Why don't you flash a stock rom? Download the stockrom, rename the file from .exe to .zip. Then extract the .nbh file from it and put in on your SD card. Then flash from the bootloader. That should work.

Concur with the above post. If you installed the stock SPL, then all you need to do is install a ROM that you get from your carrier. It should work.
^yup agreeeed
no luck here =( i got the tmo file but when i zip it it has nothing to extract
i think i got the right nbh file but its stuck at loading screen after the bootloader
Did you follow this procedure?
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Rhodium Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to RHODIMG.nbh
4. Copy the RHODIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.
Just out of curiosity, why did you restore the spl?
ohh i got it =) thanks. all good now. im selling it to another person. so it has to be original

Well, we need to know what you are doing first!
What ROM are you flashing?
Do you have HardSPL already on? Or do you have no idea? haha

How to Flash HardSPL
1) Find out your IPL
-- Do a Soft Reset (Push Button under volume w/Stylus)
-- While doing Reset, hold the Camera button, it should bring up the Bootloader menu and list your IPL (I think, it has been a while since I haven't been running HardSPL)
2) Verify your IPL is 4.xxx or Higher!
3) Boot your phone Again
4) BEFORE Hard-SPL--go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and check that checkbox
5) Download HardSPL:
http://rapidshare.de/files/38148213/HardSpl_WM6.rar.html
6) Transfer these files to the phone:
--- a) install canonyang.cab
--- b) install aserpolicy.cab
--- c) install disablesecurity.cab
7) Soft Reset again
8) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
9) screen will become white - WAIT until it reboots itself (Should be like 10-15 min)
10) Phone will boot back to your main ROM
11) Soft Reset, Hold Camera button, check if SPL is 4.70.yang
Okay, now HardSPL is on
12) Download Your ROM
There are 2 ways of doing this now, either
1) Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe - When finished, go to Step 8.
-OR-
2) Put RUU_signed.nbh on your SD-Card and call it HERAIMG.nbh
3) Soft Reset, hold the Camera button
4) It will say: PRESS KEY TO INSTALL or something like that...
5) Press the volume button down or up
6) The ROM should begin to Extract/Install
7) When it finishes, do a Soft Reset
8) You should have your new ROM now!
Good Luck!

I followed the instructions, however when I turn on the phone holding down the camera button I get a white screen that states searching for SD Card (the white screen disappears quickly) then a new screen with RED, Green, Blue, White stripes with the IPL & SPL INFO, there is no option to press up to install the ROM. The ROM is in the Root of the Storage card named written as such in your walk through.

What size Card are you using?
I cannot get my 4GB or 8GB Card to flash... I have to use a 2GB card (I think it is SDHC Drivers not loading in BootLoader)
That is most likely your problem.
Try to get a hold of a smaller one (Maybe borrow one)

I had a 4gb in there, so that might be part of the problem, as time went on there was more going on it seemed. I finally got it to go back to that flash that came with the HardSPL software.
In order to do it, I started off by taking your advice. First I put in an older Lexar 2gb chip into the phone (Non-SDHC), then re-installed the three cabs that come with the hardSPL (installing them to the device, not the SD card). Then had to put the phone into the mode with the 4 different color bars (press and release the soft reset button while holding down the camera button till the bars showed), and finally I started the RUU from the PC since it still did not see or take the NBH file off of the root directory of the 2gb Micro SD.
I hope it does not get flippy like that again. The darn phone was deleting its own files as it was unhappy on the last build. Thanks for the tip on the SD swap. I'll be sure to keep that in my bag of tricks should it happen again.

Those CABs can go anywhere. You need to put them somewhere (root of the SD works for simplicity)
So put the CABs on the root of the SD Card
Use File Explorer or Total Commander (Whichever you have on the phone) to navigate to your SD Card and run the 3 CAB files (Order does not matter) - Install them to the phone (Not the SD Card)
Then run the Installer from your PC as stated in the instructions.
*Note: Installing HardSPL will also install a New ROM (It is some old version of PDAViet I think)
As for installing your old ROM again, you would use a different method.
Similar to installing HardSPL, there is a PC-Based installer for the stock ROM, this ROM will revert you to T-Mobile default OS and back to SoftSPL.
I can upload this ROM later when I get home if you would like...
I think i got the CAB part understood.
When I do the HARDSPL I should have a ROM ready to install correct may I ask what you reccommend I have never used any of them so all new to me.
Could you please upload the stock rom to revert back to t-mobile, the installer and softSPL or what ever I need.

I would have the ROM you want ready, otherwise you would be stuck with the HardSPL ROM (Which you probably don't want to use)
I would suggest Just2Clean.
It is customizable & fast. (Can be found in the ROM Dev forum)
Stock ROM:
http://www.mediafire.com/?2nq9iu0a2nt
so with the stock rom I can go back to my t-mobile theme at any time or do I need to get rid of the HARDSLP first?

The Stock ROM installer puts SoftSPL back on the phone.
Windows Mobile 6.1 is just modified version of Windows Mobile 6.

