Blu R1 HD 6.1 not flashing - BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers

I bought the prime version 2 days ago and tried flashing and rooting with spfl, but nothing seems to work. Any help? Its still 6.1

You didn't provide any details on what, exactly, errors you had. I followed colton's excellent guide and had no problems: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/guide-convert-to-prime-rollback-ota-t3432499
What method did you use and what errors did you get? Whatever you do, don't accept any over-the-air updates!

My 6.1 worked fine with this tutorial.

Reverting back to HTC ROM and SPL for warranty return?

At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.
I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly until I got a hardware problem (radio) . This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.
Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline
At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?
Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?
Thanx a lot.
have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.
I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.
and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl
With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.
Too bad It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.
Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.
Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened??
It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.
Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.
Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.
Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?
I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.
Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?
Thank you in advance.
Hallo HSN,
if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.

Did i brick it ?

OK i think i ****ed up bigtime.
I was on HSPL, and at first i flashed a stock rom.
After that i flashed DUtty's rom and it went ok.
It booted up with green screen problem and loads of locks and really really slow. After that i tried to use uspl but i was getting connection problems. After that i thought i should go to 1.15 stock spl and so i flashed that one, in order to use uspl. But the problems still persist, and now i cant revert back to a previous cooked rom.
Any suggestions ?
Use Manually Bootloader
Go back to stock spl, first flash stock rom, use sspl manual turn olinex and flash stock spl and then u can hspl again.
Hope it solves the prob. Just take a look at my Grafik Problem thread!

Hi,
Why, Windows 7 has the same drivers like Vista???
Can You express more crearly?
i flashed on Win 7 (build 7077)... i had to roll back the HTC USB Sync driver as explained in many threads about flashing the latest HD ROM v 1.56. i think some of our fellow members are not following all the steps to flash with the new ROM/SPL.

A message to all flashers:
Read the instructions thorougly. If you cannot say that you understand 100 % of what the instructions tells you, read them again or do some research.
After following these steps you will almost certainly have a much better experience with custom ROMs.

i tried reverting the drivers but it is simply not working. i am thorough and i do read the details.
I had no problems with the drivers. I just followed the correct procedures mentioned in the wiki and post#6 of Duttys v2.8 rom
Have you tried rebooting pc afterwards and pressing F8 as per the instructions to help load them?
i flash on windows 7 7068 almost 10+ times already with no issue , using custom ruu.

Same here. Use Windows 7 (7068) as my only OS and I've been flashing 20+ roms without any problems.

The instructions for all the different flashing methods are a big mess if you ask me.
There is no red thread, they all just blend together in a big mess and leave out answeres to simple questions that would clearify stuff for newbies.
The more i read the long pages of instructions the more confused i get.

I agree, they can be confusing, but once you have mastered it, you'll wonder what the problem was!
What exactly are you confused with? What steps have you taken? Where are you now in the process?
Don't worry about the phone it will be ok.
The steps are as follow:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash a stockrom
3). Flash USPL 2.5
4). With USPL on your phone flash to Dutty
To revert back to previous roms:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash your previous rom.
Grtz,
Leo

Im fine, thanx, I have flashed my phone twice without big problems.
But the second time I got really confused when i tried to really understand it and followed the instructions step by step, it just sent me in a loop between all the different pages.
A simple question and a simple answere in the ROM-thread solved my confusion then, and now I just ignore the ramblings in the instruction pages.

I have a question about this. As my HD was replaced (warranty) I don't know which version I have (O2 or HTC). My first HD was a O2 branded with 1.14.207 ROM, the replaced one (from the same supplier) came with the 1.14.407 ROM which is the official German HTC ROM. I've just tried to download the newly released ROM by HTC, but the site states that the new ROM is not available for my device (but I could at least register the device). Could be that this is because it's an O2 device or probably because the new ROM wasn't yet released in German?
So is it really important to flash exactly the stock ROM (as the CID has to fit) or is it okay - like Laurentius said - to flash any stock ROM? Don't wanna brick my device when upgrading to 1.54/1.56...btw...why one has to go to a stock ROM when upgrading to 1.5x afterwards? Is there a difference when upgrading from 1.14 to 1.5x instead of 1.19 to 1.5x? I didn't get it yet...
Thanks in advance,

Any stock rom should do it as Laurentius said
A lot of confusion has come about from these newer cooked 1.56 roms so I wrote a guide. If you still have confusion please read the guide in my signature
Windows 7 is also most definitely not an issue. Several of us here are using it successfully.

Help!My Blackstone fails to accept a WM6.5 rom, as it used to the past!

Hi guys, I've been using the Energy roms quite often and I can say I did not fail to upgrade any of the updates. Today, my Blackstone "freezed" while I was surfing on the internet using opera, I took off the battery and I turned it on again but no success, so I decided to upgrade the rom (I was using the 25th Dec Rom). I followed the same procedure as always and when the installation ended the phone failed to boot. It reached at the stage where you are asked to enter the pin code, I typed it and then "nothing"! It kept frozen no matter what I was trying to do. I did several hard resets, I re-installed the latest rom (both versions) but nothing
Anyone knows how to fix this issue????
I need to say that in trying to fix this issue, I installed an old rom which was based on Windows 6.1 and the phone worked just fine, but the whole rom was so old, so I could not stay with that one. This means that the phone is not broken, right?
I also followed someone's here suggestion to go back to the original stock rom, hard reset and then install again the WM 6.5 roms. But again, this did not change anything. Is there a way to make the phone "accept" the WM 6.5 roms, as it used to accept them before???
Please help me cause I cannot live without this phone!!!
Thanks in advance for all those experts who are willing to share their suggestions with me!

