Hello everybody,
I'm new here, so I don't know if my topic is in the right forum or something. My English isn't also really perfect. Nevertheless I hope you can help me.
Two questions;
1.
I have a HTC HD here which is of a friend of mine. He bought it from someone else (not in a shop).
His HD was acting weird last days. So he went to the shop where the former owner bought this handset. The shop sent the HD to a repaircenter, but the repaircenter returned the phone with the message that they found a non official rom, so they didn't repair it.
I'm not very familiar with customroms from XDA(right name or not?). Apparently the former owner installed the non-official rom. I downloaded and installed an official rom from htc.com.
The phone is having the same problems, but currently with a official rom.
My question is;
Are there still any traces or certain indications that there was a non-official rom installed? So the repaircenter won't detect a non-official rom or any trace of it?
I installed an official rom so are the traces overwrited, or not?
2.
If I navigate to ''System info'' and choose the tab ''Identification'' I see three items, including Imei. This Touch HD displays ''Not supported'' at Imei? That isn't normal, any idea why it displays ''not supported?''
Thank you in advance!!
If you have any questions, please ask them!
You say his phone is acting weird, but what exactly is it doing wrong?
Is it struggling to get connection to the network? Does it keep crashing? Does the picture go all scrambled like an encrypted satellite channel?
I don't know quite why it would say "Not supported" next to the IMEI in device information, but it does sound like something isn't quite right about the handset.
How long has your friend had the handset? I'd be inclined to get in touch with who he/she bought it from and ask what has been done with the handset. The IMEI field should never say "not supported" under any circumstances unless some attempt to modify the IMEI has happened and it's gone wrong.
Do you know if the IMEI was present in this screen with the custom ROM previously flashed on the phone?
@any HSPL users - if a user flashed a stock ROM onto a handset which had a custom SPL on (like Olinex's HSPL), could this cause issues like this? (I'm a USPL user, so wouldn't know).
You are correct. This is the wrong forum. Go with your initial feeling.

Thank you very much for your respond!
-With acting weird i meant that during the start-up of the device the graphic are really bad, weird colours etc.
-And the phone doesn't want to turn in the phonemodus, you can select on but nothing happens. If you try to turn off the flightmodus, also nothing happens.
-Phone reboots by itselfs
-Phonesoftware gets stock (right wordchoise?)
With the custom rom the imei ''not supported'' message was already there..

Please take some time to read the "sticky" topics.
On a first glance, it sounds like there is a mismatch between your USPL/HSPL and the ROM flashed.
Modern 1.56 ROMs require OliNex HSPL/USPL 1.56 to function properly, otherwise you get a lot of screen and graphics issues and phone malfunctions.
In the sticky threads you can find advice how to fix your HSPL (or USPL, which one you prefer to use - HSPL is "hard" and you need to apply it only once and flash hundreds of times afterwards, while USPL is "soft" and it has to ber repeated before every flash)
In the same sticky threads, you can also find full instructions how to reflash your phone to the original state as it was when it came from the factory.
If you do so, nobody at the repair centre will be able to see the phone has ever been changed or mesed with.
It is possible to remove all traces of flashing, just check the "sticky" threads on the top of the threads list and there is a lot of step-by-step advice.

All this means, that phone was simply flashed in wrong sequence - please read HERE and do exactly what is said - if all weird thing are just those you wrote, your phone is fine

Please do some read from sticky, written by Digital Outcast. It will help you. By the way, there is nothing wrong between HSPL and HD IMEI. I've been using HSPL and I have no problem with my IMEI.

You English couldn't be more "perfect"!.........BRAVO
Thank you all for so far. I'm reading the guides where you linked to. Currently I'm in the bootloader of this HD. In the red area I see the following information (in yellow letters):
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.14. OLINEX
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
Can somebody tell me if there is HSPL or USPL version loaded on this phone?
No matters what the answer is, how can you see if this is an orginal SPL or not?
Thank you a lot you are really great with helping me!

