Flashing 1.56 custom when Blackstone has 1.54 SPL default - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

I am about to buy a Touch HD that has already the stock 1.56 ROM therefore, has 1.54 SPL in by default....
What is not perfectly clear is... do i still need to downgrade, hardSPL, upgrade to 1.56 and then use uSPL or do i simply use USPL and flash as it is?....

2nd option. Run USPL first, everytime you want to flash a ROM/Radio/etc.

USPL and flash
Gr. Bram

If your device already has 1.54 SPL, USPL is your only choice. Also, unlike HSPL, USPL is NOT on your device all the time. So every time you want to flash a cooked ROM you would have to flash USPL to your device before the cooked ROM flash.
Now if you want to try the cooked ROMs that have 1.14 SPL, you also have an option to downgrade your SPL and then flash.
There are 2 kinds of ROMs out there (both cooked and ship) The ones that only work with 1.54 SPL (you would get this SPL if you flash Ship 1.56 ROM) and the ones that do NOT work with 1.54 SPL (these ROMs have 1.14 or 1.19 SPL).
HSPL is only good for NON-1.54 SPL ROMs.
USPL works with All kinds of SPLs.

Little Problem

Hey Guyz
Ijust flashed SPL 1.54 on my blackstone via uspl. now I got the problem that I can't flash another spl like 1.56 olinex or anything else cuz the communication between blackstone und PC via USB breaks every time.I'm sure my USB devices are fine but what happend to my blackstone? I can't even flash ROMs with my the spl 1.54 cuz it freezes in "Loading..." screen in the bootloader...(SD flash)
here is the link to the spl I tried to use,
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/htc_touch_hd_forum/72426-htc_touch_hd_spl_1_54_a.html
I precicely followed the instructions in the Video and my bootloader actually shows SPL version 1.54 but only in that screen, when I'm in the installer of another SPL (tried 1.14 and 1.56) the version isn't displayed.
anyone got an idea what to do? The Way it is I ruined my guarantee and can't even flash Roms :-(

If your SPL is 1.54.0000 then you need to re-use USPL before flashing. USPL is only temporary and needs to be re-used before every flash
Read this guide and post any further queries within that thread.

Yes, you MUST have 1.56 HSPL to instal a WM6.5 ROM with Manila 2.5. Where do you found your 1.56 HSPL?

You can flash ANYTHING YOU WANT over ANYTHING YOU HAVE, just be sure to ONLY USE FASTBOOT. Recovery flashing can BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!
Lol, don't screem at him, but it definately is a helluvalot safer to use fastboot.

[Q] problem flashing radio and non-matching SPL using "safe" method

Hi,
I've just downgraded my G1 to RC7 and rooted it. Then I flashed Amon_Ra's recovery 1.7.0. My bootloader was 0.95.0000 so I flashed the mathing engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (as suggested here wiki.xda-developers.com/phpwiki213/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Bootloader )
But the wiki also says 'Be aware that the partial-engineering SPL 0.95.3000 (and the hacked version 10.95.3000) do NOT have the ability to fastboot flash a radio or spl image. It is necessary to install ?SafeSPL 1.33.2003 first.'
So what is SafeSPL and how is it safe to flash it? 0.95.3000 and 1.33.2003 don't match in any way, do they?
EDIT:
found the answer in the wiki article
1.33.2003 aka ?SafeSPL -- a full engineering SPL, origin unknown. This SPL is entirely compatible with DREAM ORIGINAL SPLs, 0.95.0000 and 0.95.3000.

so 0.95.0000 und 0.95.3000 are kind of "matching" with 1.33.2003, so I'll switch from 0.95.3000 to 1.33.2003 (which seems to be "SAFE", and can't cause a brick) and then flash new radio and dangerSPL with fastboot as soon as I get home. I hope that'll work this way...
are there any "safe" sources, maybe with md5sum for 1.33.2003? There is no link given in the wiki article
EDIT2:
just found the answer in someones signature
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6510019#post6510019
but it is safe to upgrade from 0.95.3000 with radio 1.x to 1.33.2003 ? Because I still have a stock radio 1.x and wanted to flash 1.33.2003 SPL and then flash 2.x radio via fastboot. Don't want to brick it
EDIT:
maybe we should also add a table/matrix to the wiki, that clearly says what combination of SPL/radio will cause a brick on flash with recovery

This information is spelled out VERY CLEARLY in the wiki. I really suggest that you READ it....

Htc hd7 spl-1.57

Hi, i have a HTC HD7
this day try to downgrade my device following this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
the bootloader I had was 5.XX so I use this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837
i use this room
RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
my problem is with the SPL i got a SPL version 1.57 and i cant intall RSPL.
What can i do?
ty.
When you ran the RSPL wizard there wasn't a 1.5 RSPL version that was a close match? It doesn't have to be exactly 1.57 but a 1.5xx version.
If not you can try and install a different PreNoDo/Nodo rom to the device that has a different SPL version that is supported by RSPL/HSPL.

ty for your answer, i tried with RSPL 1.56 and did not work, what PreNoDo/Nodo could use for?
Europe 1.69.401.01 HTC HD7 T9292 7.0.7389.0 2250.09.16901.401 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U 1.69.2250.0(117833)

https://rapidshare.com/#!download|3...01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U.7z|9310|0|0

XSPL - Fail
i tried with other radios and used Task 00 but none pass from 3%
The radio won't effect whether or not you can install XSPL.
The only other thing that can prevent it from installing is the devices MID. What's your devices MID?
Enter into bootloader mode and the first line on the top is the devices MID and will look something like "PD29130"
