Help Needed....Incorrect Vendor ID

Hi guys...I know there have been numerous reports of this kind, but I can't seem to find the answer.
I don't have this problem myself, but another person does and I thought I'd ask Olipro and the rest of the community for some help and clarification. Also hoping this answer can help anyone else who has this issue.
OK, Someone tried to flash WM6 before using the Unlocker. I know...don't say it. Anyway they now have the black screen of death and the tri-coloured bootloader screen, but are still unable to flash WM6 and obviously cannot use the unlocker until they have an O/S to sync with.
Has anybody encountered this and received incorrect vendor ID and found a way out of this scenario? They have an Austrian T-Mobile Ameo UK, so they can't even use the T-Mob 005 ROM for the UK Ameo (which doesn't require the unlocking of ones device).
Any clues peeps? It would really help a fellow owner out. Cheers for any input. Remember even if you said it before and don't want to repeat yourself again, please just cpoy & paste the answer here so it can act as part of the wiki for future incidents of this nature.
Thanks friends.

I got part of the experience. So I will tell what happen to mine AMEO.
due to some software conflict, my WM6 OS got kill. I was stuck in the tri-colour screen as well.
Since my unit was unlocked before, so refreshing (any) ROM solved my problem. (refreshing the ROM doesn't required activesyn running on yr PPC.)
If can't reflash yr ROM due to vendor_id error, I think the best way is to get the origin WM5 ROM (read it out from another same model) and flash it back.
after getting yr origin OS, then u can proceed unlocker and WM6 upgrade.
Hope this can help.

When you bought the device,did you have a CD called ROM update utility or something like that? I have it with my Dopod.

hmm no i dont think so, but i can search my hundred cds
I found a cd with varios programms but no rom update utility so far.

Perhaps you could also advice me how to backup the original rom and install it if possible.
I know somebody else with a ameo. perhaps he can help.

Sorry, I don't have that experience. I would gladly help you if I know how. I'm sure there are many developers especially the ROM cook who know this like the back of their fingers. Come on, give this your guy a hand.

Check Mahmoods page here - http://mahmood1.com/ameo_athena_htcx750_WM6_ROMs.aspx
He has a list of available Roms near the bottom of the page.

Thank you for the link, i downloaded the tmobile rom but it didnt work i think because its not german.
Wrong vender id error. I need the original german rom to restore my machine and i think then i can update it.
Any german guys reading this? Somethere it must be avaible. or can somebody tell me how to extract rom from machine, becaue a friend of mine has the ameo too.

Having X01HT's loose keyboard repaired by Softbank

Hi guys,
I'm having some trouble to get my X01HT's loose keyboard repaired by Softbank in Japan. My device is under warranty but they said HTC refused to repair it because I installed some software (they just mentioned that my device was in English) - I only have Asukal's MUI running on it. They weren't specific, so I did a hard reset right in front of the attendant and told her that it was restored to factory's default, so she took it back and sent to repair one more time.
My concern is that I installed an extended rom that I got from this forum and I didn't know how to remove it, so just after the hard reset the extended rom installed some stuff. Just in case, can you guys tell me how to remove the extended rom stuff that I installed? If SB tells me they can't fix my phone again, then I intend to delete that extended rom files and try another hard reset to have my pretty loose keyboard fixed.
I also unlocked SIM with Pof's solution but I don't think that's a problem regarding warranty. CID? Nope, I haven't done anything about it, yet.
Soon I want to upgrade it to WM6 in order to use SDHC 6GB and really have it SIM free, because, though I unlocked the SIM, SB's rom still locked a SIM from France for instance, I haven't tried other SIMs but for sure they're gonna be locked. damn
Tks for reading me and in advance tks heaps for your help!

No answers???
It's been a week that I posted and got no answers...

HTC will not repair your device since you are not running the htc software. When you flash another rom you void your warranty. There are ways to reflash to an original rom version. Please refer to the wiki for this.

Upgrading for newbie

I have installed a lot of crap on my pharos, removed some of it, but now its slow and drains the battery
So I was thinking; why not upgrade to Poldo's 6.1 rom? Only thing I don't quite know how to... After a lot of reading this is how I think I should do it - please correct me if I'm wrong!
1. Contacts and mail are synced with my computer, but not my sms' - how can I copy mys sms' to my computer?
2. Since my Pharos has Norwegian wm6, I'd like to be able to restore them if I don't like 6.1. The best way to backup my wm6 will be to do a hard reset (to rid of all clutter) and then follow this thread: Dumping a ROM from pharos. Raw to nbh? -> ESN & ITA original ROMs here Correct?
3. In order to flash a new rom I must sspl or whatever that may be..? Instructions in this thread: [SSPL & USPL] Flash any ROM to your Pharos Correct?
4. My phone should then be ready for upgrading and as far as I can see there are two roms available from Poldo964 and one from tom_codon. Which one of them is best? (by best I would prefer it to be fast and not drain battery fast).
5. How do I flash the new rom? do I need to "format" the phone first, or can I just flash the new rom like installing any other program?
5. Since the roms are WWE English I need a Norwegian keybord layout (containing letters æ,ø and å), and Norwegian dictionary (XT9?). Will this work? (26/06-08) HTC Diamond keyboards Final update If not; is there a norwegian keyboard and xt9 I could use out there?
As far as I understand it, this is the way to go, but I need confirmation/correction so i don't end up with a paperweight.
Or... Is there someone in here who could cook a Norwegian 6.1 rom?

even if you brick your phone you can send it in for repairs to HTC but they will tell you that (by flashing) you voided your warranty and will charge you for the repair.
at least thats what i have understood, maybe a more experienced user can comment on that.

