Error 270

I really hate to make a bad first impression but...
No matter what I do I get this error. I was trying to HARDSPL the phone, I put it into boot loader mode, I installed all the .cab's . It starts the progress bar up gets to about 3% and the phone screen goes black and restarts and then ERROR 270 shows up in the RUU. I searched around but found nothing for the Herald about it. Just asking for any help as to what I can do.
Thank you in advance.

ok that was disabled. I enabled it, same problem.
Seems to be running Open Touch 5.0.
Just bought it off ebay.

Ok think I got it. Seems to be very hard to find a newbie guide for first timers of this sort of thing.
Found some files by ivanmmj and sifted through them. Found a USPL program that SID unlocked the phone, after that I was able to run HARD SPL, and everything was fine. Now my next step is to try to flash a ROM on it , wish me luck.
Think after all this work I'm going to try to write a guide for first timers like me to explain this stuff a little better.

If it had OpenTouch 5.0, it might have already been HardSPLed. Either way, I'm glad you found the answer yourself. It shows that you actually did your research.

That's really not a bad idea. I know I was EXTREMELY confused the first time I flashed my rom. It took me a lot of reading to finally understand RUU stood for rom update utility. You do know for some roms, it's not necessary to hard spl. I went from stock rom to open touch 3.0. What rom are you thinking about flashing to?

There's a walkthrough by me somewhere in the forums.

Flash-help needed

Hi there guys,
i have i question/problem. Yesterday i wanted to flash my cruise with the dutch M-Amine-rom. I,ve done some flashes with my old wizard somewere like a year ago. Now I did read the polaris/cruise-wike, did succesfully install hardspl. I made an activesync-connection and brought my cruise in bootloader-mode. The problem (for me though) was that when te cruise comes in bootloader mode there was no more activesync-connection, there seems to be an usb-connection because in the tree-collored screen you can see 'usb'. My problem is that de second RUU-screen makes you clear that there has to be an active-sync-connection before you can flash/update your rom. So i didn't flash because i was affraid to brick my phone. Maybe it's normal and maybe the RUU will make the connection when running but i cant find the answer to that question. Can somebody help me? Is it normal that there's no active-sync-connection in bootloader-mode? Will the RUU make the connection and flash the device anyway?
Second strange thing: i secondly decided to flash with my sd instead according the discribed procedure. I ended up with an os with the number 1.28.00.00!!! So just an older version of wm6!!?? Afterwards I flashed back the official rom (3.13...) without being in bootloader but with an activesync connection because i thought with the official one you don't have to be in bootloader. Is this a right thought?? Anyway, I succeeded to replace original rom.
Sweat on the forehead!
Thanks in advance for great help.
Greetz!
Should I remove this tread after getting an answer?

Relax Ron - you have nothing to fear
The behaviour you describe in bootloader mode is normal - no need for activesync. You can click OK and away you'll go!
As for flashing from your sd card, only thing I can think of is that you somehow renamed an old nbh file, rather than the M-Amine nbh you were trying to flash.
I've used both methods (the sd card way has got me out of trouble a couple of times) and they both work fine.
Good luck!

Thanks for quick reply. I'll try to flash this day. In fact i'm quit sure it was the right nbh-file, so that part of the problem still remains a mystery. You're a great help, Thank you.

Thanks, i know that tread. I've spend lots of ours reading and searching before flashing because i want to prepare myself. I don't want to be some idiot that starts flashing before he knows what he is doing you know.
By the way. I downloaded the rom again to be really sure i have the right file.
Again thanks for your help!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I succeeded!

