My HTC Pharos 3470 is HardSPL now ... w000t !!! %)
Did it from the first time ... thanks to Suracha and the reading of this whole thread ... (my spl was SPL 1.11.0001)
Here are some basic notes for those who are still stuck
1. Set Button 3 (Camera) to <None>.
2. Transfer the extracted files (JumpSPL.exe & Pharos_JumpSPL.nb) to your device and execute.
3. Change 0x00000000 to 0x10000000 as Jump Address.
4. After geting the file list, press Camera first; then press Power. This is little difficult, if you pressed Power too long; you device may be turn off.
5. Tap the Pharos_JumpSPL.nb file, it must be tabbed while Camera & Power button are pressed.
6. After above, you should get grey background screen.
7. On ur pc quickly ( means make usb connection ) double click the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the HardSPL dirrectory, and follow through the flashing process (what steps in flashing process?)
several question from me.
1) are this steps right?
2) what to do when get Grey background?
3) should i have to remove memory card and sim card?
4) did i have to backup my og rom? but how?
plz correct me >>>
I m also searching for the working tutorial to flash a rom in a safe way and avoid any damage to the phone!So can anybody help me???
Both of you are on the right path. The steps listed are definitely correct. Flash HardSPL files once using the below method first if you are not concerned over the warranty. Then you can flash any ROM you like from the Forum as many times you require. Incidentally the HardSPL for it doesnt seem to be permanent in my Pharos. I was experimenting with some ROM's and then flashed back to Original 6.1 ROM from HTC and voila it was back to original HTC SPL. Now I have to use Suracha's method or HardSPL again to replace the ROM as its back to the restricted SPL.
hey i recently got a htc pharos i wanna put android on this or the manila rom can someone email me links mactvsinist

1.- dont know i use standard keboard, never cared about it.
2.- yes you should, the best guide is : download, install, run on pc, follow onscreen instructions.
3.-dunno about the ROM but you can backup your stuff...
4.- install hardspl first, then the rom.
Thanks!
Anybody else know about swedish keyboard?

hi,
i don't know if you found your answer yet, its out there, just go through the treads and use the search option.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600&highlight=newbie
what i did was:
1. synchronise first with activesync.
2. start with the official htc update rom.
3. install Hard-spl
4. then hard flash. mail-button + explor button then reset with pen, hold mail and explore ,remove reset. then when asked press send ( green phone button ) do this , and when asked do it again .
5. install cooked rom
6. hard reset.
7. synchronise
p.s. putting the device in bootlader mode is fysicaly demanding ( power button +camera-button and reset with pen, two hands!! ) and seems not to be neccesary
tip:
1. there are a lot of good roms out there try which one you like best ( my favorite m-amine dutch )
2. look for a good backup program ( i like sprite backup, backups on computer and device .exe files ) and if you have a rom you like and synchronised and installed all you programs on and configuered the program- and contact tab etc and everything works fine then backup ! then you can flash all you want
and easely go back to the rom you liked .
3. sometimes if you have to many bugs etc. just start overagain
first hard reset, sync and then start clean with the official rom ( so 1 to 6 as described above )
problems i encounterd : no active sync
no wifi
start all over and they vanished.
have fun!

FYI: You don't need to push the power button to go into bootloader. Simply hold the camera button and use the stylus to soft reset.
Pezmannen, if you are new the 1st place you should start reading (before attempting to install any cooked ROM) is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Polaris
-all answers to flashing questions can be found there.
Best feature in this forum is the SEARCH
I don't know how you guys do it deciding which ROM to use. You need b_lls the size of rugby balls. Just reading all the suggestions: And I'm sure you mean well, but it scares me to try.
Good luck!

I'm new to the whole PDA / Smartphone concept so forgive me if I sound stupid.
I have flashed my Blackstone using HardSPLWrapper which puts the current ROM on 1.14 OliNex. Now, I want to install a new ROM (this incase you wondered)
However, Im at a complete loss as to how to do it, Ive read the guides but theyre making no sense to me.
Would anyone be able to point me to a dumbed down version of the guide or even be kind enough to write out a step-by-step guide for me?
Thanks in advance!

