This is a very complicated process, so my friend Sicko decided to write a guide
The 100% step by step guide to fix this is posted on my site (do not copy here please)
How-to: Flash Orange SPV e650 with RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship .exe HTC S710 firmware
special thanks to the people here at the forum for providing some of the files,.. some other files came from modaco...
Perfect guide and clear instruction ,
Thanks.
hello
The Unbranding and unlocking section is only for spv e650 phone?
because i have a 'sfr s710' branded one (french concurent of orange)
thanks
benefits from doing it?
maybe a strange question to those who already have done it, but what are the benefits from moving to s710 firmware ? Does it work fast enough ? I have not seen s710 in action, co what are the main differences ?

No the unbranding is needed for every HTC S710 that is sold under a different name. So in your case you would have to unbrand the phone as well.

The benefits from moving from SPV e650 (orange) firmware to HTC firmware is that the phone will become much more stable. A LOT of issues have been resolved in this firmware and you will also enjoy a longer battery time amongst other things.
Also, Orange is not very fast in updating the firmware, so you would also benefit from not having to wait 6 months before you can download the firmware from the Orange site.
The final benefit would be that you have an Orange SPV phone (like me) but do not have a contract with Orange but with another provider. Then you cannot download the firmware updates from the Orange website. Which is why I went through all this trouble in the first place
yes .. workkk!!!

I downloaded all the files and started the flashing and every thing was fine... At step 8, I followed some instructions but I didn't understand what to do when asked "excute spl now". So I just click any key to continue...then when excuting the ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the Vox-USPL-RUU.zip files, an error 270 occurs (with the message: "the image file is corrupted. please check your Update utility")
Is this error because of the step 8 (execute spl now)? Does any one has experience? elese, is the any other valid rom image?
thanks in advance
Guys can someone give me the valid place to read the guide to flash my E650?

