Can anyone tell me how to upgrade the ROM to Win Mobile 6.5? Show me the step by step please. Thank you.
Easy peasy!
1. Grab a WM6.5 ROM (For Zest/ASUS P565) i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4763089
2. Extract the zap/rar so you have a .ABI file
3. Copy the .ABI to the root of a micriSD card. I use the one that came with the Zest for my flashing.
4. Insert the microSD card with the ROM on it into your Zest.
5. Connect your Zest to it's charger
6. Make sure the phone is turned off
7. Press and hold the "down arrow" on the cursor pad....don't let it go yet!
8. Turn the phone on, after the 1st splash screen you will get a colourful DOS type screen. YOU CAN LET GO OF THE CURSOR KEY NOW
The progress bar will part fill with red....followed by green....don't touch anything!
One the flash is complete the phone will reboot....let it reboot....and WAIT!
Eventually you will be prompted to tap the screen to set up the phone....wait a bit more (30 seconds) as the phone is still busy and will appear unresponsive.
Tap the screen, tap the cross hair 4 times....WAIT!
Leave the phone to finish setting its self up. Some software will auto install and eventually the phone will reboot.
You can now turn the phone off and insert your proper microSD card.....assuming you have a larger card you normally use.
You now need to:
Go to settings and configure each bit i.e. owner name, regional settings etc
You might also need to disable aircraft mode (some ROMS have it turned on by default). Go to wireless manager and tap "Phone".
Have fun

Is there away to get the hack built in in to a rom like in the hd2 roms...?
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When I got my HTC Mozart, I unlocked it with chevron. The firmware version was 7004 on a t-mobile branded rom.
After that I connected my phone to zune with flight mode on (easiest way to prevent relock) and updated it to 7008, and after that that to 7392.
Everything is working fine, I can deploy whatever I want to my phone, also with chevron I can only "relock", like ansar said.

UNLOCKING
I have been all over these threads trying to get the best and most out os my phone. I have finally got it unlocked. Not if someone can help explain how to keep it unlocked without having to use flight mode? My last attempt lasted the first update but the second update caused it to lock so had to downgrade back to 7004 and start over.
If it has to be done through the registry can someone please explaine the process I downloaded the latest registry editor found on TouchEperience : http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593
Thanks in advance for all help very appreciated.
So what exactly did you do ansar? Just updating your phone via Zune to "NoDo" and it still was "chevroned"? Which phone did you use?
Maybe you can give us more details. I would also like to update my phone but i dont want to loose the advanced config app

Yes there are but with having an idea of what the end result of doing something wrong noobs like myself (to WP7) need a little spoon feeding when it comes to Registry changing.
I apologize if I am asking for a lot but I have always been one that if I understand something better than someone else I have no problem with breaking it down simpler. And maybe with understanding how to do this will also help me to understand how to do background changing which also only done through the register editor.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
The details for keeping your phone unlocked are in my sig. Follow instructions from "How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked" part 1 and 2. Once you have set these reg keys the phone will not relock with updates.

Hi,
Yes, in HD7 it was most easy and you can try this simple steps:
- Flash a 7004 branded ROM
- Setup e-mail account and send ChevronWP7.cer
- Install ChevronWP7.cer
- Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express
- Run zune, sync and let pass all steps but not upgrade yet
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and unlock
- Relock and unlock as a test and stay unlock
- Deploy AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta, to keep unlock
- Now let zune upgrade
- At the end you will have an 7008
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock
- If not let me know
- If yes, let zune to upgrade 7392
- At the end you will have a working 7008 backup to return in case of emegency
- Run ChevronWP7.exe and check if it is unlock
Regards, ansar

Hi Ansar,
Thanks a whole lot I will do this now I do have one question. After this is done can you connect to another computer I recently got a new laptop (running windows 7) and it is what I have been doing these things with my phone now before I got the laptop I was using my computer (which run XP) last night I connected it to my computer to download my audio and pictures this morning it was back lock and I had it on airplane mode. Will I be limit to only connecting to my laptop or will the permnant unlock continue to keep it unlocked?
