Thx mate.
What this package include exactly!
Pes mas liga pragmata gia na kseroume ti na perimenoume na doume.

This is Ace Hellas's greek rom. Two files are patched to bypass IMEI check.
This version has a problem with smartdialing.
I might upload a newer one later.
The package includes just a .nba file (to be used with awizard).
Thx andrew.
I will try it and I'll give a feedback.

Actualy don't try this version.
There is a problem with smartdialing (one .dll got ****ed up)
Otherwise it works.
I'll have to upload a new version which doesn't have this problem.
I didn't do this earlier because I thought no one was interested
Ok. thx for warning me.
I'll wait for your next ROM upload.
Hellenic ROM for HTC Prophet (Qtek S200) by andrew_sh
Instructions:
1) Update the phone using ROMUpdateUtility.exe
2) After installing Ext. Rom, you will see a Security Prompt. Select allow.
3) Wait for a few seconds, the device will reset automatically
NOTE: If you do not get the security prompt, do the following:
a) Press and hold the D-PAD button
b) Press and hold the battery Icon
c) Release both
d) Tap "Εκτελεση" (Ektelesi - Run)
e) type "langbootcheck" and tap Ok
f) Select Allow
g) Wait for a few seconds, the device will reset automatically
The nk.nbf contains no bootloader (only OS and Ext. Rom), so this minimizes the
risk of something going ROM.
NOTE2: As everything else, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY
NOTE3: This ROM is copyright by ACE HELLAS - Use only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES unless
you own a device purchased from them.

[email protected], no response after update.
I get this screen of red, green, blue colour.
IPL 1.00
SPL 2.15
Any ideas how to recover?
OK, panic is over. :shock:
I installed the previous ROM (RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID).
I took off the battery, put USB and run ROM Update Utility. :lol:
The phone will probably need to be cid unlocked first. I can't tell because mine was cid unlocked anyway
What is cid unlocking? and where can I find info about it?
(Just send me links in order not to get out of subject)
Thx
andrew_sh thank you very much!!!
at last i have a complete greek rom in my qtek s200 even though my spl was different than yours
Guys don't be afraid ....... try it!
I have even greek t9 in phonepad !!!
jimbou, give us instructions if you can in order to take sdvantage of andrew's posted ROM.
Thx in advance
Use the instructions of andrew_sh to do it
If your SPL is 0001 you will have no problem, but if it is 0000 you won't be able to do it
Then you will have to do what i did:
you need these two tools:
TyphoonNbfTool_04.exe and
aWizard-v1_2 (avoid using version 1.3, it didn't work for me)
1.with thyphoonnbftool you decrypt from nk.nbf found in greek rom, a new file named OS.n_d and rename it to OS.nba
2.use awizard and in options menu first do rapi unlock, then cid unlock and finaly press w to flash the new rom.
3.wait about 20-25 minutes
4.hard reset and you have a greek rom in your prophet
5.In my case there was a little bug, but thanks to andrew_sh 's instructions i managed to overcome it. There was no start menu, no settings, nothing.If you experience that, then keep middle key of the d-pad pressed and also keep pressed with the stylus the battery icon on the top right corner of the screen.A menu will appear and you will press ektelesi.
Then write langbootcheck and press ok
It is done!
you have a greek qtek s200!
Thx. I'll try it
What version is the greek rom? Is it the latest 2.09 ?
Thank you.
Yes, i think it is 2.09
no, it is not 2.09.
it is the one before 2.08.
If I see many people interested, I could do something about the 2.09
hi guys, I hope this is not irrelevant.

