[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]

First of all you will need .NET installed if you do not have it already. I would recommend .NET 3.5. You can download it from Microsoft here.
The most important part about flashing a rom is knowing what SPL version your phone has and what rom you want to use before you begin flashing. If you are at a point where you have already begun flashing and are now getting a green, distorted screen, having huge issues with the phone not responding and airplane mode being stuck on, that is because you have done the process wrong. Don't fret, you can simply start over with this guide. You can still place your phone into the bootloader so you are ok.
The first thing to do is check what your SPL version currently is. To do this you need to enter bootloader by:
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 (This is bootloader).
Plug in your phone to your computer via USB. At the very bottom of the screen it should show USB.
Once you know what your SPL version currently is you need to decide whether you want to use USPL or HSPL to flash roms.
The difference between USPL and HSPL:
HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.
Now that you have decided which route you want to go as far as SPL's go, temporarily disable or uninstall your virus scanning software as 90% of them will conflict with flashing.
If you wish to use HSPL and it shows your current SPL as:
Anything but 1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL1) on post 2
1.56.OliNex - go to step (HSPL4) on post 2
If you wish to use USPL and it shows your current SPL as:
Anything but 1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL1) on post 3
1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL5) on post 3
If you are getting errors during the RUU process, read this guide for descriptions of the error codes and associated solutions/suggestions!
If you need to update your USB drivers, read this guide for step-by-step instructions!
MOD EDIT (01/10/09)
Video guide to help newbies out with loading ROMs

HSPL Method
Use this method only if you selected the HSPL route from the first post!
HSPL1 - Downloads
(HSPL1a) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(HSPL1b) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on device which is based on 1.56+
(HSPL1c) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
(HSPL1d) SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip
(HSPL1e) Extract each item to its own folder
HSPL2 - Flash new SPL (1.56.OliNex)
(HSPL2a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL2b) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (HSPL1a) and follow it as normal.
(HSPL2c) If successful, go to step HSPL3. If the flashing process sits at 0% and you get Error [260] connection after some time, go to step (Troubleshooting).
HSPL3 - Check SPL version
(HSPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL3b) When the bootloader appears it should show SPL v 1.56.OliNex. If it does go to step (HSPL4). If it does not something happened so repeat step (HSPL2).
HSPL4 - Flash new 1.56+ rom
(HSPL4a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(HSPL4b) If the rom you downloaded from step (HSPL1b) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (HSPL1c). Make sure the .nbh file from step (HSPL1b) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.
(HSPL4c) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.
(HSPL4d) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button. You should see a message saying "This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel." Do exactly what it says...
You are done!
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.

USPL Method
Use this method only if you selected the USPL route from the first post!
USPL1 - Downloads
(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip
(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom - Your end result rom, i.e. rom you want on device which is based on 1.56+
(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
(USPL1f) Extract each item to its own folder
USPL2 - Updating HTC USB Sync driver
(USPL2a) Follow my guide here on updating the HTC USB Sync driver.
USPL3 - Flash new SPL (1.54.0000)
(USPL3a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL3b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.
(USPL3c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.
(USPL3d) Run HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from the download in step (USPL1b). Do not click any buttons on the screen when the application appears.
(USPL3e) Copy RUU_Signed.nbh that you extracted from the download in step (USPL1a) and overwrite the one in the directory where you ran HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe from. If you get an error message saying that the file is already in use that is because you clicked one or more buttons in the HardSPL application window once it appeared. If that happens to you, exit from it, start it again, and DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING YET.
(USPL3f) Now you can continue in the HardSPL application and follow it as normal. Basically what you are doing is flashing the stock 1.54.0000 SPL to your phone by overwriting the HardSPL's .NBH file with the stock one.
USPL 4 - Check SPL version
(USPL4a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL4b) When the bootloader appears it should show SPL v 1.54.0000. If it does go to step (USPL5). If it does not something happened so repeat step (USPL3).
USPL 5 - Flash new 1.56+ rom
(USPL5a) Place your phone into its bootloader.
(USPL5b) Run USPL.exe from the download in step (USPL1c). Remember to disable your antivirus for this. Some provide a false positive that it is a virus/trojan. When the application appears click on Run USPL.
(USPL5c) Your phone should reboot and return to its bootloader but saying SPL v 1.15.USPL and USB at the bottom. If it does not show USB after some time, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from your phone.
(USPL5d) If the rom you downloaded from step (USPL1d) does not include BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe then use the download from step (USPL1e). Make sure the .nbh file from step (USPL1d) and BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe are in the same folder.
(USPL5e) Run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe and follow it as normal.
(USPL5f) Hard reset afterwards. Once or twice- up to you. Twice has been recommended. Turn off your phone. I personally do it right after flashing completes and I see the "Smart Mobility" screen. I just yank the battery out instead of waiting for it to boot up all the way and go through customization process just to hard reset Hold the volume down button and volume up button while you press the power on button.

