Hi,
I have since one week a Blackstone from Drei (www.drei.at):
ROM 1.56.407.2 (43972) ger
Datum 04/03/09
CE OS 5.2.20769 build 20769.1.4.5
Change the language i think is not possible without to install English-ROM.
If i try to download ROM-upgrade from htc/support (http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload) with my Serial Number i get always the german-version.
Theoretic if i have the Serial Number from "English" Device probable i can change the language from german to english.
It is correct?
If yes, how can i get this english Serial Number? Perhaps exchange with someone from this Forum?
regards
Thomas
don't think about some serialnumbers to get from here. just open your eyes, choose a rom of your choice and here we go. you'll find also the latest HTC roms here somewhere around or linked.

Even if you downloaded the WWE-ROM here you cannot flash it becuase your Device is CID-locked. You habe to unlock it first. Even for this you could have found the Info in this forum.
Good luck!
Hi,
My Device is't locked. I did this over sim-unlocker.com.
From other side i'm not professional or guru. I thought as much that serialnumber should be no problem (i will give my serialnumber without problems).
Anyway " just open your eyes, choose a rom of your choice and here we go."
Its easy to say...

1. You have to CID-Unlock your device
2. You should use Hard-SPL (or at least USPL)
3. Choose any WWE-version of ROM and flash it
But first of all: read how to flash you device in oder to keep it alive. It´s easy but you have to read.
Some threads ahead is the following sticky one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Hi all,
At first thank you for the answers!
Second: What do you mean Sir, "to keep alive the device"? Is this upgrade dangerous? If yes then i will not do this. I will keep my german version.
I'm still a greenhorn and i need more information regarding the threads 505377 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377).
I have already read this threads and i'm little bit confused. I checked that my SPL is: SPL-1.54.0000.
So, the steps:
1. Install Hard-SPL (of course - successful).
- should i take all files for HSPL and go to "post2"?
1. HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
2. USPL GUI v 2.5.zip
3. RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
4. BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
5. SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip
- "post2" page:
1. HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip (equal with the 1. above)
2. A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7 --> what is this?
3. BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip (equal with the 4. file above)
4. SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip (equal with the 5. file above)
result: Do i need "USPL GUI v 2.5.zip" and "RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip" and what about "A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7" ?
Please explanation of "Place your phone into its bootloader." Sir.
This?
- Turn it off.
- Hold the volume down button while you press the power on button.
- You should see a tri-color screen with some text.
- Plug in your phone to your computer via USB. At the very bottom of the screen it should show USB.
2. If the first is OK then install the Englich Version: "RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.57.831.1_Radio_52.64.25 .34_1.14.25.24_Ship.exe"
or i need something else?
I will be very grateful for any help and suppor?

