Hi there,
I want to recover my device to the stock SPL. I have tried to download the stock ROM from the HTC site but it says "Sorry this software is not suitable for the device." Is every WWE ROM the same? If so can I use a WWE ROM from any region?
Thanks
Hey,
What is your device model? It should look like "DIAM100", a 7 letter code. You can see it by removing the battery and looking somewhere near the type.
If you have a DIAM110, then you're pretty much screwed as HTC provides no ROMs for them. You might be able to find the original ROM somewhere here, but I'd be careful or you might end up like me - during the restore of my original ROM I got a "corrupted" error and am now stuck in a stalemate.
If you have warranty though, I would look for your original SPL (hopefully you recorded the version). For DIAM110 it was 1.93. Just make sure you DO NOT restore the SPL until everything else works well. If you screw up your OS and you have the stock SPL installed then you're stuck.

My one is a DIAM100 and I'm running Olinex 1.40 unsigned with SatusROM 2.6. My original SPL is 1.93.
That is strange. So you went to the HTC Worldwide website and chose Touch Diamond? It should work... anyways I've seen a Hong Kong stock ROM here somewhere. But you can try checking here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_Upgrades. If you need to return it for warranty though, you need to find the original SPL (hopefully you remember version). To install SPL, you need to use Jump SPL (on this site).

Hello,
I'm a new one on this great forum so first of all I'd like to send greetings to all of you.
I've searched and read a lot of posts on this forum as well as on another ones, but unfortunately I couldn't find a solution for my problems.
I have purchased a bricked Dopod with HTC logo on it. Previous owner told me that it was Dopod (I don't know exactly which one - C800 or C858) with a Chineese WM 5 OS. He was trying to make HardSPL but he didn't realize that it is recommended for Heralds with higher IPL/SPL.
Now I can only launch Bootloader (with IPL/SPL 1.11.0001) mode but still without oportunity to flash - even with RUU from Dopod (RUU_Herald_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.7.707.3_02.69.90_Ship_R.exe). This RUU seems to be too old for my Dopod. I couldn't find any other (newer) one.
Has anybody got RUU for Dopod suitable for 1.11.0001 IPL/SPL? Or maybe someone who owns working Dopod with IPL/SPL 1.11.0001 could make a backup of his ROM and we could change the mentioned RUU to be able to flash 1.11.0001 SPL?
What do you think?
I'm waiting for your responses and opinions.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Martin.
Hello again.
I have some new ideas.
Could someone verify if I'm on the right track?
I have used NBHextract tool to extract .nbh file from RUU_Herald_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.7.707.3_02.69.90_Ship_R.exe and realized that there are 2 .nb files which are SPL and IPL for my DOPOD. During editing those 2 files we can notice that they include "1.09.0001" string. File 01_G4IPL.nb includes only one "1.09.0001" string and file 00_G4SPL.nb includes just two "1.09.0001" strings.
What if I'll change those strings to "1.11.0001", as it's shown now in the bootloader on my device, and than recompile .nbh file for using in RUU process...
Will it work without total bricking my DOPOD?

as i know it, all the spl flashing methods other than original RUU (it needs to be signed) require a 4+ SPL/IPL. I would just send it in. Changing the string won't work because it's not identified by name but function
I'm just wondering how the ROMUpdateUtility is checking if dedicated .nbh suits to current SPL and IPL. As I've mentioned above, I've tried to use official DOPOD Herald RUU (with SPL/IPL 1.09.0001 included) and it doesn't suits my device with 1.11.0001. Why? CID should be the same and the only differences are in SPL and IPL. As it's official RUU I thought it would work even on my device with higher SIPL/IPL. When I realize that it doesn't work I'm wondering if the way with changing the SPL and IPL strings in .nbh file will do the job.
Now I think that the reason of non flashing, even with official RUU, could be corrupted CID-block after using HardSPL with low IPL/SPL. I've read thread about similar problem with Wizard. The question is: how to restore the CID block in our bricked devices? I'm not even sure if this theory with CID-block is a reason...
What do you think about such a trick:
- Run RUU on someone's working HTC device but only until the moment, when it wants you to click the last button to finally proceed with flashing. (This step is to let RUU to know that this RUU is correctly dedicated to our device). It's a kind of fake for RUU, cause our CID doesn't much the CID of ROM included in RUU.
- Next disconnect working device from the USB and connect your bricked device with launched bootloader mode
- Next click the final button to launch flashing in RUU application. If the process of CID matching was done before thit step, the flasher should start and let us flash our bricked device. But I'm sceptic to this solution. If it was so trivial, everyone could flash his device with different ROMs so easy...
I can't try this trick cause I don't have working HTC. What do you think? Will it work or not?

I really want to get a WM6.5 Rom on my TP2 however I want to make sure I'm able to send my device back to Vodafone if i need to make a warranty call. The problem is I can't find a Stock UK Vodafone Rom or SPL anywhere (Rom Version 1.14.161.5 (50207) WEE, Radio Version 3.44.25.27).
In actual fact I could get away without the Rom, but I really need the SPL!
Can anybody help?
The stock SPL is 0.79 see the Hard SPL thread for the re-locker.
The Stock ROM is on Vodafones website and the sticky post by udk.

can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?
if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.
End of the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1.
Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.
i have another problem, when in bootloader it wont change from serial to usb but was a week ago

nevermind what i said there, for sum reason it works again now
I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits
Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that
According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.
As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed
I can't seem to find which SPL comes with the tilt 2. I semi-bricked my phone and I need to flash the stock one back before going to ATT. Right now I flashed back the .87 SPL. Can anyone help?
It doesn't really matter. All Stock SPLs are the same as far as manufacturers are concerned, so long as it doesn't say OliNex I don't think anyone will check.
You could always flash the Shipped Exe from your supplier over the current .87 stock SPL.
Any more problems, please ask in the Hard SPL or ROM flashing thread.

I have a Bell Mobility HD7 but it's stuck thinking it's a Telstra HD7 T9296 rather than a Bell HD7 T9295...
Because of this, I believe, I haven't received an update from Bell for the "disappearing keyboard" thing.
Any idea how I can make it a "fully bell" rom? Do I need to do the "GoldCard" method?
sounds like you are running a custom rom. Is the spl an hspl or original spl (the tricolor screen seen when booting with vol-and power at the same time)? It should say the SPL v1.x.x or whatever version of it is the ospl, meaning the rom is stock and can only be flashed with another stock (i.e. Signed) rom, although for this you shouldn't need gold card, any rom updater should be able to flash provided it is a signed rom you try to flash. You will need to find the rom that came with your device originally, and the rom update package, should be easily available here though. If your SPL screen says HSPL Cortulla then you have a custom spl and can flash any rom you like if it is compatible, i.e. custom roms. That is as much as i can help you there, all the info is in the q&a stickies
Good luck with the hd7, i found it a pain in my butt..lol
(just stay away from the schudiag.img utility!)
Yeah, it's actually a legitimate signed ROM. If I try to flash a BellMo RUU it fails. One of Ansar's ROMs changed my device id and whatnot. So strange.
For some reason, some ROMs flash over others better..when I half-bricked my HD7 into a USB host bootloop, the only ROM that would take it out was an O2 UK signed ROM, and the phone is TMOBUS all the way..once I got 02 to work, then it seemed the ROMs that were failing previously suddenly worked..strange, I didn't investigate to determine a cause or way of deciding which one goes on top of which- I just flashed with trial and error since my phone was already half-bricked and useless already
By the way did you try to install a HSPL via the DFT XSPL installer? I would try and see if it would install the HSPL then try to flash another signed (or custom) ROM on top, that should fix the problem..
