Hi there,
My brother also has an HD and off course I put a nice custom ROM on it
However, the screen is dead since yesterday.
I already put the original dutch ROM on it, but it shows a nasty green windows screen. I can't get any further beyond allign screen...
My question: when he sends his HD to HTC, they will probably won't fix it, because they can see it's HSPL (?).
So anybody knows how to restore to complete original, without getting into the phone with cabs? I put HSPL on it, the phone is 6 months old.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!!
Thx a lot

You can restore original SPL and rom without having to get into phone with cabs.
As long as you can enter bootloader screen you can restore stock SPL.
I came across this "step for step" process via a search. I have not tried it yet (and hopefully never have to -
How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download your choice of a stock spl package (ie the original SPL).
2. also download the original hardspl from the attachments in this post. (I presume you already have this?)
3. run the hardspl exe but do not click anything in RUU yet. just let the hardspl EXE extract the files for flashing. (You can probably skip this step)
4. the SPL you want to revert to is a .NBH file, put the stock SPL NBH in the extracted hardspl package, overwriting the original NBH file in it!
5. continue with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour 1.07.OliNex screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+6. to verify, enter bootloader mode, see version number on tricolour screen, should now just say 1.14.0000.
that's it.
+7. no worries: if your device is stuck in bootloader mode with Hard-SPL and you need warranty service, you can still flash stock SPL.
As I said, I have not tried this. If this does not work, search on this site or Google for additional info. Hope it helps.

Thanks for linking to the post, I just added the steps
The OP however says that they have already flashed back to the stock ROM, but that the colours are screwy. This needs the stock SPL restored as well in order to recover normal functioning (or at least so that they can send in for repairs without voiding the warranty).

note that; if you restore stock SPL 114 or 115 please download the same rom version for flashing.
ex: when you restore SPL 114 you must have ship Rom:http://rs68l32.rapidshare.com/files....479.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
because the different SPL & Rom version will make wrong screen.
wow, thank you very much for the quick and usefull replies!
I installed this ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2189268...6.404.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe
So after this I have to install original SPL? Can you guys see which one?
Thanks in advance!

The process of restoring stock rom/SPL is only to be used if you plan to return device. If you are wanting to keep you you mentioned earlier then you would need to put either USPL or HSPL on your device first. I would recommend USPL for you as it would be easier to return to stock SPL afterwards.
Once you have rom on your device, DO NOT restore stock SPL afterwards. You only restore this if you plan to return your device. If you did you would have to go through whole process of putting USPL or HSPL onto your device again to flash another rom.
The phone has to be returned because of screen problems.
I will put SPL 1.13 on it and then flash the earlier mentioned ROM.
Then return to HTC

No probs. Out of curiosity what screen problems do you have? Are they Hardware problems or is it something else which could possibly be fixed through the assistance of xda users
It's the phone of my brother, he tells me that the screen doesn't respond anymore, so he can't get past the calibration!
I'll give an update when HTC fixed this (or replaced it )
Thanks for all the help!
I'm doing this right now. I had been using Dutty's V6 before. I never updated the radio, so Ishouldn't have to change it, right?
Anyway, I flashed the stock RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe rom, and that went fine. I'm trying to flash the stock 1.13 spl, and I get error 202: connection. It thinks it can't see my phone, even though it does the initial connection, and even sees what version (1.56) of the spl is on there. Any ideas?
Ok, I did this: I put the phone into bootloader manually by pressing up when it boots up to get to the tricolor screen. That let me run the 1.13 spl pdate, and it said it completed successfully. However, when it boots ups, it still shows D:1.56 olinex or whatever. Did it not work?
Ok, acutally I think it did load up. The Bootloader shows SPL-1.13.0000. So why does it show:
R1.13.25.24
G52.62.25.34u
D1.56.00.00
Is this ready to send in for service?

If your SPL says 1.13.0000 then you are fine to send phone in for service.

