HTC Beetles (HW6515) radio firmware corrupted, need help

Hi!
I asked this question first on another board, but XDA-Dev is for me the best board when it come to hard question.
So here's the problem : I think I messed up my device while trying to flash it with a french rom.
I edited the rom and swaped the headers with Hexedit from the english roms to the french roms in :
RadioFS.nbf
RadioOS.nbf
CEOS.nbf
EXTROM.nbf
But here's the problem... while flashing the device, the RadioOS is stuck at 0.1%.
If I remove the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf from the hpRUU.ini then it flash the unit, and everything is ok except that I cannot active the Radio (cell phone), it lookup the device.
Here's what I see from the Asset Viewer:
Radio Present : Yes
Radio Firmware Version :
Radio Protocol Stack Version :
Radio Bootloader Version :
Radio File System Version :
Default Radio GDFS Version :
I've tried to reflash the device with bigrom, but no luck, it just flash CEOS.nbf & EXTROM.nbf.
Finally, if I try to flash de device from windows with the ROM12132Beta (with activesync disabled) I get an Error 514 message : device failed verification. So I hacked the rom to get it to flash (with hexedit I replaced the 3 letter language with blank space) but it get stuck at 1.0%.
So do you know if there's is a way to force the flashing of the RadioOS.nbf & RadioFS.nbf? (maybe directly from the SD card?)
Thank you very much in advance!!

Please anybody has a little idea?
Because since this is a US device and I'm in Canada I'm not covered by the warranty, so I'm really screwed. I understand this is an HP device, but it is manufactured by HTC and I'm sure that if there's a place where there's people that know well the HTC devices, it's here.

I have the same problem. I'm going to use a sd card to reflash my HW6515. Did u solve the problem?

Not really... I sent it back for repair...
Not really great because this mean I'm 2 months without my PDA

Wm6 Roms can only be upgraded if you have an IPL/SPL 2.xx,as I can see from your present Rom version 1.1.7.5,you must be having IPL/SPL 1.xx,therefore,it's not possible to upgrade to wm6,untill and unless you upgrade your phone to IPL/SPL 2.xx.
First flash T-mobile 2.26 to upgrade to 2.xx and then flash any wm6 rom.
Good luck

be sure that unlock means both "cid and sim" unlock, because sometimes it is network unlocked only, you can use your device with different networks using different simcards, to flash a rom you need the device cid unlocked, read the guides

Hi , thanks for the reply, i must mention that my phone is a QTek 9100 please tell me if the T-mobile 2.26 will install on my phone. if it can please can u give me a download link to it.. I've been searching the site but i haven't found any..
nannhy

Are u sure your phone is CID unlocked? use the wizard service tool to be sure. U can download the t-mobile ROM here: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ You need to have a t-mobile phone number. If u dont know any, PM me, and ill let u use mine, u dont have to pay, its just to make sure that ur a t-mobile customer.

XM6R2a is NOT wm5...if you "installed" it and you are still on wm5 then your phone is NOT cid unlocked which is probably what the communication error (302?) was trying to tell you in the first place. Follow the "how to flash a wizard" guides that are a sticky at the top of the forum.

Hey thanks to everyone who have been offering information, my progress so far, i've CID unlocked my phone and i reinstalled the pro+home wm6 and all is working, except i cant use my camera, cause i dont have enough memory as is replied by the os, i'm going to try the t-mobile updated as pointed out in a previous post.

Resseting Raphael to send for Warranty. (Help Needed)

Hey guys, about 10 minutes ago, i noticed that the start button for my phone acted weirdly. It is appearing and dissappearing as if someone is touching it, but the phone is flat on the ground. My fingers are not touching the screen yet the phone is acting as if someone is pressing the screen. After reseeting it, the touch screen went dead. I can navigate with the dpad but not when i press the screen. So i believe it is time for me to send the phone for warranty.
I am from Malaysia by the way.
MY phone is currently flashed (hard-spl) and am running on Topaz Rom. I have also installed the custom boot screen (bios) made available here by a forumer via hard-spl.
My question is, how do i remove the hard-spl and the boot screen that is flashed by hard-spl?
Also how do i remove everything so the phone will qualify to receive the warranty?
I do have the stock ROM but i believe i need to do more than just re-flashing the phone with a stock ROM to claim warranty.

