Cannot flash Blackstone - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to flash my phone. First I read al the info here and also watched some videos at youtube. I have a iMac and use parallels to run Windows XP. I can sync without any problems through Activesync. The usb is plugged in at the back of the iMac.
So I started the hsplwrapper from olinex. Everything went okay until I got the tricolour screen including text 'usb'. Then the usb connection stopped and the phone could not be flashed.
Checked the issues on the forum.
I tried different usb ports a sspl-manual with no results. Also restarting pc, hard reset on phone also nothing.
Maybe it is not possible because I use windows through parallels? Or do I have to use a cradle instead of a plain usb cable?
Does someone have a clue?

Unplug the USB cable after running uSPL or HardSPL, then plug it back and wait till USB comes on the screen again.
Maybe search for the proper HTC drivers for Windows XP.

Reply
Thank you I will try this.

blackstone ruu is known to stop functioning using xp running on parallels..
ull need a pc to update to hspl and then u can use the sdcard to flash in future..
try instead of parallels using boot camp with the updated drivers, maybe this can help..

Is there also an other alternative virtual maschine for Imac that is more stable for performing this task?
If possible I do not want to use bootcamp.

well parallels and vmware actually limit the xp capabilities..
for full functioning there is only boot camp yet..

Okay then I will give bootcamp a try
Thanks for the tip!

gud luck and do post the results...

Luckely I still have some older desktop windows pc and tried there to flash it and it works without any errors ... so thank you all for the help and I am looking forward to all new roms!

are you unlocking your phone, or trying to flash a rom? if its a rom , just name it BLACIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of your SD card. then reboot your phone while holding down the "volume down" button.

Well I flashed a rom and now I'm enjoying the new 6.5 wm and it works fine.

If you want help, it's better to actually include vital data: G3 or G4? CID & SIM unlocked, or not?
What ver. of ActiveSync do you have? Win XP or Vista? What have you read so far?
Goodluck
change another ROMUpdateUtility software
Sorry,
G3 device, cid & sim UNLOCKED.
Windows XP home editon.
I flash from bootloader..
Byebye
thanks so far!
I bet it's the Operating System. My desktop has WinXP PRO SP2 and everytime i try to flash a ROM it simply hangs. I must reboot the hard way (using reset button) as not even CTRL+ALT+DEL work. I know it must be something wrong with the USB configuration as every time i need to print something the USB pen drive opens LOL
I'm forced to flash with my old laptop that runs Win2K

Yup ! it works with WinXP Sp2 perfectly,But with winXp Home Edition,well I'am not sure,this might be the cause also, as I have never worked with WinXP Home edition.
I'll suggest u try on WinXp Pro SP2 to be sure .
cheers
Its fixed now =)...
I just installed WIndows Installer 3, and Activsync 4.5.

Can't connect to my pc!

I just want to connect so i can update to the newest swedish rom released.
And of course everything else
When i connect the usb to phone i get the alternatives "Activesync" or "disc-unit" or something like that.
I choose activesync.....it connects but after a few seconds it disconnects.
It will show up on my pc but just disconnects right after....it has always worked before.....i really don't know what to do.
Then i use the other alternative to connect.....it seems stable but it is extremely slow.....one mp3 at 3mb takes about 40minutes to upload to phone.
I have the "Official Update 1.37.401.3" installed but i want install the newer one.
Please help me.
My usb cords i have tried using is flawless....everything works.
Im running Vista Ultimate Retail.
Please help me through this ordeal....I'm almost at the point that I'm going tp buy another phone and leave htc forever
I really want this phone to work. It worked before actually...It might be when I updated with the Official Update 1.37.401.3 or exactly a few days after that my problems appeared.
REALLY NEED YOUR HELP XDA-PEOPLE!
Have you tried connecting it while it's in bootloader mode? If all you want to do is flash the ROM that's the best option.
One question, why did you "upgrade" to the 1.37 ROM? Isn't that what came on the device?
Open active sync (it allready might e open as u tried to connect) and go to menu (on the right) select connections and see if u have use usb connection enabled.

Yes it is enabled.
Windows XP uses Active sync V.4.5.0
Windows Vista uses Windows Mobility center:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/mobility-center.aspx
First check your advanced energy-settings (control panel, system)
To make sure put everything on 10 minutes, as these settings will reset as soon as your new (and faster 1.93) rom is installed.
Connect your phone and make sure you select the sync option, not the external disc option. Make a backup.
Then use an unsigned hard-spl if you have firmware 1.37 or higher. (signed won't work) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
When finished install the rom you like.
I Resolved It!
I managed to flash my phone with the new swedish official rom.
So I can connect now.
Thanx for helping me.
The problem seemed to be in Windows Vista...it wouldn't allow my HTC to keep beeing connected for too long
I resolved the problem on my other computer.
And I love the speed of the new rom by the way ...It gets better and better all the time.
Thanx again XDA Developers.

