Hello,
i am having a frustrating problrems with my p3600
- the phone is not working ! it show that there is no singal and i can't get to the phone seetings
- i tried hard reset / soft reset / upgraded to wm6 , no difference
- tried to flash the radio , but it stops at 0% , and after one hour , it is still 0%?
please help!
Try updating to WM6 with this package:
Apoc said:
jesus, use this: http://rapidshare.com/files/2987211...y_WM6_v2.0.0.4_incl_HSPL___Radio1.41.0.11.exe
created a self-extracting archive so that you only need windows to do the upgrade(no 7zip or winrar), it should extract to a temporary folder and execute the updater, it will flash the hardspl, radio 1.41.0.11, and lsvw's 2.0.0.4.

Like it says, it's a total upgrade package which will also upgrade the radio, using harspl, so CID shouldn't be a problem...
Just connect to ActiveSync (preferably as a guest) and start the .exe you've just downloaded. It'll push SSPL by Des (modified bootloader) to the phone, execute it and start updating.
Let me know if this worked...
Did the upgrade and still not working ......
?
Time for a warranty repair!
Your symptoms stongly suggest a hardware fault with the Qualcomm radio chip.
Updating to the WM6 ROM's doesn't update the Radio, so you could try flashing just a Radio ROM (though by your 1st post you've already tried that?)
The instructions for LSVW and Mun-rus both state that the radio should be updated prior to applying the WM6 ROM itself.

But did the whole upgrade process finish all well...? Is radio 1.41 installed now?
It's a bummer you still have problems, but just exclaming it's not working doesn't really help... Can you be a bit more specific please???
What went well, and what didn't, and what is the exact problem that has risen or didn't get solved? Did you get any specific error-messages? Are you in a good-coverage area? Etc,etc...

Ah- missed the significance of that one! Thanks
Problem is that this topic is split in 2 forums, so some info not consistent- his answers in the other thread stongly suggest hardware failure.
Hello,
thank you for answering
i did try all the updates in this forum , SAME PROBLEM !
when i press the green button nothing happins , when i go to Phone nothing happiens , when i go to phone settings , also nothing happiens
it used to work before , but it used to disconnect every hour or two , then it stopped working
is the device coverd by warranty in the U.S ? i bought it from eBay less than three months ago
I've no idea if it is likely to be covered- was it a new device, fully boxed?
If so, there should be an international warranty card inside, but I don't know HTC's policy on coverage in USA.
HTC's USA Home Page doesn't mention this model at all.

You should have read the instructions before trying the upgrade. ROM upgrade goes first, then the radio stack. I don't know if there's something you can do yourself to fix your device, or if you need to have it reflashed by your supplier. Anyone else?

