Hi, sorry if i open a new thread for problem soving, but i can´t find any solution for it and i really looked into the Dummies Guide! My SPL is 1.54 at the moment and i tried to put the 1.56 three times today, but it always gives me an "Update Error".
I go into the bootloader with the colors, and execute the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and follow it as needed. When it goes to the update Bar, maybe 30 seconds later it gives an Update Error on my computer (i think 262) and i have to take out the battery fom the HD. Then i can use the phone as usually, without problem. But how can i get the HSPL on it? AV is deactivated, sync isn´t lost. I seen somewhere anything about a protection in the forum, but i don´t remember where it was and in the dummies Guide it doesn´t say something about this.
The moderators at any time can close and delete my thread, if this problem was posted before, but as the forum is so big, i really couldn´t find anything.
Thanks

I guess you did not read the dummies guide carefully. Anyways,
1. Copy a file (Attached) to your SD card using your computer.
2. Go to that file in from your phone's file browser and run it,
3. This action would take you to the bootloader screen & would say SPL Version 1.07.Olinex.
4. Now attach your USB to the Phone. At the bottom of the screen you should see USB after a while (2-4 Sec).
5. Now Drag the ***.nbh file to the wrapper file (1.56 Olinex) from your Computer and your update process should start.
6. After sucessfully done this, Hard reset your phone (Twice Recomended)
Hope this helps.
If your problem is solved please acknowldege (Moderator please close this thread)
No need to panic, just follow tausifs advice and if you still cannot get it working, post your query in Dummies guide thread and myself or somebody else will assist you at their earliest convienience.
No need for another thread. Thread closed

Split the thread from the NBH Extract thread.
Hi there!
First off all thanks for the great help and all the hard work you all doing!
Keep on going!
I have problem extracting my "RUU_signed.nbh" file using the the "NBHextract" tool. The "nbh" file I need is from the:
"RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom.
I'm trying to extract with the CMD, or trying to drag & drop the "RUU_signed.nbh" onto the "NBHextract", its says in the CMD: extracting. Bat in fact, noting happens! There only the same 2 file in the folder and nothing else.
Can any one help?
Maybe some of you can tray to extract the file and upload the result to www.rapidshare.com or somewhere else?
I'm using desktop with XP PRO English.
Please! I'm going crazy!

I'm lost sorry
Have you downloaded the exe and need the NBH File? If so Install WinRAR, right click the exe and click Extract...
If you have the NBH file, then I suggest you re-try the steps you quoted again. Let me know if there are any errors on any steps.

Well, I did those steps before, bat have no result. Don't see any error at the CMD. only show me the extract progress and at the end (after 2 min), there are no result! Only the same 2 file I started the progress. (RUU_signed.nbh + NBHextract tool)
I have the NBH and need to extract it... So I can continue to step 6 at these guide: Reverting back to the AT&T or HTC ROM and SPL for Warranty or return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568
Can any one trey to extract the RUU_signed.nbh from
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88 .07_1.27.12.11_Ship" Rom for me and upload the result?
Thanks in advanced!
Ok, update! I try to extract this in vista by drag & drop, and it worked!!! Bizarre...; and I got 5 file from the extract. The CMD still didn't work in the vista though...
Bat now i'm confused, because I read on other thread that I need to do Hard SPL first so I don't brick my TyTn 2 device... and in the guide:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568),
its says I don't need to do Hard SPL. So what should I do?
let me tell you the reason I want to flash the SPL: I install Hebrew support pack that I download from the net and it work ok till I start to notice a rapidly massage of low memory (I didn't install nothing else!), bat the most reason fact that I want to flesh the SPL is because in addition of that message, the cracked Hebrew pack, showing me the logo of the company that made the pack; every time I restart the device, just before the HTC welcome logo and its showing for at lest 30 sec!!! Every soft reset!! So I try to uninstal that pack and its still showing every restart! Even, try to up grade to WM6.1, and still its there!!!! So I start to read some thread and think I need that spl flash so I can get rid of that "sticky" logo that slow my device and steal my memory!!
Can any one now something like that issue, and what shold I do in order to uninstall that long logo?