I suppose so, and that was the reason I wrote this post; to avoid bricking, and to be sure I'm doing things right - I struggeled 2 nights with this animated weather panel etc before I gave up

why don't you just do the hard reset, without flashing a new ROM? I personally wouldn't flash the phone without enough knowledge or a person by my side who knows what to do... I still hope HTC by themself bring a ROM update, for all the languages
Other Question - on my pharos, TomTom was pre-installed. [bought it from a friend] - if I play another ROM on it - TomTom would be lost? - The problem is, my friend lost the activation code for the tomtom ^^

I Hav tt6 preinstalled, but I still have my activation code. I guess this will not cause me any problems..?

For tomtom activation, the activation "file" is on the memory card, so you won't lose it. Also, if you have the tomtom card included with the pharos package, you can request it again.

at tomtom directly? customer care?

Just before this post goes totally ot; If some experts could verify/clarify/correct my "recipe" in the first post I would be very happy!

vashi, through ttcode.com
1caspian,
1. To backup sms take a look here, PIM backup -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
2. A hardreset doesn't restore your original rom, you have to dump it before flashing it, you can find how to do it in that thread
3. You will need a unlocked CID, the best way is USPL/Hard SPL
4. It is personal, I prefer poldo ones, but you can try the two.
5. Connect throught activesync and follow the pc application
6. That diamond keyboard is only a skin, sorry no idea about this, maybe resco keyboard?
bye

Thanks a lot jose_sonseca!
A few questions still before I start...
2. If I dump the rom, and reflash it, do I then get a clean rom? Or is there another way of restoring the original rom?
What can go wrong in the process, and what are the consequences?

If you reflash your dumped rom, you will get your pda like it came to you, with all the original OEM apps like camera album, tomtom...
If the process have any error, you will have to reflash it in bootloader mode, so it's better to use hard SPL

I did a hard reset, installed HHC and pocket cm. Now it works wery well, and I think i'll wait with upgrading. Thanks for help anyway

How many of us have successfully flash WM6.5

Well
how many of us have successfully flash WM6.5?
is it advisable to flash it?

Personally I am happy with SPB Mobile Shell 3. The I am not interested in another WinMo version until 7, which will need another phone.

GPS performans with WM6.5
Flashed with Tommy34's ROM with WM6.5.
Very happy that my GPS fixing -boring- delay is fully resolved.
I almost believed in my Device have had a hardware defect, then realized it is none..
I have got one single trouble that SKYPE WinMobile v2.5 can not be installed..
I will try v3.0 Beta ASAP I am able to download..
***Edited***
Beta v3.0 works out..

I installed tommy34 cHome 0.4 ROM and I'm very happy with it. My gps finally works too...and the phone is more response in general.

I have not been able to flash my phone.
I am using Vista and when I try and flash the rom on the phone, I get:
Vista has found new hardware (I think it was a CDMA Driver)

I've flashed WM6.5 (can't remember which version I used), and I thought all was going well, until I tried to sim unlock it. The phone is 2 months old, with Orange branding, and had the horrible Orange Unique Manager, which is why I wanted to flash the phone, and I assumed the phone was simlocked. After I flashed it, I bought a Sim Unlock Code, but when I put a 3 sim card in, I didn't get the expected "Enter SIM Unlock Code" prompt. Instead I just get "No Service" displayed on the home screen with the exclaimation mark at the top where the signal strength is displayed. I've also tried with an (active contract) T-mob Sim, and a Tesco Mob Sim. Same thing, I don't get the prompt to be able put the unlock code in.
I can't help thinking it's because I've flashed the phone, it seems like there's something preventing the Enter SIM Unlock Code dialog from coming up. Is there anyone else with this problem, or a solution? What ROMs are people using that they have sucessfully SIM unlocked their phones with?
Thank you!

So does it still work with an Orange Sim?

I have flashed my Orange UK Jade with various flavours of WM6.5, all with good results, currently using a version cooked by PDAVIET, with no issues.

Guys, is it possible to flash to Windows 6.5 then flash again to 6.1 if all doesn't go well?

just wondering but are PDAVIET, Ironeagle and Tommy34s version of wm 6.5 all have 8gb micro sd support. And also which would you recommend as the best.

I flash 6.5 German and ist is working grate.
I used
Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Installed
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00
And MUI 407 files from erviuskitchen german kittchen.
And installed only th programms that i need.
Only i need Thai caracters in sms. It is not possible to change the thaom font to a full wich Asiatic caracters. installed msss.tff and change all to it, but manila sms does not take care about font change in sms/messages...
I tryed to coock a rom usin erviuskitchen german kittchen wich only changing tahoma font. but all roms i cooked with it are getting instable after 2 dayes. My favorite navigation system wich german and Asien maps does not start afer 3 times anymore.
Si i stick nearly fully satisfyed with the Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1

Hi,
I got my HTC since 2 mounth, and i really want to test WM6.5, but i must say that i'm a little afraid about flashing my phone.
I've read the "flash for n00bs" post, and it seems that there is a way to "flash-back" your phone to a factory version, am I right...?
By the way, if i want to use my waranty, can i "flash-back" my phone ?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks guys !
Eizig from France

Hello,
I am from Brazil and bought my Touch 3G about two months ago. It came with WM 6.1.
Last week I successfully applied the "Hard SPL 2.33 by Olinex" and then Flashed it with "Touch3G__WM6.5__2_33_721_17__B23033_WWE" ROM from PDVIANET.
Everything is running fine. The only comment is that we really need to disabled the 3G (H) network and run just with Edge (E) in order to save some battery. Other than that I recommend everybody to upgrade to WM 6.5
