If thats too complicated for you, see if you can manage this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom (works for Trinity as well)
If you have a dump, you can reconstruct it. Except for Extrom, don't overwrite it if you want to keep the files there original.
hi i just took delivery of my m700 on Monday and have flashed it 3 times since then( dopod then htc official one but picked the wrong one with no gps then the right one with gps) with no problems also unlocked sim and cid every time as i didn't know if it was still unlocked

HAS anyone uninstalled or overrided IMATE UPGRADE rom and reverted to original CINGULAR 8125 ROM? IF so, please list steps. I'm within 30 day period and don't want to send back with HTC and IMATE info and splash pages
Thanks
same here.. please help someone.. someone...
i had the same issue, and didnt find original, but for what its worth, exchanged my 8125 with no problem with i-mate rom.
good luck!
IF you can find someone with an SD backup (you shoulda made one when you started screwing around!) this is trivial to do.
Otherwise its somewhat of a PITA......
could you please outline the steps needed to accomplish this simply?
I am currently back at the cingular rom, but I could not restore the extended rom.
Basic rundown, After screwing around witht eh imate rom, decided to try to go back, found out I could not.
There is a particular issue with imate locking the extended rom, and problems running awizard and lokiwiz on a imate rom.
So, I went a round about way (suggested by someone else).
I used the tmobile uk rom (comes with same installer as teh iamte one), once that was installed, I ran awizard, which ran fine, and restored my cingular rom and splash screen (this is of course assuming you made a backup of the rom the first time around).
Only thing I cannot do, is restore the cingular extended rom.
Hi there, I've just received a "new" HTC Trinity from Vodafone Portugal and I've some doubts regarding it. The ROM version is pretty old (1.15.410.2) and I was wondering through the HTC support and they have a new generic ROM (portuguese ROM) with GPS enabled and other improvements.
So the risk of upgrading to this new ROM is practically null (is it?) since it is a ROM provided by the vendor, and afterwards I will have the GPS working, but the SIM will remain locked.
Then I can run the batch file provided by pof to unlock the ppc, and there it is : a GPS enabled Trinity that I can use in PT and UK.
Well, is this so linear or am I missing something?
thanks,
and cheers

download rom removes sim lock?!
if downloading the new rom resets all the settings from the vodafone operator, shouldn't also remove the SIM lock?
well, this might appear a dumb question but it make sense (at least to me )
thanks
1)
If your phone is a Vodaphone, and you install a HTC generic ROM on it, you may lose the benefit of your Vodaphone warranty.
But since your ROM version is so old, I guess it's a second hand phone, not a new one, so your Warranty period has probably already expired.
In this case, you have nothing to lose.
2)
Flashing a new ROM on your phone doesn't make it a sim unlocked phone.
Besides, if there is SPL/IPL on that so called generic HTC ROM, you may not be able to flash it onto your phone, unless you CID unlock it.
Hard SPL is a wise option, search on the forum, you'll find everything for SIM and CID unlock.
Thanks for the reply.
I've already seen how to unlock the SIM/CID.
I'm gonna try the upgrade to Hard-SPL. If I'm successful then i can change to a recent cooked ROM.
thanks,
i'll let you know if I bricked my ppc
hope not!
cheers
Well I've managed to update the bootloader to SPL 1.20 and the Radio ROM. Now I can see the radio version on the settings panel.
These tools are really something, I didn't have any problem flashing the ROM !!!
Next step is to upgrade to a new ROM, but :
1) Can I use any ROM available (independently of the CID)?
2) Are there any cooked ROMs with GPS software?
3) Is the WM6 a must have, or is it more or less like WM5 with some extra eye
candy and extra overhead ?
4) Can I SIM unlock the phone with the pof tool with the SPL bootloader?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Mouro
I also have a P3600 in Portugal. In the begining I also installed the htc rom from vodafone to enable gps.
I think you have to unlock the phone cid (instal super cid) in order to be possible the installationn of any coocked rom.
I´m sure that all the coocked roms have gps enabled.
WM6 has some advantages, especially the htc task manager and maybe a bit more speed... but I think the advantages are not that much when compared with WM5. Anyway, it´s the latest version and we always consider that important...
Yes, you can use the tools provided by pof to unlock the phone.
Mine is working fine and very stable.
Nothing to complaint about.
Best regards
hey nj05
thanks for your reply
I think I'm gonna give it a try.
before installing the HARD SPL I was a little scared because after all, this is an expensive toy but now after seeing all the positive feedback I'm gonna give it a try.
Tomorrow I'll post here the results.
best regards
cheers