Inspired by some threads in the Hermes and Trinity forums I started to explore the VOX bootloader. You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version. In connection settings of activesync uncheck "allow USB connections" and connect PC and Vox with a USB cable. The PC will recognize the Vox and install an interface driver.
You need the MTTY to talk with the bootloader and send it commands. The Hermes wiki provides some good information and also has a link to MTTY:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootLoader
Unfortunately the Vox bootloader (v1.16.0000) doesn't display help information. The first command you should enter is password. I found a password for Trinity and Hermes which also works for Vox:
password BsaD5SeoA
Here are a couple of other commands which work: emapiWlanEERW, emapiInit, emapiWlanMac, emapiPwrDwn, emapiRead, emapiTest, emapi, cpldver, DumpReservoir, CheckImage, calcrccheck, getdevinfo, ruustart, ruurun, progress, wdata, password, mbr, set, atcmd, ResetDevice, BTRouting, BTTestMode, SetDebugMethod, IMEI, ls, lnbs
I would like to find a way to dump the SPL and ROM to SD-card or to PC. I tried a couple of things (r2sd, d2s) to no avail.
Anyone else some ideas?
Update1
I got stuck in the bootloader and luckily found how to boot into the OS again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1094479&postcount=11
password BsaD5SeoA
ruurun 0
ResetDevice
Update2
I discovered the 'ls' command. Afaik it allows to dump the rom parts like SPL, IPL, splashscreen when the device is CID unlocked. My unbranded S710 is SIM unlocked, but unfortunately not CID unlocked. When I issue 'ls' there's a "not allowed" error
Update3
I found a 'good' VOX ROM upgrade (the ones on the XDA FTP are all corrupt): RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
Another upgrade ROM is the Dopod:
RUU_Vox_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.19.707.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship
I used NBHextract.exe to extract both ROMs. The SPL bootloaders are attached.
NBHextract shows following info for the 1.15 Vox ROM upgrade:
Code:
Device: VOX010100
CID: HTC__001
Version: 1.15.405.2
Language: UK
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_GSM.nb
Extracting: 03_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 03_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 04_OS.nb
and this for the Dopod upgrade:
Code:
Device: VOX010100
CID: DOPOD001
Version: 1.19.707.3
Language: USA
Extracting: 00_IPL.nb
Extracting: 01_SPL.nb
Extracting: 02_MainSplash.nb
Encoding: 02_MainSplash.bmp
Extracting: 03_GSM.nb
Extracting: 04_OS.nb
Update4
I managed to back up my S710 using itsme's "bkondisk" tool and "prun" from his itsutils suite here and here. Copy bkondisk.exe to /Windows on your device.
After running this on your PC
Code:
prun bkondisk.exe "\Storage Card"
following files are created in \Storage Card and a log file "bkondisk.log" in \
Code:
bk_00_0000.img - IPL : ONBL1 + ONBL2
bk_02_0005.img - GSM + splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs
bk_03_0025.img - OS
bk_06_0001.img - SPL
bk_08_0205.img - userfilesystem
I compared a couple of these .img files with the .nb files extracted by NBHextract from an official RUU. The IPL and SPL look quite okay, but the OS is mapped totally different. So don't think you can just rename for example bk_03_0025.img to OS.nb in order to have a flashable file !! I have attached my dumped SPL which is version 1.16
Next mission is to find a 'good' (not corrupted) version of the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Test.exe ROM upgrade. See this Excalibur thread. I think the same applies to S710
Update5
With Dark Simpson's htc rom tool here it is possible to create a flashable image file from separate .nb files. There is also Dutty's good NBHtool 1.1 yet, but so far I haven't tried it.
What we still need to have for flashing unsigned ROM images is a SSPL. See here and here.
Alternatively we need a so called Update SPL (USPL) which unlocks CID and then allows flashing any rom to your device. The version for the ELF created by the brilliant moderator pof can be found here. Since the ELF is very similar to VOX, I will study it and see if I can use it to implement a SSPL (software SPL) which allows us to also flash any ROM, but does not require to flash an USPL. I think flashing IPL and SPL is a bit too tricky atm.
Take the Elf USPL, remove the RUU folder (to be sure you don't flash anything by mistake), in the LOADER folder change the .nb file for a Vox bootloader (different version than the one on your device) and use the same name for the .nb file, then run elf-uspl.exe on your PC.
If elf & vox are so similar, this should jump to the bootloader you've placed in the LOADER folder, to check it disable activesync usb connections and go into bootloader with mtty. Do an "info" command or whatever identifies that the bootloader you're seeing is the one you've placed on the LOADER folder and not the one actually on your device.
If you succeed in loading a custom bootloader I can help you with the don't check cid / don't check signatures... patches
Good luck!
Thanks for replying pof. I did as you said and tried it with spl 1.15 (whereas 1.16 is flashed on my S710). First I went through step1 and then went in to step2 where at 75% the screen got blank and it rebooted the phone in my native bootloader 1.16 RUU mode. I suppose that's not what we wanted to see?
Where did you find RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.2R4_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship? Do you have a link?
Thanks

