Slightly Noob question about flashing

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

Returning phone to HTC

Heya ppl
My phone has a weird issue, Im goint to send it back to HTC. I went to HTC website and flashed their original latest rom, do i need to do anything else to send it back to them stock?
This is the rom filename:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.56.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
This also has SPL, or do i still need to flash SPL, and what SPL version i need to flash?
Thnx alot in advance, take care!
FoOtY

whats the weird issue???... maybe somebody here can help you, which will prove it not so weird after all..

I flashed the stock SPL and ROM back, nothing more. My screen went bananas totally loosing it touch orientation i.e pressing something on the screen the pressure was 1-2cm above where i pressed(sure i dropped it on the street a few times accidently). They changed the whole screen, bazel and the only old part was the back cover that wasn't change. Prompt and fast service within the warranty period.

The problem is with my device screen. Suddely the screen goes all black and can't use it, it's like it's powered off but the phone isn't off. It still responds to the volume change keys (it still makes that annoing sound but the screen stays all black.
I have to get the battery out, sometimes it will start working again, sometimes I have to wait some time and pull out the battery out for a couple of times very strange.
It also happens when i flash the original rom from HTC (the one i mentioned in first post)
Can it be problem with the SPL? The original HTC rom has SPL included?
What can I do? I tried every rom on this forum, problem exists on every rom even original rom.
Do I still need to flash a SPL when using the original HTC rom from first post?
Thnx in advance guys
Peace!!

I put SPL 1.14 back and default rom.

Thanks for the reply!
My only question right now is, what SPL to use with this ROM:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_NLD_1.56.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship
SPL 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, or 1.54?
Thanks!
Edit: I hope to fix my device screen problem by flashing stock SPL.

Thanks for your answer mate, I did only find STOCK SPL 1.54, a greater version exists? I found version 1.54 in the SPL topic.

I got the same problem on my HD (original ROM, never flashed) and I sent the phone to the HTC service.
Result: they changed the motherboard. So I suppose it is a hardware issue and not a ROM issue.

Had the same problem as well, was sent back already 2 times! Hardware problem in motherboard. What is this SPL? can you post the link with the thread?
thanx

Urgent help needed..

Hi. I have the HTC touch HD. I have tried 2 roms (Duttys hd x2 extreme and the other is energy rom) both keep freezing up all the time after a few seconds use. Dont get enough time to even enter a wireless network key before it freezes up. I have tried to go back to the orange update rom from the orange website, that runs really really slow, i have my orange sim in there but it wont register on the network no matter which rom i use. When it loads up the colour is all pixelated and mixed up untill i turn off the screen and back on again then the colour is ok. I have just paid and downloaded the sim unlocker from htc unlocks and that just keeps saying phone is in flight mode.. And now it just rebooted its self for no reason, i wasnt even touching it..
Please help..
Thanks
Shaun

I have been trying to switch on the phone in the comm manager and it just wont switch on....

Some more info would be great.What metod did you use to update the new rom,
did you have any problem before,is this the first cooked rom,etc.

I agree more info would be good, but it sounds like you may not have followed the Guide on how to Flash? Did you use hspl or uspl before flashing? If not then that is your cause.

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!)

I do want to confirm for you though, Ozone(Cedar) HardSPL as well as [ROM][CEDA/OZONE][WWE][* 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.2.00.122209] are working with my Telus S510. Hope you are successful in the recovery of the phone, I will post if I come across anything I think may be helpful.

So did u manage to unbrick it?
Made any progress
Please share if u have

I have exactly the same problem, if somone knows how to fix this, please help

After allot of time i managed to make mtty to work
and i followed the tutorial.
Now what tho.
I need to flash the original telus rom but i cant find it
Thanks
Click to expand...

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 ?
