Change official rom

Hey Guy's,
I would like flash my "French" HTC P4350 with the English official WM6. It has now the official French WM6 on it.
I have both Rom's, tried it with the ASerg cab file and yes did a soft reset before...but I always get the country ID error code!
In some of the forum threads it looks like it should be possible with the ASerg cab file, or is it only possible to flash "coocked" rom's with the ASerg Cab file?
My HTC P4350 is unbranded and no Sim lock, no Orange/Vodafone or any other operator **** on it...
Should I get it CID unlocked to flash an "other" official rom on my device? Are there some guy's who can confirm that it works with an CID unlock, before I pay 28€ ?
Thanks,
Yves

Wauw....a lot of feedback from all those "specialists" here.
I gues if it comes to flashing original roms they do not have a clou?!
Thanks for your help...

That's a bit harsh, don't you think? It's been slow in the forum, in general. You got a little impatient.
Now on to your question:
Aserg's policies only help when you are upgrading through a single os.nb, NOT when you're using a full fledged RUU. For that, you need a CID unlocked phone. You can:
1. Extract the Windows.NB (a.k.a. os.nb) from the RUU and flash it using the Aserg way.
2. Unlock your phone with the somewhat dangerous HardSPL.

Go and take the HardSPL rom, it is not dagenrous at all for P4350
After that you can flash any official Rom u want, but warranty has gone....

Yeah your right, I am impatient and would like to apologize!
HTC France "changed" my dutch Herald into a full French one, including the keyboard. It went in with a deffective touchscreen and sometimes it did a softreset when sliding the keyboard. It came back with new mainboard/touchscreen/keyboard, all under warranty...
I am not an expert if it comes in modifiyng flashing etc, so I would like to avoid using the HardSPL, seems a lot of people owe a brick after trying...
I will go for the CID unlock option...
Thanks for the feedback!

is there a problem installing original GPS enabled ROM over cooked ones??

I have an HTC P3600 from france (Originally with SFR then deblocked and serial was accepted at HTC site for update) working with english Ausdim ROM and SPL 9.99-CF and i would like to try the original french ROM i downloaded from HTC site or the original english ROM from HTC wiki.
Would that cause a problem or reblock the CIF or block install of any modded ROM later
also if i try the DOPOD original ROM would it cause same problems or not??
THX for your help

should i flash SSPL before using original rom or still use Hard-SPL??
anybody there??

Since nobody answered and I actually tried it
YES it is possible to downgrade from cooked roms to original version but always use SSPL as recommended by trinityguides.info and it will propably revert your SPL & radio version to original But not CID as I have seen.
But you have to install Hard-SPL again before installing a cooked rom.
Sometimes just installing the original rom can unbrick the phone stuck at boot screen even if failed to complete but of course this is not done using SSPL so i dont assume it is that safe
these remarks are from my personal experience

Help me CID Unlock my HTC P4350 after installing Official Spanish WM6 ROM.. june 2008

Hello everybody,
I bought a P4350 from Spain a few days ago and "unfortunately" the Spanish HTC Official WM6 upgrade was already installed on it. This means that my phone is CID Unlocked so I cannot install an English WM6 version. (I tried to, but in vain...).
I've tried several WM5 device CID unlocking methods, but they all failed.
Can anyone help me?

Unfortunately there is not much information on the web for HTC Herald CID Unlocking as there is for other HTC's (Wizard, Hermes,...)...

HardSPL is CID unlock
or you can USPL an english RUU without the SPL.nbh
or you could just USPL/HSPL a custom rom

ok i'm gonna check for more information about "USPLing an english RUU without the SPL.nbh" on the web.
If you have any pertinent link to provide, it would be useful for me.

this is your one free link. Welcome to XDA-devs

you can start by tellings us your IPL/SPL versions
hold camera button while u power on, give u a tricolor-screen with a numbers

IPL 4.17.0002
SPL 4.17.0000
I couldn't hardSPL my Herald...

I was finally able to change my ROM thanks to your link!
I'm wondering if there is a ROM including the latest features of HTC diamond for Herald devices.
I've been searching, but if anyone has a link it would be helpful.
Thanks.