Hi,
Seems like you are another of the many victims who got problems
after trying to upgrading new ROM & Raidio stack. Hope you still
got that warrant and get it replaced with a new one. Otherwise
you might have to try what some crazy guys do here trying to fix
it by doing all sort of bootloader etc.. Hope those who are trying
to get the upgrade ROM and Radio stack be very careful and make
sure your device are from the same supplier or distributor where
you got the new upgrade. Otherwise it will be screwed. Dont learn
your lesson the hard way.
same problem here.
i've got the O2 NL XDA
downloaded the 3.15 and radio updates from O2 NL website
installed updates as per instructions
1st update went without a hitch
2nd update totally screwed my xda.
now it takes a long time to start up, and when it does it just displays a white screen with a blue taskbar.
tried the bootloader way of flashing the rom, but still no luck
luckily I can send it back in to O2 to have it fixed.
I may try to do it by backup up another XDA, and reflashing mine.
Same prob with me..
I've got exactly the same problem. I downloaded the Rom update 3.15 and the new radio update. First I installed teh Rom update and after a hard reset I "installed" the radio update.
While updating the XDA hang and I waited for about ten minutes to see if the XDA was really hanging. I gave the XDA a hard reset but then the XDA didn't work anymore (white screen and blue bar on top).
I can still access the bootloader. I installed a Rom from a XDA which still works. Still no difference. When I tried to write the Radio rom to a sd-card I got that message that I have to connect one or another RS cable.
The XDA still doesn't work anymore. I have contacted O2 but they told me that they couldn't help me because they can't find my IMEI number in their system. I contacted the company where we ordered all the XDA's but I still don't have an answer.
Thank you O2 for being so nice with not helping me out with my one week old XDA without any scratch. I hope my XDA could be replaced as soon as possible since the XDA will not sold anymore when O2 changes to Telfort !
If you can make the ROM update work, you should be able to install the corresponding radio as well.
Try this:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of ActiveSync (=3.6)
2. Make sure the battery is fully loaded.
3. Extract the ROM update and Radio update to different folders.
3. Connect the cradle to AC-adapter and computer.
4. Put the device in the cradle and make sure it connects to ActiveSync.
5. Run the ROM installation application. Should take 5-6 minutes.
6. Run the radio installation. IMPORTANT: When you are prompted to remove power supply, pull the power plug from the cradle. If you do not disconnect power, the update will fail. I think this update took a little more time than the ROM update, and the device may seem "dead" for a while.
Good luck!
Hy Guys.
Are there any news about the problem flashing the XDA?
Tried last night to update my XDA to the last Qtek-Versions (ROM 3.16.52.....)
ROM Update works fine, but after the RSU Update the phone didn't work any more.
Have the same white screen with the blue taskbar and the little keyboardicaon down the right side.
Entering Bootloader mode there comes the Error Message "GSM Error"
Nice screen is the qtek "Booting Screen".
It shows
G <empty>
R <empty>
3.16.52
Hope there are any other hints to resolv this problem.
Have anyone got some experiences with sending it back to O2 with an "unoffical" Softwareversion?
Or is there any posibility to change the ROM Version to an old (original) O2-RomVErsion?
Thanks for any help....
Regards
Stefan
Hi Stefan,
I would suggest to try upgrade you device with any XDA ROM version by bootloader's CE to SD backup/restore and after try again to upgrade RUU by PC.
I know that upgrading/degrading by bootloader is the more safety way to do it.

Riccardo

SD-Card Writer just orderd
But I don´t know if it will work. Since the Bootloader says GSM Error, I think there will be no other posibility to restore it.
Let´s wait for some days, hope and we will see.....

Hi!
Question... After flashing my mda (t-mobile, ger) to 3.19.x I decided to upgrade the radio stack. Afte that, the phone refused to boot the system, windows starts without task bar.
Is there a way to flash the radio part via SD?
Can somebody mail me a .nb1 rom to flash via SD? a developers edition 1.2 would be more than great...
Thanx for the help.

I had the same problem with flashing to Radio 4.21
This repair.zip mentioned in that topic worked for me. Just replace the RSU-cab-file with the new one and insert the sd-card into the xda. Then it will autostart the update. Please be pationed. It seems to stuck at 80% or so. Dont do anything, even when you think nothing happens. It will be fixed.

Hi everybody
Yesterday i had a problem trying to upgrade my wallaby to radiostack 6.18 tu RSU 6.24.
When i was doing the upgrade with the rsu files and the upgrade was in 88% in the screen appears:
" Upgrade problem, please reset" (something like that :? )
When i did the reset i got the boot screen and in the corner only i get the ROM version. The radio stack dissapears and then im not able to have my wallaby works.
Then i get into the wallaby bootloader version 5.15 and i got the following message:
GSM-ERROR
I reset the device a lot of times and nothing. i think " god i lost mi phone"
and then reading posts and posts i solve the problem in this way:
1:- I cook a rom image in an sd card using Xtools and a card reader instaled in your pc.
2.- when you finish insert the sd card with the image, enter again bootloader by holding On/Off and doing a soft reset
3.- Bootloader should tell you something that OS is detected on your SD-Card
4.- Press Action Key to install the ROM
5.-After finishing do a hard reset
Now your ROM should be installed on your device.
6.- turn off your device, maybe you will have to press the power button several times.
7.- Remove your SIM card
8.- Turn on your device, wait about 15 minutes and you can see that the device goes out off that frezze screen and gets into the align screen setup.
9. When you get the TODAY screen connect your device in the cradle and make a new asociation for your device
10. get into the windows file with the explorer of activesync on your pc and copy the 4 radio stack files in the windows file of your deviceq and the .exe file in the \Windows\StartUp folder of your device.
11. Restart the device and the upgrade will begins automaticaly in the back ground
12. when it sucsesfully done, do a soft reset and you must have your radio stack upgrade done and your wallaby completly recovered.
13.- Insert your SIM card again and enjoy
I hope this guide will help you
Rememeber to copy the correct radio stack in your device, i used the RSU 6.24 because i have a PW10B1 wallaby. check your version in the label in the rear part off your device
[/b]
if this tip results succesfully to someone please let me know. thanks
Well done, not many people manage to repair corrupt/missing radio stack, thanks for the details also, it may help resurrect other dead Wallabys.

