I am trying to flash the ROM on my Touch Pro 2 before I sell it. I am running windows XP on a mac using Parallels 5.0. I have tried running the ROM update when active sync is connected and all starts ok then I get error 226 saying cannot connect. I then tried flashing straight from a newly FAT32 formatted microSD card and that jsut stocks on with a Loading message. So I tried flashing Hardspl, although I think that I have done this before when I still had a pc, but that failed with a connection error too. Any tips/advice anyone?
You need to provide more information. Are you trying to flash a custom ROM, and which one? What ROM are you running now? What version of the phone do you have/what carrier?
If you are still HardSPLed, the second line of text on the bootloader (tri-color) screen will say "OliNex", probably saying "SPL-0.85.Olinex". If it doesn't say this, the SPL is locked, and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
If you are trying to flash the stock ROM, I think some people have been having trouble doing so with the phone HardSPLed. But it may depend on what stock ROM. I am able to flash the Euro stock ROM just fine on my HardSPLed phone.
ok, i'll try to answer your request for more info:
trying to flash Energy Rom build 23699.
Existing ROM version is listed as 2.07.401.1 (80303) WME dated 2/4/10.
Phone is an unbadged HTC Touch Pro 2 as sold by Tmobile etc in UK.
Can't see any mention of OliNex on bootloader screen, so perhaps I didn't unlock= it after all. Certainly no T mobile stuff left on the phone now.

Don't know off hand what ROM that you have installed right now. What do the boot screens look like when you start the phone? Also, what does the bottom row of red letters say, when you startup the phone?
If it doesn't say Olinex on the bootloader screen, you are not HardSPLed. Either you never did it, or you relocked it.
Run HardSPL, and you should be able to flash from the SD card no problem.
Redpoint. Thanks for your replies and interest. I have tried to run HardSpl but this fails with a 260 connection error, even though Activsync is synced and connected. Id this to do with running a virtual pc on a mac perhaps?
Your welcome, hope my advice is helpful.
HardSPL is pretty finicky, even on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems. I think running it on a Mac is difficult or even impossible. You can search the HardSPL thread and see if anyone was able to get it to run on Mac. I'm pretty sure I read different users on that thread mentioning issues with running HardSPL on Mac.
My best advice would be to run HardSPL on a friend's Windows XP system, if possible. It usually runs smoothly on XP, and only takes a couple minutes.
Yes, that confirms my suspicions. I will try it frommy partners windows XP netbook whenshe gets home. Fingers crossed.
Will let you know how I get on and if I need any more help!
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.

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

Hi every one ! i have a HTC HD7 from T-mobile and i did the Mango beta update on it and i did not make a backup file, i have been trying to go back to the previous OS settings but all of the programs or ROM that i try running, can not see the phone connected to the computer. I get error 260, not one of ansar ROM can see my cell as been connected even though i check that it is and that active sync sees the phone as been plugged in and the drivers are installed. Can any one help me to do this down grade, please
you'll need to d/l a rom from ansthar, based on who your cell phone provider is.
Please, give some more info about your phone (OS version,Radio software version etc...).

you see i did use the windows phone support tool and i run the tool to its completion but the mango update did not install, than i downloaded a program called "provision" than i downloaded the zune 4.8 than the update started automatically and smoothly . i soon after deleted the window phone support tool thinking that i would not need it again, until i read that i need a back up to restore my phone if i wanted to install the mango update later. will i have downloaded just about every tool out there to restore my phone but when i run the tool it does not see the phone as been connected , i checked and i see the phone plug in my activesync so i was wondering that since mango is installed this programs do not see it since they where made for nodo. your help will be greatly appretiated , thanks in advance
Are you using the new Zune for Mango? cause the old zune won't recognise your phone
try this link Here
See if you can go back with zune... ALWays BAck Up!!
Ok. To what tfn wrote I say YES you should always make a backup and you can do it as it's explained on the link he provided.
For Your phone, since you dont have backup go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876451 and find RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09U_by_ansar.
Download it - this is original ROM for flashing your phone - it will take you back to 7004 version. Follow the instructions in ansars post.
This one worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344 - here you can follow instructions for updating to NoDo and Mango.
Now some important thing...
1. When you are taking beckup you have to have Zune 4.7 installed (not 4.8)
2. You can also see my thread (it could be helpfull) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179095
I hope you will make it!
i will give this a try and thanks for the help
i guess i'm **** out of luck, i did everything as written on the post and I did manage to get the ChevronWP7. ChevronWP7 does not see the phone as been connected , i try the steps with zune4.7 and 4.8 and i get the same message the chevronwp7 can not connect to the phone, also when i run the Application Deployment throws an error stating that the phone is developer locked and i need to contact Microsoft for steps on how to unlock it .
I need some help..can someone with a T-Mobile US phone please list all regedit keys for the HD7. After screwing around with the regedit settings to enable the HD7 read as a storage device, this happened and is the cause for Zune or any other program to not read the phone.. thanks in advance. i need all regedit keys with values and exact name.