Have you tried various wm6.5 roms, possibly as bad download? Obviously I'm assuming you have either HSPL on device or you re-used USPL before flashing rom?
Did you flash back to original stock rom & SPL? i.e. rom and SPL which was on device when you bought it?
I had the same problem on the same rom, flashed stock rom then back to energy's. Been working fine ever since
Did you do a hard reset after installing energy rom too?

Thank you very much for your response! I followed your suggestion to go back to the stock rom and spl and then flash cooked rom, although Energy roms still refused to install after all this procedure! I don't know why, because they have been working and installed just fine in the past. I suceed on flashing a Miris rom, not the latest one but an old one I had in my computer and fortunately it worked! So, according to the results of my experiment, my phone accepts WM6.5 roms, but not Energy roms! I will be waiting for an update of Energy roms to see if the new version will be accepted by my phone!!!
Thanks again for the assistance!

Thanks for the response, read what I wrote in my response to the other friend!
I got similar issues before, the phone just couldn't boot or hard reset itself after one or two days with many different 6.5 ROMs. Did an mtty task 29 then it looks good now for a week. If it still failed I would follow Fallen Spartan's suggestion to flash stock ROM+SPL.

hmmm, after returning to stock rom & SPL. What was your SPL in bootloader? Did you follow dummies guide afterwards and use USPL or HSPL before trying to flash NRG rom? Did you try a different rom? Whats your current SPL?

[Q] HD7 Button response Problems - Hardware issue?

Hello everyone,
I have the following Problems: After a while of use, my HD7 stops responding to button usage. The Screen stays operational and it won't lock or turn off by itself anymore, what drains the battery pretty fast. Basically, the OS seems to be working, but some Programs wont open or close. All Buttons are affected - Power, Volume, und Back/Windows/Search.
As I expected it to be an OS malfunction, I flashed SLSPL, downgraded the bootloader to 1.69.xx, Rspl/Hspled and installed an old Stock rom, afterwards flashed Dynamics 2.0 ROM, but the problem is persistent. Before I used to have the HTC Europe 7.8 Stock Rom.
Does this look familiar to anyone? Problem occurs with and without SIM. Could it be a SDcard malfunction?
Current setup is:
OS: 7.10.8862.144
Firmware: 2250.21.51201.401
Hardware rev. nr. 0002
Radio software ver. 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
radio hardware ver A.102.0.D4
bootloader 3.1.2250.0(119314)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Solved
To all who might have similar problems: replacing the microSD solved it. For the procedure, I followed along Wolfman017's great step-by-step tutorial in this thread. as my HD7 had no warranty anymore, sending it in was no option.

Same problem here, but I replaced the microSD card with a new one and after a while the new card is also broken
Can this be caused by a new software release? Did you downgrade first and then replace the SD card ?
Thanx in advance,
Dirk-Jan
Yes,
unfortunatly my posting was a little early. After a few days the problems reoccured. Before I changed the SD-Card, I downgraded RSPL/HSPL via HTC Europe SLSPL method, flashed an BL 1.69 StockRom and then flashed the Custom Rom. After installing the new card and still having the problems, I downgraded again and tried the original stock Rom (Windows Phone 7.0), and even here the issue was persistent. It didnt went away with upgrading via zune, but on one update zune reported an update error, The phone finished the update nevertheless
and seemed to work.
On the first time, the problem came up after the stock upgrade to 7.8, so I think it might be a broken phone
Please let me know if you manage to find a solution!
Best regards
Hi, thats to bad, don't have a solution yet. Seems we're not the only one with this problem, found a thread on answers.microsoft.com about this butr no solution there.
I don't have much experience with installing custom roms, etc. Can you share more details about what you did exactly to downgrade, or perhaps a website with some howto's about the steps you took?
Regards,
Dirk-Jan
Hey Dirk,
to Flash custom Roms, you first have to downgrade the bootloader of your phone. As I presume you are placed in Europe you can use the SLSPL method, See this thread for information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904 Many thanks to ansar for the great work.
2nd step is to install RSPL/HSPL to "open" the phone to custom Roms. See this thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Afterwards, you can flash any custom rom you find in the HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development- section of the board. There are great step-by-step tutorials there. Please read carefully through the threads to not make any mistakes. Worked great for me =)
Best regards,
Jan
Update - Still no solution
As there still seems to be no solution for this problem, I have bought another used HD7 und customized it with the gold card method. I tested the SD Card of the phone and it seems to be broken, not even several recovery tools advised here on xdadev were able to even read it. Unfortunatly, replacing the SD Card did not help, so maybe its just a bricked phone
