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

Can you kindly show me where to download original BT ROM for HTC S710?
You will save me.

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.

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
Hi everyone,
I think I may have bricked my Kaiser. I've been following some similar threads but nothing seems to be working to fix the problem.
I was going through the process to flash a new Rom, starting with installing HardSPL following this thread I was. I was having problems, I think because I have the 1.82 ROM version.
Finally, I thought I had HardSPL installed, so I continued to run KaiserCustomRUU.exe. This completed (jumped from 0% to 100%) very quickly. However, I reset my phone and it is now stuck in the tri-color bootloader screen
The screen has the says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.82.0000
CPLD-8
and has the letters RUUNBH in the top right corner.
I've tried removing the battery and resetting, but the phone always goes back to this screen. I've also tried running mtty, but without success. The command 'readconfig' returned a result 'Command error !!!'.
does anyone know of anything else I can try?
Small bit of good news: if I issue the command 'boot' using mtty, my phone boots into my original ROM successfully, with the mtty output:
InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1
No card inserted
OSSIReadBack ++
Read SI data from flash success
tail signature match
Checksum match
UserStorageSIPreload ++
It takes a long time to boot (like a couple of minutes), but it does eventually boots up fine. When I reset, I'm back at the tri-color screen though
If your at the tri-color screen, just reflash a new rom
Im not an expert but when its at the tri colour screen, try to flash Hard SPL again, it should pick it up and flash i believe.
If that goes through ok, then do the same to flash another ROM.
Again no expert at unbricking but its definately worth a try

Try this.
1.) Open ActiveSync and navigate to File > Connection Settings - Uncheck Allow USB connections.
2.) Download this ROM http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html and flash it to your device.
That should work for you.
hi alltheway. thanks for the advice!
I don't want to sound ungrateful, but are you sure the above is safe? I just don't want to make a wrong step now and totally screw up the device (now that I can successfully do a manual boot using mtty).
I know you can't guarantee it but is this what others who are stuck in the bootloader have done?

I had this problem about 2 weeks ago.
I was flashing one of Dutty's Great ROMs and I lost power at the house and shut down my computer when I was 46% done.
I had the same RUUNBH in the top right hand corner. All I did to fix this was flash a factory shipped ROM like the one I provided to you and it worked great. No issue thus far.
Honestly I can't gurantee 100% if this will totally fix your problem but I am 95% sure.
Unless some other users have an answer for you I think this will be your best solution. Regardless of what you do you will have to flash to a new ROM anyways.
Also, I'm a bit dubious on whether i will be able to flash to that ROM. I don't think I have the right HardSPL installed to flash roms (see what my boot-loader screen says in the first post).
I'm no expert though.... obviously
Thanks for all the info alltheway. I'm too tired now (will probably f*ck the thing up even further! ), so I'll try flashing this tomorrow.
Here's some more info I've collected using mtty (my phone is an O2 XDA Stellar):

Hi tqm. I've been following that post but as far as I can tell there is no solution there yet.
From what I can tell from that thread (and others), the only way stop the phone booting to the tri-color screen (in RUUNBH mode) is to flash with a ROM that matches the vendor. I think because I haven't been able to install HardSPL properly, my phone's version of SSPL will only load O2 ROMs (could be wrong here, but that's the picture I'm building ). Unfortunately no-one seems to have extracted the ROM from an XDA Stellar :\
I believe alltheway's solution above worked for him because he had HardSPL installed properly. He could load the stock ROM to fix the phone, because his SSPL version allowed different ROMs to be loaded. I'm not certain of this, and I'll probably try his suggested solution when I get home today... but I'm not too confident.
If only there was an mtty command to just get the phone out of 'RUUNBH' mode. I've seen the command 'task 8' mentioned on here, but it doesn't work when I try it. Does anyone know of a list of mtty commands for the Kaiser anywhere?
Definitely flash the original ROM, it will get your device to the default HTC shipped state.
Then sync phone with ActiveSync, install HardSPL again and then flash custom ROM.
I remember i had the same issue but the original rom is a lifesaver
You mean the original HTC ROM? or the original O2 ROM? (what my phone originally came with)
If I don't have one of the HardSPL versions posted on the forums (I believe they never installed properly, which is what caused all my problems I think), will I still be able to flash the stock HTC ROM:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
Basically my questions is: is this stock HTC ROM flash-able to ALL kaisers? (even without downloading/installing HardSPL from the forums)
If not (i.e. I can't flash even the stock HTC ROM), is it expected that if I can't successfully install HardSPL, my Kaiser will only accept O2 ROMS?

IMHO the HTC stock ROM should work even without HardSPL, at least for me it worked fine... but just for sure have your O2 stock ROM by hand.

I don't thinks there's a way to flash HardSPL on tri-color scrren so far, coz activesync cannot connected to computer
the best way is trying to find the phone's offcial ship rom to flash
No luck trying to flash with the stock HTC ROM:
RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe
After getting to 1%, it reports an error:
Error [294] : Invalid Vender Id
As suspected, looks like this will only accept an O2 ROM Will have to wait until one is available.
Did you try installing HardSPL and then reflashing?
the stock HTC rom will not load onto your kaiser simply because it is still CID locked to O2's CID code. You HAVE to find the O2 rom that your device came with or any O2 ROM and reflash that and you will be good to go. You may also try and flash HardSPL but I dont think its going to work. But remember have a friend or someone on the forum dump and rebuild the O2 rom for you and just reflash the OS.nb or ROM only no radio!
It is very simple to dump and rebuild a rom so if you have a friend that has a kaiser have him over for an hour and dump his
thats your only shot at this point.

