Slightly Noob question about flashing - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Right i decided to get rid of the "in the future" 1.65 radio and well downloaded the radio 1.59.44.04 used the same romupdateutility.exe as with the 3LIT3 Rom and well it has hard reset my device. So now i have to set it up again but for future use what should i have used. Would it have the the custom RUU that i have seen around here.
Thanks for the help and maybe in the future i wont make stupid and time wasting mistakes! lol

i've made good experience with flashing roms and radios with sd card only. so there is no need for any RUUs at all... if you haven't done it already, you'll find the howto in the wiki...
so flashing only radio never changed the rom... are you sure it was really only radio?

Welcome to the club Chris - have done the same thing myself!
There is another RUU that was created by udK that only flashes the radio. If you have a bit of a search you should be able to find it.

Hey thanks for that i knew there must be a way and had seen that floating around but it only hit me that it may reset when it was rebooting which was a little too late really...
Next time all will go smoothly

Other than that i cannot start the phone proccess, everytime i do, its getting closed.. so my phone got no service now,
I tried upgrading to another rom after trying this one and got the same response
(the phone service is the one allowing me to make phonecalls, the WM6 is starting up fine but really slowly)

I already flashed my rom 2 times and got those results, what good will this do?
what spl are you on
what my senior member above meant to say is what spl are you on
1.14 or 1.56
check that first and then follow cracwhore's instruction step by step

Reason why you are getting this colour distortion is because you haven't used USPL or HSPL before flashing rom
If you are using USPL you need to re-run USPL before every flash to rom or radio. If you are using HSPL you only need to run it once.
Check your SPL in bootloader
If it says 1.54.0000 you will need to use USPL and then flash 1.56+ rom
As mentioned previously by DRTigerlilly & kingspeare you will need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide correctly and make sure you follow the whole guide.
Let us know if you are still having problems or alternatively (and I'd recommend this) post your queries in cRaCKwHoRe's guide thread so either myself, cRaCKwHoRe etc can provide you with better support

Flashing Roms and Themes for T-Mo USA's HD2?

I figured I would ask the question before anyone else does if it hasn't been asked before.
I am going to get the phone on release day, I am Currently an Android user and I've decided to get a second phone to play around with and was trying to find out if maybe the processes of flashing roms on the T-mo USA HD2 are going to be the same as the Euro HD2 and if maybe if anyone (I know its not officially out yet) has already tried doing anything of the sort to their US HD2.
I am aware that the phone isn't out, but I'm maybe trying to put this post here for maybe future reference or maybe to use as a guide as to how to apply roms or themes on the US T-Mo HD2.
Thank you in advance and I'm sorry if this maybe considered a noob question. But unfortunately I'm a noob to the hacking of WinMo world but like i said previously I'm an Android guy and that is how i originally got introduced to XDA
has been asked and at this point we cannot flash roms to the us hd2 the simplest way because...
it has a new spl so we cannot use the current hard spl.
but! there is sspl which allows you to flash roms but not radios.
reccomend just wait til the new spl comes out since your a noob afterall
Wait, so SSPL works fine?
look through my posts theres a couple about this. in one I was told sspl works

Thanks for the help, I feel like I'm starting all over again, like its a new learning process all over again lol oh and thanks for rubbing it in that I'm a noob I'm gonna go kill myself now, you see what you did? lol j/k
Yeah i figured I'm jumping the gun a little since the phone isn't really out yet, I guess I'm just excited to hack it, thanks for the info.
yeah im in the same boat, i picked it up already and its been weird using a stock rom but it actually works pretty well i just want 6.5.x back

1st one who killed the HD2 ;-(

I just HSPL my new T-Mobile 2.08 US HD2.
Worked soooo smooth. Thanks for that. Now the tricky part, I did not read detailed enough that the rom I flashed was a 1.66 based one.
now the HD2 is dead, no powerup, bootloader mode, reset or chargeing led.
Any way to safe it or back to t-mobile?
Thanks Guys
=( omg.... i was impatient too... I was downlaoding all these roms but remembered i didnt install the new HSPL thing.. and then i read the posts -_- sigh.. sorry man
I am so sorry man. Your best bet is to hope you can find a station where they'll work some factory reset magic on there...
Yeah. Sorry to hear that. I wish the SPL program would warn the user or refuse to install if it detected an old 1.66.
No brother
YWell Brother u and me both have to play the old hood wink on tmobile and play the it just died face so we can get a new one. Fortunatly we have 14 days if you kept your receipt, to take it back and nag saying it just shut of for no reason. Its hell of bricked, even HTC would have to completely take it apart to fix it, so no trace of anything would ever come back. the bad thing is their sold out everywhere till Tuesday or Wednesday. But ill wait its a bad ass phone. woooo! where do you live dude? in vegas?
I have read that you can microwave it for a few seconds and that kills it stone dead. No way they can tell what you flashed.
This is a very extreme method and an absolute LAST RESORT!!!!

remove your battery for 3 minutes and put it again and try ti lunch boot loader
Have you tried the SD card flash method.
You need to copy the original Tmob ROM file to your blank SD card, rename it to leoimg.nbh (i Think), and then try start in bootloader.

Which hspl did you flash and which rom?
the new one for 1024 T-Mobile 2.08.
Thanks for all replies,
For the Microvawe version, if you smash it with a hammer, has the same effect. Go Green.
No kidding, I ask for a repair solution not a Brick it more.
Bootloader is not working at all, so no SD way as well. And a rom based on 1.66. Smart as I am, I deleted the file.
Like I said, HSPL was great. Was still working after that.

