SPL Problem. - Shadow General

I'm trying to install WM 6.1, however I have a problem.
I'm following the guide that comes with the clean dev edition.
Basically after I run the SSPL.bat file, and then "continue" with the insallation of the jumpspl file, my shadow just turns White.
That's it, no changes, the screen is just white.
I don't think I can run the RUU, since Windows Mobile Device is not connected no more.

That's the way it is.
After your Shadow turns white, just run the RUU. Don't mind the activesync.

And the RUU is the RomUpdateUtility.exe right?

Thanks POF:How i Upgraded my DOPOD C800 with WM6

HI,
Thanks for POF and other forum members.

Thanks
Jose
Can you mention the ipl and spl of your c800 before you had gone about with Hard-spl?

Hi mine is- before upgrade
SPL 1.09.0001
IPL 1.09.0001
ROM 1.7.707.3 WWE
ROM Date 11/01/06
Radio 2.69.90
protocol 4.1.13.30
Ext rom 1.7.707.106
OS 1.7.0.0
I also have a Dopod C800 with the same ipl & spl. Can you direct me to the POF Hard-Spl files that you used? I have the HTC P4350 WWE WM6 RUU. Any help is greatly appreciated...scared to death I'll brick the phone!
How i upgraded My DOPOD C800
STEP I:
Download the following files
1) USPL --- Flah centre.rar file from
http://www.mediafire.com/?axtm5qlmbli
2) Official RUU -HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
3) Make sure ur computer is always power on...not hibernated
Step II:
1) Create 2 folders eg:flash and rom.
2) Extract flash centre.rar in flash folder
3) Extract HTC_P4350.... ship.exe in rom folder .
( Use winrar or simply double click the file. It will start the upgrade window ,click next, then hold.Go to the temp folder, u will find all the extracted content there.Copy all the content to the new rom folder. After that cancel the upgrade window.)
4)After extracting the content in the rom folder ,*****delete the SPL.nbh file ****
Step III:
Connect your phone to the computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
Step IV
1)Open the flash folder --- follow the read me file in this folder
ie
2)Run herald-uspl.exe on your computer and follow the instructions on screen.
- it will run in command window and ask u to enter the values..follow the screen
After 2/3 steps if will ask u to chk the device-- the activesync green icon in ur computer will become grey and the screen of ur mobile will be blank-white.
!!! now u have sucessfully hard spl ur device!!!
**** dont touch or remove the connection or close any program****
3)After this it will start the RUU program ,follow the instruction ,click update ( u wont find any previous ROM installed),it may or will show ERROR [240] : FILE OPEN
clik finish/cancel and exit **this program only**.
4)Now without removing anything open the rom folder and clik the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the instruction.
thats it. ur mobile will be upgraded. dont get panic...it will take some time and the mobile will be white in colour.
Thanks
Jose
C800 upgrade success
Upgraded Dopod C800 with same IPL/SPL/RADIO parameters as mjose using his directions and it worked like a charm. Am WM6 with no issues now.
Thanks POF and mjose and everyone else on the forum for your help!
WHen using Herald-USPL - it is NOT permanently HARD-SPL!!!!
Please check the SPL now - and report....
if it doesn´t show 4.70.yang - then it is only USPL = temporarly CIDunlocked= NOT HARD-SPL
thx.
How much free memory did you get by upgrading to official HTC WM6? I got only 25mb free with no extended rom install!
C800 USPL vs Hard SPL
Poppamopps, you are quite correct. The update I performed was NOT Hard-SPL. I would prefer Hard-SPL but my understanding is that it should not be used on a device with IPL/SPL below 4.0. I am 1.9 both IPL/SPL.
Is there now a HARD-SPL that is safe to use on the Dopod C800 that is below 4.0 ?

