Dead SPV ( alias HTC VOX )

[liciniu]

Dear All,

After two years of loyal services my spv e 650 , alias HTC Vox quit working . It is not booting at all , although It is starting in boot loader mode. My problem is that it is a branded orange romania phone , and I'm not able to find an original Rom version, neither to burn an unbranded version , because of the 1.22 USPL , which I'm not able to downgrade because the phone doesn't start in normal mode , in order to have an active sync connection for the USPL up(down)grade. To resume : phone is branded , doesn' t start in normal mode , but does start in boot loader ( version of SPL 1.22.0000 ). Is there any way to burn an unofficial Rom version ? Thank you in advance for any advices ,

Look up the "Gold Card" method in the Wiki. You need a non-SDHC memory card of any size and the free programs mentioned. It will write a special key to the boot sector of the memory card that will allow to load any ROM to the device in bootloader mode.

Hi Tobbbie,

After several tries ( I don't know what went wrong ) I've managed to do it. although it worked with only one version of ROM , HTC made, but I do have a fully functional phone . Many, many thanks for your hint,

Good to read that - I also have to revise my statement about which ROMs are loaded with the Gold Card method. Only valid signed ROMs (either HTC or other branded ones) will load - cooked ROMs are not loaded with the Gold Card method as they are not valid signed.
