Hi all,
First time poster, but Ive been lurking for a few months, and joined up a few weeks back when researching a new phone.
Please indulge me. I have done some research, but want to make sure I am correct in my assumptions.
I received my Touch HD today to replace my lost Omnia.
It has an old stock ROM (1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE - dated 11/24/08). SPL is 1.14.0000
I want to update to the latest stock ROM that I downloaded from HTC (_HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe) using the serial code in the wiki because it wouldnt accept my actual serial number.
I tried to update it expecting an error and got an invalid Vendor ID.
Here is where the assumptions start. Do i need to update the USB drivers by looking at this thread Then use USPL following this thread. Then try running the RUU again?
Thanks in advance
Chris

No need to open new thread. Threads already exist on flashing new roms like this one. All help you require can be found in that thread. Any further queries can be posted in that thread.
Please try and abide by forum rules and post in relevent threads instead of creating new ones

Hi,
I purchased my HTC HD off ebay and recently went to the HTC website to download the latest ROM but have had no luck because when it asks for the serial number it always tells me this update is not for my phone...
Is there a way to work out which country my phone is from by looking at the serial number?
Thank You in advance.
Hi ! Congrats for the new HD
Well, to update ROM and stuff like that please read Blackstone ROM development part of this forum. I strongly recommend you to "thoroughly" read all the wiki pages regarding updating ROM [ http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone ] CAREFULLY read everything under "Flashing ROMs" . This will make you better understand all about ROMs and SPL etc. which will enable you to pick among different ROMs available. And most important - this will prevent any damage that you may cause to your HD while updating ROM / SPL.
Good Luck.
the ROM version in settings > device information should give you clues as to where it's from.
The ROM version is 1.18.707.1(23358) WWE which is ASIA if Im correct... But I tried downloading the new one from HTC and couldnt do it...
Thanks...
Hi...
I have a htc touch hd like follow
ROOM ..............1.14.405.0 (21010) WWE
Radio................1.09.25.14
Protocol.............52.49a.25.26U
I would like to update my room by 1.59 or so.
I download and try with severals rooms but when I started the program a error comes up saying Error Vendor ID. I was reading about that but I need a program for unlocked.
The problem is Im just wanna update my room but I cant by that error. And I dont like do anything wrong. Always I read in this forum that You should be probe everthing that was tasted before.
So please anyone Help me and guide me.
I will appreciate it
it's called read/research before flashing ROMs. i think your post is the 7th or 8th i've seen in the last 24 hours asking for help because the OP flashed first only to discover the flash didn't go well, lol. go to the Blackstone ROM forum and read and follow the HD Dummies Flashing Guide and you should be good to go. good luck!
Question about flashing the HTC Blackstone
Hello Everyone
I have a htc touch hd like follow
ROOM ..............1.14.405.0 (21010) WWE
Radio................1.09.25.14
Protocol.............52.49a.25.26U
I bought my phone unlocked. My question is when I going to flashing my mobile I will lose the unlocked. For example Im just need put into the phone the sim card for the country to syncronize and works awesome. Something could happening with that stuff?
Thank you
No, you should not lose your "unlocked" state. You WILL lose all the data on phone.
But that is also stated on many other posts...

Read this guide and the wiki. Both should answer all your questions!!
Flashing a phone is similar to hard resetting it. All data will be lost on phone, but you will have a new OS, i.e. a new rom