i'm assuming nobody was awake. when you were posting....but i could be wrong.
i have no idea what a green screen means other than it's green hehe... and have never flashed a dopod.. but i'll pretend it's a herald?
can you put it in bootloader mode????
soft reset(put stylus in the hole)... and hold down the camera button..
you should get the tri-color screen..

hey thanks! yes. i've got the asian herald. i got into bootloader mode as per your suggestion - is that the one with red/green/blue horizontal bands with a thinner white band at the bottom? ok what should i do next?
i was able to run the ROM Update utility after that, but got an error 300. checked the documentation and found out that i used the wrong version for my phone, which was RUU -HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe. would you know which one i should use?
i'm guessing your phone is not an English phone?
you need to find the native RUU for your phone.. Taiwanese Mandarin> HK Traditional? Japanese?.... if you can find it, then put your phone into bootloader and run the RUU file from your pc.
other than that, I don't know if anyone here has access to asian RUU's
doesn't look good, can't seem to find my region's wm6 rom anywhere. even tried to restore using the original wm5 rom from htc website, but still getting error 300. i think running herald-uspl.exe initially could have somehow caused some corruption.
well, i might have to visit dopod's service center soon.
thanks for your help, mv3, greatly appreciated.
did you try looking for official ruu from asia.htc.com
I suggest you load that before going to the repair centre

Unable to downgrade my SPL from 3.13 to 2.20

Hi there,
Hope you can help me...
Since i bought my Cruise, I flashed it to the newest ROM version of HTC and it automatically installed SPL 3.13 with.
The problem is that if I want to install the WM 6.5 rom, I have to "Downgrade" My SPL version from 3.13.0000 to 2.20.
I followed the steps explained by "Olipro", but when the upgrade starts, RUU kills activesync (seems to be normal) and when the phone normally reboots in bootloader mode (like when you flash a new rom), nothing happens. The phone didn't shutdown and tries to establish a new USB connection !
I tried to turn manually the phone in bootloader mode on to force the SPL update, but the % bar stays at 0 and RUU returns a communication error (262).
I tried also to install the wm 6.5 rom without install SPL 2.2, but it crashes (stays @ 0% too)
I don't know how to install this stinky version of HARD SPL.
Heeeellllpppp !!
NOTE : I tried with or without µSd, does the same thing.
Thx
hmm try disabling firewall and antivirus one of them may be blocking the connection. Thats my only thought about it.
Thank you for the answer but it don't work...
Nobody can help me ?
Try to extract the files from the newest htc rom to a new folder, and then copy the "RUU_Signed.nbh" from the SPL V2 folder to the extracted files (to the new folder) and run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from the extracted files (from the new folder).
nope ...
Please, consider my asks...
I know there is necessarily a solution but I have not yet found.
I don't know where/why it is crashing.
What does the HTC need to downgrade the hardspl ?
Is there a protection that can't be bypassed with the 3.13 ?
The only thing that I can do atm, is flashing the official HTC rom (useless ^^).
The actual version of my rom is :
_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_FRA_3.13.406.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Thanking you in advance...

HSPL 3.13? In this ROM is ver. 3.13 drivers, not HSPL... If you have original ROM and you dont install Olipros HPSL, you have original HTC SPL...
When I enter bootloader mode, the HSPL version is : 3.13.0000
Of course it's the original htc HSPL.
The problem is that I can't downgrade it to the olipro's version : 2.20.
Did you try it on other PC?
2 PCs, 2 USB cables..
The official rom upgrade works fine, I dont think that the problem comes from the computer.
definite guide:
1. establish a connection with activesync via usb (orbit2 to pc)
2. start the romupdateutility provided in hardspl folder.
3. before it starts flashing, you need to also follow on-screen instructions on orbit2!!! execute jump-spl and stuff: click yes on orbit2!!
4. when the orbit2 states: Replug USB. you need to plug the usb-cable once off and then put it back to connect to your pc.
5. it starts flashing and restarts after its done.
Hi Manaaa,
I don't know what is jumpslp ??
I found it on the web (xda..), copied it in my "my documents" folder, ran it but it asks me a jump address (default is 0x00000000) and an spl (*nb) file..
What is jump spl ? What is the address to jump to? and where can I find the *nb file ?
In the olipro's hspl folder is only a *nbh file.
Thank you
I wouldn't recommend using a jump spl for our phones if there isn't one in the Hardspl Pack then one is not needed to be run.
Personally im still really confused by this so if i get it straight.
You are synced with activesync.
Run the file for Hardspl Run RomUpdateUtility.exe
Then go though. It switches off activesync.
Then what?? Exactly Does it ask you to replug the cable? Do you get the rom flash screen (with %) at all??
Also i dont think that spl flashes can be run from the booloader as it has to be a modded bootloader (jumpspl if you will), loaded by the program to be able to flash the new hardspl.
Also i know very little on this, this is as much as i understand it to be.

