Unable To Update HTC HD To Windows Mobile 6.5 - Touch HD General

I downloaded 2 or 3 different ones from this website and everytime I try to update from windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5, it just stays at 0% and after a few mins says error?
How exactly do I safely update to windows 6.5?
Thanks

Read and follow this step-by-step guide

Hi, many thanks for your reply, however after many hours of trying to do a simple task, it is just not working.
I have windows 7 x64 unfortunately and I'm running into many different problems.
I cannot even use the USPL because of driver signing, even after disabling driver signing, I cannot update the HTC Touch HD driver.
Everytime I attempt to run USPL it does not detect my device, even after following the steps.

Hi there,
do you get any specific error codes that are reported while you attempt to flash?
Also check to make sure that you have your anti-virus software disabled, if enabled.

You running as admin? Activesync installed properly? Tried front and back usb ports? Net framework up to date?
If it's already detected by windows then just Hspl it. You can flash away and never need to worry about doing it every time you change a rom or flash a radio after that.
The only thing I needed to change to get mine running in Win 7 to Hspl it was just to run as admin. But then you need to do this for just about everything anyways.

Hi everyone, many many thanks for your support.
You sent me a link on what to do and it actually worked, I now have windows mobile 6.5 on my htc touch hd thanks to you people.
I however, had to do this update on a spare laptop that had xp, I had too many problems doing it in windows 7 x64.
I firstly installed microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, then ActiveSync, and finally HSPL to flash the rom to Blackstone something and now I'm just installing Blackstone energy on my htc touch.
Thanks once again for everyones effort to help. One final question, will windows 6.5 Blackstone energy run MUCH faster than my current 6.1?
Reason I ask is because as of now, my htc running windows mobile 6.1 is very slow and sluggish, what will I expect from the new 6.5 Blackstone?

Hi again mate,
glad you got it working.
For information on the latest 6.5 and 6.5.x builds, please read this link to help you make your own decision.
I suggest you try different ROMs and see what one suits your needs. There's alot of fast ROMs out there

Thanks, I will check out that link.

If there's the ROM you're lookin' for in the thread linked by jeremy, that'll be the original ROM
If not, you should CID unlock your device and flash one of these ROMs (WM 6.0) or you can even try other WM6.1 or 6.5 systems
Hey guys...i tried to install the software i told u about which i downloaded from htc website...but it didnt continue..it always breaks and give me connection error message...

Connection error?
Can you flash using SD?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing
Make sure the original roms fits your phone.
well..i've read the SD flash, but the problem is that the rom file is exe file not nbh, and secondly what's the stylus, sorry to ask for many question but i'm very new to pocket pc's!
Stylus is that 'stick' or 'pen' where you use for the touchscreen.
I thought there was a nbh version, that someone has stripped from the original.

Upgrading to 6.5

Hey, If i upgrade to 6.5 and i wont like it.. can i downgrade to 6.1, if it makes sense?
Also can i have some help on how to upgrade, i looked through a lot of pages but i only found topics, where people found problems or what they like or how to change etc. but none on how to actually upgrate to 6.5.
Thanks
Yes you can but I dont think that will be nessery.
It depends if you like to flash official rom, download it from htc web and connect device in activesync mode and follow instructions.
If you like to flash a cooked rom have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585201
thanks to Drag-On
1) Download the WM 6.5 Rom from htc.com to your PC
2) Connect your phone to your PC via Active Sync
3) Run the downoladed Rom and follow the guide.
Remember to backup date befor the upgrader

"installing" 6.5 *is* flashing. Your phone doesn't just do an upgrade, it completely removes EVERYTHING, and then replaces it with the newer version.
You should install HardSPL first, no matter what you do (it's just good to have).
then, follow method 1 or 2 described in my post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585201)
also, 99% of all ROMs you will find here come with windows 6.5 (a ROM is practically a version of that windows package, many smaller differences, all built on the same foundation)
if you need even more detail, just ask.
only difference in therms
installing installs software on the current system
flashing changes software on the ROM

