Hello,
I've temporarily switched to this phone, and I need to make sure that everything is OK, before flashing a ROM.
According to past experience, HardSPL is required before any custom ROMs. However there are several different SPL options, and different versions of HardSPL.
And also there is the issue of radio ROMs. I have 1.65.23.29. Do I need to change this?
I decided to go with HardSPL, however I still cannot flash any ROMs.
The ROMs I tried are TWICE and TWINS, netiehr USB nor SD based flashing worked. USB says it's not compatible, SD does not recognize the file.
The bootloader is like follows:
NEON200
SPL-1.00.Olipro
CPLD-3
How can I fix this situation? (The phone still works with old 6.1 atm).

so I've created a kitchen for a new windows build (21890), by copying the old kitchen, and adding the new windows build into the copied kitchen. Everything got processed correctly, no conflict of older builds or whatsoever, as the kitchen says the rom is generated correctly.
Then I use the custom ruu to flash the rom, and after 100%, I got a message that the image is corrupted. I rebuild & flash a few times, and it's the same.
So I took the rom, flash it via sd card, and it works! And I thought it could be the cable problem, so I use another cable, on another usb port, and this time round it works. However, subsequent regeneration & flash of the rom fails again. so it's not about the cable/port, something is amiss here.
so enough of long story, what could be the possible reason?? I have been cooking & flashing my own roms w/o problem for the last few weeks except today. So it can't be my notebook problem (which is running on win7 64bit)
anybody? I tried flashing an older rom, w/o problem.
just the new one that I've added the latest build of winmo. No problem flashing from sd card, just not able to flash via usb.
did you install the reliability update for win7 x64 the other day?
ive had issues with using sspl since, sometimes enterbootloader doesnt enter bootloader..
on my win 7 x32 machine at work i have no issues
as i use the 202 spl i tend to use sspl to flash my own roms..

what's reliability update? I checked the updates that happened in the last 2 days, it's just update for MS security essential and windows defender, nothing else.
I suspect it could be the kitchen problem, as I cooked my rom together with radio. Somehow, I moved the source radio nb file, and it appeared to have caused the problem despite me updating the path of the source radio. I disable the radio, cook it, ok. Re-add back the radio, cook it, ok again.
hopefully it stays that way.
BTW, I tried spl 2.00, I can't flash any cook rom ,so those folks who said spl 2.00 is a supercid spl is wrong. I suppose you are able to flash custom rom with spl 2.00 because of sspl? do you need goldcard for sspl, or it can be done like HD?
I'm using the 2.00 spl also and using sspl to flash a new build rom, the OS on PC is W7/32

teh 200 SPL is MFGR, or CID unlocked, which is region free.. or the same as having a gold card.
nothing to do with flashing custom roms, as they still need to be signed by HTC
as sparkie confirms, just use sspl to flash custom roms with it.. (as long as you run sspl while the device is booted not already in 200 bootloader mode).

do I need goldcard to do sspl? Thats what I read before I plunge into hspl few weeks ago.
edit: oh so what you are saying is that the stock spl 1.42 requires gold card to achieve mfgr, whereas 2.00 spl is already mfgr so Ican just do sspl directly w/o any need for goldcard?
I flashed now several times in spl 2.00 mode, when it freezes because I made a not bootable rom, I have to flash the 2.02 rom again and after that i flash again with sspl
it could be the LeoCustomRUU.exe file you have may cause the problem. Who knows? Have you tried hex compare the RUU files?
Hi Guys, Need some help.
Have just flashed my ROM to Duttys new one, Hard SPL'd it first, which worked, now showing SPL-1.42.HSPL
Then I flashed to Duttys Rom, all went ok and completed sucessfully. Hard Reses afterwards, but now it won't boot up. It gets to preparing windows for first time use then resets and just hangs, any ideas any one?
Can you get into BootLoader Mode?
Maybe try to flash a shipped ROM first and after that retry the custom ROM
You probably forgot to flash the updated radio?
Thanks for the replies, I can get into the bootloader, so will revert back to the shipped ROM hopefully.
I thought the Radio was included in the Dutty ROM so didn't need flashing seperatly?
Most cooked ROMs don't have a radio built in. You have to identify the correct radio then flash that separately. This is becoming even more important with the new builds that require the latest radio's to work properly.
I can't understand why people don't take the time to research flashing properly before jumping in.

Ok, I have found out that although it said it includes the radio, it doesn't, so there lies my problem, thanks guys. Off to find the Radio now.
Hi,
I am unable to run the stock ROM Utility for my phone. I have tried doing what it says in the Read-Me file and it hasn't helped. I have tried it with phone running normally and in boot loader mode too, but I am getting this error all the time.
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25. 26_1.09.25.14_Ship is my stock ROM which I downloaded from wiki pages.
I want to load Energy ROM on my device from Miri. I would do it straight up i.e. normal ROM loading procedure but I've read that it's recommended to install the Stock ROM (No, I would not like to do Task 29 since I am sticking with USPL) and then install Energy.
I tried a bit but couldn't find any solutions.
Cheers.
What's wrong with going the HardSPL route?
I would like to stick to the stock SPL thats why.
I did try to evade that error by the way by going into bootloader mode and upgrading to the latest drivers and not the ones that we use to install cooked ROM's; the setup ran fine but then came back with the Invalid Vendor ID.
When I installed Miri's ROM, this is the exact ROM & Radio version I had, so how come I have had this error? Any ideas
I would give straight installation from Miri's to Energy a go but then at the moment Miri's ROM is running kind of "ok" apart from battery drainage and with upgrading without flashing the stock rom, I fear I might start to get those errors and I would be back to square one of flashing a stock ROM; hence my idea of flashing the stock ROM.
I found the solution. Apparently I was selecting the incorrect ROM. I realised that when I got the Invalid Vendor ID error. I bought this phone second hand and I just reliased that it was on Orange. Flash to Stock ROM worked now preparing to flash kwbr's ROM
Cheers