Normally, after killing activesync, the phone turns into bootloader mode. Mine stays in winCE and tries to establish new usb connection...
I also decided to force manually bootloader mode and killing activesync by myself.
I ran RUU again, it first checked the phone state (such as battery >50%, connectivity...)
CHECK : OK
Next step, by clicking "NEXT" on the RUU interface, the phone turns in "% mode" and the update starts but stays at 0%.
After a while, RUU returns an update error (such as 262).
Noway to flash hardSPL :'-( , v3.13 seems to be "write protected".
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process. If this happens, you can just soft reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue. At this stage the rom on the device is incomplete and it will not boot back up into Windows. You will need to place it into the bootloader to continue.

That is what error 262 is but really dont see why this happens either. And since you can boot into windows its not much help.
So it just wont go to flash it when you click it through, hmm
Your last resort would be to PM cmonex as she will have helped make this with oilpro. Ask and see if she can shed some light on this one. Maybe something has gone wrong somewhere (quite likely) that we don't know how to fix.
Stupid question but have you tried downloading, unzipping it again? May have been a bad dl... or unzip
Have tested it with about 10# DLs...
I PM'd Olipro, waiting for a response now
Flash back to HardSPL and don't Re-Plug
Hi Pixel,
Herewith are guide for you
1) Flash back to HardSPL and don't re-plug until end of session (5 minutes)
2) Flash back to original SPL 3.13 on this post . This original SPL for HTC Touch Cruise only
3) After you do this you cannot flash with other Cooked ROM or Shipped ROM
with different ID, unless you flash back to HardSPL
Good Luck my friend
I have exactely in the same configuration as Pixel69 with the same result.
I've tried to an other PC without any change.
Has somebody any idea?
Just had an idea what OS are you running to do it?
If its not 7 may not be fully compatible... Shot in the dark really

[Solved!] Problem with flashing! (1.48 NLD > 1.66 WWE)

Hello,
A friend of mine told me it was able to just flash the rom by running the .exe from the htc website, nothing else was required.
So I did, and then it went wrong
I got an error fairly at the beginning of the flashing saying:
ERROR 294 (Invalid Vendor ID) I believe.
So that´s that, no problem, I´ll just put the standard Dutch rom back right?
Wrong, that rom says my phone isn't responding..
I can't use my phone right now, it doesn't go to contacts for example, and it can't start Sense.
I also get an error after a reboot "Problem with cprog.exe", and "Goog" can't be opened.
I've read all sorts of things about goldcard, HSPL and more. Can someone please tell me how to properly fix this? It's not important if the Dutch 1.48 rom or the WWE 1.66 rom is being flashed to it, but I just need to phone to work again, then I'll get the rom flashing thing sorted out.
ps: I used win7 while flashing, also read that this could be a potential problem?
Please help me
You need to wait till 1.66 NLD comes out.
WWE can be only flashed using Goldcard, SSPL, HSPL
I understand that, but can you tell me how to flash an older NLD rom back?
The RUU says my phone doesn't respond.

