Did i brick it ?

OK i think i ****ed up bigtime.
I was on HSPL, and at first i flashed a stock rom.
After that i flashed DUtty's rom and it went ok.
It booted up with green screen problem and loads of locks and really really slow. After that i tried to use uspl but i was getting connection problems. After that i thought i should go to 1.15 stock spl and so i flashed that one, in order to use uspl. But the problems still persist, and now i cant revert back to a previous cooked rom.
Any suggestions ?

Use Manually Bootloader
Go back to stock spl, first flash stock rom, use sspl manual turn olinex and flash stock spl and then u can hspl again.
Hope it solves the prob. Just take a look at my Grafik Problem thread!

Hi,
Why, Windows 7 has the same drivers like Vista???
Can You express more crearly?

i flashed on Win 7 (build 7077)... i had to roll back the HTC USB Sync driver as explained in many threads about flashing the latest HD ROM v 1.56. i think some of our fellow members are not following all the steps to flash with the new ROM/SPL.

A message to all flashers:
Read the instructions thorougly. If you cannot say that you understand 100 % of what the instructions tells you, read them again or do some research.
After following these steps you will almost certainly have a much better experience with custom ROMs.

i tried reverting the drivers but it is simply not working. i am thorough and i do read the details.

I had no problems with the drivers. I just followed the correct procedures mentioned in the wiki and post#6 of Duttys v2.8 rom
Have you tried rebooting pc afterwards and pressing F8 as per the instructions to help load them?

i flash on windows 7 7068 almost 10+ times already with no issue , using custom ruu.

Same here. Use Windows 7 (7068) as my only OS and I've been flashing 20+ roms without any problems.

The instructions for all the different flashing methods are a big mess if you ask me.
There is no red thread, they all just blend together in a big mess and leave out answeres to simple questions that would clearify stuff for newbies.
The more i read the long pages of instructions the more confused i get.

I agree, they can be confusing, but once you have mastered it, you'll wonder what the problem was!
What exactly are you confused with? What steps have you taken? Where are you now in the process?

Don't worry about the phone it will be ok.
The steps are as follow:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash a stockrom
3). Flash USPL 2.5
4). With USPL on your phone flash to Dutty
To revert back to previous roms:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash your previous rom.
Grtz,
Leo

Im fine, thanx, I have flashed my phone twice without big problems.
But the second time I got really confused when i tried to really understand it and followed the instructions step by step, it just sent me in a loop between all the different pages.
A simple question and a simple answere in the ROM-thread solved my confusion then, and now I just ignore the ramblings in the instruction pages.

I have a question about this. As my HD was replaced (warranty) I don't know which version I have (O2 or HTC). My first HD was a O2 branded with 1.14.207 ROM, the replaced one (from the same supplier) came with the 1.14.407 ROM which is the official German HTC ROM. I've just tried to download the newly released ROM by HTC, but the site states that the new ROM is not available for my device (but I could at least register the device). Could be that this is because it's an O2 device or probably because the new ROM wasn't yet released in German?
So is it really important to flash exactly the stock ROM (as the CID has to fit) or is it okay - like Laurentius said - to flash any stock ROM? Don't wanna brick my device when upgrading to 1.54/1.56...btw...why one has to go to a stock ROM when upgrading to 1.5x afterwards? Is there a difference when upgrading from 1.14 to 1.5x instead of 1.19 to 1.5x? I didn't get it yet...
Thanks in advance,

Any stock rom should do it as Laurentius said

A lot of confusion has come about from these newer cooked 1.56 roms so I wrote a guide. If you still have confusion please read the guide in my signature
Windows 7 is also most definitely not an issue. Several of us here are using it successfully.

Green Fuzzy Screen/Stuck Airplane Mode & Can't Recover

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)

Rom Updated has gone wrong please help

I used Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex 1.56 then i used
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_TUR_1.56.468.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
to change it to turkish.
It seem to all go well but,
Now when i start the phone the colors are all wrong as if it is running @ a very low resolution.
I have attaced a few pictures to show the situation.
Also if you look @ the last picture you can see that when i power off then power back on the resolution is correct but the screen seems
very unresponsive.
I have tried to Restore_Stock_SPL_113 but not actually sure if it was the same one.
I have also tried USPL GUI v 2.5 (no difference)
I have tried HD_WM65__V63__B23053COM3__D091809
And i have finally tried Miri_WM65_23017_Premium_Manila_2.5_REV7.1
I dont no what else to do i have searched and read various posts regarding what i actually wanted to do and how to retify this problem but i cant find a solution.
If anyone has any answers i would really appriciate it.
If the answer has been looking me in the face and i have miss it im sorry.
Thanks.

just install the newest stock rom from the htc website and then the rom of your choice.
then the colors will look normal again

It looks like your spl is wrong for the rom, the colour problem is typical of this situation.
You mention that you tried hspl - 1.56.Olinex. Are you sure it installed successfully? If you go into bootloader mode, does it show 1.56.Olinex on screen? Any one of the roms you mention should work perfectly with 1.56. Please take any other queries to the Dummies Guide thread as the mods will close this one down.

As above, it looks like your SPL is incorrect and HSPL 1.56 has not been successful. Check your SPL in bootloader and post further queries in the dummies guide thread.