I believe you are here:
If you wish to use USPL and it shows your current SPL as:
* Anything but 1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL1) on post 3
That's right, but that guide isn't useful in my case, I think, because I just need to know if there is a HSPL or USPL loaded on the phone. If there is I want to restore the orginal one and don't need a guide which explains how to install a H/U SPL.
So I don't know if there is (or how to see if) a HSPL or USPL is loaded on the phone I ask you guys for help.
I already found some *can't post the link, getting an error* about restoring. But I still need to know if I already have an orginal SPL or not. So please help me
Correct me if I'm wrong. (this is the first time I get in touch with, HSPL, USPL, custom roms etc,)
Agree with posts above. Follow the dummies guide and you should be fine. Post further responses in that thread

Hey guys, i just went from davidukes custom rom to a stock rom because i need to send phone into HTC, but now that i downgraded, the colors on the screen are all messed up, can someone please help me
This happens to me after I upgraded my radio. Press the power button once (sleep mode) and then press it to turn on the screen and see whether it helps. For me that's the way (the color returns to normal) and I will have to live with it everytime it is soft-reset/rebooted.

you need to follow the guide to restore your stock SPL. if it's a UK HD, i believe it SPL 1.14. anyway, click the "Restore Stock SPL" link in my signature for instructions.
@exlixx - what you describe is NOT normal. based on your description of the problem, seems you didn't upgrade your SPL; especially if you're using one of the new ROMs. if this is the case, check out the "Fix Greenscreens" guide to correct your problem.
how would i know which one i need, i bought it in USA and it came with an English rom so i would need WWE, but there are several ones...
RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.57.831.1_Radio_52.64.25.34_1.14.25.24_Ship.exe

RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
all of these could be possibilities but... i dont know wat HKCSL means so maybe thats an abriviation for a country therefore i wouldnt need it, same goes for AFK... not sure which one i need even from the regular ones, my serial number is HT916KD***87 maybe you guys can tell me by my serial number
because right now i downloaded and have installed this one
http://www.filestube.com/b8b2b346f76b05d203e9,g/HTC-Stock-ROM-BLACKSTONE-1-14-401-3-22273-WWE.html
but my screen is still messed up, and i already installed Restore_Stock_SPL_114_2.zip as well
just do some research using the model number (on the retail box), goto HTC's website and try to download a ROM using your serial number. did you buy from a retailer or person? is the model number T8282 or T8285? if you go into bootloader mode and and if you see BLAC100 it's a UK version, BLAC120 it's a Telstra HD. UK=1.14 SPL and Telstra =1.15 SPL. i suggest retracing your steps to ensure you didn't miss anything, e.g., doing something out of order. good luck!

May be u downgraded to the wrong stock SPL.
if u dont know do a hit and trial of all spl's starting from 1.14.00000.
Some one will surely work fine for u..
Do we really need another thread for this. Been discussed on many forums before. Just requires research. Use links provided by Cortez.i and post your queries within that thread. Abide by forum rules.
Check your SPL, what rom are you using. According to flashing guide do you have correct SPL for rom your using? If not you will experience this discolourization. Already a section on this in the wiki.

Good Morning all,
Hope everyone is well. I realise that I am probably repeating a post somewhere and apologise profusely for that.
However my request is quite urgent. I have my phone flashed with Dutty's 4.1 using the step by step guide to update radio and ROM etc etc.
My touchscreen has now started playing silly buggars and as such tomorrow it gets picked up by UPS UK to disappear off to be looked at. Obviously I do not think they will take it to well if it still has duttys on there
So just so I make sure I get eveything right.... can someone just drop me a link to the correct files for a stock flash back to the way things should be.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you

To add an update, the boot loader screen shows:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
Micro-Blackstone (LED) v6
Thought this might help in finding out how much work to stock?
I Think u need the original rom... or a htc one from the website?? ... can it not be downloaded from the htc website?? i may be wrong
I do but also need to make sure I do an original spl and radio as well
first off go to htc.com and download the romupgrade thats on that side (ive non is on the side check the wiki for youre countryrom)
then flash that one and se ive radio comes with it
ive not flash radio 13.**.**.**
then from the hard spl thread there a tut how t make youre spl stock again and youre finished
This is the last official ROM with 1.56 spl and 1.13 radio

Ok, thanks for all your assistance. Just qiuck one, Once I have done all this how can I check it has all worked. Obviously the boot loader shows the SPL, and the ROM is whatever installed. Where will it display the current radio so I can check that too?

At boot it shows, just restart your device and look at the red text in the bottom right corner, there it will show your current radio version.
Could also see it in device info when the device is on but dunno if you still can considering you need to return it.