I have just bought Orange SPV E650 and want it as HTC S710. and unlocked, because i'm on O2.
Well, the link above doesnt work.
I think i found a google-cache of that page here and it didnt work all the way to the end. Quoting it here just in case:
===========================
How-to: Flash Orange SPV e650 with RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe HTC S710 firmware
This guide will do a step-by-step approach to successfully flashing your Orange SPV with the latest HTC S710 firmware upgrade (aka fixing the Invalid Vendor ID problem).
You need to have Winzip and ActiveSync installed to complete this guide.
IMPORTANT: Please follow each step (even if you think it's obsolete) or it will not work.The risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
Reset phone to factory defaults:
Resetting your phone to factory defaults will DELETE ALL contacts information, calendar etc etc. Make sure you have made a backup of this data before proceeding.
1. Make sure your phone is turned OFF.
2. Press and hold soft1 and soft2 keys. (The menu keys above the 1 and 3 keys)
3. Press and hold the power button for around 1 to 1.5 seconds. Then release the power button. But keep holding the soft1 and soft2 keys.
4. The phone boots and asks to press the Send key to restore to factory defaults. Keep the soft1 and soft2 keys pressed and press the Send key (the key with the green phone icon).
The phone will now reboot and will be now reset to factory defaults. This can take a while, be patient. Wait until the phone has fully restarted before proceeding with the next steps.
Unbranding and unlocking the phone
Now it is time to unlock the phone so it will run unsigned applications (which is needed for the actual firmware flashing)
1. Connect the e650 to your pc via active sync
2. Download MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack.PREP.CAB
3. Download MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack_0.5.CAB
4. Download RemoveSecurity.CAB
5. Copy all three CAB files to your phone.
6. Start explorer on your phone and run and install the MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack.PREP.CAB file
7. Next run and install the MoDaCo_SPV_E650_de_Brand___Fix_Pack_0.5.CAB file.
8. Reboot your phone
9. Once your phone is rebooted run and install RemoveSecurity.CAB
10. Reboot your phone.
11. Download SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip
12. Run the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe inside the zip file. You should get a message that your phone has been unlocked.
13. Reboot your phone
Flashing the phone
Now that you have de-branded and unlocked the phone we can start the update process.
1. Remove the SD card from your phone.
2. Connect the e650 to your pc via active sync
3. Download Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip
4. Download Vox-USPL-RUU.zip
5. Download RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe . This is the new firmware from HTC.
6. Right-click the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe and select extract to here using Winzip. The files should now unpack. Verify that there is a file called RUU_signed.nbh
7. Unzip Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip and start uspl_116_jockyw.bat
8. Follow the instructions until you see: now start a MTTY session or use RUU to flash any ROM message.
9. Unzip Vox-USPL-RUU.zip and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Click on Next twice. The application will now check your phone. Click on the Update button. Verify that you want to update the rom version:
from: image version 1.xx.xx.xx (could be anything)
to: image version vox-USPL <- this is important
10. Click on update and wait for the phone to be flashed. This can take a while.
11. The phone will reboot after flashing. Wait for the phone to reboot.
12. Start the uspl_116_jockyw.bat file again.
13. Follow the instructions until you see: now start a MTTY session or use RUU to flash any ROM message.
14. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh file you extracted from the RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.exe file and copy it to the folder containing the extracted files from the Vox-USPL-RUU.zip
15. Start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe you unzipped from the Vox-USPL-RUU.zip
16. Click next twice. The application will now check your phone. Verify that you want to update the rom version:
from: image version vox-USPL
to: image version 1.34.405.1 <- this is important
17. Hit update to update your phone.
Your phone should now flash the HTC firmware without any problems.
===============
Reset worked, unbranding worked partially - I dont know if security removal worked. Installed ok, but dont know if it worked. I can only say that past this point there is still a SIM lock. I cannot use my payg O2 card i use always. I have orange payg card which works, but i dont need it.
I run into problems on step 9 of flashing. It goes to 100% and drops an error (cant remember the number now). If i try to flash the full flash (steps 14-15) i get an error "[294] Invalid Vender ID". Thats pretty much it.
Can someone help me with this ?
Phone now is unbranded, interface changed, phone is working on Orange Payg card just fine. I want it in S710 flavor and without simlock.
Maybe there are some steps missing in this guide here ?
If someone experienced can help me i could provide all the data/versions of my phone here. Dont know what may be needed so wont post the whole lot of that crap.
HELP !!!
Ah-ha... One clarification, which makes sense now and how it helped me to finish reflashing. Inbetween steps 8 and 9 - AFTER YOU SEE THE "now start a MTTY session" MESSAGE DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT PRESS ANYTHING WHEN THE MESSAGE IS SHOWN. Then just minimize the window and continue to step 9. the file "uspl_116_jockyw.bat" must be running when you execute ROMUpdateUtility.exe extracted from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip. Voila...

I have make my update on vista but i dont use windows update on windows mobile.
If you have some trouble maybe you need to roolback the driver.

Thanx for making the guide!
Some additional comments:
-this procedure does NOT sim unlock your phone. For that contact your provider, or pay someone to do it.
-for some people/brands: you can start at step 11 (application unlock). THAT is the program you need to run the USPL!
the steps before are only necessary if application unlock doesn't work
(some can do with only running removesecurity before running application unlock and don't need debranding)
-step 1-4 to reset your phone is NOT needed, if you flash your phone it starts with the default startup of the ROM anyway
-that you loose the activesync is correct.
just run the rom updater and it will find your phone again
-sometimes the phone jumps out of the linux MTTY screen and resets. don't worry, that happens to many people. Just repeat the last step.
happy reflashing!
ps I can advice to install the WM6.1 v1.1 rom found here on XDA.
It is much faster and more stable then the HTC WM6 1.34 rom, and is based on official microsoft releases.
Hi All,
I have a Nokia Lumia 820 Developer device with a buggy and old firmware installed, here are the details:
Model: NOKIA id101
Carrier: Developper v3
Software: Windows Phone 8
RAM: 851
Screen resolution: 480:800
OS version: 8.0.9827.70
Firmware revision number: 1232.12.1235.5
Because this firmware is buggy I would like to update to a new firmware. For this I have installed the Nokia Care Suite and run the Nokia Product Support Tool 5.0 to get more device information, here it is:
Type Designator: RM-825
Model Name: Nokia Lumia XXX
Product Code: 059P710
Software Version: 1232.12.1235.5
Using this information I have downloaded the latest firmware from Nokia servers using NaviFirm+ 1.7. The only problem was that I couldn't find a firmware that matches my Product Code: 059P710.
The good news is that I have found another Nokia Lumia 820 Developer Device firmware version 1232.2110.1244.3002 but the Product Code is different than mine, it's 059R4L7.
Now, in order to install this new firmware I have followed these 2 steps:
1)Renamed the files from the firmware directory c:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-825\ by replaceing the new product code 059R4L7 with the code that my phone has 059P710.
2)Opened Nokia Product Support Tool 5.0 and begin the Refurbish procedure, this procedure will replace my old firmware 1232.12.1235.5 with the new firmware 1232.2110.1244.3002.
Things seem to work, my phone is restarted and moved to Flash Mode but then I get this error:
Refurbish Failed
Signed FFU programing operation has failed with error code: 1313819477
See the attached image: Lumia820_Refurbish_Error.png
Can someone please help?
Is there another way to put a new firmware on my phone?
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Mircea
I have to use Recovery for changing firmware with difer Product Code. Refurbish is only to able flash the firmware with same PC.
I have tried Recovery also but I still get an error:
Recovery Failed
Unable to get error message
See attached image: Lumia820_Recovery_Error.jpg
I think that Windows Phone 8 has secured the firmware update process and is now checking the Product Code just before it starts the firmware install.
Can you please help?
Did you change your firmware with one that has a diferent Product Code? If so, did you change it on a Windows Phone 8 device?
Please help!
Thanks

