Unable To Update HTC HD To Windows Mobile 6.5

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

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.

[Q] OS Update

How can i update my OS, im currently using
OS-5.2.21892 (21892).5.0.89)
i see alot of things only for WM 6.0-6.5,how can i get those updates?
any answers, or suggestions where to look would be greatly appreciated

If you have the T-Mobile USA you are running window 6.5 i thin the Euro version is 6.5.x but you What you are showing is your radion if i am not mistaken...so anything for 6.5 should work...the difference between those is the 6.5.x has the start button on the bottom among other things but that is the distinguishing factor. Hope this helped

Everybody is using the 5.2.xxxxx OS's.
If you want to use a new build, go flash a custom ROM as they incorporate the newest leaked builds in their ROM's.
Also, you are running Windows Mobile 6.5, even though there isn't anywhere that says 6.5, just know that you are.

Thanx, wasnt sure, thats why i asked, but now i know.
appreciate it.

[Q] A general Question about elf

Friends i hve htc elf 7 days ago i have installed onyx wm 6.5.x
now a question arises in my mind that in future if i want to go stock rom that is windows mobile 6 using shipped rom can i move to it.....
Because going from windows 6.5 to windows 6 is a type of downgarding.....
anyone answer..???

Hi,
I flashed my Elf and Elfin many times and I had no props with custom or shipped rom.
Maybe the ISP/SPL can make problems, if you installed newer ones.
These are my experiences.

Of course you can! But why go back from Rolls Royce to Subaru?

Want to go back to windows mobile 6.0 original....
what to do anyone tell me step by step
now i m having windows mobile 6.5 onyx.....

Find the original Rom for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2 and flash like you did with the Onyx

you're still using the subaru's machine even if you're using Rolls Royce chassis .
i think 6.5/.X consumes a little bit more energy than its predecessor.
and OMAP just can't keep up with the new upgrade, even with omapclockkeep

Right
I was thinking about the difference between Custom and Stock Rom

Vice Versa

Hello,
I have a question about having windows mobile 6.x on windows phone 7 devices. In Microsoft, or elsewhere, forum they said that downgrading from WP7 to WM6.x is not possible just as upgrading from WM6.x to WP7.
Well, since it is been done to upgrade to WP7, I was wondering if downgrade is possible?
Thank you.

You can downgrade to WM6.5 from WP7. Just flash your 6.5 ROM as you normally would through the bootloader, this will remove MAGLDR as well as WP7 and return your phone to 6.5

Nope, I think he's talking about a WP7 native phone, so no MAGLDR no downgrade AFAIK.
PS. this should go to Q&A

Yes, I have WP7 native and would be most happy to downgrade it to WM6.5. I guess that it isn't posible to do it now, because there are no tools created for it, but it would be nice to know that it just could be possible to do it.

Anything is possible with the right developers behind your phone. Cottula was the savior for our phone!
Sent from my HD2 using XDA App

Well, I do really hope that development will go, just a bit, to that direction.

I wouldn't wait for that to happen. The WM6.5 drivers would have to be created from scratch.
If you *really* want a good WM6.5 device, get a HD2 with a good ROM on it.

Yes, but the problem is that I have already purchased the phone. I do like it, but a bit anxious for new apps. I've considered HD2 long time ago, and I always had a qwerty keyboard on the phone (Wizard, Raphael, Kovsky, Xperia X2, Touch Pro 2 and now 7 Pro) cause I like it. But, unless WP7 starts to develop, HD2 is the best possible solution.
Thank you krazyakar.

[Q] how to revet to windows mobile 6.5

hi guys, i need help with my HTC HD2 device OS. i got the phone and it had windows 6.5 on it, some guy helped me install the froyo android on it and removed the windows 6.5 completly from the phone, so didn't leave dual boot option. i'm trying to updgrade the 2.2 version to gingerbread 2.3, but the problem is the gingerbread can be installed only using executable windows files and using active sync from windows 6.5 but not from android based OS. is there a way to do so? or is there a way to revert back to windows? i've searched everywhere but all posts say how to install android on HD2 using windows 6.5. apreciate any help here

You need to go to the thread for the ROM you are running it will have all the support you need! If not then choose a different rom
