You have to READ and understand first before jumping into Flashing ROMs. Out of all the ROMs out there... Flashing Dutty's 2.7 is the most confusing, especially if you are new to ROM Flashing.
First of all, you would have to flash HSPL (Hard SPL) or USPL (Universal SPL) on your device to flash Cooked or Custom ROMs. Do a bit of reading on these 2 topics on the forum.
Learn about Bootloader mode.
Then go through the ROMs that are posted on the forum. Go through their change log, features, tweaks and programs that come with the ROM. Usually most of the Chefs post Change Logs and Screen shots of their ROMs. Go through the last few pages of the thread to know about any issues and solutions.
Then decide on the ROM you are interested in and go ahead with flashing your deivce.
Now, regarding the current state of your deivce... I am not really sure what exactly you did.
Try Removing the battery and put it back.
While holding down the Volume Down button, press the Power button. Your phone will enter the Bootloader mode (Tri color screen, rather 4 clolored sceen with White at the end).
Download one of the Stock ROMs they are also called Ship ROMs. Please do not download ROMs with version number 1.56.XXX. They are the latest ROMs and since I am not sure what state your device is in, I would recommend you to download a 1.14.XX version Stock ROM.
Then connect your device while in Bootloader mode and run the Stock ROM. You would get your device back to the original state that you bought it.

Thanks

Read the instructions properly. Here's the simplified version:
1. Flash a stock rom (e.g. 1.14.xxx) with 1.14 SPL. They also include the stock radio.
2. Flash stock SPL 1.14
3. Flash a 1.56.xxx stock rom (with 1.54 SPL). It also includes a new stock radio.
4. Run USPL 2.5(!).
5. Run the included RUUWrapper and install dutty's rom

kieboy
3. Flash a 1.56.xxx stock rom (with 1.54 SPL). It also includes a new stock radio.
do you have a link for that?

sorry
I found it myself, but thanks for the help

It seems HardSPL 1.40oli and this 2.32 rom don't work very well.Very sluggish and phone can't turn ON even after 2 Hard resets.
What is your experience???
Do not install if hard spl
I installed the ROM upgrade from HTC, it ****ed up my device real bad: phone module not working, device boot up in aprox 1 min, after 3 mins Touch Flo not started, it restarts by itself.
I did hard reset and nothing happens.
I,m reinstalling jademan superrom!
I hope that works!
Could anyone check, if the gps-support has been improved?

Exactly same symptoms. I went to Stock SPL 1.40 and reflashing the new rom now. Hope it works better
update : Jade is fine now. New SPL is 2.32.0000 . More testing to be done.
Question : Can HardSPL 1.40.oli be flashed over new 2.32.0000 ?

It is annoying that hardspl doesnt work with this upgrade of jade.. can't built a rom now with the new oem. It's all newer than the iolite versions, but still doesnt include Footprint
Any changes in Manila? New tabs? Calendar? Stocks? Changes in the contacts?
Hi
What is the Radio version in this new ROM?
I have just applied the version from here and if this contains the old Radio then I can hold off for now until hopefully a compliant Hard-SPL is made, I can live without Opera being perfect.
Hi all,
I'm a new owner of a Jade since april 11. I'm french so excuse me for my english ^^'
I installed this new rom, and i get exactly the same problems as Lexx2009 and Lagoskon. I tryed to install the stock 1.40 rom but it doesnt work. I can synchronize the phone but i cannot use customRUU or hard spl anymore, it says the Jade isn't plugged with the usb cable ..
Please can anyone tell me what i have to do to get a rom whith works please

Install a different rom from this forum-> Shut down your jade, unplug it. Hold down "volume down button" and ""power on button" to get in to boot mode. now start to flash another rom.
when finished you can install stock spl and then install this new rom
Stupid (or not so stupid) question,
If we flash original SPL to instal this ROM, and SPL is upgraded by this ROM to 2.32,.... and HardSPL does not work with this new 2.23 SPL,.....
THEN, IT SEEMS THAT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS WILL ONLY MAKE US SLAVES OF THIS NEW & OFFICIAL HTC ROM!!!! i.e. No possibility of other ROMs flashing until new HardSPL is developed,...
Please, somebody to confirm this statement?
Thanks,
Jarel

that's right.. but i think it's in one of the drivers. using the old drivers and the new oem/sys makes it possible to run it with the current hardspl.

no changes in manilla tabs, don't know what changed but it's newer

Potentially Broken T.HD - Need help!