Cant Find The Bootloader For The Life of Me
Tried:
"You can enter the bootloader by pressing the camera and power button at the same time. You see the tri-color (red/green/blue) bootscreen which shows the bootloader and CPLD version."
No Luck. I must be thick. Its gotta be just that easy... but...
The S710 simply boots into my home screen.
Can someone PLEASE post a (little) more detail about how to boot into the bootloader on the s710/vox?
THANKS.
Cheers.
** EDIT **
OK- Better bootloader entry instructions for SP noobs (like myself):
1) Turn device off
2) Unplug power/usb cable from handset
3) Press and hold camera button
4) Plug power/usb cable into handset
5) Be amazed by Blue-Green-Red Bootloader screen.
Yeah, it won't boot in bootloader mode if the usb cable is connected. Well, it's sometimes better to find out things all by yourself
Besides, I don't think anyone other than myself is researching this stuff on Vox. Too many ordinary users and nearly noone in to h*cking.
You don't have 1.04 on your phone by any chance?
RE: older bootloader
No joy.
Sorry.
Its 1.15
My SP has vanilla mods.
Its just out of the box the last 4 days in NYC!
The phones not even available AFAIK in the US yet-- except special order.
Got mine in London last week.
Still working out the kinks.
BTW:
Im looking for info/docs/someone who has forced GSM codec through WM6 to this handset through Asterisk LOCALLY-- Asterisk SIP logs show successful codec negotiation and initial start of audio delivery-- but the stream pukes out on my handset immediately-- ideas? Im begining to think it may be a cpu issue. Thanks.

Yeah saw that. I don't think it's a CPU issue, could run GSM codec just fine on a stone old iPaq. Try trunning omap overclocker and set it to 240MHz and see if it makes a difference. Keep using the SIP thread for any replies on this
POF's O2/Nova Solution
jockyw2001-
I suppose youve seen Pof's post #89 (dated 4-8) in the "ELF Update SPL (USPL)" thread which calls for running enable-rapi.cab (on O2 Nova) BEFORE elf-uspl.exe?
Id try it myself but want a few days of joy with my handset BEFORE creating a potential brick.
From my reading if the elf-uspl.exe makes it to 75% in stage 2 before white-screening-- you're close (well, 75% anyway.. wink!). Seems like Pof could have a couple of suggestions at that point. Maybe hell be kind enough to comment?
You're on it.. but I thought Id ask.
Cheers.
Heres something I am trying to work out-- even after many hours of reading:
I understand that there is an exploit in the 1.04 bootloader which can potentially bypass CID and Certs when flashing a new ROM image on both SPs and PPCs..
I also understand that bootloaders 1.09+ cant be downgraded.
So am I right in assuming that potential VOX ROM-chefs have at least ** TWO ** potential paths to solving the bootloader issue:
1) Find a 1.04 bootloader **AND** a tool which will load it successfully
-- Then use the exploit (which I read about-- but cant find) to flash the ROM
-or-
2) Find a way to Flash **ANY** bootloader onto the vox with elf-uspl.exe
-- Then (keeping our fingers crossed) elf-uspl.exe can be patched to defeat the CID&CERT issues with the vox
Now heres the question:
I am right in assuming that we **DONT** need to find a way to flash **SPECIFICALLY** the 1.04 bootloader onto the ROM **BEFORE** we can take advantage of a patched elf-uspl.exe?
