How to upgrade from Orange ROM ??

Bought my HD a month or so back, it's an Orange HD and has the factory Orange ROM. Can ANYONE please direct me on HOW to upgrade to the latest Original ROM , OR one of the cooked ones, as I have no idea how to, don't wanna brick my phone.
I had an HTC Advantage before this and sold it to buy this, upgraded that with cooked roms, I need directions on how to upgrade SPL to 1.56 or above and upgrade ROM likewise. Help will be much obliged.

Crackwhore wrote a guide for this, at top of forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377

I used Crackwhore's guide too for my Orange HD and it worked perfectly with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip allowing me to flash Duttys ROM which is excellent.
I even followed his instructions to roll back the SPL to test incase I ever needed to get the phone fixed under warranty, and it worked.

hey I have Touch HD of orange n right now im using Duty’s v3.9XT n its SUPERB on it.... I can simplify the procedure for u.it will be for both official rom upgrade and for putting any cooked rom without bricking ur phone... first ill write it down in outlines n than write the detail u need as being owner of orange touch hd device....
here is wht ul have to do.
1. Download relevant stuff.
2. install relevant drivers and USPL software on your pc
3. update your current orange rom to official updated rom.
4. Download and install any cooked rom.
here are the details....
Orange shipped touch hd's have SPL ver1.14000 in them. SPL is the bootloader. our first task is to update the SPL from 1.14 to 1.54.... if u dont do this and directly install any cooked rom. the screen colors all mess up.....
Firstly Download these….
You gotta have the updated USB sync drivers.tht can be done from crackwhores guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619
follow it. According to the operating system you have.
When you are done installing the drivers. Restart ur pc n (incase of vista: press F8 before windows starts n from menu select disable signature reinforcement) everytime u plan to flash a new rom u gotta restart n disable the driver signature reinforcement if u had a normal reset earlier as vista on normal boot blocks these drivers.
After u have the drivers installed and working go to this link another crackwhores guide n

Download these 2 files “USPL GUI v 2.5.zip” “BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip”
when you extract file USPL GUI v 2.5.zip your antivirus gives warning tht it is virus… its not… ignore that.
Now u have to download and install the official latest rom which works with touch HD (orange)to update your SPL to 1.54 .
go to this link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe
and from here download this file.
• RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.3 4_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
(note this rom is specific to UK devices n only this will work on orange hd…. If u download any other it will fail)
After you have downloaded and extracted the rom file. It will be named ruusigned.nbh make a new folder and in tht folder put this file and also extract that “blackstoneRUUwrapper” into it.
Now ur ready to start flashing process… for detail check the crackwhores guide to flashing. Im just writing short outline. Make sure you have at least 50% charge.
1.First turn off ur cell.
2.Hold down volume down button n press power button till u see a 3 colored screen with SPL 1.14000 n on bottom of screen there is “Serial”
3. Now connect your device to pc via usb cable. Serial will change to usb in couple of seconds.
4.Now run USPl.exe from tht USPL GUI v2.5 tht u had extracted earlier. A window will open. On tht click “RUN USPL” n in 5 to 10 secs it will run and show u message in end tht USPL loaded and happy flashing.
5.Ur cell screen will reload n now it will show “USPL1.54000” instead of “SPL 1.14000” and usb will disappear from bottom of screen. Just unplug the usb n replug USB will come up again.
6.Now go to tht folder with Blackstone RUUwrapper and RUUsingned.nbh file
7.Run tht BlackstoneRUUwrapper.exe
8.Follow the application by clicking next n checking boxes where ever needed.
9.At end it will start flashing ur rom. It takes 10 mins.
10.When finished your device will automatically restart.
11.While its doin tht unplug the usb. Remove the back cover n yank out the battery.
12.After 5 secs reinsert the battery n put on the cover
13.Now press n hold both up n down volume buttons n press the power button once.(but keep holding the volume buttons)
14.After 3 secs bootloader like screen will come up saying press vol up to restore factory settings.
15.Do tht
16.Whe finished it will say press vol up again to boot.
17.Do tht.
18.N ur done =) if u just wanted to get the latest official rom and this has updated your SPL to 1.54000 from 1.14000.
19.But if u want any cooked rom u can easily install tht following the same steps from 1. Using the cooked “RUUsigned.nbh” and u wont end up with any problems with screen colors with cooked roms….
Happy FLASHING

