Hey,
Ok so my attempts are failing at upgrading to Dutty's latest ROM. I've followed everything in the USPL section in crackwhore's dummies guide, and I keep getting a [262] Update Error, and it sticks at 0% on the phone.
I then followed the other dummies guide about using USPL, and downloaded the latest blac_uspl and ran than. That worked fine, and I got the ROM installed, but then suffered from the green fuzzy screen and being stuck in airplane mode. So I tried again, and had the same problem. I then used that blac_uspl and installed from SD, but still had the same problem.
This is driving me mad, I can't seem to find anything on here which works and now my phone's not working
Can anyone pleease help??
you have the wrong SPL for newer roms, Crackwhore's post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 and typing green screen into the search box should help, question gets asked a lot.
Ok I've just read that for 1.56+ ROMs I need HSPL. I was worried about installing that because I've read that if not done correctly it will brick the phone. But I'm guessing that's what I need to install first?
You either need the standard SPL version 1.54 (which can also be flashed by using USPL and an official stock 1.56 rom), or HSPL 1.56. Yes it's possible to brick a phone by having a bad SPL flash, but a standard rom upgrade from HTC flashes the SPL anyway (unless you have HSPL 1.56 installed which protects itself)
I use HSPL - I don't care about the warranty issues.
Ok well I'll try and flash the HSPL 1.56 and keep my fingers crossed!!
Don't worry...it worked for me and will work for you...
Hey Moderators, this is a good topic do be deleted isn't it? (Repeated issue)

Is it possible? I'm stuck on the stock ROM on SPL 1.54 at the moment, USPL not working.
I did a search but nothing came back about this... it's all in the wording
Been there done that...
I had to revert back yesterday after hours and hours of trying to install the new Dutty v3 on mine. I loaded the Hard-SPL back on my phone(panicked a bit when I switched it back on and the colours were all funny) copied a 1.14 blacimg.nbh onto the sd card and 10 minutes later I was back in business. I don't know if this is the "correct" way but it's how I did it.
Thanks - will give that a try.
Hang on - which HardSPL did you use? The one in the sticky post in here does not work with SPL 1.54... (which is true - I just tried)
OliNex - worked for me.
Ah so I flash the old 1.14 stock ROM first to downgrade the SPL.. got it
Thanks!
I first did Hard-SPL. I suppose it doesn't really matter. I love my HD, it's tough as nails and handles just about all the abuse you can throw at it pretty well. Good luck.
I also had problems using USPL to flash any homebrew ROM. Read through the dummy manual and even that did not work. Tried it on a Vista PC and on a XP pc, but it did not work. Eventually I did manage to flash, not using Vista (32-bits) but using XP. Here is how I did it:
1) From command prompt on XP, run black_uspl.exe to put the HD in USPL mode. On the HD, after reboot on the lower part USB should be mentioned.
2) Then from command prompt on XP, run BlackStoneRUUWrapper.exe to start the flashing process.
Thanks I'll definitely try this. But over the weekend - I was up till after midnight fiddling on the pc.
This actually works. Its has for me and i thank you for trying it.
Only thing is, if you do it via SD card, no problems.
If you do it via active sync cable, it is a little tricky.
For me, i flashed HSPL first. As expected, i got the green screen and my data and phone settings wouldnt work. Not so bad i thought, as i will be putting the Stock 1.14 Rom back on and no problems. This is where the fun began. No active sync, and then i got it but wouldnt last long enough to even run Stock Rom flash.
Thats when i reverted back to how Crackwhore mentioned going back to stock SPL.
And that was, goto Active sync Connection settings on PC and untick " Allow USB Connections".
Then put unit into Bootloader as per instructions everywhere here. Bottom of phone will say "Serial" and will show Olinex 1.14 SPL (or however it shows it, sorry)
Plugged in the usb cable and the bottom of phone said "USB"
I then ran the Stock Rom Flashing file ( I used BlackstoneCustom RUU from Dutty's Site, as it has Stock Rom and Stock Radio)
The ROM Downgrade worked perfectly for me.
Im now in the process of re-upgrading my radio and Back to the Rom i was using prior to 1.56 (much more faster and more reliable for me at the moment) I will post up my results when it is done. Hopen this helps others.
NOTE----- I take no responsibility for anyone elses phone. This is you own decision as it was mine- The risk is completely in the beholder of the phone and PC. No Offence intended to anyone.

Well I've managed to do it - back to SPL 1.14.Olinex, running Miri's WM6.5 v8.1 ROM with Manila (the best of both worlds). If anyone's interested, I did it this way:
First flashed the older official HTC ROM (I had the official 1.56 ROM installed before). This put my SPL back down to the stock SPL 1.14. Next I put on the HardSPL, then stuck the new ROM on.
Simples
I can confirm that my downgrade of SPL 1.54 to HSPL olinex 1.14 and Lesser Rom worked ok. Now i have to test it.
If i find anything worth mentioning, i will post it up.