Is that correct?
Cheers.
Oh yeah.. AM I right in assuming that the WM5/6 bootloaders are EXACTLY the same code (except for dated revs) across all WM SP and PCC devices-- sort of like the ability to install grub or lilo on **ANY VENDORS PC** no matter what OS or eventual Software Packages end up on the box?
Looked at another way:
When they talk about the 1.15 bootloader in the Blue Angel Board they are talking about the EXACT SAME 1.15 bootloader in the VOX board?
I mean, I know this is gotta be the case but I need a little reassurance here-- As Im still a bit confused on why PPC software should run on SP devices-- even understanding that they use (generally) the same subset (WM5/6) of the CE5/6 API-- But have different CPUs.
850mph: cool to see there actually are brothers in arms
I've tested pof's USPL extensively, but haven't got it to work (yet).
Actually you need to run enable-rapi.cab only if your phone isn't yet application unlocked, i.e. if it doesn't allow to run unsigned apps. Mine is application unlocked so I can skip that step.
The next step is to load a modded SPL in RAM at physical address 0x10000000 and to run it. Once this modded SPL is running another modded SPL can be flashed.
I've tried to load an unmodified SPL in RAM (e.g. SPL 1.15) and to run it. This can be done with following 2 steps:
1) psetmem.exe -f -p 0x10000000 spl.nb
2) run haret.exe on device (can use cecopy & cerun); cerun -b CE:\haret.exe
Note: haret.exe is a linux kernel loader which was modified by pof to run a USPL from 0x10000000
What happens is that my phone reboots into the stock bootloader (SPL 1.16) in RUU mode. I have to use MTTY in order to boot the phone in WM again (see post #1 and #2 in this thread).
Actually I think haret.exe does run the SPL 1.15 which is loaded in RAM, but that at some point the code resets the device.
I'm quite sure we can run a specially prepared USPL or SSPL which allows flashing another specially prepared SPL such that the device is effectively CID unlocked which again means that any vendor's firmware can be flashed. I also think we don't absolutely need the SPL 1.04 for that purpose.
This is good info.
I see what you are trying to do now.
Im gonna take some time to get up to speed on Dumping/Reading/Flashing from the Trinity Hermes and Elf pages. Until then Im afraid Ill be of little use.
Until now Ive strictly been a Linux/GCC-guy. Im tempted (but not convinced) that I want to take the time to learn Microsofts WM5/6 IDE. Its a time issue (obviously).
But I will spend some time on the whole S710 ROM-cooking (and bootloader) issue this week. It looks manageable.
I see you have basically been mixing and matching the various ROM cooking tools-- including using Msofts CE powerToys. Is there no single suite (besides the ImagefsTools) which you can recommend I look at first (With the understanding we need to solve the bootloader issue specifically for the vox first)-- I see various kitchens for various devices. Do any of them see plausible as a starting point for an HTC/Vox kitchen suite?
GOOD LUCK.
Cheers.
** EDIT **
I REALLY think the S710/S730spec are GREAT devices-- couple of minor issues-- but just fantastic form-factors.

