I downloaded the USPL file and followed all the steps, put the ROM that I wanted which was a 6.1 in the RUU folder, made an AS connection and ran the USPL. When I finished the Updater said it had failed with a Code 270 error message, but the RUU screen in the USPL said it had completed successfully. When my phone booted, I had the same ROM, same information as before I flashed it....what am I doing wrong? I am not shy about flashing my phone, I'm just missing a step or something. I removed my SIM and SD card to flash, that is correct also right? Suggestions would be appreciated because now that I have my Wing, I plan to try out many 6.1 ROMS until I find one I like. Also, can anyone tell me how I can get the latest most up to date version of Open Touch....when I click on the link it goes nowhere and ttrans says he's working on it, and then I saw another link where another person has started working on that ROM, Can you provide correct links so I can read about what's going on with that? Thanks!
Typically I have to try a few times before my ROM flashes right usually 2 or 3 tries. I get the same message too just give it another try.
I had an AT&T Tilt with a data plan. It worked well. I Just recieved the HTC Touch T8285 which I purchased. I installed the SIM card and the phone work well. I noticed that the internet does not work. Can someone give me some gudance on what I need to do to get the data connection to work over the AT&T network.
Thank you.
if i remember correctly, it's because the the Telstra ROM locks the data connection to Telstra's service. did you add at&t's connection settings to your device? if so, i take it that didn't work so i'm not sure if there's a workaround when using the stock Telstra ROM. as soon as i got mine, i applied the HardSPL package and then flashed a custom ROM. after doing this, the phone automatically configured at&t's internet settings and i've been good to go ever since.
I am getting a little confused on which 1.56+ base rom to use for the flashing. Can you help. Not an expert in this area, but did alot of reading to educate my self.
Thank you in advance.

search the Available Blackstone Shipped ROMs for a WWWE (WorldWideEnglish) 1.56 ROM and you should be good to go.
I found the ROM I need. I trying to run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_1560liNex.exe. Tried several times. Getting a "error 262" ? Any suggestions?

not trying to be rude/contrite/an asshole, but if you read the Tutorial (from my signature) there are troubleshooting guides for the error codes and other issues to complete the HardSPL. i know it's a painfu/steep learning curve (that we all have to complete), but once you complete the process, you'll be better equipped for your next flash. my recommendation is to create a checklist of ALL the steps (e.g., using Word, Excel or a piece of paper) required to flash a new ROM and use that as a guide. good luck!
O.K. got through installing the HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_1560liNex.exe). The issue was that I when into the boot loader manually rather than allowing the HSPL application to do it. I have a distorted color screen. I did a alot of reading and I believe I did it right. I also installed the 1560liNex twice. It did not help. When the HTC touch HD is booted up in has the disported colors. It appears to go away after the sleep mod. I seen some posting on this, but I do not seem to find a resolution. I verified in boatloader that I am running "SPL-560liNex" The ROM version prior to this was "1.21.841.1" Should I proceed to install "RUU Blackstone HTC WWE 1.56.405.1" hoping that the color issue would go away or continue to try to resolve the distorted color issue? You comments would be appreciated.
Thank you,
the only way to validate you've updated your SPL is to go into bootloader mode and confirm that you see "SPL 1.56 Olinex". once you install SPL 1.56 Olinex, you have to use a 1.56 (or newer ROM).
Hi Everyone
I have been trying for days and reading through all of these forums trying to work out why I can't load a new OS onto my HTC Touch HD. I have followed all of the instructions on this forum and all I can get as far as is downloading the new ROM and trying to install it and it gets to 0% on both the phone and the ROM Flash utility and then error's out.
I am really tired of having Telstra crap on my phone as I am not with them anymore and want to change all my settings but I can't as it is programming with all this crap in my phone and nothing can be changed.
Could some really nice kind people out there help me out before I give up and throw this really good nice phone out.
Have you read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
What spl is currently showing on your phone and did you use uspl or hspl? Please post any further question in the thread linked above.
Try this guide. It's pretty easy to follow and you shouldn't encounter any problems.
As you have mentioned that while you run the flash Utility, it stops at 0%, therefore, it should eventually provide you with some type of error code - see this link as it lists error codes and possible resolutions when attempting to flash a rom with the RUU:

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.
The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.
same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine
error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.
Error 260, T-mobile HD2
Error 260 during ROM update
I had the same problem and tried everything (?)
Finally I got it work.
After I started the update the first time, I got the message, driver was not installed successfuly ...blabla
I ignored the message, tried and the connection disconnected every time again.
At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done

First time flashing the radio and kept getting error 260 from CustomRUU.
Read so many threads and all say sync the phone with your PC and run CustomRUU. Nobody said to run it under BootLoader Mode.
This simple note helped a lot for a newbie like me.... thanks
Error [260]
Hello
I want to try to update my HD2 from 2.2 to 2.3.x but I always geht thr Connection error.
I´ve flashed my HD2 from Windows Mobile 6 to Android.
I thank you for your help.
I'm new at this. I've followed the directions on how to install cooked ROM but I keep getting an error (Error 262). I don't know what to do anymore. I've changed computers, played with the connection settings, reinstalled Window Mobile Device Center, and it still hangs on me. I have to recover and I'm back to square one. I'm trying to install the Core Evo. Any tips? They would be greatly appreciated.
Would be helpful to know your spl/hspl version ...
Your phone type, HD2 / TMOUSHD2 ...
Did you put HSPL3 on first?
so on and so forth ...
If you can post your phone info and the info at the top of your bootloader screen would be helpful ..
I had the same problem as you.
I solved it by flashing with new HSLP3. After i used this flash i had no problem with error 262 and been able to install any custom roms.
HSPL3 is on this forums.
