CID unlock from bootloader ?

I have original HTC Advantage 7500 not branded with Spanish windows . After tried to update with English RUU my htc Advantage stuck in 3 colors boot-loader mode. Any resets(soft, hard, boot-loader) not help.
Than I find this suggestion here I tried it and it help:
I think you are not stuck in bootloader, I think you are stuck in the Flash
ROM utility which has colors and not just the Dopod logo with a black scree.
If this is the case, here it is what I did to solve this:
I downloaded ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32.
00.10_108_ship, which you already did.
Decompiled the RUU_signed.nbh contained inside
ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32. 00.10_108_ship with
dutty's good NBH tool found at: http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showthread.php?t=296316 then I created a new RUU_signed.nbh
with the same files but it didn't allowed me to insert some items like the
SIRFBootLoader.nb and some others, so I started executed the
ROMUpdateUtility.exe again and it stopped again at 1% but with a different
error "Corrupted ROM Image" and suddenly! My device was taken out of the
Flash Utility to see the bootloader screen again! Wow! What a relief!

this is done!
after that my Spanish OS reloaded and I can to do ActiveSync with PC - Than I find the suggestion in this thread how to flash any ROM to CID locked and I tried it and after 5 min connecting error occurred . After hard resetting after this "update", after the HTC boot screen I just get a white screen. The HTC does make a sound as if it's working and BT and WiFi leds blink. When device connected to PC the HTC does make a sound as if it's working, but the ActiveSync with PC not work, it write that can't to connect to mobile device. And I just can't see anything just white screen.
I can't find Spanish HTC Advantage 7500 not branded RUU in all World.
So I need cid unlock without ActiveSync - from bootloader?!
Please help(I also ready to help - I will send donate).

trouble with hard spl

Im unable to upgrade the rom on my stock htc polaris.
im using vista with the 4.0 driver installed (dl'd from this forum).
I've turned off usb connection in win device center however when i try and install hard spl2 the progress screen sits at 0% and then times out with a 262 error.
does anyone have any ideas that can help me?

Use XP. I bet it works OK then...

4.0 Driver installed?
I have a stock Vista Ultimate, stock Device Center 6.1 and a German Orbit 2. It took me a while, but I finally managed it.
I didnt turn anything off, nothing. The only thing I had to change since the O2 ROM doesnt run unsigned stuff: the reg-entry to allow unsigned apps. Thats all.
Remove SD-Card
Connect to Device Center, wait till connection is fully established
Start the supplied RUU from HardSPL package
Follow instructions/click next/next/next...
Check your device, you have to confirm the execution of the loader
When the tri-color screen appears, unplug and replug, it'll upgrade the SPL and takes approx. 2 seconds
If you have no success at all: try to leave the device at the tri-color screen, quit the RUU and run it again, just leaving the device at the tri-color screen.
After a couple tries, I managed it and I'm happily running a stock HTC ROM instead of the O2 one.
Good luck, report back if it worked.

u must be in normal status i mean just whe u r synching with vista and the ppc should be on and then start the hard spl (u don't need to go in bootloader by yourself) it will go to bootloader automatically and then upgrade will be successfull.
so
connect ppc with wmdc vista and then when connected and start hardspl

tried all of this but still no joy.
i think running it on xp would be fine but i dont have an xp box

failing that, go get an (micro)SD card and format it as FAT32
bung the RUU_Signed.nbh inside the rom update onto the SD card and name it POLAIMG.nbh (or to make it flash with no user confirmation, POLADIAG.nbh) slap the SD into your device and reset into SPL

Thanks A Million!!!!

Olipro, You saved my life. After trying to flash my own cooked rom, my cruise wouldn't go beyond the splash screen. I used your tip and it worked!!!
THHHHAAAAAANKK YOUU!!!

Newbie: cannot install Hard SPL for love nor money help!!!

