Neon400 SuperCID Guide

I've been looking for a HardSPL for my CDMA Touch Dual (Neon400/P5310) for a while and it doesn't look like it's coming. It seems that there is nobody skilled enough with access to the phone to unlock it.
I have access to the phone, and I have some tech skills, just not in this particular department.
Can anybody point me to a guide for unlocking the CID on phones so that I can start learning how to do this? Otherwise, can somebody guide me or give me some tips on how to begin?
I would be greatly appreciative.

Unfortunatly the NEON400 CDMA is the bastard child of a Nike and a Diamond on a hot drunken night.
Since this phone is really only available in Canada to Telus and Bell (I've also heard Asia but can't confirm), that really limits the number of developers who can work on it.
Hang in there buddy and keep searching (which so far I've done weekly without any results)

Did you try Goldcard? If it works, you'll be able to flash official ROMs for other CIDs (if any are available).

Could you explain Goldcard a little more? I haven't heard of it. Wait, is it a SIM card thing? the NEON400 is a CDMA phone.

Check the wiki; I've never used one myself, but it's some sort of patch you put on your sd card that allows you to flash a stock rom from another carrier off of your sd card. You need to use QMAT or something like that to make the gold card. Just do some searching, but it may not be all that straightforward (big surprise, huh?).

Yeah, I looked into it and I have downloaded QMAT. I feel that I'm in WAAAY over my head here.
Also, I don't want a stock ROM, I want a custom ROM.
Can anybody tell me what is required to make a HardSPL install? If I dump a ROM from my phone, can somebody do something with that?

You pretty much have to be a hacker extraordinaire to write a hard spl. Just get the gold card to work and live with a stock rom. A stock HTC would probably be fine; I don't think that they are loaded with bloatware the way carrier roms are.

I've never seen a stock HTC ROM. Just the ones that the carriers give out. Where does one find a stock HTC ROM?

I have just purchased a P5310 on EBAY
HTC appears to have a generic rom but requires a SN to access it (which i dont have yet)
if it is available please post it here.

Orange UK .ruu /rom?

any one got a stock orange uk htc desire rom?? im returning mine tommorrow and i need it asap!

I am looking for the Orange ROM as well.

Whats the reason for returning it? There is a French-based ROM floating about, not sure if that will do the trick...

Stock Orange ROM has never seen the light of day, it's the risk you take debranding your phone

It's a shame, in a way, that no-one did a dump of the system & data partitions from an Orange-branded phone prior to flashing

Well there are 2 options, wait for the official 2.2 ruu to turn up.
or ask someone prior to rooting orange UK phones to take a dump (you will have to talk them through it.)

I am running stock OrangeUK, I made a dump of the system but I didn't know what to do from there. If anyone can help me through I would only be too happy to give it a go!

Can you also dump boot and data please??
Then, if you know how to use FTP, I can give you access to my server to upload them to if you wish and I can host/get a flashable ROM done for those wishing to re-brand

Yeah, you will have to bare with me sorry, have formatted since I got the system folder. Also yes i know how to upload to ftps, will let you know when i have the files though!

How did you dump the orange Rom?
I was under the impression it wasn't possible and
people were waiting for orange based ruu to be leaked on HTC,web
I wish I looked into this more myself now, if it's possible...>_<oh badger

You can dump the stock partitions (system, boot, data, etc etc) the only thing which is needed then is to unpack these images, and to re-package it into a flashable update.
It's not so much a full RUU then, but more of a Clone
Either way, it will still then give the ability to re-flash a stock-RUU-based ROM for Orange, and/or have a stock Orange-based ROM with Root
Soon as I get the files from saitrix, I'll get on with it, and do 2 versions, 1 rooted, 1 stock.

I did a nandroid on my uk orange just after rooting.
Don't know if its possible to re flash the nandroid then do an unroot. If it is then i can zip it up and ftp it or put it on my ftp server.

Have you tried reinstalling older radio rom's? .20 works for me tho

Dude, i'm running some crappy ROM on my HTC Desire, did you ever make the flashable RUU? I NEED IT

Bumping up an old thread here!
It looks like I may have a problem with my Desire's motherboard cos I have constant rebooting problems. I'm gonna need to return my phone to stock before I can send it back for repair.
Did anyone ever have any luck getting a stock orange uk rom?

