Here is an official Vox WM6 ROM, hope it helps rom maker to develop new rom for tornado.

http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Vox_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.19.707.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.9 0_Ship.exe

I thought ClearType was only available on PPC??

It's possible to turn on ClearType on SP, I'm enjoying it on my Qtek 8310.

Doposia? Dopod? Is it another name of HTC S710?:confused:

HTC uses Dopod as their brand in Asia. For example:

Dopod 577W = Qtek 8310

Dopod C500 = HTC S710 = SPV E650

where is the rom from?

It's the lastest rom for Dopod C500, I got it from Dopod Asia.

Well in fact i 'm a NoLife, I have no friends :D

I just wanted to know if it was available for S710 or no, not which HTC/Brand it was.

Thx anyway

It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.

It looks like the VOX is builded on same base as Tornado so it should work just flash it... did somebody try it?

i flashed to this rom because i found my vox to be too slow for my liking. so far it seems stable. the only problem that i have encountered is that the overclocking program wont run now.

i had to cid unlock my device. i used imei-check.uk and all went well (after they made me send a copy of my license to verify who i am). the install went smooth. the device seems slightly quicker when switching screen orientation while in the messaging application. not fast, but a little quicker. my device would take several seconds before and sometimes it would freeze while doing this.

if i encounter any problems i will make note of it here.

interesting. i hope someone will cook the rom, to make it available with all the must:
TCPMP, live messenger, etc
Right now I stay on my SFR S710 rom, as i debrand it with modaco ' s stuff, and customized it like i wanted.

We'll see what this rom as to offer.

I just tried to flash my unbranded HTC Vox and I am getting the following:

ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID

This is really weird, I thought unbranded phones were all CID unlocked? Is that erro because it is locked? I was hoping to load this up becase my vox is a little slow too, but mostly because I was hoping that it fixes the continous reboot problem with microsd card. I have tried to clear out the notifications and that hasn't fixed the reboot problem.

Any ideas?

Damm, they want $38 to unlock the phone...what happened to those free CID unlockers on the older phones. Any way to do this for free? Hehehe. Do you like the new rom? Want to make sure it's worth it....

ER....Just thinking about it it's the real HTC S710(/VOX/Orange SPV E650 ) ROM? Right?

Not Tornado (C600?) ? :confused:

This one has all the stuff ready (Windows Live, etc) ?

Is there French inside? Or only English? I don't bother English, but I prefere French :p


the overclocking program wont run now.

OmapClock 0.2? Did you App-Unlock ?

I don't see this option on HTC S710 :eek:



Dopod C500 = HTC S710 = SPV E650

Oh I see, that's what I expected. But the C500 reminded me Orange SPV C500 :D
BTW, Tornado is the name of Orange SPV C500 or C550 or C600 (don't remember) ? So what 's the point with HTC S710's WM6.0 ROM? They can't be compatible.


It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.
Well , I'd have to pay 28Euros to CID unlock via IMEI Check .co.uk , then if it's only ENglish.... Well , that's not for me righ now. ;)

1. Modify the registry as following then reset your phone.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearType\Quality=1

If you got no Key ClearType just create one then create DWORD Quality.

2. I know it is not compatible with Tornado, but I hope that rom maker can extract something useful from it.

3. Keep waiting for an european multi-language rom for your S710.

CID unlock is a way to unlock your phone, which make SP available for free rom update.
Well I think he knows the purpose of CID Unlock, but can't do it with SDA unlocker, since it's not useable with this device .See above my tranlation.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDiffe rGprsEdgeIcon = 1

Do it as above-mentioned then you can see the EDGE icon.
Well, it's already there, I knew this key, I already used this trick on my SPV C600. But the matter is I always see GPRS, not EDGE. Seems a problem with my network provider though. (SFR)

Well since you could update you're SPV C500 rom withouth CID unlocking it should be possible to do the same for the s710. The steps for the spv c500 update were the following:

In this little howto I'll explain how to update every C500:

First you'll need to download this tool:

http://www.mobismart.net/Download/TyphoonNbfTool.zip

Step 1 download the latest rom Update from the Orange Site and the NBFTool
Step 2 Open the update, on the first welcome screen all files are unpacked. Lookup for the NBF file in the temp directory.
Step 3 Open the NBF file with the NBF tool and change the following:

(This is a dutch example. Each country has different settings!)
Manufact. HTC
Model ID. SPV C500
Image Version 4.1.1.4
Language DUTCH
Sec. Ver. 1.1.1.91
Operator ORANGE (or leave empty)
Num sect. 5
Header CRC 0xB9BF3D34

Step 4 Recalculate the header.
Stap 5 Save back to the temp directory
Stap 6 Repeat with the update

Please stay calm at 99%, this can take a while!

Good luck and at your own risk!

Alle we need now is to know the settings of the different operators to set in the NBF file

NO!!
You can download it but you CAN'T flash it to your device. Your device is HTC Tornado so it is diferent than HTC Vox.
Every rom is device specific, so you CAN'T use rom from other product family. Use rom for tornado. Wm6 roms are available for your device, just look around.

