A few questions:
my diamond (mda compact iv) is hard resetting everytime i soft reset after installing the gen.y r5.5 sense 2.1 rom. i have hardspl 1.4.
i've spent all day today ****ing around with the phone. i think my next step is to try flashing an official phone, hard reset, then reflash a different rom, then hard reset again.
1: since it was originally a t-mobile branded mda compact iv, do i need to find the original t-mobile rom or can i just flash any official htc 6.1 rom?
2: do i need return all the spl, radio to the original as well before i flash to an official rom?
thanks.
Hi, since you have hard spl, you can flash any official diamond rom. You don't need to revert spl, or to change the radio. If the official rom has radio inside it will be flashed.

I have a problem with my Diamond, HTC USB Sync Drivers which i downloaded
wouldn't work, i can't extracted them. No archives found????
Hi and welcome to xda , what is the os on your pc. From what I remember the hotsync drivers were installed automatically. Try to download the rom again, maybe the RUU was toasted.

Hey Guys,
sorry, I´m searching the whole time after how to flash just an spl, for an extracting I used the NBH util.
My plan:
1) I want to flash my O2 branded Diamond, without flashing a hardSPL.
2) As I understood, it´s possible just to extract an SPL from the newest HTC rom, and flashing this with DiamondCustomRUU in the first step.
3) After this I should have the possibility to flash a full HTC Rom?
Are there any misunderstandings? because I can´t flash the extracted SPL with DiamondCustomRUU.exe.
What did I wrong, and what should I do?
Cheers, Chris
No one any idea???????????????????????
it might be possible to do this!
but you have to be careful not to get device ID/version different on both the OS or the SPL!
but why not just put hard spl and then revert back to stock SPL when you want to at a later stage! all versions of the stock SPL are availble on the rom developement forum
I recently upgraded to the official HTC 1.56 ROM.
Flashed it as I normally do via the microSD card. Everything seemed to be fine but once I got the boot screen the colors went from white to teal colored. Even the boot up image is teal colored.
Once the ROM boots up the color issue is still there.
If I turn off the backlight and then turn it back on the colors go back to normal with no issues. If I soft reset it will go back to the weird color issue again. I have tried flashing 3 other ROMs....the official shipped ROM that came with my device and other ROMs as well.
Anybody else ever heard of something like this or have a problem such as this before.
Any advice help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I assume this is a hardware related issue or maybe SPL?
Here we go. I Just have had the same issue. I was in HSPL before. I changed to USPL and flashed 1.56 based ROM by Laurentius, in beta testing. Everything was fine. I decided to try Davidhuck 6.5 v7 ROM, and after flashing in USPL mode I had the same problem. Now I'm trying tp flash another ROM.
I have had the same since upgrading to new official HTC rom.
you need to remove hspl by restoring your original stock spl before flashing rom 1.56 so your spl can upgrade to 1.54. see the rom 1.56 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583

Wow thank you for this. Does anybody happen to have the SPL 1.54 as a standalone. I will be unable to flash the ROM without hardSPL.
Invalid vendor ID 294.
I used uspl 2.5 after I restored stock spl, has worked ok for me several times but its a risky flash according to the uspl thread, use at your own risk
It's not a metter of reverting back to 1.14 or 1.54 stock...
I did this operation the very first time to get Original Stock SPL 1.14:
Instruction one more time to flash to my latest rom.
1) Flash stock rom to get stock spl:

