I have read everything I can find and still no answer.
I am trying to hardspl my tmousa rhodium. I've been at flashing for over a year with my kaiser, so I am not a noob.
I activesync the phone, I download the hardspl, extract to an empty folder and when I try to run it doesn't do anything. It seems to me like the program either fails to load completely or self terminates.
Rebooted both pc and phone, made sure drivers and wmdc are up to date, and still nothing. I am running Rockersteam windows 7 64 bit (7100). Anyone else have this problem

Your best bet would be to post this question in the HardSPL thread. The users in that thread have been very helpful to other users experiencing issues flashing HardSPL.

When I run the wizard update for rom or radio or anything it says one of two things on my pc, 1. that there is a connection error and or 2. That the program needs to close because it says so. Im sure there is a simple fix to this issue but i just dont know it.
Thanks
I think I know why
After reading through the posts I discovered why I am having so much trouble. Reason being last week I upgraded to Vista, which would explain alot.
Anyone know a way arround this problem?

Downgrade to XP...
There are lots of issues with the rom updater and Vista. Unfortunately until a new version of the rom update utility comes out (or some other new method) its going to be an issue.
Not only RUU, WMDC itself sometimes get problems in Vista.
When I connect the Wizard to PC, sometimes WMDC does not show up, and the PPC is not present in My Computer, and you will see a yello exclamation in device manager!
The only thing I can do is to remove the device complete from device manager and let it detects again, then I can use it again for several times.
Has anyone found a way to upgrade to any WM6 ROMs on Windows Vista? I'm sorta at my wits end here!
In the Wizard Upgrading forum there is a thread "Upgrading your phone on Windows Vista". The driver instructions (which are really well written) work perfectly, but the RUU version fails with an "out of date" error.
There have been a number of other RUU versions suggested, but they all crash on Vista.
Shelltool works on Vista only about 25% of the time. Usually it just starts the flash process and hangs indefinitely. I was able to successfully flash XM6r4, but since then nothing else I've tried has worked. I did go back to the latest AT&T ROM afterwards, but haven't been able to get back to WM6 since. One of the things I tried was extracting the RUU from Cingular's update, but that one didn't work either, which confuses me even more!
All of the RUU Wrapper versions I've used to flash my Hermes work great on Vista, yet none of the RUU versions seem to be able to do so on my G4 Wizard (Cingular 8125).
Please, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate them! I've searched and searched through the forums for different methods and versions, but have come up empty handed.
FWIW, I don't have access to an XP machine, and dual booting is not an option for me.
Thanks!
Dual Boot!
I just ended up dual booting XP, I noticed you said it was not an option, but did you know you can do it without reformatting through computer management in Vista?

Yep! Unfortunately that's not an option either. It's a matter of resources. I'm stuck with Vista, on which, I should point out, I can upgrade my Hermes successfully 100% of the time!
The RUU versions used to flash .nbh format ROMs to my Hermes all work, yet the older versions which take the .nbf format ROMs used by the Wizard don't!
There's got to be some solution. Using Shelltool usually works, but that only flashes the OS, not the ExtROM, splash screen, etc, so it's really only part of the solution.
Hmm i myself had some problems with flashing using Windows Vista. here are some observations i had
1) i first flashed using the origional tmobile rom (3.08 spl/ipl with 2.69 radio) i flashed it without doing anything special besides putting it in bootloader mode
2) next when i tried flashing it with a cooked rom it wouldnt work ( again i just tried to flash from bootloader mode without following any of the instructions givin in the Upgrading with Windows Vista thread)i found the RUUupdater version to be 2.0?? ( im sorry i forget the exact version numbers)
3) On checking the RUUupdater of the Tmobile that worked i found it to be 2.5???( again i forget teh exact version but suffice it to say it was newer)
4) i copyed the cooked rom nbk files to the Tmobile origional rom folder ( the one that worked on updating) but unfortunatly it wouldnt work
5) i then went to the thread and downloaded the drivers and installed them as the instructions said i should
6) i then downloaded the VistaRUU file they had there and then copyed the nbk files to that folder and VIOLA i flashed it and it worked like a charm ( again i flashed in bootloader mode)
This was just my experiance hopefully someone can figure out what i did right and why it worked for me and hopefully make it work for everyone else having problems
I thought there was a thread somewhere here about how to use Vista...if I remember, it may have even been stickied.
There was a stiki but it seems to have been unstikied and has since gone outta sight
Was this the thread??
It is still stickied if it is the thread.
I don't use Vista, so I haven't really read through it.

What do you mean by putting the phone in bootloader mode first? In my experience, the phone has to be booted fully in order for the RUUs to work. Is there a way to get it to recognize the phone if it's already in bootloader mode?
If I put the phone in bootloader mode and then run RUU, the RUU just comes back and says it can't talk to the phone.
FWIW, I did the same as you, as far as flashing the original (Cingular) ROM and trying to use the RUU that came with that update. It seems that those RUUs won't work with any other ROMs.
Thanks for any help!

