Trick: Update ROM

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!

Unfortunately mine has the same problem. I changed it to IMATE's ROM and cannot get back to Orange's

;)

I managed to downgrade/flash back another rom by typing a higher version number in nbftool.

Try it

Hi,

just downloaded the NBFTool, when I open an NBF file using the tool it says file loaded but all the information is in a strange coded form like this:

Manufacturer:

HúÅ IØw;)È€¾åÔêἚûb8“' <ý™º˜ûå8µ§ó–T ;`;p©¬8ƒ&®óBŸÞF82TFWæBé$žs8_]Å{éÀ~%ª!|ßÚ;¢øÓçàü½YzX»%øug3ÑV”àû û°iìøCæî3‚_ž†øò†—Ѧ‚)dÞ³ø»©H

and the NUM Section reports -32

how do you use this tool???

Which ROM you trying to flash?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The latest and only one update that Orange UK has released (RUU_v0.995_OrangeUK_v4.1.1.4.exe)

Do you suggest something different?

Could you please tell me what the above settings should read, if i am trying to install the French ROM Update (RUU_1.02_OrangeFR_v4.2.2.1_Ship2) on my Orange SPV C500 which currrently has the UK ROM (RUU_v0.995_OrangeUK_v4.1.1.4).

When I open the French ROM in Typhoon I get:

Manufact. HTC

Model ID. SPV C500

Image Version 4.2.2.1

Language FRENCH

Sec. Ver. 2.0.2.13

Operator ORANGE02

Num sect. 5

What do I need to change in the above thing to get through with the update?

@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?