Does anyone have a direct link to the AdvanchedConfig 1.2.0.0 beta when I searched here all 3 results bring me back here and when I google it it takes me to TouchXperience site and the I only see versions 3.0; 3.1; 3.2; and 3.3.
Question in continuing to find Advanced Config I came across this:
How to sideload more than 10 apps ?
Unlock your device with a modded ChevronWP7 version:
ChevronWP7_NoSideloadLimit.zip ( 83.27K ) Number of downloads: 26
Credits to xda user hounsell on http://www.red-gsm.net/t48485/
Is this better that the one I've been using?

Are these apps/programs for the phone itself or for the computer? I put WPSupportTool-amd64.msi [64bit] in the search and got: Results for:"WPSupportTool-amd64.msi"
Sorry, no results were found. It may help to:
Okay I realized I wasn't searching Microsoft when I did choose it I still got the same results then google open up leading me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021920 where the Windows Phone Support Tools can be downloaded. Now to find the Visual Studio. Which I am still a little confused because I thought your instructions these were things to install on the phone and if that is the case then what I'm doing is wrong and therefore I can't find the right things .
Okay I found it but again I am still confused becase you said: "Install Application Deployment and optional Visual Studio 2010 express" but what I have to my knowledge is not a XAP app.
hello ansar..
i have an HD7 branded for o2 and i unlock it on 7004 and prevent it from locking
now i have it on the last update and i can deploy any xap =)
so can i help you?!
NEW: I created new unlocks for (almost) all Samsung WP7 devices, including 2nd generation devices like Focus S and Omnia W! More info here. Guides will be updated as soon as possible!
In Mango there is a new type of lock: INTEROP-LOCK
Normal WP7 apps are Silverlight or XNA apps. They run managed code. Some apps also use native code (C++), but Microsoft restricts the use of native code to certain selected partners, because native code is more sensitive to errors and need higher care. But there are no real boundaries for running native code on WP7 devices, as I explained here. If your device is AppHub- or ChevronWP7-unlocked, you can run the apps with native code. For example the Version and Language tool from this thread uses native code, but it can run on normal unlocked devices. But there are also apps that need access to drivers on your phone. These apps need the Interop Services capability. This capability is only allowed to software from Microsoft and from OEM's. But many homebrew apps need this capability too, to get higher privileges for tweaking your device. The new Interop Lock means that this capability is locked down. So, even when you have a legit AppHub-unlock or ChevronWP7 Labs unlock, you still can't side-load apps that need higher privileges to run. For example WP7 Root Tools needs this capability to run. But when your device is INTEROP-LOCKED it will show error 0x81030120 when you try to deploy it to your device.
Contable and Marvin_S did research on it and found that the registry setting MaxUnsignedApp is responsible for the INTEROP-LOCK. I did more research and I identified the code that is responsible for this check. In fact, if you have the MaxUnsignedApp value set to 300 or higher, your interop will be unlocked. The value of MaxUnsignedApp is determined by the type of developer-unlock you have. A normal AppHub account will have it set to 10 and a student account will have it set to 3. So a value of 300 or higher is not a realistic value for a normal developer account. It is probably only set to this value for Microsoft employees and OEM developers.
Until now, the only way to do an INTEROP-UNLOCK for MANGO meant that you have to downgrade to NoDo first, then prepare your device by loading provxml files to your device, upgrade to MANGO and then use OEM tools to execute the provxml files and do the necessary unlocks. But that is a lot of work and for some devices not even possible, because there are simply no ROM's available.
So I wanted to allow people with MANGO shipped on their device and using a legit developer unlock, to use WP7 Root Tools and other MANGO-compatible homebrew apps.
I have developed a method to do this. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and it works on my device. It should also work on Samsung Focus. ATLien68 brought to my attention that it is also possible for LG devices to do an Interop Unlock on Mango. So I created a guide for LG too.
This only works on devices that already have a developer-unlock!