I think I've been a total idiot and messed up my HD. I hope there's a way to salvage the situation!
I was attempting to flash a 1.56 ROM so tried to downgrade to SPL 1.54; this was going along nicely until it encountered an error and tried to re-start the flash. Now the device is stuck on "Loading..." before begining the flashing process.
If I soft-reset the device, the SPL has changed to 1.54.0000 according to the Bootloader screen but it says "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again".
I've googled that error message and found a few hits but none of them presented a solution; just people asking this question.
Since that, I've tried to Hard-Reset but it brings me back to the same Bootloader error.
I've tried to flash a ROM but the device can't connect to Activesync to use the RUU_Wrapper and flashing via the BLACIMG.nbh on my SD card won't work either; it just goes back to the same Bootloader error screen and gets stuck on the "Loading..." again.
I've also tried to flash the new HSPL which is 1.56 capable but that suffers the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? Please? Never encountered anything like this in years of flashing my Blueangel and Tytn.
Full details from my bootloader screen:
RUUNBH
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
Upgrade ROM code error
Please try again

That doesn't seem to be the same problem as the one I'm encountering. I found that thread via Google as I said I had searched in my post and flashing the stock HTC ROM that came with my device did nothing to solve the problem; 3 machines here, one running XP, one running Vista and one running 7 all fail to connect to the device to allow for any sort of flashing and flashing via an SD card does not provoke a response either.
--Edit--
Sorry - realised that my reply sounded a little stroppy! Blame it on the stress of having a possible brick on my hands! Thanks for the attempt to help but, like it says above, that solution hasn't worked for me

Have you tried reading cRaCKwHoRe's guide for flashing 1.56 roms. Can be found in my signature. If you follow his steps, you should have no problems

Hi, dom_mitchell1...did you manager to fix you HD ? I have encountered the "exact" same problem...I went from 1.56 to 1.54...and now I am stuck on the bootloader at "Loading...." If you have a fix...can you please let me know...and save my HD as well....thx
If you use USPL you will be able to flash everything you want.

That's what I was following when things went wrong. Don't know what I did but during the downgrade process the flash "encountered an error" and had to restart....only it never did and just left me stuck in the bootloader with an error message.
It's fixed up now though and I'm running Dutty's shipped version quite happily. To fix it I tried different .msi packages from HTC and eventually one of them managed a successful flash. From there I was able to continue with cRaCKwHoRe's guide.
i had a similar problem i was upgrading to 1.56 so i to my thinking reverted to a stock rom them loaded 1.14 stock spl where my phone started showing the error screen i investigated and found that the stock rom id downlosded from the stock rom section must have been tampered with as the signarure was incommplete. so now the spl was reading 114000... as it was stuck in tri screen the data had loaded to my device it justxwasnt signed so wouldnt work i dowladed the appropriat 1.56 rom from htc which includdes the new 1.54spl started it and there i whent stock 1.56 rom with stock 1.54 spl. i than loaded olinexs new hspl im running vista so had to use the manual tool but othere than that installed ok.
i hope that helped in short as long as ur screen is reading a stock spl u can install an apropriat 1.56 rom from htc i belive the issue is caused by impropper signage of some stuff marked as stock here.
Hi,
I've just upgraded to a new Dutch rom, but since then I only have trouble.
I get different colours (like drivers are not loaded), it keeps getting stuck or resets itself, and nothing helps.
I've tried to put on a different rom, with succes, but I still have the same problems.
On startup, however, I see the right colours.
I also put back the latest original ROM, but no luck...
Can anybody help me?
guessing you have hspl 1.14 installed
Yeah, I reinstalled that, as one of the latest things I did.
The problem you describe happens when you flash a 1.56 based rom with 1.14 HSPL. First flash a stock 1.56 ROM (a new SPL is then flashed as well) or use the new HSPL. Then you should be fine. So no, it's nor corrupt!
For more info, read crackwhore's guide (sticky)
Well, I'm trying to do so now, but it keeps getting stuck at 0%...
Does it matter I have an NLD-version, and not a WWE?
Update: I cannot get a proper connection via activesync, and through the bootloader it stays at 0%, and after a while the update utility says no.
Update 2: ah, thanks to troubleshooting, it looks fine!
THANKS!
Hy Guys,
I just hard spld my HTC Touch HD and all the colors of the screen look
oil smudged every time i boot up the device.
The htc logo , the wm6.1 screen have this problem
and after i refresh the screen (sleep button) it comes back to normal.
and everytime i reset the phone its the same thing until I refresh the screen
can anyone help me out ??
thank you
the attached image is a render of how horrible the screen looks.
Bad flash? Probably no HardSPL installed?
I suggest you read the Dummies Guide to see if you flashed correctly.
Then you can follow the steps to get your Blackstone normal again
from OliNex's post:
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, use 1.56 HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip ) if you want to use new 1.5x ROMs. then extract to an empty folder.
NOTE: 1.14 HSPL (the original Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip) is good for only older ROMs, 1.56 HSPL (HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip) is good for newer ROMs. 1.56 is not backwards compatible with old ROMs. the incompatible ROM will still boot but screen is going to look funny which is a temporary issue but uncomfortable.

You flashed a 1.56+ ROM without having the 1.54 SPL! As suggested, use the Dummies Guide to flash HSPL. Or if you want to use USPL flash an official 1.56+ ROM first! (Then reflash this one.)

I have successfuly flashed my X1 and im installing costum rom on them.
But now friend came with his X1 wanting me to install custom ROM on it.
I started Hard SPL unlocker and everything gone OK until it came to bootloader mode. Windows installed all drivers without problems but progress bars on both phone and pc were at 0%. After about half minute waiting at 0% it thrown out error 626. After that i taken battery out and back in and phone boots normally with Stock SPL.
A am suspecting that problem is in Stock SPL version. I have 0.72 while in Hard SPL thread it says 0.52 and maybe Hard SPL is not supported on this version.
I have searched about 626 but didnt find any solution.
Please help.

Just got that error yesterday while updating my Rom and OS go to Settings, Connections, USBto PC, then choose active sync and check enable advance network. You might need to reboot your host pc to recognize changes on you mobile device.
Tried both checked and unchecked and dont work
I have managed to solve it!
Problem was newer Stock SPL.
What i did is installed image that contained old 0.52 SPL and now i can finally install Custom ROMS
Great!!! I will remember that one too.
