Which HSPL to use for HTC rome( aka HTC smart) ?

I desperately googled it....but found no answers.
o wise ppl of XDA....please guide me how i can flash HTC's stupid BrewMP with android 2.1 or winMo 6.5.
Is it possible? what ROM i should use ?
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

even UPSL method will do...just anything to get me rid of BrewMP

uspl not free！my computer use it only one！wuwu！

Yeah even i'm stuck up with Brew OS, pls someone hwlp me install android or winmo !!

HTC Smart
My HTC Smart download twitter fail Help me

There would be no SPL needed for the HTC Smart as the BrewOS apparently loads directly from the flash, no need for a SPL to kickstart the process.
BrewOS woulds directly at hardware level, not like Android or WinMo.
I could be wrong, but for the moment, it's unlikely.

HTC Smart HSPL
Dear Admenistratory forum,do please HSPL for HTC Smart.Sorry for my Inglish.

ROM Upgrade for HTC Smart,http://www.htc.com/ru/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=974&news_id=683

Yes there is an upgrade available but wont accept my serial number probably because its under 02 licence.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Gerard

Hi gerlynch,What beside you serial number on Device?Sorry for my inglish,my HT04XP005143

Hi Ahror
I just tried your number and it did not work so i think they may be network/region tied.
My no. is HT05DP000108 but this will not work

Shipped ROMS
Shippedroms.com has lots of htc smart (rome) firmwares, unfortunately not the O2 firmware i need to reflash the water damaged one i got...
Will have to wait till o2 bring out new firmware (if ever)
I haven't found a way of getting any of these onto the phone yet... but still uses RUU like all the other new HTC Qualcomm devices... main issue is Vendor ID. I am pretty sure no version of HSPL type program for HTC Smart.
If anyone has a copy of the O2 version please let me know where to get it from.
Cheers

Hi, if we can download the rom upgrade from htc (from htc.com/es for example), its possible to change the original language (english, chinese and thai) to spanish ? my serial number is not valid for download the latest version.

Unfortunately, no...
You can not just reflash your HTC with the ROM which is compiled for another language/region. The RUU will stop with "Invalid Vendor" error.
This problem is solved here for most of HTC devices, but not (hope "not yet") for our Rome/Smart.
Regardless that Smart is just a phone, not a smartphone, it is still HTC. And it needs kind of modified loader which would allow to use different ROM.
I have an O2 Smart in hand and wish to flash it with any ganeric ROM, but still have no luck finding the way.

Flashed with South East Asia Rom in India
Downloaded the Rom from South East Asia and using the Hex editor changed the CID, and was able to flash the ROM on my HTC Smart.
To change the CID use the HEX Editor and change the CID in .nbh file to your country and use it.

hey raj_codes, i've done this and downloaded the hex editor, but i'm not sure how to change CID, and what CID of my carrier / country is?
i'm on telenor, serbia, and can't find any info about its CID on internet.
thanks and sorry for probably lame questions, i'm not into flashing and stuff, but this original smart / rome ROM drives me insane.
thanks.

For those from serbia u must download from polish part of htc site worked like a charm,so you must find your region if you want to flash your rom,this could be find if you check languages on your phone

Well, I don't know about Serbia CID, I also didn't find anything on th web.
Try it anyway flashing the South Asian Rom, it may work if there isn't any lock.
And the original Smart Rom and the one of South East Asia has only one difference that it doesn't come with Carrier application installed, thats why I am using it, I like clean Rom.
Sorry, for late answer and wasn't able to help further.

I am trying to so the same thing with Russian ROM. I have bought the phone in the US and also downloaded the Russian ROM. The problem is: How do you extract CID from the ROM? Can anybody please tell us about this procedure in some more details or at least direct to some useful link? .(Google search wan't helpful at all).
Where in the file did you locate and change the CID? Right now I have no idea what this CID even looks like. So confused, and asking for help.
Thanks a lot and I would really appreciate your suggestions!

OK, it worked: just replace the country code (located in 0x1C0 using HexEditor) in the ROM that you want to install with the country code of your original ROM.
Great thanks go to: pavlovmax1983 from ht tp : // 4pda . ru/ forum / inde x . ph p ? showtopic = 174362 & st = 60
Mine was originally SEA (I guess South East Asia): HTC__044
And in Russian ROM is was: HTC__A07
That's it! If anybody needs either Russian or SEA ROMs I can upload by request. (ver. 1.0.405.95739)

You can use the image, just without signed spl.nbh.

thank you
Finally, a MANGO ROM with Chinese language pack...
By the way, I would like to know if the following procedure is correct to flash this:
1) download the package and remove the signed.nbh file..
2) shut down my Mozart and fire it on with VOL+DOWN button holding
3) run the RUUupdateutility.exe
4) wait for the flashing to finish
is this correct?
Also, details of my phone:
HTC Mozart worldwide generic phone bought in Malaysia
updated to NoDo through Official Zune and hence it is locked
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware: 2250.21.13301.707
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.65.09.25_22.45.50.21U
Radio Hardawre: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.33.2250.1(123643)
any tutorial is appreciated. Thank you!

arbelnox, you will also need HSPL. It's a risky procedure if you want to try.
EDIT: I want to make clarification that HSPL is only require if your region is not supported.