well flashing the stock rom should be the first step. then you have to find the original SPL. someone on here will help you with that, I'm sure.

ok here is what i did when i sent my phone in for HTC warranty in the US:
1) Flash stock radio or any latest radio from your area (if you remember the number of the radio that came with your phone find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439566
2) Then flash the stock ROM.
3) Then flash the stock SPL (Find your here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499791 then follow instruction bottom of first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
Then check to make sure you have the right radio and go into boot loader to check spl

Thanks for the suggestion jaszek.
And Thank you very much ptyindian for providing the steps , which is quite easy to read.
About the radio, i don't think i have to flash the radio since the official latest ROM that comes from HTC's site already contains a Radio. So i am safe here right?
About the stock SPL, i am not sure which is mine. As i am from Asia (Malaysia) , which one should i get?
1) SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)
or
2)Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English
. Also , what is the difference between the above 2 and this one :-StockSPL_ForWarrantyOnly_SPL190_1.zip

Yes if you installed the latest rom that was release by HTC and it has a radio included then you are safe about the SPL i am not sure which one you need to flash but i think the spl1.90 was what came with the ATT fuze i think or atleast that is what i had. Maybe some one else can help you more with the exact details on which SPL you need or you can post in the SPL thread and see if some one helps you.

Kaiser (ATT Tilt 1) ROM/Radio question

I was reading the Wiki/FAQ and found this thread and still have some questions on the ROM Radio configuration.
I have a tilt I got from work and the reception is attrocious, so I am under the impression that the ATT ROM and Radio have more affinity for the ATT network than Tmobile (which is my guess because my old Wing had much better signal). What I notice from the list of Kaiser ROMs (on the Wiki) is the only official Tmobile ROMs are for the Netherlands and the UK. My guess is that I wouldn't want to load those since I live in the US, plus the official OS build is 19124 in the ATT tilt instead of 19212 in the other builds.
My question is: Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network? Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM? Does the ROM clear the Windows build so there wouldn't be a compatibility issue, or does it only work for the cell phone service (device communication portion sort of like a DOS on windows 98) and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio? Do ROMs and Radios need to be properly paired or can I trial and error it?
I've been looking for some of the answers but the weren't overly appearant from the FAQ and Wikis. Hopefully I didn't gloss over the easy answers somewhere on the site.

Any thoughts? I can start doing the trial and error method, but if I can get some confirmation that I won't brick my phone that would be awesome. Also, if there is any general "method to the madness" in terms of trying the Radios out, I would appreciate it.

This is where you should start:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom
The most important consideration for flashing any phone: MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL (if you are using a Tilt, I recommend 3.56 as that is what AT&T officially used in their last ROM). That way, if you screw up a flash, you can just flash to another radio/ROM without worrying about bricking your phone. Press the Camera+Power button+use your stylus to reset the phone to bootloader to see if your phone is already Hard SPL'd. You should see a 3.28, 3.29, 3.34, or 3.56 at the top left of the screen when the tricolor screen pops up; you can just reset your phone after looking to get back to your OS). If, and only if, your phone is Hard SPL'd, read on...
>Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network?
Of course. For example, I am using the emobile radio (1.71.09.01) on my Tilt. See: The Ultimate Radio Thread for more.
>Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM?
No, you can flash the radio only if you want.
>Does the ROM clear the Windows build
Not if you're flashing just the radio.
>...and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio?
The OS build is independent of the radio. Best to think of the ROM as the OS, and the radio as how your OS communicates with your phone...
>or can I trial and error it?
That's the whole point of flashing just the radio--finding which one works best for you.

Thank you for the information. I verified the Hard SPL (3.56) so it looks like I am good on that front.
I just want to verify something you said before I actually do this (since the RUU tutorial told me ROMs can brick my phone and you mentioned Radios are similar in that fashion). The radios listed from the Ultimate ROM/Radio Thread are listed by WMx.x version, not by the associated ROMs. Since I am using the officially released ROM from ATT my version of WM is 6.1, therefore any of the Radios under the 6.1 header are available for flashing to my phone.
Is that correct?
Thanks again and in advance.

Anyone know of a new link for the latest Hard SPL 3.56? I keep on trying to download on rapidshare and I am denied (cause I am a non-subscriber). If there is a mirror that anyone knows of I would appreciate it. I keep searching around and cannot find one.

