DISCLAIMER: I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE USING THIS TOOL

Instructions

-------------

1. connect your ROSE with your PC by USB cable and boot into Windows Mobile

2. wait until ActiveSync is ready (icon green)

3. run "flash-hardspl.bat" to flash the HardSPL. It will create a backup of your current SPL

(called "spl-backup.bin") and creates a file "check.bin" in subdirectory "1" (for diagnostic purposes)

4. the phone will be rebooted automatically

5. you can now flash any cooked or original rom, splash screen or radio rom

Notes

-------

- if your device is application locked the batch file will run with errors. To app unlock your device

Download PHM Registry Editor - v0.70 from here:

http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=31

Copy it to your device and execute it.

Modify this registry key:

HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/0000101B if set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

Reset using power button and try again.

Alternatively run the cab posted: here

- the HardSPL is based on the SPL v1.54.0000 (Rose, Shipped) for ROSE with modelID ROSE100 (check your modelID in battery compartment)

- a quick verification for correct installation is to boot into SPL tri-colour bootloader screen. In the top-left corner it should display "1.54.Hard"

- to flash back the stock SPL 1.54.0000 run "flash-stock-1.54.0000.bat"

- to flash your original SPL run "flash-your-backup.bat"

Roms

------

Original Asian and Orange ROMs can be found here:

I have reconstructed Elusivo's dumped rom WM 6.1 build 20279 (german):

Hi jockyw2001,

What a good and surprising news. I wanted sell my S740 because there was no HardSPL to expect and WinMo 6.1 isn't a hit. But now I'm looking forward to all ROM's based on WinMo 6.5. Thanks a lot for your great work!

My experience with JockyW (jockyw2001) HardSPL:

I could not install the referred "PHM Registry Editor - v0.70" (not build for WM 6.1 standard?)

"Total Commander" (for smartphone) ghisler.com/smartphone.htm worked for me though (I'm not allowed to post an external link - sorry).

There is an inconsistency in the first post of this thread and the output of flash-hardspl.bat concerning the application unlock:

JockyW (jockyw2001) writes in the first post of this thread:

flash-hardspl.bat writes:

I guess the output of flash-hardspl.bat is correct but I'm not an expert.

flash-hardspl.bat has the word "ERROR" in its output:

The tri-colour bootloader screen indicates that the hard-spl is installed though.

To enter tri-colour bootloader screen follow the instructions of of baliles in this other thread

To leave tri-colour bootloader screen remove the battery

Attached is a screenshot of the output of flash-hardspl.bat

will it be possbile now to network unlock htc rose?
[S740, S743 ROM Development] jockyw2001:
50watt: a wrong double-quote character was used in my bat file, the text printed with the correct quotes is:

If not, add the Registry value "HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/0000101B" with DWORD = 1

Wrt the read error: ITSUTILS stream-ERROR: 80072746: Readresult=80090041

I don't know yet what is causing it, but so far it has turned out to be harmless.

@jockyw2001

Hi first nice work on the hardspl .

I am making (trying) to make a working kitchen (I have made some 6.5 test rom's) but I think we need a custom wrapper to .

do you know how to make one or do you know who someone that can make one ?
[S740, S743 ROM Development] jockyw2001:
I'm not a rom cooker but if you mean the config section in dark simpsons htc romtool (htcrt_devices.ini) it should be like this:

[Rose]
Experimental=0
ModelId=ROSE*****
SignMaxChunkSize=64
RomSections=4, "0x200,SPL,524288,TRUE", "0x600,Splash,655360,FALSE", "0x301,Radio,23199744,TRUE", "0x400,OS,0,FALSE"
[S740, S743 ROM Development] 50watt:
jockyw2001: thank you for taking the time to reply!

I was more referring to the "valuename" in the registry.

In the first post in this thread you wrote

I guess you edited this now to

flash-hardspl.bat outputs

which is IMHO still not the same ;-)

If you know which of those values is correct you might want to edit either the first post in this thread or flash-hardspl.bat

Dear JockyW (jockyw2001)

thank you for updating the "registry value name" in the first post of this thread!