upgrading rom (official or custom) is always a critical moment. you can break your device. hspl will make sure that you can restart your flashing procedure.
i have been using wm devices for years now and flashing have become to one of my hobies. so i am quite familiar with flashing but even for me it was hard to really understand the thread you mentioned above.
i have chosen to install hspl instead of uspl because this is what i have been using on other devices for years now (to other readers who are in favour of uspl: yes of course uspl is also very good, blablabla) but let's give newbies a clear start and he can decide later for other spls)
to answer the first question: you only need one spl which is in this case 1.56olinex. nothing more and nothing else.
now you are prepared to install any rom you like
and yes - what you described is the bootloader
second question:
yes, you can install that rom. again, here are many roms you can install.
but i see that you are very cautious - in this case you should really go to htc website (as you did), enter your serial number and install the rom htc is providing you with (even if it is not the language you prefer).
Hi
Yes, Sir i'm very cautious because i'm not profi. Thank you for the tip but..
I still don't know which file i need (Step 1 - Install spl) to install the Hard-SPL. Only "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip"?
The second step is clear.
Thank you a lot
regards
Thomas
correct.
once hspl is installed there is no reason to be cautious anymore
it does not make any difference in flashing official roms or custom roms.
Ok i'm not cautious anymore. All i need is only one file namely, the "HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip".
Should I follow the references from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 ?
First i need .NET 3.5.
Then regarding: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930436&postcount=2 It concerns the following ...
HSPL1 - Downloads (i got it!)
HSPL2 - Flash new SPL (1.56.OliNex or HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe) (i got it!)
HSPL3 - Check SPL version (i got it!)
HSPL4 - Flash new 1.56+ rom Why? I did this in HSPL2
What is that -> "A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7".
regards
Thomas
in step hspl2 you updated your spl. this has nothing to do with flashing the rom (i.e. OS) itself, which you do in step hspl4.
"A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's XT 3.7" means that you should from now on only flash roms whose version number is 1.56 or above (and dutty's rom XT3.7 is just one of them). all the latest roms here are based on version 1.56 or higher. but no problem if you flash an older rom. you will see screen color prolems right after booting. just reflash the correct rom.
but i have to admit that the tutorial would need some tuning in terms of clarification.
let´s say it in easy words:
The SPL of a device is like the BIOS of your PC.
All devices are locked by the providers in this SPL.
eg. if u buy an O2 Blackstone, you´re only able to flash O2 roms,
if u buy the official HTC Blackstone, you´re only able to flash official HTC Roms for your Region (in your case GER) ...
This lock is called CID Lock or Country-ID Lock.
To remove this lock, you have 2 options:
You can temporarly remove the lock just to flash any other ROM. After the rom is flashed and the device reboots, it´s locked again. (If anything goes wrong here, u need a Rom from your Provider matching your CID to recover the device!!) <- so if you want to do this, you need USPL
You can also permanantly remove the lock, and flash anything you want by flashing to a patched SPL. <- if you want to do this, you have to take HSPL by Olinex.
Pro and Cons:
If u take USPL, you will keep your (original) SPL, but still locked to your provider. You´ll need a official Rom matching your CID to restore when something goes wrong.
If u take HSPL, you can simply flash anything you want and how much you want. But you can get problems with warrenty if the device has technical problems in the future. When problems occure and you have to send the device to repair, you can flash an official Rom containing a official SPL or just an official (stock) SPL. But only if u are still able to flash
It´s your decition. I prefer HSPL...
I hope that i find The correct answer because i searched a lot and I did not find

Benson is right. To get it working correctly you will need to upgrade your ROM to a 1.56 ROM first. you can get it from HERE

I ram Hard spl and then wat should i do and how should i install the coustom rom after it
Easy
I had the exact same problem when i first started to flash htc opal... didn't know how to do it, and didn't know what rom to use... maybe someone should create a complete, step by step guide (flashing opal for dummies) and post it as sticky...
ok, here it goes...
Flashing:
0.- if you'll be using a cooked rom (a modified Rom), you'll need to do a hardSPL. check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446446
1.- Make sure that you have activesync if you are using windows xp or windows device manager if you are using windows vista and the latest version of .net framework installed on your pc.
2.- unzip the new rom files on a folder somewhere accesible (desktop for example)
3.- connect the device as an activesync conection, make sure the battery is charged 50% or more
4.- just run the RUU installer (Rom Update Utility), sometimes named CustomRUU.
5.- Follow the onscreen instructions.
YOU ARE DONE.
that's it... no complications, no special drivers, no weird commands or files to copy and paste. so simple. Just one thing: make sure you don't disconect usb during rom update.
so, resumed: Download Rom, Connect activesync, run RUU, done.
About what's the best 6.5 rom: PhamQuang. check for the latest on the rom development section. but different users will recommend different roms, so i'll recommend to try several before sticking to a particular one.
Ran Hard spl and then wat should i do to install the custom Rom
Hi,
I'm using HTC TOUCH HD (orange). I bought this handset from Scotland it was locked with orange only but i Unlocked this handset in india and now i'm using this handset with vodafone India.
Now this handset works gr8 for me but still i can see some settings are map with orange only. I heard if i update with international English ROM then my problem will get solved.
I have no idea about updating ROM. I read lots of blogs even i read on xda wiki also but not sure as its looks like if i update my ROM then i may lose my original ROM.
I have few question:
1. How to choose correct ROM for my handset.
2. Which is the right tool to take the Device backup.
3. If i'm unable to update with new ROM then will i lose my Original ROM.
Hereby i'm sending you my current ROM Version and release date
Current ROM Version: 1.1961.1 WWE
Operator Version: 34.119.1.611
ROM Date: 11/25/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26U
Your help will be highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest not doing it. If you can't read and search, then you can't flash a ROM.
hey dear. i also got my handset from UK with locked with orange. If u want to upgrade simply go for Cooked ROM's. Those original rom's are crap and cant use the full potential of ur handset.
I would suggest u go for Energy sense 2.1 21898 version.
u need to do just few things in order to flash a cooked rom. if u r ready then do let me know
the best way to take a backup is using PIM backup software
re ur 3rd question. once u flash a cooked rom u will never want to go back to ur original stock rom.
send me a pm whenever u r ready and confident to flash ur phone