I laughed my ass off so hard at that comment!
So I got it exchanged, I did the Hard spl and its fine so far. Still working.
Dont want to brick it again,
Is there any cooked German Rom that I can use on a USA T-Mobile HD2 based on 2.08?
To make my HD2 in German language?
(post removed, wrong thread)
This is why I'm choosing to wait a little bit before jumping in and flashing my TMOUS HD2. I don't have the 'cajones' to be a guinea pig! I'm waiting until everything plays out and the process is tried and proven safe.
For now I'm enjoying the stock TMOUS Rom, and applying tweaks here and there. I'm running into bugs and annoyances here and there, but don't feel a strong urge to flash roms just yet...especially when so many others are having issues!
Yeah, when it comes to the software side of this phone, I just take it all in with the regular rom and see what I REALLY want out of it as far as options and whatnot. THEN I get to the rom goodies after a lot of review and feedback.
Hardware I'll dissect the guts if I have to anyday though.

I think you'd be much better off browsing all the thread titles in the ROM Development section looking for a rom that is [GER] and [2.08+]/TMOUS based
As long as it's been taken off a TMOUS device, it will work on your TMOUS device

he he. I know it's hilarious. As I said, absolutely last resort if you are taking it back for warranty cos if they find any spl other than factory one your warranty is void straight off the bat. Nice to see you got a replacement without problems.
I just read that advice from another post here on the forum and it is way extreme!!!
As posted above - any rom based on tmous original roms should work. Good luck

YOU might use BSB Tweaks and choose manila language in the menu.
I bet it is based on the tool that downloads the needed manila files from the internet.
Try searching for the tool here on xda or use BSB tweak (but there is a solution to get it fully working german!)

flash back to old radio?

Before you start flaming me, please understand I did a thurough search of the forum and found nothing conclusive. What with bricks and RUU semi solutions, its kinda scary.
Im running flipz radio, and would like to flash back to the old one in preperation for the 2.1 update. Has anyone sucesfully flashed back, and if so, how?
I do not have a nandroid containing the old radio (but from what i gather, nandroiddoesnt effect the radio?) due to an accidental sd format (dont ask)
I do have the backup recovery img from my initial root; will this help?
Thanks in advance!

I thank you most kindly for your speedy response. The threads Ive read have all been inconclusive; ill review your link and report back.
Flash went perfect.
Just wanted to thankyou, and apologize for not searching as well as I should have. I guess I was a little scared and just wanted some attention? Lol jk. Mods feel free to delete, or not, as I promised a report.
Ive stuck with the new radio since its come out, and have in no way noticed better battery life or signal; if anything-worse! -89 to -95 on new radio, -75 to 85 stock. Maybe its cause Im in detroit, maybe my phone just doesnt agree with the new radio (we all know how tempermental the Hero is)
Just my personal experience. I apologize for the clutter.
And yes, lets keep our fingers crossed for 2.1..

Lol I did all the fixes.
Even now, responding to your post voa handset, I can tell its faster. And after flashing the radio at 30%battery, and charging since my last post, ive gone up almost double.
So question is...again inconclusive threads.
Can you flash back the old radio then RUU with out issues? Given there is always a chance for a brick but to avoid issues would it be smart to flash the stock radio before running RUU??? Or is the damage already done?

OK ass, I understand you can flash the radio back, but my question is about running RUU afterwards **** head.
Post #4 Says nothing about running the RUU just that he could flash the radio back which we know is possible with other threads out there.
Quit being so damn arrogant and try to answer the question that was asked.
/rant moron.
Someone pass me the popcorn...
Lets not get upset people.
@K; in my not so professional opinion, the RUU issues are when U'ing between a 2.1 based rom and the RUU, a 1.5 rom. If you have the stock radio and any 1.5 rom, theres simply no reason the ruu wont work
Avs radio flash worked for me,.i havent ruu'd yet but i will report back later this week a conclusive thread.
Can you flash back the old radio, RUU, and TRUELY unroot?
Tune in next time...

Thanks

I got through that guide as well, but when it comes time to flash the rom, it hangs at 0% and then gives me error 262. I go through recovery but it still doesn't work. I dont have hardSPL either, is there any way to get HardSPL from bootloader? Also, when i try task 28 in mtty again, i get :
Format start
Fill RSVD information for block 351 to 384
TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!
Format end
also, the telus rom you can get from a search.
hm... Thats weird
i cant find the telus rom
I can only find the raw form, and i think you need to cook it or smthn
Anyway, if it doesnt work for you, it wont work for me either, cause we are having exactly the same problem.
It would be awesome if we can Install hard spl from bootloader.
But no1 seems to be able to help us.
We are the only users who are bothering to reply as it seems.
Is it an official signed rom you need or the recooked raws? (Not sure how successful I'll be but if it can help I will see if I can recook them.) As for the official signed rom, I haven't been able to find one myself as of yet.
we need the official telus signed rom
Because we didnt hard spl our phones, we're stack.
So either the official signed rom, or we need to find a way to hard spl our phones through the tricolor bootloader
Any ideas?
I'm stuck at the same with with my Mobilicity Snap. I went through the HardSPL and it said everything was successful but now my phone is bricked because I failed to notice SPL 1.24 still on the tri color screen. I also would like to know if there is a way to use MTTY, some other tool, or get hardspl onto the phone through the bootloader. HardSPL hangs on 0% from the boot loader for me.
Also tried MTTY task 28, task 29, reboot, reflash to no avail.
We all seem to have the same problem, I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.
I guess there's no luck finding a factory rom for the s510 series...?
You guys are braver than me, I won't attempt a flash unless I have an out waiting.
Come one ! Really there is no fix for the file with the bad code ?