Hi I personally don't do "refurbish" method, but instead I use "recovery" with the phone turned off. Try it and I hope it won't kill your phone.
recovery mode
How do you put the phone in recovery mode?

Sent from my Lumia 820 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I have just updated my Lumia 820 product code 059Q8W4 (Vodafone DE).
I used Nokia Care Suite 5.0 2012.45.4.5 to flash the phone with RM-825 VAR EURO2 CH ORANGE BLACK (059R2S0) downloaded with NaviFirm+ v1.7
I used the "Recovery" mode in Product Support Tool for Store, to do the update.
I have not found any problems with the update jet. The restore of settings and app from the cloid was very smooth, only neede to redo my startscreen and setup wifi.

Which PC operating system you used and the NCS with which Settings?
I tried this also yesterday with the same firmware without success.
My Nokia Lumia 820 has not even automatically restarted to go into the boot loader.
Also press "On / Off - Volume Down" button does not work.
Addendum:
This day I tray again with this firmware (RM-825 VAR EURO2 CH ORANGE BLACK (059R2S0)) and look that, it works!!!
My Nokia Lumia 820 is now a half-official Orange Switzerland phone, hihihi.
First, is a good firmware with my 1wish/hope: "WLan let activ with activ lockscreen"!!! :good:
Also its true, the 4G is not aviable, but will be updating later with a new firmware for sure.
Cool!!! Testing more this firmware, but till now not bad. :highfive: :good:
Hello all,
I have my Lumia 820 now since 4 weeks and I tried to read all about flashing a new Firmware, like the topics in Lumia 900 and Lumia 920 Section.
I came from the HD2 and I know few things about flashing, but Nokia is new for me.
My Device has at the moment the Firmware 1232.2109.1242.1002
I found out that available for me is: 1232.5951.1249.1004
The name is: 059Q9G6 RM-825_TMO_DE_VAR259454_12491_001_Black_v2_Default
I think the file should fit all my requirements (German T-Mobile Device).
My question now is, how can I backup my old Firmware, because in NCS I can’t find it and it seems that my old one is not available online.. I found some Tuts for flashing the device, I backuped all Settings in my Live-ID online. How can I restore after flashing the new Firmware?
There is also a Developer Firmware available, any improvements for me flashing this?
My device is not unlocked, will it be after flashing?
Maybe someone can help me trying to explain the most points I need to pay attention to so I don’t brick my device.
Thanks
Have you found a solution to your problem as I have exactly the same issue and got stuck. Thanks