DISCLAIMER
I will not take any responsibility for any damages caused directly or indirectly from using the software-package or the instructions. Read the instructions thoroughly and proceed carefully!
BACKUP
You may want to make a backup of your device in case something goes wrong. This is what I do to make a backup:
1. Download hx4700 Killer's WP7 Backup version 1.6 from this thread. Note that I use version 1.6, not 1.8.
2. Download this archive. It is from xboxmod's WP7 Update Cab Sender thread.
3. Use Zune 4.8 final (4.8.2345.0).
4. Setup-UpdateWP 4.8 beta 3 from the archive.
5. Extract the "Tools" folder from the archive.
6. Setup the Backup tool to reference Zune.exe and the UpdateWP.exe in the extracted Tools-folder.
7. Create your backup. The backup app will allow you to archive any previous backup. Your phone will restart and go in Download-mode. When the backup is finished, the app will tell you to disconnect. Even though your phone says you still can't disconnect, you can safely disconnect the phone and it will restart.
SAMSUNG
WARNING!! The new Samsung Omnia 7 KK2 update will prevent the use of Interop Unlock and WindowBreak! This Samsung Firmware update is accompanied with the 7.10.8107.79 if you update with Zune. Other Samsung devices are probably affected too, but I don't know if the update code for those device is KK2 too. If you are already unlocked, this update will not relock your device. If you want to keep the possibility of Interop Unlock open, then use the method described in this thread to update to 7.10.8107.79 without updating to Samsung KK2!
1. Download the software package Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
2. Connect your phone to your desktop computer, running Zune.
3. Check for updates and let all pending updates install.
4. Uninstall the Samsung Diagnosis app.
5. Dial ##634# to install the latest Samsung Diagnosis app.
6. Use any Windows Phone App Deployment tool to install Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
7. Run the Samsung Diagnosis app. You should see version 1027, 1122 or 0103 at the top. The version is the compile-date without year. So version 0103 is actually newer than 1122. Versions from before 2010/10/27 do not seem to work. If you have such an old version of the Diagnosis App you need to run the latest Samsung Update (Mango Drivers) from Zune or update manually as described here. After the update you need to perform step 4 and 5 again.
8. In the Diagnosis app dial: *#9908#
9. Select "Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock"
10. Tap "Save", tap "Close" and exit the Diagnosis app. You are now unlocked, but your 3G settings are screwed (side-effect).
11. To repair your 3G settings use one of these six options:
---- 11.1. NEW: This option only works on 1st generation Samsungs. Download "Samsung Repair 3G by Heathcliff74.xap" and run it on your phone. It should work immediately.
---- 11.2. Use the Diagnosis app (thanks to Vintage144 for the tip).
-------- 11.2.1. Open up the Diagnosis app.
-------- 11.2.2. Dial this to enable autoconfigure sim setting: *#94765# (or dial 40*047#3, it's the same - more diagnosis codes here)
-------- 11.2.3. It will ask you to restart the device. Confirm that.
---- 11.3. If your device is not locked to a specific operator, you can use the Samsung Network Profile app (for 1st generation) or Wireless Manager (for 2nd generation)
-------- 11.3.1. Uninstall the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.2. Download and install the latest version of the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app from the Marketplace.
-------- 11.3.3. Open the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.4. Select a different Network Operator.
-------- 11.3.5. Now Select your own Network Operator again.
-------- 11.3.6. Exit the Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
---- 11.4. Use lyriquidperfection's Samsung Tools (probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.4.1 Download the Samsung Tools here.
-------- 11.4.2. Deploy the tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock)
-------- 11.4.3. Start "Samsung Tools"
-------- 11.4.4. Select "Run ADC"
-------- 11.4.5. Tap "Reboot"
---- 11.4. Use WP7 Root Tools for manual repair (I will add an option to repair 3G in the next version, currently only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.5.1. Download WP7 Root Tools here.
-------- 11.5.2. Deploy WP7 Root Tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.5.3. Open WP7 Root Tools.
-------- 11.5.4. In the registry editor navigate to Local Machine\System\AutoDataconfig.
