I'm expecting my new phone from China very soon. What problems I will be facing with it's ROM (which I don't know what is it)?
Will I be able to use Hard-SPL to flash with English ROM?
Please advice ASAP before I get it.
All this info should be available quite readily without the need for a new thread. Do a quick search

Dear All,
I spent a lot of hours, days, reading the posts on the forum about the Universal and upgrading it. I didn't find some answers.
I still have some open questions that I request your help in order to have a safe upgrade.
I have a Qtek 9000, that is SimLock.
I would like to Upgrade to an AKU 3.5 ROM or to one Crossbow ROM ( still under assessment)
Now my questions:
To upgrade,
I will have to upgrade bootloader, because since Aku 3.2 Rom , it needs to be 1.01. That is clear.
Edit: Opsss tried bottloader for first time and my version is 2.01 So no bootloader upgrade, but new question:
Sim Unlock works with bootloader 2.01?
1 - Do I need to SIMUNLOCK before ROM or Radio ROM upgrade? If yes:
- I will need an oficial radio ROM. Which one? Are 1.13 or 1.14 is OK?
- Must I first Simunlock and only after upgrade the bootloader?
2 -Country Code error, what is it? (Solved)
Edit : About Country error, no specific answer, but i got almost what I looked for.
Thx you all for the hard work and colaboration on this site.
Cheers

I'm afraid you didnt took your best sshot at searching, cuz 3 or 4 post above yours is a topic called "problems with upgrading?"
in this topic you will find the info AND tools you need to succesfully upgrade..
I don't know about the simlock thing, i flashed mine with the simlock on, to a cooked rom, and it works, but don't blame me if it F*CKS up your mobile i suggest that you do a bit of research in that part..
Country id error:
You get that when you try to install a rom that is from a different manufacturer/country then yours, to solve this problem look at this link
(the link to the forementioned topic)

I know how to solve the country error, I just would like to get more info about it.
About the other post, I will look for it, but when i made search ( last time was the last week) I didn't find the answers i look for.
Since I looked and didn't find it could you please provide a link? ( sorry)
Thx for your help.
Hi,
1. I agree with bastiaanoskam cause I think almost any question about upgrading the Universal has been answered before in this forum.
2. I don't see the need to unlock your device if you don't want to change your current provider.
3. As far as I understand the country error is due to a change in the original language for which your device was thought (look for MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe) i.e. you have a Japanese device and want to upgrade to WWE version.
4. About the bootloader, I just saw one ROM that is said it requires to upgrade your bootloader to 1.01, it was a preview AKU3.2 from i-mate but I don't really know if the upgrade is really needed. I have read it's not needed for Crossbow and also for custom cooked AKU3.5 but again every new cooked ROM usually has a thread so you can find answers there.

1 - I do agree that there is a lot of info about the upgrade process, I just didn't find the answer for what I'm looking for.
2 - I didn't find a post where is stated that the device should be unlock to install the new ROM, but I also din't find the oposite, so my doubt.
3 - It seems that I should try first and if I get the error, go for the alternative method. I woul like to jump this step, but if there isn't other way, well, that's life
4 - Maybe it's a bad interpretation on my side of the wiki post. Porbably only some I-mate based roms need the bottloader upgrade.
thx for the help
Hi,
I have a problem and after doing a massive research I found this forum and I am wondering if someone could help me.
I have been trying to locate ASUS P550 for several weeks now and although it's sold in the UK as Vodafone v1520, it's modified for branding purposes and no good. At least I think it's not good. After talking to ASUS support I found out that the model is also for sale in Russia and Ukraine as ASUS P550, but unfortunately the WM6 on these devices is Russian.
Before deciding on buying the device I wanted to know if it would be possible that someone with the necessary skills and knowledge would be willing to try to change the language to English. I noticed that someone has done something similar for previous ASUS models like the P535. What I had in mind was that I would buy the device, export the ROM image and let somebody have it for modyfying / testing.
I have to say that I don't know much about smartphones and/or PDA-s besides what I have read and that is that the language cannot be changed simply by a push of a button like a normal person would expect. I also don't know much anything about ROMs or handling them, therefore I don't know whether it's possible to modify the ROM at all without the specific device in hand.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nobody knows nothing?
OK, I guess I am in a wrong message board.
I would have paid - and I still would - $100 for this.
I have the vodaphone version v1520 I am not sure what the difference is to the native version but its a great phone very fast and stable.
what do you think the other does that is advantageous and can I help clarify anything at all.
Thank You for your input. The answer to Your question is actually that after read some threads about the Vodafone branding I don't think that one or the other has any advantages over the other anymore. I just could not get my hands on the v1520 (which is English of course) while I was posting this thread. But now I got one from ebay and it is delivered tomorrow. So no need for ROM cooking anymore.
Thanks again.
Ok mate
If you find anywhere to learn and get cooked roms for the device let me know I have searched and searched but cant find anywhere.
the device is good but cooked roms always are better than shipped roms.
I cant seem to find a forum on the device with anyone doing anything with it..
If you know anything at all pm me or post here
Cheers
ps if I learn anything I will let you know
OK, deal. What I was told in another forum was that since the device is so new and there isn't yet an official ROM outthere it's quite too soon to expect to see a cooked ROM. It just takes time probably.

