Blackstone, trouble flashing.

Hi, Guys.
I've searched and read every related thread I could find about this, but I'm having no luck.
The details of the phone are:
R:1.14.25.24
G:52.64.25.34H
D:1.59. dutty
I've been trying to put WM6.5 R9 Turbo on it from http://www.duttythroy.net/
It would boot to the point where I'd tap to set up the + points, then I'd set a password etc.. But the graphics were still in 3 color mode, if I turned it off and on again, it'd show the full colours. I've reached the desktop before, with the new pretty icons and reached parts of the rest of the interface, but it jams and is very crashy...
Any ideas guys?
Thanks.

have not looked good ...
for the last rom you have to use HardSPL 1.56
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217

So with my 1.14.25.24 Touch HD, should it be possible to put the latest WM 6.5 roms on to it?
From that thread, I've downloaded the very top attachment, and placed that in my directory with the full BLACIMG.nbh file and the other files and I'm using that to flash... It's progressing, 20%, 21% etc...
Does that sound like I'm doing it right?
After I used the USPL file, which completed successfully, the bootloader now says 1.15xxxx..
Thanks for the help, really appreciated, I'm a techy programmer myself, but never felt so stumped by technology before...

Yes, you are able to flash latest WM 6.5 roms onto your device. From what I've read everything your doing sounds right. Once you have SPL 1.15.USPL you are reading to flash rom. Just follow guide and you'll be fine

Hi, I've used the HSPL 1.56 as advised and ran the ROM flash again, it completed successfully, and I get as far as the orange Windows screen after tapping to setup the screen, There's an orange scroll/progress bar and then the Phone restarts...
I get to the smoky desktop background after it restarts, but it's in 3 colours, and is really unresponsive. Seems no different than it was before using the HSPL... If I turn off the screen and turn it back on again, it shows in full colour, but still quite unresponsive to touches and none of the softkeys do anything. It quickly crashes..
Any ideas what could have gone wrong?
Again, really appreciate the help.

Sounds like something went wrong when you flashed HSPL 1.56. Check your SPL in bootloader. Does it say SPL 1.56.Olinex?

No. It still says SPL-1.14.0000.
When I've run the HSPL 1.56 and it says it completed successfully... :S
These are the steps taken.
I've updated the vista driver for the USB connection.
Ran the USPL.exe which completed successfully "Happy flashing".
Ran the HSPL 1.56 as advised above, then ran BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe which came with the WM6.5 Leo.
Now, the bootloader says SPL-1.14.000.
Thanks for the help so far.

You should really be posting this in the dummies guide thread.
Have you tried this:
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
Boot up your phone.
Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Post any further queries in that thread

First time flashing, Need Help

This is my first post
Ok i want to flash my phone for the first time and want to know if all my info is correct.
I want to flash my phone from the stock rom to the WM6.5 pure rom because my battery sucks and so does my signal, any idea if this will work for me???
heres the info i have:
" *** Flash X1 without PC - Micro SD Method ***
This is useful if you load a bad image and cannot make an activesync connection for RUU flashing method.
This method works for any 6.1 and 6.5, and even radio rom.
*** Some Kingston brand may have problem to use SD method, no solution other than use RUU method ***
0. Make sure x1 is hard-spl first
1. Make sure yr micro-sd is formatted w/ fat-32
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd,
and put that it yr X1
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right,
and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction

Am i on the right track and is it recommendend i do this ?

First of all, update to official R3-rom via SE update service.
There you will get a new radio (signal strength).
After that, Hard-SPL your phone.
When that's done, yes, you can use the Micro SD method.

thanks a milllion so if u upgrade to this rom first like this is it ok ???
"1. download this: http://rapidshare.com/files/238466530/APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R3AA010.exe then
2. rename the image file (normally "ruu_signed.nbh") to Kovsimg.nbh, copy that to the micro-sd,
and put that it yr X1
3. Make sure X1 is disconnect to your PC to avoid goes to serial mode (AC power source is OK)
4. Bring x1 to boot-loader mode by turning off the x1 completely. Hold the "volume down" button on the right,
and hold the power on button until you see the tri-color screen.
5. Then follow the on-screen instruction"
because that is the R3 rom right ?

