Hi, my question is : how can i unlock my phone when i have only access to the bootloader.
My phone freezes on second splash screen and i can't put a new firmware cause it's locked (294 invalid vender id). Thanks a lot. ++
not that i know of
also vendor id have nothing to do with sim lock
kinda trikcy for people to help you when you give no info about
what device or rom you use or try to use
the flash exe often comes in versions with _noID.exe in the end thats a good step on the path to flashing with a rom by another operator
Hi, I've got an HTC Mteor mobile phone
I had Firmware 1.32 and i tried to upgrade with 1.34. But firstly i must upgrade the SPL by v1.09. After that i tried to upgrade with 1.34 and i have always the same error : 294 Invalid vender ID.
I tried several roms (1.13, 1.32, 1.34) and i have always the same problem.
I tried also to upgrade the phone by putting the rom on my SD card (BREEIMG.nbh) but it doesn't work (error : not allow).
I don't know what to do. Thanks a lot for your help. ++
Hi, does anyone have an idea about my problem ? Thanks a lot. ++
Hi, nobody can help me ? My mteor isn't working anymore. Please help !

I have an HTC S620.
Its ROM Version is 1.11.405.4
I would like to know how to update the rom version so i can install the T-Mobile WM6 Upgrade on it.
Thx.

already discussed at length. just read up on it here after you cid unlock your phone.
What if your phone is already CID unlocked & it still won't load? That is what is happening to me.........
Phone (HTC s620) is SIM & CID unlocked by GSM liberty & it still gives me the "invalid vendor ID" error. VERY frustrating!

No...it won't even allow me to flash with the bootloader...."invaild vendor ID" Aaaagggghhh..............paid $38 for this!!
I can upgrade/downgrade "AT WILL" by following the info at this post !!

NOTE: ... Step # 3 is a must whether you are upgrade or downgrade !!! ... always run it before executing the OS ROM !!!
... substitute step #4 with the ROM of your choice !!