hi every body
im new here and i found this site very useful thanx to you developers !
i have htc touch hd from orange /uk with wm6.1 and after 1 year using it i want to upgrade the rom to the newer wm 6.5
i cant do it from the htc.com web site
so can any body help me with that ? there is so many pages in this forum so i couldnt find what the best is.
many thanks ..
btw : im not professional with installing rom, so i prefer easy way to do it with usb and computer !
A'laa
im looking for rom not very modified ...i need all the original programs come with htc hd rom 6.1 like remote desktop and gps and games..facebook, youtube... ext
thx
since this has nothing to do with development i will have to report this thread to our beloved mod Fallen Spartan
but when you already asked you can learn everything you need to know here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
and you can find a nice rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
(i use that one and it is faster than 6.1 so start with it,although it is a bit old it is still far better than the others IMO....but hey if you survived with stock 6.1 rom for over a year....then you won't bother with this one being released on 17. November 2010.)
almost all new roms are "1.56" so read the guide for 1.56 roms, if you use anything else your screen will look cyan and all messed up,but don't worry you can prevent it by reading or cure it by flashing the device properly with corresponding uspl/hspl (1.56 in most cases)
you don't need to bother with understanding this above right now,when you rad the guide it will be crystal clear to you
uspl unlocks the device for just one flash
hspl unlocks it forever
if your device is still under warranty i advise you to go for uspl since you won't have to flash SPL (let's say "put the lock back on") to send it for repair (flashing cooked roms voids warranty)
read,learn and search before asking something again (i am 100% sure that all questions you might ask are already answered somewhere in the forums,and if you know how to use search you can find all the answers...if not click one of links in my signature) and if everything fails,ask your question in dedicated thread such as Q&A thread in general htc hd subforum or in the tutorial thread i pointed in first part of the post
and welcome to xda-devs
Think farukb answered your queries very nicely. The rom development forum is for rom development only. All queries should be posted in General forum
The dummies guide thread near top of this forum is a step-by-step guide on how to flash roms. Post all flashing queries in that thread
As for which rom to use, try a few and make your own educated opinion afterwards
Thread moved to correct forum and closed

Hi,
New to forum. So hi again!
Looking to upgrade my HTC P3450 from Windows 6.1. Would like to update to any newer version of Windows possible.
Is this possible?
Does anyone know where I can get FULL detailed instructions to carry out upgrade?
Thanks in advance
Have you read the stickies in the Dev section (Where this currently is?) There are stickies telling you exactly what you need to do for an upgrade. However, due to your other thread, you will need to get that fixed before you can do anything.
I do not advise you flashing a rom with your current issues. It may be worth this merging with your other thread to be honest.
I have HTC P3300 and it came with WM6 with the following config.
ROM : 3.7.701.1 WWE
ROM date : 6/21/07
Radio : 02.69.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.30
ext Rom : 3.6.707.101
Now i want to upgrade it to WM6.1
I SEARCHED THRU MANY POSTS. i got so many answers to my questions but i have some fundamental questions and if anybody can answer that i will be really obliged.
1) I have vodafone India. Can i flash a ROM which is for another carrier. For eg. when I searched the thread "Artemis_Upgrades" I could not find any HTC WWE factory ROM which matched the above specs. BUT when i saw the factory ROM of DOPOD WM6. It matched the above specs perfectly.
so the basic question is if anything goes wrong in my upgrade then can I flash the DOPOD rom on my HTC
2) I have searched the forums but i could not find a valid factory WM6.1 ROM. If anybody can provide a link then it would be a great help to me. Please also specify which ROM (dopod or any other) is compatible to my HTC.
3) Once i get both the above factory ROMs (WM6 and WM6.1) i will be flashing my HTC and the steps that i would follow is as mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401814
1) soft -reset using the USPL
2) flashing the ROM.
Please let me know if I need to do anything other than this!
Thank you in advance.
I suggest reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870041

pmsl neo, loving the xda spirit hahaa
bhaskaramp
follow the link that neo gave you and flash your p3300 with uspl1.11.cmon.
you cant go wrong if you follow the steps on my thread in post 1.
(post 1... here...)
if it does not work, or if you have any questions, just message me, im always here to help.
*do not try anything untill you have sucessfully done uspl1.11.cmon.
Sooo.. the point im trying to make is: you wont even need the original/official rom once you have got uspl1.11.cmon installed.
eg, if you flash a rom and it goes wrong, uspl1.11.cmon will let you flash ANY rom, so the original/official rom is not even needed!
Rn
i know i said it before but ill say it again: im always here to help
And that's that.