There is a guide in the wiki, but here's a quick guide for you
A warning before you flash any rom!
You must flash HardSPL first to be able to flash any rom!
.... * More info and instruction about HardSPL!
An alternative is USPL, it doesn't change your original SPL!
.... * More info and instruction about USPL!
Tips about flashing a rom
.... * Use fully charged device
.... * Switch off your device by holding the Power button untill a menu pops up
.... * Go to bootloader by holding Volume down + Power button at the same time
.... * Connect your device to your PC
.... * Start BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe and follow the onscreen instruction's
An alternative is to flash your device from storage card

.... * Follow the above steps to go in bootloader
.... * A messages will popup, push power button to start flashing or Volume down to cancel

I took this from Laurentius, so I hope he doesn't mind. L26 ultimate series for Touch HD

Can someone put some instructions how to flash our diamond 2 ?
Please help.
Me too!
I've also been reading through a lot of material from xda but aren't confident enough to jump into messing with my diamond2 just yet.
A tutorial/guide would be a big help if someone has the time.
Cheers
Have finally just gotten around to flashing my Diamond 2 for the first time (used to flash my Orbit all the time). And it really is a piece of cake.
1st..... you MUST flash the HardSPL Unlocker to your phone. You can get it in THIS THREAD. It's at the foot of post #1. Also, READ the first two posts of that thread so that you make no mistakes. But in a nutshell:
Download and unzip the Unlocker file;
Sync your phone to the PC;
Run the HardSPL Unlocker from your PC; (Sync connection may be lost at this point so if your PC says new USB device found, say yes to establishing a new connection)
When the flash is complete, your phone will re-boot;
To confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.83.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
With that done, you are now ready to flash the ROM to your phone. Easiest and safest way is Bootloader method which is best described by duttythroy. So download the ROM you want to try, unzip it and if it's not already so named change the name of it to TOPAIMG.NBH. Copy that file to an empty SD and place the card in your phone and follow the instructions below:
duttythroy said:
SAFEST WAY TO FLASH YOUR ROM IS THROUGH STORAGE CARD METHOD:
* Copy TOPAIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
* Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
* Turn off your device by using the Power Button.
* Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
* After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade or Press Volume down button for cancel upgrade , select press to power button and it will start upgrade Rom.

When the flash is complete do a soft reset and away you go!
It really is that simple
2 Questions:
- My htc diamond 2 is a free phone, not a operator phone (locked). I have to apply the HardSPL Unlocker ? What for?
- The bootloader method works on a htc original 6.5 rom ? I have to rename the file rom becasuse this is a .exe file?
orry for this questions but i don´t want make mistakes.
Thanks to all.
Hi again,
Not too sure about a free phone needing HardSPL, try searching that thread for more info.
As for renaming the ROM to TOPAIMG.NBH, that is so the bootloader knows that it is an Image to install. All ROMs (to my knowledge) are .NBH files so an .exe file would be of no use.

README EN:http://www.4shared.com/file/148321684/fbea80c6/README_EN.html
I am stuck at to power on the device with vol down pressed.
All I got is the tri-color bootloader screen and the "00028002 NOT ALLOW" message and than starts the tri-color no menu to flash if I fry with the load file from device...If I use the .exe file with the new room I get the tri-color than the "00028002 NOT ALLOW" ant the flush starts till 1% and after that.....T-mobile mist is starting again.

I have follow your suggestions...I get the manufactury restore message and the unit is loading the original T-Mobile image....I am stuck...

sounds like your trying to flash the device with another ROM, if so do a search for leo gold card this will allow you to flash original htc ROMs only until hard spl is finished.
HD2 T-Mobile brandet
You are right...I have purchased this unit (over 600 Euro) and I needed in English.
I have done the Gold card procedure with two different micro-SD cards and still no success...now I am powerless and really mad...what is the next step???
I hope that this issue can be solved only with your help MASTERS OF HTC Phones
What problem do you have with the micro-sd ? what about formatting the sd-card, have you done it in the quick modus or in the normal mode ? And why did you read a german discription, when you're from canada ?

Hello,
I have returned my phone for repair some weeks ago, and now i got it back with SPL-3.03.0000 on it, now ive been reading some topics where it is saying that this SPL can not be flashed to HSPL?
Would be realy dissapointing, cause ive been using the Energy ROMs for a long time.
I cant fully understand these topics if they are about the HD2, so thats why im posting here, and might get some handy info.
Thanks.
Well found the sollution myselfe, and thought id share if more people wonder:
1. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!! (this is a precautionary measure and is not compulsory)
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
4a. If your Rom is a .exe (customRUU.exe is already included in the Rom file) then run the file
4b. If your Rom is a .nbh file then run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards
7. Perform a Hard Reset to clear any leftover data from your previous Rom (see intructions at bottom).
8. Set up phone as required and job done.
