beyond the O2-Splash.
But I can enter the bootloader and flash what I want, it works ;/
I am also able to connect with MTTY, maybe there is a way with repairing it through MTTY?
Full description of my problems here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402765
But if i cant get rid of the problems i have to send it to warranty by tomorrow or monday and i think they will notice that i don't have the original SPL on it. So they will screw me ;(((
So, as I am not a noob to computers I would try ANYTHING to get it back on my own!
Is there also no way of restoring it by using the microSD-Card? So is there no way without Windows Mobile? Not even the holy MTTY? Or any way of debugging it by MTTY to see whats going wrong?
I'm screwed!
P.s. I have also tried another battery in the o² shop....didn't fix it ;(

You need working windows mobile to restore-spl.

Yes but on "task 8" my device doesn't behave as it should be. It just restarts doing nothing.
Seems like i just have to hope the guys at the service center will not recognize my "not original" SPL. 1% chance ;(
Well thanks for now fktsndr.
Seems like there is really no way of restoring it without Windows Mobile ;(
I thought there would maybe be a "Low Level"-Method of accessing the device and restoring SPL.
Can't think of that there is no way of formatting the device on its lowest level (mtty) or transferring the original SPL per MTTY. Hmm...there should always be a way
Olipro, no way? ;(

if I remember right, the polaris hardSPL is based on an MFG bootloader.
this means you can use mtty commands (mw) to unpatch the write protection then flash the stock SPL.
if I don't remember right, and it is not MFG, then you can still use another mtty command with a special file, but this is more complicated and was not fully tested. you can contact me in PM and we can see.
(you could transfer SPL via mtty, but that is also blocked in hardspl because the mtty transfer uses same code to flash the SPL in this SPL common base)
by the way task 8 is exactly designed to just do a soft reset. nothing wrong with that command.
they really meant task 28. this does a hard reset. you can try that. I guess you already did, but just in case!
edit: I just remembered another way if task 28 doesn't help. ifyou don't mind that the device will stop booting SPL, then you can just do task 2a command in mtty. this will erase SPL, and because of hardSPL overwrite protection it will fail to flash it back from the temporary RAM backup.
the result is that the device will not even boot SPL, it will be black screen. it will boot to the radio bootloader only and O2 won't know what SPL was on it before erase.

Newbie: cannot install Hard SPL for love nor money help!!!

Before anyone ask's I have read all the posts regarding installing the Hard SPL but still have the same problem.
When I connect through Vista 32 via WMDC it recognizes my device fine, I then follow the steps in the tutorials but as soon as I press the button to update the ROM image it goes into the 3 colour screen and then into the updating ROM progress bar were it sits at 0% for ever.
My WMDC has disconnected at this stage and then I get a screen saying communication error which is obvious as WMDC has disconnected.
Is this a WMDC issue/ Vista or am I missing something
I then have to soft reset and it just re boots into my standard ROM.
Any advice woiuld be greatly appreciated

hello
1) connect your polaris to PC
2) run update utility
3) when you see 3 color screen unplug USB and replug it immediately
4) your SPL flash may start
5) when flash end correctely your polaris reboot
6) Flash any ROM you want

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried doing exactly as you have stated.
Unplug and reconnect in the 3 colour bar screen, after which it goes into the updating screen and sits at 0% for ages until communication error comes up.
My WMDC has disconnected and does not reconnect.
I'm at my wits end!!

Do it from MicroSD, before format it in FAT 32, after rename the file .nbh in POLAIMG.nbh e copy in your microSD, put microSD in Polaris e put it in bootloader ( photo + softreset ) you will see something like IPL, bootloader, SPLASH1, SPLASH2, gsm & OS, press POWER button and wait, it might be long,
never put off microSD, when it finishes soft reset, in the same way you can flash any ROM, always format microSD before.

I think hard-spl can not be installed with sdcard method!

Why not ??? With Trinity you can do it.

cheers guy's for the feedback ,but not sure about the SD method unless someone can confirm it works for Orbit 2/ Cruise.
Somebody out there must have had the same issue as me regards this....what did you do to resolve.