All queries answered
OK. Decided to upload a new ROM as my phone was getting slow and unusable.
It's an O2 XDA (Touch Diamond) with:
Touchflo v3 Build 29946
ROM 1.93.206.6 WWE
09/08/08
Radio 1.00.25.05
Protocol 52.29.25.12H
Boot R1.00.25.05
I downloaded Olinex's unsigned developer Hard SPL and I extracted the NBH file and renamed it DIAMIMG.NBH following the advice here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
On soft reset I pushed the vol down and back buttons to get the boot loader stripes, then let go.
I now have a screen which says "Loading..." and has done for 20 minutes. I have now got the phone on charge while I wait for some help to see what to do next, just in case this is a critical stage - don't want to brick it.
Reading through again I am concerned that this was a procedure for rom upgrade not Hard SPL install, can someone tell me please?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Well, I ended up taking the battery off to get it to reboot. It seems to boot fine back into the old ROM.
I still intend to upgrade it (to SwiftBL's v7.5) but have a few questions:
1. Can the HardSPL be run from the internal storage card? If so is it simply running the exe from the unpacked zip from within a folder? ActiveSync is a bit too flaky for me.
2. Do I need the SIM card in the phone at any stage of the ROM upgrade?
3. On the original ROM I get a drop down menu to setup the phone to the UK O2 network settings. If I load a new ROM, will I need to know these settings?
Cheers
1. HardSPL cannot be run from storage. Only Activesync or Bootloader
2. No. You can flash without SIM card
3. You can use connection setup on any new ROM. Usually starts straight after initial setup.
OK here's where I'm at now.
Downloaded jockyw2001's HardSPL 1.24
Ran it and it got as far as prompting me to run on the phone. I said 'Yes' and the HTC screen went black as expected.
Next stage was to run the DiamondCustomRUU.exe file which I did but this is waiting for ActiveSync. ActiveSync will not sync with the phone now, I guess because the phone is not 'on'?
Where do I go from here?
Use the Hard-SPL in my sig with your RUU.
Thanks, will do (it's not the one mentioned in the ROM author's description though).
So how do I recover the phone from the black screen now? Is it safe to remove the battery to reset?
Battery pulled after reading this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-427945.html
I'll try the SPL you mentioned now.....
Had a good search but can't find out. This Olinex zip contains just one file RUU_Signed.nbh.
Where do I get the other files from to run this?
use the attached . It has the RUU exe and the nbh.
Thanks. This is a signed version I see, was going to use SwiftBL's ROM which requires unsigned.
May take a look at other roms that use signed unless you think that I can load the SwiftBL rom with this version?
hy gujs,
please help me, i need to bring back my stock rom, 6.1, but dont know how! my vibra is broken, i have guarantie, but they want to official 6.1 rom.. now i have 6.5 rom heeelpp

I had no problems with a warranty job after returning to stock rom and spl.
extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.
step by step:
- this is ONLY for warranty reasons. i.e. the device needs repair and you have to send it to htc to get it serviced. if you plan to restore hardspl then don't even bother flashing this stock package, unless you are some kind of hacker/dev
- IMPORTANT: be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
- now the steps
1. download the stock spl package from this post.
2. download X1_HardSPL_v1 too, from this post.
3. run the hardspl package, but do not press Next button i.e do not go ahead with flash yet.
4. at this point, take the extracted stock SPL, a RUU_Signed.NBH file, and overwrite the other RUU_Signed.NBH in hardspl package.
5. go on with the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to tricolour screen with 0.52.OliNex version), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+1. to verify, enter bootloader (see description above in this post), and check version number on tricolour screen. it should say 0.72.0000.
this is what i found, but how to return stock OS?! can i overwrite 6.5? all next step i understand!
have you tried following the steps provided?
there is nothing different to flashing a 6.1 and 6.5
Hey guys.
Just on this. I downloaded a generic image, but how do I load a *.IMAGE file? CustomRUU doesn't do anything, and SE updater won't recognise the phone.
Thanks in advance.
u must rename .image to kovsimg.nbh
So.. issue solved?
solved, have forgot to delete image of wm6.1 from my memori stick! now is solved and evverything is oke, x1 is now to authorized repair!
thx all, if someone have problem like i just ask here will help
cheers
Hi Guys,
I have a DUTCH Touch Pro 2 and I want to remove hardspl for warranty reasons(speaker is broken). should I follow the steps below, or is there another way to remove it?
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.
PLEASE HELP

How many times were you able to get a replacement under the warranty with HardSPL? This may save a lot of heartache later since I've noticed the method to flash HardSPL on the Rhodium to be more finicky than on past HTC's I've owned.
Just follow the steps.
BTW: HTC know to look for "OliNex" in the bootloaders.
And more problems, please ask in the Hard SPL / Flashing threads.