all rigth baby
well,
finally I have my ppc unblocked with an original ROM from HTC with everything running smooth!!!
Thanks to everybody!
keep up the good hacking work!
cheers
At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.
I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly until I got a hardware problem (radio) . This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.
Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline
At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?
Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?
Thanx a lot.
have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.
I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.
and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl
With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.
Too bad It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.
Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.
Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened??
It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.
Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.
Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.
Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?
I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.
Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?
Thank you in advance.
Hallo HSN,
if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.
Hey Chaps,
Just thought earlier today i'd have a go at upgrading my phone with the new HTC firmware for my Vodafone Kaiser. First i tried it on it's own only to find the 'vendor' had blocked the upgrade, then i ran the HARDSPL software, when it rebooted my phone to the tri-colour screen i stopped pressing enter on the batch file and ran the HTC upgrade again! ... success - sort of; the upgrade got to 15% and stopped with a connection error (my usb's dodgy i think), then when the phone rebooted to the tri-colour boot loader it'd a) no longer accept the HTC Rom (vendor thing again) and b) become irritatingly broken.
Is it possible to flash an older vodafone rom to the device? if so, where can i find such a beast. Or does anyone know of any devilish ways to put the new rom on using the bog standard bootloader?
Thanks in advance big time to any clever phone experts who can de-brick my... er... brick
Dan.
your supposed to install hardspl before upgrading it if you try it on its own it will brick it at least thats what i heard from the stickies
azazelx, he has hardSPL installed, anyway.
@JimmyJangle: flash via microSD card. [url="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserSDFlash" URL]Read here.[/url]
You need winrar to extract file nbh from the shipped ROM.exe.
Hmm, i don't think i do have HardSPL actually installed,
When i saw the tricolour screen come up with different version information I stopped that batch file that was installing HARDSPL (impatiently) and started the HTC one (which failed at 15%). So now i (think) i have a phone with no firmware and the bootloader says:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD=8
I reckon if i can find a vodafone made rom the bootloader'll let me install it.
Any idea where i could find one?
What is ur orginal shipped ROM?
Your solution now is flash back the orginal ROM by using microSD card method I mentioned above, install HardSPL succesfully, then flash whatever ROM you prefer.
Hey Nghiem,
Thanks for the help, that link doesn't go anywhere though.
Also, wouldn't i need the original rom from somewhere in order to do that?
Thanks,
Dan
where did you buy the phone e.g vodafone, orange, etc...so I can tell you the original ROM? Because you phone CID is not unlock, hence you must flash the back the shippied one.
Get the WM 6.1 Vodaphone official here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365058
Hi,
I got the phone from Vodafone in the UK.
It had WM5 on it... erm, that's it.
I've just beem trying to load original voda roms back on to it but it's not happy - i don't know if they really are the originals though, one says 'reconstructed'.
Dan
Actually, that was the rom i tried and it came up with the Vendor ID error.
Dan.
Link on post #6 is the official not reconstructed. How about download directly from Vodafone website? It's strange when you have carrier ID block even with its ROM. Also, try reconstructed ROM listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2
Search for mtty, see if it can help you out.
MTTY saved the day!
Only 3 hours of my life lost!
Thanks,
Dan
Cheers. Don't forget to flash HardSPL and read the wiki before doing anything.

There is no STOCK rogers rom for the Diamond. Flash the one noted above, it is a COPY of the stock rom, extracted from a stock Rogers Diamond. It does not contain the SPL for Boot splash, other than that it IS a stock ROM.