My specs (Taiwan Device) are a bit different than yours:
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware: 2250.21.30102.707
Hardware: 0002
Radio Software: 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U
Radio Hardawre: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.33.2250.1(119314)
FWIW, both with and without SPL_signed.nbh produce invalid vendor (294) error.

I see... so HSPL is required... thank you... then I guess I will do some more studying first before proceed to flash it...
Thanks a lot

Just a quick heads-up...
On WP-Central, a user shows the Taiwan ROM with a slightly different version than the one uploaded by day2die.
http://www.wpcentral.com/mango-ruus-available-taiwan
The version shown for both Schubert and Mozart RUU's is 4.1.100.1332.
This appears to be different than 4.05.728.01. Maybe same file, different file names?
Where credit is due, the article references this thread.
Also in the article, it clarifies languages include Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English.
Cheers

i gog to update my HD7..... downloading the ruu now...

I'm going to go to my local Taiwanese HTC store and have my Mozart officially flashed this weekend. I'm currently running Mango 7714 and want to get proper version; Chinese language support will be a big bonus (as my girlfriend uses my phone alot, plus will increase re-sale value here in Asia).
My only concerns:
- I assume everything will be wiped by this re-flash? I have to reinstalled all apps, and will lose all sms messages?
- Will this leave my Mozart unbranded and on the official HTC update path via Zune? I'm worried Tango will come out and I'll be stuck on an old ROM..
- Should I revert back to Nodo before taking it to the shop?
- I'm a software developer, and I was planning on releasing an app for WP7. Live account is tied to the UK store. This won't affect my ability to test apps on the phone will will it?
Sorry for dumb questions, I'm not too clued up on WP7 ROM stuff
Well pretty sure I'm going to do it anyway as I want REAL Mango and would rather let the phone-shop take the risk of flashing. Will let you guys know how it goes!

really? Good... but what does this RTM actually means? "Release To Manufacturer"?
Anyway, so if I'm updating all the way using the Official Zune to get Stock NoDo in the past, I can just update using the RuuUpdate.exe from bootloader?
No other steps required at all?

Would you mind telling me the display language options now on your HD7?

Is the radio/baseband crc or mr?

Hi, on the HTC developer site there are 2 options for downloading software, one is crc, the other is mr. These refer to the type of radio. Devcheck says my baseband version/number is [email protected]_41.13_f. How do I know if it's crc or mr? I'm on an european model.

As far as I know, crc refers to original release and mr refers to updated/maintenance release. If your looking at RUU releases the mr would be newer. So check which baseband is in the RUU your looking at. It's usually the name of the file.

Thanks, you're right! It's a. tar.gz file though so I'll look into how I'll flash it..
On some other forum (can't post links yet) NJsomeone said crc is cyclic redundancy check and mr is multi-range radio. Just hope it won't mess with my telephony.

That might be the case because no one contributed any files for this SKU, yet.
It's the T-Mobile US SKU. It looks like HTC didn't upload the new RUU, yet. I tried to download it by "updating" the download URL for the 3.x RUU with the new version but that didn't work. (This has been possible in the past when they forgot to update their download page.)

Is T-MOB010 the right CID and 0PJA12000 the correct MID (From the SKU-, CID- and MID-List by Sneakyghost and Behold_this) for SKU 531? I'm presuming that even though I have the developer edition model of the M9 (MID 0PJA11000), the firmware/OS is compatible because they're both GSM models.

Yes, it should be compatible. I don't know the corresponding CID but you can extract the android-info.txt from the RUU with the decryption tool.

I've got the 531 SKU RUU ready for upload (3.39.531.41), extracted from the RUU executable. I can confirm from the android-info file that the MID is indeed 0PJA12000 and the CID is T-MOB010

Er, of course you can't open RUU.zip files like normal archives. They're encrypted and that's explained in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.

I've got the 531 SKU RUU ready for upload (3.39.531.41), extracted from the RUU executable. I can confirm from the android-info file that the MID is indeed 0PJA12000 and the CID is T-MOB010
What's the best way to get the zip file where it needs to be?

If you don't have one already I'd recommend you to get an AFH account. It may take some days until the dev functions (which are needed if you want to upload files) get enabled but afterwards you'll have unlimited space.
Edit: I personally prefer uploading files via FTP. However, since FTP access needs to be requested seperately you might want to directly request it when you request the dev functions on AFH.

Er, of course you can't open RUU.zip files like normal archives. They're encrypted and that's explained in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.

Augh. Of course it's all in the readme.
So am I right in understanding that there is no free option for AFH? Bummer. I'll get around to that shortly.
I've got the link for the Nougat OTA for SKU 531 too. Looks like we're going to get a couple entries for 531!

AFH is for free. You don't need a premium account. I don't have one, either. There a 4 types of accounts on that site: user accounts (free), dev accounts (free), premium user accounts (paid) and premium dev accounts (paid).
Edit: I actually don't know why so many think you would need to pay for AFH...

For me it was because at the landing page there wasn't immediate access to upload files but there was mention of membership plans. The jump I made was that uploading was enabled with a service plan.
....and then I read the 'about' link which has the one-line summary I quoted above. Not my best day for reading before posting.