Hi guys,
I just got my XPA 1415 some days ago (for info, it's just the same than the others (HTC S710, SPV E650 and Vodafone V1415, VOX, ...) but from Swisscom (Swiss provider).
I've been reading around and found this thread that was the most related. I actually tried to use the techniques provided by jockyw2001 with no luck.
Doing a prun bkondisk does not work, neither any of the itsutil tools. I do think that my device is somehow protected, but I've no clues how to proceed next. I'm going to continue searching, but if any of you has an idea, it's more than welcome.
If I manage to dump that *damned* ROM, I'll make it available...
I've currently (on booloader ONBL 1.23.0000, SPL 1.23.0000, CPLD 04)
Cheers,
Nick
Nevermind...
I think I've been able to proceed with the backup (I've used the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager) when I realized that my system (Windows 2003 x64) the tool was not working.
Which made me think that maybe the procread and the other prun bkondisk might also have been blocked by the x64.
I've tested on my laptop (regular XP) and it works fine... just FYI !
** EDIT **
I've also tested the ELF haret with a downoaded SPL and I got the same result as jockyw2001...
BTW, jocky, did you find a way to re-create a proper nh from the bkondisk end result (bk_##_####.img) ?

The IPL and SPL are useable. The radio dump called bk_02_0005.img is from offset 0xA0000 identical to the radio rom. The first 0xA0000 bytes are other parts, probably splash + gsmdata + simlock + serialnrs. The OS file seems not directly useable and must be reordered somehow. More interesting is the ROM reconstruction method described here. Of course first we need to be able to flash unlock the Vox. I think the SSPL is most suitable for this purpose, this may need some reversing of the SPL with IDA Pro.
Thanks for those info, I'll try to go in that direction. Would be nice to find which one is splash, which one is gsm and the others below 0xA000.
I know we need to rev. SSPL. Don't exactly know where to start though I can't flash mine with any original ROM as Swisscom is not providing any.
BTW. viewimgfs gives me back a "packing DLL not found" (or some similar). Anyone had that also ?
I'll try to download IDA Pro...
It's below 0xA0000
I will do some testing again with the Vox today. I will see if I can paint the screen with a few instructions @0x10000000
I think I can not just run the SPL on VOX in the same way as you can on the ELF. The IPL on the VOX is 128kB, whereas on ELF it is only 2kB. So I think I will have to patch the IPL and run that first. I'm afraid that it will take a bit more time. Basically it will then be a SSPL (search forum for SSPL and user 'des') with both IPL and SPL patched and running in RAM.
But maybe it is also possible to patch just the SPL, because it could be that the default action initiated by IPL is to reset the device in RUU bootloader mode.
Given some time it can all be done I'm sure
Hi everyone, I just got my first smartphone, an AT&T Tilt (HTC 8925) a couple of days ago. I'm happy with it except that I wish it to display Chinese when browsing webpages. I don't need the interface to be Chinese, nor do I need to input Chinese. I just wish when I visit a Chinese website, I'm not seeing blocks.
Don't know if this makes a difference, but either traditional or simplified Chinese would work (I read both).
Searching the whole forum didn't give me much. Probably people had some discussions before, just I didn't find them yet.
I'm totally new on smartphones. Any help is very much appreciated.
info on the phone:
ROM version: 3.57.502.2 WWE (since shipped I didn't flash the ROM)
ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I just flashed the SPL to Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 following instructions. BTW, which version should I use, 3.56 or 3.29/28?
I did not flash the ROM, b/c I'd like to find out more on Chinese language support.

Thank you for the suggestion. I just installed it on my official ATT ROM (WM 6.1). It showed installation successfull. It also said it may not display properly b/c it's designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile.
Anyway, then I visited mitbbs.com and www.sina.com.cn as a test (using Internet Explorer). Both did not show Chinese. I also tried changing encoding to Unicode UTF-8 and it didn't work either. under system settings, I looked at regional settings and didn't find anything Chinese.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done? Do you happen to know what ROM floating in this forum for WM6.1 can indeed incorporate this O2 Chinese support?
Thanks again

For regional setting, check the size of your wince.nls make sure it's > 1mb in size (typical English only is only 300 - 400k in size). But if you already planning to change yr rom, I highly recommand your try my rom. It's pre-configure for Tradition Chinese (HK, mostly), but will work on simplified chinese as well.

ROM date: 07/17/08
Radio version: 1.65.21.18
Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I read all of the above . However, to ensure that I dont run into wall,
Can someone post the step by step instructions including any potential "landmine" on how to migrate from the
ATT ROM above to Jack 2.6 ROM including the instructions if I need to install
those pre-requisites (Soft and Hard SPL ?)and proper Radio ?

Protocol version: 25.88.40.05H
I read all of the above . However, to ensure that I dont run into wall,
Can someone post the step by step instructions including any potential "landmine" on how to migrate from the
ATT ROM above to Jack 2.6 ROM including the instructions if I need to install
those pre-requisites (Soft and Hard SPL ?)and proper Radio ?
Many Thx

Wiki is your good friend here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
Hi Jack:
I had already unlock the ATT tilt using unlock code ...Do I still need to run step one below?
1. CID-unlock your device by following the instructions at pof's HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 - CID Unlock & Flash any ROM to your device (4 free)-thread
BTW, I did get the "white screen" on this phone ... and follow the instructions to :
- 1a. download the 5 attached files
1b. pull out the battery, REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !! and reinsert battery (this step *is* important)
1c. connect your PC to phone with a USB cable
2. copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
The step (2) above , copy the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to the device ...Pls advise which folder and how to run it after taking the SIM OUT ?
Thx
White Screen Issue
Hi Jack:
JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe to your device and run it (make sure the USB cable is still connected). If you still get a white screen then reset your device and now try JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe ...
Are these JumpSPL1.56 or JumpSPL1.93 run from PC or the terminal device itself ? How do I run these two ".exe" files in the device ?
Why am I getting White Screen and others devices dont get white screen ?
Thx