sorry for late reply Thank you so much for ur positive reply.
Could you please let me know from where i can get the currect ROM for my handset?
also please tell me who u did it with ur HTC TOUCH HD and does and don't if you have something before flashing ROM.
OK I have some time so let me try to put it as simple as I can.
First, there are 3 firmwares:
SPL -- This needs to be hacked to be able to change to any ROM
ROM -- You have the HTC official one and cooked ones
RADIO: you have 1.09, lastest are 1.13 / 1.14 / 1.17
The safest way is to use USPL, since it does not modify the SPL. You can always flash a ROM again.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
Download uspl_2.5.zip
Be aware that some antivirus flag the exe as dangerous, but that's because it contains an exploit for a buffer overflow.
If you're using Vista or 7, you need to change the drivers for HTC USB sync as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
Now power off the phone (long press power button)
Press volume down on the side, and power button
That should leave it in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen
Now connect it to the PC and run USPL
It should reboot and go back to the Red/Green/Blue/White screen but now it says USPL
The phone is ready to flash any ROM or any radio now.
Official HTC ROMs here:

is the last one on the web, it works fine. Does not have the lastest versions of everything but it works fine.
In the forum you have links to many cooked ROMs, based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. WM 6.5 takes more RAM and it's slower than 6.1 (like Vista and XP). But most ROMs today are WM 6.5.
I have been used these two in the last months:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648831
The recomendation is to flash the HTC stock ROM first (that will also update the RADIO to 1.13.25.24). Then if you want to experiment, you can flash a cooked ROM.
Well,
My opinion: once you are addicted to ROM, I think HSPL would be the best way.
You can flash a ROM within 5 minutes or less. Also, using task29 is even more easier.
Cheers, my friend.

By the way, I'm back to Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1.
The difference in speed with a WM 6.5 ROM is too big. People should really consider give this one a try and see what I mean. On WM 6.5 even typing in keyboard is slow. Here you start with 37% RAM used, not 52%. And while using Opera, you have 55% RAM used, not 80%.
No way I'm going back to WM 6.5.
ok, I'm closing this thread now. In future could everyone direct users looking for flashing help to this thread.

thanks alot man this really helped me out!
I just got my phone and it has these:
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Radio software: 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0
(btw its from T-mobile)
So I should be following the instructions to install RSPL and It lookss easy.
but what about my OS? can I leave the OS as it is and install one of these custom roms:
DFT's Freedom.
dotcompt's DeepShining.
itje's Touch-It.
Or do I need to update to Stock mango first?
Finally, what are radios for and should I flash a new one? if so what should I flash.
sorry about all these questions but its my first time having a WP and I dont want it to break from day one

you should click the Thanks button, instead of thanking me in a post. : )
and you are welcome. glad i can help.
yep, with Bootloader version 3.1 start with RSPL.
when you flash a Custom ROM, it will be replace your current OS and Radio, if included with Custom ROM.
Radios give you your signal... so, a different Radio could help give you a strong signal in places.
everything went great.
using touch it rom now

What's the difference between RSPL and HSPL?

RSPL is a temporary SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, then returns to OSPL afterwards. aka after a reset.
HSPL is a permanent SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, but doesn't change to OSPL until you flash it back.

i don't believe so, no.

glad i could help.
and welcome to the 'Customized ROM world.'
a bit lame that you don't follow your own signature, though. : /

I followed these steps myself. It took a total of 20 minutes to RSPL, HSPL and install and a custom rom (DeepShining Mango). Every great guide for noobies. Although, I must point out that you do not have WMDC stated in the guide. I got a little side tracked by that.