Actually there isn't any good information in this forum that You have posted, for example in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393647 - You promised to share details if anyone was interested and there was lot of people interested, the only thing missing was fulfillment of Your promise. Even after I sent many PM to You, You didn't reply or post anything. That is currently the case.

Dear all,
I already tried the search function but couldnt quite find the answer I am looking for.
I have a HTC Diamond with a german ROM on it. When I download and try to install an international version (english) and 'update' the rom. It hangs after only 1%. And then I need to hard reset to get it working again.
I know I need to somehow remove HTC protection in order to update with a different regional ROM.
Could somebody please tell me what I need to do (in detail if possible)?
Thanks a million,
Will

First do this: link then search for your poison here.
Then throw in some Radios.

I downloaded from htcpedia.com and from htc.com with such serial and none of them doesn't work on my device. I obtain the error "Invalid Vendor ID".
I requested support from HTC on theyr web site but thy don't solved the problem yet.
cdubalaru its the same for me.

There are different WWE editions. Mine is from the SEA region so I have to download it from that site. Yours might be from the SEA region or maybe HK. There might be another one.

No you dont ... this one is an official one.
i d/l with changed SN but then i get INVALID VENDER ID notice....
...
hey you guys...
you need hard-spl i think...
because the upgrades available are not suitable for your device (that's the same problem i have, because there is no german upgrade out yet and in order to use the english one i need hard-spl...problem is loosing warranty...so keep waiting for the rom in your language...)
cya
I have the same problem. My TP2 SN is European but still i can't download the upgrade and when i try to download the older upgrade that released on 4/08/09 it download without any problem.. Something strange!!
Any Idea??...
Hi all:
Just got my Tilt2 yesterday from Negri electronics....very happy with the quality of it but hated the stock AT&T ROM. Just some questions I am hoping the experts here can help me out.
The phone came unlocked....if I attempt to flash it to another WWE ROM will the phone be re-locked?
I also need chinese input as well and currently I have CEstar 2.8 installed. Is there any other options to have chinese input instead?
Thanks!
K
no as to unlock
don't know answer to chinese

I don't have any answer for Chinese input. For flashing a different WWE ROM, you MUST flash HardSPL FIRST. Don't even try to flash any other ROM before flashing HardSPL. First you need to read and follow all the instructions mention in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
If you have any questions about the HardSPL ask in that thread.
For the WWE ROM's you can check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Thanks guys! I am more concerned about the sim unlock.....I'll check for a WWE ROM from taiwan and hopefully that will have chinese input....otherwise I just use a english ROM and go with CESTAR.
Thanks again.
just remember to READ THROUGH the threads linked above and Hard SPL first or else it's the end of the world!!! For sim unlock, there are many like olipro who will unlock it for a price or if you're an ATT customer with good standing, you can just call them and they'll give you a sim unlock code. I do that for every phone I get - and that's free.