What have you tried? Have you pulled your USB out of Phone and PC?
Have you soft reset your phone?
Put a bit more detail and we can help

ok so first i used the Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex with ActiveSync and that worked fine. Then I moved the BLACIMG.nbh into the BlackstoneRUUWrapper to install the new ROM, and that worked fine too, 100%. Then I removed the USB cable and restarted the device. Now I am noticing that the device is working properly for maybe 10 secs, but then it freezez, and I have to resett it

Usually after a flash its recommended to Hard reset atleast 2 times did you do that?
Did you follow crackwhores instructions completely?
When I have flashed I wait till the finish screen on pc shows the phone should shut down and restart itself thats when i disconnect USB
when phone shows welcome screen i pull battery out and hard reset

oh so when everything is finished, and there is the FINISH screen on the PC, you should take the battery out and hard reset! Did not do this. New to all this. Managed to connect my device again by USB, and putting Miri's WM 6.5. Will hard reset after that

No Problem
I have been help all through this site
its great bunch of people

Hi Ozmoran
I still have problems with my device, first it works for a number of minutes, then freezes, then after around 5 minutes comes back to normal. And secondly, cannot get my reception to work, ie cannot receive calls and messages at the moment. Its asking me, "Do you want to turn the phone on?" and when i click on yes, nothing happens.
This is the exact procedure I am following:-
1) Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex. After 100%, I click on Finish on the PC, and remove USB cable. I remove the battery off and on again and I hard reset (from the small button on the back right?)
2) I do the same procedure for BLACIMG.nbh and that works fine too, 100% finished.
After this, first I notice that the colours are not vivid colours, but like an old PC colours, so i turn off and on the device (from the button at the top). Then after loading, its asking me to click on the "+" to align the screen, which I do, follow the next screen, and the ROM is working.
However as I said, sometimes its unresponsive, and cannot get reception from my mobile provider.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help, I am a complete newbie

ok found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
will follow it this eve and see what happens

Reason you are experiencing this discolourization and not reception/signal is due to you most likely not following flashing procedure properly and possibly using wrong HSPL before flashing rom.
You need to use HSPL 1.56 to flash a 1.56+ based rom. Any previous version you need to use 1.14 HSPL.
I notice you have already found cRaCKwHoRe's guide. If you follow it, you will be fine. If you get stuck, just post a query inhis thread and someone will help you!!

great
i downloaded everything from that post and will do it this evening since the phone is at home.
Hopefully I can use my phone again very soon

If you also read this section in the wiki, it refers to your greenish discolourization as well and offers assistance. Though if you follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide you'll be fine

thanks guys
any preference on any particular ROMS that are popular?
I was going to try Miri's WM6.5

Good rom to start with if you want wm6.5, would also try EnergyROM HD by NRGZ28. Both excellent roms. As for wm6.1, IMHO Duttys is the best.
For you, I would try each and make your own opinion

Thanks
Will try Miri than and see how it goes
Last question (hopefully), once I will install the Hard SPL, there is no need to install it again if I want to flash the ROM again right? Just install the ROM i want
Thanks a lot for all your help!

Yes, once you install HSPL its permanent and you have no need to re-install it. You can restore default SPL at a later stage if you want.
USPL is temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash to new radio or rom
If I were you, I'd read up on both USPL & HSPL in the wiki for a better understanding before you jump in head first!!

yeah i will read more about it, just wanted to experiment.
Thanks for all your help!

Hey guys
managed to do it! Flashed the ROM and working perfectly now!
Thanks a lot for your help and time

T-Mobile HD2 with serious problems

Firstly sorry for the long post.
I'm having a few problems with my HD2, and I'm looking solutions that dont involve flashing the t-mobile ROM (which is 1.43.110.2). I have all the HTC patches installed.
The problems I'm having are ...
*Favourites are disappearing sporadically. I cant figure out whether they're going when I sync it up or just purely at random. They stay on the internet tab but disappear from the favourites menu. Folders are not affected.
*Music player: Lags. I have to wait about 2-3 minutes before a song starts playing on the first attempt, then its fine. This happens even if the little spinning circle hasn't appeared (this appears after you have updated the storage card by syncing with media player). Also when sliding album art back and forth in landscape mode, it freezes, and then jumps back to the beginning of the stack. Didn't used to do this.
*Music Sync - my biggest nightmare right now; I really need help on this one! Sync in windows 7 windows mobile device manager works fine. When I load up WM player and attempt to sync the storage card however, the device will sync for a couple of minutes, and then soft reset itself.
Hopefully when 6.5.3 comes out officially HTC will roll up all the crappy patches and T-mobile will approve it... but until then I'm stuck with these annoyances (in addition of course to crappy SMS, constant crashing, lags etc., which I certainly wasn't expecting when I got my shiny new HD2

