Well first i dont really know how to save the original ROM but don't worry. The most of the original ROMs are available at the blackstoneWIKI so you can check if your version is listed before flashing.
When it comes to the flashing itself it's really easy. First of all download USPL from this site. Then you download the ROM you want to flash with. If the ROM is named nbhsigned.nbh you will want to change this to BLACIMG.nbh and if it's already named BLACIMG.nbh just leave it like that. Then you copy BLACIMG.nbh to the root of your storage card (the main folder). Then you go to activesync->connection settings->disable USB connections.
Now turn the phone off and remove your storage card. Enter bootloader mode by pressing PowerON and volDOWN simultaneously. When your in bootloader mode wait for the text "serial" at the bottom to change to USB. When it says USB you insert your storage card. After that you run blac_uspl in the USPL folder you downloaded. The phone will now restart and come back in USPL bootloader mode. USPL will update and recognize BLACIMG.nbh in your storage card and it will ask if you want to update. Press yes and your good to go.
You should backup all your important files before flashing and remember this way of flashing isn't 100% secure and I can't assure you that you're phone won't break, but following these steps closely really should narrow down the risks with flashing by alot.
Hope this helped you!

Thank you! This helped me too Can i do it with Windows 7?

Thanks friend, I tried it but I'm having a little difficulties When I use the tool I et an error message about USB - it can't find the phone.
Any ideas?
I did as you wrote and it worked till I used the EXE tool. There nothing happenes. I downloaded the latest version, but I0m using Vista. Acording to post where I downloaded it it should work on Vista.
Thanks for everything
Dave

First dump your rom using the method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
After that's done flash HardSPL described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
A littlebit of reading wouldn't hurd you I think.
Also in Dutty's thread the procedure is well described how to flash so why open a new thread?

I read the wiki so please step by step
I have the same truble, when i start flashing, the phone wil go off and won't go into bootloder mode(i did all that was in first post in theme "Htc Breeze Test Sspl"). I try to use HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a but the same truble(i have the last HTC ROM; ipl 1.00; spl 1.10). sdamion, can you upload your Custom ROM somewhere i want to test it?

I first want to test it my self i only have the dutch mui files and removed al MSN live stuf en the streaming media. But before i can upload it i want to test it myself.
go to this treat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306165. I get the spl by des so i will try flashing my custom rom
Format a fresh microSD card, copy on the rom you want to test (best just ROM only!) and rename to breeimg.nbh, start the SSPL variant posted in this forum and then quickly enter bootloader (power/camera).
Works a treat, as stated in post 5 of the thread you quoted. I've flashed umpteen Cavalier Rom variants this way, all followed by the inevitable re-flash back to 1.34

It works now i am runing a rom without streaming media and Clear vue word powerpoint pdf reader. But i cant edit the register. I can't convert my default.reg and user.reg to a .hv file. So the files are deleted but the registry entries are still there. So im playing around
Finally got the time to have a fiddle around and found an alternative, but probably slower, approach to the SDcard route.
Basically instead of the standard RomUpdateUtility.exe that comes with the 1.34 package I used the modified Hermes flasher RUUwrapper and chose the force SSPL option.
Once the Breeze is in SSPL (execute SPL shortcut file + press power/camera IMMEDIANTLY) it is possible to run the RUUWrapper on my laptop and it will flash whatever signed/unsigned nbh file that is local to it.