Have you tried to install PHM Registry Editor - v0.70 on a HTC rose from the link you posted in the first post in this thread?

For me this is not working (the error message is something like "the install file is not made for this device").

If this is not working for anybody on HTC rose you might want to remove the link to this program or replace it with a link to a free and installable program that is capable to edit the registry, e.g. "total commander".

Best regards

[S740, S743 ROM Development] jockyw2001:
I don't own this device. There are many registry editors, if one doesn't work just try the other :)

WHOOP! Thanks jocky2001! Worked like a charm! It did give that error at the end like others mentioned but no surprise considering the phone was rebooting at the time, when it looked like your util was trying to read/verify so tough for it to work then. :D

I guess my S740 is 'Asia' model (had same stock rom/radio as official release available) but I get poor signal on AT&T. With the help jocky2001's hardspl I was able to successfully install the official Orange S740 rom/radio but get NO signal on AT&T. :( (NOTE: Be warned my phone stuck at generic 'Operator' screen for like 5 minutes before setup finally finished so be patient if you try it or possible other roms) Anyway, the odd thing is the bands selector doesn't show 850/1900 bands that AT&T uses. I say that's odd because supposedly the Orange Rose is quad band gsm so it should have them! Lack of those bands explains why it no workie for me. Hope to find a fix but in the meantime I"ll be trying any rom I can find. I found Asia Rom (should be same as what I had), Orange (no signal), and Russian ROM (not sure if it'll work). Would LOVE to try official S743 ROM!! Stupid HTC site won't let me download without serial. :mad: Thanks to jocky2001 though cooked roms should be available super soon hopefully! :D
[S740, S743 ROM Development] ghekua:
Orange rom not have such setting for AT&T bro.

I think u can do:

up rom Asia, then up radio Orange :D

or download the newest wizard setting software :D
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Yeah I did exactly that. Put Asia ROM back on, extracted Radio from Orange ROM & flashed that. Don't think the new radio helped any but was worth a shot.

The real issue isn't the radio or lack of auto-config in wizard but lack of 850 band! So much for the Orange model being 'quad' band. It's clear Orange removed the 850 band for some reason which is moronic really. What if Orange customer visited 850 area? Stupid to remove it. Like I said before the phone obviously supports 850 since it works with Asia ROM but Orange disabled it so there's gotta be a way to re-enable it. At some point I might flash Asia radio onto Orange ROM just to make sure it's not in the radio but no time right now.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] jockyw2001:
Yes, the radio makes the difference. Try the Asia radio when you have some time.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Kewl thanks! Seems silly Orange wouldn't support 850 though, they claim quad band on their site for the S740! Guess they're counting the 3G ones. lol

[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Updating radio did nothing. Still no 850 band with my AT&T SIM and no signal at all unless I manually set band to 1900. HOWEVER after fighting to app unlock the b*tch of a locked-down Orange ROM I managed to edit the registry & GOT my 850 band!

I renamed: HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting/BandType to zBandType & restarted the phone. Now Band Select menu has Auto for both! Just like the Asia ROM did. And instead of those funky pre-set band options Band Type has US, Euro & Japan band options. Since WCDMA on the S740 doesn't work here in the US I set Network to GSM instead of Auto and obviously set Band type to US although Auto worked too. (No sense it searching for the other band eh)

I ended up flashing the original Orange radio back to confirm 850 & 1900 do work. (My AT&T SIM showed 850 in fieldtest while TMobile showed PCS (1900) so I can confirm both bands work with Orange radio AFTER the reg edit.)

