Reverting back to HTC ROM and SPL for warranty return?

[hsn]

At the point I am I need the help of experienced Users from the community.

I flashed a original HTC Wings (S730) with WM 6.1 ROM. It runs perfectly :) until I got a hardware problem (radio) :(. This is the reason I have to send it back to the official service.

Therefore I tried to go back to an official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WINGS_WM61_Alcaline

At first I flashed the earlier backuped Bootloder via sspl-0.91-wings.exe. This seems to be okay. But as I tried to flash an official ROM from the site mentioned above, during the flashing process I've got the note 'ERROR 294 Invalid vendor ID'. What was wrong? Did I forget any step?

Please, is there anyone who can describe the correct way back to 'warranty' for a newbie?:confused:

Thanx a lot.

have you tried all the ROM's? there is one prerelease and two release ROM's.. try both of the release roms, they might be for different production models/locations.

I tried both official released ROM's (signed as 'Ship'), not the prerelease version.

and if you first flash the shiped rom (with hardspl) and when done flash the back-up of the spl

With reference to an earlier statement of bigflavour in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383617&page=17
I flashed back the original SPL at first.

Too bad :eek: It seems to be that I have a new problem now. Few minutes ago I have tried to reinstall hardSPL on the device via the well known sspl-0.91-wings.exe running on the Wings. But as I started the sspl, the device shows on the display that 'Access denied....is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate'.

Thereupon I thought I had to 'application_unlock' the device. After running the SDA_App...Unlock on my PC the display message shows succesful unlocking process. B U T, the sspl doesn't run as before.

Now, I'm totally confused. What has happened?? :(

It's flavor, and unfortunately, I have no idea how to help you.

Probably tried the European english's spelling hehe.

Also This does seem like an odd problem, have you tried for kicks doing the factory reset to see if it will reset some of the registry and maybe fix your issues? I dont know anything about the spl's since I have no need to upgrade to 6.1, I wouldnt imagine it causing any more damage but again I dont know what all was done. I havnt followed those threads for a long time.

Thanx a lot. Apparently, the hint to make a hard reset hits the mark. Now I flashed back the HardSPL. So I'm back at the starting line :) . Does anyone knows if the official ROM from the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._WM61_Alcaline is the latest one and can I use it for the warranty return?
Or should I look for an original German HTC ROM?

[hsn]

I was a little bit to fast. I will need a German ROM definitely, because the ROM from the Wiki doesn't include a the german language option.

Is there anyone who can help me with a original HTC S730 ROM for the german market?

Thank you in advance.

Hallo HSN,

if you give me a introduction how I backup my ROM, you can have my one. I own a German HTC S730. But I am confused when I read all threads about flashing etc....
One page introduction how to back up and you can have my one.
But I think that the Repair center here in Germany, doesn't care about the Rom you have installed.
