Quick question about flashing 1.56-based ROM - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hello,
I DID read Wiki and Tutorial about flashing 1.56 ROMs. But I STILL have questions.
What I have:
1. I have original and SIM-unlocked HTC HD with SPL 1.14
2. Never flashed anything on it
3. Never did HardSPL, USPL, etc
What I want:
4. Flash Dutty V3 XT Shipped Final ROM (based on 1.56)
5. Update Radio ROMs if needed
Since now we have HardSPL support for 1.56 roms (or we dont ? ) ...
6. Do I need to follow Dutty's instruction (with USPL, etc) ?
or
7. Can I just run HardSPL over my original 1.54 HD and then simply flash Dutty's V3 (1.56-based) ROM
or
8. I have to flash HTC's official 1.56 ROM and then run HardSPL and then Dutty's ROM ?
or
9. Something else ?
Thanks for response.

just run hardspl but make sure its the new 156 olinex
then ur ready to flash duttys v3

It worked for me that way. Thx

So ... no need to flash official HTC's 1.56 update ? Great ! Thanks

Sorry for Offtopic but, i cant install official wm5 rom cause.
The ruu with wm5 doesnt work> connection error
The .nkb doesnt work with ruu mun> file read error
What to do???
LOLOLOLOL
Are you sure it is .nkb? Wizard doesn't use that kind of ROM...
What?? Of course he uses. I extracted the RUU and rom file from .exe instaler.
What could i do? I tried also flash it with softspl and i didnt work.
Well,which rom you are trying to flash and which rom is at present running on the phone,plz be specific ?This problem usually occurs when trying to flash a rom in a language different then already present on the phone.Are you running a Russian or some other language OS on the phone and trying to flash with a rom in some other language ?

I have T mobile mda vario g4 and i want to install official wizard wm5 rom in german language. And i cant.
No i am running wm6.1 with english language. I had never, after the hardspl, problem with flashing g4 roms. Everithing worked perfect with muunˇs RUU.
I have english rom( all instaled roms were anglish) and i want to downgrade to official wm5 german rom. And tzhen upgrade to another wm6 or wm6.1 rom.
Why i cant??
Sorry. U are right. The rom file is. nbf , and yeah the official rom is like that.
If i try to flash it with ruu in official pack - i cant cause wrong update tool ( no connection)
And if i want to flash this official rom with munn ruu - file read error( something wrong with .nbf file)
sry, double post
and thanks for helping me out
Ok,I got your point. You are at present on wm6.1 latest custom build rom in english and you want to go back to your phones official wm5 rom,ok ?
Right,well,as you have done 'HardSPL' your phone and its IPL/SPL is patched to IPl 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.olip,right ?
ok,now as you have patched to ipl 2.21.0001 & spl 2.21 olip through 'HardSPL',its not possible to revert back to official rom,untill you remove the 'HardSPL' from your phone and flash the original/official IPL/SPL of your phones carrier Rom bootloaders.After only removing HardSPL and getting the official ipl/spl,it'll will be possible to flash the official wm5 rom,ok
Now,how to remove 'HardSPL', read and follow the method as instructed in the 'Sticky' in the G4 forum by dharvey "How To: Remove HardSPL"
Well,then again,if you want to upgrade to another wm6 rom,you'll have to either again use 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL',but,if at all,you want to flash with another wm6 rom,then why first downgrade to wm5,why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
Cheers!
Yeah, everything is soo as u wrote.
you: why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
I have very strange problem with wm6.1 rom that i would like to use, until the new paradox rom will come out. i will try it for sure.
U can read about problem in wm6 subforum in windows Mobile 6.1 slim editon thread.
So do i have any option unless to remove hardspl?
u are the king , i wouldn come in weeks to the "please remove hardspl, " solution. hahahaha thanks again
Ok, thanks
well,if you got a problem with the wm 6.1 slim,then just flash another wm6.1 latest rom e.g by 'it's right' 'TNT 19199 series Professional Rom' as I have personally used it and found it to be an excellent rom,without removing HardSPL and reverting back to official wm5 rom.Just give it a try,I'm pretty sure you'll like it and may sove all your problem,as it'll replace all the rom files of the previous wm6.1 slim rom.
Cheers!
Tooo late. hehe
To remove the hardspl u need 2 minutes. I removed it and tried to instalruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship
Again once again i get the message from ruu = error file read.
Could somebody open that rom and look for problems.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
First one on the site.
Right now i want to flash another official rom( from remove hardspl thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744) and it say again file read.
What could that mean??
EDIT:
I just succesfully instaled ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_ rom with ruu in the rom` folder. I tried also the T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom (old) with his ruu and it didnt worked. Also softspl didnt work on both roms.
I need quick answer
now i flashed wm5 rom aku 3.3 and the ipl/spl changed to 3.08 . Before was 2.26 which i got with instaling ipl/spl pack.
Is that bad for g4 with ipl/spl 3.08 , is it safe to install wm6.1 roms?????