Hello XDA Friends!
I have done 2 solid nights of reading now - not to say I am in the least bit an expert, but this is my second experience with flashing htc phones (previously had a htc wizard). I am not a complete newb, but I have a few unanswered questions before i jump in balls deep.
1) After searching the forums, I have found that I seem to have a (rare) ROM version - 1.93.422.4 WWE to be exact. It is the stock US 3G GSM ROM. It appears that others have (after hardSPL) successfully flashed their Diamonds accordingly with European versions. I went to HTC's website and registered my Diamond and they told me that they do not have a down-loadable version of their ROM (an official HTC ROM) for the 3G US version. HTC simply does not make a version for US 3G that they release.
-"Unfortunately, after some checking on our website with your serial numbers, we have found that currently there is no ROM update for your devices. From our experience, there is almost never an update developed for unlocked US GSM devices. The way we release our updates is we develop them first (after receiving the operating system from Microsoft). Then the carrier or vendor takes the update and modifies it to fit their policies and we release it. Unfortunately, the vendor that usually sells unlocked US devices does not complete the last step." -HTC
This concerns me as this is my fallback in the event things do not go so well for me while flashing. SOOOO all that said, does anyone have a copy of the ROM lying around for my backup benefit!?!
2) Can anyone with a US diamond verify that they are indeed running with a cooked ROM (and be so kind as to suggest which one they prefer?). Obviously its trial and error, but stability and speed are high on the priority list (stock is SOOOO SLOOOW)!
3) The hard reset is confusing me. HTC rep said that if i do a hard reset that it will restore the device to factory settings, thus no need for me to download a ROM to restore the device (i obviously did not tell him i was looking into cooked ROMS!).
-" As far as a ROM that would restore the device, you would simply need to do a hard reset in the even that the ROM became corrupt. This would restore the device to factory defaults. " - HTC
This would indicate that the ROM is somewhere on the internal 4gb storage and copies itself back to the ROM. Is this erased when upgrading ROMS or becomes unavailable after going to hardspl? or would i still have the option to hard reset (take the red pill) and wake up believing that my dance with cooked ROMS was a dream!?!?
Thanks for all your help - fire away - I have thick skin. I'm sure someone will point out my lack of research skills ;p
Long live Xda,
-Nate
I have an unlocked US GSM also. I also tried to get it off the site and it said it was not for my device...
HTC support is pretty much useless, I called and they told me over the phone that my phone wont run WWE roms and that i needed US roms and i told them thats funny because it came preloaded with 1.93WWE.
Anyways The New official rom will work on your phone and its allot faster than the 1.93
First the Hard SPL i used this.
I use this RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
And if you want the official 2.03 WWE ROM its here
Want this one
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
I haven't used any cooked ROMS yet so i cant help you out there
Awesome - thanks for the info - that was exactly what i was looking for! Yea... the fact that it says WWE in the ROM is completely contradicting - HTC tech support doesn't seem to know whats going on.
Have you tried the hard reset since you loaded the new ROMs? does it revert to 1.93?
Thanks again for posting,
-Nate
ok all,
flashed to hardSPL olinex 1.40, confirmed in the bootloader, tried to flash to 2.03WWE (as referred to me from above) and it gives me:
Error [244] : invalid model ID
This update utility cannot be used for your pda phone. please check your update utility.
OK. from reading i gather this is because something is wrong with hardSPL? what hardSPL should i use? Or is it another issue entirely?
thanks,
-Nate
btw - after hardSPL, and hard reset, everything on the internal storage is there
perhaps i need to be more specific. When i enter the bootloader, it says:
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
what the bible says it should say is
Hard SPL 1.40.Olinex
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
Does this mean that it did not upgrade correctly? Any ideas? Im trying win 1.37 OliNex
again it says in the bootloader
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.37.OliNex
lets me get all the way to 99% and then fails with
Error 270 :update error
The image file is corrupt. please check your update utility.
I need some help guys. Starting to get a little frustrated do you have to update the radio rom before it will take the main rom?
-Nate
Ok, next update. Could not get any of the olix hard SPLs to work. I have tried to upgrade to hardSPL 1.24 per this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
only problem is that the phone does not ever boot into windows. When i go into the bootloader, it still shows olix 1.37 hard SPL. I have tried re-downloading the file. So far it gets to 100% of the ROM flash and then throws the error 270. Any thoughts?
I never had this problem but on the page were you got the ROM they say if your having issues installing through the update utility to do this.
Rename ..NBH file to DIAMIMG.nbh
Copy to Internal Storage
Soft Reset + Hold volume down button + back button <--
Follow instructions on screen
Anymore problems just read this through the thread were you got the ROM your not the only one who got the "corrupted 270 error".
But flashing it from the storage card should work . ..Goodluck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
Ok all,
I have had a hell of a time getting a rom that will install. I could repeatedly get to the bootloader without a problem, and every rom i flashed after installing olinex 1.37 allowed me to get all the way to 100% but would then tell me that the rom was corrupt.
I downloaded and installed Shaks rom, version 3.20 from
http://diamond.geg0r.de/index.php?dir=Shaks/V3.20/
AND ITS BACK INTO WINDOWS!!!!!! thanks GOD!
I will report on further issues i have with the device.
-Nate
When I try to burn the 2.03 WWE ROM mentioned onto my stock US Diamond I get: Error 294: Invalid Vendor ID.
Any ideas what I need to do? I did not change the SPL - must I do that?
I read through the referenced threads and see where people with Error 270 need to put the image file onto internal storage but I have been hesitant to try that since it for Error 270 and not necessarily Error 294.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Here is the Rom only if anybody wants to flash it. You will not get the invalid ID error.

