Dear colleagues,
My USB connection to XDA II has a fault and cannot connect to PC via USB. Is it possible to upgrade to WM6.1 or WM6.0 via SD card?
Many thanks to all,
Amedeus
HMMM
please options serch this up
Hi
Sorry don't understand your reply?
Please explain.
Thanks
Amedeus
No, that will not work.
Your PC must be connected to the mobile device during update, the update (erase ROM, write new...) is done from the PC.
I didn't think it would. Thanks for reply.

unfortunately, there isent a way to upgrade the xda2 via SD_Card yet, i think someone over @ buzzdev.net tried it..
the only option is to either change your conector
I'm suspicious that it could theoretically be done using the grab_it.cab, designed to copy an entire rom, and it installs on a device once reinserted if I am not mistaken? I don't think it would actually work, but it may be possible one day down the track.
it have been reported that you can do it
but it require a himalaya connected to the pc
to prepare the sdcard

hey guys,
I'm freakin' out... I followed the instructions on trinityguides.info to upload the Hard-SPL. However, even though the Active Sync is working and the RUU seems to connect to the mobile and everything if going fine so far I get this bloody 246 and that *****y thingy of a mobile is going into the three colour mode... Ok, not a big deal. As I've read in the FAQ just start the RUU again and it should be cool... well, its not... now I get a 260. Nevertheless, I've not given up yet. I tried the installation again. This time without accepting the message on the mobile, after a while I get another error 202....
so please guys... where is the trick??? I read something about go into bootloader manually - I reckon that's the camera,power and hard reset button combo. When should I do this???
I also downloaded all three of this roms, 1.20, 1.30 and the other Macrofl or so....
I'm running XP SP2, Active Sync 4.5,
Mobile: HTC P3600, IPL-0.50, SPL-1.07.0000, WM5 German
Update via SD
Hi,
I had the same kind of problem just a few days ago... and I solved it simply using my SD memory. Using it, you bypass the pc (and the connection between the PDA and PC) and all this type of problems "connection-depending".
You can flash your PDA putting the rom image on the SDcard (how you should do, you can read here here )...
Ciao

hey tompo,
thx for your help, but I still have problems. I formated my Sandisk 2GB ultra II SD card and copied the RUU_signed.nbh to the root of the SD. Then I renamed the file to TRINIMG.nbh and went manually to the bootloader. However, there was only a short flickering of a grey screen that said "loading", after that I was back in that three colour thingy.... crap.... what the hell am I doing wrong???
seems as i have though luck with that mobile....
Any more hints???
cheers

Ok.....You wanna get to the 3 strip screen?
Make sure the battery has a 50% of its charge.
-Turn the device off.(DON´T HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER YET) so it should be off and unplugged.
-Press and HOLD camera button + power button,now you should see the 3 strips,if so you can hook it up to the usb port.
Got it?
I don´t remember now if you have to follow this step first:

Like I said I´m not sure,but take a look.....if you brick the phone there´s a way to fix it.
See ya.

thank you guys for the support,
however, the source of the prob was the SD card. Even though I formatted the SD in my laptop with FAT32 and no label, it seemed to me that the mobile couldn't access it. I've done it several times - didn't work. Finally, I thought lets format the thingy with the mobile itself - voila - it worked.... I dono if something with my card reader is wrong... the SD was working fine with tomtom and was accessible in both (laptop and mobile) without flaws. Only the bloody flashing didn't work as it should be.... well, I don't mind any more, may be its a solution for another desperate trinity user....
Cheers guys - I'm runnin' on WM6.1 now....*sweet*
hello could you please say how did you format with the trini, cuz I'm really new and unable to find that function.
I have exactly the same problems, but no external card reader
Many thx
I don't have a usb cable to connect my phone to my pc, can i download and install a ROM, thru my cell phone phones internet connection since most of the ROMS are .cab files ?
Thanks Chris
Id suggest a little more research before trying to flash your phone. You can use the .nbh file on a non HC memory card, or through usb using the RUU (update program).
i used to have a xv6800 that i updated the rom before, so i know how to do it, just didn't know if i could do it with out a usb cable