Dude, this is tight!!! Awesome Yo!

Loveleh!

I am so frustrated!!!!!!!!! I have followed these instructions to a T, and I still get an error when trying to flash to 2.8. I keep getting the error: [240] File Open.
Can someone please help me???
Thanks!

You've been a busy boy!!!
Excellent post mate, was getting sick of posting this process myself. Now all I have to do is direct them all here, or to the wiki

Awesome stuff. I wish this was around the other night when I spent hours and hours reading and reading before finally sorting it out.
I failed at your step 7 however as I think it was 2am and I was passing out in front of the PC whilst rebooting and hard resetting over and over. Beer tonight then!
Cheers

This guide totally saved my life (A.K.A phone).
Thank you very much.

Wow... excellent mate!
Thanks!

Thanks for this great work.
Unfortunately Im stuck at step 5d
USB connection in Activesync mode is off.
My phone is in bootloader, "Serial" change to "USB" aswell
However when I launch blac_uspl.exe in command prompt (in windows XP) I have the following error : D:\Mes documents\Downloads\uspl_2.5>blac_uspl

Yes, download the USB drivers from above and extract them to a folder. Mind where you extract them. Follow these steps:
(1) Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc
(2) Look for HTC USB Sync
(3) Double-click it and click the Driver tab
(4) Click Update Driver
(5) On new screen tell it not to use Windows Update
(6) Install from a specified location
(7) Check only box that says "Include this location in the search"
(8) Click Browse and locate the extracted drivers you downloaded
(9) After selecting click next and select the new driver
(10) After it is updated reboot and try USPL again
Let me know how it works.

What is giving you this message? The RUU? What step are you at in my guide? Do you get USPL run successfully? Does your bootloader on your phone show 1.15.USPL and USB when it's connected to your computer?

Keep up the good work bro and you'll be a MOD soon enough!!!

Thanks for the quick reply.
Up to step 5, everything is ok.
but It wont let me update saying its impossible to update the drivers.
1 more thing i want to mention is that i found those inf & cat files already present in c:\winnt\inf folder. ofcourse the size is not the same.
I will try to update the drivers again though Im starting to assume that my windows dont see a different between already present files and new extracted files.

You can force Windows to accept the new driver files. You just have to tell it that you "Have Disk" and locate those files. Once you do it will show a dialog where you can select the device and it should overwrite your current driver with the one from the download.

HOW TO FLASH ROM ON JADE FROM THE SD CARD (Thx to Haree) (Original Thread)
1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to JADEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.
2.Poweroff your phone
3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone
4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install
Note : it should take about 10-15 mins
also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better
this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)

First you should successfully do HardSPL then try flashin ROM. without hardSPL u cannot Flash any custom ROM.
Should Read the HardSPL thread carefully..
Check ur internet connection ( No Proxy )
Install the Software in your Jade when Directed by HardSPL

I did the HardSPL, but I dun know why the tricolor screen still shows 1.40.0000 instead of 1.40.1000.
not running ny proxy, on SNBB.
Touch 3G devices. for JADE100

can I ask what a rom is best for jade? I prefer speed and stability. Sorry for my english, she is not good.thanks

why isit that HrdSPL keep telling me tat the software is for non comercial use only, and I couldnt even flash the bootloader!

