Hi,
Im trying to upgrade my uk mda compact to one of the lastest roms, with no luck!
I have been trying for days now, feel like ripping my hair out!
ive tryed lots of different roms, all with the same error, Error 150, it says the utility was not designed for my device
ive been using MaUpgradeUt_noID, and putting the pda in bootmode
please help what am i doing wronge?
I've had the same problem..
Maybe a 'byte copy' from the original to the new rom has to be performed?
Can anyone confirm this?
Already done the BigStorage but not really sure of the benefit of the latest one (i still have the original shipped one).
Its pretty easy, will be doing it on Monday, if you guys are in the UK perhaps we can get on IM or something and I'll walk you through it.
Before then, please make a backup of your original rom usint the d2s procedure, you will need it should you ever return your MDA under warranty.

What I did was to disable activesync.
I then put the MDA into bootloader whilst disconnected from the PC. The bootloader should say Serial.
If you then plug it into the PC, the screen should change to USB.
Let the PC find the device and say that the hardware is ready for use.
Now run the upgrade_noid.exe program and it should work.

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).

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?

Hi All,
I need an Italian Official VOX ROM or instruction how-to flash unsigned ROM.
Please note that I have flashed a wrong ROM and Activesync does not work, I can access only though bootloader.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Here is something you could try : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
Try naming the VOXIMG.nbh instead of HERMIMG.nbh.
but I really don't know if this can work. most likely not in fact since I haven't seen it described for the vox on these forums..
Sorry I have really no experience in bricked devices. Well I bricked mine several times but usb connection still worked through bootloader, so I could start ruu updater when in bootloader mode and it worked fine.
I have bricked my Vox making custom roms, but have found that even though i can get into the bootloader and run up the RUU updater, every time i go to flash a rom i get errors saying wrong VendorID etc... this is because the rom i flashed had different ID's to the original HTC ROMS. Maybe you are signing them different to me?
Please help!
Hi Doctor,
it does not work with VOX.

i`ve made the same mistake (flashed a ROM cooked by me) ... but prior to flash my phone i was lucky enough to use USPL 1.16 to permanently flash my SPL to 1.16 (i`ve used both archives Vox USPL-CID BYPASS.zip and Vox-USPL-RUU.zip) instead of 1.27 (original, vendor locked).
On the XDA ftp is a italian ROM if i`m not mistaking, did you try it ?
try this ... i`m not sure it will work.
Make sure you have disabled the USB connection in ActiveSync:
File --> Connection settings --> uncheck "allow USB connections"
1. get into booloader mode
2. connect with mtty
3. write password BsaD5SeoA
4. try to run the USPL 1.16 now ... (i`m just guessing)
if it doens`t work reset the phone and repeat step 1. and 2. and continue with:
3. write password BsaD5SeoA after that ruurun 0
4. try to run the USPL 1.16 now ... (i`m just guessing)
alternatively instead of USPL you can try to run the italian rom from the ftp.
i`ve managed to save my phone doing steps 1, 2, and 3 (not sure which one worked) from above and then flashed with ARA ROM ... but keep in mind my SPL was 1.16.
hope this helps
I'm italian could I help you...
Hi i'm italian and i'm totally nwe on those things...eheheh i haven't yet underrstand what those cooked roms are..but I have an italian s710 with the original rom...with some software on it..If i could help.... let me know..maybe send me a PM or a mail through the forum mail system..
ciao ciao fammi sapere
bye bye just let'me know
with TheBo`s help the problem is almost solved :d
My intention was just to ask if a backup of my original HTC VOX (unbranded) could help...sorry...next time I will not do the same mistake.
SPL
Hi,
unfortunately this does not help because my VOX is CID locked “g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = FF” and Activesync does not work, for this reason I’m not able to flash any unsigned rom.
My SPL is 1.27.
I have tried to flash 1.16 but the procedure does not work.
It is a way to CID unlock my VOX from bootloader?
Can anyone cook a signed Italian ROM?
Thanks.
maybe TheBo`s ROM will work for you
Nop,
it does not help until my VOX is unlocked...