whats in a developer firmware? if u compare to a regular one?
Any updates on this thread? because i have also a dev firmware. I need to fix this before i sell this phone.
Ive chang me Digitizer as the previos cracked it worked without problems untill i updated to Amber, i have the previous Rom but i cant get it to any mode where NCS recognizes a connection is there away to put the phone into a Download mode? Ive tried also but nothing will recognoze it.
TO DELETE
Solution for Touch not working after Amber update
When your touch screen is not responding after updating to Amber (&GDR2) it is likely due to a non-original digitizer.
You have probably changed your digitizer after it cracked, right?
Non original digitizers directly from Nokia or trusted resellers do not work!
There is no solution other than finding an original digitizer and swap it with the cheap china version, you installed.
Then everything works as it should.
Hi,
I got the Huawei Ascend G525 as a gift from brother in law living in china, and now I am in a bind that it does not have the google play, i installed it using the apk file for google play but the whole UI is in Chinese settings , and the usual Chinese OS version issues for english user >_< , I managed to find and download German firmware (sorry forgot the link to post where it was) and tried to install it but the update failed. Further research led me to believe that i have to unlock its bootloader and I tried to use the method on huawei site (using adb toolkit) but for that i need bootloader unlock key and the site options to get key from huawei does not have G525 in list, so I am back to square one, Please let me know how i can unlock bootloader of Huawei G525 and if there is a new firmware I can use or something like flashing phone rom with Odin (I did flash my galaxy tab 2.0 with odin with new UK firmware)
The Android version is 4.1.2
and firmware file name, i download is Ascend_G525_firmwareú G525-U00,Android 4.1,Emotion_UI,G525-U00 V100R001C00B188,West_Europe
my mobile current firmware is G525-U00V100R001CHNC00B180
Please any help will be useful.

If you tell me the block name of recovery I will make backup for you
Until I´m not 100% sure which block it is I will not replace stock recovery against cwmr.

I don't know how to determine the block name my handset's recovery... how do I know that? Thanks...
my fear is, that we both have problems for flashing.
The unlock code for the bootloader you can get from huawei directly.
I tried this on my European version, but this will not be offered from Huwaei ( only chinese versions).
So I´m still not able to flash chinese Rom (b191) or any other Miui or Lewa Rom ,...
I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?
Late reply and updates
Hi,
Sorry for not following post, (i think i accidently turned off the option to inform me of new replies via email)
I tried emailing to both the german support email and the chinese, chinese support email gave me no reply even though i mailed them 3 times, but german one did and said that my phone is from china so they can't provide any support,
I tried to talk to them on facebook and local Huawei support center, facebook, no help, though someone else was willing to him and thanks to him poiting to way how to install english super use i am able to see almost all system messages in english, and as for the local support, since its not launched here they said they can't do anything,
The problem at hand was that it was not launched any where else, so no english version firmware i could find,
I almost bricked phone when i played with the "sorry forgot name" sytem file where it said to include the contact mismatch to 10 so that i can see the contacts name in the messages (its from china so least match is 11) and thanks to my luck i was able to upgrade firmware to b191 from b180 on 3rd try and since then i am scary cat to do anything with phone,
and now i read that its being launched in UAE, so looking forward if they put new firmware download on english website, (hoping they dont wait for an update to put it on website and put the current stock one)
please update me if you can get your hands on new english firmware , ty

I also confirm the lack of bootloader unlock request in Huawei's website.
What did you do to get the bootloader unlock code? Did you send an e-mail? Where?
I also find myself in a dead end, because I try to get a backup of the current ROM in the phone, connect succesfully through adb (downloaded drivers from here ) however following instructions from here:I can not connect the device with "fastboot devices" (i get to Huawei Device devices in windows device manager with yellow exlamation mark and the phone has been booted in a pink background, i think this is the bootloader mode because I have done it with all three buttons, power, vol+, vol-). Do you think this is a locked bootloader problem?

I send a short Email to [email protected] asking for the unlock code on saturday 7-12-2013.
Dear sir/madam,
I tried applying for a bootloader unlock code at unlock url which I cannot post because of XDA forum restricting me, but my device (Ascend G525) was not listed. I supply the data via this mail in the hope to get a bootloader unlock code via this way instead.
Product Model: Huawei Ascend G525
SN: ****************
IMEI: ****************
ProductID: ****************
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely,

That's the good news, the bad news is that as far as connecting to my device I got as far as you got. As I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64bit I added the usb rule needed for Huawei devices. It shows up when I execute "./adb devices". When I boot into hboot/fastboot mode by pressing the volume buttons and the on button I get the pink screen, but it does not show up when I run "./fastboot devices".
Anybody who knows how I can get fastboot to connect to a Huawei G525?

