So i need your help , why i can't upgrade ?
is SDHC card causing this problem ?
Before i was enable to upgrade my phone ,my actual rom is Shap's
Help me please

please close this thread ,
Solution found ,thanks

1. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.
2. Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card.
3. With miniSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (hold Power button on right side and Camera button at same time and stick with stylus in RESET on bottom).
4. You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the power button.
5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.
6. When flashing completes soft-reset your device.
If not work
copy all file too SD
Run enterbootload
work 100%
First Unlock your CID

doesn't work

Non SDHC. Formatted to FAT32 as a post in the forums said. I've tried Sandisk and transcend since someone mentioned transcend has issues.
It can read the card from the OS, but it doesn't leave the bootloader.

Really need help !!

Sorry for posting this new thread but it was really important for me to do so.
I have a problem regarding flashing a rom.
I have flashed a lot of roms recently through sd card method but never had a problem.
I flashed ' smabergs ' ' Touch X ' Rom 2day but during the update . it stops at around 80% update.
so i have not been able to move to any rom. or more precisely... My phone hasnt been of any use since then i dont have a spare one.
Please help guys. any help is much appreciated !

hi
take your card out and formated with your computer as fat32 it might be correpted
try gain with SD card method if not
use hard SPL method
Use the computer in tow steps and keep your mobile linked while you do the hard SPL flash and uploading the ROM with RUUtility_Kovsky
1 - Downloads the hard rest program X1_HardSPL_v1from xda and unzip
2 - Download the flash utility RUUtility_Kovsky from xda and unzip
Installation, remove the SD card from your mobile it might be corrupted
To lode the ROM to your mobile in tow steps
1- Flash your mobile with X1_HardSPL_v1click the EXE file this will take less than 5 minutes watch your mobile screen and press yes to add a small ROM
2- Don’t remove your mobile USB
3- IMPORTANT you have to copy the new ROM .nbh inside the ROM utility folder called RUU_Kovsky, select ROMUpdateUtility.exe its located inside the folder RUU_Kovsky and pres the ROMUpdateUtility.exe , and start upload your ROM ,this will take less 10 minutes
Put back your formatted SD card

Thanx

Please explain them in a little brief and please provide the links for ruu_kovsky
It's a request.

Thanx dude. M through now

hi , are you don , if so install this rom, the best
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509891

most probably:
1- you don't have HARD-SPL correctly flashed
OR
2- the ROM you are flashing is corrupted (bad download or bad decompression or bad copy to the microSD)
PS: with the stock SPL you can still flash STOCK ROMS
WHAT TO DO ??
1- remove the microSD card and insert it into a PC (with an adapter or reader)
2- delete the current kovsimg.nbh file
3- CHECK the microSD for errors (right click -> tools -> scan disk or check disk)
4- COPY A STOCK ROM to the microSD and rename to kovsimg.nbh
5- Insert the microSD back into the phone, go to bootloader and flash
6- ENJOY YOUR PHONE AGAIN

SPL wont update - Solved

Hi
I am using Cyanogen mod 1.3 recovery.
Have the latest Radio: 2.22.19.26I
I have been trying to install the latest SPL following the instructions here
everything goes fine but if i press the camera + home button, it still shows HSPL10.95.3000
Its driving me nuts..
what am i doing wrong??
Thanks B-man007 .. figured it out finally..
If you have Cyanogen mod 1.3 recovery,
use the following steps :
IF YOU HAVE TWO MICRO SD CARDS:
1. Download the SPL
2. Upload the new SPL on one microSD card and name it "update.zip" and upload the update file of the build that you are currently using on the other microSD card and name it "update.zip"
3. Put the microSD with the SPL update in your phone and reboot to recovery mode.
4. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 5.
5. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone and place the other microSD card in it.
6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update
7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.
IF YOU HAVE ONE SD CARD:
1. Upload new SPL on your microSD and rename to "update.zip"
2. Reboot your phone into recovery mode.
3. THIS IS IMPORTANT (perform a nandroid backup, of course) Apply the update, and once complete DON'T DO ANYTHING.. read step 4.
4. WITHOUT PRESSING ANY BUTTONS remove your microSD card from your phone, and plug it into your microSD card adapter/SD card reader
5. Remove/rename the SPL update (to something other than "update.zip") and upload the update file of the build you are currently using onto your microSD card. Put your microSD card back in your phone AGAIN WITHOUT PUSHING ANY BUTTONS
6. Press home + back to reboot. you should get a small animation showing the SPL update
7. If you boot up in recovery, you have done everything correctly. Now apply the update, reboot, and you're done.