P3600i Flashing Tutorial

OK first of all I've put this together hastily so forgive me for slight errors, but most of this should be fine.
To flash your P3600i, there are 3 things that should concern you: HardSPL, the Radio, and the ROM.
HardSPL: something that allows you to run unsigned code on your phone (e.g. ROMs), and also provides protection in case it screws up. This is the first thing you do. (This is probably a **** explanation, but functional at least?)
Radio: I guess more like a mini feature set, I know there was something similar when I had a Motorola phone which was called a flex. In this case it's not a whole new operating system, but perhaps easily thought of as small tweaks made to improve the system without necessitating a whole ROM flash. Why have a radio when a ROM could take care of everything? Well the advantage of a radio is that you can flash these without resetting everything. Everything (contacts, etc.) remain intact.
ROM: What you're really after, WM6.1 and the lovely cooked ROMs that should soon be available for flashing. This will wipe everything on your phone, so back your stuff up (contacts, settings, owner info, messages, etc.).
Flashing procedure:
IF YOU HAVE VISTA: You need to update your drivers. Go here for instructions. You can then proceed with the procedure as per normal.
The basic procedure is this. Flash HardSPL first, then update your Radio, then finally, your ROM.
Note: The HardSPL you use is a modified one especially for the P3600i. Get it here.
Note2: Here is a mirror for the latest Radio for the P3600i. From following the guides, you will know when to use it. Get it here. (N.B. Radio link updated to v1.56.70.11 - 2 Aug 2008)
Go to the trinityguides.info guide (link here) and go through the procedure - and yes, I know the link points to page 2 of the guide.
NOTE WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260) LOLOL. THIS IS EXPECTED.
This is what happens.
You go to flash HardSPL like the guide says. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.
It looks like it's about to flash and then errors. BUT your phone is on the 3-colour bootloader screen! How odd. Well KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN, and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL (obviously connect your phone and stuff back to your PC).
The point here is this: the first time it will fail, but at least manage to get the bootloader up. With this bootloader up, exit the flashing program, restart it, and then you should be able to run the flashing program and have it complete.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PHONE HAS THE OLIPRO HARDSPL INSTALLED after completion, by soft-resetting (hold the power and camera buttons at the same time AND use the stylus to press the putton at the bottom of the phone. You might not get it the first time, but with practice you'll get the hang of it).
Once you can see 3.20 Olipro (yes, 3.20) on the bootloader screen, you know you have HardSPL on fine, and can proceed to the trinityguides.info instructions on flashing your radio and ROM. ROMs can be found in the P3600i ROM Collection thread, here.
Hopefully this should answer a lot of questions people have
Hihi,
Because I am using Vista PC, can I use PC to flash the hardspl and use SD card to flash OS and radio??
Thank you

Simple answer is no. You should be able to flash Hard SPL from Vista if you follow the Trinitty guides to change the USB drivers to the XP ones.....PLEASE read the TRINITY GUIDES as stated above.
about the vista problem ... take a look: http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=66
should i download the hard spl from here?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398742
and what radio should i put? be specific...
Thanks
whatever radio you feel like, jesus, the level of stupidity just gets worse.
of course, if you're totally ****ing incapable of independent thought, we can spoonfeed you some arbitrary radio version.
Thanks for your attitude! I just want to do somethink that work... And my question is not for the fun! I saw in the guide that in the link (to trinityguide) and in the first page its didnt writen that is compatible with p3600i. So i ask before i make damage to my device.
I am working in computer companies for 5 years but its my first time flashing ppc so i want to be sure what to do before that I will make any damage.
And belive me that anyone that will gets some help in the first flash will help in the future to the forum.

OK...you do not have to flash ANY radio if you don't want to.
The Tinity Guide was written well before this device was cracked so it is not up to day with regard to the P3600i.
If you follow the instructions at the top of the page you should be fine.
Chose whatever radio you want to use....then pick one of the ROM's that are known to work and away you go.
I just flashed the MARY 3.7 SL and before I started loading up my customisations my Program memory was 34 meg. Even now after laoding everything I have 22.62 Meg Program memory and 178.88 Sorage memory (and everything is loaded on the device too).
So far all is good on this one.
PS Don't take Olipro's comments to heart....if you read his tag...he abuses everyone....lol

Use the Hard SPL from the link...that is THE only one that works.
Radio 1.46.30 was the standard Radio and I now have 1.50.08.11
Check out the radios etc here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1951469&postcount=3

