thanks for the reply
it seems that i should be able to do as a normal upgrade with no need to worry about CID and having to run hard_spl if its the official HTC one. Does that mean that any region rom will work as long as its from their website?
complete noobie as you can tell!!!

If your flashing a HTC Rom onto a HTC branded device, you shouldn't need to worry about HardSPL or CID.
HardSPL is a new bootloader that allows you to flash ROM's with a different CID (Carrier ID). If you are flashing one from the same carrier it shouldn't be a problem.
You should only need to do this if you are flashing a Cooked ROM by one of the Chef's on this site.
I think all the above is right...
Can someone please confirm my understanding of this is correct?

I believe you'd get an "Invalid Region" error if you tried to flash a WWE Rom to a Chinese Language device? I could easily be wrong though - I've never tried it...
I'd Hard SPL and CID unlock before flashing any Rom's anyway - Official or otherwise (but that's just me).

Now you say that, I would always HardSPL before flashing, just in Case.
I've unlocked everything on my device.

Thanks for the quick response.
Guess I'll do the hard_spl way.
Thanks again

After instaling the ROM in the link:
Prophet AKU2.3 pdamobiz customized rom [G4 with SPL 2.15.0001]
I don't mind this being WWE instead than Spanish, but I got several problems:
Hang during install after first reboot. (after every Hard Reset)
Not all programs installed.
Not all installed programs running.
Some other minor glitches.
I moved from 2.15 ESP Rom (Vodafone) wich I was unable to extract.
Does anyone knows were to find my "old" rom?
I downloaded 2.13 from imateclub but refuses to install: "this nbf file is not for your device, get a newer one".
Help! please.
First, is your CID unlock?
Second, your device have a G4 chip, so you can not be able to install an older version, I mean, If you have a 2.15.0001 you can not be able to install a Rom for a Sapnish Qtek 2.09.0000 or like JAMin by i-mate 2.13.0000.
About where you can find your original rom, I invite you to find it on XDA-Wiki, after you log in under your nick or make a Dump Rom from other device like yours.

Thanks for your answer!
I'm unsure if this is CID unlocked, it is SIM unlocked now, will check for the CID issue. Though I assume that being able to install other 2.15 rom (dopòd) means it is already CID unlocked too....¿?
I was afraid the "downgrading" has to be done in the same version range. (2.15)
Thanks again for the wiki proposal, will go there.
The wiki site is a real mess actually, with no trace of usefull info specific for the prophet. (Sorry to say) Just a couple of ROM's some not working.
No one with a 2.15 ESN rom to share?
Regards.
Hello,
I just got a QTEK S200 with the following specifications:
IPL: 2.10.0001
SPL: 2.10.0001
GSM: 02.07.20
OS : 2.10.7.24
SIM LOCK = NO
CID LOCK = ??
Its language is Portuguese and i would like to flash it with an english ROM. I have read through the forum and i have all the necessary tools and the ROM itself but i am just missing something i cannot find anywhere:
How can i know if my device is CID locked or not?
If i flash it with a WWE ROM (which i think this is as well but with Portuguese language) it will just probably turn it into a brick, right?
Please advise on this,
Thanks
one way o finding out if its is CID locked is simply trying to install the wwe ROM, this Will give you the country id error...meaning its is CID locked
also your device is a G4.
the best way to unlock your device without the risk of bricking it is here; http://www.imei-check.co.uk/
then you can install other language Roms.
also make sure that the rom you upgrade to has a ipl/spl 2xxxx
there is another way of checking the CID status but i believe it does not work with G4 devices.
Okay, thanks for the reply. I want to install an "official" ROM just to change the language to English.
Thanks again, i'll check the site
EDIT:
It gave an error but not related to CID. It said "UPGRADE ONLY" as the english ROM is older than the Portuguese one. I guess i'll have to keep on looking
I asked the same question, about CID lock. Noone gave me an answer.
BUT I've looked through the Wizard forum, asked some questions, and mestrini pointed me to the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295038
It can be used for checking CID lock status. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE CIDLOCK WITH THIS TOOL!
Thanks a lot, i'll try it out later I have to go out for a while now