well regarding updating spl from 1.14 to 1.54 u need not install the full rom..
jus install hspl 1.56 olinex or if u want stock 1.54 then
1. dnload stock spl 1.56 from the tut thread
2. run uspl 2.5
3. wait fr bootloader to show 1.xx.uspl
4. remove and replg usb cable and confirm usb on white part
5. run hsplwrapper 1.56 olinex but do not do any thing on the ruu(wait fr files to extract in the window from where u ran the hspl wrapper)
6.copy the stock spl u dnloaded(ruu_signed.nbh) into the directory where files were extracted and allow to overwrite.
n thats all u need to get 1.56 stock..

yup u dont need stock rom if u just wanna get a cooked rom but if u want official update. thats the rom for orange sets.n do try both normal update n cooked rom of ur choice =)

Help about flashing roms

Hi! I have a question about roms. I want to flash my rom with let"s say shadowmans win 6.5, but i dont know how, because everyone is talking about hardspl and branded phones. I have i stock rom now (6.1) and i have hardspl preinstalled, does that mean that i can flash any rom i want or what? What is the quickest way to flash and what can u do if flashing fails? I need a quick giude for dummies. Thanks for all your help!

the easiest way to flash is with custom RUU it is explaind in hspl Wiki- as you will use this to flash hspl
download newest hspl 1.83 olinex and flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
download ROM
connect you topaz to pc in active syns mode
open CustomRUU it us usually included with downloaded ROM
follow the instructions
then you can flash the radio again use the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Topaz_Radio_ROM
hope this can get you started

If you definitely have hspl 1.83 olinex installed (you can check from the 3 colour bootloader screen - completely switch off your topaz and switch on again whilst holding volume down key), then you can flash any ROM using just your microsd card instead of connecting to your PC.
Download the ROM of your choice and extract the .nbh file from the archive or folder. It will be the biggest file in the archive. Rename this to TOPAIMG.nbh and put it in the root (top level) of your microSD card.
Make sure your battery is near to full, then turn off and restart your Topaz in bootloader mode as described above. It will detect the ROM and ask you to confirm upgrade. Simple as that. When it's complete and says "success" you can restart your phone using the reset button.
If ever it fails, you can simply do it again. Or, take out your microSD, put it in a card reader and put another TOPAIMG ROM file there, re-insert, and reflash.
Don't forget to delete the TOPAIMG file afterwards.
You can flash complete ROMs this way or just radio ROMs, it's the same process. I like this method because it's self-contained and doesn't rely on connection to your PC. Only make sure a) olinex 1.83 is installed already, and b) there's adequate battery left.
Don't forget to make a note of your stock ROM so that you can download it again in case you ever want to go back to it, or if you send your phone in for service.

problem
I did what you said but when I turn on the power with volume down press i can read, for a very short while, the word "no file image". What I have to do now? In the micro SD there is only the .nbh file and in the boot mode I can read that olinex 1.83 is installed.Help please.thanks a lot. Simon

I have checked that too, but i have hspl 1.33, does that mean i can flash any rom i want from my sd card or i must have 1.83 to do that?
Thanks for help

is your micro sd formatted with fat 32? must be formatted in order to flash a rom using a micro sd card first. you dont have to power down your device to flash from sd card either. just hold volume down and insert stylus in the soft reset hole. hold until bootloader screen comes up. after flashing a hard reset is recommended. thats when you power down the device. you have to wait till everything gets set up first though to get to where you can power down the device though. hold volume up and down button. while holding those buttons turn the power back on. then follow the instructions it says.

Is your ROM file named exactly TOPAIMG.nbh? Note the caps for the filename and lower case for the extension.
I was just reading another thread and apparently this is important for the bootloader to recognise it.

Please add one small comment to HSPL instructions
Few of us get "stuck" installing HSPL... Once you see a tricolor screen you are to follow RUU...but it says to be connected in activesync. yet if one looks on activesync you see your device is disconnected.
Please add "wait a minute" and just click OK on RUU. By then it is connected just doesn't show in activesync. Flash and all should be good.

