Urgent help required: Rom update

Provider: Orange
Country: UK
I entered my serial on the HTC site and could not download the rom update. Therefore I downloaded using another UK serial obtained from this site.
When installing the rom update, i get the following error
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID
I have just looked on my phone and it shows the rom version to be 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE. This looks to me like a Danish one. God know why I would have a Danish rom but just wondering if anyone can help me make an upgrade bearing in mind I know absolutely zero Danish?

surely you should be able to do it by changing the spl?
I haven't got my HTC touch yet but its in the wiki on how to change it....

Thanks! I will have a look at changing the SPL when I get a chance later today. I spoke with HTC and they do not support my phone because it has been 'branded' by Orange. There's very little chance Orange will provide upgraded roms anytime in the next zillion years.
Anyone in a position to compare the new upgraded rom vs dutty's rom ? If Dutty one is still far superior, then I might as well just install that. My HTC HD is still a virgin when it comes to Roms

Restoring O2 ROM

Hi
Sorry if this is a newb question and I've missed something obvious.
I'd like to upgrade an O2 branded hd2 to the generic latest ROM using the goldcard method described here. I understand this invalidates the warranty.
Is there any way of restoring the phone to its original state to circumvent this?
Thanks.

I would like to know this as well as im thinking of sending back my HD2 to o2 but cant as ive upgraded to 1.48.
Or is it worth sending back as it is now and then play dumb if they contact me to tell me its not got the original stock rom?

im with T-Mobile and upgrade it on ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - Radio: 2.05.51.05_2 last weeks and never had any prob yet and sim card works fine

Dump your ROM before upgrading. For how to do that search on the forum.

I'm also with O2, & they told me that as long as the ROM is an official one from the HTC website this won't invalidate your warranty
Not sure what the policy is with T-Mobile though

I did find a O2 rom on here somewhere, cant remember where, I havent used it yet, but im uploading it to rapidshare now and will provide a link. So if anything does go wrong you can just flash back to the O2 rom to be on the safe side.
I have returned a phone to O2 before that was HSPLed and they never said anything, but they sent out a new phone and picked up the old one at the same time.

O2 Rom...

HTC Hero Orange UK - Unlocking

Hello,
I had my orange uk untouched up to last week.
I decided to install FroydVillain 1.1.1
Everything is fine however but i decided to unlock the phone.
I got a code proper unlock code bought on ebay.
I put o2 sim card and I was asked for unlock code. I put new the code which I got and I get message Network unlock successful however o2 card doesnt register to o2 network. I cannot even manually select the network.
I know that there was a problem with orange roms and unlocking however I heard that if I install custom rom it should be fine.
Does any one know if FroydVillain 1.1.1 has got same bug for unclocking like the original orange rom.
Please advise how can I unlock the phone with froyo
thanx Martin

Is the O2 sim a freebie you got through the post?!.... If it is old, it may have expired. I think they have to be topped up within 6 months or something.

If you got "Network unlock successful" it should be fine,... try another sim.

It may well have the same bug as some orange roms, the only way I know of to be certain of a successfull unlock is to flash orange rom 2.73.61.66 dated 2010/02/04 from the htc uk site.
You could then re-root after unlocking.

Failing that, try flashing villainrom 12 temporarily, as I've not tried unlocking on FroydVillain yet.

I tried v12 and it worked
Now i'm back to froyod

Radio Stuck on old version

Hi,
I flashed Ansar's Vodafone AU rom (after stuffing up my backup), way back and was able to update to nodo, mango and 8107 through regular zune update.
However, my radio is still stuck on the old version and have not received any updates. Is this normal? I presumed the radio updates would have come through with the OS update?
Please halp!

I forced the 8107 update last week and still got a radio update last night.
I have version 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U
What version is yours?
I have a european GSM trophy.

My radio & boot loader is really OLD. I got the Voda AU 7.10.8107.79 update via Zune, but rest is still as follow
Radio software: 5.50.09.15.22.23.50.09U
Bootloader: 1.8.2250.1 (109634)

Plug your phone into Zune and check for updates on it. I didn't get an alert on my phone for the new radio but it was available through zune.

Tried that already. Any other way to force it?
Possibly its not coming through because I have voda brandaded, but non-stock Ansar rom?

Btw, anyone know if the Aus radio rom is same as Europe?
Tempted just to flash the Europe HTC update

Unless you really need the update (8107 update is enough) then i'd just leave the phone alone. I only updated because it popped up.
