how to flash extendedROM before Warranty return

Hi I'm thinking of returning my m600 to the Orange SAV because of a speaker problem.
I tried a wm6 ROM and then downgrade (with difficulties) to my original wm5 rom , then found a way to put original orange bootloader screen, but the extendedROM is still the PDAMobiz Prophet WM6 (and there is no more installation process at hard reset like when I was using wm6), and I need to put the one which was furnished by Orange (I have a backup of it using awizard).
I succeed in unhidding the extendedROM2 folder (thanks to another post), then delete the PDAMobiz files and put the Orange one, but after hard-reset nothing install, and when I reveal the extendedROM2 folder PDAMobiz files reapear.
So I hope there is another way to restore my orange content.
What about the warranty if it has been flashed and then downgrade and make it as the original one?
thank you for helping a Newbie

Strange Official ROMs include extended_rom that are written upon flashing process. Are you sure you used an official?
Else...
You can try to use my software (WST - check signature) that, although made for wizard, i believe will work.
Best thing is to use the READ ROM feature before flashing to be sure that the addresses are the same (should result in a 10MB file that can be opened with Winimage)
The other way is to get pdocread.exe and itsutils.dll and get the extended rom partition handle and then use pdocwrite to flash an extended rom.
Last option is to get an official RUU and extract the nk.nbf and then from it extract the extended_rom chunk. Then make a nk.nbf with only that chunk and pack it back into an RUU exe.
your choice

You flash your Orange Rom wrong!
If you use a Original Firmware ... all are overwriten! Ext Rom too!

Don't worry, the first thing Orange do when the phone reachs their labs is to flash it with the official rom, test it and send it back to another customer if it works.
I think even with your pirate wm6 rom you would have met no trouble but I'm quite sure they won't even notice you changed the ext-rom.
If you really want to be sure, just unlock the extrom, delete the content and relock it

How to dump your original ROM and keep it ready in case of failures?

Hi,
If i have to keep my original ROM as backup to use in case of serious failures, like i am only able to boot up to boot loader and avoid INVALID VENDOR ID (294) error to reflash sucessfully this ROM. (without using USPL)
do i need to do:
1. create part00.raw, part01.raw and part02.raw using pdocread of exiting phone ROM
2. rename .raw files to .nb
3. run Dutty nbh tool and then???
What i have to provide in:
IPL, SPL, First Splash, Second Splash, OS, Ext. ROM, Radio, Device, CID Type, version, langauge, Signature?
4. Produce RRU_Signed.nbh and use it to flash with ROMUpdateUtility
Am i doing right?
Please help!
Thanks in advance

You really don't need to dump your ROM! Most of the official ROMs are available. Tell me your original ROM and I'll give you a link to it!

frauhottelmann,
I asked this because i came across this situation recently when i mistakenly upgraded my HTC S710 ROM with ORANGE UK latest ROM and in last it said corrupeted. After that i tried every things but it got only stuck at boot-loader.
From bootloader, i tried every ROM from FTP xda but everytime it was INVALID VENDOR ID or Corrupt ROM image. and worst part was; i could not use USPL.
If i would have my original ROM with me, i could have come out of this.
I had to pay some bucks in cash to HTC service and then i got it corrected. They simple put my original ROM in it, nothing else.
Thats why i asked if i have to dump my unique ROM to avoid INVALID VENDOR ID, how can i do this?

frauhottelmann,
Sorry to disturb you, can u help me on this?

So do you have an HTC S710 or the Orange version of it?

its HTC S710

And now the original HTC ROMs don't flash properly? I gues the problem was the orange ROM, if you don't flash ROMs other then HTC (or cooked - they don't use an own SPL) then this should not be a problem any more. If you flash a Orange ROM, you still have to do USPL first, because it's gonna say "No, this is no Orange phone" BUt then it still might screw up the SPL and your stuck. So just be carefull with flashing ROMs from an specific carrier.

you mean,
if i have original default HTC S710 ROM in my phone and if i try to flash with original HTC ROM like "HTC S710 ROM version 1.34.405.1" from boot loader then i should not get any error.
Also if i have Gonzo or your ROM or similar cooked ROM and try to flash with "HTC S710 ROM version 1.34.405.1" from bootloader i should not get any error.
if i have Orange or similar ROM and try to flash with any HTC ROM, failure everytime
If it is true, it would still give enough relief.

This is what I meant! The same would happen with a Vodafone or Dopod ROM!

i have the Vodafone V1415 (which is the same as the rest of the vatious Vox's) and i recently flashed an orange rom to it and it worked fine
before the orange rom, i had Mr Gonzos 6.1 v1.1, and before that, whichever one came on the device
ive never come across anything like that :S
admitedly after finally getting everything right (after various problems with different things) and the phone worked fine, i then managed to drop my vox onto a soft seat in such a way that it bounced off and the screen broke as it hit the floot

I see. There is no response to my quest.
I now have to send my phone to my SP, to avoid my dead end experience, how do I backup or do a ROM dump for my original ROM?
Cheers.

FLASH A NEW ROM TO YOUR PHONE...not yelling caps were on

It's probably not a good idea to create the same exact thread in multiple forums.
Go read what I posted in your other thread that you made.

thanks for the info, and sorry for multi post in the wrong forum will try to close that. And can i ask something? i've been reading the [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) from the start, up to page 35 for now (i need to finish another 80 pages or so to complete reading it up) but i don't seem to find any question related to what i want to find out so i might just ask it here;
As i am new to flashing rom, i know if i want to flash some nice rom to my touch pro (i'm using the singtel WWE stock rom)
1) i need to hardspl it so i can flash any other rom into my phone, flash the new rom that i desire etc.. and the important question is.. if i want to completely reverse my phone back to the original stock condition, stock hardspl / stock rom etc (like from the 1st day i got it, very very stock and original). I know i need to flash back the stock hardspl and stock rom and so on... So after all the flashing will my touch pro be like a really original stock touch pro??? Or will it be i am only flashing another rom but it is an original stock rom back to my device... Anyone understand what i mean???
2) Actually i need to ask about the radio thingy but i think i'd better wait for my 1) answer, cuz if i can't get my phone back to the original stock condition after i flash some wm6.5 rom in it i might not want to risk flashing...
Any advice are appreciated, thanks

hardpsl is a one time thing, once you flash it, you dont need to keep using hardspl to try new roms. when you want to revert to the original rom, just go to HTC singapore's site, under support, go download the rom. it will be the singtel wwe rom. if you're worried about warranty, there shouldnt be an issue, i reflashed the singtel rom to my phone before sending it to harborfront for repair, and there was no mention of me reflashing the rom, and they repaired my phone as required.
ps, you dont really need to read all 80 pages of the thread, just get to flashing. hardspl, then try the energy rom (thats what im using) and see how easy it is.
cheers,