As a side I will say I am very disappointed in the signal strength of the S740. (That is what sent me on this quest to try different ROM's & radios) My trusty old S710 gets full bars at my house on both ATT & TMo. Sometimes it drops 1 lower but most of the time full bars. This S740 gets 2 bars (if you count the one below the antenna as the 1st otherwise only 1 bar). So far no combination of ROM/Radio/rilphone.dll has gained me any. :mad:

Anyhow hope that helps anyone with S740 looking to use it in 850/1900 areas. Thanks again jockyw2001! Without your hardspl none of this would have been possible.

[S740, S743 ROM Development] komunistvb:
Application unlock just instal and after that unninstal the app and registry will be modifajed.I have do this on my S740 with RUU_Rose_Orange_UK_1.17.61.2_Radio_sign_12.29.30.09_0.29.30.22_Ship ROM and it works.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Nice find! Haven't tried it myself but read up on it & sounds 1000x easier than what I went through to application unlock my S740 after putting the Orange ROM on! lol

Figured link to actual app source (with touch screen version too) would be handy for people:

Hi jockyw2001

You have maybe idea, how to unlock CID in HTC Monet, if run only BL ?
[S740, S743 ROM Development] sasiskas:
S740 is the European version and uses 900/2100 for the Quad Band network

S743 is the US version and uses 850/1900 for the Quad Band network

Orange is a European network so it supports Quad Band at 900/2100,That's why you don't get any quad band signal.

You should use a US ROM from a S743.

Personally I live in Europe and I own a S743 US version and I can't get any quad band to work here.If you want I am willing to share my rom,just tell me how to extract it.

ROM VERSION 1.64.422.0

[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Last I checked quad meant FOUR & your 850/1900 vs 900/2100 only accounts for 2 bands each. ;) Quad band GSM is supposed to mean the phone works on all 4 bands, 850 + 900 + 1800 + 1900. (google it if you don't believe me) Of course 3G UMTS is an entirely different beast so quad would mean something else in terms of which bands (since they aren't necessarily the same as what GSM runs on depending on the area) although I'm pretty sure it'd still mean 4. :D

WOO, cool thanks! I downloaded it & will be giving it a try. I was literally flashing my S740 back to factory ROM today to sell on ebay & decided to check back on XDA & saw your post so perhaps the phone has a 11th hour reprieve from sale. lol
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Good news is this ROM flashes onto my hardspl'd S740 OK. With my ATT SIM in it detects an Edge signal on 850 band (according to fieldtest) but bad news is signal is 1/2 of my old S710. 3G doesn't work but not a shocker there as I assumed the hardware was different between S743 & S740 in what 3G bands they supported.

Super bad news is no WIFI! Connection manager shows it grayed out & won't let you select it & status says "driver not loaded" which leads me to believe the stock S743 ROM needs a little cooking before it'll work on S740's with WIFI drivers for starters.

Btw, with my TMobile SIM in field test shows GPRS connection to PCS (1900) band which is a good sign. As with ATT the signal stength is a lot less with Tmo on my S740 vs S710. I'm not in a TMo 3G area (heck can't even get EDGE!) so I can't say for certain if that'd work but I suspect it wouldn't since TMo has such odd 3G bands that only TMo-specific phones work on.

If I get time I'll extract the radio from this ROM & try with Asian stock ROM my S740 came with but I'm guessing that won't help any and seems a chef needs to step up & offer expertise on cooking up some magic to make S743/S740 ROM's compatible with each other.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] sasiskas:
Don't forget to take in mind that it is for Brightpoint only...

My s743 has a non-brand US rom...it must be better...If u want I can upload it here..I just need instructions how to extract it...