Thanks to all help, radio is now reading stock as is the 1.56 spl all installed from latest ROM from HTC so also stock.
UPS collect tomorrow and with any luck they will return a working touchscreen and I can continue where I left off
anyone noticed lots of these requests....? where they flash then the touch screen stops working?
wtf......
I noticed these threads after the 1.17 radio but some users haven't upgraded to that radio and it happend to them.
i'm looking to stay on my rom until something more is found out about this.....
Curious????

I also have read a couple of these help requests and the same problem, but what could it be, is it the windows mobile 6.5 builds that are doing this (not blaming the chef's in anyway), or some conflict with the spl... have to investigate this more...

Hi, can someone (Admin) change the title of this thread from Returning to Stock for repair! to Having screen problems after changing the rom?
I think the first is solved and now we have this new problem in hand.
best regards
+1
i've had the problem with a cooked french rom (Pyrana V17C). My screen started to freeze for a few seconds. During that time, when I put the finger on the screen and slide, the screen follows the move but it comes back to where it first was, ant the move is finally not taken in consideration ... it looks like the screen is an elastic...
So it did it sometimes and it lasted a few seconds first, and then, a couple af days later, it was more often, and I had to soft reset everytime, and yesterday, I finally had to hard reset to take back the hand, and the bug came back more quickly. So I installed the latest release of this rom this morning and everything seems to be stable since a couple of hour. If it comes back I'll try another rom, but if someone can find a way to set this, that would be perfect ...