OK I see what your getting at... Some facts first...
1. The guide you posted a Link to advises how to restore the Stock SPL and ROM if you have Hard SPL and a custom ROM. It does not mention Hard SPL for the simple fact that it is a guide on how to remove it (assumes you have it otherwise you wouldn't be reading the guide).
2. The SPL is the bootloader similar (in ways) to your PC's BIOS. I am pretty certain it has not been comprimised.
Firstly we need to know which splash was changed. There are 3 possible splashes that could have been changed. Have a look at this guide by -888- on upgrading you splash.
It is most likley to be one (or both) of the last two. Changing the first one requires Hard SPL and Flashing.
Rather than fixing the splash screens, I'd do a Hard Reset that will remove everything that was not part of your original OS ROM image.
If it is still there after that, I'd flash HardSPL and then flash a new Splash screen.
And, finally , this forum does not support cracked software, I will help you remove it however, if you promise to pay for it in the future

First off all, thanks for the help. I appreciate it!
I must mention that I buy the original version in advanced. I just was curious to check the net version and it turns out that it's not so good... to such an extent that I ruin me Kaiser...
now let me be more specific with me problem because i m not sure I explain the problem clearly and I don't want to start a progress that I don't know how to do....
So, like I say, after I finish the install of the language pack, I had to clear storage in order to crack the license. But since that, every restart, appear the logo of the software company for 30 sec!!! Every restart!!!! Its make me crazy!!!! (The logo appear just before the HTC logo load. (It's appear with the rom and the radio version = R.G.D). But this is not the main problem!! The most important problem is that since the install, its keep say me that I'm run out of memory, and I m even didn't install nothing!!! This is bad!
So off Corse I'm try to do hard reset and even try to upgrade to WM6.1, but the cursed logo is still there!!!!
Now, after I try to explain the problem, I want to know if the solution you recommended may solve the logo problem and more important the memory "leak"....
What I basically want is to bring me Kaiser to its original status like from "out of the box"... because it's only 2 week old!!!!!
I'm hope you understand me problem.
Thanks you in advanced!

Do you have a storage card? I wonder if it flashed off the storage card? Anyhow, let's get busy...
Firstly remove anything you want to keep off the card and then format it.
Then flash the Hard SPL using the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 (Second set of instructions in post #2).
Once, you have completed the flash, enter the bootloader before Windows Mobile loads.
Then, when you are in the bootloader flash a New ROM and Radio.
Hopefully that will remove everything that shouldn't be there.
Also, moving out of pof's thread. To a new one

Thank you in advanced!
Anyone can please help?
Hi, sorry for the delay.
The instructions in my last post should get you back up and running. You'll have have to read up on the wiki and the ROM Development stickies for more help.
I am at work now, and am pressed for time at the moment, have a look on #xda-devs chanel on FreeNode after 8-9PM (GMT) for me. I'll be able to chat then. (I am also on MSN, but I don't use it at home that often. I'll try and make an effort over the next few days.)

Hello!
In my previous post i asked for the best ROM for the X1, ive already downloaded the image file for a ROM called "EnergyROM_KOVSKY_20090805_Standard".
Now i just want to know how to Apply it to the phone.
What do i need to change in the phone before installing the ROM?
Is it even possible to change ROM in a prototype?
I also have problems updating my ROM (when i tried it before)...RUU gives me error code 262.
AS you may notice, im really retarded when it comes to this, but hopefully i will learn sometime.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.
Rom-Version: 1.02.936.3
Rom-Date: 08/29/08
Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Clock: 528 MHZ
RAM-Size: 256 MB
Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
And please: Dont redirect me to some multi thread that is named "How to flash your phone) Cause ive already tried it, but i dont understand **** there
If someone would be kind enough to give me a step by step walkthrough on how i do to upgrade just that ROM that ive downloaded. And what other programs i need to be able to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance!