Just follow your instructions and flash to gtrab ROM first. then if your reception or battery doesnt increase, you can flash to a different radio version. The way to flash to a different radio version is the same method as ROM but u need to find the radio file. The radio file is also in the ROM developement section, all you need to do is search. I think the lastest radio file is 1.16 or 1.17. Good luck. Just post any questions and people will gladly help you.
PS: Once u start to flash different rom, it is addicting to try to different rom. Dont ask which rom is the best, every ROM has it positive and negative. YOu just got to try them all to see which one fit you the best.

so i downloaded the 1.16 radio and...
"Just extracted from new Korean R3BA015 Rom
http://rapidshare.com/files/25077333...1_16_25_48.zip"
did it this method!
"1. just copy the file *.nbh into the root directory of SD card and rename into kovsimg.nbh
2. Do the ordinary flashing (hold the bottom volume button and the power button until the flash screen appear)
3. Follow the next instruction"
its saying loading for 5 mins now , is this normal???

ok i never hard spl it first i think that might be the problem

im having a huge problem hard spl my phone can someone please guide me step by step thanks

1. State problem
2. Follow this for HardSPL'ing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218

ba update

Hy!
I have a ba with broken power button. The button has rend a pace of motherbord. How can i update my rom without this? Can i turn on the bootloader mod by shoftware? How can i repair it?
(i can't speak eglish, but i try it! )
thx!

hi and welcome to the forum!
there are several things that come to mind:
1. in my signature there is a link to the htc blueangel service manual that can help you fix your power button, because sooner or later, you might need it.
2. assuming that you already use a wm5 or higher rom, before attempting to upgrade you can try a dry run and try to put the device into bootloader mode by running enterbl.exe on the device (it comes with every RUU), then without upgrading you perform a soft reset to restart it and then try a hard reset with only reset+camera+record and see if the menu shows up. then you are good to go.
3. if you are running wm2003, you should check, whether your rom is already WWE, you might be able to upgrade without putting the device into bootloader mode before beginning.
please post back if any of that worked. if not, i still have an idea involving mtty, but i would have to look it up first and maybe it is not necessary.

[Q] This is depressing, stuck on SPL [email protected]! Trying to flash to a HSPL ROM

Hey guys,
New to this whole world of flashing devices and have been browsing for days trying to learn and understand all the different terms associated, so please forgive me if i say something that doesn't make any sense
Trying to upgrade my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), Rom version: 1.14 WWE (put my phone into bootloader and the SPL is 1.14), was trying to update my phone which is when i came across cooking roms and updating them via flashing, have read Digital Outcast's Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL], decided i wanted to follow the HSPL which is when i came across
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671277
and wanted to install the 'blackSTONEhenge HyPer MaxSense' Rom, said i needed RADIO ROM version 1.14 or above, my stock standard HTC has RADIO Version 1.09, which meant i had to try and flash my devices radio rom.
What im not sure is this HSPL, i dont fully understand if im supposed to try and get/put HSPL on my phone before i do any flashing/ im not sure if HSPL is the 'thing' that allows flashing to become capable...
If someone could help me out as i have been browsing the forums for a few days and its driving me nuts as usually i would have worked it out by now!
Cheers,
Scott

dont get confused
1.just download "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip" from "Attached files".
and unzip in a empty folder.
2.connect your phoneto pc via active sync.
3.run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, click yes/next/ok(sorry dont remember what was it, you phone will restart in bootloader (three color screen and hspl will be done automatically.
thats it.
now flash any radio or rom of ur choice.

nice explanation, just let me add some newbie information:
basically, what you are facing, is flashing three things:
1. you flash hspl, which means that your device will be unlocked for roms of all carriers and all countries, and you will be permanently ready to switch roms any time you want, as it remains in your phone, whatever you do (hard reset, flashing a stock rom, whatever).
2. the radio rom, the radio is the bridge between the windows mobile operating system and the hardware. this is responsible for the fact, that for example switching on wi-fi is done with the same button on any device, independent from which wi-fi card is actually installed. it controls wi-fi, gsm, 3.5G communications, bluetooth, camera and sound input and output. the latest radio for the blackstone is 1.17 (.25.09 i believe). it offers the best quality in all beforementioned services, but drains slightly more power than previous versions, due to higher performance.
as there is actually yet another stepping stone between the OS and the radio, rilphone.dll, it is advised to use a new radio with the cooked roms offered here. most chefs integrate a new rilphone.dll in their roms and they work best with the corresponding radio rom.
3. in the end, you will flash the actual OS rom that changes your operating system, possibly the language, the manila version and everything else. just like formatting your windows xp pc and installing windows 7, your apps, settings and personal information (in this case contacts, appointments, sms...) will be gone.
for it to work, you must flash hspl first, or your device will be unable to accept actual roms, and then proceed with the radio, and before flashing the actual OS rom (in your case blackstonehenge), you should perform a task 29, either you can flash it (see task 29 thread), or use mtty or use advanced ruu, which has an extra option to do it.
this was just a basic introduction to make it easier for you, to understand, what you are actually doing, when attempting to flash, the rest and all the steps to take are in the tutorials, i just find it easier to do, when you actually know, why you do certain steps, helps you remember for the next time.