Hi, i'm totally new to flashing phones etc. I have a tytn II and was running windows 6 on it.
I Flashed it with Hard SPL, and then downloaded TPC 23053 Titanium Ultimate. It's the one on the thread that says you don't need to flash a stock ROM first.
I flashed it and all went fine, booted up and alligned the screen etc. It then rebooted itself then loaded back up. All seemed to be ok, sound and camera wasn't working. In the fourth post of the titanium thread, it says the recommened SPL and radio.
which are Recommended SPL 3.34 Radio 1.70.18.02
So i downloaded both, flashed the SPL and then the radio. Now when i boot i get a black and white image of a tribal kind of dragon. It asked me to setup the phone again so i alligned the screen again. Sound and camera now worked.
However, i was usuing it for a while and then for some reason programs stop loading, it says something like, it's write protected or make sure you have the correct security permissions. When i plug into the pc i can't get anything off the storage card or the phone, it says permission denied.
So when i reboot the phone, it keeps asking me to setup again so i lose all my contacts that i have added etc. I can turn the phone on and off and it's fine, but then eventually does the wierd permissions and access denied thing and when i reboot always asks me to setup the phone.
Can anyone help me as to why this is doing this? I read something about CID unlock etc, is it to do with that because i didn't perform this step.
Not sure why everytime i reboot the phone it asks me to setup the phone again, sometimes it doesn't, it's usually after it stops letting me open programs.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
Maybe reflash.
You should have posted this in the thread made for the rom.
Thanks for the reply, sorry it's in the wrong place.
Can i flash back to windows 6, is this possible as titanium is 6.5 and do you know where i can find the "stock rom" for the tytn ii.
I think the problem is i didn't flash to stock rom first, but i was already running the stock rom. What was on itwhen i bought it from the shop so it's the same thing isn't it?
Obviously you must have flashed Hardspl and sim/cid unlocked your phone. Upgrade your hardspl reflash with a stock 6.1 rom from the wiki .I know it says that you don't have to flash stock first, but when flashing 6.5 roms, it is always a good to flash stock first to clean out the extended rom.
Flash a stock rom , flash ultimate, hard eset and the set up.
Thanks, i will try it now. I'm following these instructions. Do i need to do all of this including the bootloader, or just to restore the OS to step 2? Also once done do i need to reinstall HardSPL?
1. Get the original ROM for your device (HTC or ATT)
2. Flash the OEM ROM to your device (this will restore your OS but not the bootloader, we'll get to that below)
3. Copy the ROM to a temp folder and extract it, I use WinRAR, just right click on it and select "Extract to Here"
4. After extracting the ROM you should have a several files here, one called RUU_signed.nbh is the one we're looking for. Copy this file to another empty temp directory.
5. Download NBHExtract and follow the instructions in the link to extract the NB files from the ROM (essentially just copy nbhextract.exe to the temp folder where the nbh file is and run it from a command line - like so C:\temp\kitchen\>nbhextract.exe RUU_signed.nbh
6. You should now have several .nb files in that directory, the one we're interested in is the 01_SPL.nb.
7. Now you have to create an NBH file with just the SPL, to do that download htcrt (HTC Rom Tool).
8. Run the tool and under the ROM Builder tab select Kaiser, the rest on the left side doesn't matter right now. On the right side of this window click the "..." next to SPL and select the 01_SPL.nb you extracted from the OEM ROM. This should be the only thing added under Firmware Contents. Click Build ROM.
9. You should now have a NBH file that is relatively small (about 258K), copy this NBH file to a new empty directory
10. Download pof's KaiserCustomRUU.exe and put this in the same directory used in step 9. Don't run this yet.
11. Download pof's SSPL-KAIS.exe and copy it to your phone
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
13. When you have the bootloader screen on your phone run KaiserCustomRUU.exe from the folder used in step 10.
14. After it's finished verify your SPL by holding down power and camera buttons while doing a soft reset.
15. Send your device back for warranty repair or replacement.
No you don't have to do all that. That is just if you want to restore your phone for warranty return. All you have to do is go to the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs and download a stock rom to your desktop. Connect your phone and run the RUU and follow the onscreen.
After your phone is flashed with stock, just reflash Ultimate the same way.
First however , enter bootloader , depress camera and power button while soft resetting, and check your spl, if it is still 1.0 olipro , upgrade it first to 3.29 or 3.34 using this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498320
Once your phone is hardspl'd you never have to do it again
Thanks very much for your help. I have 3.29 on there at the moment, should i flash to 3.34, then flash to stock rom, and then to ultimate again.
Or flash stock rom, then 3.34 SPL and then ultimate?

