Hi all,
Lately i've been reading about the HTC BLACKSTONE procedure to flash, came accross the links and read them. My phone has the version of
ROM - 1.18.707.2(23358) WWE
Radio/Protocol - 1.09.25.14/52.49a.25.26U
I was wondering if someone could help me out in telling me is there is any additional hardware required to flash. I've heard about something called the flash box that is used to flash the phone, and as i'm new to this HTC TOUCH HD. wanted to know if this will need any additional hardware other than USB cable and phone???
Also, i wanted to know according to you ppl which will be a stable ROM, my phone battery dies like within a day, hence planning to flash the radio too.
So if u can help me with with the details of any Stable ROM according to you and a stable RADIO that will not kill my battery this fast???
Please help me out...!!!
I don want to brick my phone without knowing the complete details...
Thank You.
Any kinda help will be appreciated....
you just need the cable and phone. nothing else. your cable should be recognized by your computer.
Thanks for the reply. But the drivers need to be installed. right??

Heya everyone,
I have browsed this site before and loaded software onto my P4350 before.
I now have a Touch Dual (Nike), and would like to put the same software on the phone. I got it right a while ago... sort of (some apps still had bugs).
Could someone make it real easy for me and post the link to the latest version THAT WORKS ON MY PHONE.
I don't need footprints.
The issues I had before that might have been fixed in later versions are:
Weather app crashed EVERY TIME you opened it
Opera browser would NOT save the home page
Thanks guys.
BTW... this software f*ing rocks. You guys at XDA and whoever else is working on mods for it are doing an awesome job!
Hi !
1)
First you need you HardSPL your Phone...
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
And search further on to get Version Hard-1.22.
2)
Afterwards, you need to Flash an Original WWE Rom like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373452
You NEED to flash this in order to get the newest roms working right !
Maybe, you need to do the HardSPL again after that.
3) Radio
Head here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
And get Radio 1.71.x or 1.6x...
4)Custom Rom
Finally, you can flash anything you want, i really like gullums rom as it is fast and stable:

If you want to try it, have a look to the Android Thread - And give it a try:

I will religiously follow the steps provided and let you know the outcome.
Thanks for the help.

well basically i need a good rom....(i know i should have searched the forum for roms....but i need your valuable Wisdom in choosing the right rom cause if i choose a wrong one i might mess things up.....and no i am not Lazy)
well...i want a good rom....plz suggest me a few...i will now mention what i need in my phone....so plz..be patient
i need
Windows Mobile OS Rom(preferably The Latest 6.1 cause its the stable one around....i dont know about 6.5 is it any good..?)

Mobile Office,Pdf Reader,yahoo messenger,a nice all in one media player..(like vlc on pc platform....it plays everything i throw at it...i just love it..)
i would also like to have the Htc Touch Viva Blue Theme.....i dont Know what its called but i saw it on my friend phone and it was pleasent...
Hey, u know that your phone can brick, right?
You really should read a lot about flashing before doing it.
Start >here<
After that proceed here
If you read everything carefully and want to flash a new ROM be shure to
do it step by step as it's suggested.
And I guess you have read it quite often, but you have to find your own ROM.
Try some and then decide which to use. It's most satisfying^^
And yes, 6.1 is more stable than 6.5 for now so you should take a 6.1 ROM.
But have a look at these two ROMs. I have tryed them both besides many other and I used the A.Z.T.O.R. series for a long time -> very stable and really fast! Will use it again when X3 will be released I don't know if they fit all of your personal needs, but especially for some special theme or so on you should search the Thread you posted this request
A.Z.T.O.R.