My bad, I thought I was starting the device in fastboot mode, but the pink screen denotes the download mode. I looked up the instructions to start the device into fastboot mode at sigmakey[dot]com. The complete list of steps that I followed were
Remove battery for >= 10 seconds
replace the battery
hold volume down and power button
when the screen locks on the Huawei logo you're in fastboot mode
connect the device via USB
run:" fastboot devices" and see if it's listed
run: "fastboot oem unlock [unlockcode]"
HUAWEI ASCEND G525 bootlock?
Got my phone 6 days ago. Rooted it.
Third day I messed it up by deleting languages (stupid, but selected them with a cleaner & removal tool).
I formatted a micro sd card, downloaded original firmware, started up in the installation mode but while busy unpacking, "installation failed".
Is it because of a bootlock? or is it something else.
Is there an boot unlocker for download for the G525? The phone doesn't start up, so I can only work out of the boot menu or sd card.
All tips are welcome.
try again

Where did you buy your phone from? Mine is from china , the bootunlocker is required to install custom rom (what i came to conclusion, from forums etc, corrsct me if it isn't the case), or rom other than compatible one, my has CHN in its firmware name and the firmware from chinese sites can only be used to update chinese firmware, i wanted to install the german firware for google play(now i achv through apk) and msg and phone number string match(Still found no soluton for it).
Now coming to your issue, i accidently deleted a system file too and phone won't start, so i downloaded firmware , copied the update folder as instructed in the pdf with it, but installation failed, being desperate, i tried again and again , and it would fail some point during extraction, but then on 6th or 7th attempt the file went threw, so either take your phone to support center best solution i would say, or try installing it a few times, try using a different sd card with better speed, but sorry cannot give a conclusive solution. ( Haven't messed with phone again )

Thanks!!!
I live - and bought mine - in Holland (the Netherlands).
I downloaded firmware too but when in download mode and with SD card in, the update stops ("Update failed").
How did your rom/firmware come trough? By updating from sd card or by downloading update directly from sd card?
Which firmware or rom did you download?
Ask Huawei support center
Hi,
First is there no support center for Huawei in your area ? In my case i got the mobile as gift from china and since this model G525 is not launched in my country, the support center refused on any support regarding firmware, so i went to chinese site http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/ and got the firmware from there, my previous firmware was B180 and then i updated it to B191 (currently available on china site).
Second where did you download the firmware from ? Because when i was trying to install the firmware from europe or us etc, (main reason the contacts least string match issue) , i could not find any firmware file on those sites, i went through all the sites, I even emailed german support , and they refused that they don't have any firmware, duh, because my mobile IMEI was not in their data base , (no ****), i do manage to find one posted by someone while going throw forums, but it failed to install, which lead me to believe i need bootunlock code
As for the update is concerned, I am not sure what are you asking about updating from SD card or downloading from SD card ? The only method Huawei G525 have is to download file to computer, extract it, put the update folder in the formatted sd card and then start the phone with volume keys so it start downloading file from sd card and then update firmware. Even the option from the settings to update firmware requires the same, just that , phone start itself in download mode and start the same process.
Like i said i don't have a specific answer why the update is failing, but most probably because the firmware you are trying to install does not support the current you have, I don't know why the hell they would put a restriction in update package to lock down it with previous firmware region. Since you might not know which firmware you previously had the new one might not support the old version, like B191 requires to have B182 or higher version, (wtf) mine came with B180, and there is no B182 or higher available for download, so it could be your phone has old firmware, not supported by current, so all i can say is better take it to customer service, and ask them for help,
and the method i mentioned is was just hit and trial, i was just desperate, so i kept phone pushing to update it.
Let me know if you find any better solution or how to install other firmwares

Can you send it personally ?, from telegram or anything because my phone is also having the same problem
is there any update here? i encounter same problem.
The easiest way is to head towards the service center, they flash the original ROM for Indian Rupees 180 ($2 approx). Realme download tool needs username & password which is not available anywhere on the internet...
You can ask for flash your online, there are many different online services available to flash realme phones. They are remotely connect to your pc via tv (team viewer) and they log in with there user name & password and flash your phone. They charge you around 150 Indian rupees, not give more money than 200 Indian rupees.
Note: It is important to first gain full information about the person who going to flash your phone online and they also ask you to pay first.
Sorry for bad english, thanks!