Download the 1.48 NLD from HTC.com
Start your device, you should see a black grey warning sign.
Plugin cable, run exe and follow the steps.
That doesn't work, also my phone doesn't seem to be bricked, it just won't start Sense.
I can go into wm 6.5's start menu etc. It just doesn't boot the rom because there is none i guess?
When plugging in the cable and running the exe, it just says "Err 244, device not responding" because I can't make an activesync connection.

Shutdown Device.
Hold Camer button and then press (while holding camera button) the shutdown button.
This brings you into the bootloader.
Plugin cable till the screen changes from Serial to USB.
Flash ROM.
I'm sorry, but what do you mean by the 'Camera' button?
I've tried holding the camera icon in the wm menu, and then pressing the off button, but it just locks the screen.
I'm feeling like a retard now haha, but I really can't figure it out.

Just Flash HSPL and be free to do whatever you want.
Just in case you want to return it, flash NLD 1.48 back using the SD card method, and your phone is ready to be sent back to HTC
Yeah just flashed HSPL onto it.
Do you recommend using the sd card method or the active sync method for the 1.66 WWE rom?
And thanks again man It works fine again.

Active Sync.
Cause flashing a Stock rom using SD card method, will flash your SPL back to stock.
So this way you will get the invalid vendor ish....
Done, now running 1.66 WWE

HI,
I used the HSPL2_1024, selected the 2.0.0.8
After 10 min, of using Energy.Leo.23549.Sense2.5_TMobile_USA.Mar.26
I got an error, I recovered, but wondering what happened??
Just try it again. Make sure your drivers are all complete from Windows Vista or 7. Make sure you are running 6.1 Windows Mobile Device Center.
I am sure you have done this but make sure:
Plug in your phone make sure the drivers are good with Active Sync on.
When you get into HSPL2_1024 and let it run your device will be found again in USB mode. Just to make sure the drivers are loaded correctly.
Flash - reboot and then flash the Energy or whatever USTMO compatible cooked ROM you like. I think there are only 2/3 that work with the ROM 2.08
Sometimes it just takes retracing your steps to get it to work right.
good luck.
I didn't want to make a new thread for this and clutter up the board, I'm kind of a noob to XDA you see. I just bought a Tmobile HD2 and downloaded and applied the HSPL linked in this thread, it all worked fine. My problem is: Will installing the 2.09.51.03 radio on my tmous HD2 hurt it? Was the 2.09 radio meant for the htc hd2 which has a different radio?
My main goal is to get Artemis rom on it.
Thanks for your time.

The .51 radios are meant for the European spec and will not work on a TMOUS based rom AFAIK.

try different usb ports and remember to right click 1024 and 'run as administrator'
After using the HardSPL I could not get my phone to sync either... So Just put your phone into bootloader mode. Turn off phone, power button, volume down hold till tri color screen comes up. Then just run the RUU an it will flash your phone. Only NRGZ rom works.

yeah notinh still not working ive tryed all ports, im running windows 7 64bit.
I'm recieving the same error. Windows 7 x64, MDC is latest 6.1. Tried from both laptop (Win7 x64) and desktop (Win7 x64). Phone goes into Tri color screen, says "USB" at the bottom. Windows notes new driver, updates, then HSPL2 for 1024 Leo gives "Critical Error" and bombs out. Bummer
UPDATE: Fixed it. Did a hard reset on the phone, tried again, and now HSPL flashed successfully. Now, on to the cooked ROMs
Worked for me on win 7 x64... No issue with HSPL2_1024_RUN file I got by browsing this site... It did freeze on me during RUU, but I just rebooted and ran it as admin whilst not touching any other program in windows until it was done and it worked.