great to hear. the rom seems to be fairly stable, and its nice and quick. which for me personally is what i want in a phone
one thing i should mention to people as well running vista to do this is that for every part of flashing the phone, vista may attempt and succeed in "installing device drivers" which in turn means you need to point it to the vista-compatible drivers for it to work (as per the guide) every time to progress to the next part, otherwise a 260 keeps occuring.
Thank you for your wonderful and useful guide!
Thank you!
200% hype abt flashing! Finally!
Hey folks I need a little help
I've downloaded:
- Mary 3.7 Lite, Mary 3.7.1 and PDAVIET 37
- Olipro 130, Olipro 120 and Des Crash Proof
I've tried hard to mix all possibilities like Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7, Olipro 130 and Mary 3.7.1 and etc
After several tries i was kinda desperate since none worked then after testing Mary 3.7.1 and Des Crash Proof, TADA! Worked!
Well, the point here is understanding why I couldnt make the other ROMs work.
Could you please help me understading why?
Also I have another question, when a ROM was bad installed, in these cases above the 0% stats were freeze in the PDA while I had a bad connection problem showing in computer ( error 246 i think ) so the PDA was stuck in the bootloader mode =( And I just could enter my old WM6 by upgrading the radio. Is there another way to do it? I was pretty disappointed upgrading the Radio so many times. LOL