Hi All,
I have used the search function - but ended up getting confused.
I have a Touch HD that I bought in January of this year (2009) from Mobiles.co.uk (Carphone Warehouse) and is on the O2 network (UK).
I have been using Dutty's ROMs (both 6.1 and 6.5) for months now - and have always used USPL when flashing, using the SD card method.
Over the past 3 days, my HD has been playing up.
When it started, I was using Dutty's R7. The radio was 1.14.something.something. The device was working perfectly, and I was really happy with the ROM and the way the phone was working. I had installed NO other applications with the exception of a different taskbar and obviously SDKCerts.cab
First of all, HTC Sense stopped working - it would cycle between "Loading HTC Sense" and "Tap here to launch HTC Sense"
Then, when rebooting the device, it just hung on the "Smart Mobility" screen. I left it in case it just needed a while to boot, but nothing.
I had no other option than to hard reset.
It worked OK for a few hours, but then HTC Sense started to crash again. So I flashed a new ROM - Lost in Asia or whatever it is called.
Same symptoms.
I flashed Dutty's R7 back and also the new 1.17 radio.
No joy.
The phone also hangs for ages on the Smart Mobility screen - perhaps a full minute where as before, it used to be no more than 15 seconds or so.
The following is displayed on the "Smart Mobility Screen"
1.17.25.09
52.69.25.37H
1.59.Dutty
The bootloader screen (before running USPL) shows the following:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) V6
So the question I'm asking - is... Is my phone suffering some kind of hardware malfunction, or is this a known and fixable fault that I somehow have caused?
If the phone looks like it is malfunctioning, how would I go about returning it to stock so that the CPWH repair centre do not know it's had an unofficial ROM installed?
I'd like to add that whilst I'm very PC literate, I'm no programmer and a lot of the stuff here is alien to me hence my confusion - I just know how to flash a new ROM etc.
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help me - I'd be really thankful to anyone that helps me sort this - be it tell me how to fix the device, or tells me to take it back!
Thanks in advance & Regards,
Chris.
Will D/L and flash Dutty's R0 Holy Grail ROM and see if that makes a difference...
If you've been using uspl than it will still be the stock spl and thus you could try to load the stock rom from htc.com specially designed for the touch hd(blackstone). I've read and heard from a lot of people that after flashing several roms and even hard resetting afterwards, some bits and pieces stay behind and flashing an original stock rom will undo this. I don't think it's a radio issue. And another big thing if you use dutty R7 that's a 1.56+ rom so you should have the right uspl olinex software to load these roms, if you used older software then problems with colouring and other things will appear.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So is it perhaps better to revert to the original ROM before flashing a cooked ROM? I always Hard Reset twice after flashing as understand this helps.
OK - so the 1.56+ situation - I was under the impression that using the latest USPL (2.5) when flashing was OK? I have never had the colour problem... but perhaps if I'm flashing wrong then these problems could be to do with this?
Thanks again...

The Sense Manila has known bug that you need to press home to load it (sometimes).
For you case, I would suggest you to clean up your SD Card.
there may be several file that cause your system to freeze.
So, format your SD, hard reset.. and cross fingers.
Yes, It is better to revert to the original rom once in a while before flashing a new rom, if u used the latest uspl and the colours are ok, then you've done that right and it will probably be bits and pieces of old flashed roms floating around on the device.
Best to revert to stock rom and hard reset twice.
Afterwards flash the rom u want. If everything works again. U could hspl instead of uspl, hspl is more stable if u ask me. And you can go back to stock spl if you have waranty issues. there's a tut on that to in the rom section.

I forgot to mention - that was one of the things I did. Previously, I had loads of email folders from all the ROM installs.
Now I have a folder containing the useful CAB files that I need, and the ROM image file. Thats it.
It's only a 1gb card as my 8gb card gave up the ghost.
Thanks for the suggestion though and my apologies for not mentioning this in the initial post.
From reading the Dummies guide, am I right in thinking that in order to use a 1.55+ ROM (such as Dutty's Holy Grail R0) I only need to run USPL and then flash (as opposed to flash a newer SPL) as my stock SPL is already 1.54?

Thanks for this - I didnt realise the device would retain bits and bobs, and you may well be right in that things are getting corrupted in there!
Which is the best stock ROM to flash - is there a link to one? I looked on the Wiki and there seem to be loads... which will work on a UK T8282?!
Thanks again!

what do you mean hang for age?
1 minute is nothing if it turns out boot up.
There are chances that the nand flash needs to refresh and wasted some times. But it won't be forever.

there's an original rom on htc.com for blackstone just use that one.
hope it will turn out right for you
I thought I'm the only one who had this problem. Last Sunday my blackstone started to freeze on the smart mobility screen too. I flash 3 different roms because I thought its an rom issue with no luck. On Monday it even managed to hardreset itself after I waited for about 15 min in the smart mobility screen.
After that I flashed a stock rom and it seem to be fine by now.
But now I will flash a custom again, the stock one is so 6.1

USPL or SplExploit???

