Of course brick is what you know but good news is it can be revived using one of the many methods in the link below.
COOKED ROM is a ROM built by someone using the OEM pakage with plus and minus of functions and inbuilt software.
SHIPPED ROM is the ROM which comes preinstalled in the PHONE.
CID Lock is Contract ID / Country ID (it means the phone is specific to this country only. (Language and operator)

It's possible to turn on ClearType on SP, I'm enjoying it on my Qtek 8310.

Doposia? Dopod? Is it another name of HTC S710?

HTC uses Dopod as their brand in Asia. For example:
Dopod 577W = Qtek 8310
Dopod C500 = HTC S710 = SPV E650

Thx anyway

It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.
It looks like the VOX is builded on same base as Tornado so it should work just flash it... did somebody try it?
You joking, Vox got 128M flash rom but Tornado only 64M.
moved to Vox.
Doen't work on qtek 8300
I get an update error message?
I can't get it to work on my qtek 8300
any ideas ?
Did anyone use this ROM upgrade yet? Care to post your findings?
I tried on a french E650 and got the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message. I'm looking how to CID unlock it.

this rom is not for your phone.
i flashed to this rom because i found my vox to be too slow for my liking. so far it seems stable. the only problem that i have encountered is that the overclocking program wont run now.
i had to cid unlock my device. i used imei-check.uk and all went well (after they made me send a copy of my license to verify who i am). the install went smooth. the device seems slightly quicker when switching screen orientation while in the messaging application. not fast, but a little quicker. my device would take several seconds before and sometimes it would freeze while doing this.
if i encounter any problems i will make note of it here.
Anyone try this with blackberry connect? Is this a new rom than what the htc vox (non-branded) shipped with?
it is a newer rom version than the one that shipped with my unbranded s710. i dont use the blackberry connect software, sorry
interesting. i hope someone will cook the rom, to make it available with all the must:
TCPMP, live messenger, etc
Right now I stay on my SFR S710 rom, as i debrand it with modaco ' s stuff, and customized it like i wanted.
We'll see what this rom as to offer.
ROM extract problems
Hi I tried to extract this ROM with imgfs tools but at the last step (the bin extract) i get this message :
unknown header type , FS_data_table??
May be the ROM is protected?
I just tried to flash my unbranded HTC Vox and I am getting the following:
ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID
This is really weird, I thought unbranded phones were all CID unlocked? Is that erro because it is locked? I was hoping to load this up becase my vox is a little slow too, but mostly because I was hoping that it fixes the continous reboot problem with microsd card. I have tried to clear out the notifications and that hasn't fixed the reboot problem.
Any ideas?

Damm, they want $38 to unlock the phone...what happened to those free CID unlockers on the older phones. Any way to do this for free? Hehehe. Do you like the new rom? Want to make sure it's worth it....

ER....Just thinking about it it's the real HTC S710(/VOX/Orange SPV E650 ) ROM? Right?
Not Tornado (C600?) ?
This one has all the stuff ready (Windows Live, etc) ?
Is there French inside? Or only English? I don't bother English, but I prefere French

What's that? Is it shareware or freeware?
I installed it. Working fine, miss the theme with small types though. The fonts look kind of big and crappy, i think maybe cleartype is not enabled but I can not figure out a way to turn it on.
I thought ClearType was only available on PPC??

HTC S710 ROM update

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!
Chuck
@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

[REQ] Searching unbranded WM 6 ROM for SGH-i620/i640

Hi,
i have a vodafone i640 (the i620 from vodafone is called i640 and has a metal front) with windows mobile 6 from ebay.
All networks can be used, but I want to delete all the vodafone stuff. I never had a smartphone with wm6, so I need to know whether
• I need a new unbranded firmware
or
• remove are there tools to delete the vodafone live! links and the stuff?
• Do I need a special WM6 version, because the uncommon display resolution of 320x240!?
A adress where I can get unbranded firmware or tools for this would be really helpful.
The i620 should also work on the i640.
Thanks for every help.

i620 6.1 rom??
Does a 6.1 rom exist for the i620? Also, to the person who has a a rom for the i620, where did you get it? I just purchased a i620, should be in this Friday...I can't wait!!
Does anyone know where can I find more information about windows mobile standard? It would appears this whole site is more catered to windows mobile professional. I would just like to know where I can get roms for the samsung i620.
Thanks in advance,
(still searching for a good guide on here on "how to cook your own rom for WinMo standard")
How abt Dumping the ROM and then Editing it to WM6 Vanilla and then re-installing??
Yea, I was thinking about that...but I just need to read up on how to dump rom and what I can change and not change(still looking for a good thread on how to do that).
But mainly I'm looking for 6.1rom for my samsung i620. Someone on here said they have a rom downloaded, but I'm not sure if it's a 6.1rom or just a clean 6.0 rom

Here is chinese WM 6.1 rom

There's also a link to english rom, but I'm almost sure it's another 6.0. Yet it differs from mine. Its i640bugk1 and I have i640bugi4.
Anyone brave enough to test?
Maybe some talented guy would translate the chinese software?

s720 = CDMA version of s710
hi CaNe, welcome to the forum
http://tech-faq.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/htc-s720.aspx said:
The HTC S720 is the CDMA version of the popular and very capable S710. Sporting a slightly different look, the S720 shares basically all of the same specs as its sibling the S710. Key features include a 2.0 mega pixel camera, Window Mobile 6 operating system, slide out QWERTY keyboard, stereo bluetooth and an expandable memory slot (micro SD).

ringtones and apps should work w/o problems on your HTC s720 (aka HTC Libra). for upgrading to a new ROM i'm not sure, i think here we need more info about the libra (what version has the spl, ipl, is it unlocked, what for a CID, and so on).
maybe one of the cooks could help here with more knowledge than /me .
also have a look at the wiki, sometimes really helpfull and always interersting VOX Wiki Pages.
i hope i could help you a little bit, enjoy your stay at xda-dev!
It has CDMA not GSM, therefore other drivers are needed. Extract a ROM for the S720 (if you find one, otherwise get it from the device itself). Then replace the OEMDrivers folder from a Vox ROM and cook a ROM with that. That should be a start, but I don't know if you can use the Vox USPL. So no idea if you will be able to flash it.