Can we flash from an sd card on the Blackstone?

I looked and can not find things mentioning via sd card only via PC. If I am wrong, I am sorry but I didn't find it. Could you attach a link to where it mentions it? What do I name the .nbh?

Yes you can, the image needs to be called BLACIMG.NBH

and you need hspl on youre phone and the mem formatted to fat 32:-o

I just received it today from ebay, does this seem to be already for me to flash it?
It has 6.1 installed
Bootloader screen says
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.56.OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6

Bootloader says "No Image File"
I have the BLACIMG.nbh file on my 1GB card and it's not loading it. I have done it the same way on my HTC Jade multiple times with the same sd card.
I TRIED WITH ANOTHER ROM AND IT WORKED JUST FINE. I don't know what was wrong with the other one but Thanks for everyone's help.

I'm afraid you're not following the right procedure. This should do the job.
1. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
2. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
3. Turn off your device . Fully power the device off by long press of power key.
4. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
5. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
6. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
Make sure you formatted your sd-card.
To enter Bootloader, starting from powered off phone, hold down volumebutton and briefly press powerbutton.
You can also always use the "search" funtion on the forum startpage. Topbar (brown) on the right side.
It's recommendable to hardreset your device after flashing.
Good luck.

I got it to work just fine I used another ROM and it worked just fine. I have also had success with my JADE with no problem. I edited the post before stating what I did to get it to load successfully. Thank You for the assistance though, that is a easy step by step tutorial of how to perform the flash from sd.

you're right, this trick will not work with SD-HC cards, only "normal" SD-Cards will do the job

Help!!!!! Flash topaz problem!!!

Hello. I have two TOPAZ devices, which both have been flashed with a custom ROM. I flashed them around 2-3 months ago. When i tried to turn one back to WM 6.5 Original, it got bricked. So :
1. Can a TOPAZ be restored to the original factory state?
1.1 If yes, how?
2. Is there anyway to unbrick a TOPAZ?
3. Should this be 4?
Excuse my english
Thanks,
Mike

Bricked??? Lets see... To flash the original ROM, do the following:
1. Extract the original downloaded ROM-file (should be an self-extracting .exe file).
2. Copy the extracted .nbh-file to the root of your sdcard and name it: TOPAIMG.nbh.
3. PowerOn phone holding the VOL-DOWN key pressed until Rainbowcolorscreen apears.
4. Press Power to start internal flashing.
5. After flashing, Softreset...
Thats it... if one of these steps fail, please describe exactly what is happening.

WOW man!! That WAS a fast reply, thanks. I am at work right now, so I can't do much although, how do I extract the rom?

"2] Format your SD card into FAT32:
- go into dos and type:
format <volume> /FS:FAT32 /A:4096
3] Run Qmat to create a gold card:
- Put the formatted microSD card in the working WM device and connect via ActiveSync
- Run Qmat, Go to Hardware Forensics and select 'Generate HTC Goldcard'
- Select your bricked device's key
- Get the SD Card Serial from WINCE Device
- Save the Goldcard image to the SD Card
Now you have a SuperCID which allows you to flash any shipped ROM"
*thats from the sticky under unlocking/flashing*

thanks for the quick responce. so let me get this straight,
: i format my MicroSD
I connect it to my PC and with Qmat I Generate an HTC Goldcard
*didnt get this part* my bricked device's key? how do I do that?
then I use WINCE to get my serial(sdcard)
and now save the goldcard image to sd.
Is this correct?? thanks
Now, after i follow these steps, how do I flash the rom? same way as usual, or is it a special method?
and last, this is for unbricking?
Thanks again.
btw will the method in post 2 work for a fullyworking custom ROM device?

It seems like its basically just allowing you to connect your phone - enter bootloader - and run the .exe (TopazRUU) from your computer to flash a stock rom.
you should read the post in the first sticky, then look at "unlocking/flashing" and you will see #5 Unbricking

thanks

Is your problem solved?

yes, it is!! thanks everyone
