First Rom Upgrade - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

hi guyz
am going to upgrade my XDA-Exec (Universal) G4 for the first time. its currently running WM5 from O2 but i am going to use it with another Service Provider.
now want to make sure of couple of things.
first... is there any HardSPL type of programe for Universal so that atleast i dont endup bricking the phone ?
second what exactly does the CID/EROM locks are for or SIM lock. I can use my other companies SIM in this phone so do i still need to do it ?
third how safe is the ROM updating without anything like HardSPL....?
reason why iam asking this is because its my friends phone and dont wanna brick it and second i have upgraded my HERM but have not done a Universal WM5 to 6 or 6.1 upgrade

Welcome.
No Their Is No HardSPL For Universal.
IMHO CID Unlocking Should Be Done As Various Bootloader Commands For Recovering The Device Will Only Work On A CID Unlocked Device. (I Think!)
Rom Upgrading Is Relatively Safe. Jus Make Sure The Battery Is Fully Charged.
Read The WIKI For More Information.
I Hope All Goes Smoothly For You.
P.S I Highly Reccomend Tomal's 8.0 Rom!

OllieD

aaaa what is IMHO CID ? and how do i unlock it ?

Tis In The Wiki...
This Link Should Help You Out...

This Tool Is For Sim Unlocking The Device But Also Makes The Device SUPERCID (SUPERCID Unlocks All Bootloader Commands)

STUCKK .... Yikeeesss
guyz ..
i got the ROM updated last night and was using when i finally thought of using another ROM... while upgrading the other rom it just gave and error message on the PC and the phone was on the page where it ask you to press 0 for default ... so i did that and the phone restarted but now its stuck on the Splash Screen (the O2 operator starting screen) ...
if i connect the phone to the PC it will not recognize the phone as its totally stuck on the Splash screen ... if i try to goto the bootloader screen it gives me the same message of either Pressing X or 0 ... also the USB is not recognizing it ..
what to do .????

Hello, I feel sorry for your bricked Prophet but here some informations. First of all, there is no need to write in big red letters. This usually annoy people or make them feel offended. You are not more important than others - who have their own problems as well. Writing normally would usually give better chances for a reply.
Here some feedback for your problem :
a) As long as you can get back into the boot loader as long everything is recoverable (hold camera button and reset and keep the camera button pressed until you get into the boot loader with the different colors). As long as this is still there as long you can recover.
b) Get an official ROM from your service provider for your Prophet and flash it back.
c) Only problem you might have is the updated boot loader (2.20).
big red annoys me.
You did not try to flash your G3 phone with a G4 rom now did you? (or G4 with G3 rom..)
As Spatzm said: Try to get into bootloader. If that works try updating again with the official qtek 2.20 rom. (here). And READ that topic about how to install and get yourself the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe from the ftp (see wiki).
Since you tried to update with the 2.20 rom (which is the base of Jesters rom) you cannot downgrade, that's why you need to use the 2.20 official qtek rom (which is suitable for both G3 and G4). You can only downgrade if you have a CID unlocked G3 (if you don't know if it's CID unlocked then it's not ) with a G4 device you cannot downgrade to put it down shortly.

Vox Update SPL (USPL) 1.16

Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here
I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.
noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?
This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

jockyw2001 great but make one for htc oxygen pls.

confirm this is working very gd

Same here
anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???
so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.
Cheers

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.
input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner
cheers
Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks
thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.
why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

After WM 6.1 official ROM Upgrade ... system problems..

Hi,
I downloaded Official WM 6.1 Upgrade from HTC http://member.htc.com/downloadfiles....0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.zip
and after running that... My system is dead slow and also unable to install few program like Schap's Advance Configurator etc and other issues like
System Reboot time increases....
GPS taking too much time for a Fix
Menu Pop down slowly...
Stucks quite often
.... And after every hour or so the Message popup like that " Please Inform Microsoft about this issue ...... "
Since i am not a computer Geek... Please advice some simple solution ...
Though i also download the official RUU from HTC which released on 21-2-08 but when i run that it tells me that " THIS UPDATE IS NOT FOR YOUR DEVICE " after the SPL screen...
So, is there anyway that i revert back to original System dated 28-8-07
Ur help in this would be highly appreciated....
And PLEASE accept my appologies is this issue has already been raised here...
not sure what you mean by dead slow. First off, the warning that you get that the rom isn't for your device tells me you are not CID unlock. You can always CID unlock your phone and then put it back to the original SPL if you want to keep things back to normal.
Thanks for the reply.....

Well it takes time to respond to the command... e.g. if i click on the START then it took quite a time for a menu to pop down....... as far as CID unlock... i am not sure....
But i purchased my tytn II from UK as a sim free unit @ 455 pounds... and before that WM 6.1 upgrade, i never played with the ROM or firmware... no SPL nothing anysort run on my unit.... I just run the RUU directly from PC and follow the on screen instructions....

hey, i just took a brief look in the elfin section. Go there and look at the stickies, there are guides for un bricking yoiur elfin and a good guide on how to correctly hardspl and flash....DO READ THEM (and you normally should flash a rom from bootloader in any case )
If you dont want to hardspl, then try the uspl way. You didnt say what rom you had tried to flash or wot you have done to get it stuck in bootloader.
Also are you using vista or xp on your computer?
i'm using xp on my comp,i got to bootloader because i tried to flash some roms and when i tried last time flashing onyx one it showed me error message and then started the problem.
ok, did u hard-spl sucessfully? what is you ips/spl shown on bootloader?
IPL is 2.26.0002
SPL is 2.26.0000 and as i said in right top corner RUU,
i've tried to flash it from sd card,but it ain't worked andlooked at goldcard method and i haven't got another winmo devic and don't know somebody who has,please help me to unbrick my phone,it was both from orange uk.

Please have a look at post 3 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
Is this what you have tried doing previously?
Did you unlock your elfin first if it is locked on orange network?
If you cant get it working after trying this, go back to first link above and flash back an original stock rom, at least ur device will be working again!!
ps when u hardspl and tried to flash, did u disable antivirus on PC, and disconnect all other non essential usb devices? This is an commen cause of bad flashes, also try other usb ports, 2 of mine i cant flash on, 2 i can (which is wierd) - (i have experienced this myself).
If any of this doesnt help, as for help in the elfin section, but DO describe all your steps properly and fully and enclose links of roms tried etc so someone with an elfin can see what you have donw and save unnecassary posts etc.
mate,the link you gave me is that when i upgraded my elfin when it was working, i don't know what you mean about unlocked it is sim unlocked what about cid i really don't have idea,because i couldn't connect to mtty,please can you give me the link for original stock rom for my elfin,because i haven't done backup and i downloaded one but i don't know how to put in when i got in bootloader only and can't connect acivesync please tell me how to this aswell,PLEASE HELP ME UNBRICK MY ELFIN!!
Have you resolved this?
Search and download a stock rom from HTC or from here, use the search and wiki, you will find one there.
When you plug in ur elfin into the computer and put it in bootloader, do you see "USB" on the screen along with ur ipl and spl?
You should, and if you do you should be able to flash the stock rom on.

New to ROM update, need help

Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony
Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...
Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it
I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...
If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.
Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please
Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.