-------- 11.5.5. Set value ConfigurationStatus to 0 and set value RunADC to 1.
-------- 11.5.6. Restart your phone.
---- 11.6. Use TouchXperience Advanced Config Tool 1.4 (thanks to Ludovic B. for the tip, probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.6.1. Download Advanced Config Tool here.
-------- 11.6.2. Deploy Advanced Config Tool to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.6.3. Open Advanced Config Tool.
-------- 11.6.4. Go to "Tweaks" and scroll down.
-------- 11.6.5. Check "Run Auto Data Config".
-------- 11.6.6. Scroll down and tap "Reboot phone".
Resolve Samsung connection problems
Thanks for this info to lulede!!
A lot of Samsung owners have complained here about connection problems. They blamed Interop Unlock, but apparently this has more to do with enabling "Internet Connection Sharing" than with "Interop Unlock". You should be able to recover the connection, apply this:
1. Start Diagnosis App> *#32489#
2. Tap "Back" 2 times to go back to Phone Control
3. Choose: [7] Network Control
4. Choose: [1] GFC
5. Choose: [3] Setting Cancellation
Wait for it to say success, then reboot.
LG
1. Install the MFG app by dialing: ##634#
2. Open the MFG app. The password is: appmfg#*#
3. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
4. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
5. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
6. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD.
7. Leave input data box empty and tap "SET".
8. The output should be 0.
9. Now enter "1" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
10. The output should be 1.
11. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
12. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install"
16. Set your input key to "MaxUnsignedApp" and set to DWORD.
17. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
18. The output should be 0.
19. Now enter "2147483647" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
20. Output result should be "2147483647".
HTC
I didn't do this hack for HTC's all by myself. This hack is a joint collaboration of XDA members. A valuable part of this hack was done by Kounadisk and GoodDayToDie. Thanks to them!
Also thanks to CeesHeim for arranging a hand-on HTC device for me to test with.
This hack need the HTC Connection Setup app. HTC Arrive can't run the HTC Connection Setup app. Therefore this hack will not work on HTC Arrive. Verizon Wireless Trophy users should follow slightly different steps. Scroll down for instructions that are specifically meant for Verizon Wireless Trophy.
Developer unlock can be either AppHub or Chevron Labs.
Important note: From what I understand, HTC has released *two* OEM updates after Mango. The first one was released together with Mango and included the first Mango drivers from HTC. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v1. The second one is being rolled out now and is by other people referred to as the "tethering update". This update also contains updated drivers. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a 1st generation HTC device, you may or may not have installed the HTC Mango Drivers v1 or v2. If you are on Mango with Interop Lock, you may need this hack to perform Interop Unlock. The HTC Mango drivers have extra protection which will reject the configuration settings for Interop Unlock. The current hack for HTC defeats the extra protection in HTC Mango Drivers v1. But in HTC Mango Drivers v2 there is an even more advanced protection, which is a breaking change that causes the Interop Unlock to fail. The second generation HTC devices (HTC Radar / HTC Titan) come with the HTC Mango Drivers v2 preloaded. So currently only First generation HTC Mango devices can only be Interop Unlocked if there are no HTC Mango updates or only HTC Mango Drivers v1. So the first generation HTC devices that also have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and the second generation HTC devices can currently not be Interop Unlocked. I am looking for an exploit in the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a first generation HTC device and you have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and you still have a backup from before that last update, you can restore that backup and apply Interop Unlock. You can update to the latest drivers again and preserve the Interop Unlock.
There are also users with 1st generation HTC devices only HTC Mango Drivers v1, who report that this is not working. This can be fixed. These people should read the notes at the end of this guide!
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you hava a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Start HTC Connection Setup.
7. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
8. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
9. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
10. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
11. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
12. Now open "Connection Setup" again. This is to prevent Connection Setup opening when you restart your device.
13. It will show you your current operator.
14. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished again.
15. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
Note for people who don't have this working: I changed the order of the steps in the guide a little bit. If you have attempted to deploy other hacks using HTC Connection Setup (GoodDayToDie version for Interop Unlock or something else) it could be that the files that were deployed are blocking this new hack. You should try to uninstall HTC Connection Setup, restart your phone and then follow the the steps in the guide again (with changed order). Hope that works for you.
Steps for Verizon Wireless Trophy users (thanks to LiFePo4 for modified instructions):
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you have a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Go to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to GSM. Exit back to main screen and wait for data connection to go away (there will be a little box with the crossed circle in the upper left where connection status is shown).
7. Start HTC Connection Setup.
8. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
9. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
10. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
11. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
12. Make sure you perform step 12 and 13 directly after each other! Tap "Done" to exit the app. This will take you back to the applist.
13. Quickly Uninstall HTC Connection Setup and never allow it to run again.
14. Power off and back on phone.
15. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to CDMA. Exit to main screen and verify 3G is there.
16. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to Global. Exit.
17. Uninstall the HTC Interop Unlock.xap
This method does not loose 3G (HTC connection setup really does no good with the CDMA network so it used only once for Interop Unlock; if it ever runs a second time it screws up the CDMA data connection).
Note to people who have trouble with their HTC Connection Setup restarting automatically on every reboot of the device, or having problems with their data connection:
Normally the Connection Setup should be restored automatically with this hack. But if something goes wrong, it is possible that your HTC Connection Setup is left in a unservicable state. I that case follow these steps:
1. Download and deploy the attachment: Repair HTC CS.xap
2. Run Connection Setup.
3. Apply settings of your operator.
4. Uninstall Repair HTC CS.
That should do it.
Note to everybody: Please report success and failure, including all device specs and abnormalities (errors etc)! I want to improve the guide as much as possible!
Have fun with homebrew now!

Dude you have the legendary tools .
So, if I just have a Mango device that is Dev unlocked, I can use this and get a "full unlock" on my phone ?
I really would like to know if it works on one of the HTC leaked roms. I really want to upgrade due to the better performance, DLNA support, better radio, etc but, I can't get a "full unlock" on it due to not going back to NoDO (and there is NO backup rom for the Verizon HTC Trophy, Yes, I have looked).
Does this have the INTEROP tag in the app ? If it does not, it should install no problem on a dev unlocked device.
Almost tempted to go back to NoDo and upgrade with only a Dev unlock to 7720 to try this, if I can get a full unlock from that point, I know it will work and this would be epic !
This sounds awsome if it works on HTC devices....
Crossing fingers....
i have tried deploying it on my htc mozart. it gives an error message saying 'the program has been blocked by group policy'
no LG support yet?
(I don't need it but thought I'd ask anyway)
thanks
Ok. Not working as expected
The good news: It still seems to be working on Samsung! But you will need an updated version of the xap. I will post it in a few minutes.
I tried to deploy CustClear.provxml to \Windows. On my device that seemed to work. I thought I had disabled my root-access. But I forgot to disable some of my policies. The result was that I had access to write to \Windows this way, while 'normal' device don't have that.
But I still seem to have write-access to \provxml for Samsung. I double-checked it now.
I will update the opening post.
Sorry to HTC users
Ciao,

"FullUnlock" is a prove-of-concept from Cotulla. You can read about it here. FullUnlock is a way to run native executables.
This is slightly different. I called this "Interop Unlock". Interop locking is meant to block native code in a Silverlight app. All your normal apps are Silverlight apps. Many homebrew apps are Silverlight apps that use native code, like WP7 Root Tools. The method described in this thread is to allow Silverlight apps use native code. This is not for native executables.
Read more about the different type of unlock here.
Most custom roms already have this kind of unlock. This is primary meant for devices with Mango shipped on it.
This app does not have the Interop-flag in it. It is meant to allow to deploy other apps with the Interop flag that previously would not install.
