help wanted flashing mda 4 back 2 stock rom - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my mda compact 4 and for that reason i would like to send it back.
I flashed the device with the rom panosha 1.6 and got the spl 1.40.
Now when i want to flash back to the original stock t-mobile rom, it gives an error on 1% which says "this update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. please check your update utility"
I tried several other roms and they all work when i flash them.
i've downloaded the dutch t-mobile stock rom from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/1324381...iamond_52.26a.25.09_Radio_1.00.25.03.rar.html
when i extract this rom to a new folder it doesn't come with an update utility only the nbh file maybe this is the problem?
Hope someone can help me out..much thanks in advance

you have to put RUU on the same folder then you can flashi it.

I tried that already..it works with all other roms.
But the stock t-mobile rom is the only one that gives the error at 1%

I think the SPL causes your problem. The file you mentined is with OS, radio and SPL, so you have have two possibilities:
1. flash back the original SPL
2. flash the stock ROM without radio and SPL
For both possibilities you need to download the necessary filed. I don't know where to find the dutch stock one, but try SPL here:

But take care: Read before you flash

Thanks for the reply.
The rom file i downloaded is the only one i can find for stock t-mobile NL. Is there a way to remove the radio and SPL out of the stock rom with radio and SPL?
So that i can try the second possibility''flash the stock rom without radio and SPL
And is there a way to found out what the original SPL on the mda compact 4 was, or is that just trying?
did the flash to the SPL 1.34 and after that i could flash the stock rom.
many thanks !!

thnx for the info i needed this too in case something goes wrong i want to flash t mobile nl rom back

Malysian Hero please explain

Dear Expers of Hero my Hero has Asia rom 728 which is don't have market icon installed.
I have 2 quesions.
1st should I install market apk and keep this rom?
2nd is there any way to flash another original no touched rom WWE from this forum download section let say RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.66_WWE_test_signed_NoDriver to this one as I tried with flasher it came it gaves error when chegking signature.
Please explain me if there is good way to do that to change WWE version and keep coming later updates on that version.
Thanks in advance
Google phones in certain areas of the world, mainly asia etc Do not have google apps installed.
Not sure why but it is the fact of the matter.
As far as I know the best thing you can do is install a custom rom with market included.
It doesn't matter what rom you install as you can always install a proper rom back anyway, and all official roms with do a full wipe of your phone.
So you can take the dive and go for any custom rom you want, it maeks no difference and will give you better perfomance (usually) and google apps.

In reply to the above
You can get a custom rom the same version as you already have installed, unzip the img file using 7zip etc on your computer and copy the vendor.apk file to your memory card and install it using Astro file manager and see if that will does the trick and also you could install market enabler.

There are modified versions of those .exe in .zip format availiable if not on xda site then defiantely on htcpedia.com but I am sure they must be here on xda somewhere.

I meant modified only to the extent it has been made into a .zip that you can flash. Not that it has been changed.

Yes, but you need to create a Goldcard to bypass the CID checks.

Ok can you give me link to tutorial where it shows how to make goldcard and what to do after that because now my phone have RA recovery and I can flash every rom from my card. I need to use RUU flasher and not get error in midddle thanks

First flash

I have an UK o2 XDA Ignito and would like to know how to flash a custom rom to this phone. I have already flashed my HD2, would this be in the same way? If so I would assume I would need hspl for the Ignito before flashing a custom rom but I've not been able to find it yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it the same as flashing hd2. HardSPL you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=101134&d=1216793074
The steps are, copy diamimg.nbh to / of internal Storage, do the HardSPL (link), after that hit the volume down and Baskspace and simultaneous press reset and folow the on-screen instructions, and after the flash do hard reset (volume down+OK and simultaneous reset...
That is in brief description of the whole process.
After the flashing the rom be careful to also flash the radio, I prefer 1.09.25.03 and install appropriate rilphone (search XDA radio thread for this). The process of flashing is almost the same as doing hardSpl.
Also before flash of every rom but not for the first flash try to do MTTY to avoid strange problems, if you wish...
Good luck

[Q] Problem in bootloader? + want to restore to stock rom

Hi guys
I installed a few custom roms into my dhd in the last few days. I had to downgrade to the 1.3X version of stock rom to do this. I got tips from the xda post.
After this whenever i go to bootloader, i see that the
bootloader is searching for the ruu rom. If i put the ruu zip file in sd card, it will try to do an install. Is there something wrong with my bootloader? Please advice.
I also want to try and restore the phone to the stock condition. (No gripes with custom roms. Just want to give this a try) Will an ruu flash the old recovery back in? Or should i do this seperately? And what about the radio? Will it come with ruu?
I use a goldcard now. Will it void my warranty if i dont remove it? I dont have ruu roms specific to india with me.
Please help me out. Searched the forum but :-(

1-maybe not, only that u need to re-name the file to "update.zip" or pd98img.zip..
depending that you want to do..
2-yes, an original ruu flashes the originalk recovery...(u can´t do anything in this recovery...)
3-radio not comming with the RUU or with a custom rom... you should to flash it apart... via fastboot or with a tool..
4-goldcard don´t removes your warranty... its maded into the sd card- remove it or format... and gold card dissapears
5-If u don´t found An official RUU for your country... always can enjoy the WEE ruu (generic) without problems...
Thanks Sergi.
But why is the bootloader searching for the zip? I think the downgrade process caused this issue.
Or will all bootloaders search for the zip?
How did you get the name pd98img.zip? My bootloader is indeed searching for this zip file! I never mentioned it in my post
edit:: A few more hours in the forum gives me the impression that all bootloaders will search for this file. Am I right?
Also the RUU has a radio in the name of the file. Should I flash this radio seperately using fastboot?
I see a link to RUU PD98IMG_Ace_hTC_Asia_India_1.84.720.3_Radio_12.28g .60.140f_26.05.05.27_M3_release_175158_signed.zip. Why is the radio name in the file? Will it have the radio inside or should I flash the same radio separately?
I installed RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed and you know what. Even the radio got changed!!!

AAAH ok ok you tried an .exe pack... I forgot to tell you that this is the exception.. sorry... This RUU'S goes with his own recommended radio... Are the original htc roms pure..
sent from my amstrad CPC powered by LOL..(premium xda)
And yes.. bootloader always search pd98img...but then shows you the menu true??its normal.. this file can reflaah your phone if anything goes badly...
sent from my amstrad CPC powered by LOL..(premium xda)
Yes all set!!
what I did was to flash with a 1.32(non indian) version first, temp root it, then remove the radio S OFF.
Then I flashed it with the 1.84 indian version, and all set!!
Thank you!!
One more question, will the RUU exe flash the kernel as well?
Another question too.. Will multiple flashing and reflashing harm the phone in anyways?
