Guest Erhnam Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 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!

Guest magical_trevor Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 @sameerhalai- If you've got a UK C500, what's the point in trying to install the French ROM, Orange UK have announced a proper UK update for their C500s is imminent, why not just be patient, instead of leading your phone down a dead end?