Hello out there.....
First of all i have to say THX to all these people which are really willing to help every1 with their great tutorials. Ive used alot of them already. Thanks.
And i have to say sorry for my english language, due Im german and i left school behind long time ago. I'm really taken pains to write this comment.
Now, in my case ive tried to restore my device (Xperia X1i) to OEM status step by step as its shown in this thread.
My worst issue is that my touchscreen aint work anymore after i flashed a custom ROM and that i got stock at the point where the ROM wants to configure the OS like "Tap the screen to continue with configuration".
Ive tried to flash way too much ROMs using HardSPL but the touchscreen wont let me do anything - no reaction.
So how can I restore the bootloader (SPL) on my device, when my touchscreen aint work? How can I take the following step without any working ROM ?
sirsycho said:
12. Run SSPL.KAIS.exe from your phone (make sure you do this on your actual device and not your PC)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do not know what I did wrong, that the screen wont react anymore, but im sure that the SPL is the cause for this disaster.
I'm really desperate couz i already have sent the device to the SE Support, where they told me that there is an "extraneous" on my device although ive flashed the Stock ROM firstly... there was still something that bothered them...
After i got the device back the touchscreen worked again as funny, allthough the support did nothing on the device as they said in the delivery.
A bit skeptical but with alot of happiness i kept on flashing some ROMs after that.
Now, after i found a good ROM and kept this one on my device for some days the screen doesnt work again.....
This is what my bootloader says right now
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.OliNex
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
....seems like the HardSPL is still there......
Honistly i had to apollogize (maybe too late) that this part of using a cellphone (flashing a ROM using HardSPL etc.) is a big fish and that ive underrated it. Now i have a 400$-Device which aint work anymore
Ive read like all Tutorials here at xda-devs containing something about flashing a ROM or informations about SPLs; tried everything
I feel like im lost and fu**ed right now....
Is there any1 can help me with my problem?
Hopefully there is.....i pray for him
first flash a stock rom
then just run the hard-spl exe, and replace the ruu_signed.nbh file
why are you trying to use kaiser spl?
use the things found in the hardspl sticky in the xperia section
Wrong Tutorial
You're using tutorial for wrong device (HTC Kaiser)
The correct tutorial is in first post (extra how to: how to restore Stock SPL for warranty reasons.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
But before restoring original hardspl you should flash with original rom found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
wow thanks for your answers !!
i never thought ill get response.
Its really weird that i havnt found that tut before bcuz i was looking through whole board.
I will try do that tomorrow.
I hope that it will work then. Don't wanna pay 300$ for a new device
Else there is mtty to restore the bootloader
Aight i have done the steps showing in the tutorial.
1. I have flashed teh Stock ROM (R2A german - Vodafone)
2. I've used the RUU with the stockSPL given in that post.
Now my tricolour screen shows the following
Code:
KOVS110
SPL-0.72.0000
MicroP1-787
MicroP2-707
This is what it shall looks like OliNex said.
I hope this is all i had to do, to make use of my device's guarantee, cuz the touchscreen still doesnt work
Seems like i really have to send my Xperia to the Support again (now hopefully with a ROM + SPL they wont reject)
But if i send my device with "extraneous" again i have to pay another 15€ just for let them do a costs estimate -.-
I would like to get a reply before i make use of the support again.
Thanks for all your help
Glad to hear recovering to stock rom + spl worked out.
Your touchscreen doesn't work when you have booted up windows?
If that's correct then I suggest to send in the device for service. Although
it might not help I suggest updating your device with SE updating service (SEUS) first.
After the flash remove the battery for 10 seconds, then turn it on.
Hope it helps and otherwise servicing the device is free of charges
Haha!
That's what im doing right now, using SEUS
Thanks for the tip with the battery but i already tried that way too often
Edit:
Ok, touchscreen still aint work....
Time to contact the support...at 11:45 PM **WOOT
nvm....Ill wait till tomorrow
gn8 and thanks for helping me with my issue ^^
a few days ago I returned my silver X1 for the same issue, my touch screen (digitizer) doesn't work. Then right in front of SE support person, he justed took out the battery and rebooted. Then it worked. The thing is, I did the same thing several times earlier that day and it did NOT worked. I am worrying of getting the same problem again and I only have until november 30th until my 1 year warranty expires. I haven't tried any cooked roms and it is because of warranty purpose. Altough I'm not new to custom roms since I own an Alpine and a Prophet. I've been here for some time now.
The thing that holds me back testing cooked roms on my Xperia is the aftermath if in case my device goes half-dead. I almost always read the restoring on to official roms everytime I get here, but still the thousand dollar spent on my phone's tag price comes with a fear of who's gonna rescue if my phone won't work. And to add that spare parts aren't available here as of the moment. And yes I'm eager and very curious about almost everyone saying cooked 6.5 is faster than stock roms but though I haven't tested it I have to disagree for now on my case basis.
First, my Xperia doesn't come with a carrier lock. It's locally called "open line" in my country I guess technically called debranding. Then my phone has the generic r3a rom via seus I think it's generic uk. Lastly, for some reasons, the touchflo 3d doesn't work with my device I've tried it since r1 firmware time. Some response told me to unlock-debrand my phone first but I dont have to since it isn't locked. Still installing tf3d makes my phone hang, doesn't uninstall, doesn't show in the themes list if installed as a theme, and doesn't let me have another panel since it always stay as tf3d whenever I choose another one. And it is very unstable in my device. These happened even if I install it as a panel.
I feel handsets here are faster than handsets that are locked by a carrier so I'm thinking again since for now, my Xperia works for me as stock as it is.
Hi,
My experience today is the motive of me writing this guide to help most of you out of this problem and eliminate the Fear that you will have of you blackstone might gone bad (hardware fault).
ok,
here is what happend to me today.
I had XannyTech Rom flashed on my phone and i really felt i found something interesting about another ROM so i decided to flash that one.
after a smooth flashing, the phone booted and i started syncing using myphone.
left the phone on the desk for a while, came back and found that the device is not responding to the power button, poked that red button and the phone get's stuck at the "smart mobility" screen!!
Hard resetted the phone and started over, again the phone hanged.
i thought that it's maybe a bad flash! so i downloaded the file again and flashed again.
still the same!!!!
decided to go to the old ROM ,
still after a while i get the same result!
notice that i hard resetted after each and every flash!
so what did i do?
[Guide]
Hard Reset the phone, check if it's a software you installed or if it happens even on a pure ROM.
If the problem still exist, Confirm it's not a bad flash! flash again the same ROM.
If you still have the same symtoms, go to HTC website and download the latest OFFICIAL ROM from there.
Run the RUU from your pc (Don't worry about HSPL, it's protected so you will NOT have to HSPL your device again, Thanks olinex)
Test your phone with the new official ROM (in my case -blackstone- it's a 6.1 rom ). Mostly everything will be back to normal.
flash the rom of your choice.
I don't have a real explaination about this (maybe someone with more experience can do) but it works! and even the ROM works faster .
Hope you find this usefull.
Regards,
Adel
I will remember this if it happens to me!
Thank you!
For me, with the HSPL, when I went back to original rom, I had a big problem with color. I flashed to old SPL too, and so, color where good after