Chef_Tony

Ok thanks guys for the responses, and especially chef_tony's, cheers.
P.s. Sorry for the complicated response below, its hell to read
I have tried to follow:
Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
And it hasn't worked, when I follow the HSPL steps I get to step (HSPL2c) and it just sits on 0% and give an Error [262] code (this is the section where we try to flash Blackstone_156OliNex to the device.
The tutorial says: run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe, which then tells us to establish an activesync connection, which i think means we have to get the bootloader mode to USB, in order to get the bootloader to USB Mode I have to connect my phone to the pc before running the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe and leaving it connected to the pc to A) establish the activesync connection(Windows device centre doesn't register the phone as connected whilst in bootloader) then B) get the bootloader mode the USB.
So what i have done:
So the phone is connected to the pc, activesync registers the phone(leaving the phone connected i then),
place it into bootloader (shows USB Mode)
Then run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe (i run it as an administrator)
the program tells me to establish an activesync connection (Windows device centre doesn't register the phone while its in bootloader, which dummies guide tells us to do), i dont know how to establish an activesync connection whilst the phone is in bootloader, so anyway i hit next, next and just click update the rom, and it just sits at 0% and give an Error [262]
Im not sure if the reason for this error is because i haven't put HSPL on the device, im still not 100% sure about the whole HSPL, i think all i have to do for this is run the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe ?? then is the HSPL issue sorted?
Thanks again guys,
Scott

Dis-regard this post

easy thing. i had the same issue when attempting to install hspl for the first time. as described in the tutorial post you mentioned, i went to the part troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
- Boot up your phone.
- Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
- Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
- When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
- Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
with this extra step it worked for me, because installing sspl directly on your phone, it prevents 262 connection errors and unlocks the device temporarily which makes it easier to install hspl.

Thanks again chef,
ok i connected my phone, then copied the SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to my device, run it and it loads into bootloader, shows spl 1.07OilNex, doesn't show USB no matter how long i wait, i unplug it and don't get serial mode either
Tried re connecting it and still no USB or serial mode comes up :\
I had tried following the troubleshooting tutorial before i posted on here for help
Should i try running the HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe without USB mode showing?
and really appreciate all the help,
Scott

Following with interest
Tony and Scot enjoying the posts and hoping to pick up a few pearls of wisdom before upgrading. I have played around with my Touch HD and had it dual booting with android from SD card. For some reason I can no longer use my camera in wm 6.1.
I can not find camera.exe cab and was considering upgrading to wm 6.5 to see if that solves the problem.

Billy, im just stabbing at the dark here, but im guessing if you do flash your device to wm 6.5, during the installation of the upgrade, you're .exe for the camera will be re installed and should work again. Gdluck

Upgrading to wm 6.5
Probably right Scotty, I just want to make sure I don't brick the phone for the sake of getting my camera to work again. Have you managed to complete the upgrade?

Haven't yet, just waiting for some words of wisdom from tony

I also had Error [262] when tried to apply HSPL last week.
But, I applied USPL path to install HSPL!
So I entered USPL and started HSPL install.
Then process finished without any problems.
And it's working excellent... now on the 3rd ROM since appliing HSPL...

good idea, the most important thing is to get a stable connection for the bootloader, and if uspl makes it easier to install hspl, i would definitely give it a try. as posted before, depending on your soft branding, first installing hspl can be a hassle, however, once it's done, you never have to deal with it again (which is also, why many long term blackstone users including myself hardly remember, how to go about changing the spl).
also, since you mentioned that in sspl, you didn't see serial or usb in bootloader mode, make sure that your connection is actually stable. in bootloader mode, windows needs another driver for the device from what is used to sync the device (when it is switched on). especially, when using windows vista or windows 7, you should have a look at the thread "[tut] dummies guide: updating htc sync drivers".
especially on windows 7 x64 it can be quite a lot of work to get it running, because these drivers are not digitally signed, so you'd have to sign them yourself, which requires permanent test mode and comes with a watermark on your desktop, which, in turns, can be removed again. in that case, i would advise you to try a windows xp pc first to get your device up and running and you can deal with this later.
so, in short form:
1. in case you use windows vista or 7 and haven't dealt with the driver yet, have a look at the link to the tutorial or use a windows xp pc with activesync installed.
2. if you are positive that drivers cannot be the issue, or you successfully updated them, step forward and try the "uspl to install hspl" method, bodisson suggested.

CRACKED IT! dont have time to type how but ill post what happened once i wake up, thanks for all the help guys, you guys are legends!