Is anyone working on this anymore? Just curious.
Yeah my old HTC Vox had an USPL, this was much better then the HSPL. The USPL was automaticly overwritten if I restored an official HTC ROM. If i installed the USPL I could flash any custom ROM i wanted till i reflashed a official HTC ROM.
If your phone has problems it's much easier to restore to factory settings
Grtz,
FeareX
The other thing is a lot of the problems on the kaiser were solved by flashing the spl that matched the rom you were using. Does this still hold true?

That would hold true for any phone, but on Rhodium it doesn't really matter because there are currently so few SPLs. If I remember correctly, they're only 2, and only the HardSPL based off of the latest one is available for download.

Help me for updating ROM for HTC Touch HD

Hi,
I'm using HTC TOUCH HD (orange). I bought this handset from Scotland it was locked with orange only but i Unlocked this handset in india and now i'm using this handset with vodafone India.
Now this handset works gr8 for me but still i can see some settings are map with orange only. I heard if i update with international English ROM then my problem will get solved.
I have no idea about updating ROM. I read lots of blogs even i read on xda wiki also but not sure as its looks like if i update my ROM then i may lose my original ROM.
I have few question:
1. How to choose correct ROM for my handset.
2. Which is the right tool to take the Device backup.
3. If i'm unable to update with new ROM then will i lose my Original ROM.
Hereby i'm sending you my current ROM Version and release date
Current ROM Version: 1.1961.1 WWE
Operator Version: 34.119.1.611
ROM Date: 11/25/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26U
Your help will be highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest not doing it. If you can't read and search, then you can't flash a ROM.
hey dear. i also got my handset from UK with locked with orange. If u want to upgrade simply go for Cooked ROM's. Those original rom's are crap and cant use the full potential of ur handset.
I would suggest u go for Energy sense 2.1 21898 version.
u need to do just few things in order to flash a cooked rom. if u r ready then do let me know
the best way to take a backup is using PIM backup software
re ur 3rd question. once u flash a cooked rom u will never want to go back to ur original stock rom.
send me a pm whenever u r ready and confident to flash ur phone

sorry for late reply Thank you so much for ur positive reply.
Could you please let me know from where i can get the currect ROM for my handset?
also please tell me who u did it with ur HTC TOUCH HD and does and don't if you have something before flashing ROM.
OK I have some time so let me try to put it as simple as I can.
First, there are 3 firmwares:
SPL -- This needs to be hacked to be able to change to any ROM
ROM -- You have the HTC official one and cooked ones
RADIO: you have 1.09, lastest are 1.13 / 1.14 / 1.17
The safest way is to use USPL, since it does not modify the SPL. You can always flash a ROM again.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
Download uspl_2.5.zip
Be aware that some antivirus flag the exe as dangerous, but that's because it contains an exploit for a buffer overflow.
If you're using Vista or 7, you need to change the drivers for HTC USB sync as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
Now power off the phone (long press power button)
Press volume down on the side, and power button
That should leave it in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen
Now connect it to the PC and run USPL
It should reboot and go back to the Red/Green/Blue/White screen but now it says USPL
The phone is ready to flash any ROM or any radio now.

In the forum you have links to many cooked ROMs, based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. WM 6.5 takes more RAM and it's slower than 6.1 (like Vista and XP). But most ROMs today are WM 6.5.
I have been used these two in the last months:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648831
The recomendation is to flash the HTC stock ROM first (that will also update the RADIO to 1.13.25.24). Then if you want to experiment, you can flash a cooked ROM.
Well,
My opinion: once you are addicted to ROM, I think HSPL would be the best way.
You can flash a ROM within 5 minutes or less. Also, using task29 is even more easier.
Cheers, my friend.

By the way, I'm back to Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1.
The difference in speed with a WM 6.5 ROM is too big. People should really consider give this one a try and see what I mean. On WM 6.5 even typing in keyboard is slow. Here you start with 37% RAM used, not 52%. And while using Opera, you have 55% RAM used, not 80%.
No way I'm going back to WM 6.5.
ok, I'm closing this thread now. In future could everyone direct users looking for flashing help to this thread.
Thread closed

Alright i give up!