See link below.
i just read your link, about newbie flashing
I just want to make sure i read it 100% correctly.....the only way to to do it is via usb cable connected to my computer, i cant not due it thru my phone via internet connection on my phone
Thanks Chris
Hi chris347101,
Flashing a ROM over wireless (cell or other) is extremely risky and prone to failure, let alone the time it would take to download it to your device SD card over wireless - the typical ROM size is well over 128MB in size.
Best practice would suggest that flashing be performed over USB cable via a PC or using an SD card. I could be mistaken, but I believe the SD Card flashing process requires that your device has been HardSPL'ed - i.e. not the stock SPL.
HTH,
thank you for your answer, that's what i thought but i just wanted to make sure......know i just need to find a usb cable for my htc touch pro alltel
Hi everyone,
I've got a HTC Touch HD from Telstra, been using it for a long time. Recently the USB has stopped working correctly. I can charge it fine but can't get it to connection in Activesync mode or as USB Storage.
I have ruled it to be the phone:
Tried two PCs, even the PS3 doesn't detect anything is connected (Just shows phone is charging)
Tried XP, Vista and Windows 7 (fresh installed).
I have hard reset the phone many times.
It is under warranty, I have flashed Dutty's Extreme rom onto it and want to simply put a stock rom on it (preferrably Telstra) so I can send it away - or see if that fixes it.
I can't install any unsigned roms as I need USPL (via USB), I can't install signed roms as if I put them on there I get '00028002 Not Allow'
Where can I got next? I can still put BLACIMG.bbh files on the storage card but can't get any to flash.
It has SPL 1.54 and Radio 1.14.25.24.
I really want to flash it with: Duttys HD WM6.5 R7.
Thanks.

Previously you could flash cooked roms, but now you are unable to flash any, correct?
When in bootloader does it still change from 'serial' to 'usb'? Have you tried another usb cable?
Yes I could flash cooked roms, only by using USPL.
In bootloader when I have the cable plugged in it is blank where it should say USB, I take it out and it says 'Serial'
I have also tried the cable from my old Touch Diamond (which both cables work fine with the Diamond).

What happens when you try and run either USPL or HSPL?
On the computer? It can't detect USB. Both computers don't even get to the stage where it installs drivers.
The PS3 would even say 'Unknown USB Device Connection' but it doesn't. I just get power through USB to charge it, that is it.
Is there a rom I can flash to my phone via the storage card in the state it is in?

Unfortunately you cannot flash through storage card unless you have USPL on device.
Sad face. lol.
Can I get USPL or HSPL on through the Storage card... wishful thinking here.
Can I send it to HTC and pay for it to be repaired? Will they even touch it being a modified phone? Maybe I'll just send it through Telstra and see what happens.

USPL & HSPL both require usb to be installed and cannot be installed through SD card as phone needs to be in bootloader.
You could send phone to be repaired but I'm sure the cost would be high and going down warranty route wouldn't work either as you've voided warranty already by using cooked rom.
Have you followed correct guide for installing drivers?
maybe it's something as silly as "Enable Faster Data Transfer" under USB to PC settings :/ just had problems connecting mine until i unticked it, even though i never turned it on or off, seems to work sometimes, other times not :/

Here is your only choice though.
After upgrading to new ROM, try it again whether it can connect to pc or not?
Connect your SD card to PC through microSD card. Copy all files from your SDcard to new folder in your PC. Then, right click on the microSDcard disk-->full Format by FAT32 (this step is very important).
After formatting SDcard, copy back all files to SDcard . Rename .nbh to BLACIMG.nbh (for Blacktone) and copy it to SDcard.
Insert your SDcard back to Touch HD. Turn off your device by Power button.
Go to Boot loader mode. Push and hold Vol. Down + press Power button.
After that your device with have a white screen with text " Press to power button for continue upgrade" press power button and it will start upgrade Rom.
You can check this video for more practical actions on youtube.(this video for HTC diamond2 but it's almost the same with Blacktone just different in rename step)
Hope it helps and cheer
But that's the thing I can't get any rom to work through the BLACIMg.nbh storage method
I think I'm either going to have to stick with the current rom, have no usb transfer.
Or pay up to repair it
EDIT: I already tried the "Enable Faster Data Transfer" and that didn't help Thanks.

