Dear All,
After two years of loyal services my spv e 650 , alias HTC Vox quit working . It is not booting at all , although It is starting in boot loader mode. My problem is that it is a branded orange romania phone , and I'm not able to find an original Rom version, neither to burn an unbranded version , because of the 1.22 USPL , which I'm not able to downgrade because the phone doesn't start in normal mode , in order to have an active sync connection for the USPL up(down)grade. To resume : phone is branded , doesn' t start in normal mode , but does start in boot loader ( version of SPL 1.22.0000 ). Is there any way to burn an unofficial Rom version ? Thank you in advance for any advices ,
Liciniu
Look up the "Gold Card" method in the Wiki. You need a non-SDHC memory card of any size and the free programs mentioned. It will write a special key to the boot sector of the memory card that will allow to load any ROM to the device in bootloader mode.
Hi Tobbbie,
After several tries ( I don't know what went wrong ) I've managed to do it. although it worked with only one version of ROM , HTC made, but I do have a fully functional phone . Many, many thanks for your hint,
Liciniu
Good to read that - I also have to revise my statement about which ROMs are loaded with the Gold Card method. Only valid signed ROMs (either HTC or other branded ones) will load - cooked ROMs are not loaded with the Gold Card method as they are not valid signed.

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.
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...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
This Tool Is For Sim Unlocking The Device But Also Makes The Device SUPERCID (SUPERCID Unlocks All Bootloader Commands)
Regards,
OllieD
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 .????
Situation is like this, I was using newest 6.5 version but wanted go down to older, upgrade failed with message that file is corrupt.
Now when I turn on phone I see only HTC logo.
Hard reset does not work because as soon as I unpress softkeys logo appears.
I can enter bootloader and start upload but always 3% progress and not more.
upload from SD card does not work
bootloader (color bars) shows
ONBL 1.35.0000
SPL 1.35.0000
CPLD - 04
Code:
Cmd>getdevinfo
Device Model ID = V O X 0 1 0 1 0 0 HTCSVOX010100»S4HTCE
Cmd>
item is SPV E650 from Orange UK
I tried almost all ROMs from FTP but no luck, wrong VENDER ID
however this one
RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Test.exe
gave me INVALID MODEL ID
if you can cook something then please do !

there is no such ROM on XDA FTP however I found a working one that made my device back to life

First choice for branded devices is the original ROM, so you are lucky to get it and it should work. The Vodafone V1415 is device where no official ROMs are available and there you have to use the "Gold Card" method (search for this in the Forum and Wiki). This will put a special key in the boot sector of a (non SDHC) card (devicetype and card-serial dependent) which allows you to load ANY ROM from the bootloader.

if u get it to work then tell me how u did that... i really want to know!!!
i got fed up when that happened to me.
when the htc logo continues, it means u phone is hanged. and even the time clock of the cpu stops. after 5-10 minutes u can also see the htc logo flickering a bit!!!
if u have the same problem then u will have to give your phone to the service center.

simple
you load bootloader (via camera button method)
next you start flasher from your PC and upload ROM
trick is to find the right ROM because when your phone is locked you can use only dedicated one which is compatible with your operator
otherwise there is a magic described above
once again EOT

i tried the method u stated. i always prefer this one over any other. but it did'nt work for me. now its the headache of service centre guys since it is still in warranty!!!
Did you lookup the Gold Card method? This WILL work - as this is exactly what the service will do. I am sure this is not a warranty case, but you maybe lucky.

yeah, i too think was not a warranty case but i gave a try and yes, i got lucky since this was the 6th time i gave my phone for a warranty claim.
OK, tired of trying new ROMs now? To be in the safe side you need to understand how things work:
1.) SIM-Lock (your phone is locked to a network/SIM Card) will stay even after ROM change. There are services to Unlock your phone and allow any SIM card. This has nothing to do with "Application Unlock".
2.) Application Un-Lock is the method to allow any program to run on your device. This is achieved by changing security settings in the registry of the WM operating system. Only privileged applications may do this - mostly "SDA Application Unlock" can do the job.
3.) Some devices are "branded" and the device carries a "Vendor ID" so that only ROMs can be put on the device where the ROM "Vendor ID" matches that of the device. Examples are: Orange E650, Vodafone VDA-V or V1415. This has nothing to do with SIM-Lock, even though many branded devices are SIM-locked as well (not VDA-V which I have one). The check for the Vendor-ID can be skipped either using a universal loader "USPL" (which is usually part of the cooked ROM distributions and called from a batchfile) or the "GoldCard method" which is your last resort and will ALWAYS work.
BTW: GoldCard is the slang for a special prepared microSD or miniSD card, not a SIM card! And it is NOT the process of loading a ROM from these cards - which is an alternate method of loading a ROM, e.g. if the Windows/USB is not an option.