Before i put back the original spl and my ROM that i got with the phone i thought i should ask if anyone have an idea of what has gone wrong with my phone.
Right now i have HSPL on my phone, i think the name is 1.56 olinex, my radio is 1.14 and my ROM is kwbr topix 3.5 WM 6.1
Over the last months i have tried at leas 20 different cooked ROMS but the always end up with some kind of problem that i did not have before. The phone hangs, the wifi dont work, i can have a ROM on for a week without a problem, sometimes just an hour.I have read every thread there is about it, but i dont find any solution. I do perform task 29 prior to flashing, i have flashed back my original ROM, downloaded from HTC and tried to install a cooked ROM after that, but it doesnt help, the problems are the same.
I can mention that i dont have those problem when i have my orignal ROM on( the one that i have downloaded from HTC).
I would be very glad if anybody could help me cause i dont want my stock ROM back, its so boring.

did you perfom 2 hard resets after flashing?
Flash a stock rom and see if that helps..

The biggest problem, in my opinion is that the phone hangs, (turns off itself) and the wifi dont work. But maybe its just something that happens to everybody that is not using the stock ROM or am i wrong there.

Just to make things clear here, when everybody it talking about that it could help flashing a stock rom before you flash a custom rom, do you then mean install the rom that you download from HTC, or a stock rom that you can find in the forums here. The thing is with the stock rom from HTC you dont have to put the phone in its bootloader to flash. If the answer is that i should flash a stock rom that i can find here in the wiki, what rom should i use then, there are like 30 different ones.

Here is an other question about stock ROMS. Does anybody know if there is a stock ROM with color icons and the my location function? Do i have to have HSPL or USPL on my phone to but a stock rom on it, or does it work with the original SPL.

I would recommend performing a task 29, then flashing a stock rom from the wiki on these forums. Once flashed then reflash a custom rom. Let us know how you get on. Also, not to point out the obvious, ensure you having matching SPL with rom

Its wm6.5 so would have a base of 1.56+ which is compatible with your SPL. All roms based on 1.56+ are compatible with HSPL 1.56
As I mentioned earlier, try a task 29 and restore stock rom from wiki, then reflash custom rom. Also, try and make sure that your radio and rilphone match. Should improve signal/reception and possibly performance

Thank you for helping a noob out here One more noobish question, how do i know if the rilphone and the radio match?Right now i have the radio 1.14 and i found this cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610927, i am not sure if the match, but if the dont what do i look for when i want to download the rilphone file?
Hi. Seems like the only thing you haven't tried is the reapply the HSPL. I've heard that it can sometimes get screwed up and this may account for the problems you're having. Obviously applying the HSPL is risky because if it goes wrong you have yourself an expensive waper weight. Good luck.
Just to get it right, when i flash a stock ROM do i have to wait until its completely installed(i mean booting up installing windows, setting time and date), until i flash my custom ROM or can i just pull out the battery when the smart mobility shows up

Hmmm.... I'm using USPL with no problems, so it's not necessary to have HSPL on your phone (depending on ROM).
I used USPL with Topix 3.5 WM 6.1 weather sense, so there should be no problem too.
Normally I do HR when ROM shows alignment screen.
Ah, yes... and I flash stock ROM from HTC site....

So in other words it could work to flash my old original rom with the original radio on, undo my HSPL to the original SPL, then get USPL on the phone and flash Topix 3,5?

Alright i did what you recommended last night; flashed swedish stock ROM with radio 1.13, performed task 29, flashed Topix 3.5 with Windows 6.1 and sense weather, hard reset 2 time.
1 Wifi dont work, when i turn it on, it turns off, i then install the my location rilphone cab that i mentioned, and start up the phone again, now it works.
In the morning when i am writing this, it still works.
Will keep you updated once a day here.

One more thing to try with the WiFi to make it work
Go to Comm manager in settings and make sure that WiFi is OFF
Switch OFF the phone (not soft reset but switch it OFF so that it shuts down all processes properly
Reboot the phone after 10 seconds
Switch on WiFi and see if that cures your problem
I have noticed sometimes after a soft reset my WiFi dosent work but switching off forces it reset itself
Hope that helps

Exactly what i have noticed too, Flashed a ROM a few days ago, wifi dont work, i dont do anything but turning the phone off and on again and i works.
Am i using the right rilphone for my radio 1.13? i used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610927 i use the rilphone my location cab in this post.
Mmmm.... maybe you should update to Radio 1.14... I was not satisfied at all with 1.13...
And most cooks have habit of cooking rilphone in their ROMs, but not radio...
So far I found that rilphone 1.14 works with almost any radio.

In fact the only reason i have radio1.13 on is cause it came along with my stock rom