Try using Flash Center (http://rapidshare.com/files/202330180/Flash_Center.rar.html)
1) Put the phone in BootLoader (Make sure it says SPL 4.70.yang)
-- To get in BootLoader: Do a Soft Reset while holding down the Camera Button
2) Put the ROM in the 'RUU' folder (Name it anything [No spaces/special characters]) and try flashing using ROMUpdateUtility
If SPL is not 4.70.yang:
Try Re-Flashing HardSPL
If it won't stay connected long enough to flash (Gives an error upon flashing)
- When the Phone reboots itself, try holding the Camera button again, it sometimes will keep going
If you STILL can't get it going..
- Search desperately for a different SD Card (Make sure it is formatted in FAT32/FAT16)
Hi! I have a question about roms. I want to flash my rom with let"s say shadowmans win 6.5, but i dont know how, because everyone is talking about hardspl and branded phones. I have i stock rom now (6.1) and i have hardspl preinstalled, does that mean that i can flash any rom i want or what? What is the quickest way to flash and what can u do if flashing fails? I need a quick giude for dummies. Thanks for all your help!
the easiest way to flash is with custom RUU it is explaind in hspl Wiki- as you will use this to flash hspl
download newest hspl 1.83 olinex and flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
download ROM
connect you topaz to pc in active syns mode
open CustomRUU it us usually included with downloaded ROM
follow the instructions
then you can flash the radio again use the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Topaz_Radio_ROM
hope this can get you started
If you definitely have hspl 1.83 olinex installed (you can check from the 3 colour bootloader screen - completely switch off your topaz and switch on again whilst holding volume down key), then you can flash any ROM using just your microsd card instead of connecting to your PC.
Download the ROM of your choice and extract the .nbh file from the archive or folder. It will be the biggest file in the archive. Rename this to TOPAIMG.nbh and put it in the root (top level) of your microSD card.
Make sure your battery is near to full, then turn off and restart your Topaz in bootloader mode as described above. It will detect the ROM and ask you to confirm upgrade. Simple as that. When it's complete and says "success" you can restart your phone using the reset button.
If ever it fails, you can simply do it again. Or, take out your microSD, put it in a card reader and put another TOPAIMG ROM file there, re-insert, and reflash.
Don't forget to delete the TOPAIMG file afterwards.
You can flash complete ROMs this way or just radio ROMs, it's the same process. I like this method because it's self-contained and doesn't rely on connection to your PC. Only make sure a) olinex 1.83 is installed already, and b) there's adequate battery left.
Don't forget to make a note of your stock ROM so that you can download it again in case you ever want to go back to it, or if you send your phone in for service.

I did what you said but when I turn on the power with volume down press i can read, for a very short while, the word "no file image". What I have to do now? In the micro SD there is only the .nbh file and in the boot mode I can read that olinex 1.83 is installed.Help please.thanks a lot. Simon
I have checked that too, but i have hspl 1.33, does that mean i can flash any rom i want from my sd card or i must have 1.83 to do that?

is your micro sd formatted with fat 32? must be formatted in order to flash a rom using a micro sd card first. you dont have to power down your device to flash from sd card either. just hold volume down and insert stylus in the soft reset hole. hold until bootloader screen comes up. after flashing a hard reset is recommended. thats when you power down the device. you have to wait till everything gets set up first though to get to where you can power down the device though. hold volume up and down button. while holding those buttons turn the power back on. then follow the instructions it says.

Is your ROM file named exactly TOPAIMG.nbh? Note the caps for the filename and lower case for the extension.
I was just reading another thread and apparently this is important for the bootloader to recognise it.
Please add one small comment to HSPL instructions
Few of us get "stuck" installing HSPL... Once you see a tricolor screen you are to follow RUU...but it says to be connected in activesync. yet if one looks on activesync you see your device is disconnected.
Please add "wait a minute" and just click OK on RUU. By then it is connected just doesn't show in activesync. Flash and all should be good.

I haven't burned a new ROM yet but have been getting the pieces together
I have an AT&T Pure which comes stock with WinMo 6.5 and also comes with
a Stock HSPL 1.83 (I believe 1.83 is required for all 6.5 and above?)
I think there is a potential area of confusion here for Pure users
(Especially since the other Topaz came with WinMo 6.1 and HSPL 1.33)
there is an OEM HSPL 1.83 and an Olinex modified 1.83 that will unlock
the phone.
Correct me if I'm wrong but
The one that is actually needed is the "modified"
1.83 OliNex (available here on XDA from Olinex as a sticky)
Can someone confirm this "subtle" difference???
I've gone to the tri-color Boot screen and the stock Pure only says
HSPL 1.83 (it does does not say OliNex)
my current understanding is that I will need to
burn the Olinex HSPL over my Stock OEM 1.83
before adding a new ROM??
One final question is after I reburn the new Olinex HSPL
Do I need to install the new ROM at that point?
Or could I use my phone? (with old stock Rom plus new HSPL)
Just want know if I'd be "off the air" at that point or not?
(So maybe I'll wait with R1+ over the latest Dutty Rom)
TIA
Hope this can at least promote some understanding