IronEagle,
ActiveSync can only be used when flashing with Windows XP PC, with Vista PC you need Windows Mobile Device Center from here:

Big Problem with Diamond

Hi,
i've a big problem with my diamond
it starts normally, but after htc splash screen, it tries to load windows but after 1-2 seconds it restart.
i was using cooked rom gen.Y D2 rev.Y with radio 1.09.25.23
G 52.51.25.26H
i've tried with original rom 2.03 but the problem still remains.
What can i do to resolve this problem?
Where can i find original radio and G (what does it stand for?) to put inside my htc with original rom for probably warranty assistence (i hope)
i've also olinex1.40 spl, how can i remove it?
Thank you in advance
Gianluca

SOunds like a bad flash to me. Try using MTTY to reflash. Should work fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290

how can i run this procedure:
Connect Device to PC via Active Sync, Once Connected Uncheck USB Connections,DISCONNECT DEVICE then Reboot Computer
if the device can't start completely?

Flash from your System not the Internal Storage. Read the 4th post.

i can't install drivers on my win7 x64 because i can't follow the first post "how to install drivers" so with the mtty.exe it doesn't find the usb driver

In that case see if you can get into bootloader.
(Reset + Hold Vol Down), this will show the Red, Blue, Green screen showing "Serial"
Then plug your usb cable in and you should get it showing "USB".
You then need to Hard SPL and reflash.

yes i've succesfully installed drive on win7 x64
i've run mtty.exe, followed the instructions, all ok.
then i've disconnected the diamond from usb and made an hard reset (it says press vol.up to restore manufacturer default, vol. down to restore and format movinanand, i press vol. up, and after vol.up again: is it the hard reset or is it another menu?)
but after restart the htc has same problem..it continues to restart by itself

i've decided to return htc to stock software and firmware in order to send him in warranty to delaer.
so, i've installed last official rom htc 2.03, it includes the radio.
Now after that, because system doesn't want to start completely, also after mtty.exe format ecc., the last thing i've to do is install official spl right?
i've found the guide:
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.
2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.
that's it.
what official spl have i to install? 1.23 1.34 1.37?

i've tried with all the 3 spl but nothing changed i think, because when i open the bootloader it still saying 1.40olinex

Need Help Please With My HTC P3600 Hardspl error (260)

Hi, i would like to somebody helps me, i got my htc recently and i can't do it a hardspl i do all the steps and when it comes to almost finish gave an error i've tried with many different hardspl and nothing, i will show you the erros that gaves me... please help me with this problem, cause i can't do anything to my htc...

Hi
I have the some problem, I have follow this guide :
Step 2 - Upgrade to Hard SPL
Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.
Before you proceed, check which SPL is on your device. Manually enter the Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time. If your SPL is 3.20.Olipro then you already have Hard-SPL on your device and can skip this step and proceed to upgrade your ROM or radio.
1. Download the Hard-SPL for P3600i (do NOT use any of the Hard-SPL's for Trinity/DoPod)
* Hard SPL 3.20.Olipro (P3600i HardSPL v1.1)
2. Unzip the Files, and click on ‘ROMUpdateUtility.exe’

3. Check the checkbox, and click ‘next’

4. Follow the directions in the window, and establish an activesync connection with your device
* Make sure the activesync icon is be green (finished synchronizing)
* Make sure your battery is charged

5. Check the checkbox, click ‘next’
Image Missing
6. In the next window, click the ‘Update’ button
This will show the version number of the ROM, radio, or in this case bootloader that you are about to flash.

7. After the version number has appeared, click next

8. In the following window, click ‘next’
after you click this, the flash will begin, so do not disconnect your device or do anything stupid on your computer

!NOTE! (quoted straight from Jon's post on first page)
WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260). THIS IS EXPECTED.

It looks like it's about to flash and then errors. BUT your phone is on the 3-colour bootloader screen! How odd. Well KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN, and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL (obviously connect your phone and stuff back to your PC).
The point here is this: the first time it will fail, but at least manage to get the bootloader up. With this bootloader up, exit the flashing program, restart it, and then you should be able to run the flashing program and have it complete.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR PHONE HAS THE OLIPRO HARDSPL INSTALLED after completion, by soft-resetting (hold the power and camera buttons at the same time AND use the stylus to press the putton at the bottom of the phone. You might not get it the first time, but with practice you'll get the hang of it).
9. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen, and your trinity will display a grey screen with progress bar. Be patient while your device is being updated.