Weird graphic / color issue

I recently upgraded to the official HTC 1.56 ROM.
Flashed it as I normally do via the microSD card. Everything seemed to be fine but once I got the boot screen the colors went from white to teal colored. Even the boot up image is teal colored.
Once the ROM boots up the color issue is still there.
If I turn off the backlight and then turn it back on the colors go back to normal with no issues. If I soft reset it will go back to the weird color issue again. I have tried flashing 3 other ROMs....the official shipped ROM that came with my device and other ROMs as well.
Anybody else ever heard of something like this or have a problem such as this before.
Any advice help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I assume this is a hardware related issue or maybe SPL?
Here we go. I Just have had the same issue. I was in HSPL before. I changed to USPL and flashed 1.56 based ROM by Laurentius, in beta testing. Everything was fine. I decided to try Davidhuck 6.5 v7 ROM, and after flashing in USPL mode I had the same problem. Now I'm trying tp flash another ROM.
I have had the same since upgrading to new official HTC rom.
you need to remove hspl by restoring your original stock spl before flashing rom 1.56 so your spl can upgrade to 1.54. see the rom 1.56 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583

Wow thank you for this. Does anybody happen to have the SPL 1.54 as a standalone. I will be unable to flash the ROM without hardSPL.
Invalid vendor ID 294.
I used uspl 2.5 after I restored stock spl, has worked ok for me several times but its a risky flash according to the uspl thread, use at your own risk
It's not a metter of reverting back to 1.14 or 1.54 stock...
I did this operation the very first time to get Original Stock SPL 1.14:
Instruction one more time to flash to my latest rom.
1) Flash stock rom to get stock spl:

2) Flash USPL and then flash to latest HTC 1.56:
Uspl:

The moment I tried to flash a different rom, a wm 6.5 based, I had the problem.
try going back to spl 1.14 / hspl for the wm6.5 roms. need to match the roms to the corresponding spl's now
@pw120
The miri WM6.5 v.7.2 is based on 1.56 rom...it should match new SPL...but I still have the same issue...
Now I flashed the stock 1.56 and the weird color issue has gone. Uhm...it should be related to WM 6.5 ROM. Now I will flash once again a 6.1 coocked rom based on 1.56 and see what happens...
Problem fixed.
thanks guys.
1.) Revert to original SPL
2.) Flash USPL 2.5
3.) Flash 1.56 ROM
4.) Complete.
if anybody else has problems with this just hit me up on MSN at [email protected] or via PM.
@AllTheWay
The problem is not fixed for me. I did that procedure 3 days ago and then I installed last Laurentius Beta ROM which is 1.56 one. The problem occured when I decided to flash some WM 6.5 ROM and also last 6.1 Davidhuck. Now I'm flashing back Laurentius beta to see what happen...
some cooked roms based on 1.56 have changed one of the .dll files so they work with old spl and hspl
@ PW 120
U r veru right! This is the problem! So to all coockers please
SPECIFY IF YOUR ROM ARE FULL 1.56 BASED OR NOT...

Flashing stock ROM won't give you stock SPL if you had already flashed new ROM with 1.54 SPL. You have to flash stock SPL separately to get back to it. Had colour screen problem with stock ROM and realised I still had 1.54 SPL from upgrading newer ROM. Flashing 1.14 SPL the risky way with USPL solved the problem for me.
Same problem after NEW WWE 1.56.401.1 ROM
I just Reflash with OLD Europe 1.14.401.2 ROM from WIKI
All is OK now,
no colour screen problem and the 1.14 SPL is back to my HD

Well, I falshed stock ROM when I was HSPL in order to get original 1.14. Now I'm with 1.54. I suppose that if I would go back to 1.14 and than HSPL, I should follow a different procedure that, as are you telling me, couldn't be the simply flashing 1.14 original stock.
The problem of wired color under 1.56, is that the most of the ROM avaible are designed for lower SPL, and also the one which are based on 1.56, were modified by replacing a dll file which allow all people with 1.14 HSPL device to flash every rom. ATM I'm running a beta ROM by Laurentius which is "full" 1.56 and I have no problem. So, once you upgrade to 1.56 and flash with USPL (since HSPL for 1.54 is still not avaible), if yuu want to flash all the rest of the rom you have to downgrade to 1.14 spl:
* Download an older stock ROM for your CID (region/operator)
* Flash ROM (to downgrade SPL)
* Install HardSPL
The problem is that for a period we will have this double way in ROM coocking, one with full 1.56 base and another one with a 1.56 modified dll. All coockers should point out when a new rom will be released, if it is for HSPL 1.14 or USPL 1.56.
...at least I think this is the problem...