yes...this is because you are trying to flash a ROM that is not for that device or the ROM you trying to flash has a lower bootloder version [ipl/spl]....be carefully as this will brick your device....make sure that the ROM u going to flash has a bootloder the same or higher than the one you have now...very important.!!
Thanks everyone for the prompt replies. I now know i have a CID-Locked G4 model.
Is there ANY WM5 rom i can use for it?
Thanks
Okay, this one seems to work:
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship
But i still have to give out €28,00 to use it
Anyway, i can't stand this in portuguese so i'll pay for it and be sure not to brick it
Once again thanks everyone for your help
Ok, this worked, as i posted on other thread:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293480
I now have an english ROM
i have the ROM...you shoudn't have to pay..
Hello,
I was going to pay, but for the CID-Unlock service. Before i did that, i read some more and made a few forum-searches and came up with that page i posted above.
I updated the ROM without paying anything and if it didn't work, i could always CID-Unlock it (then paying for it) and then flash any ROM i wanted
Hi everyone. I've just got hold of the vodafone version of the HTC VOX and will be unlocking it via the imei unlock website shortly.
I've been reading through the posts here and I can find the DOPOD rom, which seems ok but not sure if there is an HTC version. From what I can see the DOPOD is really HTC but more aimed at the Asian market.
So is there an HTC version of this ROM available yet and where can it be found?
Does anyone have any info or screen shots of what the apps and features of the DOPOD rom actually are? The reason is that Vodafones versions seem ok but I am interested to know what the other brands add in or leave out?
Look forward to hearing from you all....
Some people dumped their ROM, but at the moment there is no tested/proven method to flash these dumps. I'm not aware of any official ROM update from HTC for the unbranded HTC S710. Once you have unlocked your Vox, and with unlock I mean "CID unlocked" which means you can flash any ROM (not just your provider's branded version), and once there is an official HTC ROM update available, you are able to flash it.
Keep an eye on my "Vox bootloader" thread here, because it deals with those subjects CID unlocking, dumping and flashing ROMs.
Update
Apparently there are official ROM updates available. See"
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Vox/rom/
There's a test version as well. Whatever it is ...
Thanks for the reply and info. I like the page you've set-up and will be monitoring it for more updates.
Think I'll try the DOPOD rom as this vodafone version is just damn annoying with all there network settings plastered all over it (as you'd expect!).
Always like the more generic roms so will give it a go....
Super quick Q
If i get my device (HTC Vox) unlocked from Imei-check.co.uk, that means (removes SIM/NETWORK LOCK - use any provider, removes CID lock - flash any firmware)
So please confirm that since it is CID unlocked, i can flash ANY vox firmware (i love the look of Dr. Gonzo's)
I apologise for being a bit apprehensive, but i just bricked my SPV M600 (Aka HTC Prophet)! lol
R.I.P Beautiful Prophet!
Yes. You can use any ROM once it is CID unlocked, however you do not need to pay for this service, you can use the Vox USPL to patch SPL to allow unsigned ROM to be flashed.
The only benefit to services like imei-check are permanent SuperCID and removing the SIM/SP lock.
What's wrong? I've tried different update files but they don't work
Please help,
I think I already wrote this on a wrong place!
Just to be sure, do you have a Kaiser?
Do you have HardSPL installed?

Thanks Dave,
In three color screen it says KSIS130 and then SPL_1.93.000, CPLD-8
In fact It's not a locked phone that belongs to any provider! How come I should Install another SPL?

Had to ask about the Kaiser, had someone with a Treo trying to use Kaiser Hard SPL the other day
You need to Flash one of the hard SPLs before you can flash ROM's from another carrier. The Hard Spls have the CID (carrier ID) check removed which allows this.

What I don't understand is that why my phone is locked? I first tried the HTC website update file, the some others from the links of XDA.
Sorry for stupid questions, I'm not really familiar with all these locking and bought my phone supposed to be without any lock! Could this be the agent of HTC desire?

All phones come CID locked, even the HTC ones, it means you can only flash ROM's made by the same manufacturer as the phone.
Your phone will probably be SIM unlocked meaning you can use any SIM card you like, but to flash a ROM with a different CID isn't possible without Hard SPL.

Now confision,
It's just due to the low IQ I know
In fact I read different explanation for SPL and found that after I start with SSPL-KAIS.exe then I'll need to have the hard SPL.
What If I want one of the original ROMs from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Do I need to extract the SPL from one of the original files on the mentioned link? If not Which hard SPL?
And then can I just run one of the WWE shipped .exe files or again the new ROM file must be extracted and being installed?
thanks

Actually, you dont need to do HardSPL or CID unlock for ROM upgrading,.
Those thing are used to make a smoother ROM (remove white screen, freeze, etc),.
When i have my TyTN at the second day, i flash to WM.6, and all works well,.
Make sure that you have download Kaiser ROM,.
make sure you dont have any corrupted download,.
ps: until now, my TyTN never been CID Unlocked,.

No I'm even more and worse confused!!! I think Dave says that I need to Unlock the CID. However in some of the articles I think I read that to.
By the way none of the files I downloaded worked on my phone. Really I tried several, either from the HTC website or from XDA but same Invalid Vender ID comes to the PC displaye

Hi guys
This might sound like a stupid question.
How does a genuine Htc rom know that it can't be flashed to a network version of the same device. I take it its done with the spl that's why we have hardspl.
But is there a way to unsign a htc HTC rom to make it flash to a network version of the device without getting invalid vendor id.
Could it be stripped out and reset with the id needed?
i know if i understood right but according you lets take an example of a hd2 and htc diamond, so are you trying to flash a diamond rom on a hd2, or you want to flash different brand rom hd2 into your hd2, if thats the case then you need your phone to be security unlocked, Hard spl wont work
What I would like to do is flash a o2uk HD7 with the HTC euro rom and as there is no hardspl or cid unlock it makes it hard.
But I was thinking there must be a way to change the euro rom id to think it can be flashed.

You could contacts chef for that. Someone will be able to help you. I know you need to be security and CID unlocked to flash any rom