Well, I am not sure, but it seems that Official ROMs not only flash your phone, but also "format" it.
You may want to have a look at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290) for more references, but the fact is that "flashing" means issuing some commands to the phone. These commands are all about uploading the ROM data in the appropriate section of the NVRAM/EEPROM (I am not an expert, but I think I am more or less near to reality with such a description).
In the Official ROM's case, more commands are issued and some of these commands "clean" completely your phone, making route for a clean installation and a good one.
I don't know (I am not a cooker, nor an expert) why cookers can't or won't issue those commands in their ROMs, but soon after flashing an official one, you have a "clean" phone that is not affected by random behaviour, due properly to the commands that only official one's issues during the flash.
Hope this may help

Good explaination!
also while i was extracting a shiped ROM i got an unknown nb file which might be responsible for this?
what you have said means that as long as you are flashing a larger sized ROM you should have no problem, but once the new ROM have a smaller size then you will face some issues?!
oh, one more thing.
after formating the phone with the stock ROM, i noticed that it runs much faster (around 15% performance increase) can anyone try flashing shipped ROM then the same one he was using and confirm this?
Hi People
I am not sure whether this is the correct section, but it is still ROM related.
Recently, my phone does not want to wake up sometimes...I press the button and the screen remains black..after few minutes it goes back on but is unresponsive..I have to reset my phone...this is very annoying as for example my alarm also did not sound becuase of this - I was almost late for work...
In conclusion, my 560 EUR phone is not reliable anymore and is still under warranty - I want to have it replaced.
That is where my question comes - How can I completely virginize my phone?
I always used USPL while flashing...
I will perform Task29 and should I flash some stock ROM before I go to give it to service?
If so, what is the appropriate stock ROM for my phone?
What else should I be aware of when virginizing?
Please help me guys, I really want my phone fixed or replaced - it could be the motherboard causing this and I dont want my phone to die...
THANK YOU!!

Dear friend,
first let's know what ROM have you installed on your device? I'm sure the problems that you've mentioned are not hardware problems, and in fact they are related to the ROM, since I have the same problem sometimes with some ROMs and some application. I had problem with alarm clock several times, just after flashing Energy ROMs! I reported this matter, but nobody paid attention, so I downgrade my device to kwbr WM6.1+sense2.1, now I have no problem with alarm clock.
about the another problem, I still have this problem, but I think it is related to WKTask! sometimes when I turn my device off by WKTask shortcut, I encounter the problem that you pointed, but it's not the case if I turn it off by hardware key.
Same question
I have used HSPL
and have tried several roms
Few days back my touchscreen stops responding.
flashed differnet roms but no difference. so i think its a hardware problem
(kinda works sometimes so may be just a loose link)
I want to send it for repair under warranty.. so can someone tell me how to get back to factory settings of Touch HD (German)

Ah, now we have 2 different cases.
1. Flash with USPL
2. Flash with HSPL
I'm almost sure that "virginizing" is described on HD Wiki, but nevermind...
Case 1. is nice and easy...
Go to HTC site and try to find update for your device. Before that, write serial and IMEI (not sure which one is needed, both are under the battery).
If there is "No suitable update", then you are in big trouble... try to find what was original ROM which was on device when it was delivered.
Case 2. is bit difficult... you HAVE TO remove HSPL and restore original SPL, then proceed as described in case 1. I think for german ROM was SPL 1.54
However, I have bought my device recently (with German ROM), but maybe earlier devices had some other SPL...
Check HD Wiki anyway...

Ah... [TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL] has at least one important thing for you: stock SPL...
Thanks Guys...
I didnt think of checking the wiki...
Ill go there, and also do what you suggest...
I guess the issue is not related..I flashed a new ROM from different cook and it happened.
Nevermind...I will virginize and then have it fixed or replaced...
THANKS!!

From my experience, HTC is usually ok as long as the SPL is an official one. No matter the one came with your phone or other older/newer version.

since you just use USPL, you just need download the official ROM from HTC page by inserting your HD serial number under ROM download. then flashed it. it think this step will solve your warranty issue.
