Flash Only Gets to 1%

Hello xda
I've been following the flashing guide for my p3600i, but have hit a snag.
After flashing HardSPL 3.20 and the current radio ROM, I can't flash any cooked ROM's. Attempting to flash any ROM results in error code 270 after 1% and reboots the phone. I still have access to the original OS after it boots back up. I'm attempting this on Vista using the XP drivers for HTC USB Sync.
Any ideas?
Edit: I've read that I need to modify HTC p3600 based ROM's to work on the p3600i, but this information isn't listed in the stickied guide. Is this still accurate, and if it is, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

The guides are up-to-date and have worked for many people.
Have you tried to boot to the tri-colour screen by holding down the power button, camera button and pressing in the bottom soft reset button all at the same time?
Do that and confirm you have Olipro's HardSPL installed properly.
EDIT: I think I know what your problem might be. When you flash a ROM, IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS ON THE PROGRAM YOU RUN.
Do this, AND ONLY THIS don't do anything else.
Enter the tri-colour flash screen manually on your phone (holding down the 3 buttons). when you get this screen, connect the phone to your computer. Confirm you see the phone display Olipro's HardSPL 3.20 as installed, and at the bottom once connected to the PC, USB as the connection.
From there, run the upgrade program to flash the ROM. Ignore the instructions on the screen and keep clicking continue.
That might be why youre having the problem - you need to ALREADY be in the tri-colour bootscreen before running the flashing program.
Good luck!

Ok, I definately need to patch p3600 ROM's to work on my p3600i. I've patched Mary's 3.7 Lite and that seems to have installed and booted, so I'm away.
Edit: I can confirm I was following the guide precisely, but it's a guide for Trinity P3600, not for P3600i. It doesn't mention the required patching (it really should). I can also confirm I have the correct HardSPL installed and it seems to working now. Someone needs to add a note for P3600i users to that sticky.

You don't need to patch anything.
There is a sticky in the upgrading section for P3600i ROMs that have been tested and are working. Use those and you won't have any issues (Y)
I just had a look and at the end the ROM Collection thread is mentioned. You obviously didn't read to the end.

I have EXACTLY the same problem as you.
Also I extracted the official ROM into a folder, then extract the cooked ROM 6.1 and get the .nbf (ROM only) file into the official extract folder and tried to flash. At this point the error says: error: NAND 128 is on this rom where the target (which is p3600i) is NAND 256.
so the structure of NAND is different that's why got error.
I saw the correction is to change 400 to 401 in the name of the os file and bake again. This may help but I don't know how to do it yet...

Um retard did you read what I wrote? You DON'T need to patch anything. Follow the flashing instructions, and IF you read them to the end you'll see it point to the ROM Collection link for the P3600i. For the ROMs linked to in this thread there is no flashing required - they're already done.

Don't call him a retard. I certainly read to the end and but Mediafire was down last night and I had to get the Mary 3.7 Lite ROM from the original Mary's 3.7 thread. This is why I had to patch them manually. The thread doesn't mention that the linked to ROM's are different then those in the original thread about each ROM, hence this is where I went wrong. If I had know the mediafire linked ROM's were different then the ones in each individual thread, I would have waited until mediafire was back up.

Help! Problems flashing X1

Hey everyone. I'm tearing my hair out trying to get this sorted but I just don't know what to do!
So, when I got my X1 as everyone on here should do, was flash my X1 with the HardSPL and some custom roms, this was a few months back. Then, shock! Horror! My case went and broke, (cracked near the volume button build W44) so I sent it back to SE for repair. I sent it back reset back to defaults but left the hardspl on there.
SE sent me a brand new phone (I think... This one says under the battery build w50, but the battery says w32..) I received it today. I thought it would be my old one repaired but SE had other ideas. Booted up and have Image Version: 1.03.931.10 and HardSPL 72.000 I think I said that correctly...
Now since sending it for repair and receiving it back, their seems to be quite a few wm6.5 roms floating about, and obviously I can't use the stock software as that wouldn't be right!
Now I have tried flashing the hardspl to the phone through my Vista PC and all it keeps giving me is connection errors. I thought maybe it was already flashed so I tried flashing just a rom, and that just made the phone get stuck on loading (flash by memory card). I thought it might be Vista, so I tried doing it on my other PC (XP) and I get the same issue. This bloody thing won't flash!
I have had "Connection Problems" - "Update Errors" with different numbers. The current one being Error [260] CONNECTION.
Now I have been searching around through the hardspl thread and other places trying to find out what I need to do or how I can fix it, but everything I try doesn't make a difference. I did read some other people with recently repaired phones having the same problem and perhaps SE have put a new spl thingy-ma-jiggy on there. (Please forgive the technical jargon, I have no idea what im on about.) I have also tried the ticking/unticking advanced network functionality, but that hasn't made a difference either.
So by the end of typing this, I have little hair left. Let's hope you can all help, before I have none left!
I would appreciate ANY help! Really.
Just wanted to add, I was at first getting the phone to a loading bar when flashing, but it would stay at 0% then flag up an error on the PC. Now after the tri-colour bars, the phone just sticks on Loading...