Some problems after I have flashed

Hi!
Today I've decided, after many reads to update my HTC Touch HD to a cooked ROM.
So I've followed this procedure and all was ok:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3625567&postcount=272
I choosed the EnergyRom Leo Standard M2.5.
So first thing, my screen is blue since the start, but it became ok if I just turn off and up the screen.
Second problem, after 1-2 minute of use, the screen doesn't respond anymore.
I said ok, and I tried another rom, the XannyTechROM Grid Leo, and same problems! What is wrong?
Can you help me?
Thank you!

Your problem is classic for not having the correct SPL. You need to flash 1.56 or greater. Please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377, and in the future post all questions there. Good luck!

Okay, so if I understand good, I must use HSPL instead of USPL?

You can also flash an official ROM with 1.56SPL and use USPL.

If I want to update to one in french, I absolutely need to use this one:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_FRA_1.56.406.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe?
Because the download is very slow :S

I just finish to download and install the previous ROM, but it's written now SPL-1.54 in the boot loader, will it be enough?

Before flashing any rom based on 1.56+ you need to have either SPL 1.56.Olinex (using HSPL) or SPL v 1.15.USPL (Using USPL)
All this info can be found in dummies guide thread. No need for another.

Another scream for help...

Hi,
I have my HD from march and being interested in WM6.5 and disappointed by HTC because they do not release an upgrade I decided to try some cooked roms.
I used USPL so that I can keep my original SPL.
I tried:
* Duttys WM6.5 Sense 2.1 Holy Grail
* Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail
* Topix HD
From the first boot I have noisy screen image with 4 colours or something .... but after entering in sleep mode and restore it recovers to normal "true color" until I reset the device. I can live with that but the real issue is that I cannot start my phone using the original radio neither with the latest versions I found for HTC HD. No error there, it simply stays off after I confirm that I want to enable the phone.
Also the device is hanging for very long time now and then and I have exactly the same problem/behaviour with all the above roms. I tried some fixes found in the forum but nothing works and I did not found anybody with the same weird behaviour.
I wand to recover my stock firmware but I found that even I brought mine from Romania it has a Czech S/N and HTC does not provide a stock ROM for this "v1.56.402 - Czech republic - not supported".
What can I do. do you guys know if I can get the original firmware from somewhere?
Thanks.

Obviously you havent bothered to read anything let alone the guidelines of starting new threads.
The answers are in the forum I suggest you take time to read and start by reading the forum guidelines and the sticky threads.
If you dont understand what you're doing then stick to a stock ROM until you do or you might brick your phone.

You say that you used uspl. Are you sure that it was successful as the symptoms you describe are typical when you have the incorrect spl for the rom you are using. After using uspl, what spl is showing in the bootloader screen?
Follow the steps in the Dummies Guide to Flashing and your problems should be sorted out.
If you still have further questions, post them in that thread as the mods will close this one as soon as they come across it (as explained by homer285)

you're ok as long as you can still go to bootloader mode, then go back to the uspl 2.5 guide here, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
format your sd card using fat32 (full format) (if you are a frequent flasher I suggest you get a small capacity sd card – 1Gb - and devote this only for flashing)
rename the RUU_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and pair this with ROMUpdateUtility -(application file) OR BlackstoneRUUWrapper (whichever the ROM cook presents) copy these TWO files in your formatted sd card.
then using Digital Outcast's USPL GUI: look here

flash the ROM.
I hope I make the above clear to you.

suggestion: Read the howtos!
If I was you I would do like this:
- flash hspl.
- flash latest radio from memorystick
- flash any 23xxx-rom from memstick (miri or phamQ can I recommend).
Cant understand why you are doing it the complicated way... there are ways to recover to original-spl if needed. This is the easyest way to flash 6.5 and it is almost fail-safe.
good luck!

dont add to the confusion, he is already using USPL, the SAFEST METHOD as stated by Dutty Throy, he even advocates this in all of his cooked ROMs
all he needs to do is to redo the steps again as i posted above.

Sorry for my panic post
Yes, after 8 hours of trying stuff I did not read post guide-lines but I searched all the internet and xda forums, tried all the dumb fixes for my weird behaviours without any success.
I am sure that my original rom it is not available and I call for help from people that have Czech S/N English version to extract the flash and the radio if it is no so complicated or if they have it as backup.
Actually I read every "flashing for dummies" posts and only when I thought I got everything I started to flash it.
I used the latest 2.5 USPL, the GUI one and also the command line from the cmd prompt so I saw all the output lines and there was no error at all. It is clear that the device was successfully flashed and I respected all the version requirements stated in description of the packages. The problem comes from some sort of incompatibility. The versions at boot is the right one.
The only wrong thing I did was after seeing USPL 2.5 coloured boot loader I go on with the tutorial which said to read on screen RUU instructions which said to connect with activesync and I did as they said and restart the device, cradle and continue flashing in which case the original SPL started and I got a flashing error on the desktop client but after restarting the device everything run normally with the stock firmware and I think I have a good understanding on how it work and I can say that that error does not hurt a bit.
I finally succeed, in the morning, to flash 6.1 vanilla topaz and almost everything works except the GPS module and I am investigating this issue.
It is clear that you cannot help me an my device issue related to WM6.5 roms are unique and I will investigate this on my own.
Sorry to everybody, again, for my wrong located post and have a nice day.