If you have a P3600i then according to the info you have above....you downloaded the WRONG Hard SPL.
Go back to the very first post on this thread and read it carefully. There is a link there to the correct Hard SPL from Olipro...and it isn't 130, 120 or Des Crash Proof.
genipao, it was rather surprise you had picked the wrong hard spl and doing some mix and match and it still work?
All experts,
please render help to me for my CHT9110 (P3600i - IPL-Trin100, SPL-3.03.0000, CPU-Samsung 500Mhz, NAND-256MB) that I flashed successfully with hardSPL 3.10 Oplira. this is working and wonderful SPL with the JumpSPL included. Good job done by Oplira!
However when I tried to upgrade P3600i from WM6.0 to WM6.1, I missed the step to tag 401 from 400 when I re-build New_NBH.file for my phone. At a result, I encounterd WM6.1 ROM flashing incomplete at 80% and forced to reset due to hang-up...
Now, my P3600i still can boot up to flash-screen logo, loading radio image (1.56.70.11) and then protocal services (32.89.7020.20H), then it will hand-up forever on flash screen logo.... (until i did the hard reset, then it will re-boot! terrible now!!)
i suspected it was unable to locate the WM6.1 and loading up accordingly....
I tried out many option, to downgrade SPL 1.1, SPL1.2, SPL 2.1 and used SPLxploit to clear the stack in bootloader... all is falied and my bootloader still shown SPL-3.03.0000 and don't allow to re-flash any ROM under bootloader mode now!!
Experts! please assist me,
How can I roll-back the default OS on phone if any? or there is alternative way to recover OS to flash in for recovery? I think firstly we need to crack SPL-3.03.000 in bootloader mode...
Many thanks!
Hi klemtest,
can you guide me on flashing CHT9110?
I couldnt seems to get it flash even after following the instruction.
Appreciate your help
i just followed Ajajaj Quoted, please allow me to share...
Step 1 - Anyway First of all, load the Hard SPL to your phone from : Set
<Klemtest>
Step 1.1 - go and download Hard-SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip (810.6 KB, 438 views)
Step 1.2 - extract SPL-p3600i-V1.1.zip file onto your local drive
Step 1.3 - connect P3600i via USB, ensure you are under ACTIVESYNC mode in WindowXP (if you use Windows Vista, the you need Vista driver for detecting HTC phone at USB)
Step 1.4 - execute the ROMupdateutility from SPL-p3600i-v1.1 folder, ensure there is RUU_signed.nbh file available, otherwise the utility will prompt u for read file error.
Step 1.5 - once it executed, follows the instruction given from ROMupdateutility screen, until you see the progress bar show up, meanwhile u will notice that p3600i phone will prompt you for ROM upgrading message, click "Yes" to accept and proceed. Sequence pop-up message will be asked again in p3600i for using JumpSPL.exe to unlock CID,
Again click "Yes" to accept and proceed. ROMUpdateutility will complete 100% and your p3600i display will be turned to SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader mode now (if the ROMupdateUtility indicated there is update error, just ignore it and exit utility screen)
don't switch off your p3600i, let it continue showing SPL-3.10 Oplira in bootloader display.
Dude! you're now ready for step2 to flashing your favor WM6.0 / WM6.1 once you manage the "nbh" file which I didn't done it properly!!
So, I assumed you have downloaded the working ROM and extract them in local folder as stated in Step-2
Step 2 - So, what I did was to download RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite extract into its own folder (Mary seems to work as well)
Due to p3600i is manufactured with 256 NAND, memory address for storing "OS.nb" slightly difference compared to p3600 (CHT9100) with 128 MB RAM.
Hence, ajajaj advice to use ROMBaker.exe to exract "XX_OS.nb" your favor OS ROM (usually named as RUU_signed.nbh) that you downloaded and re-build it using NBHGEN.exe.
All this stuff is available here Custom RUU tools
In this case, 2 screens captured below showing u how to distingish it
(for wrong re-build of OS.nb at 400)
C:> NBHGEN.exe new_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
400,06_OS.nb
(for correct re-build of OS.nb at 401)
C:> NBHGEN.exe correct_nbh.txt
TRIN100
SuperCID
Klemtest
XDADevelopers
100,00_IPL.nb
600,02_MainSplash.nb
601,03_SubSplash.nb
900,04_ExtROM.nb
300,05_GSM.nb
401,06_OS.nb
you can follow the step below until step9 if you're not familar of using custom RUU tools:
Step 3 - then download the custom ruu updated from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295113 - also get the rombaker for trinity as found further down in the post.
Step 4 - unzip the custom_ruu stuff, put in the downloaded trinity rombaker to replace extracted rombaker,
Step 4a - Copy ruu_signed.nbh file that is found in folder created in Step 2 to the rombaker/workshop folder created in step 4
Step 5 - then use nbhextract (created in step 4) to extract the ruu_signed.nbh file that is now in the workshop folder
Step 6 - watch the output. (for file names)
Step 7 - Run the rombaker program and load the extracted files into their places (as referred to in step 6), then click generate NBH
It will ask you to save a file. call it new_nbh (or whatever you want) -
Step 8 - open this file (created in step 7) in notepad, and change the number 400 (about 5 lines down) to 401 save and exit
Step 9 - then open a dos/cmd/command.com window (whatever you want to call it), cd to the rombaker/workshop folder and then run the following:
nbhgen new_nbh.txt
NOTE: new_nbh.txt should be the same as the filename created in step 7
copy the generated RUU_signed.nbh file back to the RUU_TRINITY_WM6.1_WWE_ASIA_3.12.YK.Lite folder.
Your p3600i rom is now ready for flashing
<Klemtest>
Step-10 - after you have managed to get re-build RUU_Signed.nbh file by yourself. you can proceed last stage for completion.
As I mentioned, you continue keep your bootloader screen at SPL-3.10 Oplira just now. launch again RUUupdateutility.exe
Note: At this point, your personal data from the phone will be destroy, please make sure you back-up all data before regret and ensure ActiveSync is disable during execution the flashing.
Screen1 - On the Welcome Screen, click Next to begin the ROM update installation.
Screen2 - On the next screen, follow the listed instructions in the dialog box first. When you are done, click Next to proceed.
Note: Ignore the instructions listed due to you are flashing via bootloader mode, and ActiveSync is disable.
Screen3 - The following message will then be displayed, indicating that the utility is verifying and acquiring information about the device as preparation for the update process. Wait for this verification process to finish.
Screen4 - Below the device information, information about the new ROM update will then be displayed. If you are certain that you want to install the phone with the new ROM update, click Next to proceed.
Screen5 - confirmation message then appears and shows the length of time it will take to copy the necessary files (including radio image) to the device. Click Next to begin the update.
Screen6 - A progress bar will run through the screen during the update process.
Note: In the middle of the update process, the progress bar may stop running. This is normal as the RUU is adjusting itself to complete the update process automatically. (probably will take up 10 minutes)
6. When you see the screen shown CONGRATULATION message! means update is complete. Click Finish to exit the utility. Otherwise, you will have trouble now to troubleshoot per below steps!
GOOD LUCK and happy computing!
Troubleshooting and Error Recovery

Upgrade Rom Problem!