Many thanks to Chef_Tony for his help in this matter. You've a lot of mod like qualities mate
Scottygrot, I'm glad you got it sorted in the end.
I'm closing this thread now. In future please post all flashing issues in Dummies Guide thread

Back from Android to WM6 problems

Hello everyone!
I recently installed Android Froyo 2.2 (Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS15 All Language), following mainly this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=602, and also reading many others, about hardspl etc.
Everything went perfect! The phone workes just fine, full functioning!
My problem is that, after deciding to go back to windows mobile for selling my phone, I followed these steps :
"Switching back is very easy. All you gotta do is download your favorite WinMO rom, and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISimg.nbh and place it on your SD card along with KAISDIAG.NBH.
Place the SD into your Kaiser and hold the Power button and camera button down, then take your stylus and hit the reset button. Follow the instructions on the screen to flash your Kaiser. When the flashing is done you should be back to running Windows Mobile."
I downloaded the shipped rom RUU_signed_WWE_1.56.405.5_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17 but the update process stopped at about 1/3, and the phone rebooted with Android OS.
Also, when I press the power button+camera button, for a new update flash, after the three colors screen(KAIS130, SPL-3.07.0000, CPLD-8), the message "Loading..." appears and stucks.
I guess, my phone no longer has hardspl, and there is no way to put it back, neither put back the signed rom, if there is no WM os????
Any help/suggestions???
Thank you very much, in advance

I suggest you follow the tutorial switch back to Windows Mobile by Dukenukemx ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6461906&postcount=1

looks like a really lost hardspl. Maybe this will help you get back to windows http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kaiser_stuck_at_bootloader

One question:
What version radio was on the phone BEFORE attempting a WinMoBlows flash?
It looks like the shipped rom had the 1.27.12.17 radio included in the bundle and, if so, this would explain the error in flashing.
One thing to check would be at the bottom of "Settings" page, touch "About Phone". Towards the bottom you will see "Baseband Version". The numbers at the end are your radio version and should be the original radio numbers. If it says "1.27.12.17", you've found one problem...
I would say follow dukenukem's post and try to reflash HardSPL again.
I haven't run into this problem yet since I will probably never sell either of my Kaisers... lol.

same problem at my place...
installed android, about 2 month ago, wanted to switch back to win and couldnt do it that simple as say "Switching back is very easy. All you gotta do is download your favorite WinMO rom, and rename RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISimg.nbh and place it on your SD card along with KAISDIAG.NBH. " in Dukenukemx's tutorial.
I have tried everything putting on sd card many ROM's Hardspl's, then i found this on my pc RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88. 07_1.27.12.11_Ship when i try to flash via usb (manually enter bootloader and connect usb cable) it get to 1% and reboots and ond rom update software says ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID and above Exit button says: VER4-KBKV5867-HUEbc568-KBKV58670...
and when i try same rom to flash via sd card it says
Loading...
Checking...
0028002
Not Allow
with any other it stay's at 0% on phone and nothing is showed, then on RUU says ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR and down is button Recovery, tried a lot's of times nothing...
Then i saw that you PoXFreak said to check radio in baseband mine is 1.65.17.56
any sugestions please?

Another user with problems...
Tried a return from android to windows mobile because of the random locks that were happening in android (also some other weirdnessess...)
Now when it is put a microSD with kaisimg or kaisdiag it goes into white loading screen and stay there...
(tried flashing Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2, that seemed to be the one who came with my phone)
The baseband message somebody talked above shows only "HTC"
When in tricolor bootloader the following is showed:
security unlocked
KAIS***
SPL-3.28.0000
CPLD-8
(Still gonna try updating it connected to the computer, seems like usb and serial dettection are working, for it will dettect the charger connection and start showing USB in the lower part of the screen, battery got very low overnight, still needing to charge it to really do some test)
_____________
Update:
Flashed ok through USB, just entered tricolor bootloaded, connected usb and executed the original rom installer.

hello everyone
I used to have this kind of problem.. my hard spl broke when i tried to flash a stock wm rom from android.
In my opinion, each stock roms comes with specific SPL, radio version, etc. It means that when you are trying to flash stock rom, you also flashing new SPL. the problem is, the new SPL broke your hard SPL so you won't be able to flash anything to your kaiser except your original stock rom which comes with your kaiser.
you can find some stock roms for kaiser here : http://shipped-roms.com
Since I'm only sure that my kaiser originaly comes with WWE version I almost tried all the WWE stock roms there, but my search ended when I flashed RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe, this rom works for my phone and it seems that only this rom didn't give me "invalid vender ID" message.
so, keep trying to find your original stock rom
and after you managed to flash your stock rom, don't forget to flash hard-SPL again if you still want to mess around with your kaiser.
good luck

Another way to do it, albeit a little tougher, would be to use Oli's NBH tool and remove the SPL and radio from a stock rom. That way you get to keep the radio and SPL while flashing a stock rom.
Keep in mind that some WM roms only like certain radio versions, and you may end up having to flash an older (or newer) radio to find what works best.
