I have the Vodafone UK version of the HTC Trophy and tried to unbrand it as per the Unbranding the Spark Vodafone_UK operator instructions. I can install the RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.07.161.04_Radio_5.50.09.15 U_by_ansar without issue through bootloader mode.

I move onto the next stage to install HTC_Asia, RUU_Spark_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.09.707.07_Spark_5.50.09.1 5U_Signed_by_ansar but I repeatedly get the invalid vender ID, again installing by the bootoader method.

My phone 'About' info now reads as follows:

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.10704.161

Hardware revision number: 0003

Radio software version: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U

Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 1.7.2250.4(109106)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

Before the flash it read:

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.10906.162

Hardware revision number: 0003

Radio software version: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U

Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 1.9.2250.6(111329)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

Obviously there is a difference now.

My bootloader screen now reads as follows:

PC40100 SS-BC (4K)

SPL-1.7.2250.4(109106)

MicroP(LED) 0x09

TOUCH A1(v10,20)

SD SANDISK 7580MB Class4

Partition Info-v211v413

Which again is different to the original.

There is obviously an issue with the Asia ROM, could you please advise as to what to try next, thanks. :)

Ok. I found the solution on my own. I didn't know how to perform a hard reset and go into bootloader mode. Anyway, do you know when a greek rom will be released, with file access and bluetooth pairing with other devices?

ROM version identification info

Hi,

The post #1 is updated with ROM version identification info.

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
Thanks for the update, this is the best way to unbrand your Trophy as you can easily return to the branded ROM. ;)

I have now successfully unbranded my Uk Vodafone Trophy using C. Unbranding the Spark Vodafone_UK operator part 1 works perfectly.

I have problems with part 2 now! I flash following the instructions but get a flashing error at 10% as seen below when using HTC_Europe, RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.09.401.08_Radio_5.51.09.06 U_Signed_by_ansar, luckily removing the battery and rebooting allows you to flash the part 1 ROM so not a problem, any reason for this error, is this ROM meant to run ok? :)

Here's the missing boot image you need for C. Unbranding the Spark Vodafone_UK operator

[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
Carrying on from my last post regarding the issues I've had, I've noticed another couple of issues. Once the Asian ROM is installed along with the radio upgrade I cannot connect to Zune and updates for apps from the Marketplace don't show at all.

So I've had to revert to the basic Vodafone ROM to get a Zune connection and auto updates from the Marketplace. :(

hello, I have been blasted on here before with the same question. I am using a pre-release phone, for legitimate testing purposes to begin with.

Normally I put the phone away and move onto the next, however i have kept using the Spark as my main phone.

the firmware, os and radio versions are all older than the ones you have stated.

Im using the 6527 mainline build.

firmware: 0.92.178.2

tried to use your files without luck. Unfortunately I dont have an android device at the moment to create a gold card.

device is unlocked and unbranded. Is there any way to install one of the production release versions? or should I just wait for the official update in a month or so?

thanks for your good work.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

As always stated the most important is the device CID i.e. the operator.

When flashing a branded ROM it will return a Vender ID Error or flashing is ok.

For a WP7 device is a must to know it when one buys a phone.

Hi all,

I have a problem, the updater says "Corrupetd Rom" and it close the aplication with Exit button. Nice, not problem yet i can try with another ROM.

The problem is that i cant exit for bootloader (tricolor) screen. When i reset, the phone go to bootleader screen. If i take off the battery is same, bootloader again. How can i exit from bootloader screen?

thanks.

PS. Sorry for my english.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi Ansar,

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by all the files and options for flashing the ROM. I have a Vodafone UK branded Trophy, but would like to load a generic HTC Europe ROM, as would be found on a generic sim-free unit bought in the UK.

The reason for this is to get rid of the Vodafone branding, and to ensure that all phone updates come through from Microsoft and not get stopped by Vodafone.

Is this possible? And is there any downside to doing this, will the phone and software work as expected, and will it receive the phone updates as per normal?

Thanks,

gjmartin
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Then the 4.1 section it applies to your case.

You can flash 4.1.1.2 ROM and then 4.1.1.3 ROM in order to boot.

Yes after unbranding you will receive the updates with no problem, i tested with HD7 unbranded ROMs.

When a NoDo or preNoDo or metaNoDo or whatever NoDo is available it will be available for all operators.

May be at 1st it will be available for one operator (Europe) but gradually it will be available for all hopefully.

You can return to your operator ROM with the available branded Vodafone_UK ROM (see relevant thread).

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Thanks Ansar,

Are those ROMs essentially a Vodafone ROM, but without the branding or are they HTC Generic?

From what I can gather on the MS site, branded devices are still dependent on the mobile operators for updates. Operators can choose to block one update in two. O2 in the UK have already stated they will not be sending out the Pre-NoDo update for their branded devices! I want to get away from the operators messing and delaying with updates.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

The unbranded ROM for your case is an HTC_Europe one and can receive the NoDo updates.