Hi,
I believe I have the latest WWE ROM on my HTC S710 but I was wondering if there was a Radio Upgrade. I recently upgraded just the Radio on my HTC Touch and it solved my problem.
On the S710, I am having trouble connecting to a particular network in Jamaica (Digicel). However, the phone works on the other GSM network here quite fine. In the past, I have merely upgraded either the ROM or the Radio on my previous HTC phones and this solved the problem.
I have this Radio version 4.1.13.37_02.83.90
Is there a newer version out there? If so, please post a link so I can try to update.
Many thanks.

I just got a phone (c500) and wanted to reflash my phone with the lastest rom(dopod) since there are some extra features.

The phone is not branded but i got a vendor ID error.
RUU_Vox_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.19.707.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.9 0_Ship.exe

From what I can tell I need to have my CID unlock, it there anyway to unlock it other than through the website?

jychow:i think i have your solution, i will post it up if i get it working.

As far as I know, WWE means World Wide English.

The rom has English language builtin, may have others as well but at least English is present.

its the fastest and stablest rom I've ever seen! especially fast, and with omap on 240 its just flying. So I definitely advise it. You can choose not to install the arabic part: it asks.

HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe is what had to be on the phone right from the start. Faster than 1.15 and more stable. Seems another phone. Ok, I exagerate a bit but definitely you won't regret it.

As already said, if aren't into Arabic, just skip that part of the Post installation.

I have this HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe, but i have some problems:
1)when i choose no arabian i have some kind of rectangle, squares etc instead of letters.
So I install polish lang pack becouse i cannot find english or US pack. The letters will appear, but the button "fn" and "caps" dosn't work. I push it and nothing. What's wrong?? I want to have this rom so maybe you can help me. What file i need to install after this rom install, and where i can find it. I want to have US or english lang. or full polish lang.

regards

edit: OMG!! what a shame!!! nevermind. I change xt9 and there it is!! :/

Well, I'm having the same problem. Azerty keyboard but now I'm stuck with Qwerty settings.

Please, if anyone knows how to solve this. Is there a registry key for this?

Thanks for any response.

Thanks but this doesn't work at all for me. It installs but afterwards, even after a soft reset, it doesn't change to azerty settings.

Am I missing something here? Do I need to change country locale's somewhere?

Hello,

I have a french HTC with azerty keyboard with HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47 rom.
It works well, it is totally in french, except my keyboard (in abc mode) write in qwerty (when i type on visual touch A, a Q appears on the screen).

I made all the steps of the second post in the thread you posted.
And when i want to write with keyboard, nothing appears on screen !
I maybe made a mistake in I my "eT9.Vox.040C.kmap.txt". I attached this file to the post.
Could you tell me what's wrong in this file?

What can I do?????

Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english...

Ok this was the method I was going to post, I didn't have this problem.. Did you try to soft reset your device and replace the file just after booting ? Maybe you also have to uncheck the read only attribute of this file ?
Maybe you will be interested by the rom I am currently trying to cook. It is based on the ARA one but I removed the Arabic language and made it for our azerty keyboards among other changes.

I tried swapping the files after a soft reset but this doesn't solve the problem. It still says the file already exists and the phone says I should check if the target file is in use or protected.

There must be a way to check if the original file is protected...but how?

The file options when using the file explorer on the phones are limited, maybe there's another way to browse the phone's 'windows' folder
on the PC? Then, maybe, I can change the file's security values.

Edit: If anyone has a French (azerty) ROM, that would be fine too. That way I'll just use it in english.

Or maybe you just FULLY application unlock your device??!!

Your phone is behaving like this, becouse it is NOT fully unlock or not unlock at all!!

After unlock, you will find no problems overwriting files in rom and while overwrited, it will stay there for good.

So what should I use to unlock it? It's an original HTC and just to be sure I always used the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe file.

And since I started to use Total Commander I'm able to overwrite the system files. So my wild guess is that my phone certainly is unlocked.

If your phone is deleting system files you put in, then phone is not fully unlocked. Simple as that.
To unlock it, you need any registry editor for your phone, change the security policy. I don`t remember the exact keys, but you can find it in many articles over the net or this forum.

Rafael : the best thing to do in my opinion is to simply replace eT9.Vox.0409.kmap.txt in the windows folder, without renaming it eT9.Vox.040C.kmap.txt..
Or of you choose to rename it look inside the registry in : [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayouDlls]
and edit the key "000007FF". Replace the value with the name of your new file ("eT9.Vox.040C.kmap.txt").

I suppose that is the only thing needed for the language pack. There are other cabs like the dictionary, the Hijri Calander, and the Prayer Times (as it is on the PocketPC platform), but these are not needed for the Arabic core to work.

Guys, it gets a bit confusing after reading about so many ROMs, and ways to flash them.

This is my current situation:

I have a Dopod C500 with ROM version: 1.19.708.2, and Radio version 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. I got it in Hong Kong, and it's in WWE.

This is my doubt:

1) Can I flash this phone using a Vox ROM? I think so, but any confirmation is good! :)

2) I read in this thread that the HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe ROM is really good (I quote: "its the fastest and stablest rom I've ever seen! especially fast, and with omap on 240 its just flying. So I definitely advise it. You can choose not to install the arabic part: it asks").

3) Finally, while browsing XDA's FTP, in the Shipped folder there is a version called: RUU_Vox_HTC_Vox_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90. exe

QUESTION: which of the two is more reliable, good, interesting, etc!