[Q] Question about Official T-Mobile US OTA Update 2.2.1 Froyo 34.4.9

I just downloaded the 2.2.1 Froyo 34.4.9 update.zip and am really anxious to give it a try. I'm kinda new at this, I have a rooted Defy (Superoneclick method) and I did root and flash a custom ROM on my CliqXT (adb push method) and have both working good. So, I'm not completely dumb to this stuff but I read in a couple of the thread posts that some people have had issues with 3G and WiFi after installing this update. I do believe that troubleshooting that stuff might be a bit over my head so I'm just wondering if this has been an on going issue or if its rare? If I follow the posted instructions correctly do I have a good chance at ending up with a trouble free version of Foyo? FYI...My Defy is Rooted (factory ROM) 2.1 update1 with Blur Version 3.6.36 and I have a Nandroid backup.

I wasnt sure where to post my previous question since I found the info in the Dev's forums, but I guess because I haven't posted at least 10 times I wasn't allowed to post my question in the Dev's thread I got the .zip from. Funny because I saw a post from someone that didnt even know what "root of the sd card" was but they're allowed to post in that thread. Not trying to offend anyone just making an observation. New to this site so I'm just learning the rules.

I dont think you should be so anxious I upgraded today and the only issue was that it was initially a bit slow but after a few minutes everything was zipping along perfectly.. My 3g is just fine and my Wifi as well. I was able to reroot using superoneclick (update undoes root), and overclock using milestone-overclock app.
I was getting near a near 1000 quadrant score at stock b4 overclocking and got in the 1400's after overclocking to 1200mhz @80.
If you follow the directions it should work no prob.. Welcome to froyo

Those problems you mentioned only apply to the leaked FroYo SBF files. And it only affects those that flash the SBFs to phones that are not specific to that SBF.
I flashed the leaked FroYo for T-Mo USA on my T-Mo USA Defy and had no problems.
You should be fine with the official update.
If you can, please make a nandroid after you update and post it here...
Thanks!

On the Moto forum an Admin is asking for any issues discovered by those who have updated to 2.2. Not sure if this means they're still trying to sort it.

"Common Folks?" Wow, I hope that wasnt supposed to be some kind of insult. You should remember something, its us "common folks" that have the clean Nandroid backups the Dev's seem to be needing, its us "Common Folks" that flash the custom ROMS and donate to the Dev's in appreciation for their hard work. But if us "common folk" aren't welcome here then I can leave because the last time I checked I was able to root and install custom ROMS on both of my phones without your help. Not bad for "common folk"

Lol you took my comment way out of context. I'm not a dev. I don't even have a defy. I'm about intermediate android when it comes to roms, flashing, etc.
I simply meant that, until now, you needed to root, install custom os, etc to get froyo.

Ok, sorry about that. The official OTA 2.2 release was done for a limited time a month or so ago (supportforums.motorola.com/thread/44255?start=0&tstart=0). I have a rooted Defy with custom recovery and download the update.zip from the Dev's forum. Sorry if I wasnt clear about that.

Hi! So what about that nandroid?

I havent installed the OS yet. I got a little more research to do but once I do it I'll be happy to provide the Nandroid. I have a couple questions about the current status of my SD card that I wanna look into first. Hopefully i'll be running Froyo in the next day or so and will provide the Nandroid ASAP.

I would like to know if I have Clockwork Recovery installed, can I still flash the official rom using the Update.zip file on SD card? Thanks.

Just want to be clear on the Nandroid backup. Are you asking me to make the backup right after flashing new OS before anything else gets installed? Basically a stock Defy running Froyo? If you give me details on what you're wanting it'll help alot with my learning process and it'll help make sure that you get what you're looking for. And does a Nandroid backup contain all info thats on SD card?

Yes, a Nandroid right after you update so that none of your data is on there and everything is stock.
Nope, the contents of the SD Card are not included when you make a Nandroid...
Thank you, your help is appreciated!

Do you have any suggestions as to how to backup? I rooted the official (beta) tmous 2.2 with superoneclick (Z4 didn't work), and tried to install tenfars recovery module, however, it won't work with this rom. Is there another one that you suggest to use?

Try this one: kb7sqi's Recovery
Also, have you tried disabling USB Debugging before booting to recovery on Tenfar's Recovery?
You'll have to do that for it to work. The same goes for kb7sqi's Recovery.
Nasty bug or something...

this version doesn't work on this rom either...and the updated version was pulled.

Replied to your PM.
You can use Tenfar's and even kb7's old one. They both work.
You just need to disable USB Debugging before rebooting to recovery...