But this is not Trinity...Try it...
I know You can flash polaris if you use jumpspl (this is used by hard-spl flash) or hard-spl (this is used by os and radio flash).
But if you have original spl on you pda, and you want to flash with sd card, you will not use nor jumpspl neither hard-spl.

hi there.
try to hard spl with your sd card not in the device.
go in to bootloader mode (BL mode - by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone and release when tricolor screen appears),
now connect the device to your pc (it should show usb in the white part)
flash what you may... hard spl first, oli's recomended by me.

ItayE,
Did you try the hard-spl flash with sd method? Does it work?

I didn't read it was Vista compliant so I ran it from a windows XP SP2 machine with Active Sync 4.5.
I did mine by taking out the SIM card and the SD Card then resettting and running the HardSPL.
HTH
Leon

Cheers for the advice guys I have managed to do it.
I used the Hard-SPL-V2 first which worked fine then I flashed to one of A.Serg roms, very nice and quick it is too.
However my reception bars are down to 2 from 4 that I previously had, although the reception seems ok.
Sim: O2 UK
Rom: 1.52.ASerg.4 WWE
The radio version I have is: 1.58.25.14
Now this is were I am confused.
Can I flash the radio Rom without affecting the o/s Rom, I have downloaded a couple of radio rom versions but not sure if you do it the same way as I am scared of over writing something.
Also could anybody advise if they are in UK on O2 which version gives best reception.
Any further advice much appreciated.

$100 Reward if can fix my T8285

Long story short my phone worked fine for months. Went to a 1.56 Rom active sync stopped working. I have already tried everything associated with AS problem, everything. Went to get it repaired at HTC America in Houston, TX there gay and dont support T8285. I have tried flashing via memory card but I seem to be retarded doing it that way. Engineer said mini usb slot works fine, cooked rom may have corrupted AS. Customer service would not let him fix my phone because it was an "aussie version". I just want the phone to sync is that too much to ask? Anyway $100 bucks to anyone that can make it work paid via paypal immediately.

moved out of development

Personally I think your mad offering $100. I'm sure most people would have hepled you for free, including myself. I'm not after your money but offer my assistance.
Have you tried doing a hard reset? uninstalling activesync & reinstalling it?
Flashing different rom. If you can't flash through SD Card, have you tried flashing again via usb. You don't need phone sync'd
Put your phone into bootloader and then connect to pc via usb. At bottom of screen the text should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. Now flash phone by running rom (cooked or stock etc) you downloaded. Put .nbh and ruu file into same folder and then open ruu file and follow instructions.
I severely doubt cooked rom affected activesync.
EDIT
As bonesy said below, you'll need either USPL or HSPL to flash 1.56+ based rom.
Full tutorial or dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ based roms can be found in cRaCKwHoRe's guide. See my signature

Turn off your phone, Take out your memory card, Plug the miniUSB in then power on (Hold volume down press power holding volume down still) This will bring up a coloured screen. Run the ROM Wrapper package exe (BlackstoneRUUWrapper) This SHOULD now install the right ROM.
Please make sure you are using a 1.56 rom with the HSPL or i think it has problems with GFX.

Tried to post in ure original threads but mods were moving to trash each time BAH!

Thanks to both of you guys for your suggestions. I thought I was not a noob when it came to flashing roms but once I could not do it via usb I was a whole different story. Yeah I am offering the $100 just to get people to help. I know you get slammed if you ask a question so I figured I would make it worth someone's time. I am going right now to pick it up from the repair center so I will try during my lunch in about an hour.

ok, that looks pretty normal,so to recap you fully powerdown the phone by taking the battery out, put the cable into both the phone and pc and the turn on holding volume down and it just sits there?, what happens when you press volume up at this point?

Yeah I have been trying on my latop, home pc, and work pc and nothing same result. I have tried different usb cables, os, reinstalling, everything. Only thing I have not tried is flashing via sd card yet.

its sounds like you have a corrupt spl, it is definately worth trying the sd card as it may allow you to activesync but it may then fallover when it reboots and goes into boot mode. This i where user viperbjk (see android dev thread) may be able to help as he has successfully managed to unbrick a phone.
I had this same problem but powering down and simply triggering the and spl reflash resolved it. your problem sounds different though.

How to full format HTC HD without task29????