Where is your MicroSD card ? Connect your SD card to your PC via MicroSD card.
Right,
you don't need anything installed on your phone to run uspl.
Put blacimg.nbh on your sd card with a card reader.
Now with the card still unplugged put your phone into bootloader mode.
Now connect it to your computer, does serial change to usb??
Now insert your storage card.
Now run crackwhores USPL GUI and fingers crossed it should start flashing.
If that doesn't work let us know!
Also, what cable are you using, the one that came with the phone or a normal usb one??
Cheers,
Jake
No usb connection
So if i don´t get the usb connection in tri-color mode i´m in big trouble right?
I got the same problem
Mine is only saying serial on three diffrent computors... this is not good, i went to buy my self a new phone.
If i were you i would try 2 things.
There was a temporary spl which you would run from inside the OS and then that would give you access to either uspl or hspl.
If that wouldnt work, i would buy a usb replacement kit from ebay and install it myself tbh.
In the same situation
I too, tried everything under the sun for my Telstra HD but cannot get the USB connection to work before. Here's my short thread. I'm pretty sure there isn't anything that can be done flashing wise through the SD card because of our SPL 1.54.0000.
After a week of stuck in this situation I was going to take my phone to a shop and have the usb port replaced. I'm sure it will cost an arm.
In terms of replacing the port myself, has anyone tried? Is it tough to do? I thought soldering skills were involved.

Once you open up device warranty is voided permanently. If you paid for a replacement usb port and something else happened you could still return under warranty, but once opened option of warranty is forever closed!
As of now, its the only route because the lack of original spl has already voided my warrenty... =(
Ha. Today must be my lucky day!
I was a breath away from spending $75 to have my HD ripped apart to replace the usb port yesterday. But all of a sudden the port once again works and is recognized in bootloader mode.
All I did was hard reset once, used as normal, and plugged in via usb to charge with power on (just to see if it might work this 187429th time) and the usb menu (activesync, disk drive...) came up. I retried. It didn't work (just as I thought). Went to bootloader and it also didn't work. Restarted, usb menu was up again. Rebooted bootloader a few times and suddenly usb came on.
I will proceed to flash hspl 1.56 immediately.
To the dudes that still can't connect: DON'T GIVE UP YET, KEEP TRYING!
Hello all,
I'm having big problems syncing my phone to pc...is the above possible via MicroSD card...I know flashing a rom is but can I hard SPL it in the same way
Thanks in advance
I don't believe it is possible unfortunately.
What issues are you having? Have you tried updating (or even downgrading them depending on what you currently have) the usb drivers?
The probleme that most of us flashing new cooked ROMs & my device get stucked several times. Likely it is connected via USB, Otherwise I can not do any thing.
Also due to several ROM flash times the USB connection in HD (or other devices) might broken.
This why we need a way to install USPL or HSPL via SD card.
Can some one help?
Regards
What I don't understand is how can a usb port become 'broken' due to flashing several custom build roms?
I too having a problem with the usb port on my blackstone. It can only be charged but not synchronized with pc anymore. I had HTC pick up my phone to have the mainboard replaced. Luckily the phone was still under warranty, so it won't cost me much.
Can someone explain?
i had similar probs ...
went to regedit , local maschine, software, microsoft,
windows ce services and changed to (1) the key : hasusbdevice
after this no problems anymore
it seems that a program installation changes this number from 1 to 0.
i have win 7 32

This is not possible infortunately. However you do not need your device sync'ed with your pc to run HSPL. You only need to put device into bootloader and then connect it to pc. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. If not, you will need to update usb drivers. All this info can be found on this thread, no need for another

hey guys, I'm a newbie and I have a problem that really irritates me, I have bought an old X1 running windows mobile 6.1 German, I wish to install an English or a French OS, the problem is that my USB cable just don't work, I've tried several others on many pcs, still having the same problem, isn't there a way to install HardSPL without using the USB cable? another question; is it really necessary to install HardSPL if I want to install an original SonyEricsson's ROM, please answer me, I just don't understand a word of german language, thank you, please.
u dont have to hardspl if using original rom. but u still need a working usb cable. how can u install without a cable? OTA?
i was thinking of the memory card method.
Why not using USB Cable, though the fake one is not expensive.
You can also salvage from your other gadget, mine Ext. HDD
Do u insist using Storage Card?
Okay, I'm not sure if it will work or might destroy your X1.
When you doubled click (Execute) the HardSPL you'll found "RUU_Signed.nbh" extracted. Maybe you can place that "RUU_Signed.nbh" to Storage card. And then execute bootloader, like flashing ROM.
*Notice* It's only my idea. I have no guarantee about this because I've never done this.
Maybe you can PM the expert (the creator of that HardSPL) first.
U just get an error when installing hardSPL?? I think your computer USB got a missunderstanding or uncompitibility with another USB driver, maybe u should to install a new fresh computer with USB 2 installed, then try this to hardSPL your X1, worked on me, hehehe
DO NOT try and install hard=spl via sd card
it WILL fail and you could breaak your phone blah blah!
just buy a cheapo usb cable
have you installed activesync or WMDC first??
well, i've solved my problem guys, thanks. I've just bought a fake usb cable.