Did you get your phone to 7004 version with flashing?
If yes then:
1. send to your e-mail (which you have configured on your phone) chevron.cer in attachment
2. open that mail on your phone and tap on attacment
3. install cetificate
4. in settings on the phone turn on FLIGHT MODE
5. connect the phone to a computer and start Zune
6. run Chevronwp7.exe as administrator
7. check those 2 boxes and press unlock
DONE.
I just did it on mine hd7 (just to be sure).
No i could not do a thing, no one of the steps that you have recommended have work, all i get is an error message from every single software that the device is not connected so i cant do a thing . is like my phone is not connected and i get error. i get the same error weather i have zune 4.7 installed or 4.8 . i also get a message from Application Deployment : the device is pin locked or the device is developer locked , contact microsoft on how to unlock the device or go to a web address . I mite be missing some drivers or something
To downgrade, you need to boot into the bootloader first.
1) Power off the phone (while disconnected from USB)
2) Hold volume up and press the power button
3) Continue to hold volume up until you see the RGB screen
At this point it will say something like "Serial Mode"
4) Plug in USB
5) Wait until it says something like "USB Mode" (you may need to install drivers on your PC, they're available via windows update, so you don't need to go searching for them)
At this point, you can run ROMUpdateUtility.exe, and it should succeed.
EDIT:
You only need to do this if downgrading via the RUU. To restore a backup via Zune, this is unnecessary.
The only program that seems to see the hd7 connected to the computer is zune4.8 if I install 4.7 it just does not see the phone connected. I got a windows XP tower hat I'm thinking to try all this steps and see if I can do it, actually do all the software I downloaded would work in windows XP?
Try the steps that I mentioned. If Zune opens, close it.
I had the exact same issue that you are, and this is how I was able to revert to a earlier version.

is your device in the Bootloader?
Hi,
do you have the same error every time?
try to flash this stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984902
then re-install r/hspl and flash dft's...
hope you'll enjoy freedom rom!
I have a question regarding a similar problem once a custom rom is loaded. I want to avoid updating thru Zune and update from the RUU without it deleting my apps, email setup, etc in Bootloader Mode. Anyway to do that?
is your device in the Bootloader?
Yes, I go into the bootloader and can update but does a clean of the rom. I want to upgrade from DeepShining v 4.0 to 5.0 now without it erasing and reinstalling all my apps again. Is there a way to do that?
Nope, not how the WP7 devices work. Because of how WP7 sees the filesystem, it HAS to clear the memory every time you load a different ROM
Is there a way to backup the programs and such, do the update, and restore? I know the Zune software does that in the background when updating via it but is there a way for custom roms to do that?
As of now, my SPL is downgraded to 1.18, with RSPL and HSPL already installed. I downloaded Windows Mobile Device center, I'm running Windows 7 x86...
I always get the "not connected" message with the device center no matter what, even though I see Windows Mobile drivers in device panel. I've downloaded Deepshining Rom, double clicked on the ROM updater and first thing is it does not show my current image on the phone, when I keep clicking next, I get to the installation screen, with a 0% and then I get the Error 266 message.
I've restarted numerous times, not sure what is going on.
windows driver
drivers all installed in the PC? see in Device Manager check your wp7 device installed correctly, bite also uninstall and re-install wp7 device drivers. I think the error in communication between the PC and the device of wp7
I'm suffering the same problem. Any idea how to counter it? Having HD7 with CotullaHSPL installed. Previously installed deepshine custom room
same problem
me too i have the same problem and i can't find any answer of that
pls can anyone help here that would be great
You need to run in XP both Zune and ActiveSync for the connection to take place.