P.S. many problems maybe occurring because of hardware differences between s740 and s743...someone must tell us for sure if there are any hardware differences between these two models.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] sasiskas:
If I flash a Different ROM how can i flash back to my factory rom?just hard reset?
[S740, S743 ROM Development] jockyw2001:
Try PSAS 1.08 (http://revskills.de). There is new ROM merge function which creates a .nb from a dump (the dump can also be made by PSAS). If that doesn't work you can get back to me for alternative instructions.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
With jockyw2001 hardspl I've been able to flash any of the Official ROM's that have been posted. (Although just because it flashes doesn't mean everything works. Dummy me tried the Russia one & thought I bricked my phone but luckily was able to flash it back & get rid of the incompatible hardware error eventually.) Assuming one of the ROMs available is what your factory rom was then yes I'd assume you can flash it back otherwise you'd need to be content with what is available or hope for a newer official release. My S740 came from Asia region so flashing RUU_Rose_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.14.707.0_Radio_sign_12.23.30.06_0.24.30.24_CRC_Ship.exe put it back to 'factory' for me but I haven't tried RUU_Rose_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_sign_12.23.30.06_0.24.30.24_CRC_Ship.exe yet which as same radio & could work as well.

Bill
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Yeah I realized it wasn't for the S740 and was pretty sure there'd be issues since hardware is different but I still wanted to TRY it & see what worked & what didn't. I especially was interested in extracting the radio to see if it worked better for me with other ROM's that worked OK. I was able to extract just the radio & so far everything seems to be working but I haven't tested it extensively. Signal still seems week but I'm wondering if the S740 has poor antenna.

Btw, I'll be posting up the radios that I've extracted in case anyone wants to try them out but nothing too exciting from what I can tell.

Hello everyone. I have a problem.

I have flashed Orange S740 that was unlocked from Orange when I bought it with Russian firmware, and after firmware was uploaded phone reboots and this message appears:

Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.

What is that means? I can't flash it with Russian firmware? Only from Orange?
[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:
Hey,

I made the same mistake playing with roms & the message appeared even after flashing my original rom back so I thought I was screwed. :o After a few more flashes I got it fixed so it is possible, I just don't know which of the many things I did so I figure I'll just name a few & hopefully you figure it out. I did a hard reset (don't think that helped), I removed the battery then went into boot loader screen & flashed from there (this coulda been the trick) and I did a hard reset imediately after that flash (that coulda been the trick). I *might* have flashed the hardspl back on again too but sorry I don't recall I was in panic mode. lol

But yeah that is a super scary message & scarier yet when you flash to old rom & it's still there! So hope you get it set back right and be a HUGE WARNING to people to NOT flash the Russian ROM unless you are sure you have the right Rose for that. ;)

[S740, S743 ROM Development] bill48105:

you are confirming that HardSPL works with s743 US version? How is the "Stock Tweaked" v0.7 BETA running on it?

[S740, S743 ROM Development] jackfrost7:
Mine says ROSE130 in the product id under the battery... S743.

HardSPL seems to have worked (in tricolor boot mode it shows it)

But I flashed the WM6.5 "Official" build just now and its screwed up... doesn't look like WM6.5 at all, (looks like stock) and can't get service.

Trying again, then I'll try one of the 6.1 to see if that makes a difference.

[S740, S743 ROM Development] strykme:
frauhottelmann,

really appreciate your willingness to help. I did dump the raw files from my s743 a few day ago but was having problems putting them back into "ROM", will the raw files be useful to you? can i just zip them and post them here? (never posted and attachment here)

Thank you!
[S740, S743 ROM Development] frauhottelmann:
Yes, the raw files are fine. Please zip parts 00,01 and 02. But you'll have to upload to rapidshare or something like that, since it will be too big for attaching it directly to xda...
[S740, S743 ROM Development] strykme:
leaving work, will do from home later on. hope i can figure out to to upload to rapidshare:)

the second is the official HTC S743 ROM Upgrade (For Brightpoint only) | 08.12.2009 | 08.12.2009, it has the same rev numbers as my ROM. i have not tried it, do not know what they mean by (For Brightpoint only)

Thank you very much, hopefully US owners of s743 will enjoy 6.5 also.
[S740, S743 ROM Development] jackfrost7:
Yeah, no go on any of the current ROMs out there. Going to try cooking one myself with the raws that I dumped before flashing.

I bought mine from Newegg... and I can't find an original firmware link anywhere to use for the step about the using the BaseROM...