[Q] Help Upgrading My Rom

Can anyone help me please... I'm trying to upgrade the rom to the latest HTC HD2 rom for O2. I connect the phone via USB, sync it and then run the RUU program from HTCs website. The phone starts the process and boots the phone to the 4 colour screen and then to the black HTC progress screen and then it hangs on 0% for a few minutes until the utility finally tells me its lost connection with the phone (Error 262). I've done soft resets and hard resets. Disabled firewalls. Tried on another machine. Even ran the utility under XP SP3 compatibility. Still no joy. Can anyone help?? Thanks
Sounds like you might have a bad USB cable or that you are having timing out problems. First forget about the ActiveSync. All ActiveSynce does is help insure hour HD2 is ready to be flash by checking the battery level and such. Power your HD2 on but hold the volume down button down while powering on. When you see the tri color bootloader screen connect hour USB cable and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then right click the RUU of the ROM and select run as administrator. If this still does not work I would try another USB cable.

could it have anything to do with the phone being locked to O2... its the latest ROM for O2 that I'm trying to install.

hmm....if you are trying to flash stock rom which is not intended for your device, you need HSPL or Gold card.
There are threads in Windows Mobile 6.5 section that will guide you on installing HSPL or making a Gold Card.
Good luck

Well here's the thing, my phone is locked to O2. I'm trying to install the latest ROM from HTCs website for O2 customers. For the life of me I cant get it to install. I did install HSPL a few months ago when I tried to run Android from the SD card. That didnt work either. Like I say, I've done a hard reset. Could the HSPL thing be causing an issue. How do I get rid of it.
I hate being a noob sometimes!!

To get rid of HSPL you just have to run the HSPL Utility avain and choose the correct SPL version for your ROM when it asks what version you want to flash. Remember HSPL has the stock SPL versions to, click on the link in my sig to download HSPL 4. Hint thecstock SPL versions all have four zeros at fhe end and the HSPL version do not.
You said you are getting error 262, this usually means you don't have the right SPL or HSPL one of the two atleast that is if I remember correctly. What ROM are you trying to flash and what does it say in bootloader right now?

Hi... Been away so only just got this reply.
The rom I'm trying to install is a stock rom update from the HTC website:
O2 (UK): 3.14.206.1
For the record, my phone is an O2 phone.
As for Bootloader? It currently says:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08.0000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x40
Hope that helps. Really bugging the arse off me this is.
get hspl2,
put phone into bootloader manually first and connect usb lead
(thats why it was timing out on you ((error 262)) because the connection takes too long to reconnect when it reboots from winmo into bootloader, , if you do it yourself first, that solves this error 99% of the time.)
when 'serial' changes to 'usb' run hspl2, choose 1.66.0000 (i recommend this because 2.08.0000, whilst stock, is a tmous stock, so 'may' give problems, , totally unconfirmed, but i had issues recently removing android/magldr whilst spl was 2.08.0000, i switched to 1.66.0000 and it worked straight away, i have a slight hunch that spl 2 doesnt like to be downgraded in some circumstances, , if you preffer you could use hspl4 and go straight for 3.03.0000, since that is whjat your 3.14 rom will install anyway when you flash it)
when it reboots saying its done, immediately hold voldown to re-enter bootloader
when serial changes to usb, run your 3.14.exe

Ignore that..
Mate - you're a genius. Followed your instructions and it worked like a charm.
Cheers pal. You saved my brain
Erm, not sure how much more basic i can make it. (Ignore my descriptions, just follow the steps)
Power off, hold voldown,power on keeping voldown held,, see multi striped coloured screen, that's bootloader, you can flash from this screen.
First you should try without bothering to change the spl.
Enter bootloader and connect USB, run the 3.14 you downloaded. That's it.
If it doesn't work, try changing spl as in my previous post by entering bootloader, and instead of running the 3.14 you run hspl instead.
As for writing a guide, you already read the various "how to flash.." guides (there are several) and watched the (also several) YouTube guides before you even started this thread,,, didn't you? Didn't you?? If not then shame on you!
Post back and ill check tomorrow.