Hmm...
Here's what I did:
Had HardSPL, flashed to original rom with original SPL.
Then upgraded to original 1.56 without problems.
When I now use USPL to flash cooked ROMs based on 1.56 (like Miri's 7.2), I get the green screen until I turn the screen off and back on again.
Is this fixed by flashing the original 1.56 from USPL? Sounds a bit weird to me.

You sure that 7.2 is based on 1.56 ?
"* [ROM][WWE][11.04.2009] Miri WM 6.5 21500 :: V 7.2 [ONLINE]
This ROM is based on Windows Mobile 6.5 build 21500." first post of his thread
The way I see it is once you have 1.56 you can't flash cooked roms with out getting the color issue.
I think the exeptions are roms based on 1.56 as they have the correct version and combination of disptools.dll.
Now you dont want a stock rom so why would you still need SPL 1.54 on your decvice were you can run the risk of the color issue.
Would not a down grade of the SPL to 1.14 be enough for you to flash any rom as you did in the past (HSPL, USPL).
Now what I am not sure about is if you downgrade SPL 1.54 to 1.14 and still have a 1.56 rom installed will you get color issues ???
As allways info taken out of this wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Rom156
@fjevel
Miri's 7.2 is not a full 1.56 based rom. He should have modifed a dll in order to make it run under 1.14 HSPL device. To have it to work correctly you should flash a full 1.56 ROM, like stock one or Leo Beta I'm currently testing.

Impossible to install any 6.5 rom

i have installed new rom 1.56 (ita)
Then, to try some cooked rom with 6.5, i installed back an official rom 1.14 (ita)
i tryed after to install any 6.5 rom (davideuck6.5, lite-65, miriwm65,karmba_a_hd), the loader started to work but it blocked at 0% in pc and in the HD till timeout.
I reverted back with stock 1.14 , 1,15 , tried with hardspl, but with the same result.
Only officials roms (ITA) do not stuck at 0%.
With my diamond everything went fine, but with my HD i cannot manage to install any rom with 6.5 ..
any idea?

Are you sure you have installed HSPL properly??
Go into bootloader mode(press and hold volume down and switch on button at the same time), what value do you have on SPL??
It must be "SPL-1.14.OliNex", if not, you have not installed HSPL, so you have to try again.

I had also installed new rom 1.56 but then downgraded to 1.14 and I then entered the bootloader and used USPL 2.5 and I could easily install any of the 6.5 roms that i tried.

HELP!!! Cant FLash Rom/Radio After going to USPL 2.5

Hi all, i sucessfully changed to USPL, everything went well. I updated drivers and all that and successfully flashed Dutty's latest ship rom. Problem is i'm trying to upgrade my radio, but the screen stays @ 0% and then goes into recovery mode. Is this because of the USPL? Sorry if this has been asked be4!
Flash your radio as the way you flash your rom ~
trsut me this isnt my first time flashing. Since i installed USPL, it just hangs @ 0%.

If you have Dutty's latest rom loaded now that means you are running the stock SPL (version 1.54.0000). This means your phone is not unlocked and you cannot flash radios or unsigned/cooked roms without running USPL. You have to remember USPL is temporary, it is not like HSPL. It does not modify the SPL on your device. Each time you want to flash a radio or a custom rom you need to run USPL to temporarily unlock your device, just as you did when you loaded Dutty's latest rom.

Thanks crack, thats what i needed!!

Wierd Problem

I had to transfer this from the HSPL thread, since i guess noone is really reading that thread no more.
Although i had 1.56 from olinex installed, i tried to update from duttys v3 into miris 8.2 and i still got the green screen. Is this normal ?
I had to downgrade to 1.14 to flash normally since uspl 2.5 isnt working on olinex's 1.56 spl.
EDIT : And on top of that i cannot flash any other rom, i get green screen again.
WHAT THE HELL ?
PS2 : I have flashed over 6 roms now with uspl, and it still wont work correctly.
Technically if you had Duttys V3 working fine with no green screen and then put HSPL 1.56 on your device, you should be able to flash to any 1.56 based rom with no green screen issues
What version of SPL do you currently have installed?
Duplicate thread. Already been discussed in the HSPL thread.