Hi guys!!
Is there any way to full format htc hd device without using task29?
Two weeks ago I flashed ROM via SD card, and since then ActiveSync doesn't work and I can't establish connection with my HTC HD and computer.
Now I can flash ROM only through an SD card. When I get into Bootloader mode does not recognize USB, but remains on the Serial....
Hard reset does not help because it only erase contacts, emails and other crap. I need something to wipe the device.
Any possible ideas??!!! Please....

didnt you by any chance disable USB connection in your activesync settings?
check that, maybe that prevents you from connecting...
if that's not the case, try updating your drivers...
if that fails, then AFAIK Task29 is the only way to format your device...

I tried to change everything in USB2PC and it didn't work. I took the device to servis and the repairman told me that he doesn't know what is the problem. He thought that maybe some port is broken or something like that and will replace it but none of that. Everything in device works fine. That he told me.
I think I made a mistake. When I flashed ROM via SD it all went great but in the end (after message: update complete 100%) I didn't make a soft reset. Instead I pulled the battery out to re-started device. Could it be the reason?!?!
So this AFAIK task29... what does it mean?!?!
how can i do this?! can you be more specific, some steps or something... please
and thank you for reply
oh yes, and i forgot to mention, when I connect device to PC it start to chargining battery normaly so can't be problem with USB cable as well

be sure to check your activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center settings...click the settings for mobile device or similiar and make sure Allow USB connection is checked...
AFAIK means "as far as I know"..
Task29 is a process with which you can completely erase your system partition...this little process solves a lots of issues..
Let me help you out.
First of all, connect your phone via USB to computer in bootloader.
Run USPL
Download the attached package - it is Task29 with Blackstone Radio 1.17
Extract archives and run Task29.exe
Follow the instructions - it is the same as flashing process
After task29 your phone will reboot but wont boot because there is no OS.
Take out battery and get into bootloader again.
Connect to PC via USB, run USPL and flash your favorite ROM.
I recommend Topix or Duttys.
Let me know if this worked out for you.
PS: Sorry that there are so many archives but I could not get it to smaller size
PS: Also do not forget to backup the data!!! this erases completely everything...

OR You can try to flash a Stock ROM from SD ... probably works like Task29

Try using MTTY. Check firs for bad blocks. There is a command that will format the device.
Check Hermes WIKI, there are a lot of explanations about MTTY and how to use it. Also there are explanations about commands. Just be careful, you can destroy your device.
As far as I know mtty works on all win devices.
Cheers

I can't use anything...
The device can't recognize USB when I connect usb cable with it (it stays on SERIAL in bootloader), so I can't use task29, MTTY or similar applications or even flash new rom with RUU.
I think there is a malfunction on motherboard.
I tried to flash a stock rom with stock SPL 1.14 and this what happened:
It stays in bootloader mode with this error report
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.14.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again (in green field)
I tried to flash stock rom again and I get error code 00028002.
Stock ROM can't be flashed through SD card so now I can't use my guarantee......

so what do you do next to fix ..sorry my ingles

sollution!!
delete your previous connections in activesync, and then you need to HARDSPL your device, and after that you will be able to install romms from your sd card

task29 erases EVERYTHING from your internal storage.
To flash a ROM now turn off the phone (battery pull).
hold the volume down key and press power.
You will now be at a tri-color screen.
now flash any WinMo rom from RUU or flash magldr for Android/WP7.

when you plug your phone into your PC and you're in bootloader does it say "USB" on the phone?
edit: you on a tmobile USA phone or international one?

You don't need activesync on it since you are running from the bootloader. The only reason you would use activesync is to get it into bootloader mode.
does it say USB on your phone in bootloader when you connect it?

task29 erases everything except the HSPL...
so...after task29...
flash your stock ROM and done!
OR
if you want to use a custom ROM that INCLUDES a radio, then flash the ROM and done!
OR
if you want to use a custom ROM that DOES NOT INCLUDE a radio, then flash the chef recommended radio and ROM and done!
i have a feeling this "omega" ROM you speak about might not include a radio. this would be mentioned in the thread of the omega ROM...read and proceed accordingly.

I had the same problem. Turns out it won't work on my Lappy that is running XP but when I tried again using my wifes Lappy with Windows 7 it went straight on. I was at it for two days trying to get it to work. Took only a few minutes once I swapped Lappy's!!.
