Default Latest Vodaphone UK shipped ROM for HD Mini?

I see that Photon hosts some shipped ROMS.

My Girlfriend has just purchased a UK Vodaphone HD Mini and I wonder if there is a new shipped ROM as there are only patches available on the Vodaphone UK site?

The current ROM on her phone is 1.07.401.1 (85429) WWE
ROM date 21st March 2010
Radio: 0.63.05.05

Many thanks

EDIT: Whoops... Sorry! used the search! I'm dyslexic and sometime find it hard to sort through textual information.

Vodafone haven't released their ROM yet (as you have already noticed from their website), they must still be testing/modding it. They are always a bit behind the curve in releasing Vodafone "approved" ROMs.

If you want the newest version ROM on your device you'll need to use SSPL and the 1.36.401.1 ROM posted up on conflipper's site. (Follow the shipped ROMs link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701507 )

Not impressed - it seems posting this has possibly drawn attention to the shipped ROMs site and the account has been suspended...

I should have exercised some impatience and downloaded the ROM this morning rather than driving 200 miles home only to find the files no longer available. :eek:(

The main Shipped ROMs site has been suspended after HTC got heavy with Conflipper, though they have agreed to allow already posted ROMs to remain.

You can find the HD Mini ROMs Here

Ahhh... Many thanks

Downloaded and attempted to upgrade the stock ROM with a stock update...

Invalid Vender ID at 1% falshing then dropped out.

Had a look for a Hard SPL for the Mini and it seems that it's not yet available for this device. (I wish she'd bought an HD2 now... )



So how do I go about updating the stock UK ROM to a newer stock ROM when it's in an *.exe file?

Is there some way to extract the ROM image and hence use DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe to update the ROM?

The stock ROM *.exe file it's a rar archive and contains different files (RUU, nbh, dll, etc). You can try to extract the *.nbh file and run it with mini_spl in the same folder.

BUT, it's just an ideea, maybe i'm wrong, i never tried this way since my phone it's not branded.

I already tried opening the exe with WinRAR (I'm on V3.93) but no option to extract. Any other ideas?

WinRAR or 7Zip should give an 'extract' option, but they don't always.

The only other method is to connect the phone to the PC and run the update EXE file, agree the changes but don't continue to the start of the flash itself.

This process will have extracted the contents of the ROM update to a temporary folder on the PC. It's just a matter of locating it! When you have, you can copy the RUU_signed*.nbh file to the folder with the SSPL_mini file.

Be aware that only the OS ROM will be updated by this method- the Radio ROM cannot yet be updated other than with a full stock ROM flash.

I have a Vodafone Mini like yourself and followed the instructions from the SSPL thread. Worked a treat.
