Help on ROM (Invalid Vender ID error)

[Guest stilgar]

I got a Orange SPV C500 and i'm from romania, and i tried to get the latest ROM upgrade on my phone but it initializes the installer and then it says "Invalid vendor ID". I saw a post similar to this one but it was for PDA-phones not Smartphones so if you could give me a solution i'd be very pleased and hope someone knows how to deal with this problem.

Thanks in advance! Stil

You can use SPV Services found HERE to CID unlock your phone, this will allow you to flash any rom to your phone so long as the ROM is for a HTC Typhoon based device.

you need to copy Cert.cab to your phone and then run it from your phone. Then try running the program again :rolleyes:

[EDIT:Don't extract Cert.cab..... just copy it to the phone as it is]