I was in a similar boat to you. The Tmo ROM is really poor and I hate to tell you this but 1.48 or 1.61 are the answer.
If you really can't consider that option, I'd say that you should do a hard reset and see what issues you still have with a fresh ROM. The original T mo ROM is on here somewhere. download that as a backup before you do anything, just for safety.

realy sorry mate but he is right try and see if you can get hole of a free goldcard i run 1.48 insted of t-mob its not purfect but worls alot better

Thanks for your responses. I guess flashing is the only option, cos right now this phone really is virtually unusable. I'll have to try and get my head around the whole goldcards thing but if I get stuck I'll start a new thread...
Thx!

Hi mate, had the same issue. The gold card thing isn't too bad, theres a great idiots guide on here that I used, the hardest bit is getting the number off the MicroSD card, dont do what I did and lose all my data on it (as you edit some values which makes Windows no longer recognise it sometimes). Take a copy of whats on there just incase. Again there is a post that mentions a way of reversing the change so you have lost all your data on the memory card.
Good luck, I did without any probs to flash from 1.43 to 1.48 using the Goldcard method

I have the same problem with favourites and i'm on the 2.02 ROM. I never touch IE on my computer though so i've not put much thought into what happens with the sync. I'm just throwing together a wee app to sync it with Firefox though so that will solve my issues.
As for synching it with media player (and i'm old school - I drag and drop files), could there be any corrupt/unrecognisable data in your playlist? You could try a drag/drop dump of music onto your device and see if that works.

There is now HSPL and SSPL available so goldcard is no longer required, using SSPL or HSPL is much easier too

Hi, I converted my T-Mobile HD2 to 1.48 using SSPL. After a couple of teething troubles with Firewalls and a hanging Activsync - fixed with a PC restart it worked just great. It scared me twice when it hung in the boot loader but taking the battery out and restarting fixed it. I made a goldcard aswell just in case but do not really know if it would have worked.
Now its loaded The HD2 seems faster, has more programs and the battery seems to last longer particularly with WLAN.
I still have 1 open question though that I have, touch wood, not had to find the answer for yet. If I do a hard reset which ROM reboots, T-Mobile or the 1.48? Perhaps somebody here knows? I would be grateful to find out before I have to try it out.
Good luck and hopefully it works as well for you.

i believe if you hard reboot it will revert to the Tmobile rom.. as you used SSPL... only if you do a HSPL will it stay... correct me if i'm wrong guys

Incorrect...your Rom does not change regardless of flashing method SSPL or HDSPL. If using the SSPL method a hard reset will remove the SSPL only, and your SPL ONLY will revert back to original, Your latest Rom does not change....

Thanks for the quick responses guys but I am still a bit confused - sorry.
Perhaps in laymans terms -
If I have to hard reset, when the phone reboots will I get all of the T-mobile c**p again and have to go through the SSPL process again- which is not easy when on a business trip, or will I keep the HTC version.
If as I think I understood from band27 I get the HTC version back but lose the SSPL what effect will that have?
thanks again

No, When you hard reset you will get exactly the same ROM as you have before you hard reset. IT will be just like the first time the phone booted after you initially re-flashed it.
The only way to return it to T-Mobile's ROM is to find the download that 'football' posted a few weeks ago and flash it.

Plz let a noob continue this question
If i use SSPL to flash a cooked ROM and for some reason want to go back to a original ROM, how?
Is it correct that i only take my original ROM and flash it as usual, or do i need to do annything els?
Do i need a goldcard?
Plz help a noob