Anyway, for now this seems to be working only on Samsungs. So unfortunately no HTC support as yet.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
Gosh I wish the Dell Venue Pro had cool stuff, I am almost to the point of giving up hope. Ill never lose my NODO backup just in case thanks cliff
Heathcliff, you never cease to amaze me. Great work. One issue though. The Network Profile app doesn't work on my AT&T Focus, when I open it up it says "It cannot be used if in a locked state by mobile operator. If I click OK it won't let me change from AT&T.
But the good news is I was able to install your new root tools now! No rolling back to Nodo needed. I just need a way to fix my 3G without network profile
EDIT: I just tried installing the "unofficial" network profile app that works on locked phones, but the app doesn't open. It goes right back to the start screen.
EDIT 2: OK I think I have 3G back. I installed Samsung Tools by lyriquidperfection here, I selected Set 'Run ADC' flag at next boot. I now have my 3G logo back. He included the source for the xap, maybe you could include this with your xap that we can run?
Awesome!!!!!!!! Works perfectly!
I've always been able to install apps with "ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES". However I can never run them as they crash right away. I was really excited when I first heard of this today but now i'm just confused.
ANyone with a HTC device confirm this works ?
Nice! Worked perfectly for me (Samsung Focus) I did have to use Samsung Tools to get my 3G back since I couldn't use the Network thingy but that wasn't a problem since my phone can now sideload interop apps.
What Omnia7 ROM have you flashed, so that can get the newest Diagnosis app? I have flashed the newest WP7_Product NoDo Rom (I8700XXKC1_XXKB2) and it comes with Diagnosis ver.0103. Uninstalling and re-entering Diagnosis mode, installs the same old version.

so no chance for Dell Venue Pro?
This works and is easy.
1. Go to shipping-roms.com and download your applicable Rom, for your phone, from your service provider. Click on Android, scroll to bottom of list and click on "Vision", then scroll to the file called "RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe". This is the one you want!
2. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your Windows based laptop, this is what provides the driver for your usb to connect to your phone.
3. Make sure "USB Debugging" is set on your phone. It can be found by going to: Applications/Development, then check it off at the top.
4. Power Down Phone, or choose "restart" from your "rooted" phone and select "BootLoader" in the option list that comes up.
5. (If you chose bootloader from list as mentioned above, skip this step) With your phone powered down, hold the power button and "up" volume switch simultaneously to get to bootloader menu. This could take a few tries to get right. Keep trying, you'll get it. Hopefully though, you'll have the option in the "restart" menu of your rooted phone.
6. With "usb debugging" on and your phone in "bootloader" mode, it is time to fire up the executable file your downloaded in step 1. After it installs, you will get a grey screen program that shows your phone. Check the box and select next, on the next screen, check the box again and select next. Wait for the rewrite of the original ROM to your phone. You'll know it's working as your phone will display the HTC logo with a green progress bar.
Note: While the original ROM is being installed, your phone may power down a couple of times. No worries, it is expected behaviour. When the program is done, it will tell you it is finished, and your phone will reboot to it's fresh from Bell state.
Hope this helps. Wish these instructions were here when I had to do it. Lol!
Enjoy the Day!
If anyone is having luck with this, and this post was helpful, I could use the "Thank Yous". This allows me to post the direct links to the items you"ll need for unroots.
Actually i was getting ERR 155 but, it was because i was not on bootloader... thanks for the clear and easy to follow steps.
Now i got it working with stock Froyo!!
Hi!
I've made a post in the Asus forum, with no luck and I found this page where you seem more technical :
Two days ago I downloaded the Android MM 6.0 update from the Asus Homepage downloading the version WW-4.21.40.144 , since I live in Brazil and the phone was bought here. I followed all the steps one by one till it got updated.
The problem is, since then my GPS is not working (Waze, Googlemaps ans several apps).
I tryed:
1. Giving all permissions of location to the apps
2. Puting the settings in High Accuracy
3. Restarting the phone several times.
4. Switch on and off Airplane mode and 2G 3G ands 4G (I read sometimes its interference from that)
5. Waiting almost an hour with the phone outside (sunny day) to see if it detects the satellites.
6. Every app inthe appstore that promise GPS Fixing (reseting, A-GPS and all kind of tests. Funny thing, the sensor IS working acording to those apps.
