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..

okay, i am aware that i have requested the stock - 'from-the-factory-English' ROM before, and i had it saved to my desktop, however, my $3100 Vaio POS with 64-bit Vista decided to erase half of itself the other day and i ended up losing the ROM for the blackstone English settings.
now that Sony has provided me with a 32-bit recovery dvd set, i am able to resume most normal functions, but now i have the Miri (latest) ROM installed on the cell and every other text i receive is just jibberish - consisting of an alpha-numeric stew, straight out of MS' character map lore.
i would really like to restore the original, English, factory settings to the phone, if possible.
thanks for any & all support (",)

That just means the CID of the rom you are attempting to flash does not match the CID of your device. Is your phone an unbranded WWE phone? Or is it branded, i.e. Orange?
Either way, if you want to flash a stock WWE rom to your phone you can even with the CID mismatch. You can use USPL to keep the stock SPL and then flash the new stock WWE rom.
Or, alternatively, you can use HSPL and have a modified and unlocked SPL on your phone so that you can flash any rom anytime you want.
The main difference is with USPL you have to use it every time you want to flash a custom or CID-mismatching rom. HSPL is a permanent (but reversible) solution.
There are plenty of How To threads this should have been posted in.
In short, use USPL when flashing a ROM, or put Hard SPL on first.

my topaz needs a service and i restored the original and rom. when i used the relocker that is provided by olinex, my device is not booting. i need help please. my device shows that its running stock spl 1.33.0000. when i come to flash another rom (sock rom) it will not allow me to do so.it says not allowed please help me.im begging
Hey. If I am not wrong, you need to load the stock rom before lock it with SPL again.
So what I would do is try to HSPL again, load the stock rom and then lock it with the SPL.
Hope it works. There are a few threads that shows you how to load the stock rom back in order to send it to HTC warranty service.
Cheers.
it wont let me load hspl. it will say not allowed for some reason
please tell us exactly your steps ...
never mind. i was getting errors because i was trying to install a rom that was not meant for my phone after i put the stock spl and i didnt know that europe had more than one wwe version
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'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
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).

After trying some custom roms I decided to flash back to stock one from Era GSM (network provider that branded and released the fw). However, I got stuck on T-Mobile G1 logo. The firmware was in flashable zip.
On Polish android forums I was told that I have wrong radio and spl and that another thing that may interfere is custom-MTD recovery. SPL is 1.33.0013d, radio is 2.22.27.08.
How do I flash correct SPL, radio and recovery without bricking the phone?
Or maybe there somewhere is Polish locale for DreamTeam froyo or Froyo Melt? Then the problem won't exist
If you didn't already bricked your G1 (sound like you did if you can't get into the fastboot)
Follow the instruction from ezTerry, link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139&highlight=2708
Recovery works. I don't know about fastboot.
I already have the radio and hboot mentioned in thread you linked to. So basically the only thing that I have wrong is MTD-recovery. Does flashing only Amon_Ra recovery will make android 1.6 boot?
That, I am not sure.
any reason you were going back to stock? there are many options to get you back there, which i could help you with but im just curious why you want to go back to aosp1.6?