I have done a lot of researching and haven't found a particular solution to my problem. I am fairly new to ROM flashing, so I may have made an unrecoverable mistake.
When I began to unlock the device, I used the TitanUnlocker which I now see that only should be used with pre-GPS. I thought it was successful and tried to flash the stock ROM then proceeded to the custom ROM. I have also tried to install the radio because of course, it doesn't have the radio like it should have. However, it won't boot and is in the following state:
When booting into WinMo, it sticks at the splash screen and also says No Radio. I have tried installing the radio via SD card, but the bootloader doesn't seem to recognize it and so it makes me believe that the microSD card slot is busted.
On the bootloader, it says:
TITA100
SPL-1.20.Olipro
I have tried flashing the stock ROM but it fails out at 11%.
Update for clarification: I cannot use Hard-SPL-MFG to get Olipro-2.40 since I cannot connect to activesync.
If there is anything you can think of to fix this, or the correct combination of bootloader, ROM, and radio, please let me know as this is my primary phone at the moment. Thank you!
Update: I also figure I'd try a different SD card (smaller) to see if that solves the problem with the updating via card.
Moved to general as not rom development
Figured out the problem. The 2gig card was rejected and it flashed with a 512mb card.

you get this fixed? If not you can flash from bootloader. You just need to plug it in. But if I remember correct you need to be synced for bootloader 2.40. So you need to flash a pre gps 2.xx radio and flash a WM 6.0 rom. then you should be able to flash bootloader 2.40
I have a very strange problem and if anyone could help me I'd very much appreciate it as I can't find anything similar in the forums (with a solution) after a month of searching.
My HD2 has HardSPL3 and the ChuckyDroid ROM with Android on an SDCard.
The USB connector on the handset has stopped working (the metal D-shape thing wobbles about) so I cannot flash a ROM to it via the ROM Update Utility, only by the LEOIMG.nbh on an SDCard method works.
I need to send the handset back to Vodafone for a warranty repair, but obviously having HSPL3 and a custom WM ROM invalidates my warranty so I need to flash the stock ROM back to the phone to remove them both.
Problem is that I can flash any custom ROM I find to the handset using the SDCard method (Except Energy ROM's for some reason) but when I try to flash the stock Vodafone ROM using this method it fails to start the phones flash routine.
So I'm stuck with a phone I can't charge (using desktop charger for the battery atm) and I can't send back for repair.
Any ideas?????
Thanks in advance!
dont worry too much about the rom, get a close to stock custom rom on there, use hspl2.exe to remove hspl (set it to 1.66.0000) and it should be fine.

Is it possible to flash HSPL2 onto it without using the USB cable?
The connector on the handset is totally borked so i can't use the PC for anything, just the SDCard flashing method. :/
**BUMP**
I haven't found a solution still.
no, you cant use any other means to run hspl.
as to why custom roms flash from card and stock dont, you must be doing something wrong. please outline your proceedure.

I downloaded the stock Vodafone ROM from the link in mskip's flashing thread.
Rename the .exe to .zip
Extract the zip
Rename the RUU_Signed.nbh to LEOIMG.nbh and copy it to an SDCard.
insert card into handset and reboot holding the volume down button.
Same procedure I use for flashing custom ROM's.
hmm, very strange, all i can suggest is trying several different stock roms. dont forget to check what your bootloader says for spl, because even a failed stock flash can remove hspl and reset stock spl.

I downloaded the ROM directly from HTC support site but same thing occurs when I try to flash it. HSPL is definitely still on there too.
I find it weird that I can flash any custom ROM except the Energy ROMs, I'm assuming that perhaps these have more in common with stock ROM's than the others.
I'm lost atm!
a long shot, but are you extracting the ruu_signed before copying it to the sd card, or are you drag/dropping it directly to the phone from within winrar/winzip? I've heard of that causing problems with corruption before, though I can't remember the files involved or the context.
try different stock roms, you said its voda, but was it locked voda?
appart from that, thoughts would be, make sure the sd is freshly formatted, full format, not quick format, fat32, get the roms from different sources, maybe even use different browsers to download them, maybe even try the wwe 3.14 rom, even if it flashes the spl and then wont load the rom, you can always plead ignorance with them, it's a stock spl after all. (Course, they may just tell you to do one, so only try that if you are prepared to argue)

I've tried it both of those ways, on my Macbook Pro and on another Linux box and from Win2K in a VM.

It's a contract vodafone that came unlocked when it arrived, had it nearly a year now.

I've tried two different downloads of the ROM (htc.com and the one in mskips thread) and two different sdcards, the 2GB that came with it and a Class 4 Kingston. I'll try formatting both cards using the sdcard.org formatter in Win2K and see if that makes a difference.
My desktop charger has now decided to die on me so I can't try anything until my new one arrives from Hong Kong in a week or so. :/
