Will Hard SPL permanently stay even after...ROM Flashing/Hard Reset?

Here are my questions:
1) Will Hard SPL permanently stay even after...ROM Flashing/Hard Reset?
(I prefer it to stay because I don't want to reinstall after every new custom ROM)
2) If I update to ITJE's awesome Touch-IT V5 ROM, can I go back to the R2A firmware simply using SEUS? (Meaning I don't have to backup my ROM to revert back)
Thank you for your time.

yes to number 1 not sure about number 2

No to number 2 *****BUT NO NEED****
****You can simply download your rom image from PavelsX1 ROMS Thread and flash with this one just rename it to KOVSIMG.nbh and copy to root MicroSd******
Hope i helped you

So are you telling me that in order to use SEUS to update to firmware R3A once it comes out, I would need to reinstall SPL (the original SPL)?
So...if I reinstall Stock SPL (the original SPL for warranty reason), will I be able to use SEUS to update to official ROM R3A (while my X1a is using Touch-IT v5.04)?

No, first you should go back to the Official ROM ie. R2A and then reinstall StockSPL in order to get the R3A via SEUS

I'm loving touch it
the thread is currently closed but right now it's running so fast xperia and eveyrything I only dont know why for instance if I talk and my ear is touching the screen this notification tab always pops out or if I try to click on the battery status on the main page it always pops out do you get that too?

what a load if sillyness.
Yes SPL should stick. there's some instances where it may get overwritten by a stockspl I think, (if a released rom has a newer version) but it's pretty unlikely.
no you don't need to change the SPL to go back to using SEUS
It should allow you to flash the latest straight away, I've done it a few times. However if you want a specific locale or language version then it would be a good idea to flash the correct rom from Pavels thread.

Currently I'm using Touch-IT WM6.5 Beta 2.0, I've tried to get update via SEUS without get back to Official ROM or StockSPL, as you said, but it seems the SEUS didn't recognize my X1, my X1 just freez at the Bootloader screen & the SEUS just in the Identifying Process without any ending. And at the second time I tried it, the SEUS just freez at the "Follow the Instructions below" screen.
Are you sure with what you've done Fards?

im certain.
I've done it a couple of times now. some people seem to have issues with seus,even from stock rom.
have you got a different computer you could try it on?
have you tried putting the x1 in bootloader mode first to see if it makes a difference?
reading the 6.5 thread it seems some people are having issues with flashing other roms afterwards, so maybe that's connected, if so then try one of the released stock roms first ?

I haven't tried with another computer Fards, I was using my laptop which ever successfull upgrade my X1 from R1A to R2A using SEUS and even just for check for updates without any errors (I've done it a couple times when using official ROM). I'll give a try with another one if I've time, but I'm not sure it's my computer issue.
Certainly I'm always putting the X1 in bootloader fisrt before connect it to PC and continue the SEUS process.
Have you ever tried this WM6.5 ROM to get update using SEUS successfully?
Thanks for ur time Fards..

How to restore to original?

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?

firstly you must Hard SPL 1.56 Olinex
secondly flashing your rom

And restore with SPL 1.13 I assume?

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.
R1.13.25.24 - Radio Version

Same problem here, im bringing it back to the T-mobile store today, the original rom should be enough right?
Flashing SPL back to original atm, see what happens with SEUS now.

Hi all...
I own a community in one social network, and i'm responsible for bringing them solutions, my doubt is: if i revert the x1 to the original rom and SPL, will I still be able to hardSPL it again to use custom roms again or is there any problem?

As I have understood, first you have a "virgin" phone:
1) Stock ROM, stock SPL - can only flash Stock ROM
2) Flash HardSPL - after that can flash any ROM
If you need to bring it back to SE:
1) Flash stock ROM
2) Flash stock SPL - it is important to do it in that order, first back to Stock ROM, then back to stock SPL.
After getting your phone back from repairs:
1) You can flash HardSPL again, to be able to flash any ROM (both custom and stock)

ok thanks, if there is any problem i'll do this...

Potentially Broken T.HD - Need help!