You need to check in the bootloader(tri-colored screen) what your spl is... In order to flash a custom rom it will need to say this SPL-0.72.01OliNex....if it does not say this then you need to hardspl the phone...if you follow the instructions it is easy. Once this is done then you will need this....copy the ROM you have downloaded into the CustomRUU folder and execute the file. If this does not work....you will need to format your memory card(Fat32) and follow these instructions, plus there is a video tutorial regarding all the procedures you need....the instructions are as basic as one can get.
Good luck.
Regards,
WC

There's a list of error messages here somewhere. Maybe you can find it here. I think the answer is here. It sais just try again after turning off and turning it back on again
btw, being rude to other users isn't going to help you get your questions answered any faster. Updating roms isn't that hard anymore, but you need to be carefull and know what you're doing. If you don't understand how flashing works and what you need to do for that, you can read the stickies in this rom section. I think it's explained very clearly and step by step lots of times.
edit: looking at all your posts, it seems you've asked the same about three times, and most things kan be found easily by google or the xda forum search. Maybe try a bit harder before asking here?
if you don't like criticism, just ignore my post; everybody has to learn to work with windows mobile, but the only way is to try a lot yourself, search, try some more, search again, then ask and try some of the answers given. Don't get agitated when not everyone is giving you the right answer in clear steps, most of the users are trying to explain as good as they can with the information provided.
the guides are pretty thorough...
if you read them its clear enough...
(assuming you want to use non official Sony roms - you need to flash your hardspl so you wont get errors... (think this is where you're stuck)...
download a hardspl and flash it via activesync)
Then
copy the rom into your sd card root directoy...
rename it to kovsimg.nbh
hit the reboot switch while holding down power and the down vol button to start the update process
this is the easiest way...
but as above, if you want shortcuts for everything and dont read the instuctions clear you MAY END UP BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

I'ts a difference in writing a post with no meaning and a post like you just did.
Example: You start a new thread, no matter what it's about. There are two guys responding.
One guy is giving you this as a answer: Lol, thats kinda noobish that you dont know how to use your phone.
The second guy answers just like you did, you gave me information and links on where and what to search for. But still points out that theres many "obvious" stuff that im asking for.
Big difference.
Back to topic. I've already figured out how to do all, i have all the files that i need.
The problem is that when i try and update the SPL to 1.00.X1 instead of thje other 1.02.Olinex (or what its called) I always get a connetion error 262.
Ive read the links that you gave me before, and it says that you need to either softreset, change usb port or reboot your computer. Guys in another thread gives the same instructions.
Still no success.
So since i've done my searching, done the exact procedure that you should do. And it's still not working. Is that still something just "obvious" to ask for?
And i apologize if i hasn't been clear enough in this thread that the phone im using is a proto. And i still haven't been confirmed by some other proto user that this method is acctually working.
I'm thankfull for all the (helpfull) responses i get. And im trying them all.
If something else comes up i will post it in this thread. No matter if its obvious or not.
Have a nice day everyone!
Looks like there's a connection error when your phone reboots to go into tri-color boot menu.
Google for USB Mass storage device, download the driver and install it and then try again.
Of course you have to find the right driver for your OS.

haha, damn, thats obvious, that i didnt think of that before. hehe, thank you!
Btw, if the phone gets into the tricolor menu, and the progressbar shows up (but still stuck at 0%) can it still be because the driver?
Thanks
if its stuck at 0% it means you're not flashing a compatible rom...
obviously you havent flashed the spl...
flash a OFFICIAL sony rom first... if you still have issues at least you know its either the 'prototype' hardware
or your PC...
which i'd suggest try flashing from another PC...