Thanks Stefan - I saw elsewhere what the password was, and noticed it was missing from the URL. I got the RSU file and have finally managed to get it on to the XDA, but still fails every time it restarts... the old 1% problem... Do you know if it is easier to update the radio stack from an SD card? The XDA is running the special edition ROM, which has at least given me back some control of the device.
Thanks in anticipation

I have the same problem, every time my device restarts, and stop at 1%. So I am wondering if Stefan can help us to give us solution in this case.
Worth the risk?
After reading this ordeal, is it worth the risk to upgrade a working radio stack? Does the telephone work substantially better after the upgrade?
Try other RSU's

Hi, have you tried using other RSU versions? I had the same problem too (1% fail) using 4.16. After giving up on the 4.16, I tried RSU 4.21 (exe). One shot and I was able to re-flash my RSU. What I did differently was to remove the AC power while doing the RSU upgrade (the exe file prompted me). Hope you get your wallaby up and running again.
I try alot of times but it stop at 1% - full batery got the same result.
help.
Re: Try other RSU's
Thank you for your help. I have tried many vensions of RSU, such as 4.16, 4.21, 6.24, 6.25, etc. But all of them showed 1% mistake.

Hi guys i have a pw10a1 too, and my radio version is 4.21, i really think it sucks. so is it a good idea to downgrade to 4.16??? or will it only be made worse. or can i use the 6.25.02 version? or is that for another phone type.. PWIEW srry for all the questions .. if 1 is awnsered. i'm happy
Hi, first post on the forum so please be gentle with me....
I have an XDA Orbit 2 which was until last Thursday working fine with the last official upgrade from O2 (Win 6.1, no idea about all the other stuff).
Whilst using the phone last week it suddenly died in the middle of a conversation. It wouldn't power on at all. I took out the battery, waited a couple of minutes, put the battery back in and switched it on. All that happened was the phone displayed the 4 colour screen with "POLA200 SPL-3.13.0000 CPLD-2" in the red section and "Serial" in the white. I repeated the battery removal exercise a few times, waiting for increasing lengths of time but nothing changed.
I had a fairly long search through the forum and have tried for a few hours now going through the various fixes suggested but I am getting nowhere.
It won't hard reset, all that happens is the message "No Image Found" appears for a very short time and I then get stuck on the 4 coloured screen with the message above.
The same thing happens if I try just putting the thing in bootloader mode.
I can't use any of the official O2 rom upgrades as the phone because all the PCs I've tried connecting to it won't recognise it over a USB link.
I've tried connecting to it using mtty, again on several PCs, but I just get a message "USB port can not open". Just in case I've uninstalled Activesync on one PC and got the same answer.
The "how to flash you polaris using the microSD card" originally looked useful but I have some problems with it.
The first is that I need HardSPL installing on the device, which I can't do because I can't get to it.
The second will be down to me not knowing where to look, but I can't find a ROM to download and copy to the microSD card as POLAIMG.nbh. I did manage to find a Win6.5 one (the HTC Polaris - PDaviet rom wm6.5 manilla 2d (core 23004) by tranminhman one) which I thought I'd try. I guess the idea was that if I could just get something working I could always reflash it again with a different ROM or maybe apply the o2 upgrade. Unfortunately the image was password protected and I couldn't find the password in the thread.
I'm kind of at a loss now so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Hey,
Sorry i can't help much you'll need to do a lot of reading and troubleshooting...usually it's the onyl way to solve it by trying all options.
I'm just posting this message to bump it up in this forum, but more importantly you should be posting in the Iolite section for help with that specific device especially if you're trying other ROMs.
Also if it died on you and you haven't begun to flash it, can't you send it to the service for them to fix it for you? That way you can rule out any hardware malfunction.
Best of luck!
Alan
Did you do soft reset

