Problem flashing rom

Hi,
Although this is my first post, I have been lurking for many years.
I have successfully flashed a Kaiser and a Diamond in the past so I feel reasonably confident.
However, I am having real problems with my blackstone. I have followed the instructions until point 5, when I enter bootloader it is showing 1.14000 etc - I then try to follow the rest of the instructions. It will go into the rom updater utility, the screen will go grey and show 0% but then nothing happens and I eventually have to go into recovery.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Caroline

Sounds like you haven't installed either HSPL or USPL before trying to flash rom.
I'd recommend going down the HSPL route. (Latest HSPL can be found in my signature). Once downloaded flash to phone then you are ready to flash to cooked roms

Hi,
Thanks for replying. I just tried that and have the same problem.
What have I done wrong??

Go into bootloader. If it says 1.14.0000 you are ready to go to step (5c). When you connect usb cable to pc does the text at bottom change from 'serial' to 'USB'?
Possible problems could be:
1. You haven't disabled anti-virus
2. Drivers on you pc need updated. Download step (1g) and go to (0).
If USPL is successful it should state SPL v 1.15.USPL in bootloader. If HSPL is successful it should state SPL v 1.15 OliNex

Hi,
Well after much swearing at both computer and phone, I managed to get the drivers updated. Many thanks Spartan, it seems that this was the problem as I am flashing Dutty's ROM right now.
Thanks for your help.

No prob's, just glad you got it sorted

stuck on 0% cannot flash hspl yes i did search the forum

Hello,
i am trying to upgrade my spl version to 1.56 to be able to use the 1.5x roms
currently my device is a mess :
radio : 1.10.25.25
rom : 1.56.47.601
SPL : 1.14 stock
i cant flash from active sync because that causes wm 6.5 to crash
when i boot on spl, then launch hspl1.56, the transfer stays stuck at 0% then HSPLwrapper goes to recovery mode.
I have tried on several PCs
I have seen a post about an HTC diamond stuck on 0% that said i had to use the developer version of HSPL, but i m not sure what i downloaded, and it was for the diamond so i didnt go ahead.
Someone please help me get the device functionnal again X'( ?

Enter bootloader.
run uspl 2.5 on pc
wait for the fone to reboot to the bootloader.
it'll show 1.xx.uspl
now run the hspl olinex wrapper.
its getting stuck because it cannot pass the security check..

or just follow the flashing for dummies guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377

look here: [USPL] - Blackstone USPL, or how to keep your stock SPL and flash cooked ROMs

Please post rom flashing problems in the Dummies Guide to flashing thread.
There are a few different Update Error codes though. Did you get a number with the error eg 262 or 280 as they mean different things

thx 4 ur fast answers. i don't want to get a uspl, my prob is that i can't flash any other spl anymore.
after trying out a new 6.5, i had to reflash it because of an green-screen problem.
and since i flashed the new O2 version 1.57.207.1 im not able to flash any spl or rom. the only error i see is "update error" which seems to be a lock problem...

As I asked earlier? What is the number of the error you get as there are different meanings to each one of these?
Also, the mods will close this thread down, so please take any other questions to the Dummies Guide thread.

ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
btw: soft reset didn't help

Please post in dummies guide thread. No need for another thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347

No idea why HTC is releasing this rom now "OFFICIALLY" as they.
The rom date says 17th April, 2009 and this was available at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe if I'm not wrong.

Uspl is not something you flash on to your phone like the hardspl, it is executed in your windows operating system of your personal computer, it is like a medium which allows to flash unsigned ROMs on to the HTC blackstone a.k.a HTC Touch HD from your computer. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 be sure to downgrade your drivers and disable the driver signature enforcement in vista and Windows 7 and yes you can flash other ROMs by using Uspl even if you have hardspl on your device because it will not overwrite yout Hardspl. Try searching and reading through the forum for the answers. i hope i have shed enough light for you to pass through your problem. have fun flashing. enjoy

I hate to say this but..... HELP!!!

I've been lurking with the XDA forum for quite sometime now and its my very first posting and I'm having difficulties finding answers on search box I just simply give up looking for appropriate answer to my question. Since I like to use the good old Winmo 6.1 rom (Davideuck_V-7_MSVC to be exact)my bad is I forgot to SPL to earlier version 1.15 so got a green kinda thing on my screen, so I apply Restore_Stock_SPL_115 and everything went fine. (I know I'm stupid ) Unfortunately after I update the Time and Date it suddenly appear " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah,.... guess what? its a time bomb can't do anything on screen but to reset. So I decide to re-flash it again but I got stuck at 0% on bootloader mode and got Error 262, I tried to understand whats the meaning of it and I did, but never got any solution how? I tried to flash it with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex to restore Winmo 6.5 but I got stuck again on 0%. something unusual I tried to reflash more roms and it didn't work. All the Roms I've wont reach 1% Even flashing on SD card trick wont load. And my spl ver 1.15 can't flash anything. So I that's why I need your help desperately...

Near enough the exact same situation as me! I think that 1.15 file may have issues.

If you are getting an Error 262, you need to run manual sspl in order to resolve this. Read this post for the steps (post #2) and sspl tool (post #1) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377. You can also get all of the steps needed to successfully flash. if you have questions, please post them in that thread.

It seems when I restart my phone normally, I noticed that the message about " This concludes the beta test for this software release....... blah, blah" the manila interface was behind it when I press the task manager and the volume buttons it responses means its not bricked (hope so) maybe the reason why I cant flash anything? Or whatever...Well that's my observation..... Please guys I needed my phone badly tomorrow

Did you not read my post . You can flash another rom, error 262 is common. You just need to use sspl before flashing to hspl 1.56.

if ur stuck with hspl and cant flash that than try uspl or try stock rom.... they get installed without hspl or uspl installed.... its available in the blackstone wiki section

and with stock rom get through tomorrow . than try hspl or uspl with custom rom later on when u have free time

Upgrade the ROM with latest official HTC release it upgrades the bootloader to ver 1.54 as well. Then you can install the newest version of HSPL or just use USPL to flash whatever cooked ROM you want.

Apologies on replying again here instead of posting on the designated thread , but forgive my innocence the thread says "" launch SSPL-Manual.exe from attachment, run it, wait until 1.07.OliNex tricolour screen says "USB" on it, then run the HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on the PC. "" how exactly that's going to be done? Currently I got the tri-color screen saying SPL-1.15.0000 and a USB on the bottom and when I flash either hspl or uspl I always end up on gray screen with a 0% that doesn't move at all, how can I manually apply SSPL? I cant access Manila interface because of time bomb message? My life's getting complicated!

If possible try flashing from an XP box, Vista/7 might give you some additional trouble if you don't use the right drivers. But if you get to the 0% screen, the issue shouldn't be with the SPL... so don't worry, I doubt the phone is bricked
So: try XP and/or using the drivers provided in the Flashing-thread

Did you downloaded the ROM from the HTC site? If the ROM is from the official site try again using USPL.

I seach the wiki page and found the latest version which is "Blackstone_WWE_1.56.405.1" and I can't find it on the official site, it should be "WWE" not specifying on certain countries, so I manage to download it from Rapidshare link. and for the SSPL I don't think I can do that coz I can't access my phone coz it has tim bomb probably the main culprit here.

Any flashing problems should be posted in Dummies Guide thread.