Oh, im sorry if i didnt expressed myself good enough.
When im using X1_HardSPL i get the 284 update error.
When in using the custom RUU i get the 262 error.
So i guess the X1_HardSPL application is to change SPL?
If i cant seem to change SPL i wont be able to change rom either. Correct?
Since i have the SPL that was shipped with the phone, can i still upgrade from R1A to R3A without changing SPL?
Have you disabled any of your firewall and anti virus programs when you try using the software?
I previously always had to disable my zonealarm firewall before I could uset he spl software....
Yes I've done.
yes if you have the stock SPL you can upgrade from R1a to R3a with the standard SE update utility.
which can be downloaded at the SE site under support.

The Phone is still a Proto.....
Therefor not accepted by SEUS
Try flashing the official Sony Ericsson ROMs first. No need to Hard-spl for those.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

And if you try to flash via ActiveSync with CustomRUU? That worked most of the times with my X1. Oh wait, that got you the error 262.
In one of your other threads someone says (or you quoted) that one of the advantages of a proto was that there's no security check, which means it might not even be necessary to use HardSPL first.
I've had error 262 a few times; just try to flash again, maybe from another computer if that's possible. You can also try to flash another rom first.
Which roms have you tried flashing? Have you tried with a freshly formatted sd-card smaller than 2 gb (although I think that won't have any effect); you can also try renaming kovsimg.nbh with all small letters, all capitals or the way you just spelled it. It might be important.
offtopic: I get your point on the reactions you get when opening new threads. Everything is simple when you now where to look or if you've done it before, but it can be very hard to find the answer when there's so much info to choose from.
That said: a topic title of something like "having trouble flashig a custom rom to prototype" sounds a bit more serious then "need massive help" with a lot of exclamation marks. That might set people off on the wrong foot.
Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Been trying to instal Dutty's wm6.5 R12 rom on my touch hd but whatever I try, it just gets stuck at the screen with the bar and stay at 0%.
I have searched the forum and tried almost everything I could find. SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work.
Anyone have any ideas for a noob?
i doubt if you can find someone who can guide you step by step, i suggest you study more, i was like you before, but i just persevered, unti i was confident enough to flash my first cooked ROM. CAUSENOT ALL BLACKBONE, have the same default factory settings, different stock ROM versions and different spl.it does require time and patience, but in the end this will al l payback.

yeah, this realy helps. Why do people bother to reply if they have no awnser.
I mean I have read those guides on the forum and been busy for a week on it now. I know what spl version I have and which version of hard spl i would need and so on. But it just will not open up.
So if there is someone out there that wouldn't mind HELPING me I would realy apreciate it. But just telling me to search better is no help at all. I have searched with all terms I know but haven't found the right soulution by myself. That is why I ask for HELP, not for smart asses.