Hi All,
I have used the search function - but ended up getting confused.
I have a Touch HD that I bought in January of this year (2009) from Mobiles.co.uk (Carphone Warehouse) and is on the O2 network (UK).
I have been using Dutty's ROMs (both 6.1 and 6.5) for months now - and have always used USPL when flashing, using the SD card method.
Over the past 3 days, my HD has been playing up.
When it started, I was using Dutty's R7. The radio was 1.14.something.something. The device was working perfectly, and I was really happy with the ROM and the way the phone was working. I had installed NO other applications with the exception of a different taskbar and obviously SDKCerts.cab
First of all, HTC Sense stopped working - it would cycle between "Loading HTC Sense" and "Tap here to launch HTC Sense"
Then, when rebooting the device, it just hung on the "Smart Mobility" screen. I left it in case it just needed a while to boot, but nothing.
I had no other option than to hard reset.
It worked OK for a few hours, but then HTC Sense started to crash again. So I flashed a new ROM - Lost in Asia or whatever it is called.
Same symptoms.
I flashed Dutty's R7 back and also the new 1.17 radio.
No joy.
The phone also hangs for ages on the Smart Mobility screen - perhaps a full minute where as before, it used to be no more than 15 seconds or so.
The following is displayed on the "Smart Mobility Screen"
1.17.25.09
52.69.25.37H
1.59.Dutty
The bootloader screen (before running USPL) shows the following:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) V6
So the question I'm asking - is... Is my phone suffering some kind of hardware malfunction, or is this a known and fixable fault that I somehow have caused?
If the phone looks like it is malfunctioning, how would I go about returning it to stock so that the CPWH repair centre do not know it's had an unofficial ROM installed?
I'd like to add that whilst I'm very PC literate, I'm no programmer and a lot of the stuff here is alien to me hence my confusion - I just know how to flash a new ROM etc.
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help me - I'd be really thankful to anyone that helps me sort this - be it tell me how to fix the device, or tells me to take it back!
Thanks in advance & Regards,
Chris.

Will D/L and flash Dutty's R0 Holy Grail ROM and see if that makes a difference...

If you've been using uspl than it will still be the stock spl and thus you could try to load the stock rom from htc.com specially designed for the touch hd(blackstone). I've read and heard from a lot of people that after flashing several roms and even hard resetting afterwards, some bits and pieces stay behind and flashing an original stock rom will undo this. I don't think it's a radio issue. And another big thing if you use dutty R7 that's a 1.56+ rom so you should have the right uspl olinex software to load these roms, if you used older software then problems with colouring and other things will appear.

Thanks for the quick reply.
So is it perhaps better to revert to the original ROM before flashing a cooked ROM? I always Hard Reset twice after flashing as understand this helps.
OK - so the 1.56+ situation - I was under the impression that using the latest USPL (2.5) when flashing was OK? I have never had the colour problem... but perhaps if I'm flashing wrong then these problems could be to do with this?
Thanks again...

The Sense Manila has known bug that you need to press home to load it (sometimes).
For you case, I would suggest you to clean up your SD Card.
there may be several file that cause your system to freeze.
So, format your SD, hard reset.. and cross fingers.

Yes, It is better to revert to the original rom once in a while before flashing a new rom, if u used the latest uspl and the colours are ok, then you've done that right and it will probably be bits and pieces of old flashed roms floating around on the device.
Best to revert to stock rom and hard reset twice.
Afterwards flash the rom u want. If everything works again. U could hspl instead of uspl, hspl is more stable if u ask me. And you can go back to stock spl if you have waranty issues. there's a tut on that to in the rom section.

I forgot to mention - that was one of the things I did. Previously, I had loads of email folders from all the ROM installs.
Now I have a folder containing the useful CAB files that I need, and the ROM image file. Thats it.
It's only a 1gb card as my 8gb card gave up the ghost.
Thanks for the suggestion though and my apologies for not mentioning this in the initial post.
From reading the Dummies guide, am I right in thinking that in order to use a 1.55+ ROM (such as Dutty's Holy Grail R0) I only need to run USPL and then flash (as opposed to flash a newer SPL) as my stock SPL is already 1.54?

Thanks for this - I didnt realise the device would retain bits and bobs, and you may well be right in that things are getting corrupted in there!
Which is the best stock ROM to flash - is there a link to one? I looked on the Wiki and there seem to be loads... which will work on a UK T8282?!
Thanks again!

what do you mean hang for age?
1 minute is nothing if it turns out boot up.
There are chances that the nand flash needs to refresh and wasted some times. But it won't be forever.

there's an original rom on htc.com for blackstone just use that one.
hope it will turn out right for you

I thought I'm the only one who had this problem. Last Sunday my blackstone started to freeze on the smart mobility screen too. I flash 3 different roms because I thought its an rom issue with no luck. On Monday it even managed to hardreset itself after I waited for about 15 min in the smart mobility screen.
After that I flashed a stock rom and it seem to be fine by now.
But now I will flash a custom again, the stock one is so 6.1

I've flashed my X1 with hardSPL and back to stock SPL a number of times, never without succes. From 0.720000 to 0.72Olinex to 0.720000 and from 0.780000 to 0.72Olinex.
So when you can't hardSPL from your pc there must be something wrong with the connection between pc and X1.
If you want a newer ROM with stock SPL, connect your phone with stock SPL 0.720000 to SEUS and SEUS will automatically update SPL to 0.780000. After that you can flash R3A ROM.
The other way through hardSPL and the manual download of R3A from PavelX1's sticky.

I tried restore my software using SEUS but it says that I already have the lastes software (but I have ENERGY ROM 6.5)
the past version of SEUS had an option to flash again but the new one doesnt have.
CAN someone help ???

Download you stock ROM from PavelX1's sticky thread and flash it...