if the Vendor ID is the same it will work
my Y! ID is maxtry80, TheBo and alllof contact me there, maybe i can help you
If you would to help us you can try to cook a signed rom from the dump in ftp://xda:[email protected]/Vox/ (file name: s710 rom 1.15.408.2 (italian + uk eng + us eng).rar) or give to us instructions how to do it.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.
i`ll try to help you ... i`ll be back in couple of hours with results
Thanks for your help!
check you pm!
did it work?
i tried the method posted a while back with no positive results .... yet
I was just wondering, i looked at the bootloader and it says Vox SPL 1.15 so this is the version i am using and it doesnt let me flash another vendor id rom...
VOX Briched.
Nop,
it does not work. I have sent my device to HTC...
Can you tell me how it works out?? I am hesitant to send mine to HTC (i had to import this phone) which will mean i have to pay heaps for shipping... and even then i dont expect them to replace it because the last rom i flashed had a different splash screen (silly me ) this will be obvious to them and therefore wont replace mine because i tampered with the rom.
I need to change the carrier rom of my SPV E650 to a wm6.1 ...and first i need to make a app unlock.
My problem is, that his mini-USB port is broken...and my only solution is via sd-card.....So my question is...can be done an app unlock via sd card? Please i need some help...i cant run haret on this wm6.0 carrier rom...and i want to do some test with my new fresh compiled kernel...i'm trying to boot debian on it(old version)
A broken USB is no problem as you can connect via BT to the PC. This allows haret to start once you have it app-unlocked. A recent thread here has shown however that Orange E650 app-unlocking seems not possible. Please follow up all the recommendations given in that thread.
If USB is broken I doubt you will suceed after that however.
thanks for the idea,I just tried, but sda unlock failed......forget about sda unlock,...
is there any way to make Haret application to run on orange carrier rom?
Hello guys,
I'm having trouble with my HTC 7 Pro.
Principially, I want to fully unlock my phone.
To do so, I wanted to install the HSPL. When I did that, I recognized that my current SPL is too high, 5.12.2258.0.
So, I tried do downgrade the SPL, but when I enter the bootloader, it doesn't tell me "serial" or "usb" any more....
I also did a hardreset, but nothing changed.
But do I have to do? Please help!
Thanks a lot!
Your device is half-brick. You have to install new SPL in service with JTag. At home you can't do that.

I see, but how exactly did that happen?
Is there any backup-method, that I can use get my messages, contacts and call-logs on another htc 7 pro?

This looks nice, thank you very much, I will try that.
Can somebody help me with finding the right files for my purpose?

i dont think you need a t-mobile ROM, all you need is just do to a gold card SPL bootloader downgrade to 1.22 and then flash any stock signed rom which you have here on the forum, just search for "htc 7 pro stock rom" after that you can do a rspl and then a hspl. after that a custom rom for htc 7 pro. i have the New Tech ROM from ansar which is Tango 8773. unlocked and very good. no problem with this rom. and the best is it stays unlocked even after a hard reset!
if you dont have cables for gold card method, try ansars htc SLSPL (Stock limited SPL) and after that stock rom for htc 7 pro - rspl - hspl - custom rom there is a tutorial for this here on the forum just search for ansar SLSPL htc or something like that.
i think the gold card method is the easiest, i've done it several times, even after i flashed an rom to SPL (without rspl - hspl) and bricked my device! only the gold card method helped me out there. no i have HSPL 1.22 an Tango 8773 and all working.
Thank you guys for the answers.
I managed to build my own Y-Cable. When I plug it into my running PC and my running 7 Pro, the battery is loading. So I think the cable itself should work.
I downloaded this rom "RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3 a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar" to downgrade SPL. Then I applied the goldcardmethod as "Budniu" explained it in his video. One Problem in that context could be that I only found a 2GB SanDisk-MicroSD-Card.
Anyway, when I first entered the USB-Hostmode for the first three or four times, nothing happened. After unpluggin the card several times, the 7 Pro finally showed "Loading", then "checking" and in the end "not allow".
What do I do wrong? Is it the wrong ROM or do I have to have a 1GB SD-Card?
Please help me!
Kindest regards!
