Returning To Stock ROM/SPL withough USB?!?!?

Hi guys, got a problem here. Need to return my HTC Touch HD for warrant purposes, basically the USB connection doesnt work - it charges but nothing else, 3 PC's and 3 leads wont even acknowledge that its connected to a pc (yet it charges?!?).
To return it, i need to restore standard ROM and SPL but obviously because of the problem i cant connect it to a pc to flash!!
Any ideas appreciated!!

If you got HSPL you can copy the blacimg.nbh on sd card and let the bootloader flash.
Im not sure but i think it should be possible with non hspl if you flash a stock rom because spl/ipl are included to shipped roms.

As already said, you can flash the stock rom from your SD card, by copying the .nbh file into the root directory of your SD card and renaming it BLAC_IMG.nbh. Power device off, press and hold the volume down key, and press the power button to get into bootloader. The image file will be shown on the screen - just follow the instructions.
However, this will not flash the SPL as HSPL is protected from being overwritten. Not sure how you can get around this one without being able to use USB.

According to the HSPL thread, the HSPL is protected to be overwritten, so flashing SPL without the restoration pack in HSPL thread should not work.
I recommend you back up all your data and do a Hard Reset, then try to sync with your PC.
If it still not work, eject your SD card and try power on your phone while holding VolDown, this will enter the bootloader (tri-color screen). Connect the USB cradle, when the bottom of the screen shows "USB" instead of "Serial", launch the Stock-SPL restoration pack from the HSPL thread and follow the instructions.

Tried this but it still showed 'Serial' after i connected the USB lead!
Using the SD card method im gonna be able to get a stock ROM back on there so thats a start!
I've got HSPL not USPL
Anyone know how strict HTC UK are at checking warranty returns?

More issues!!! I cant even use the SD Card method, i formatted my card and copied BLACIMG/BLAC_IMG (2 guides named the file differently) to the root of the card, when i go to boot loader it says image not found. WTF???

The file must be named BLACIMG.nbh. Furthermore it seems that some cards don't work, so maybe you have bad luck .
But, as already said, this doesn't help you at all, as you need to restore the SPL, too, which isn't possible without an USB connection.

what was the outcome re your phone?

HOW TO FLASH ROM ON JADE FROM THE SD CARD (Thx to Haree) (Original Thread)
1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to JADEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.
2.Poweroff your phone
3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone
4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install
Note : it should take about 10-15 mins
also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better
this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)

Just a quick one, does it make any difference if I have HardSPLv41 for an OEM 1.40.** build? What effect does it have, if any?
TIA!

I am getting the error "server appears to be down, try later."
I had 1.71 rom, and tried HardSPL V3 and HardSPL v1.41, both gives an error
Downloaded CustomRUU from image version 1.40.723.2, with the rom in the same folder, boot to tricolor screen and later showed a grey background with a progress bar stuck at 0%. It never moved even after 10 mins, whats wrong with this?

First you should successfully do HardSPL then try flashin ROM. without hardSPL u cannot Flash any custom ROM.
Should Read the HardSPL thread carefully..
Check ur internet connection ( No Proxy )
Install the Software in your Jade when Directed by HardSPL

I did the HardSPL, but I dun know why the tricolor screen still shows 1.40.0000 instead of 1.40.1000.
not running ny proxy, on SNBB.
Touch 3G devices. for JADE100

can I ask what a rom is best for jade? I prefer speed and stability. Sorry for my english, she is not good.thanks

why isit that HrdSPL keep telling me tat the software is for non comercial use only, and I couldnt even flash the bootloader!

IronEagle,
ActiveSync can only be used when flashing with Windows XP PC, with Vista PC you need Windows Mobile Device Center from here:

try and use the sd card method to flash a stock rom..since your phone is booting the bootloader it shld be able to pick up the rom, hope u get it fixed

While in the boot loader (tricolour screen)
- Copy your RUU_Signed.nbh ROM file to the CustomRUU folder (where you have ROMUpdateUtility)
- Run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe"
- Connect your phone to the PC, text at bottom in tricolour screen will change from Serial to USB
- Follow on-screen instructions, loading bar shows on PC & phone