I also added a new RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.10.161.06_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar ROM for Vodaphone_UK operator.

Now Vodafone_UK users can choose of two branded ROMs to flash of their own operator.

Regadrs, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Thanks Ansar,

Looking at my phone as it is currently;

FW: 2250.09.10906.161

So reading your notes my ROM is;

ROM:1.09.161.06

So if I do flash the unbranded 4.1.1.2 version in your first post, it should work, but I will not be able to go back to my original ROM. I will either have to load;

ROM:1.07.161.04 or 1.10.161.06

Any idea what the difference is between the 07, 09 & 10 in the ROM numbers?

Sorry for all the questions, just want to ensure I don't brick my phone :)

GERMAN VODAFONE Unbranding?

hey ansar...

i have a little question about flashing one of these roms...

so i have a german Vodafone branded Trophy

Fw: 2250.09.10802.162

am i able to flash any of these roms you`ve posted on first post so far?

i always get the Error "Invalid Vender ID"

is there no chance for me to unbrand my trophy?

a little short reply if i can unbrand my trophy or if it will be possible in future would be great.

Hi.

I just tried to flash both the 1.1.1.2 and The 1.1.1.3 but it did not work. (Wrong Vender ID). Does that mean that I'll have to wait for a A1 operator ROM to get rid of the branding, and receive the updates trough MS?

Thanks for your help.

[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi Ansar,

I downloaded the 4.1.1.2 ROM during the day, tried flashing it tonight and it got to 10% and then reported 'Flash Write Error [226]', I downloaded the same file again (thinking the first might have been corrupted) but it came back with the same error. I'm just waiting for the Rapidshare timeout, then I'll try the 4.1.2.2 and see if that one works.

I did also download the new branded ROM for Voda UK that you put up recently and that does flash and gives me back a working phone, but I would like to get it unbranded if possible.

Could your 4.1.1.2 ROM be corrupted?

As an update, things have not gone well. I used the 4.1.2.2 ROM to unbrand my device and then used 4.1.2.3 to allow it to boot. Upon boot I found that Zune would not see the device at all, Marketplace did not work. So I used the latest Branded ROM that seemed to work previously to go back to a fully working device. The ROM loaded, but upon boot I could not connect to my Wi-Fi. This was because the MAC address had changed, and seems to change on every reboot. Looking at the "About" in settings shows;

Radio Software Version: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

Radio Hardware Version: 0.0.0.0

I download the branded Radio, same version as the ROM I used, and that comes up with Invalid ID when trying to load. I tried to reload the full ROM, and that does the same, and then I tried to reload the unbranded version and again that reports Invalid ID.

Any ideas on how to get it fully working again?

Thanks,

Hi,

I hope these can help you recover:

- After flashing we must re-activate/sign in with our windows live ID again in order to enter market place etc.

- It not possible a ROM flashing to change the CID.

- After an Error occurs during flashing we must follow the instructions to recover.

- Take out the battery for some minutes, replace and enter to bootloader mode.

- Flash the old (1.07.161.04) or new (1.10.161.06) branded Vodafone_UK ROM.

- Let me know for further help.

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi,

No luck, with both the 1.07.161.04 or the 1.10.161.06 branded ROMs, it keeps reporting 'Invalid Model ID' and then in the lower right of the RUU window it gives this 'VER3-SQCU5567-N-PD6355670' I don't know if that is a dump of the error, giving details of what it is expecting? I have done a calculate CRC and that comes back with 'BL CRC-0x7BCEB2AA' I don't know if that helps with any model identification?

My "About" reports all this;

OS Version: 7.0.7004.0

FW Revision number: 2250.09.11006.161

Hardware Revision number: 0003

Radio Software Version: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

Radio Hardware Version: 0.0.0.0

Bootloader version: 1.10.2250.6(114443)

Chip SOC Version: 2.2.5.0

Again don't know if that helps with identification?

Hey Ansar,

I have bought my Trophy in Poland. It is without simlock but with Voda logo at startup. Guy who sold me trophy said that its is from Germany.

I have FW: 2250.09.10906.162 so my ROM should be like this: 1.09.162.06

Radio HW: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U

How can I Download or make ROM from my phone and send it to you ?

Or maybe it wont be helpful ??
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

From:

FW Revision number: 2250.09.11006.161

Radio Software Version: 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U and

Bootloader version: 1.10.2250.6(114443)

is derived that the last flashed and running ROM is the

RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.10.161.06_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar.

The only possible reason that can lead to CID change:

- Failure due to flashing interruption during Radio ROM flashing update or

- Hardware flashing with usb cable and internal sd card.

But from what you report none occured.