Yep, that's the one! Been through it. As I mentioned above, the driver instructions in that thread are required when using Vista, but the RUU doesn't work.
Other than docnas here, everyone else has had the same problem as me. The Vista RUU comes back and complains that it's out of date.
I'd like to figure out what docnas did differently to get it to work. BTW, what version of Vista were you using? 32 or 64 bit? Mine is 64.
I'd also like to find out how it worked with the phone already in bootloader mode, since everyone says (and my experience has shown) that the phone needs to be booted and synced before the RUU will talk to the phone.
This may all be too late for me anyway. I'm giving my old Cingular 8125 to a friend, which is why I've been updating it. Unfortunately (or fortunately? ), once she has it, I'll only be working with my ATT 8525, which I can update and work with without any of the problems I've had with the Wizard.
Hello,
I need some help with my HTC Blackstone. After numerous attempts to upgrade my ROM to Miri_WM61_21054_Manila_2.5_V2.1.rar and EnergyROM BLACKSTONE 20090829 StandardM2.5.rar (WM6.5) I succeeded in “breaking” my phone.
My ROM version was 1.56.401 (installed the update from htc.com: RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe).
First I tried the EnergyROM using the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe but I kept getting the 262 and 260 errors. After I downloaded the Miri_WM61_21054_Manila_2.5_V2.1.rar and also tried with the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and I kept getting the same errors. Then I had the brilliant idea to try the BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe that was in the Miri archive. The progress bar went from 0 to 100% in 3sec and then I realized that I did something bad.
Now everything is in green tones on my display but when I turn it off and then back on the colours come back to normal. Also the Windows is working very very hard. I managed to sync it with the PC and install the ROM from HTC website RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.56.401.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe but I have the same problem.
Can somebody please provide a solution to fix my phone.

connect ur phone in active sync mode with ur pc.
then run the HSPL olines wrapper.
ull enter a tricoloured screen which will say 1.56.OLINEX.
disconnect and reconnect ur USB cable.
Run the EXE in the downloaded ROM.
ull be ready with the new rom..
this is assuming u have Win XP. for other OS u need to dnload drivers from the thread mentioned in the above post.
Generally speaking if you are experiencing discolourization it is because your SPL is incorrect.
Check your SPL in bootloader. Then follow this guide. Any future queries regarding flashing should be posted in that thread and myself or others will help you. If no one responds PM me and I'll respond next time I'm online.

I ave read the site a lot and have a major problem. I am unable to flash a new ROM. I know the problem is the SPL but am unable to update the SPL with neither HSPL nor a USPL.
To give some info, I am on Windows XP, Windows Mobile Decive Centre 6.1 (installeed, uninstalled and reinstalled a zillion times now). I have even tried updating a RRU driver ripped off from Activesync 4.5 but nothing really works. I do ave .NET 4.5 installed on my PC so that isn't a concern either.
Can you guys please help me and suggest a solution.
Thanks a lot for all your help in advance.

did u try by flashing your HD by SD Card I always do it that way my self and always works very good

focus on one flash method, and concentrate to find out where you are doing wrong or what.
i suggest USPL 2.5, start in the Dummies guide here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
as you have windows xp, download the drivers here to update your sync driver :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619
and here is the procedure to actually update your sync driver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3932818&postcount=2
going back to the first link i presented to you, download and unzip USPL GUI 2.5.zip to a memorable area in you pc. (I suggest you create a special folder, name it Blackstone Flashing, or whatever memorable term comes to your mind)
I am trying to flash the ROM on my Touch Pro 2 before I sell it. I am running windows XP on a mac using Parallels 5.0. I have tried running the ROM update when active sync is connected and all starts ok then I get error 226 saying cannot connect. I then tried flashing straight from a newly FAT32 formatted microSD card and that jsut stocks on with a Loading message. So I tried flashing Hardspl, although I think that I have done this before when I still had a pc, but that failed with a connection error too. Any tips/advice anyone?
You need to provide more information. Are you trying to flash a custom ROM, and which one? What ROM are you running now? What version of the phone do you have/what carrier?
If you are still HardSPLed, the second line of text on the bootloader (tri-color) screen will say "OliNex", probably saying "SPL-0.85.Olinex". If it doesn't say this, the SPL is locked, and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
If you are trying to flash the stock ROM, I think some people have been having trouble doing so with the phone HardSPLed. But it may depend on what stock ROM. I am able to flash the Euro stock ROM just fine on my HardSPLed phone.
ok, i'll try to answer your request for more info:
trying to flash Energy Rom build 23699.
Existing ROM version is listed as 2.07.401.1 (80303) WME dated 2/4/10.
Phone is an unbadged HTC Touch Pro 2 as sold by Tmobile etc in UK.
Can't see any mention of OliNex on bootloader screen, so perhaps I didn't unlock= it after all. Certainly no T mobile stuff left on the phone now.

Don't know off hand what ROM that you have installed right now. What do the boot screens look like when you start the phone? Also, what does the bottom row of red letters say, when you startup the phone?
If it doesn't say Olinex on the bootloader screen, you are not HardSPLed. Either you never did it, or you relocked it.
Run HardSPL, and you should be able to flash from the SD card no problem.
Redpoint. Thanks for your replies and interest. I have tried to run HardSpl but this fails with a 260 connection error, even though Activsync is synced and connected. Id this to do with running a virtual pc on a mac perhaps?
Your welcome, hope my advice is helpful.
HardSPL is pretty finicky, even on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. I think running it on a Mac is difficult or even impossible. You can search the HardSPL thread and see if anyone was able to get it to run on Mac. I'm pretty sure I read different users on that thread mentioning issues with running HardSPL on Mac.
My best advice would be to run HardSPL on a friend's Windows XP system, if possible. It usually runs smoothly on XP, and only takes a couple minutes.
Yes, that confirms my suspicions. I will try it frommy partners windows XP netbook whenshe gets home. Fingers crossed.
Will let you know how I get on and if I need any more help!