Good luck with your phone

Cant Flash / Hard SPL via USB....any ideas?

Some some strange reason if I try and hard spl / flash via usb method Windowds Mobile Device centre drops out half way through the process (when phone goes into boot screen) and the install fails because the phone is no longer sync'd with the PC....
I have never had this issue before....which is why it is puzzling me..
I get an error message on the PC saying: "Error [206]: Connection"
PC is running Win 7, 64bit if that makes any difference...
p.s do I need to hard spl each time I install a rom? I kind of do it now out of habbit......

Windows 7 x64 is the problem, you need hacked drivers.
update the drivers of your phone with the ones attached here.
You don't have to do HardSPL every time, only one time is enough.

Since when do you need a hacked driver to flash Xperia X1 using Windows 7 64 bit?
I've been flashing using my PC which is on Windows 7 64 bit, never have I used hacked drivers.

Thanks for the reply.
I have unzipped the folder, but am unsure what I have to do with the files....
Sorry for being such a n00b....
I have a Windows 7 x64 PC and got no problem flashing different ROM's on this thread. As what the others have said, you only need to HardSPL your phone once and then you can flash any ROM you want. You don't need any drivers as I have not installed any on my PC. Maybe your phone's battery is below50% during the time of flashing? If that's a no go for you, why don't you try flashing using the SD Card method?

Important! My rhodium crashed during flashing

I synchronize my phone using ActiveSync. After flashing wizzard my rhodium wanted a driver. I didnt find it and now I'm standing in the tricolor.
Somebody help me please what to do !!!!! :-(
In the tricolour screen (the bootloader), does it say "USB" at the bottom ? If so, you should still be able to flash it ok. Though if there is a missing driver on your PC, it might just come up with an error and not be able to flash it. You could still try flashing from SD card in that case.
I did a soft reset and my old ROM was boot. Driver is missing. I have to install it. Thx

if you want to obtain the missing driver, you shouldve left the phone on the tri colour screen, and now this is my question, what OS are running? Win7 or XP? if youre on Win7 its going to search for the drivers on the internet and it should take 5 mins, as stated above if the drivers are installed it should say USB on the bottom and should be ready to be flashed, this happens to me once in a while when i flash a ROM, i just leave it on that screen and let the computer do the work and sometimes the RUU which is the program u use to flash a ROM will have an error, thats fine, just re run the RUU and should be fine from there
My OS is win XP, but this computer is adjusted using XP lite. One of important component is removed (maybe drivers support... idk). I did not know that I have these problems during the flashing on this computer.

If you have the ActiveSync drivers it should be automatic. If you were able to Sync with ActiveSync, you can flash. Just let it install the drivers by itself or download ActiveSync again and install and try again.
or flash from memory card.... no need for drivers.

Copy RHODIMG.NBH (you can take from any Rom, sometimes it has another name, rename it rhodimg.nbh) to your SD card using a card reader form your computer
Put it in your phone than start. It will ask you to push start button to begin flashing.
After flash restart phone with red button under battery cover

Have you tried doing a Windows update while the phone is hooked up to your computer? Your computer probably just doesn't recognize the phone. I had that problem when I did my first flash. Windows update just found the drivers and installed them and I was good to go.
I think what he was trying to say is that he used N-Lite to strip down his XP install and removed some critical driver or possibly PNP pieces..

I understood that but if ActiveSync works, then flashing should work as they are the same driver. Probably needs even less components than ActiveSync.

[HELP]Zune recognize,pc does not,even in bootloader,please help with usb3 drivers :)

I got the same as you on my work laptop but not on my home one, both have win7 64bits. Only difference between the 2 is that I've upgraded my work laptop to Win7 SP1 which just came out.
So my question is, have you also upgraded to win7 sp1? I think it might be the problem, I'm anyway planning a clean install of my work laptop this week-end with SP1 and will post the results afterwards to see if it's related to that upgrade.

So, after reinstalling my laptop (win7SP1- 64 bits) I wasn't still able to flash anything, and I saw that by going to the bootloader, Windows was trying to load qualcomm cdma drivers. And it popped out into my mind, I had removed WMDC, thinking I wouldn't need it anymore.
So by reinstalling WDMC (windows mobile device center), it installed again the needed drivers for the pone to be recognised into the bootloader, and voilĂ , working again.
Hope this will help you out too.

Hi,
If you have eSata connection you have USB2. I have a DELL with USB3 as well, so USB3 doesn't work but by eSata everything works fine.