does gold card method works with 4gb micro sdhc?
No it will not work with a SDHC card. The device in boot-loader moder seems not to be able to access the SDHC card. A normal (up to 2GB) card will work however - any size will do it as only the bootsector will get some bytes written to. The card remains usable - you can even take a card with data on it - writing the data to it to make it a "GoldCard" will not harm the data stored on it.
Mind that the key written is specific for a certain device-type, e.g. the Vox. It will work in any Vox then, however.
Having had many flashes on my old windows mobile phones and hacking the iphone i thought an android would be simple
i have a belgium htc magic which had its spl changed to accept roms as in the guides , so i tryed to flash the vodafone ausie rom , every thing went well , the radio got updated , then it failed with the country id problem
now the phone is stuck in ruu mode , i cannot get into the recovery mode as i had done before , the main screen has at the bottom a picture of a rom/ram in a red circle with the stripe through the middle, when the phones in that mode i can hear my twitter app on the phone bleeping everytime i get a new tweet but it wont boot into the main interface , i have tryed through ms dos all the commands but it always fails , the phone needs a ruu file to install the phone back to life but after 2 days searching here and on google i have not found the belgium rom to restore it back to life , i dont know if there will be a update soon as its a 32a version , any ideas guys or how to build a ruu to get it back , i had saved my nandoid but that does not help at all , any help would be very gratefull as iam pulling out my hair with this phone
details of the phone are
sapphire pvt 32a ship s-on h
hboot 1.76.007 ( sapp10000)

thanks in advance
On the forum have posted a lot of similar info!
- use brain
- use search button
And the answer is:
- use goldcard
Create goldcard from sdcard to avoid checking Customer ID. It is simply method, but i notice, that some sd cards and some devices are not compatible with this process
You must find following: a computer (notebook) with Ubuntu (or Linux-based OS) and built-in cardreader. But i you have friend with Android-phone process will be simpliest.
There is a problem getting CID from cardreader, that connected through USB-port to computer, because Ubuntu mounts sdcard from cardreader as physical storage, not as device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
There is instruction of creating Goldcard.
attention: Step 20 is for Hero only
At this step you must use any RUU ROM with version 3.03.XXX for Magics (HK Vodafone-Smartone, Singapore, Malaysia - does not matter). You cann't use old RUU ROMs, cause you flashed a new perfected SPL already. It doesn't allow downgrading.
p.s. there is an alternative method getting CID in Ubuntu

thanks for your help i will look in to it , i did search the forum but there seems so many different ways people have managed to restore thier phones , have contacted htc as well for a real copy in ruu format as iam sure they must have it on their ftp and will if i get it upload it and post it here on the forum for any users with the same model from belgium to restore back thier original rom
no goldcard
apple macs suck , iam unable to make my sd card as it cannot be seen in dos commands , will have to wait until i can get hold of a real computer so i can try again
No need for a goldcard you can do it right way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589722
read the post then take a look post 35 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5033743&postcount=35
what you need is change the files so you have the hero spl and hero recovery and this new radio inside the file now you can ron ruu (as explaind in #35 ) you should end up with a eng S-OFF SPL and the new rom then it is posiable to recover back to an older ROM if you want , search newxt time for a topic not just for recover a dead phone!
remember new radio = new SPL first then maybe downgrade,
is it in RUU mode or just fastboot ?
any ways you should fix it using these links
cheers
will read and try out the links you gave thanks and its a ruu mode my phones stuck in
It cann't help to peekie.
Because his phone have perfected SPL 1.76.0007 already.
It doesn't allow to flash other SPL. We've tried with my friend, but RUU doesn't flash eng SPL if phone have perfected.
I flashed successfully, cause i have eng SPL 1.33.2010
p.s. Goldcard needed for RUU Update, cause Customer ID is different between HongKong and Romania =)
up and running
thanks to all your tips i managed to get my phone back to life using my wifes htc hero ( she was away for a few days ) made the magaic card and flashed the vodafone rom , htc were useless and said i had a vodafone version ( as i live in holland ) not realising it was a second hand one from belgium and yep its very fast and cool now , merry xmas to all

Nothing at all happens, still the same !! Well mine is unbranded phone ( i hope it means i can put any sim into it ) here is my phone info ( may be useful ) :

and put OMEGIMG.nbh file from DFT HSPL's thread into it ( around 24mb file ) and made the gold card