look, no one is being a smart ass here. in addition, your description of the the steps you've followed are very vague. my friend, we see 5-10 posts like this every day and in every case, the OP has missed/skipped one or two steps in the flashing process. simply stated, the guides WILL help you flash your device. if as you stated, "SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work you have to complete this task first. you HAVE to update your SPL before you can flash Dutty's ROM. put your device in bootloader mode and if IT DOES NOT display the following, you will not be able to flash a ROM:
BLAC120 (or BLAC110) 32M
SPL-1.56.01 OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v 6
you HAVE to complete this step before you can flash any WM 6.5 ROM. read the guides, make your own easy-to-understand-checklist and follow it to confirm you've completed ALL the steps. be patient and you'll succeed. as a reference, you can use the links in my signature to help you with the process. good luck.
Hi,
I not sure you read the Dummies guide yet.
[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Try to follow this step. Copy the file to phone and boot from there. then u should be able to do so.
Hi guys and girls,
thanks for trying to help. I do understand that people like me who are new to flashing a cooked rom will ask many silly questions. I'll try and formulate better which steps I have done.
I noticed on my bootloader screen that I have spl-1.54.0000. I therefor downloaded the file SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and transfered the exe file to my phone memory. I then started it on my phone. It starts the bootloader screen and tells me:
BLAC100 MFG 32M SS-BC
1.07.0liNex XA
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
From hereon I have tried to run USPL but it tells me it cannot connect due to faulty USB drivers which I have updated with the supplied drivers as indicated. Even with a different cable and a different USB port, USPL will not connect.
I have also tried to run the RUU HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe but it then starts the screen with the percentage bar and gets stuck. After a few minutes it comes with either error 260 or 262 wicht is an update failure I have read. Just the fix to start over again and reset your systems didn't do anything for me.
Since I know that poeple are able to use this rom I am defenite that it is by my own shortcommings that I can't seem to do it. But after having tried a lot, I can not see what I am doing wrong anymore.
Hope this is a better explenation and thanks sofar already.
Ps: I have tried both USPL3 and USPL5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3. I just can't seem to connect with USPL.
If you run win7 (and vista) x64 especially, loading unsigned drivers for usb doesnt work by default, this might be your problem.
You could try the following, boot you pc and just after the bios is loaded press F8 (or just keep pressing it multiple times) and a menu will appear which includes: "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" try this, and after boot you should be able to make the usb drivers work, so reinstall them and try uspl (dont forget to not allow usb connections in windows mobile device center)
Hope this helps, if not, move along

I take exception to this. No need to be a smart a**. Obviously jigners was only trying to help, like others before.
If your having difficulty your queries should be directed to the dummies guide thread where people like myself as well as other expereienced users will be more than happy to help you. No need to create a new thread for queries that have been asked umpteen times before.

I want to say thanks first for the help so far.
So I finally managed to hardspl but that was it unfortunatly.
Your dummies guide is quite good, but for someone not technical at all and normally not into handy programming etc???
HSPL3 is OK I have it.
As of HSPL4 I am stuck: I ran the the blackstone rapper with the nbh file, also ok
I do the hard reset and than I still have my old SFR etc on the phone (I have also the problem with the colours, but that is the least problem at the time)
I than tried to flash an other rom (Miri) and there I get error 240 (file open)
So I thought I do the hardreset again (bootloader showed than my old version, do not ask me why) I did everything again and I am stuck again.
After two days it starts being quite frustrating I must admit but i stay full of hope for your help
Thanks again

As I told you yesterday, please post your questions in the correct place. You have obviously read the Dummies Guide, so please post your question in that thread and do not start your third new thread. This thread will be closed as soon as the moderators find it.
If you have the colour problem your hspl was obviously not successful, are you sure that you did not try uspl, which may explain why your old spl is back?. In bootloader mode what spl is showing? It needs to show 1.56.Olinex (see picture)
ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
When this error message appears, check whether the downloaded .nbh image is placed in the same directory as the RUUWrapper. If, for some unknown reason, you find that the ROM image is not located in the RUU folder, you have to download the RUU and retry again. Check that the contents of the folder is a CustomRUU.exe file and an .nbh file.

If you post in the right place I'll try my best to talk you through the process, it's really not that difficult.
Please post your query within Dummies guide thread and myself or someone else will answer your query.
Please try and abide by forum rules in future. No need for new thread. This has now been your 3rd unnecessary thread. Consider this your first and last warning. Failure to comply with forum rules will result in a temporary ban!!

Hi vtonyv!
Carefully read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
The first item on the check list is this file that you need to unlock your phone for flashing custom ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=232404&d=1254155235
The second item in the checklist states that the phone must be connected via active sync or Center for windows mobile in order to unlock you rphone.
You must do this otherwise you will get a error message like the one you described.
So, take your time and read the WHOLE first thread in the top of my post, and and after that go look around this forum for a nice ROM to try.
I recomend any of NRGZ28 ROMs. They show you what your phone should have been when you bought it.
The easiest way to flash your Topaz is to use the SD-card flashing method.
Please look in this excellent guide how to flash your phone!:

Good luck and just take it slow!!