The moment I tried to flash a different rom, a wm 6.5 based, I had the problem.
try going back to spl 1.14 / hspl for the wm6.5 roms. need to match the roms to the corresponding spl's now
@pw120
The miri WM6.5 v.7.2 is based on 1.56 rom...it should match new SPL...but I still have the same issue...
Now I flashed the stock 1.56 and the weird color issue has gone. Uhm...it should be related to WM 6.5 ROM. Now I will flash once again a 6.1 coocked rom based on 1.56 and see what happens...
Problem fixed.
thanks guys.
1.) Revert to original SPL
2.) Flash USPL 2.5
3.) Flash 1.56 ROM
4.) Complete.
if anybody else has problems with this just hit me up on MSN at [email protected] or via PM.
@AllTheWay
The problem is not fixed for me. I did that procedure 3 days ago and then I installed last Laurentius Beta ROM which is 1.56 one. The problem occured when I decided to flash some WM 6.5 ROM and also last 6.1 Davidhuck. Now I'm flashing back Laurentius beta to see what happen...
some cooked roms based on 1.56 have changed one of the .dll files so they work with old spl and hspl
@ PW 120
U r veru right! This is the problem! So to all coockers please
SPECIFY IF YOUR ROM ARE FULL 1.56 BASED OR NOT...

Flashing stock ROM won't give you stock SPL if you had already flashed new ROM with 1.54 SPL. You have to flash stock SPL separately to get back to it. Had colour screen problem with stock ROM and realised I still had 1.54 SPL from upgrading newer ROM. Flashing 1.14 SPL the risky way with USPL solved the problem for me.
Same problem after NEW WWE 1.56.401.1 ROM
I just Reflash with OLD Europe 1.14.401.2 ROM from WIKI
All is OK now,
no colour screen problem and the 1.14 SPL is back to my HD

Well, I falshed stock ROM when I was HSPL in order to get original 1.14. Now I'm with 1.54. I suppose that if I would go back to 1.14 and than HSPL, I should follow a different procedure that, as are you telling me, couldn't be the simply flashing 1.14 original stock.
The problem of wired color under 1.56, is that the most of the ROM avaible are designed for lower SPL, and also the one which are based on 1.56, were modified by replacing a dll file which allow all people with 1.14 HSPL device to flash every rom. ATM I'm running a beta ROM by Laurentius which is "full" 1.56 and I have no problem. So, once you upgrade to 1.56 and flash with USPL (since HSPL for 1.54 is still not avaible), if yuu want to flash all the rest of the rom you have to downgrade to 1.14 spl:
* Download an older stock ROM for your CID (region/operator)
* Flash ROM (to downgrade SPL)
* Install HardSPL
The problem is that for a period we will have this double way in ROM coocking, one with full 1.56 base and another one with a 1.56 modified dll. All coockers should point out when a new rom will be released, if it is for HSPL 1.14 or USPL 1.56.
...at least I think this is the problem...

Hmm...
Here's what I did:
Had HardSPL, flashed to original rom with original SPL.
Then upgraded to original 1.56 without problems.
When I now use USPL to flash cooked ROMs based on 1.56 (like Miri's 7.2), I get the green screen until I turn the screen off and back on again.
Is this fixed by flashing the original 1.56 from USPL? Sounds a bit weird to me.

You sure that 7.2 is based on 1.56 ?
"* [ROM][WWE][11.04.2009] Miri WM 6.5 21500 :: V 7.2 [ONLINE]
This ROM is based on Windows Mobile 6.5 build 21500." first post of his thread
The way I see it is once you have 1.56 you can't flash cooked roms with out getting the color issue.
I think the exeptions are roms based on 1.56 as they have the correct version and combination of disptools.dll.
Now you dont want a stock rom so why would you still need SPL 1.54 on your decvice were you can run the risk of the color issue.
Would not a down grade of the SPL to 1.14 be enough for you to flash any rom as you did in the past (HSPL, USPL).
Now what I am not sure about is if you downgrade SPL 1.54 to 1.14 and still have a 1.56 rom installed will you get color issues ???
As allways info taken out of this wiki page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Rom156
@fjevel
Miri's 7.2 is not a full 1.56 based rom. He should have modifed a dll in order to make it run under 1.14 HSPL device. To have it to work correctly you should flash a full 1.56 ROM, like stock one or Leo Beta I'm currently testing.
Guys,
I have currently Duttys HD 2.8 installed which is pretty perfect but my HD has problems with reception (drops call during calling, etc.). So I assume Hardware failure and need to go back to German Stock Rom.
The issue is now that there is no new German Romupdate yet and SPL is 1.14 (or 1.15).
How can I go back to this stock Rom. When I install it with SPL 1.56 it will not work I assume.
Any ideas?
cheers
chefffe
the german shipped rom should match your phone.
You shouldn't need anything except the shipped setup.
Have you tried it yet?
If you have Duttys V2.8, use USPL to flash to original stock rom
EDIT
More info can be found here
but will the installed SPL 1.56 work with an old german Rom (after Rom flash with using USPL 2.5)?
As far I understood old Rom need also old SPL Version?
you must have flashed back to spl 1.14 in order to install duttys rom. uspl is only temporarily for one flash procedure. you keep spl 1.14
so the only thing to do is to flash your stock rom. that´s all