Tnx you saved me from hours of searching

Hi Lokhato,....
thankx for the advice,... if ou wont tell me about the SEUS, sure my X1 i declared it DEAD!!! I was accidently HardSPL it to 0.72.0000 i think...., because of i tried so many times to HardSPL the OLinexSPL to my X1 but it aint workin. but then when i replace the RUU_signed.nbh that got version 0.72.0000stockSPL it worked AND THEN it STUCKED at the boot screen says that please wait, continue to upgrade ROM.... damn i resolved it...
so my step on recover to the latest stock SPL 0.78.00 are like this,...
1. download the SEUS from XPERIA website.
2. try to READ and FOLLOW the instruction stepbystep. even whenever the application ask you to restart the PC/LAPTOP, please make it done so....
3. whenever SEUS asked u to enter the bootscreen, MAKE SURE you take out the SD out from your phone. and let the SEUS flash the OriSPLver 0.78.0000
4. then it blinks several times after the progress bar finished, and it also stucked at bootscreen saying to continue updating ROM.
5. in this situation, please flash back your ROM with ROM UK_GEN_R3AA010 not the R1 or R2 ROM. so to manually flash the R3 ROM, copy the R3 image file to your freshed format SD and named it kovsimg.nbh
6. so put the SD in X1 and soft reset the X1 by pressing the reset button with your stylus at the back panel of X1.
7. let it load the image whenever it enter the boot screen again
8. press the power button to confirm upgrade ROM.
9. it should state there SUCCESS!! and you must HARD-RESET the X1.
9. waitt...... and wait...... be very patient, take a break... let it run.....
10. you are DONE!!
enjoy your original flashed ROM,...
if you not like it,
from this point you can just simply HardSPL it to 0.72Olinex by downloading the X1_HardSPL_v1.zip
then go get another ROM and repeat step 5.
as my observation...
SPL 0.72.0000 can flash img from R1,
R2 I dunno can flash or not, never try it...
SPL 0.78.0000 can flash img from R3
HardSPL it to OLinex ver 0.72OLinex ver, then you r good to go to flash any ROM you like!!
damn what a hard week!!! at last i got it to flash the HardSPL on my X1
last but not least.... just want you all to know that i was doing those step above from my mom's laptop current spec was CentrinoDuo, mine that always hanging whenever try to flash any SPL was on SempronAMD Laptop + always BlueScreen error even after i freshed repair my .NetFramework ver3.5sp1. so if you facing any problem on SPL our X1, try to done the upgrading on another PC/laptop, i believe that Intel based processor was more stable than AMD i think...

Don't know if you can use the SD-card flash method when on stock SPL.
A couple of things to know:
0.720000 is stock SPL
0.780000 is an updated stock SPL
0.72Olinex is hardSPL
Did you try to flash with CustomRUU instead of sdcard? I attached it to this post, just unpack and place the ROM you want to flash in the same folder. You can find the ROMs in PavelX1's sticky.
What does your bootloader say now? And you can't boot your phone?

but
- last time my original 0.78.0000 cant do HardSPL
- after accidently flash the 0.72.0000 by using RUU but at the same time i copy the stock0.72 SPL to RUU folder,,,... or my mistaken to copy to SD also by renaming it to kovsimg.nbh i think, just cant remember at that time, and still cant HardSPL + hangging somemore....
- after SEUS updates to newer stock SPL 0.78.0000 like before it was very easy to HardSPL with 0.72OLinex..... wonder y.....
hmmm... CustomRUU??... i think if i try that method would always get the ERROR code rather then success huhuhuuu....
for now i just stick to flashing ROM using Nokia SD 256Mb if the img can fit it in....
thank you so much anyway bro...
u da man!!!!

sorry i miss out to answer this...
my bootloader shows SPL-0.72 Olinex
already flash some of software img like firestorm... nrg... but still cant suit me, now just flash back to it original state WM6.1.....
you got any suggestion about the best,smooth,cool&light ROM for me??
another thing i noticed that, the ROM that been cooked doesnt seems have Xpanel.cab installed, so that our X button panel will be useless, or did i miss something? huhuhuuuu

Several roms do have panel manager installed so there is a use for the X Button
in case it is not cooked in you can add it manually. Also XMapper is available for alternative uses of the button...
Finally, if Silent_UC is supported by the rom you can bulk install many apps, registry edits, etc. after flashing the rom or afterwards. Just search...

hardSPL can be done without a problem from 0.780000. I did it several times after I brought it to repairs.
In post #5 in the EnergyROM thread you can find a link on how to install the panelmanager, from R3A and X2. This works with all roms which don't have the panelmanager installed.

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

I am very happy now! Just managed to update my SE X1 after SEUS 0.78!. As others suggested downloaded R3AA010 (APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010), but used NBHUtil to extract ROM. That was a mistake! I simply renamed R3AA010 to Kovsimg and put it in my SD 2 Gb card. Ufff, after 2 weeks of endless reading the forums and thying this and that... Finally!!!!