Anywhere. I would copy it to the top level (\). Even if you took your sim out, you can close the phone page (which complaints about sim) by tapping the top right corner or the hardware red button (hang up). Then use "File Explorer", locate the exe files that you copied and click on it.
Hi Jack,
I am new to the Tilt. How do I get to "File Explorer" ? I dont see it on the menu when I open either the "setting" or "programs" ?
BTW, when I run the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, do I also need to run the Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 again ? what's the right sequence ?
Thx
RESET
Hi Jack:
Is the rest pwer+camera+ "navigation" at the same time to get Tri-colour ?
if NOT, which three at the same time can "reset" ?
Thx
Ok, big chance Im getting flamed here, Ill take my chances
I have been reading a lot of info here which is really great!
However, everytime, I bump into the Hard-spl term... (You should hard-spl before using roms etc)
So, being a noob, i started searching for info on hard-spl. There are several threads related to it, but really: None of them explains what it is! (In plain english then of course) .. Yes, there is a wiki... lemme copy paste the info on the wiki:
FAQ: What is HardSPL?
a custom G4 SPL patched by Olipro which let your device think it has SuperCID (aka CID unlocked)
What is difference between Hard and Soft SPL?
Soft SPL is temporary, this solution is semi-permanent, it will be removed by flashing an original G4 SPL using SoftSPL. Read on for a complete tutorial on how to remove HardSPL.
If you use HardSPL, you don't need a separate loader in the future, just use the RUU provided in the ROM package.
Can I use it for other devices than for a G4 wizard?
This is for G4 Users ONLY, Use at your own risk!
You can use it for another device if you want to have a shiny new BRICK.

Well, sorry guys, but that really explains a lot!! Now it all clear!! (being sarcastic now)
So, my device has supercid... So clicked SuperCid on the WIKI gives me:

Now, this info is very usefull of course, if you are 1 of the 10 kind of people who can read binary
Anyway, searching on in my quest for: This is what SPL is, and what it does etc, i have found a lot of threads, pointing people to other threads, and flaming them by saying: Look here, you should read this, you are stupid, whatever... Example: Read the complete n00bGuide!! Did that.. lesson 1, lesson 2, it stops there... No explanation on what HardSPL actually is or does.. only: you need it to not brick your device.
So, finally, after writing this enormeous story (sorry for that, just a "little" background info), my question:
What IS hardSPL, what does it? Why do you need it? And all these anwers please: write them in plain noob-english.. I have read all other technical parts i think...
(Think this is a stupid question? Read the entire post, and search for yourself!)
All I want is a nice ROM on my HTC Touch Cruise....
Regards, and thanks for your patience
MoronNL...
If you want a complete noob answer... here you go
Hard-SPL is an "App" you need to load on your device to change it's "behavior".
Hard-SPL is needed to replace roms. your device is "locked" to other roms if it isn't Hard-SPL'd.
If you want to flash a new rom to your polaris, you need to take the file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351964
connect your device to your comp and sync it with Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center (you don't have to sync your info.. just make sure your device is recognized).
after connecting your device, extract the zip file from the thread i just gave you a link to, to a dir on your comp. run the file "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and follow the instructions.
READ what olipro wrote in the post before continuing!
after you're done hard-spling... you will be able to perform the EXACT same action with a rom instead of Hard-SPL.
Hard-SPL needs to be performed only ONCE. after that you can flash roms endlessly.
if you have any questions, you can PM me or anyone of the Q&A team members (our names are posted in a STICKY thread in this section).
p.s. if the hard-spl didn't work at first... and got stuck or something.. don't beat yourself over the head... but try again.
Nir,
Thanks for your quick reply! Its indeed more clear with your answer. If i understand your post correctly, and all info found about it, I would summarize it as follows, and please correct me if I am wrong:
Every phone (wether simlocked or not) has some hardcoded ID (CID) in the ROM (flash chip actually, to prevent misunderstandings with ROMS and ReadOnlyMemory). This ID is somehow linked to the OS software that is able to run on it.
So, in order to use homebrew cooked ROM's, your phone needs to accept that, which is impossible if it does not match the ID of your phone.
By HardSPL (what does SPL stand for btw?) you change this ID to another ID, which allows all (os)-software to run on it.
Is this in a few lines what SPL is/does? And, if I ran hard-SPL, can I still use the RUU from htc themselves?
If Im correct with my conclusion, maybe its good to add this somewhere in the NoobGuide
First of all, to get the exact information about what Hard-SPL is i'd suggest you read the wiki deeply and go and read olipro's thread to get aquainted with the subject.
secondly, as you declare you are noob to the issue, i'd suggest that before going from original rom to the Diamond interface you go through some steps such as flashing basic roms with basic interfaces.. you can flash KhanX's Touch Navia 1.5 which I can testify to be a VERY stable and well built rom.
here's the M2D Cab for you to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
if you want to have M2D as part of a rom, just flash the rom i told you about:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420996
(flash the PRO version as it has M2D. i'm using the lite version)
enjoy.
The diamond interface requires you install a cab and work your way through lots of reading and understanding it's problems. the TouchFLO3D - that is, the diamond's interface is not yet ready to use without consequences. leave it alone for now.
you can use TouchFLO2D... which is now very stable and has LOADS of ways to be configured using 3rd party apps. (you can find EVERYTHING you need on TouchFLO2D, AKA Manila2D, AKA M2D in the Development and Hacking section of the forum.
Basically what hard spl does is tell your device that if there is a bad flash it needs to revert to the bootloader.
PS i liked the "1 in 10" joke... i think i may have laughed so hard i left part of my lung on the floor

