try downloading the kitchen in my sig, and use the tool in the flashing folder.

Sorry, but I have to ask this... Is your phone a G3 or G4? You also aren't saying what you are trying to downgrade to. Is it teh Button ROM or something else?

The rom that is linked from Cingulars website to HTC's will not work on some versions of the G4 Wizards. Try using this RUU instead of the other RUU. Just replace the Rom update utility inside the folder you have put the nk.nbf file into.
Good luck!!

Upgraded radio to 1.46.00.11 but still showing 1.30.00.01 in device info.???

Hi,
I have upgraded my Orange SPV M700 (UK) shipped roms to the following:
SPL-1.30.Olipro
AX3L_OS v2.0.8.2
I may have mis-understood from the readme but I thought the updated radio was part of AX3L's rom update as when it completed everything was updated except the radio version (this still showed 1.30.00.01 in device info. the ROM shows 2.0.8.2).
So I updated just the Radio to version 1.46.00.11 and the flash process completed ok, however still it shows 1.30.00.01 in device information.....any idea how to fix this?
I followed the guides on
http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=31&Itemid=66
Apart from the radio not showing the correct version everything else is fine, GPS, etc. does work but I did notice it seemed to get very warm at the back of the handset (can't remember it doing this before the upgrades).
Thanks for any help.

hrdspl 1.30 desn't upgrae radio. Get flash witouth go in bootloader

So, are you saying start the radio rom upgrade without going into bootloader? Just want to confirm as the guides state otherwise...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316274 I download the radio here and upgraded only the radio. I got error text the first time i tried to flash but when phone go to bootloader flash,it again, works perfect!
here you find the 1.46.30.11 radio too

Yes. In that way you flash with sspl.

Thanks for both your replies, flashed ok and now updated with 1.46.30.11.
Cheers.

can i just re-emphasize that it's quite dangerous to flash radios without hard-spl, and not the kind of advice you want to be giving out on this forum. If you're so convinced it's the Hard-SPL, load a different hard-spl before you flash the radio.. SSPL isn't a good alternative as all it does it bypass CID check, not protect your device in case of a bad flash

Switch back to SPL-1.20.Olipro and you can flash radio roms.

yes, please follow the guides on the site, which now reflect the option of going back to old hard spl if 1.30 doesn't seem to be working.
it is not good advice to be handing out in the forum that people should flash radio without hard-spl. You guys are going to wind up responsible for a lot of noob bricks, and you're lucky you don't have one yourself

I've never received that error. What rom are you/they trying to flash?

Your SPL and IPL are too low. Please update using the official WM6 ROM first.
If you have HardSPL, then you may have just bricked the phone as you wrote over the SPL with an SPL meant for a higher SPL device.

and how can we repair it. i tried flashing official wm5 rom, official wm6 rom and because i canont instal via usb(it begins the instalation then "try a newer update utility"), tried no vendor utility(still not working), i tried sd flashing but i get "sercurity level not cleared"(if using heradiag.nbh) and if not using heradiag.nbh it's checking the sd card and does nothing.
I'm using only official roms.

Can't flash Radio

Hi. I've been trying to unlock my p3600i on windows 7, after i've installed the activesync 4.5 xp drivers.
I've managed to flash several custom and an official ROM, but i can't flash a RADIO. Neither the unlocker or the latest radio 1.56.70.11 worked, they just stuck at 0% for ever.
What should i try to do in order to get it unlocked? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hardspl version???

You'll have to SIM unlock the device to get it to work on your network carrier. There are online sites that charge a small fee and will have your device SIM unlocked in a couple hours to a day. Unfortunately flashing a rom won't SIM unlock the device.
When you get the device go to - Setting - About - More - this will give you the devices Bootloader version, Firmware Revision Number, Radio version and other information such as OS version but those are the important ones you'll need.
The last 3 digits of the Firmware Revision # will give you the network carrier that it's locked to for sure. Bell Mobility = .666
Since its Bell carrier you'll need to download a Bell Mobility Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom to downgrade the SPL and use it with the goldcard method to downgrade the SPL.
To flash a rom you'll have to follow these steps -
1. Downgrade the devices SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL)
2. Install RSPL and HSPL = Flashing XSPL
3. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
Just follow Shadow's tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing a custom rom -

i managed to enter the tri color screeen and saw following info.
pd29130
spl-2.16.2250.0 (117476)

does it mean that my phone's spl is 2.16 and downgrade is not necessary?
thanks again .

Luckily yes!
You just have to download and install RSPL/HSPL while the device is in bootloader mode.
Read through the DFT XSPL post carefully to avoid damage to the device.
Then download and flash the custom rom of your choice while the device is in bootloader mode

Before you start trying to flash the device... Make sure you have ActiveSync install for windows XP or windows mobile device center for Vista/7 on your PC, this allows for the proper drivers to be installed. Then you'll want to plug the device into your PC into and let the drivers install. Once that's done put the device into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC again and it will install the Qualcomm drivers. This will change the white section in bootloader mode from "Serial" to "USB" and now your ready to start flashing!

i downloaded tried to run xspl following the link but the it says my hd7 model ID is not supported. Mine is a bell hd7 ( just unlocked using codes order online) with information as
PD29130
SPL-2.16.2250.0
......
error msg when running xspl:
[Error Description]:
Invalid ModelID. This means that your phone not supported.
This installer supports only limited number of the phones.
SPARK, MOZART, MONDRIAN, GOLD, SCHUBERT.
If you have phone from this list, but still have this error, please contact with DFT team.
[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (235)
[Error Description]:
ModelID is 'PD291300'. Please report this info to DFT.

would you be able to shed some lights on what i should do?

Your device is supported use the Newest version Revision #3 here -
http://htcfanboys.com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=2942
As far as the rebooting I'm not sure....that can be caused from multiple things. Hopefully after flashing the device it will take care of it.
When in bootloader mode is there any other information displayed on the screen?
Other than
PD29130
SPL 2.16.2250.0

thank you so much for the info. i will try it when i get home. the rebooting problem seems to have lessened after sleeping on it for a night. it's strange though. anyway, i will try to flash the rom to see if it elimates the problem.
yes, on the tri color screen, it shows other lines as well which i don't have a club what they are.
i will let you know what's going to happen .tks again.

it still didn't work. phone is recognized but there isn't 2.16 spl so i choose 2.10. it didn't work, then i tried 2.56 , it still didn't work. after the sussful msg, i took out the battery and then restart the phone going into tricolor state, its still spl, not rspl. any ideas, thanks ...

i just noticed that the tricolor screen has " MNG" in the spl version line. i remember the DFT software says to make sure no MNG is displayed in the message. i guess the DFT method does not work with my HTC HD7. now what i do? thank you,

It should still work even with the MNG.
I would try and run RSPL/HSPL again. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time. Run the RSPL wizard and select the 2.10, The device should stay in bootloader mode and say RSPL, if it doesn't change run the wizard again and it should work. Then while it's still in bootloader mode run the HSPL wizard and select the closest version to your RSPL 2.1
Once you install RSPL don't pull the battery or it will reset and go back to OSPL.
