I couldnt' seem to find the answer to this but...
If I were to update a custom ROM on my phone (for example from version 1.1 to version 1.2), do i have to perform a hard reset before flashing or just enter into the bootloader screen and flash the new ROM onto my phone?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to hard reset before flashing another ROM. Why would you? And you normally don't need to enter bootloader either. That usually does that automatically.
ok thanks
i'm still new at this and i've been just reading up on how flash ROMS.
I'm always worried about bricking the phone. Thanks for the reply =)

Hello, I need some help from local guru`s please.
I tried to unlock X7500 with AthenaUnlocker by Olipro, from sticky.
In step2 (unlock radio) i had an communication error, probably I didnt cheked my battery, and the procces stopped in the middlle.
Now I got black screen, cannot sync with activesync, phone not start-up(((( at all.
Tryed hardreset, try to repeat the proccess in boot-mode, but no succes.
Unfortunatly I cant flash new Rom, cause this one is uniqe from operator with hebrew build-in. There is some other solution I can try? Maybe some repair tool?
Pls, any help will be useful. Tnx in advance!
br
Try to take out you memory card and sim card.then go to booloader mode a try to flash official ROM.
Yeah, i guess i can repair phone by flashing rom, but i asking if there is solution without flashing? Cause there is no oficcial rom by cellcom_il.. (((
Thanx anyway.
PS. sir, can u pls give me link where i can find oficcial roms? tnx
I used the wrong bootloader upgrade tool the first time and had the same problem - only the bootloader would come up and I thought I had bricked it. I had to re-flash with the stock ROM (available here: http://www.htcamerica.net/support/advantage7501/software-downloads.html ). Then used the bootloader upgrader ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846 ). Then you can upgrade the radio to 1.57.
After updating radio and spl my phone is stuck on the "T.. Mobile" "G1" boot screen.
Any help available? can I access the sd card without booting?
What SPL?

Was it haykuro's SPL? Can you get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?
if it's haykuro's spl...
Hopefully, you READ & FOLLOWED the directions and flashed the RADIO first, then flashed the SPL. If you did not, then your phone is bricked.
if u cn get into recovery reflash ur rom. and like everyone else says hope u flashed the radio 1st
I did the radio first
I was able to boot into recovery, i tried a wipe and a few things but couldnt get it.
Eventually I got it by reflashing cyanogenmod.

The SPL wipes the ROM, so after flashing the SPL you would need to reflash >.>

This may sound like a silly question but please forgive me as I have not yet flashed the haykuro spl.
Once you've flashed the new spl, instead of flashing the update.zip of the cyanogen rom, can't you use nandroid restore? Or will that restore the previous spl as well (in my case HARD SPL)?
I ask because I would like to try the spl, but I'm so comfortable with my rom and settings that I would hate to wipe just to try Hero which is still in development. Call me crazy, but I like stable and finished builds. But I am curious and with a lot of time on my hands but not so much that I'm willing to lose everything just to try something that I'm not going to keep.

I'm not actually sure about using nandroid after the SPL flash, but I'm certain that nandroid doesn't copy your SPL (I could be wrong). It would make sense for it to work.

I HAd The Same Issue, BUT YOU DIDNT BRICK YOUR PHONE all YOu Need To Do Is Flash The Rom , Thats The Resone Its Stayin On The Boot Screen Because Of No ROm Installed So Go Into Recovery >connect Your phone> choose usb toggle in recovery> (if on your pc you need a drivers, try putting the sdcard iin a next phone and connect it to the cpu> drag your rom to your sdcard (ROOT NOT IN A FOLDER) and flash it wen it boot first its gonna take long but dont worry it would come on :good:
If I Helped You In Anyway Thank Me Plzz
If You Still having problems just reply to my post
Hello XDA-ers.
I've flashed my phone with the new ROM from the htc website.
And today i wanted to put Dutty's ROM on it, but it wouldnt flash.. the update would get stuck on 0% and then nothing happens for 20 minutes..
I also tried the udK_Lea_R5_MW6.5_WWE rom but the same thing happened.
Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks in advance
You need to use Hard-SPL.
READ THIS and follow instructions!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
Simple things first:
Have you run HardSPL? (Latest version is required, 1.83 at time of writing).
Have you tried loading into Bootloader manually before attempting to flash? (Hold VolDown when powering on).
If those fail, try and identify what has changed since you flashed the original ROM.
Aaah didnt knew i needed HardSPL..
First time i flashed my ROM it immidiatly worked =p
Thought that ROM screwed my phone in ever being flashed again .
Just needed the HardSPL ^^
Working smooth now, thanks !
my hd2 stops booting after i tried flashing a new rom and it now shows a caution sign.can any one help?
I don't know enough to help you but it will be more helpful for other experienced users if you perhaps explained what you did before this happened such as anything you installed or removed that might have lead to this problem
i was trying to flash a new rom
you may have bricked your device, this could have been because of a corrupt rom or maybe you messed up the flashing procedure. What SPL did you use? If you used SoftSPL then it looksike you may have an expensive paperweight now (I may be wrong but I dont think theres anh way of recovering your device because the custom spl is only there temporarily. If you used hardspl then you are ok because you can just flash a stock rom.
Otherz correct me if im wrong
how do i flash a stock rom now that its not booting up
how did u flash it in the first place? hard spl? or soft?
if you used hard, then you should be able to flash another rom over it..using hard.
but if ou used soft, i dont know, but u might be able to use goldcard for recovery? worth shot
did You use hspl or sspl?
Im not too sure on the specifics but I will try to help you out as best I can or find someone better
(bear in mind i might not answer till the morning as i will go to bed soon, its 1.45 here @[email protected]
i used hspl.but i had gold card on my sd card.but when i was flashing it, it booted from the phone with options to cancel or continue
Talk to mskip, Im sure he can help you out

I've checked my phone using mtty,and it showed I got a superCID.
My question is :Can I flash any ROM without doing Hard-Spl?
BTW,my original Spl is 1.28.0000
I know it's a bit like a dumb questtion,but I want to be reassured before go ahead.
Thank you for your kind reply.
AFAIK, you need to use HSPL (i.e. Secondary Program Loader) to load a custom ROM. Well, you can always flash it, but it wont boot .
Correct me if I am wrong