Hi all!
This if the 1st time I write here!
I have a Blackstone with spl 1.14
I tried to update my rom to
Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1 [ONLINE]
and
[PDAVIET][WWE] BLACKSTONE WM6.5 ROM V59
but i have the same problem!
The wizard starts ok it automatically takes me to boot loader mode then i get the message with the bar 0-100% ready to load but is stuck to 0% for 3 minutes and then the procedure stops!
What can i do?
I tried hspl before but windows dont opent it!!
Any help ?????
thx panos
the phone is not un lockt for flashing
hspl 1,56 or someting like that you need
You NEED to read the sticky's on the front page for using either Hard-SPL or USPL to upgrade your ROM....
NEED being the most important word there, all the info you require is in those threads.
NEED TO FLASH OLINEX 1.56 BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY TO FLASH A ROM!!
r8zer i have read all of the above but uspl black doesnt work on my windows!
where i find to download this file?
thx!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Skia, use this thread and read is carefully. All the information that you require including the files are in there.
Everyone one has their own preferred method to flash, choose yours and read, re-read, maybe once more to be sure and then have a go - everyone is new at some point and has reservations, but please read the threads that other kind soles have taken the time to write in order to guide people
r8zer i have found it but it opens the same application that opens with miri!
Should i run this 1st (to unlock) and then run miri?
Am i right?
thx again!
instal windows device center youl sea it will work
or active sinc !?!?
r8zer i have found it but it opens the same application that opens with miri!
Should i run this 1st (to unlock) and then run miri?
miri includes BlackstoneRUUWrapper in the rom!
Isnt it the same thing?
They both start with the same page
thx again!
Right You need to be in windows, hook your phone up and let it connect to activesync, once connected run Olinex 1.56, thats what unlocks your spl, of your phone, then take the rom of your choice, and extract the .Nbh file from the exe, by opening it up with winrar, RUU_sighned.nbh, and put that on your desktop.
now get a 2 gig micro sd and format it, then change the name of the nbh file to
BLACIMG.nbh and transfer that to sd card.
Reboot phone into bootloader, by holding down volume and press power button, should have tricolour screen, plug back into computer and wait for it to say USB at the bottom, then push SD card in and should come up with a menu saying push power button to start flash.
As i see it cannt be done automatically (without the sd)
So i ll try tomorrow and i hope it works ok!
Thx for the advice
it can be done from windows but this way is much safer, and you will not have to worry about knocking the usb cable, its all done from sd, but it up to you how you go about flashing either sd card way or through windows. i will always choose SD.
Follow this guide and post further queries in that thread. No need for another thread on flashing.

HTC Touch HD T8285-WM6.5

I have been trying different roms to try to upgrade my phone to WM6.5 and so far the roms I've tried won't even load onto my phone. The download status bar will come up but it goes nowhere then it says update error. The phone will turn back on and work with the stock WM6.1
I'm just looking for a very clean OEM style WM6.5 ROM. Any recommendations?

Have you read the Dummies Guide? If not, you should do this. Just try some roms to see what fits better to your needs.
Assuming you hardspl or setup for USPL prior to flashing any ROM's. I have the 8285 and run the following ROM's: NRG LEO, PDAVIET LEO, and MIRI's LEO based ROM's. I personally keep going back to NRG as I have followed him from other devices and like his work. All the cooks are great. I also flash from SD card vs. using Activesync, find it faster and more reliable.
NRG is clean and mostly bug free ? yea from what you're saying maybe I did do something wrong. I'm not too advanced on this, I downloaded the energy rom and tried to update it. I've done nothing previous

well then that's why you're having problems for sure. as others have mentioned follow the Dummies Flashing Guide. if you're using HardSPL, make sure the top (RED) section of your bootloader looks like this Pic of Bootloader with HardSPL. when it looks like this, you're ready to flash a ROM!!
OK I found the 156OliNex.zip file. I put the phone into bootloader mode, when I tried to launch the file it would not execute. It flashes up on the screen for a second and that's it. I made sure that the windows firewall is turned off
Best, the least error, safest flashing tool USPL
i highly recommend you use USPL : I still yet have to see someone who had a problem after using USPL. This is even endorsed by Dutty Throy (you can see that he even states that this is the SAFEST METHOD) - Moderator ROM Cooker par excellence!
look here

format your sd card using fat32 (full format) (if you are a frequent flasher I suggest you get a small capacity sd card – 1Gb - and devote this only for flashing)
rename the RUU_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and pair this with ROMUpdateUtility -(application file). copy this two files in you formatted sd card.
then using Digital Outcast's USPL GUI: look here

if you're using Vista see this to update your sync driver

flash the ROM.
please let me know once you've done this succesfully, i wish you the best of luck!

