[36 ROMs]Windows Phone 7 Unbranded ROMs for Spark, To Be Re-Designed, by ansar.

Dear forum members,
Due to the status of current development, i hope good news for all, the thread will be re-designed.
Regards, ansar.

Hi and happy new year!
After unbranding, did you try to update with an official rom .exe and did it work?
I unbranded using a Y cable and I tried just to see if it works but I got "Invalid vendor ID" again. Strange!?
I think I will always use a Y cable and a gold card to update!?
Thank you for your reply

Hi,
The 2 roms B.1 and B.2 can be used to unbrand your device if your device is branded to the Vodafone_ELL operator.
This means that you can successfully flash the B.a rom before proceeding to unbranding.
After unbranding you can go back to the initial operator Vodafone_ELL by flashing the B.a rom.
Regards, ansar.

Thanks! Do you by any chance know how I can find what kind of VODA-something my phone is? (for future use?)

Yes U are right, but I am in Belgium, and I lost my warranty changing the SD card with 16GB, and I will keep making changes anyway.

Hello, is possible to unbrand a vodafone espain trophy?
Thanks

I have the Vodafone UK version of the HTC Trophy and tried to unbrand it as per the Unbranding the Spark Vodafone_UK operator instructions. I can install the RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.07.161.04_Radio_5.50.09.15 U_by_ansar without issue through bootloader mode.
I move onto the next stage to install HTC_Asia, RUU_Spark_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.09.707.07_Spark_5.50.09.1 5U_Signed_by_ansar but I repeatedly get the invalid vender ID, again installing by the bootoader method.
My phone 'About' info now reads as follows:
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.10704.161
Hardware revision number: 0003
Radio software version: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 1.7.2250.4(109106)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
Before the flash it read:
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.10906.162
Hardware revision number: 0003
Radio software version: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 1.9.2250.6(111329)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
Obviously there is a difference now.
My bootloader screen now reads as follows:
PC40100 SS-BC (4K)
SPL-1.7.2250.4(109106)
MicroP(LED) 0x09
TOUCH A1(v10,20)
SD SANDISK 7580MB Class4
Partition Info-v211v413
Which again is different to the original.
There is obviously an issue with the Asia ROM, could you please advise as to what to try next, thanks.

ERROR 260
Sorry folks, but when I'm trying to flash my HTC TROPHY, I always get an ERROR 260. What can I do?
THX

GREEK ROM
Ok. I found the solution on my own. I didn't know how to perform a hard reset and go into bootloader mode. Anyway, do you know when a greek rom will be released, with file access and bluetooth pairing with other devices?
Thx

Downgrading ???

What is needed to downgrade from NoDo to 7004 or 7008?
I have no idea where the phone was imported from anyway of telling?
I am sure its just a unbranded HTC HD7 as it has no telco branding and also has
a Green HTC theme.
OS version 7.0.7392.0
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.707
Hardware revision: 0002
Radio software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootlaoder version: 1.69.2250.0(117833)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

So I take it this is the ROM RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.0 9.21_22.33b.50.10U I am on??
and I can Downgrade to either of these ROM's correct?
1. RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.23.707.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
2. RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

[Q] I need some serious help to downgrade a branded 7 Pro SPL phone

Hi guys. I have a swisscom branded T7576. Here are the specs:
HTC 7 Pro T7576
SO: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 2250.21.51101.166
Hardware Revision: 002
Radio (sw): 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio (hw): A.102.0.D4
SPL: 5.11.2250.0(134400) MNG
SOC chip: 2.2.5.0
So... after some search and too much reading i ended up trying to flash ansar's rom "RUU_Gold_7Pro_Europe_5.10.401.03_SLSPL_by_ansar" to be able to downgrade my SPL and install RSPL/HSPL by DFT. The problem is that i'm getting the famous 294 error (invalid vendor ID aka CID lock error).
Can anybody help me out? I want to debrand and be able to flash custom rom's on this phone.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Draco

With a little more reading is the radio hw version A.102.0.D4 from O2?
If so, wich rom should i flash to downgrade SPL?
Please help me.
Thank you very much.
Cheers,
Draco

Come on guys, help me out on this one. Any SLSPL rom wich i can flash? The one provided by ansar doesn't flash since it's Europe branded. I need to sideload a XML for camera translation settings. While i'm on 5.x SPL i won't be able to unlock my phone. Any sugestion will be appreciated.
Cheers,
Draco

Thank you Budniu. Can you confirm if, with this GoldCard method, i can flash a Europe branded rom on a Swisscom branded phone? I just don't want to brick my phone. Following ansar instruction i get confused on ID of the rom i have. Apparently Swisscom is code 166 and i'm not sure wich rom should i flash to downgrade my SPL.
Thank you very much.
Draco

Hmmm I don't know does you can downgrade SPL in branded device and not to damage the branded phone. If you want, you have to try but only for YOUR RISK.
For device from Orange in Polish that method work fine (my friend tried on Mozart).

i do not know of any swisscom Shipped ROM...
you might try contacting Football asking.
what you will want is a NoDo Shipped ROM.
you will need to flash that ROM with the Goldcard method in order to downgrade.
basically, what you are looking for is a 7 Pro Shipped ROM with x.xx.166.xx
you currently have ROM 5.11.166.01
sorry that i can't be of more help, atm.