no .. thats exactly the problem! with duttys 2.8 you need first flash back to 1.14 but then to install spl 1.56 which i have currently installed. i think this new spl will not work with old stock german rom.

Are you sure the reception problems derive from the ROM? Maybe you have to try a different radio!

When you flashed to Dutty's 2.8 you had to have an SPL v 1.14 and then install an original HTC 1.56 rom. During this process it upgraded your SPL to v 1.54. If you now want to downgrade to an older HTC German rom that is not based on SPL v 1.54 all you need to do is download said rom and install it after running USPL.
You can check this by placing your phone in the bootloader right now (turn it off. hold volume down button while pressing power on button). It should say SPL 1.54.0000. If it does then all you need to do is run USPL and then whatever rom you want to load. When you load the older stock German rom it will replace your current SPL with the one from that rom. I have yet to see an original / stock HTC rom that does not include the SPL in it. And if you check the Blackstone Wiki these are the instructions...

Like MAMeingast said, have you tried flashing another radio? You should try running USPL and flashing the radio you were using before Dutty's 2.8 first in my opinion... and see how this works!
I tried 3 different Radios.
The very strange thing now is, that I flashed the new wwe update rom (with spl 1.56). Then it worked pretty normal. So I flashed back Duttys (because much better) and have the same problems again. I flashed now again back to wwe and for the last 4-5 hours I have normal reception ???
Thats really weird because I thought Dutty is using the same 1.13.25.24. or even more strange if the radio is not changed with his rom.

Dutty's rom does not include the radio but it may be changing the rilphone.dll! I'm not sure. But it's still weird because if you flash the WWE 1.56 rom and then Dutty's all should be well and good.
I need to revert my last info. Also with the 1.56 wwe Stock Rom my Phone is not working properly. I tested now 6hours and it was several times not reachable although I had full reception. I think my HD is really broken .. **** ...
Therefore I need to install the old german stock Rom with SPL 1.14.
I still dont have a clue how to do that

It's actually quite easy! Do you still have the stock German HTC ROM with SPL 1.14? If not, download it again. Put your phone in bootloader, run USPL, and load the stock German HTC rom. That's it! You can verify your SPL reverting back from 1.54 to 1.14 by going into the bootloader afterwards.
exactly thats it. I didnt thought that spl 1.14 is also included in this rom so I was a bit afraid. But I tried and it worked without problem. Thanks man ;-)

So your phone worked fine with the stock rom?
i´m with german e-plus provider and have to assume poor recepion qualities with my touch hd, either stock or custom rom / radio roms ...
only thing that helped was disabling 3g - back to 56k internet
So: did you reflash work? Phone usable again?
can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?
if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.
End of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1.
Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.

I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that
According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.
As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed
Hi,
I have a Dutch Touch Pro2 (unbranded) which I would like to return for warranty (some buttons on the keyboard aren't functioning properly) and I don't know much about SPL...
I've flashed the stock HTC Touch Pro2 ROM which I found at the HTC website. Now is my question:
Should I also flash back a stock SPL or is that included in the stock rom?
If not, where could I find it, and how should I flash it back?
Greetings,
Job
you have to flash "stock" hardspl back. I know as much as you about hardspl, sorry i couldn't be of more help :\
Yes, it does contain the SPL.
HardSPL by OliNex does contain a black, so the SPL doesn't get changed.