I have been trying different roms to try to upgrade my phone to WM6.5 and so far the roms I've tried won't even load onto my phone. The download status bar will come up but it goes nowhere then it says update error. The phone will turn back on and work with the stock WM6.1
I'm just looking for a very clean OEM style WM6.5 ROM. Any recommendations?

You need to start posting in the Dummies Flashing Guide as posted above as this thread will be closed as soon as a mod comes across it. You'll find all your answers and help there

do you have .Net installed on your PC? if not, you need to install first. if you have .Net installed, retrace your steps to make sure you've got everything setup properly, e.g., installing the driver supplied in the thread. also, if you have problems please post your questions in the Dummies thread...the moderators will close threads like this one because "all" the info you need to flash can be accessed from the Dummies thread.
yes I have NET installed on my computer. I tried using the files in the dummies guide and had issues
OK. so I finally got the NRG energy rom installed and it shows up distorted on the screen.

if you're using a WM 6.5 ROM then you do not have the right SPL installed.... look at Post #5 and make sure your bootloader looks like the one in my picture; if it doesn't then you haven't installed SPL 1.56 Olinex. again, please post your questions in the Dummies thread, you'll get appropriate help there... thanks!
I want to thank everyone for their input. I finally got a rom installed and working properly
I just wanted to thank everyone for their ideas and input. I finally got a rom installed and working on my phone
glad to know you were successful! we've all been there before and i know it can be frustrating. patience, diligence and patience (lol) will get you there!

is it 1.14.olinex or 1.14.00000
sorry, 1.14 Olinex
If i'm correct you should be able to flash the hspl by using the SD Card method.
I've have not tested this but they way i'd go would be as follows:
-download HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from this forum
-run the exe in a seperate folder, it will extract it's content to run.
-look inside the folder and see the extracted files, keep the app open for now.
-copy RUU_Signed.nbh from the folder and place in another folder.
-close the app, the extracted files should be removed by it then.
-go to the new folder where you copied RUU_Signed.nbh and rename it to BLACIMG.nbh
-copy BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's SD Card
-enter the bootloader on your phone and it should launch the option the flash as it detects the BLACIMG.nbh
-finish flashing as usual and say some prayers while you reboot your phone
All theoretical here so i'd highly advise to read up in the dummy's thread about hspl/uspl when unsure or unfamiliar with it.

righ, getting somewhere!!! did this method and it worked, now when i go into bootlaoder it says my SPL is 1.56 but it also always says 'Upgrade ROM Code Error Please Try Again' on the bootloader in the middle of the screen?
Not sure what that could be as im no spl expert but might be that the app that does it via usb actually crashes the bootloader to be able to load non htc spl. Since you cant run the app you can flash but generate the error cause it doesnt accept the non htc spl.
There is however also the following mentioned in the dummy's thread:
# Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
# You are done!

Dont know if you did that already but if not give it go, keep in mind the bold part tho before you loose data.
ill have a look if i can find something, tho can never hurt to look for yourself ofcourse, let us know if you make some progression.
Perhaps this will help, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
Anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe from SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip attachment to the device and run it. then once the screen is sayingn 1.07.OliNex, run RUU manually. i.e. you launch the Hard-SPL RUU (HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe) on the PC and flash.
*important*: make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual SSPL method.

dunno if that last note is an option due to the broken port, but sounds like a good option if you ignore the on pc part. Else perhaps going back to a stock spl would be an option.

if it says 1.56.olinex then choose the rom u want to flash
then rename the .nbh file dnloaded from the rom cooker to BLACIMG.NBH
place this file in the root of ur sd card.
now insert the sd card nd go to the bootloader.
follow onscreen instructions...
OK, after using the method suggested in post 3 i have managed to get OlinexHSPL 1.56 on it. I then installed Mary One v0.03 using SD card method. It all went AMAZING!!! Thanks doods!! I got my baby back!! Dont need to risk returning it to HTC Repairs now with dodgy spl and rom!!! YAY!!!