I found two different ROMs that include the Touch Dialer (which I find to be a very interesting feature).
Both ROMs included only an NBH file which had to be copied to my micro-sd card. Then I would run my Herald in bootloader-mode so that my device recognizes the file and perform the installation. But it does not.
I don't know what I should do to let my device detect the new ROM file...

I tried copying the NBH file to the RUU Folder of the Flash center and ran it, but it doesn't work either...

WM5 downgrade on G4 Wizard

Hi,
Ages ago I upgraded my G4 wizard to WM6.1. Now it turns out I need to put it back to WM5 - but can't find a RUU to use.
The original ROM was from O2, but that is not vital. Does anyone know where I can get a suitable RUU from? I found one that would, I think, only work with a G3 device, but have not found one yet I can use...
Cheers,
Ben

I thought I had found one, but the RUU complains that it is the wrong version (Error 300) and I get nowhere. I still have WM6.1 working fine... how infuriating :0p

Well,as you say its a G4 and upgraded to wm6.1,ok
First,how did you upgrade to wm6.1,which method did you apply to upgrade,was it SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
If you applied SoftSPL,then,just simply download official stock rom and flash it,it'll work,but if you applied HardSPL and the IPL/SPL are changed,then first you'll have to Remove HardSPL,revert back to Original Official IPL/SPL of the carrier and then you'll be able to reflash wm5,ok
Let me warn you here,if the phone is HardSPL and you flash any Official stock rom without removing HardSPL first,will 'Brick' your phone.

hi there,
Actually i had the problem with G4 on how to upgrade to WM6, I tried but no luck, haven't tried either SoftSPL or HardSPL yet but when I flashed my WM5 original ROM, I didn't have any backup at all so I kept searching answers here for days, & finally I tried the Wizard Love ROM which one of the Senior Member here said it will work. It works for me & now I'm using WM5 Wizard Love Rom with CID LOCKED.
Hope I can help u with that..
P.S.
If anybody can teach me how to upgrade my Wizard G4 (T-Mobile/MDA - black) to WM6 (any rom) or the download links for SoftSPL ONLY! they said it's safe..
Would gladly appreciate!
Thanks...

Please advice !!!

My brother bought for me X1 from Leipzig Germany its factory unlocked and has no branding. But it has windows in German.
My question is can I flash english rom vithout any spl unlocking?
and if yes please give me link which english wwe rom can flashed to my device.
I have experience with Elfin and Elfin was bought from china has chinese wm so I used wwe elfin rom and directly without unlocking it flashed.
So is there any chance that I can have englisj X1 rom original not cooked that can drieclty flash to my device?

You will need to flash HardSPL for X1 first (it's sticky on this forum), then you can flash UK rom. Remember that German version of X1 have qwertz keyboard, so if you will flash UK rom then some keys will have another function then they show.

But after that hardspl when I will change to UK can I go directly SEUS to recoknized my phone as UK phone and update via website? So if somebody have experience flashed German rom to UK generic and after that tested SEUS service please share here the results.

Can somebody give me link for UK Generic non customized rom I found on forum but it says at then begingn of link Customized UK I need original genereic UK rom please help me to find also if you tell me how to dump my rom I can dume German Generic rom for share with forum

When you've done HARDSPL you can use the SE update service

One more question I have conected with SPL things.
I have experience workign with HTC TOUCH XL USPL tool and flashed lot of roms with that tool but in HTC any time you need to flash another rom you should use USPL tool and then at some stage start RUU and flash your rom.
also if you stack in bootloader or in other stage you can always recover your phone using RUU and your device default rom.
Is this possible in X1?
Lets say I have German Genereic rom deivce I want to flash to UK rom direclty without any SPL tools and stucked in some stage with error. Can I use Kovski RUU and German Genereic rom (which is the my device's defalut rom) and recover from that stage?
Thanks in advance

You should be able to yes, obviously make sure you've done hardspl before going to the UK rom.
The SEUS uses RUU to flash the rom.
If you have your own rom (such as stock german one) then it's much much easier to flash from the SD card. Jack did a decent walkthrough of that.. but just rename the file to KOVSimg.nbh and go into bootloader (volume down and reset at the same time).

is USPL available for the X1?? or its just the HD?

USPL is not available for Xperia... would be cool if it is made available at some point, though I've already flashed HardSPL!