[Q] Noobie new to rooting

hey guys, im new to the forums and a recent convert from IOS
now i have a desire hd software build no 1.32.707.5
what would the best way going about rooting this be?
the phone is great but has a lot of bloatware i want to get rid of asap
not sure bout putting a new rom on yet
ive been tryin to read up as best as possible but getting conflicting reports from every thread i seem to open
with this version would i have to downgrade before i root?
can anyone point me to a straightforward huide to rooting and the software i would need?
thanks a mil

Hi and welcome to xda.
Your software version is good for rooting, no need to downgrade.
To root you should follow THIS guide as it contains everything you need to do.
Just follow the guide until you achieve ENG S-OFF.

thanks a million
will try it out this afternoon!!

Good luck! You won't regret it!

ok guys
i was sucessful in rooting my DHD
now what course of action could i take from here?
whats would be good apps to install now and how do i go about removing the more stubborn apps i dont want?
also what would be a good rom to install at this point if i so choose without having to do a radio flash

Downgrade or not?
There seems to be a lot of conflicting advice about whether downgrading from is necessary. Here they say not, other guides says its necessary to shift down to 1.32.
Is it necessary or not? Jhonnieblue did you downgrade?

Try Cyanogenmod7-RC2

Radio is separated by ROM, you can try later new radios, to test how much your "new" phone juices in your specific mobile carrier.
In my case, I installed CM7-RC2 ROM and it works just fine with 26.04.03.30 radio on Orange Romania. Keep in mind that you must have S-OFF enabled, otherwise you can't revert to an old radio. And make sure you have the right radio for your device or you will turn it into a brick

If you choose CyanogenMod 7-RC2 first, install ROM Manager. Since I can't post links for the moment, try to google for the full guide of rooting DHD on wikipedia for the official steps (or find the same link on cyanogenmod official site)
Then Google Apps (or gapps), the latest version for your device.
Then any app from the market, for me the first was Market Enabler, since in Romania Android Market was not available at the time. And still it is...unfortunately.

[Q] Help With Virgin Mobile USA WFS

I just have bought the WFS on Virgin USA and I have some questions.
1.) I wanted to know if the LED Notification light can be changed to a different color.
2.) What is the difference between S-ON and S-OFF?
3.) I don't have like any internal memory on my phone, is there a way to get more? I know I could root and rom it but I have questions about that also.
3a.) How do I root the device. (I know that I can make it S-OFF by doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351409 )
3b.) If I decide to Root and Rom the device, can I make a backup of what it looks like now so if I decided to go back, there wouldn't be any issues?
3c.) Which ROM's are compatable with VM's version (I really would like one that is senseless and has as much internal memory as possible, because right now I can't put anything on it that I would like to.)
3d.) Would I be able to un-root and turn S-ON if needed to?
3e.) If I were to do this, would someone be willing to help me step-by-step with it?
Sorry that I have a lot of questions, but im a n00b. xD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*I have attached some screenshots of an error and how much space is left on the phone*

As far as I know about the only thing which can give you a decent amount of additional app storage would be link2AD which requires root. You can get a bit using the built in app2SD off the Android OS so that doesn't need root. You can find info about both here on XDA.

It's a security feature in the radio that prevents writing of unsigned images to the NAND flash.

You mean internal (flash) storage? Memory would be considered RAM, unless that's what you mean, because you have a lot of services and apps running. Either way, you need a ROM with apps2sd/data2sd/link2sd/etc., or you can download it separately, but you still need to be s-off'd and rooted first. (unless you find an official RUU with that already in it.)

Rooting and s-off are two totally different things.. but rooting is the same procedure for almost every phone.

Yes, you must first s-off your phone though, then flash clockwork mod custom recovery to backup everything on your phone, without any issues.

You can do both, but the second requires a serial-to-usb cable (max232 or dku5, etc.) so you can talk to the radio in AT interpreter mode.

Ok, I'll answer as much as I can.
1) don't think so, just orange and green.
2)s-off just means htcs extra security is off, without it, no root or recovery.
3) until we get either cm7 or vm stock with a2sd support, we're screwed. You can root and pull some bloat. But sense is the real problem.
3a) in the development index (I'm lazy) there's a tut on rooting and installing Su after s-off.
3b&c) there's NO ROMs for the cdma version. But yes you can nand backup.
3d)I honestly don't know. I haven't heard of doing it .
3e) if you REALLY need help with s-off, pm me. But the threads short and the instructions are well written so you should get it.
Edit: I type sllloooowwwwww.