Windows 6.5 or 7

Can anybody tell me how i can get WM 6.5 or 7 on my HTC Touch Diamond?
Where do i find it and how do i install it? I currentlly have WM 6.1
Thanks!!
Someone would tell you to use the search engine, but im also new on this board.
Windows Mobile 7 is not released until now. Windows Mobile 6.5 or 6.5.5 you will get on this board. Its important that you save your Files from the Phone before you flash it. Its also important to have .Net Framework 3.5 on your PC or you will get an error from RomUpdateUitility in Windows. I had this problem yesterday when i was flashing in WinXP and i tried a new installation. Get the installer from the Microsoft Hommepage: microsoft. com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6
IMPORTANT: You have to erase the space between microsoft and .com. You have to do is at ervery link i posted. Because its not allowed to post links for new members like me and so it works only this way.
Now you need HardSPL, a bootloader, from here: forum.xda-developers. com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
I installed this version yesterday, its unsigned but it works.
Here you have a howto to flash HardSPL, Radio and Rom: modmydiamond. info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=26
Then you can flash your Radio to a new Version, get it from here: rapidshare. com/files/353046193/1.17.25.09-SR.rar.html - this is the newest Version i have found, but if you have Problems with it use 1.09. Users on board say thats the best one (but older): megaupload. com/?d=JRJVNC4U
And now what you really want, to flash a new Rom. Its works the same way like HardSPL and Radio flashing. You will get a lot of roms with WM 6.5.x on this board, but you have to look. The are all a little different. Here some examples:
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=517300
i dont have use this but i try to flash it today
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=635028
is see it now for the first time.
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=648771
Finally you will get all this Roms here by searching the board:
forum.xda-developers. com/forumdisplay.php?f=430&order=desc
If there are questions, reply in this thread and i will answer in time.
Hope i could help you and sorry for my bad english
The Diamond is not have the hardware to support 7. Plain and simple. There are countless of ROMS available on the board... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430
But becareful as the roms don't work for both GSM and CDMA. Do some research.
These steps that you have to do:
1.Do hard spl 1.93 by olinex. (do MTTY also if you can)
2.I flash more than 5 wm6.5 ROM, This is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678.
3.Do hard reset after flashing any ROM. Flashing ROM will DELETE all your data.
Wm 7 has not been released, But if you want wm7 theme, check this out http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,4007.0.html. Good luck:

Please help with HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

Hey there,
A close friend of mine has a HTC Touch HD and he never updated its ROM or anything because, well, he's not really familiar with the whole Windows Mobile or HTC world in general, and neither am I.
It has recently been freezing way too much and I believe that's because it has never been formatted, updated, or anything. Therefore, I borrowed the device from him in an attempt to try and fix that.
I'm familiar with Nokias, BlackBerries, iPhones, and have actually owned a couple of HTC phones but for a short while and never really bothered with backing up, updating, or such.
Can someone please guide me on what to do? I believe it has Windows Mobile 6.1 and the latest is 6.5 (according to research I've done). There is also something called ROM which is the OS, I suppose, that you install on the device, and I found hundreds of ROM and I don't know WHICH one to install or even HOW to install it.
I have also downloaded HTC Sync from HTC's website but it's not detecting my phone at all. Right now I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7 64-bit in an attempt to connect with the device and backup or w.e.
Thank you so much in advance and please help me!

Installing ROMs is eassy on XDA. There are a lot of guides! For example, go to the windows mobile ROM development and search for what you want!
Maybe this info will help you:
-a ROM is a file which contains the OS you want to install. To install a ROM, you must connect your phone to USB and use special tools (use a guide to know);
-BUT before flashing, you must have SPL, which is a bootloader unlocker so you can install any ROM you want. And you can also update your radio.
Just basic info, check the guides please!

Thank you for your reply, mate. I swear all I've been doing is checking the guides and the FAQ and I still cannot manage to do the HSPL unlocker, unfortunately. It keeps giving me an error. I'm going to try in a couple of hours and see what I can come up with.
Can you please link me to any ROM that is WM6.5 and working fine? I really don't care what is missing from or added from it as long as it's working.
read the sticky, where all the guides and the rom link there
Thank you guys very much. I read the guides in the threads (BlackSTONEhenge Hyper) and the guide on how to do the HSPL thing and it worked!
Right now I am at 80% of the WM6.5 ROM installation. Hopefully everything turns out great in the end.
By the way, all I needed to backup was the SMS messages and the contacts, and I did that on a site called Bloove. Right now I can see them on bloove.com in my account, but does any body have any idea how to restore them on the HTC device using Bloove?
Thank you very much.