I haven't burned a new ROM yet but have been getting the pieces together
I have an AT&T Pure which comes stock with WinMo 6.5 and also comes with
a Stock HSPL 1.83 (I believe 1.83 is required for all 6.5 and above?)
I think there is a potential area of confusion here for Pure users
(Especially since the other Topaz came with WinMo 6.1 and HSPL 1.33)
there is an OEM HSPL 1.83 and an Olinex modified 1.83 that will unlock
the phone.
Correct me if I'm wrong but
The one that is actually needed is the "modified"
1.83 OliNex (available here on XDA from Olinex as a sticky)
Can someone confirm this "subtle" difference???
I've gone to the tri-color Boot screen and the stock Pure only says
HSPL 1.83 (it does does not say OliNex)
my current understanding is that I will need to
burn the Olinex HSPL over my Stock OEM 1.83
before adding a new ROM??
One final question is after I reburn the new Olinex HSPL
Do I need to install the new ROM at that point?
Or could I use my phone? (with old stock Rom plus new HSPL)
Just want know if I'd be "off the air" at that point or not?
(So maybe I'll wait with R1+ over the latest Dutty Rom)
TIA
Hope this can at least promote some understanding

you can imitate the way of qemasoft to make your device go to the boot loader, then you flash back to the official ROM that you can get in http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Diamond

Help! My Diamond cant boot and i want to flash it to Original

Hi everyone.
Ive got a MAJOR Problem here.
My Cell Phone doesnt start at all.
If i put it one the USB Cable it can Start up like 5 Seconds.
Then it Reboots and Reboots again and again by 5 Seconds.
If I Disconnect the Phone from USB screen turns Black Immediately...
I thought it could be the Batterie... but.. it worked just fine yesterday..
(have i Mentioned that this weird Sticker on it turned red..? Some kind of sign saying me it got wet?)
All this started as i got a Coloured screnn with saying ´´Serial´´ @ the bottom of the Screnn... just exact like the Flash Screen
I Flashed the Rom which is on the Internal Storage i put bevor. To bad it aint the Stock ROM!
Then i also tried Hard Reset.
But everytime i boot... i only get as far as 5 Seconds.
Is there any Chance to Flash this Baby with original ROM (Stock ROM, RADIO and SPL)
I want to send that Baby in... but if they find out i Flashed it... i wont get any Warranty... ;(
So PLEASE GIVE ME ANY ADVICES!!!!!

Try to flash with the original ROM. Go to HTC homepage-support, download the ROM and flash. It may help...

HELP

Just go into bootloader mode (you have Hard SPL installed right?) by booting up the phone while holding down the volume down key. Then connect it to the pc with the USB cable and run the CustomRUU to flash another rom. Should work! Else you should try to MTTY (that solves the resetting stuff right?).

I was just about to say to try to get Diamond into bootloader mode manually. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405659

MTTY wont work... cause i cant boot at all
But THX for your help flashing it back to Original...

ill go through it with you

CaponiND + jigners
thank you.
i tried the USPL 2.5
but still it show me spl-1.14.
and after updating the ROM.
its stuck on the setup screen : tap the screen to setup your device.
+ something wrong with the screen color.

Boot.
Remove battery for some time,try to get in to boot loader from device not from windows,restart windows if there are any usb connections or processes in windows that prevent from flashing. Insert usb cable in different usb port. Try on a different pc.

the boot problem is finished. after i change the USB port.
i update to SPL-1.56, then i update the ROM.
but still its stuck on :
tap the screen to set up your windows phone.
when i tap the screen, the screen comes bright. but nothing change.
and its vabirate for a second. from time to time while its on the set up screen.
thanx mcnaget but still i need a help.

Battery.
Remove the battery for 24 hours and try again.

24 hours more
ok ill try, thnx alot.

Battery.
I have read in some post that this could help but if it is a hardware damage than none of this would help.
I wish you best of luck to bring him back to life.
Regards.

thanx
still stuck at set up screen.
i notice some thing when i update, usually it show me in the box :
verify that you want to update the ROM version :
from :
Image Version : "the previous ROM"
to :
Image Version : "the next ROM".
but now its show nothing on "From": Image Version.
just show mo the Image Version of "TO".
See the attached Pic.

Rom.
Have you try manualy to go to boot loader.If you already have olinex 1.56 try some different stock rom.

This is normal behavior when flashing from/to custom made ROMs, at least with USPL (never tried HSPL )