Due to more unbranded ROMs i created, the thread is updated, see post #1.

See if newer Vodafone_UK can be flashed and do not try other operator yet.

What windows OS is running on your PC/laptop?

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Download is not yet feasible and will wait for the final NoDo from MS to see if will be implemented.

Your phone ROM probably is for the Vodafone_DE operator.

I do prepare a Vodafone_DE branded and unbranded ROMs and hope to upload them soon.

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi Ansar,

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, and I'm just using the HTC supplied USB cable and the RUU packages that I download from this thread.

Which newer ROM should I try, there are two sections for Voda_UK, do you mean the UBR 4.2.1.2 or the 4.2.2.2?

Thanks,
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Try both but 1st the UBR 4.2.1.2

Before that shutdown both PC and phone.

After power on see if the phone is recognized by the PC.

Regards. ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
No luck with either of those two ROMs. It gets to 1% then reboots the phone and report Invalid Model ID. What I need is a ROM that does not do any validation and just flashes the phone, don't know if anything like that exists?

Whatever I've done wrong it has really messed up the phone, it works but the MAC keeps changing because of the Radio ROM not being correct, and that probably affects the Bluetooth as well, and not sure about the normal comms, GSM/Edge/etc.

I'll have to contact HTC and try and get it repaired, as I've invalidated the warranty I'll have to see how much they charge first.

Thanks for all your help Ansar, but I'll leave the Rom upgrading for a while.

Regards,
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

The Invalid Model ID Error probably denotes a hardware component failure.

I hope you will resolve it with your operator soon.

Hello again,

As i wrote few post ago I have ROM: 1.09.162.06 and the radio: 5.50.09.15_22.23.50.09U

Can I safely use this one:

RUU_Spark_Vodafone_DE_1.09.401.08_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.23.50.09U_Signed_by_ansar

to unbrand ??

by the way, what does it mean "with CID VODAP102" how can I check it to be sure that i will not brick my phone.

thx

And then when the app shows that every thing is ok i go to settings to check SW and what it shows !!ta da: 1.09.401.08 so its from rom which update fails.

BUT radio is from the second one rom :) WTF ??

SO to be clear, write now i have phone with:

[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] DominikZ:
That's unfortunate... :/

Where do u get these ROMs anyway?
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Hi Ansar,

Before I contact HTC, I'm pretty sure that the reason for the failure is somehow the CID was overwritten or corrupted. Is there any way of re-writing the CID? Because the CID is possibly wrong and unknown any of the ROMs I try to flash return with an Invalid Model ID, I did try with a different region ROM and that returned Invalid Vendor ID, so I'm definitely using the correct Voda_UK ROM's.

One possible way to get round the Model ID issue is to use a Gold Card to flash my device, as from what I’ve read states that the Gold Card will flash any device with any ROM, is this correct?

Could this possibly restore the CID?

Thanks,

[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

This makes sense in the way that the ROM you did try had a proper Model ID but invalid CID.

What ROM did you try?

Open that ROM RUU_signed.nbh file with a hex editor.

The Model ID is at 0x40 (hex position) and of a length of 9 bytes, i.e.: PC4010000 for a trophy.

The CID is at 0x220 i.e.: HTC__001

Let me know the ROM name and the Model ID you found.

Some operators use a slightly different Model ID than others for the same device.

Do not do anything else yet.

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Apologies Ansar,

I could not quite remember the sequence when I posted earlier, I have so many files I downloaded I lost track of which is which.

The one that report 'Invalid Vendor ID' was a radio ROM 'RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar' I tried this because of my thinking that the only thing wrong with mine was the Radio ROM. I've opened it up in Hex Edit and it shows exactly as you state above 'PC4010000' and the same CID 'HTC__001'.

So the one above reports Invalid Vendor, is that because the CID is the first validation check?

The full ROM 'RUU_Spark_Vodafone_UK_1.10.161.06_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar' report 'Invalid Model ID' so again does that mean that my phone reports something different to 'PC4010000'? I opened up the file in Hex Edit and that reported the same Model but the CID was 'VODAP001'.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

As we see both ROMs have the same Model ID and the latest the correct for your phone CID i.e. VODAP001, that definitely is not reported as invalid.

So the CID of your phone has not been changed and is VODAP001.

The problem is that the latest ROM reports a Model ID error although it is correct i.e. PC4010000.

Usually this occurs due to internal flashing procedure or SD card failure.

Since the device is still working, probably will be replaced if returned.

Regards, ansar.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] :
Thanks Ansar,

Is there any tools available that will allow me to read the Model ID from my phone, I've have read about a tool called MTTY, Would that allow me to read and possible write a new Model ID?

Thanks,
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

There is no way to do this, it is part of the flashing process.

Only the operator service possibly can restore it by sw and/or hw means.
