Hi there, I was given a link and downloaded the ROM and a radio for my 3 mobile so that I can get it back to the original state when I boughts the phone as 3 will not repair my phone if it has flashed.
I got both of the files (ROM & Radio) but I am unsure of how I add the radio. Do I do that AFTER I have flashed the ROM or before?
Also the number of the firmware on my sons HTC Kaiser is 2.50.771.0 (which is still in its original state from 3) but the link I downloaded is showing as version 1.00.000.0 will this be ok for me to put back on or has anyone who used this can clarify whether it will put my phone back to the original setting with the 3 logo on start up and Planet 3 sign in icon back onto my phone.
Thanks for your help guyz brilliant site and keep up the good work.

This is my first message here. I have read many times the forum and downloaded files, but I have a problem I cannot solve.
I bought a T-mobile Mda Compact (UK - WWE)
The first thing I did was to unlock the device, to see if it worked.
Then I tried to upgrade SW. After many attempts I succeded in upgrading ROM to ITA Imate 1.12.04, but couldn't upgrade Radio. In fact the upgrade had been possible only when I took off the radio file when upgrading.
now I want to upgrade to the radio 1.12, but my attempts were unsuccesful. Tried with original Maupgrade, with the cracked one, with the NOid version,....
Please help me. Thanks.
Sometimes it just won't go, do you have warranty left? Cause it's a failure which shouldn't be.
M
no warranty left.
MAupgrade files are all the same or are different for each product id?
how would you act if you were me?
If I were you? Well I'm very lucky I got a two year warranty, 1.4 year left .
But I would keep on trying via shipped-rom, all magician radios are suitable, & via SD-flash. Cause a trip to repair centre mostly isn't cheap. I know I've said it before: sometimes it just won't work & it needs to repaired by a repair centre :-(
Regards, M
BTW most instructions can be found in the wiki
yesterday night I tried again...
what I am sure of is that when I start MAupgrade the device goes in bootloader mode and so remains.... until I re-install the whole rom (radio excluded)...
I am wondering to leave things as they are... are there great differences between Radio 1.01 and 1.12 ?
thanks
I prefer radio 1.12, better reception & no trouble with reconnecting GPRS anymore.
But if you can't get it to upgrade ...
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

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.
Basically i got a xoom 3g a week ago i unlocked, rooted, backed up, and flashed ics. Ive been having trouble with the screen, its does not respond to my touch quite alot of the times, i need to take it back for warranty.
I restored my back up of honeycomb which is where im at now
Im in australia and baught it on a optus 3g plan. Build is h.6.5-17-1 (does not appear on motorola website)
I need to get rid of cwm recovery and replace it with the original boot loader and also lock the device but keep the current build.
Im very new to this and have no idea what im doing, help would be appreciated, please reply as if i was a 5 year old.
Thx
Check the stock files stickied at the top of the General section. You are likely to find what you're looking for there. Those stock image files are usually earlier builds...if you flash the correct one for your device you should be able to update OTA to the build that you had originally. Just make sure that it is the correct one for your device.
If you rooted, you should be able to restore.
thanks. I flashed the Telstra files and it all works, but the problem is im with Optus ( a difgerent Telco) I cant find those roms anywhere.
When I flashed the telstra 3g rom it places the carriers app, and changes settings and bookmarks etc for the carrier.
I need an optus 3g rom to flash, i dont care what version as long as can run ota to bring it up to 3.2 (which is what i purchased it as stock standarD)
I reently became a happy owner of black XZP and i love it but there is one thing that irritates me, it came with Orange branded software. My question is, can i flash original unbranded software (when flashtool will provide this option) without loosing IMEI,DRM keys, bravia engine and such ? And where can i find this kind of software ?
Also i heard from SONY centre Poland, that even if i do this myself somehow, it will return to the branded software with next software update as the software is tied to phones IMEI...
Would be gratefull for some extended explanation on this. Thanks.
Probably not since it probably locked to the Orange. You will need to get the network unlock code first before flashing a generic firmware.
Well I know that the XZ Premiums in Australia aren't locked, my friend got one from Telstra and then uses an Optus SIM in it.
Flashing generic FW won't cause you to lose DRM keys, etc, since only unlocking the bootloader will cause that stuff to be affected.
Also, even if the phone is network locked, I don't see why generic FW would affect that - That should only impact what carrier SIM you can use on the phone.
I used newflasher to flash customized UK version on my Vodafone branded version a couple of days ago, and received update for customized UK version this morning, updated ok, no probs.

I flashed mine two days ago on Windows 10 v1607.
I used the "old" version linked in the other thread. It is right that virus total show that there is some malware but only 2 of 64 AV product say that, I think that is a false positive.
First download your firmware with XperiFirm, pay attention on device version (single or dual sim)
Download Sony companion app and try to make a software repair (until it ask you to shutdown the phone and connect it with volume down button pressed), it will download and install Sony official flash driver (needed for flash the firmware with newflasher).
After that abort Sony software repair and download newflasher.
Go to the firmware folder extract partition.zip (this will allow new flasher to flash partition layout)
Also move away from the folder sim-lock.ta for security purpose (new flasher should have a check but bug can exist)
Copy newflasher.exe to the firmware folder
Shutdown the phone, press volume down button and plug-in the usb cable (Same instruction of Sony companion app), you should see windows driver configuration.
Wait driver configuration to finish and then run newflasher.exe as administrator
Wait until it finish (some system files flash can take minutes to flash don't worry) and check if there are errors in log.
Had problems with yellow triangle in driver but after using companion software per your instruction drivers got installed and everything went ok, flashed central eu version 1 and I'm happy now Many thanks!
