HTC Herald - computer crashed while updated ROM

Hello, my computer crashed whil i tryed to update ROM on HTC Herald. Now system is not loading, trying update it with ROM i have cause an error "Invalid Vendor ID". So i guess i need the correct ROM. Can somebody help me?
Btw, my device origin is italian. So i guess i need the italian ROM.
Or there is another way to update the ROM?

Hi! Have you resolved your problem? How?
I am in the same situation and looking for italian ROM.
Ciao

There is alreay A thread of someone who was looking for WM5 ITA ROM. But you will not find the original ROM on the internet. You could let someone make a dump for you, but you cannot use an RUU with a ROM dump. And since you have a brick, you can only access the bootloader. So you cannot flash your device. I suggest you wait for the official ROM from HTC, or send your device to HTC Repair Centre... I'm in the same situation (but i need the Dutch RUU) but i will wait for the official ROM!

WM6 upgrade wrong language

Hi,
I have a P3300, I bought in China. It came with an English WM5 rom. I registered the device on the HTC Club Support site to get the WM6 upgrade. So I was very happy that now it came out but then the bummer: it will only let me download the dutch version. No idea why.
So I have to questions: Can I somehow change the language to English after upgrading? Second is it possible to write HTC support to give me an English WWE version instead?
I don't want to install any pirated version that will brick my device, therefore I waited a long time for the official update to come out and now I cannot use it? Neither do I want to install the dutch version (since I do not speak any dutch) and not being able to restore my English one.
Btw, does anyone have an idea why it will only let me download dutch even if my system is English?
Thanks for any help!

English version is fully available on this forum please see the WM6 upgrading topic. the one of TOM CODON is a very good choice.

cyberhoschi:
each htc device is identified with imei (unique number). imei number is linked to country, where device was originally sold.
if after registration on htc, you are presented with dutch rom, then device is dutch. normally, you are not able to buy device with english rom in China. it was re-flashed with engl. rom. in this case, service center already can tell you that you violate the warranty.
what you can do/
- download dutch rom from htc (original rom for your device). good idea if you have wm5 and wm6 handy. this is the rule - before flashing, always have original rom for your device. if things will go bad, you can go back to original rom.
- using uspl, you can re-flash with any rom (almost any, uspl needs some patching).
- if you try to flash dutch device with engl. wm6 htc rom, it will most likely will not flash even with uspl installed. to correct this, you need to extract files with winrar utility from flasher (.exe file, a new rom)
- open .nbh file (one of extracted files) in winhex or other hex editor and modify model id.
example:
if you want to flash dutch device with engl. rom, you will need to modify HTC__001 to code relevant for Holland. alternatevely, you can put 11111111, it should work too.
- save .nbh file.
- perform flashing as you would nornally do.

I need to flash finnish rom HTC_P3300_FIN_3.13.414.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R, and it has
string HTC__I14 starting in address 000001e0h.
My original rom has string HTC__001 in that same spot.
Should the new rom flash successfully if I change HTC__I14 to HTC__001? (Or 11111111)
Am I getting this right?

How can I get and install a spanish rom?

Hello:
I have bought an English P6500 Sedna, i live in Spain and I would like to install a spanish ROM for it. Where can I get the ROM and whats the way to install it?
Thank you very much.

How ironic. I have a spanish ROM and have been looking for a S/N for the english ROM. You can go on the HTC website and download an official spanish version with the following s/n : HT811G300152. Now it would be great if you could give me the english version. You can find it when you remove the battery.

Thank you very much for this number and for your help. Im wating for receiving the Sedna, I suppose in two days more or less I will have it. When I receive Sedna I will give you the english S/N.
Do you know if I need anything more to install this rom? (I have read something about Hard-SPL but I dont know what this is).
Thanks again and I will give you S/N as soon as possible.

The only worry you might have is if your phone is locked and then you would have to crack it. If the phone is unlocked, once you download the original HTC file, you simply have to have your phone charged and connected with activesync, launch the RUU file and bingo.

Nice Xabiman , we meet again !

Hahahaha, yes, World Net is too small for us!!! XD

I have done HardSPL beacuse my Sedna was locked by Orange UK, but I have unlocked it using this site: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ph...05-2_radio_sedna_1-65-27-1-6_signed_ship.html
There is also a downloable English ROM at that site.
After unlocking I have installed Spanish ROM downloaded at official HTC site using Milestheviking´s S/N (thanks again, I have sent you a private msg with my S/N).
Now I have the last ROM for this Phone working perfectly!!!
Thank you very much for yor help.

Good luck and enjoy.

Hi at all,

It's possible install a portuguese rom on a WWE devise

Hello,
in first place sorry for my english. I have a topaz devise that came from Macau and my question is that possible to install the portuguse rom on it? If yes, how???
thanks
cybercocas

someone help me?????

Yes, As long as your device is unlocked then you can install any rom on it (made for the topaz). If someone makes a portuguese rom then you can flash it, or english, or russian, or any other language. The rom just needs to be made for the device.

you will need Hspl for this to work. if you dont have hspl you will simply get an error saying that its an invalid vendor id and ur device will just restart.

Is ther any manual for doing that. How can i get the official portuguese rom? Thank you.

ok i am not responsible for your phone if damaged.
here is the hspl witch can be found on the rom development section for topaz(TD2) follow the instructions on the page below. after you have successfully installed the hspl, u can now install what ever rom u want for topaz. hope this helps

SFR ROM (Vodafone) to HTC ROM ?

Hi everyone,
Initially, I'm French, so sorry for my English
I've bought my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with the official SFR ROM, it's a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.
Today, on the HTC website support page http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=733 , I saw the official update. But when I'm trying to make my serial number in the box, I've a message who says that the download is not adapted for my device, I understand this, because I suppose to wait the official SFR ROM, but I'm fed up waiting...
So I've found a "magic" serial code to download the file , but I know if I want to install this ROM, I'm require to Hard-SPL my HTC TD2.
I'm ready for that, but I'm asking you a question : If I install this ROM, the configurations are they the same as the old SFR ROM ? I've to configure my phone ?
When I'm install a ROM, is it necessarily to install radio ROM ?
Thanx for your help !

I don't understand when you are saying "stock ROM", I just want to install the official ROM which is on the official website.
Or if you know a best similar ROM which is in French, give my his name, because I a bit lost