Well just to update. I have been trying to sort this since posting. I flashed the rom to an old UK generic one, as I read in another topic people had to do that before HardSPL. Done that, and tried flashing the hardspl. Same thing, just getting connection errors.
I tried going into bootloader and running the hardspl from there. It works and the phone gets to 10% and then gives an UPDATE ERROR. The phone is now bricked, and I have to reflash the original wm rom to get it back.
Though the Tricolour screen now shows 0.52.Olinex
Any ideas?

Shameless bump for help.

very stupid situation.
i have the same situation in puncto of flashing.
i get my phone three month ago.
after hardspl i .... sorry, no hardspl ... the phone says at 0% bla bla bla
i solve the problem by consulting one night absolutly stressing again and again and again .... google ... xda ... google
than 3 thinks at one time was the solution:
0. need activesync - connect !!!!
1. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe for desktop pc
2. enterbootloader.exe for pocketpc (please, the right version, it exist for eten too, but we need the xpediaversion ..)
3. changing registry-entries
how to:
activesync-connect, than copy "enterbootloader.exe" to pocketpc. it must be root, not sd-card. use a pocketpc-registry-program to change these values :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies\0000101b = 1
if not exist than add the key.
now, start desktop-program, follow instruction EXCEPT reboot.
start "enterbootloader.exe" on pocketpc. now, you can install hardspl and the device is flashable for ever.
thats works on me, hope it could help you too.

Thanks for the reply. Not had time to try it till this morning. Ok so, after spending about an hour trying to find the correct enterbootloader.exe I finally realized, that the hardspl package includes it. *Duh!* So that was time wasted.
I changes the registry values as you said with Resco registry editor, and follower the unlock then enterbootloader.exe Start HardSPL package. Starts to install. Gets to 10% then I get
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
The rom update utility has encountered communication errors during the update process.
So im open to suggestions if anyone has any. I just can't understand why it's not working. It's not a problem with my computer or cables. I flashed the phone before I sent it for repair and I have tried doing it on two computers one with XP 32bit and one with Vista 64bit.

hmm. would u like to install a custom rom, or a stock rom?
msg me, and i hope, i can halp u.

I want to have the hardspl on there so I can flash custom roms.

If it's a case of the software/firmware/hardspl whatever you call it, has been updated by SE. How would one go about getting it flashed? Would we have to wait for an update HardSPL to be released?

U read this thread?
My first hardspl was from this thread. New X1 will come tomorrow back from SE (vibration was defect +++ some more problems with case), and i will try it again with this thread.
hope, this will help u mate.

Yeah, I have been through that thread with a fine toothcombe trying everything suggested to see if I can make it work.
When you get yours back, if you have to do anything out of the ordinary to get it to flash or can't do it. Please come and let me know in this thread. If they have updated yours like mine, and yours won't flash, at least I won't be the only one!

k, i will msg u tomorrow around 2pm.

Cheers.
In the meantime. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?

Bump, for some help.

now i know, what is exatcly your problem.... <--- SAME Problem
i hope, i will find a solution and msg u then. if u´ll got a solution for this prob, msg me too plz.

Solution found in this Thread!
Download this and unzip it to your device. ++ run it. It will start your X1 in Bootloader menu and say "0.52.OliNex".
Then start hardspl while X1 is in Bootloadermenu....
FINISH =)

Thanks for the reply matey. Glad you got yours sorted. Just tried what you said and I get 0% then it switches to ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR.

hmmm... it works fine on my new x1. are u sure, that u start the ssplmanual on your x1 and not on your computer?

Yea, im not sure what the problem was with it. Thankfully I have it done and dusted today! Because I flashed it earlier to an older official version, and you said you got it working. I presumed you had - had yours flashed to the newest version due to it being off for repair. So I reflashed the official update and fully updated it. Then tried hardspl which didn't work. Tried with the advanced USB thing off, tried again with how you said you did it above, and Viola!
Hip hip hoorah! Thanks for the help. Can finally use me bleedin phone now!

no problem mate hf with your x1

hello,
i see smilies and yea's ...
for me to understanding (for next time or other users):
1. complete official update (if exists)
2. flashing (hardspl) without "advanced usb"
thats all?
cool.

Problem flashing rom

Hi,
Although this is my first post, I have been lurking for many years.
I have successfully flashed a Kaiser and a Diamond in the past so I feel reasonably confident.
However, I am having real problems with my blackstone. I have followed the instructions until point 5, when I enter bootloader it is showing 1.14000 etc - I then try to follow the rest of the instructions. It will go into the rom updater utility, the screen will go grey and show 0% but then nothing happens and I eventually have to go into recovery.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Caroline

Sounds like you haven't installed either HSPL or USPL before trying to flash rom.
I'd recommend going down the HSPL route. (Latest HSPL can be found in my signature). Once downloaded flash to phone then you are ready to flash to cooked roms

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I just tried that and have the same problem.
What have I done wrong??