ha ha ha.... ffffaaaarrrrtttt/follow through...........
Well, i've flashed the X50v and HTC Touch Elfin before, however I seem to be having some problems with the Wizard. I'm trying different ROMS and none seem to be working. Once a flash appeared to go through correctly, and the splash screen at startup was changed, but it still booted into WM5.
Now even though it is CID unlocked, it says that the RUU is out of date and won't update the phone.
IPL is 2.21.0001
SPL is 2.21.0001
have you downloaded and flashed with Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2 first if not then do. using the SoftSPL-V0.1 just extract then copy over the nk.nbf file after which do the same for the wm6 rom you wish to use. i advice using the TNT.20273_Professional_Wizard_HTC_Home_FREE rom or the TNT.20273 Professional Wizard rom. either are good roms.
i have the same phone and it worked a treat

How do you confirm its CID unlocked,as G4 device cannot be CID unlocked and with its present IPL/SPL it isn't even HardSPL ?
A G4 phone can only be upgraded to wm6,either through SoftSPL or HardSPL,you can read about them in the G4 sub forum posted as stickies.
Thanks for the help guys, for some reason the hardSPL wasn't working, but now I have 6.1 on my phone! I have another problem, however which I'm going to create another thread for later today, here it is if anyone see's this:
Since upgrading to Winmo6.1, my keyboard layout has been broken. I have an O2XDA MiniS, so it's a UK phone.
Here's the layout I should get:
QWERTYUIOP
ASDFGHJKL (Del)
(cap)ZXCVBNM(up)(Enter)
(Dot)(Tab)(Windows)(Ok)(Space)(period)(left)(down)(Right)
And with dot-shift (Don't know the actual term)
1234567890
[email protected]#$%&*() (Del)
(cap) - _ € £ + = ; : (enter)
(dot) ~ (Win) " (sym what does this do?) , ' / ?
This is what I Get
QWERTY is exactly the same, its the symbols with Dot-Shift that have changed
123456790
[email protected]#$%&() (del)
(cap) ` -_+ = * ; : (Enter)
(dot) (Tab[Should be ~]) (win) " , ' / ?
I have tried the Et9 cab file which didn't seem to do anything, let alone work.
There was a post I saw which had a link to a rapidshare file which has now expired.
Some people have tried registry settings, that hasn't worked for me.
I've spent the last hour searching, this keyboard means a lot to me.
I bought this phone for my girlfriend but ended up keeping it since I love the keyboard, sometimes do Python scripting on the go, editing word docs + email browsing is easier. So she now has my Touch Elfin (which is newer)
So yeah, i'll pretty much copy + Paste that into a new topic if this doesn't get any replies by say 8PM GMT?
I don't really like making hundreds of new topics for every little problem I Have. Otherwise there'd be one for Opera + Hardware buttons (Plus the internet button on HTC home screen)
one for it not staying in landscape mode when the keyboard is down, and one for my myriad of MiniSD card troubles
sorry forgot about this issue about the keyboard its simple to put it back to uk even if its a pain.
step 1 open regedit
step 2 open HKEY_CURRENT_USER
step 3 open ControlPanel
step 4 open Keybd
step 5 select Locale and change it from 0409 to 0809
and now everything should be in the right place
anything else feel free to ask