Thanks for everybody's help. Burning the new SPL did the trick.
Have tweaked everything pretty much back to how I like it and am quite happy with the new ROM. My only complaint is that I prefer the larger Compact QWERTY keypad of the 1.93 ROM since I have fat fingers. I know that I can dig that keypad up elsewhere but I'll try to get used to the new one first.
Thanks again.
Hi all,
How to upgrade rom via bootlaoader menu (after pressing the camera and hardreset)? If it's possible could you tell me which ROM i can use to upgrade a HTC advantage x7500/ATHENA-C9 with these info on bootloader menu:
ATHE100
IPL-v1. 00
ATHE100
SPL-v1. 07. 0000
Thanks for help!
Hi marius
I read your other post today and seeing no one else has replied , I will try to help you.
Have you tried a hard reset ?
If you have and had no luck , try to find an original shipped rom consistent with your spl and flash while in bootloader .
Don't try to flash any of the doctored roms, either spl 1.2 or 3.5 as you will not be able.
It is a long time since I have used the unlocker but I think if you read through the later posts , the authors used a wrapper program that requires an initial activesync connection to work.
I will look in here occasionally to see if you get it sorted or you can pm me if you have a question.
regards michael
Hello Lakeman,
if i write you it's because i read your reply below and i'm very happy.
1rst, i tried hard reset but it didn't work.
In fact, here is my story:
My HTC x7500 crashes after startup so i can't use it but when i tried to flash it i received the error 294:Invalid Vendor Id because i used the wrong ROM. where can i get it please?
Many thanks!
I asume you already read the Wiki, if not here it is!:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
I´m sure it can help you a lot
Good luck,
hi all,
thank you orb3000, i read the wiki and i found in the ATHENA x7500 manual that it's possible to Upgrade OS through SD Card in bootloader menu but it seems like the download OS image link http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO is no longer available. Please could someone help me found it?
Thanks a lot!
Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my HTC x7500 via SD card using a .nbh file found in ap3.rar
but it didn't work. After enter in the bootloader, it displays "loading..." and "00068002" and after few seconds it's going back to the colored screen displaying the Rom version 1.07.0000
What does the "0068002" mean? i suppose it's an error code.
Please could somebody help me get a image file version earlier than 1.07.0000?
thnks!

Hi marius
I assume you read
[/QUOTE]
Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset.
[/QUOTE]
sometimes sd flashing wont work with an sdhc card
but in any case you have not unlocked the rom yet.
You need spl 1.2 to flash the ap3 rom
I cant remember if you are the guy trying to find a dutch rom but try and find an original rom for your athena and then flash that.
once it is working you can apply the unlocker and then flash any rom
Hi lakeman,
Unfortunately i can't use the spl 1.2 to unlock my HTC X7500 because it crashes just after startup (when displaying desktop) preventing me from using. Is there a possibility to use the spl 1.2 via the miniSD card? I'm not using the sdhc card.
Thanks for help!
hi again
youmust unlock the athena before flashing an spl1.2 rom
you can flash your original rom from the bootloader menu to get a working rom ,
once you have done this you can use the unlocker and then flash any 1.2rom
Hi,
i tried to flash my ROM with this: Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship found in the Wiki but it failed, i received ERROR 294: INVALID VENDOR ID. i get this error many times while trying to flach my ROM.
My ROM version is 1.07.0000, please do you know where i can find the same version or one which will work?

Marius you need to get the original language rom that came with your athena
I don't know for sure but i think spl 1.07 is the dutch rom which is nowhere to be found at present
i suggest doing a search for this or contacting htc or the original supplier of your phone.
Alternatively post a request in xda but I would do it in the general section to get a wider audience
Hello,
Thanks Lakeman. I tried to get it from HTC Support in vain, as you recomended, i'll post a new thread on xda concerning the spl1.07 (my ROM language is English not dutch).

I had another thought.
Have you tried flashing the dopod roms from here
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Athena/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
or does your machine have tmobile branding , in which case you could try the tmobile roms

Hi all , I was just trying to flash my radio from 1.13 to 1.16 .... The progress bar goes to 100% and then theres an error coimng up that FLASH WRITE ERROR and my diamond reboots to bootloader mode and displys the message " Upgrade ROM code error . Please try again... Any help ....
Is it not because you are trying to flash a radio that isn't compatible with your device?
Have you Security unlocked your phone?
Did you follow the tutorial? It said you need to install hardspl first. If not, then there's your problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
Follow this to the letter.
This can happen if the radio isn't compatible with your device or is security locked. Try a different radio that isn't security locked and you should be good, don't worry you haven't bricked the phone!
