will update to new cingular rom lock my cingular 2125 phone? - HTC Tornado

I have unlock my phone and have the qtec 8310 rom 2.0.9.0 but want to install the new one for cingular found here http://www.america.htc.com/support/2125/software-downloads.html
my question is if i upgrade to this will it lock my phone?
is there a better rom i could use fot my phone.
thank you.

it seems you have already cid unlocked your phone. so by loading the new cingular rom, it wont lock it again.. just perform the same process as you did to load the qtek rom.

You´re probably using the best tornado ROM available (qtek 2.0.9.0)... until we get WM6...

Another please help upgrade thread

Hi everyone. i know this has been hashed and rehashed but searching for it doesnt help and i cant find a solution for this:
i have a french orange spv m600 (just sim unlocked it, thanks lokiwiz!).
unfortunately it is in french and i would like it to be in english (basically english orange rom).
i have
IPL: 2.10.0001
SPL:2.10.0001
Radio Rom:02.07.20
OS:02.10.1.30
its not cid unlocked and since i think its a g4 chip, im very hesitant - i dont want to end up with a break - have no customer support to send to. i dont need a lot of functions.
by any chance anyone has a wwe orange rom around? would that work without cid unlocking?
thanks a lot for helping...
if anyone would like a dump of this french rom, let me know, with instructions how to do it, and ill help you out guys as well...
Thanks a lot for helping
Just take the no vendor id dopod rom wwe from the ftp. It worked great on my G4 SPV M 600. It has also been french.
you have a link?things get moved around very easily on that ftp thanks !
no thats fine, got it
question: how good is it?does it remove the cid unlock so that u can upgrade again afterwards?
what does this rom contain?

if i were you, i should take the new Qtek Rom:
ftp://[email protected]/Up...rophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
just download it, extract it with WinRar (i know it's a .exe file, but you can extract it) and replace the romupdateutility with this one:
ftp://[email protected]/Up...AKU2.3_LvsW_edition/ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe
copy the nk.nbf file in the same folder with the other files and just run the romupdateulityNo_Id.exe to update.
This Rom runs very stable and fast, much faster than the dopod one.
John
do either of those updates change the ipl/spl?no chance of them mismacthing right?

I haven't noticed any major speed improvement over the Dopod rom. Actually, my machine became slightly more unstable. Maybe it is only a software problem though. I have not reinstalled the applications that are running from the SD card, but I relied on a restore using sprite backup.
Ciao,
G.
thanks
tried the qtek. got a fright when i saw
IPL:2.10.0001
SPL:2.20.0001
but then it worked
now will try the rom and see how it performs. my previous 2 were wizards which i used qtek roms
Thanks!

It's possible to turn on ClearType on SP, I'm enjoying it on my Qtek 8310.

Doposia? Dopod? Is it another name of HTC S710?

HTC uses Dopod as their brand in Asia. For example:
Dopod 577W = Qtek 8310
Dopod C500 = HTC S710 = SPV E650

I just wanted to know if it was available for S710 or no, not which HTC/Brand it was.
Thx anyway

It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.
It looks like the VOX is builded on same base as Tornado so it should work just flash it... did somebody try it?
You joking, Vox got 128M flash rom but Tornado only 64M.
moved to Vox.
Doen't work on qtek 8300
I get an update error message?
I can't get it to work on my qtek 8300
any ideas ?
Did anyone use this ROM upgrade yet? Care to post your findings?
I tried on a french E650 and got the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message. I'm looking how to CID unlock it.

this rom is not for your phone.
i flashed to this rom because i found my vox to be too slow for my liking. so far it seems stable. the only problem that i have encountered is that the overclocking program wont run now.
i had to cid unlock my device. i used imei-check.uk and all went well (after they made me send a copy of my license to verify who i am). the install went smooth. the device seems slightly quicker when switching screen orientation while in the messaging application. not fast, but a little quicker. my device would take several seconds before and sometimes it would freeze while doing this.
if i encounter any problems i will make note of it here.
Anyone try this with blackberry connect? Is this a new rom than what the htc vox (non-branded) shipped with?
it is a newer rom version than the one that shipped with my unbranded s710. i dont use the blackberry connect software, sorry
interesting. i hope someone will cook the rom, to make it available with all the must:
TCPMP, live messenger, etc
Right now I stay on my SFR S710 rom, as i debrand it with modaco ' s stuff, and customized it like i wanted.
We'll see what this rom as to offer.
ROM extract problems
Hi I tried to extract this ROM with imgfs tools but at the last step (the bin extract) i get this message :
unknown header type , FS_data_table??
May be the ROM is protected?
I just tried to flash my unbranded HTC Vox and I am getting the following:
ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID
This is really weird, I thought unbranded phones were all CID unlocked? Is that erro because it is locked? I was hoping to load this up becase my vox is a little slow too, but mostly because I was hoping that it fixes the continous reboot problem with microsd card. I have tried to clear out the notifications and that hasn't fixed the reboot problem.
Any ideas?

Damm, they want $38 to unlock the phone...what happened to those free CID unlockers on the older phones. Any way to do this for free? Hehehe. Do you like the new rom? Want to make sure it's worth it....

ER....Just thinking about it it's the real HTC S710(/VOX/Orange SPV E650 ) ROM? Right?
Not Tornado (C600?) ?
This one has all the stuff ready (Windows Live, etc) ?
Is there French inside? Or only English? I don't bother English, but I prefere French

What's that? Is it shareware or freeware?
I installed it. Working fine, miss the theme with small types though. The fonts look kind of big and crappy, i think maybe cleartype is not enabled but I can not figure out a way to turn it on.
I thought ClearType was only available on PPC??

The most stable official Rom ?

Hi there.
I recently bought a XDA IQ (similar to SP5) with a O2 Rom.
THe version is 2.0.11.0
Without having done anymodification, the phone was Sim-unlocked : I tried with my orange Sim card and it works.
But I had to app-unlock the phone using the registry modification method, it works as well. I had installed WM5torage without problem.
Now I want to know if I change the Rom version, will the phone still be Sim-unlocked ?
If yes, what is the more stable (official) version for it ? (same question with the WM6 Rom, will my cellphone become sim-locked after flashing ?)
I don t want to have to use Spvservice.exe cause it doesn t work with wndows vista.
Thank you for your help.
David
None of the ROMs here are "official". In terms of stability I have tried ROM from andot and jm012a9749 and found andot's rom to be more stable as most of the bugs are fixed now (they are both based on the same ROM, just two variations). And once you flash the ROM it will be sim and app unlocked.
Personally I've found that the i-mate SP5 AKU2 ROM is the most stable OFFICIAL ROM, available here: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
Also, changing the ROM doesn't affect your SIM Lock...
Phil
Thank you for you answer.
On the I-Mate site, there is different files, what is the latest ROM ?
Thanks

HTC S710 ROM update

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!
Chuck
@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

Not if you flashed Hardspl. The rom will go back to the original rom, but the hardspl will not go back to the stock spl. For that you must find your stock spl and use jumpspl to re-lock your phone to the stock spl and rom.
