Hi Guys,
Ive just tried to install the "SIM contacts update" from the HTC website.
I went through the install process but at 4% it returned the error: ERROR 294 INVALID VENDOR ID.
I did previously use a goldcard to flash 1.48.405.2 onto my tmobile hd2 and im wondering if this has anything to do with it??
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a workaround?
You can't install this on an operator-branded phone. I had the same problem with my Vodafone HD2. The easiest solution is to use HSPL.
Forgive my ignorance...I'm at my first experience with Windows Mobile and I'm lost among ROMs, Goldcards and whatever.
I purchased an used HD2 from France - it was branded Orange but I received it unlocked and I'm now using it with an italian SIM (wind).
When I tried to install the ROM update (hope it's the right way of calling it) I received the same message ("invalid vender id").... ¿What is it due to? I guess it's got something to do with the fact the phone was originally branded Orange....no further ideas though. And the more I read about "cooked roms" and "golden cards", the more I get confused.
Incidentally: ¿is there any mean of changing the device language?
Thanks a lot in advance and again pardon me for my (temporary) ignorance.

Anyone know how to get around with the Error 300 Invalid update Tool, problem?????
I think we can donate(maybe pay will be appropriate in this case ) to the developers who bring out a fix for it.
My Device gets only into the bootloader mode. When flashing the original ROM from DOPOD SEA WM6 WWE SHIP, it gets to the progress screen and @ 0% the RUU gives the Error 300.
Tried the SD Card flash method also, no luck!
I beleive the CID area is corrupt!!!
I had downloaded a tool to change the splash screen image, didn't used it, but by mistake the EnterBootLoader.exe (SPLJump) got executed and screwed the device
Been through the forum, but no help at all
Any takers?

it may be original rom,but does it have correct cid
1.you can get right rom by registration at manufacturers site
2.you can download one from wiki or forum,but in this case you will have to cid unlock your device,you have to download artemis uspl from artemis upgrading thread and than flash any rom you want,just be carefull to flash a rom that is for artemis,because flashing any other rom will brick your device
3.uspl the device and flash the rom you mentioned

I have the original ship ROM "P800w_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070713", even that fails with the same error message.
My device is already unlocked using the artemis uspl and I have used several ROMs earlier!!!!
anyone with this fix? I am getting the same error on my friends artemis. No help hitherto solved the problem. I wish if someone could really get on to it & get me the solution.

I sent my device to HTC service center and go it resolved. That is the only thing which worked for me after a couple of weeks searching in the forums and no solution. But the HTC SC buggers replaced my device entirely and gave me back an old **** device . So also keep this in mind. you won't be sure, if you get your original device back after the so called repair. HTC SC in India is super *****y, had a bitter experience!
Now I have moved to TD2, know that I was at loss, but am happy to have a shiny new TD2
Service Centre at Mumbai Sucks Big Tym....
HTC service centre at mumbai sucks big time....
they said they can't replair my cell n it has a HARDWARE ISSUE!!!
stupid lasses....
What can we do here getting the same error....
Tried MMC method, nothing!
HOW CAN THERE BE NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM??????????

I have an OEM T-mobile TP2. I just bought it 2 days ago. When I tried to flash it I get " Invalid vender ID" I dont know that the program is looking for but I do need it. None of my GPS software can maintain a good sat lock. help help help!!!
No one know? Anyone with T-mobile TP2 with out of the box ROM ever install this:
" Hotfix to enhance the internal GPS capability in the HTC Touch Pro2 " ???
The file is from HTC:

it's just a radio rom upgrade.
You should instal HardSPL and then you'll be able to flash all rhodium roms (this gps fix as well) without "invalid id vendor" error

So then this means that if we apply this update and later wish to change the radio it would overwrite this patch? Or does it apply separately to something else. The reason im asking this is because if some radios work better with some carriers or in certain locations then it would seem weird (to me) to have 1 catch all Radio that is meant to apply to all Touch Pro 2's. So I feel as if im missing something important.
Dears,
Any one can help me to find a way or a tool to get rid of CID lock,
I can't flash my old ROM to a new one, So please any help or hint?
Thanks in advance
You mean not SIM, but ROM unlock right? If so in ROM section there is a HSPL procedure which will do the trick
Thanks
Thanks mirost1 for your fast response,
Yes it's ROM problem, because when i want to update my old ROM with a new one from the official site of HTC I got this message on my phone when I did the flashing procedure:
Error [294]: invalid vendor ID,
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone please check your update utility
So you think that the HSPL is the only way to get out from this trouble.
Best regards.
Yes, its the only way. When HTC give their phones to service providers, they modify the ROM and lock it, thats why you cant put official HTC rom on this device. When you HSPL the phone you can put whatever ROM you want on it.
Hi
Thanks for your useful information and help
No probs mate
Hi all , my data speed and reception dropped after i put WP7 on my hd2 so i decided to try a new radio on it. My radio is 2.15.50.14 now and had not being giving me problems prior to wp7. it's was excellent on android. i'm trying to flash to 2.12 but every time it starts i get error 244 invalid model id. i searched on the forum but havent been able to find any info on it. What do i need to do? somebody help a brotha out. much appreciated in advance . thanx
Which version of HSPL is on your device? I´m not sure, but if you have a correct Radio ROM RUU, this error should not be there... maybe you must download the file again.
Flash winmo 6.5 then try?
i tried to go back to win mo 6.5 and i get the same error for the device id. could it be because of the hack to make it seem like a hd7. since that is what it says in my phone hd7
Same here I'm not able to flash any ROMS at all since WP7... HELP?

I am 99% sure you´re either having broken files, or you´re trying to flash a wrong ROM (wrong language, non-branded ROM for branded device), deleted HSPL or whatever. I am also 99% sure you didn´t read all the stickies. Please excuse me if my statement feels rude.

Hi
How can I unlocked my mini?
any suggestions?
regards
P.
ever heard of Google ?
Dear tzazapaca, thank you for your time and very helpful information. I need serious advice. I didn't think about paid services.
Thers a program called PSAS which you can use to make what is called an 'HTC gold card' so you will be able to install a stock rom.
Not sure if it works on the mini but does on other devices

Hello,
YOUR release O2 is not it?
I do not know if the hardware of hdmini O2 is equal to hdmini (EUR), but I can tell you that the operating system is very similar. I just finished a COOKED ROM, including ROM ITA, and (O2 ROM). When cooking I have not noticed problems. If so, I think you can just use my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041988
and change only the ROM to unlock, follow my tutorial!
Thanks Oregon64
I tried your method with RUU_Photon_O2_UK_1.38.206.4_Radio_Signed_32.2807.05.06_0.63.05.41_Ship. I get error: 294 invalid vender id. My phone has a simlock on Tmobile UK
Optiker hello,
My nickname is OREGON69, NOT 64! WHY ME ????? 5 ITEMS ALREADY CLEAR
Okay ... We oregon64 +5! Ok??
about your problem, after posting my thread, I found a similar thread (in fact I put the link in my thread) with his O2 system. He solved! As I wrote, you need a 2GB sd card (sandisk I use both on hdmini that on HD2) other can not work. However it seems that there is a way to solve your problem. Use the Search button. I'll write below link for more information your mistake: http://htcwiki.wetpaint.com/page/RUU+Error+List
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_RUU_Error_Codes
.......and that other link I can give explanations: http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/topic/6678-error-294-invalid-vender-id/
If my help you can 'serve, press thanks.