10. Once your device is finished updating, it will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU program.

To confirm is Hard-SPL is on your device, manually enter Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time. If successful you will see the tri-colour screen and the following will be displayed
Hard SPL 3.20.Olipro (P3600i HardSPL v1.1)
but also after restart a lot of time HARDSPLromupdateutility.exe, I still have the same problem!
anybody may help me?

Now I have stratos image,
maybe is this the problem?

Hi
Pls I need help, I tried to upgrade my HTC P3600 then my computer crash so now every time I try to start my phone all what I got is a picture (HTC start mobility) and then nothing.
Pls help me.
Thanks

Hi gys, I think that this is my first post, but I want to share some solution for with you. The most important think with "connection" errors is to have HSPL installed correctly. I was trying to install on my HD2 universal ones, like Hard spl v7 and 9, but problems occured. So after trying everything, I found HSPL (on this forum) just for HD2. After that, everything wass like a charm

Hi,
my P3600 has a serious problem! I've flashed an Elegant Ed. (but I don't remeber the version). Now, I'd like to reinstall original ROM, but this is the results:
1) PC WIN VISTA: Activesync get ON, the PC see the PPC and the result is CONNECTED.
2) Incoming to update the PPC but the error IS 260 (communication error)
3) in the bootloader is indicated:
a) TRIN100 - IPL-0.50
b) TRIN100 - SPL-1.07.0000
c) serial
4) I downloaded [P3600i] HardSPL v1.1 and installs its on PPC and in bootloader there's (but error 260 continues to work )
a) TRIN100 - IPL-0.50
b) TRIN100 - SPL-3.10.Olimpo
c) PPC in bootloader config.
d) serial
5) Now, there's a SPL on my PCC !!! Connect and disconnect my USB cable by PPC, leaving PPC in bootloader configuration and by activesync disable "connect by USB"
6) insert usb cable in PPC, but it doesn't go to USB
..... I do not know what to do !!!!
Please help my

You have choice a wrong HardSPL !!!
Olipro 3.10 and 3.20 are for HTC P3600i and no working for TRINITY P3600.
So, now probabily you don't see "USB" on Bootloader when you connect you trinity on PPC.
Solution:
You must reload your H-SPL With SD CArd.
It's very simple:
searching for a Hard SPL for trinity device, example Olipro 1.20 and rename file "RUU_signed.nbh" ---> "TRINIMG.nbh".
Then copy file "TRINIMG.nbh" in a SD CARD and insert it on your Trinity; After that , make a Soft reset with stylus reset +power+camera.
Power bottom for update your Bootloader.
Now you would see your trinity working again

My Head hurts....

I am trying to install 6.5 on my HTC touch HD.
i have looked at the guides, but i am getting nowhere......stuck at 0% on the flashing.
I want to flash Energys rom onto my phone.
Phone is currently
SPL 1.14.000
Radio 1.09.25.14
Rom 1.19.61.1 WWE
what do i need and how do i do it ?
i have downloaded
HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex,
SSPL-Manual-TouchHD,
Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex,
Energy.BLACKSTONE.29018.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Apr.18
i have tried on both WinXP and Win 7 Systems, same error 262

1- have you tried installing the htc usb sync drivers manually? -->google
2- do you ever see the tri-color bootloader screen? If not you could try to put it in bootloader manually? you can do that by holding vol down+power button. You do have to turn it of first, and you have to remove the usb cable. WARNING: do not pull out the usb cable while its flashing, you won't be able to start your phone then (you can still flash roms though)
hope this helps

when connecting device to pc does bottom of bootloader (tri colour screen) change from "serial" to usb"? If not you need to either update drivers (see link in Dummies Guide) or open activesync and ensure that "allow usb connections" is enabled in connection settings
If above is all ok then you need to follow guide and get yourself HSPL
If getting stuck at 0% try trouble shooting section and use SSPL
Either way, please post further queries regarding flashing in Dummies Guide thread