You can do it both ways it doesn't matter since you already have hardspl on your device and basically you are updating the current 3.29 to 3.34 to have a better performance with the ultimate rom.
I downloaded 3.34 SPL, and transfered the 3 files, JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.93-KAIS etc to my device, it then says to take the battery out.
However, when i do this my device hard resets, i have to setup the phone again. Because it hard resets it deletes the 3 files so i can't run JumpSPL1.56
How important is taking the battery out after transferring the files to my device. How can i get round this, shall i just run the file without removing the battery?

No, it's important to remove it. How long are you leaving the battery out for? And was it over 50% charge before you removed it?
I'm assuming you followed steps 1-4 to the letter.
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.94-KAIS.exe to your device memory (NOT STORAGE CARD)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*
3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS!!
4. Turn phone back on and let it boot back into your operating system
It sounds like there could be a hardware problem from all the hard resets happening there. Have you made sure that the reset button at the bottom is functioning correctly and isnt blocked by any dirt etc?

I wouldn't complicate things that are more than clear. The intructions literally says the following: 2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*. Just follow them, probably mskip for doing this tutorial spent a lot of time "trial n error". It really won't take anytime to do this step
Yep i follow those steps. I leave the battery out for about 30 seconds as it says. But obviously it hard resets so i can't do this at all as the files aren't there when i put battery back in. I have to set up the phone again.
I suppose i could just flash the stock rom, then see if that works when i remove the battery and then i can update the SPL? soft reset isn't blocked by dirt either.
If that fails i'm stuck with a bad phone

Well yeah... if you had read it all you would know that you are meant to be doing all of this using a stock rom on your device. There's your problem right there.
If you already have hard spl on your phone so you don't need to go through all the steps of flashing hardspl for the first time. Just upgrade the easy way from the SD card.
I have had 3.29 on my phone and have flashed over a hundred times with never a problem, including Ultimate several times. Just try flashing a stock rom first and then Ultimate. Then hard rest and then setup the rom. If i works great, if nt then you can always upgrade your spl later.
Stuntdouble, theres no need to be like that, some people are new to this, and if you had read my previous posts you'll see that i didn't flash to stock rom first, because i'd just got it from the shop, so the stock ROM was already on it. I didn't think i needed to flash it with the same one again first. Thanks for the help though everyone, I've now flashed stock rom, and gonna try ultimate again/
Sorry, but the amount of people on here who don't actually read FAQ's/Stickies before flashing their device don't get much sympathy from me. I think people underestimate the risks involved when flashing for the 1st time. However i've been having a bad day so I apologise for snapping.
Yeah no worries, it annoys me too when there are tutorials yet people can't be bothered and just post asking how to do something. But the only reason i didn't flash a stock ROM was because i got it from the shop so didn't think i needed too.
There is something i would like to know though that i can't find how to do. I'm trying to install 3.34 Hard SPL now, i have 3.29 at the mo. I don't have a card reader unforunatley so can't format my card to FAT32 like it says to if installing from card.
Is there an easy way to upgrade it other than using storage card? Or can i do the same steps as when i first did it. i.e, run the JumpSPL 1.56 but instead of opening the 3.29 KaiserCustomRUU, i open the 3.34 Kaisercustomruu?
I apologise if this info is anywhere, but i've read all the faqs and searched google and can't seem to find a guide on upgrading SPL from 3.29, it only tells you how to first install 3.29.
Thanks.
Off with their heads!
Ok i ran JumpSPL 1.56 and then ran the KaiserCustomRUU of the 3.34 Hard SPL, now when booting i get the dragon spaslh screen, but when i go to bootloader, it still says 1.29.
What am i doing wrong?
Fixed this now, thanks for everyones help appretiated