Before anyone ask's I have read all the posts regarding installing the Hard SPL but still have the same problem.
When I connect through Vista 32 via WMDC it recognizes my device fine, I then follow the steps in the tutorials but as soon as I press the button to update the ROM image it goes into the 3 colour screen and then into the updating ROM progress bar were it sits at 0% for ever.
My WMDC has disconnected at this stage and then I get a screen saying communication error which is obvious as WMDC has disconnected.
Is this a WMDC issue/ Vista or am I missing something
I then have to soft reset and it just re boots into my standard ROM.
Any advice woiuld be greatly appreciated

hello
1) connect your polaris to PC
2) run update utility
3) when you see 3 color screen unplug USB and replug it immediately
4) your SPL flash may start
5) when flash end correctely your polaris reboot
6) Flash any ROM you want

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried doing exactly as you have stated.
Unplug and reconnect in the 3 colour bar screen, after which it goes into the updating screen and sits at 0% for ages until communication error comes up.
My WMDC has disconnected and does not reconnect.
I'm at my wits end!!

Do it from MicroSD, before format it in FAT 32, after rename the file .nbh in POLAIMG.nbh e copy in your microSD, put microSD in Polaris e put it in bootloader ( photo + softreset ) you will see something like IPL, bootloader, SPLASH1, SPLASH2, gsm & OS, press POWER button and wait, it might be long,
never put off microSD, when it finishes soft reset, in the same way you can flash any ROM, always format microSD before.

I think hard-spl can not be installed with sdcard method!

Why not ??? With Trinity you can do it.

cheers guy's for the feedback ,but not sure about the SD method unless someone can confirm it works for Orbit 2/ Cruise.
Somebody out there must have had the same issue as me regards this....what did you do to resolve.
Cheers

But this is not Trinity...Try it...
I know You can flash polaris if you use jumpspl (this is used by hard-spl flash) or hard-spl (this is used by os and radio flash).
But if you have original spl on you pda, and you want to flash with sd card, you will not use nor jumpspl neither hard-spl.

hi there.
try to hard spl with your sd card not in the device.
go in to bootloader mode (BL mode - by pressing down the Camera button, then using the stylus, press and hold the RESET button at the bottom of the phone and release when tricolor screen appears),
now connect the device to your pc (it should show usb in the white part)
flash what you may... hard spl first, oli's recomended by me.

ItayE,
Did you try the hard-spl flash with sd method? Does it work?

I didn't read it was Vista compliant so I ran it from a windows XP SP2 machine with Active Sync 4.5.
I did mine by taking out the SIM card and the SD Card then resettting and running the HardSPL.
HTH

Cheers for the advice guys I have managed to do it.
I used the Hard-SPL-V2 first which worked fine then I flashed to one of A.Serg roms, very nice and quick it is too.
However my reception bars are down to 2 from 4 that I previously had, although the reception seems ok.
Sim: O2 UK
Rom: 1.52.ASerg.4 WWE
The radio version I have is: 1.58.25.14
Now this is were I am confused.
Can I flash the radio Rom without affecting the o/s Rom, I have downloaded a couple of radio rom versions but not sure if you do it the same way as I am scared of over writing something.
Also could anybody advise if they are in UK on O2 which version gives best reception.
Any further advice much appreciated.

D 1.56.00.00
thanks

if you can access bootloader mode, then you can flash back to the stock rom. if you are having connection troubles with your pc, you can also flash back using the sd card method: extract the shipped rom (it's a self extracting exe, with 7zip or winrar, you can right click and extract) and inside you find ruu_signed.nbh, rename that to BLACIMG.nbh and copy it to the sd card. then in bootloader mode, it should show up and give you further instructions.

Ok but the screen is steel dead.any idea.

well, if you finished to flash back your stock rom, radio and spl, and the touch screen still doesn't work, it is apparently one of those cases, where a hardware issue appears at a very strange time, but back to stock, you are ready to get it repaired using the warranty, so it'll probably be free.