7. Factory Reset
8. Factory Reset and Erase Cache from the bootmenu. (as indicated in the Asus Forum)
9. Downgraded to Lolipop again. WW-52.20.40.196
10. Again every app to reset the GPS.
Nothing worked.
To my surprise, now I have Lolipop and no GPS. So back to basics but, worst.
The Asus forum told me to Update to the latest version, which I did:
1. Updated my phone with the latest MM version. 4.21.40.223.
2. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps.
3. As the old software was installed after that, I tried Waze. No GPS Signal was found.
4. Did a factory reset.
5. Put the location options in "High Accuracy" and permissions needed for the apps
6. Installed the apps GPS Toolbox and Waze again, the both can't find a GPS signal. I left the phone outside for 10 minutes.
7. Tried to install the version UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user by bootloader, but it says it cannot update to an older version, which sounds about right. (I had to try)
What else can I do? I don't mind going back to Lolipop, but when I did GPS didn't work.
Is there any chance the new Update wrote something apart from software in the chipset that cannot be undone?
Help please, I really need the GPS!
Phone not rooted.
Thanks!

After long hours of searching, reading and trying I got it fix. How?
0. Have a full charged battery or have your phone plugged to the wall (except for the USB stuff on step number 2, obviously)
0.1. Make backups of all the info in the phone, because everything is going to be erased.
1. Download the version WW-52.20.40.196 from Asus website.(unless you need the other like CN, JK, etc, see Asus site to be sure)
2. Copy it to the internal storage of your phone in the root of it (not in any folder), via USB.
3. Get to the boot loader (Turn off phone and once is off, push the power button with the Up volume one until it vibrates 2 times. Release only the power button until the menu appears) - Search the forum for more details.
4. Select "Recovery Boot" with the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm.
The next steps are all in the Recovery Menu (once it finishes every step it goes back to the original menu, no alerts, sounds or nothing. So check every now and then)
5. Make a Wipe/factory reset, and wait, it takes some time. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
6. Make a Wipe of the cache. (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
7. Install update from Internal storage selecting the name of file you copied on step number 2 (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm). It will take a while.
8. Reboot the system (use the volume buttons and press the power button to confirm)
It will restart with the phone in the Lolipop version and the GPS working fine. Even after the Lolipop updates.
Marshmallow update has a bug, that at least with my phone the GPS doesn't work. Tried reinstalling marshmallow latest version after the GPS got fix, just to prove the point, and in fact, it stopped working again.
Then I did all the steps above again and went back to normal again.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO UPDATE TO MARSHMALLOW WITH THE ACTUAL FIRMWARE VERSIONS AVAILABLE.
I also had this problem with Marshmallow ROM, as the GPS is not working in terms of unable to locate any signal from satellites.
However, I also solved the problem with a method sounds very silly.
I turn on my GPS overnight using an application called GPS Status.
The night I turn it on, it was locating 0 satellite (it will write 0/0 SAT). However in the morning, I found that the GPS is now working, locking on 8 out of 24 discovered satellite (it wrote 8/24 SAT).
Now my GPS is working seamlessly.
Thanks! I will try it next weekend. I need my phone this week. Hahaha
I ll post when I do so.
Do you know other similar cases of people who did that and worked?
The thing is, now I have Lollipop again an I noticed how slow the system is running with applications. I d love to have the update, but not sacrificing the GPS
I decided I won't make the test because it doesn't justify the risk and time.
I'll wait for a newer update or just stay with Lollipop.
Just to let you guys know in case someone was waiting for this
I downloaded GPS Status as suggested by SleepingAran and ran it once. Now my Waze is working seamlessly. Thanks!
There's another simple solution that works:
Follow exact steps:
1. Turn on location and set high accuracy mode
2. Open google maps
3. Move your phone several times in the shape of 8 (8-10 times should be enough)
4. Close google maps and clear it from recents screen
5. Start google maps again. Profit