My current ROM version is 1.82. I don't think installing HardSPL has been solved for this ROM version, which I think is where all my problems started. I have tried, but no version of HardSPL (that I've found) will install correctly.

Thanks for the reply austinsnyc, this is what I'm hoping to do now, I'm watching this thread 'Has anyone dumped the o2 Stellar rom yet ?' closely Maybe I should reconstruct the ROM myself, I'm just a bit worried about arsing that up as well I'd rather someone experienced reconstructed and verified the ROM (on a phone that isn't already messed up).
Out of interest, would you be able to give me a succinct explanation of what is actually wrong with my phone at present? As far as I can tell, the only problem is that the boot-loader is stuck in RUUNBH mode. Has part of the ROM on the phone actually been destroyed?
I'm assuming right now that the point of flashing the O2 ROM is just to make the phone 'finish' a flash and get out of RUUNBH mode. Or is it actually to re-instate something that has been lost?
If it is to reinstate something that's at present lost, is this data definitely part of the os.nb?
If it's just to get the boot-loader out of RUUNBH mode, I'm REALLY gutted that there isn't just a mtty command to do this
Oh yeah, and perceptivepixel.com Ace!
Hi all, i am new with wm phone. I am using my htc touch pro now and after i see the new touch pro2 i want to know can i install touch pro2 to run on my touch pro??? Is it called touchFLO 3D? or manila??? i want the new calender, contacts and the new sms in the new touch pro2
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,

hi guys i installed the 3vloution series rom and when i wish to change it back to the original htc rom it gets disconnected and connected at 14%.. however it hangs at 27%..
help appreciated
Hi @ll,
yes, that behaivior can I confirm. My Snap do the same. A reflash to the EVO rom afterwards works fine...
Any Ideas...how to get the orginal 6.5 back to the Snap?
Thx and regards
Frank
same here
Any solutions in the meantime???
Got it!
Hi,
I found a woking way to go back to the original ROM (and SPL) . But I'm quite sure, that it isn't the easiest way to do that - it killed my nerves and pushed me into desperation in the meantime
Before I was on SPL 1.17 and the flash of original ROM hung at 26%
Sounds crazy, but that's what I did:
1) flashing Hard SPL 1.19
2) flashing Original SPL 1.19 (TriColor Screen showed 1.19 0000)
3) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER
=> flash hung at 17%
4) tried to flash 3VO Evolution
=> Error, because of Original SPL
=> not possible to flash Hard SPL, because ActiveSync-Connection is required
At that time desperation grew to panic. NOTHING worked, so I thought I broke it and can't get it to life anymore
5) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash hung at 17%
=> at next start I realized that SPL-Version had changed to SPL 1.23 0000
6) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash worked and the Snap is back to delivery status
maybe it will work for you too
confused
what did u do?? i have the ssame problem
PRoblem solved!!

Please have a look at the 4th sticky in this forum. It's a little bit hidden but the title is about "HardSPL, Original SPL and JockyW"...
And then I recommend to perform the steps in the order I stated before.
Good Luck!
its on the xda website in the maple rom devlopement
sorry i would post a link but im a new member and new members cant post links
Hi guys,
nice work from JockyW, ookba and everyone doing the job to bring us excellent software (pls if i forgot anyone, don't be mad ). I really appreciated the RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509 for a long time but I will sell my Maple now. It time to move on and try something new. Thats why I need to go back to the Official HTC ROM. I just cannot get it to work...
Obviously just flashing the original HTC Rom won't do the job because of the Hardspl, but how do i get around this. I just need some help on going back.
Thanks in advance, UKFencer

Sorry, I don't think I have any idea. I *think just flashing the original ROM should work, I have upgrade/downgraded other phones with factory/custom roms with no problem. I have a question on top of yours. If I don't Hard SPL, what do I lose? There's a thread about downgrading the HardSpl to 1.19 or 18, I don't know if that helps. I would like an answer to my AT&T question as well. Sorry about hijacking your topic but I at least bumped it.
Download original rom in HTC website. Thats all.

Have you ever imagined looking into Wiki
If I were your Maple buyer I would apreciate more to have it upgraded to a cooked ROM, rather to have ugly stock.
You can go back and install any ROM you want

Yes, I agree with your sentiments regarding the ROM, point is however that once the custom ROM is flashed with the Hardspl, the original ROM cannot be flashed back, which is sometimes required, especially if something happens to the phone and it has to be returned for repairs etc to the retailers.
Strange, it´s the 1st time I know that an HTC device can´t go back to original ROM...
I´ll do some research...
The original SPL is included in the package you downloaded from here..... Just have to use it, flash original rom, and you are on your way....
How exactly do I flash the original spl nbh file? I tried replacing the hard spl nbh with the original and running RUU but the spl remained the same.
you need to get the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558003
there is a folder marked original spl in there. it is the same process you did when you put the hard spl on there, just using the original nbh