Bit in bold er... cant quite understand why in iolite section as the xda orbit 2 is the rebrand htc touch cruise => htc touch find. Its in the right place.
On the side of what to do i the ony thing i can think of would be mtty and if that didnt work then try to reflash the official o2 6.1 release and see what happens when you try to do it.
You cant try to install any 3rd party roms they jsut wont flash as you dont have hard spl installed and cant do that until you have it running again.
Try the above and see what happens...
Hi Nik
I have tried just about every kind of reset, nothing has worked.
Hi Alan
If I can't get it sorted any other way I'll probably send it off somewhere but I'd like to have a go at fixing it myself. It will at least be a bit of fun!
I take then that I've posted this in the wrong forum. Oops, apologies.
Jon
You have not posted in the wrong forum look at my signature!
Hi jon,
Conclusion from post 1,
1) Uncompleted flash with new ROM or hardware problem (half way die)
2) Unsuccessful flash Hard SPL (cannot see Olinex 2.2 wording during bootloader)
3) Your PC & PDA fail to connect via USB (serial wording appear during bootloader)
Try this method,
1) Get shipped ROM from HTC web site, key in your country & serial behind battery
1a) Extract shipped ROM by WinRAR , take RUU Signed.nbh
2) Rename to POLAIMG.nbh put inside SD card, "flash using SD card"
3) Make sure your battery power more than 50% cause it take about 2 hours
Good luck, my friend

I've had a bit of a look round the HTC site and couldn't see a ROM to download so I've asked their technical support people if there's anywhere to download it.
Fingers crossed they'll help.

Try to get official HTC ROM here, Select WWE (405) CID_001 for your country.
Good luck my friend
have u tried this?...
turn off, pull out the battery, then put it back, charge ur phone till the battery indicators shows green (which mean it's already fully charged) then... power on ur device.
it looks like a dumb suggestion , but... i have had a same situation
(HTC KAISER, not Polaris).
if it doesn't work, then try to upgrade with a POLAIMG.nbh (take it from official HTC ROM)
in a 2G FAT32 microSD root directory.

Much appreciated.
Downloaded the ROM as suggested, unzipped to the SD card, renamed the image to POLAIMG.nbh, stuck it in the phone and things got slightly more interesting.
In bootloader mode I now get a bit further. I get a grey screen which says "Loading ..." then "Checking...." then "00028002 Not allow". It then goes back to the four coloured screen as before.
However, does the fact that it is trying to read something mean that I have just got the wrong file?
I'll try a few more and see what happens.
Thanks once again, your help is greatly appreciated.
Jon
Hi oza
Yep tried all the battery pulling out stuff but got nowhere.
The ROM thing on the SD card gets further. I extracted the ROM from the official O2 upgrade, stuck it on the card and renamed it POLAIMG.nbh.
If I put the phone in Bootloader mode I now get even further than before. I get a grey screen with:-
POLAIMG.nbh -
RADIO_V2 -
BOOTLOADER -
SPLASH1 -
OS -
Press power button to start update image
Press action button to cancel update image
If I press the power button
I get an "Update In Progress" message and a progress bar.
After about 4 minutes I get a full progress bar and :-
POLAIMG.nbh - OK
RADIO_V2 - OK
BOOTLOADER - OK
SPLASH1 - OK
OS - OK
Update complete
UPDATE SUCCESS
And that's as far as I've got so far.
If I take the SD card out and try a hard reset I just get stuck on the 4 coloured screen I got before, but with no No Image Found message.
I get the same thing with bootloader mode and when I just remove the battery.
If I put the SD card back in I can go through the update process but I can't do anything
else.
So, have I actually made any progress? I'm not actually sure what I have updated and what state the phone is in at the moment. Is the fact that this didn't work an indication of a hardware failure and I should send it off somewhere.
Any advice on next steps would be good.
Jon
what is ur bootloader screen says now?
IPL...
SPL...
Before you can be helped you need to supply this information:
What rom were you using when it died?
What SPL are you using?
You used MITTY and fixes so I assume you're not a complete nunce and have hard spl on your phone, so on that assumption and ONLY if you have hard spl on your phone, try this:
If it isnt a hardware problem, then Its possible you have a dodgy radio flash issue - normally that would have been caused by a bad flash, but you indicated that this happened in use.
Provided it isnt a hardware, to fix this you need to either flash the radio (less reliable, but try it) rename the radio file to POLAIMG.nbh as directed before and stick on SD card.
The other thing to try is to flash a rom with a radio INCLUDED in it. Try and avoid fancy 6.5 beta roms and stick to 6.0 and 6.1 basic roms.
I believe Chavonbravo's VLIT roms come with the radio so try that. Its listed in the forum. I'm not providing links as I dont know what radio you were using and you really need to go for like to like or close. My preference is 1.59.44.02 radio rom if you find one.
Let us know how you do.
Lastly what radio and rom did you have?
Try this one M-AMINES if the radio you had was a 1.59.xx radio as it has the radio included.
if it was a 1.65.xx radio then try the VLIT naked rom.