[Q] question about flashing HTC 7 pro US cellular CDMA

Here is my question I have an HTC 7 PRO (aka HTC ARRIVE,HTC GOLD) the model is HTC USCCHTC-PC93100 I have a student unlock but I need a full unlock. I am new to rom flashing on windows phones im used to jailbreaking and rooting android and ios. I was looking at try to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981 to my phone what I want to know is is it possible to flash this to my model of HTC and if I do flash it will it will I have to take my phone back to US cellular to have them reprogram the phone to their network or will it work just like normal after flashing any adive would help thanks.

Do you have a GOLD (also known as the 7 Pro) or a GOLD_C (also known as the Arrive)? The GOLD is a GSM phone, and won't work on Sprint or any other CDMA carrier. The Arrive is a CDMA phone and won't work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier. Flashing the ROM won't help here, either - this is a hardware issue (literally, the radios are different, plus GSM phones have SIM card slots and CDMA phones usually don't). Do *not* attempt to flash a GOLD_C ROM to a GOLD or vice-versa; it'll probably fail but if it doesn't you may make the phone unusable and unrecoverable short of using a JTAG connection.
However, if you want to flash a GSM ROM to a GSM phone, or a CDMA ROM to a CDMA phone, go ahead. However, that won't remove the SIM-lock if there is one. The odds are, if the phone can't be activated with your preferred carrier right now, re-flashing the ROM won't help.

US Cellular says its a 7 PRO but model says 93100 which is the arrive it doesn't have a sim slot so it is a CDMA and DFTs XSPL Tool says its a GOLD_C it has spl version 4.1.230513.1 I have tried the spl downgrade tool but it fails at 4 percent and says invalid vendor ID but if I did manage to flash it would if have to be reprogramed by us cellular to work again since its CDMA and not a sim card

I ran a system information tool and it reports the phone as the HTC arrive so I'm not sure why us cellular markets the phone as the 7 pro but it is definitely the HTC arrive gold_c with a sol of 4.3

Try to flash the older version of your US cellular radio (download from the website in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427907)
And then try to flash it, using the directions listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
In other words, you want to downgrade your SPL with just a radio flash (task 00). It is not necessary to flash the whole ROM. (Or you can do a hard reset - no big deal, as you will loose all your stuff anyway if you do flash a new ROM)
Then, you can go ahead and try to change RSPL and flash the ROM to see if it works. If not, not big deal, can always flash back your stock rom (also avail on above web site)

I have managed to downgrade my htc arrive us cellular spl and I used the xspl tool to install rspl and hspl now is it possible for me to flash this rom image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981
the only thing is the rom image says gold_c_sprint and my carrier is us cellular will I be able to flash this and use the phone like normally or will I have to take the phone back to us cellular after flashing and have them set the phone back up with there network

I have managed to flash my phone with the rom I posted and it still works but all branding on the phone is now sprint is there any way to get the branding back to US Cellular via reg edit for warranty purposes I have went into
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\ and changed mobile operator to USC-US which is US cellular
I also changed the MODeviceName into USCCHTC-PC93100 which was the original name of the device. but im not sure if there's anything else that need to be changed and I cant figure out how to get the marketplace back to the us cellular marketplace they had apps that were only available when it was set up with us cell

I would be careful of changing things in DeviceTargetingInfo; poke the wrong setting and your Marketplace (and all apps installed from it) can stop working or your phone may receive an update that damages it due to an incompatibility with a prior update from a different MO or something.
There is a "Marketplace Config" app available that allows you to select the OEM and MO marketplaces. On a GSM phone, the MO marketplace is usually automatically switched depending on the SIM card (this switch may take a day or two).
Another option would be to start with the US Cellular ROM, and customize it with full-unlock and any other changes you want. This is not my area, though; I have no real experience with creating custom ROMs but there are entire sections of this forum devoted to the topic.

that might be what I have to do is just make a custom us cellular rom Ill look for a section in the fourm to see what I can find on how to make a custom rom

please give me link for us cellular raido
I have htc 7 pro aka htc arrive gold c mobile which is us cellular and I have spl 4.1
I have dft tools to install hspl but I can't find raido to downgrade spl. I googled so many sites but all those raido links for htc hd7. only in this thread mentioned about us cellular radio but the link was expired.please post the new link. thank you