Hi folks!
I hope that you can help me:
I have to restore the stock spl on my xperia in order to get the keyboard and a case crack repaired!
The initial situation was like this: X1 hard spled with custom fw.
I first downloaded a german vodafone rom and flashed this rom with the sd card method: Renamed the firmware to kovsimg.nbh, copied it to sd and flashed via hardspl. I rebooted the phone and the standard tom booted just fine.
Then I downloaded "ruusigned_072stockspl.zip" from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
I extracted it, renamed it to kovsimg.nbh and flashed it... after the flashing process (the bar was full which means it flashed 100% to me) the phone showed "loading" for a while... after like 10mins I put out the battery.
The phone now starts into tricolour screen even if I dont press power+down.
its on stock SPL (shows SPL-0.72.0000) and it says "Continue to Upgreade ROM... please wait" but nothing happens..
what steps should I take from there on? I ve attached a screen which shows the tri colour screen.
Did I brick my X1?
Don't think you got much more options then try to reflash the spl. Maybe that will fix this. Do you still got usb access in this tri color mode?
nope, I dont get a usb connection
With spl you mean I should try to reflash hardspl?
If I have no hard spl, is it possible to flash a original rom with a sd card only?

thx for your advice I am sure that this will be the solution - stupid thing is: like the guy in the post you linked I have lost my micro sd to SD Adapter and therefore I cant write the stock firmware to my card -.- stupid thing...
In a hour I ll rush away, buy a adapter and then try to flash the stock rom but as it sounds from the thread the scenario is the same so I think it will work.
EDIT: This was the solution I downloaded the stock rom from the sticky thread in the Rom Section from XDA, extracted it to the sd root and renamed it kovsimg.nbh. Put sd card into X1, started X1 which automatically booted into tri colour screen - I only had to press power to porcede and everything is finde now after the flashing process! Stock rom and stock spl on my X1 thanx
simple!
i had the same problem...just rename the original rom.image to RUU_Signed.nbh then open hardspl (dnt push next)and replace the file push next ,update and it;s done!don't worry if u see the error at 0 % try to open the x1 after that and it would be fine
Hey everyone, as the title suggests, I'm a big noob.
I actually flashed SPL 1.33 before flashing a shipped / stock rom. I'm going to send my unit for warranty (it has a lot of dead pixels now :S).
Now when I try flashing a shipped rom, it says "Not allowed" when it goes to the white screen.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Reflash to HSPL, then shipped ROM, then SSPL.
The system doesn't boot up anymore, actually. It get's stuck in the "HTC Diamon II" opening...
Try a hard reset, if not,
You'll have to flash everything from SD Card by renaming each .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh and entering bootloader mode, HSPL then ROM

Alright, try this;
1. Take the HSPL183 .nbh file and rename it to RUU_signed.nbh.
2. Find the TopazRUU.exe file and put both into same folder.
3. Soft reset your phone while holding the volume key down to go to bootlloader mode.
4. Once the tri-colored screen show 'USB at the bottom, run the RUU.exe.
5. Once it completes at 99%, hold your volume key again before it resets.
6. When back to Bootloader mode, verify your SPL says 1.83.Olinex.
7. Repeat the same for the HSPL 2.51 file.
8. If you have your stock ROM, right click on the .exe and extract it to a folder.
9. Take that RUU_signed.nbh and put into same folder as TopazCustomRUU.exe. You can replace the first one, or copy the RUU.exe to a new folder.
10. Go back to Bootloader and run the RUU.exe with the ROM .nbh file.
11. Then follow steps for the relocker.
Hope this helps.

Hey Bruce, thanks for all the help so far. I tried flashing it after work, but I reach up to step 4 but it freezes at 0% and the CustomRUU.exe basically says that it has some kind of communication error.

You are pulling the correct files.
All I can suggest is to try the same thing with the Topaz-HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL.zip file from that thread. Connect in Bootloader mode and once you get the 'USB to show, try running the .exe in that file.
Unfortunately I don't think it will work, because the autoinstaller attempts to access through Active Sync, and you can't sync at this point.
What does your SPL show in Bootloader currently, 1.33.000?
Well I was glad to see I'm not the only clown out there
Just wanted to thank Bruce. Last night I also reloaded the stock/1.33 SPL before reloading the rom and completely messed up my phone. I could get it right up until the progress bar, but it would just sit at 0% forever. After reading a couple of threads (where Bruce was involved) I tried a new tactic.
Downloaded the Official HTC WM6.5 release, booted into tri colour, connected the usb and launched the app. It actually first upgrades your SPL to 1.83 and then reloads the new rom, all in one go.
Give it a shot.
Thanks again
Yes, it currently says 1.33.000.
Let me give what Rafiqc did a try.
Ah yes, I forgot about trying to flash the stock ROM over the Stock SPL.
Glad I could help, even if inadvertantly...