Hi Oza
Exactly the same as it did when it first broke. I get the 4 coloured screen with "POLA200 SPL-3.13.0000 CPLD-2" in the red section and "Serial" in the white.
No idea what the IPL is or was I'm afraid.

I've not been a big modifier in the past so it was just using the bog standard O2 software from the O2 website. The name of the file is "RUU_Polaris_O2_UK_3.13.206.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe" so I presume that there can be information gleaned about things like the SPL, ROM and radio versions?
Not a complete nunce, no, but so very far away from being comfortable with all this. This post was a result of a good few hours trawling through the forums looking for help. Anything I have done has been the result of a post on this site and I am very grateful that there are people willing to share their knowledge.
Anyway, as for hard spl, nope it isn't installed. I'd never needed anything like it before the phone died and now that it has died I can't get onto it to install anything.
Yes, this happened right in the middle of a conversation after a good year or so of normal day to day use. As I said, I haven't needed to make any changes to the phone so the only thing I've ever done is upgraded it with software from the O2 site.
I'm beginning to suspect that without Hard spl my options are very limited and pointing towards either sending it off for costly repairs or just binning the thing. I am probably wrong but I'm guessing that the fact that I don't have it installed is the reason why nothing is happening with the "Update in progress" stuff that is happening now.
Radio & ROM, as above. Whatever the O2 update provided. From the filename radio would be 1.59.42.15.
Many thanks

Well whatever you do dont bin it, we can always use it on the Android project if you decide to go that way.
Ok.. so lets see.. the phone is not picked up at all in windows?
If that is the case, if even a serial connection cant be made then theres issues. At this point, I would disregard all the other advice as it only applies to a hard spl device unfortunately. SD card flashing and all other radio rom flashing will only work with hard spl as far as I know - definitely safer for certain and you dont want to wreck a repairable device.
I take it, its not under warranty, for your mention of costly repair.
The important thing at this stage is a serial or usb connection from a Windows PC. I think I have heard of forcing this connection by opening the device but this would really be in the realms of profficient repairer or enthusiast.
I'll have a look but also do some searching yourself for making a connection to a Windows PC and forcing an SPL onto a phone.
I dont know whether anyone's ever managed to HardSPL a phone using a memory card? Just a thought...
Who would have known.. have a read of this and see if you can follow it up regarding the spl through sd card ..

Here you find some radio rom's for your hd7
[Update] now you will find a custom wrapper made by Dave shaw" attached to this post.
and here a link to Dave Shaw his thread where he share his wrapper to the world
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16460826&posted=1#post16460826
task 00 - this does not perform any kind of format after flashing a ROM.
This is the one you should use when flashing just Splash screens or Radios.
It saves you from having to restore all your data.
what to do with this:
1) download the attachment and extract (HD7_RUUWrapper_00)
2) download a radio you want to flash and extract.
3) copy the RUU_Signed.nbh from the stock folder (only for now, will update later)
4) bring phone in bootloader.
5) run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6) follow instructions on screen.
7) run R/H spl again (this will change later when I updated the radios)
how to bring phone into bootloader mode:
(reboot while hold volume down button pressed). Connect to PC and wait for drivers to be installed. (USB appears on the bottom of phone screen) Than start updater to flash radio.
if you have a rom with a radio that isn't in this post please send me a download link
in the .rar we have:
nb folder (here you find the spl.nb and radio.nb)
Stock folder ( here you find the stock spl/radio.nbh)
XML folder (here you find a .xml with all the data from the 2 .nb files)
RUU_Signed.nbh (this is a radio only .nbh)