Go into bootloader. If it says 1.14.0000 you are ready to go to step (5c). When you connect usb cable to pc does the text at bottom change from 'serial' to 'USB'?
Possible problems could be:
1. You haven't disabled anti-virus
2. Drivers on you pc need updated. Download step (1g) and go to (0).
If USPL is successful it should state SPL v 1.15.USPL in bootloader. If HSPL is successful it should state SPL v 1.15 OliNex

Hi,
Well after much swearing at both computer and phone, I managed to get the drivers updated. Many thanks Spartan, it seems that this was the problem as I am flashing Dutty's ROM right now.
Thanks for your help.

I hate to say this but..... HELP!!!

I've been lurking with the XDA forum for quite sometime now and its my very first posting and I'm having difficulties finding answers on search box I just simply give up looking for appropriate answer to my question. Since I like to use the good old Winmo 6.1 rom (Davideuck_V-7_MSVC to be exact)my bad is I forgot to SPL to earlier version 1.15 so got a green kinda thing on my screen, so I apply Restore_Stock_SPL_115 and everything went fine. (I know I'm stupid ) Unfortunately after I update the Time and Date it suddenly appear " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah,.... guess what? its a time bomb can't do anything on screen but to reset. So I decide to re-flash it again but I got stuck at 0% on bootloader mode and got Error 262, I tried to understand whats the meaning of it and I did, but never got any solution how? I tried to flash it with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to restore Winmo 6.5 but I got stuck again on 0%. something unusual I tried to reflash more roms and it didn't work. All the Roms I've wont reach 1% Even flashing on SD card trick wont load. And my spl ver 1.15 can't flash anything. So I that's why I need your help desperately...

Near enough the exact same situation as me! I think that 1.15 file may have issues.

If you are getting an Error 262, you need to run manual sspl in order to resolve this. Read this post for the steps (post #2) and sspl tool (post #1) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377. You can also get all of the steps needed to successfully flash. if you have questions, please post them in that thread.

It seems when I restart my phone normally, I noticed that the message about " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah" the manila interface was behind it when I press the task manager and the volume buttons it responses means its not bricked (hope so) maybe the reason why I cant flash anything? Or whatever...Well that's my observation..... Please guys I needed my phone badly tomorrow

Did you not read my post . You can flash another rom, error 262 is common. You just need to use sspl before flashing to hspl 1.56.

if ur stuck with hspl and cant flash that than try uspl or try stock rom.... they get installed without hspl or uspl installed.... its available in the blackstone wiki section

and with stock rom get through tomorrow . than try hspl or uspl with custom rom later on when u have free time

Upgrade the ROM with latest official HTC release it upgrades the bootloader to ver 1.54 as well. Then you can install the newest version of HSPL or just use USPL to flash whatever cooked ROM you want.

Apologies on replying again here instead of posting on the designated thread , but forgive my innocence the thread says "" launch SSPL-Manual.exe from attachment, run it, wait until 1.07.OliNex tricolour screen says "USB" on it, then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on the PC. "" how exactly that's going to be done? Currently I got the tri-color screen saying SPL-1.15.0000 and a USB on the bottom and when I flash either hspl or uspl I always end up on gray screen with a 0% that doesn't move at all, how can I manually apply SSPL? I cant access Manila interface because of time bomb message? My life's getting complicated!

If possible try flashing from an XP box, Vista/7 might give you some additional trouble if you don't use the right drivers. But if you get to the 0% screen, the issue shouldn't be with the SPL... so don't worry, I doubt the phone is bricked
So: try XP and/or using the drivers provided in the Flashing-thread

Did you downloaded the ROM from the HTC site? If the ROM is from the official site try again using USPL.

I seach the wiki page and found the latest version which is "Blackstone_WWE_1.56.405.1" and I can't find it on the official site, it should be "WWE" not specifying on certain countries, so I manage to download it from Rapidshare link. and for the SSPL I don't think I can do that coz I can't access my phone coz it has tim bomb probably the main culprit here.

Any flashing problems should be posted in Dummies Guide thread.

[Q] Flashing a ROM, SDCard WON't work, error in RUU.

Hello, so as I stated in the title, I want to flash a custom rom to my X1, I have already installed HardSPL, .72 version, and tried to flash an Energy rom.
The SDCard method won't work, I get the "Image file not found" with my card, and the same error but with some red letters appearing on top of the screen with the other 2 cards i tried. I tried to use KovskyAdvancedRUU to task28 (flash the phone regularly) and as soon as it gets to 1% I get the "Invalid Model ID" error.
Any ideas? Seriously, I don't know if this has been answered before but I have been searching for days and found nothing.
I will be really grateful if someone can provide help, and really sorry if there's already an answer on this.
My already installed rom is WM6.1, stock, Greek.

use hardSPL .78 try again.be sure u did steps in right order

Thanks for the reply! Please check the thread again later, I'll post the result!

dont forget use task 29 before flashing and hard reset after flashing for good perform for your rom...