Usb Problem

hi guys/gals
I'm trying to flash a rom onto my phone but as it gets to the stage where the multi colour screen pops up windows tell me that its an unrecognised device
'the device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognise it'
where the phone usually displays 'usb' is just blank, it changes to serial when the cables disconnected but when reconnected it remains as serial.
I've flashed my phone before with out any issues and I've tried to flash it via the sd card but I'm not 100% sure that I'm doing it correctly, I've renamed the file to Blacimg.nbh booted the phone into the colour screen thing and thats as far as it goes, I think because it doesn't display 'usb' I can't get any further.
I've tried to do it on several machines and get the same problem
are there any other ways I can flash my phone that dont require the cable as I'm fairly sure that theres a problem with the phone.
more info:
rom I have at the moment: Kwbr Topix 2.6.1
rom I am trying to install: Xannytech ROM Grid LEO 1.5
I have tried to update the drivers - it says the file doesn't have any information about my device.
active sync works, I can transfer files and the phone is recognised in device manager just not while in the colour screen mode
just to clarify, I'm looking for a way to install a rom that doesn't require the 'usb' screen or a solution to the problem of the missing usb screen would be nice too.
I have searched but I couldn't find anything relevant.
thanks in advance.

If you had searched you would have realised that most chef's (including kwbr) provide instructions on how to flash roms using 2 different methods. USB or SD Card.
I just taken about 20 seconds to locate one of Kwbr's rom threads and on his 2nd post he actually states how to flash using SD Card method.
i.e.
Q: I am having problems flashing the rom with CustomRUU.exe. Can I flash in another way?
You can try the official RUU for Blackstone to flash. Also flashing from SD card is an option. To flash from SD just rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh, copy it to the root of your SD card, and flash the rom from the tri-color screen by pressing the power button.

[PROBLEM] Bricked my Blackstone

Hi All.
I've had my flashed severtal times with the new ROM and never had any problems with it (apart from ROM itself not being perfect).
Yesterday I've cooked myself a plain ROM and flashed phone with it. Flash took less than a minute and my phone isn't starting any more. I've checked NBH file and it's only 6 MB!
At the moment all I can do it to is to try to turn it on, it stops on the 'Smart Mobility' screen with red info on the bottom. Info reads:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34U
D 1.59.48753
When I start my phone with Vol Down button pressed it goes to tricolor and when I continue to hold Vol Down I get white screen with message: Loading: No Image File! showing on the screen briefly and back to tricolor.
No problem you say - flash another ROM. But at the moment my phone doesn't connect to my PC. Cable tested with another HTC - works. When I connect it I get USB on the screen but Flashing utility doesn't detect the phone.
When I try to Hard Reset the phone it just starts normally. So Vol Up + Vol Down + Power doesn't work at all. All I have is smart mobility and tricolor.
Info from Tricolor:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
and on the bottom either Serial or USB.
Question is:
is there anything I can do to revive my phone? Is there any way to flash it without USB connection? If yes, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance,

There is a way of flashing from SD card if you have HSPL (you do... OliNex).
Please do some search...

if it displays usb in tricolor you can flash a rom with CustomRUU from there. its not bricked

Put BLACIMG.nbh on the root of your SD card and enter bootloader mode, it'll detect it and ask if you want to flash it - press power button to confirm.

Dont connect your phone to your computer.
Hold down the Volume down button and hit the power button.
Your entering the tricolor boot screen and at the bottom the word "Serial".
Now connect you phone to your computer with te USB cable the word serial disappear and now it says USB.
Now you can normally flash/update your phone.

Thank for all your answers.
Problem still lasts, tried everything I could, including trying another computer. I've tried SD card flashing but couldn't get past tricolor. Everytime I tried all I got was No image file! and nothing.
In desperate act of dying I've went to my neighbour and borrowed his old Win XP laptop and it worked... Currently flashing new ROM to it.
What I cannot understand is why my computer (iMac running Windows on parralels), my laptop (Win 7) and my second laptop (Win Vista) couldn't detect the phone. I've succesfully flashed it before using all three machines, including virtualized Win 7 on my mac :/
Any ideas why it stopped working? I'll try to connect it again when ROM will be fully flashed and let you know.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Cheers,

Why don't you try shipped ROM, it may do the trick.
Get the original shipped ROM from HTC site or from XDA site.
Extract the content in some directory
Rename ruu_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and copy it on root folder of your SD card.
Now start your phone holding Vol down button.
Fingers crossed to to start flashing

Hi again.
I can confirm that due to flashing my phone with that odd 6MB ROM I could not connect it to any computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Strangely enough - it worked with Windows XP Professional. I have managed to flash my phone again on it using custom ROM from this forum.
Cheers,