Remember you have R/H spl by Cotulla.
Remember that this will NOT reset the phone
Remember that if you take the radio from the stock folder that this will undo R/H spl so you have to run that again to
Thanks goes to:
Dave Shaw for making us a wrapper that doesn't hard reset.
xboxmod for helping me with almost everything
ondraster for the good chats (most things I really didn't understand )
updated the first post
I updated the first post with a ROMUpdateUtility.exe so that all can easy flash the radios to the phone
Thanks a lot for these Ceesheim. Wish I would've had these before I rolled all the way back to catch the firmware update from Tmob By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update? I'm asking as I need to do a friends phone and would like to avoid rolling back just to get that done. Lastly, (and this is just to be sure), but will the phone really be hard reset from just flashing the radio (unlike it used to be on WM).

yes sorry , for now this will Hreset the phone because there is no public custom wrapper (one that does the task 32 instead of task 28)
"By the way, if we flash the new radio from Tmob, will it update all firmware that is in the actual update?"
do you mean a os update by ZUNE/MS/HTC ?
sorry don't know actually what you mean by this ?
but what this does is only updating the radio rom ( not the os and not the spl)

Ok, just wanted to be sure about the hard reset. And I mean there was an update from Tmob talked about here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188563 and wanted to know, if you install the radio which comes from this firmware update, will all the components of the firmware be updated as well? Or is the firmware update, pretty much just an update to radio and that's it?

it will only change this "5.51.09.11a" to "5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U." part
or one you like
and if you look at the phone (on custom dft) you will see this 2250.21.30401.531.DFT
the number 2250.21.30401.531.DFT is just an identification number I think, it doesn't say anything about with build you have.
so if you ask me then if you only update the radio all would be ok.
edit:
lol, yes to me it looks like just a radio update, and you can take every radio you like my radio comes from this "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183891" rom (I extracted it and removed the spl)
So im right in thinking the new custom RUU won't hard reset the device when flashing radios?.
Cheers kev

yes I am testing one as we speak but the problem is that it generate errors (and that isn't good for noobs )
and I can also tell you that the custom ruu is actually worked (no hard reset after radio flash )
but first the errors need to be fixed after that it will be posted on xda
i am trying to flash this "TMOUS_3.01.531.02_Radio_5.65.09.25a" on my HTC HD7 Tmobile.i am getting error 270 - update error
This is my phones Radio 5.54.09.21._22.33b.50.10U . I am not able to download through marketplace so i want to try different radio.

when flash is at 100% then just remove batt
if it didn't update then use the radio in the stock folder and run r/h spl after flash one moer time .

Ok, got you. I'm sure there has to be something else in the firmware update besides the radio, but probably doesn't matter much anyways. Can't wait for the custom wrapper either

hey Kwill , look at first post
The TMOUS update you're talking about included driver updates to fix the HTC Pink Camera issue. So, flashing just a radio ROM from here will not help. Flashing a custom ROM may undo this as well as I don't know if the custom ROM's have the updated drivers.

Hi!
I was just wondering if I flash the RUU_signed.nbh from the root folder the Cotulla HSPL remains in place. Which is really true but the phone cannot start: it keeps returning back to the BootLoader.
This is easy to resolve: Flash RUU_signed.nbh from stock folder of the archive as it is described in the first post. Cotulla HSPL is gone but ROM and data is intact. .
Hope there will be a fix for keeping HSPL in place.
Anyway this is far more easy now to upgrade my radio. I thanked every post by ceesheim here. (I hope I won't get in to trouble with that. )
Really thank you guys.

As seen in many Android XDA forums with modem, this thread is stuck now.
Btw, nice job , a well made thread, i've found it so understandable.

Ok, that's what I was afraid of (there being something that wouldn't update with the firmware update). Guess I'll take my friends phone through the rollback and update him that way. Thanks drkfngthdragnlrd for chiming in on that one.

Where is the stock folder of the archive which contain RUU_signed.nbh located.I need to deinstall my HSPL.
Hi, I've read the instructions a few times, but I guess I'm missing something. I keep getting the attached Error when I run it. My phone does the have the HSPL also.
Thanks
i am on asia HD7 Singtel
i would suggest not flashing this thing onto yr phone because a while back i recenived the same HTC firmware update available to Tmous users.
the htc update updates the radio to 5.65. and we arent sure if it contains other enahncements, bug elimination or any other improvements

You should download any Radio ROM archive from the first post than extract it. Inside you can find three folders. Or of them (stock) contains RUU_signed.nbh you're searching for. Use that for flashing.