Good luck!
PS.: Please use a topic that contains some more information next time
oh dang i could only get to the first sentence because i have cdma
Thanks for the reply marcel .....i know that i am risking it...but hey...better to die than live a coward all my life ....i want to go thru this...
and okay nxt time i will name the thread more appealingly....
I would recommend two options. You can use Cloudy 1.1 with and without Manila. I have tried both. The WITH Manila has the TF3D with it which is very nice. However, my preference is WITHOUT Manila and then add SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. This is more user friendly.
Both options are very fast and with lots of free ram (more than 50Mb)...
I am not sure if these work with CDMA - please check first.
By the way, I think there is so much great help on these sites (and PPC Geeks) that you will always find a way to get your phone looking and feeling the way you like.
Good luck!
Oops...!!!
Sorry i forgot to mention..the Diamond i right now have was flashed earlier...so right now its having a custom rom by diamond project team....well i am looking for a move basic rom.....which is almost or most likely official rom...
if you want a official rom you can visit HTC.com and download the latest official rom that have been released. whether or not you can use the custom spl without doing any harm i have no idea about since i do not know anything about roms and flashing i just know that HTC has official roms on their site
I think u can download ROMs from HTC if u own an original-HTC device, right?
I wasn't able to download their ROMs because I bought my Diamond from a German reseller
-> Same phone, nearly the same look but an unsupported IMEI (?)
And again I can propose an A.Z.T.O.R. ROM^^
Alpha Zero Tweaked Official Roms = A.Z.T.O.R.
And as your phone was flashed before you should have no probs flashing a new ROM^^ So try some and then choose
The Whole Story!!!
Actually The Diamond i Right now have was bought off the gray market..it was actually a orange network locked phone...so the phone is right now unlocked,gray market product....
Okie....i will take a look at AZTOR..
Ahem...
Well i decided to go with this hardspl....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400402 but i cannot seem to understand which radio file to choose....and Roms are Relatively not a big problem...i will try AZTOR OR Duttys..plz gimme a latest stable Radio file...

hi, i havent had any windows mobile phone before, im completely new, however im not stupid and can learn quickly
ive ordered a clone, to get used to it, then ill buy a real jade once im familiar with it all !
so ive ordered one of these :
www . dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12811
so does anyone know how i go about installing a WM6.5 rom on it ? ill need guiding alot as i dont know what software to use to flash or what to do etc...
all help is appreciated
thanks
Tom
If you're not stupid, you should be smart enough to read the stickies and such
if you read this you will see you have to run this to unlock your device, so that you can install custom ROM's on it.
Just follow the steps provided.
Next, you can download a rom. the rom will have two files: customRUU.exe and ruu_signed.nbh
Just hook up your device to your computer, run customRUU.exe and you're done!
Flashing takes about 10 minutes, and in my experience you can use your computer while it's busy.
After the ROM is flashed, hard-reset your device to make sure the ROM is loaded correctly by your device.
Bro,
keep in mind, that although the phone is clone to HTC jade or elphin, the hardware between the original & clone is deffer, so all the roms here will not work on ur incomming clone.
Add to this it will not be at that good quality like HTC or ACER or Lenovo or samsung....
at the end, its ur decision.
same opinion here:
wouldn't have ordered a clone, but the original. difference in price cannot be that huge any more.
sorry lad, you're on the wrong track.
not development related moved to Jade general
OK, thanks to everyone here I finally flashed my HD2 and I liked it a lot. I tried the Energy Rom and Core Cell Rom and they both worked great and have there advantages. But I have a new question now. I want to change my phone back to stock, which stock rom should I download? And is the installlation process the same as flashing the phone with a custom rom?
hmmm...
im assumin you have a tmous HD2. if so you can find the original tmobile rom on their website. just search for hd2 software update on the search portion. same as here, you can find it. just gotta look and not ask a question when you can find it yourself. also i think this question doesnt belong under this thread mayb under HD2 general..
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm54430.xml thats helpful... use it to flash back..
ok, thanks for the help. but i have a question and something else as well. I clicked on the link and read over everything it says:
NOTE: The software update is only designed to update the ROM version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1. If at any point the software was changed from 2.10.531.1 or 2.13.531.1 by flashing to unsupported software, sometimes called rooting or hacking, then we strongly recommend you do not perform this update, as it was not designed to update unsupported software.
It seems like their saying don't use this update if I flashed another rom besides the stock rom which it came with. So exactly what do I do from here? Not trying to sound slow or anything, but I want to becareful with these things. And besides I don't have a spare phone to use and would hate to brick this one up. Any help is appreciated.
I got my TMOUS HD2 yesterday and to go around customs, I asked if the seller could flash there nonbootable ROM, which I made (HTC Oboe XIP and no IMGFS to be sure it wouldn't boot ). When it arrived, I just flashed the 3.14 ROM without single errors and keeping HSPL2.
Do it, there won't be problems .
this thread came in time. today i got a message from tmobile indicating that there is a new update available. i wanna give it a shot and if i don't like it then I'm going to upgrade to the cell core v3 since i've been using v2 for a while
Hey guys, today I wanted to update my HTC HD2 to another ROM but I think I messed up bigtime. when I try to flash anything on the phone it will stay at 0% and do nothing. Did I brick my phone?
I really hope someone can help me!
did you install hspl? what are you trying to instal? what is currently installed?
Your post is practically useless with zero information.
