if you need to do it this way then you will need the italian updaters look for risidoros post extrakt them overwright the originals and that should work

I am trying to update to RUU_HER_Cingular_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe (to get the unit to English) but no matter how many times I try to rerun the flash utility, it always comes back with INVALID VENDOR.
Anybody can help with that?
Thanks
Which bootloader version do you have? If you have 1.06 you need a rom matching your CID with bootloader 1.04 to be able to flash any rom without the invalid vender id.
That seems to be exactly the problem. SoftBank Japan ships the phone originally with Bootloader 1.06 (I thick I have one of the first commercially available here) and there is no 1.04 ROM with the same CID. Basically I think that means that we're stuck here in Japan with the SoftBank incarnation of the TyTN unless somebody comes up with a way to... umhh... bypass the CID check...
I just check my X01HT to see the CID code and this is what I read "HTCS0000HTCEUSB". Does this mean that the unit is unlocked already and any rom should work? Thanks
Probably it will be "00000000" (8 zeros instead of 4) which is a SuperCID. If you want to be 100% sure you won't loose SuperCID status, flash something with bootloader 1.04 the first time to make sure it is kept after the upgrade.
Thank you for the help. I am going to use Cingular and I am think about their first version here on the site.
I was just thinking about the whole IMEI-CHECK website... Is there any way to build a program that based on IMEI, can generate the unlock file for the program used by IMEI-CHECK?
Here is the G4 WIZARD unlock program provided on their website for people to take apart and disect to see if you can figure out how to make a program to generate the unlock file based on IMEI.
I know warez are frowned on here and this is why I only posted the program which can be downloaded here but technically the program is freeware, it's the unlocking service that isn't free and thats what we're trying to fix.
well i guess if it was so easy, people would do it before .
right now i'm flashing with Softspl , and no problems - i'm happy with it ! .
Yes I was using SoftSPL for a few days but since then I got a handset exchange and was gifted with a G3 which got CID unlocked as soon as I put my battery in it.
I am just thinking about it because I used to have a G4 and SoftSPL is simple and almost the exact same thing as stand alone RUU, it even calls the RUU when it is time so it is even the same number of clicks but it just isn't the same thing... I don't have to worry about any of it at all. I can flash happy from one custom rom to the next and never even think twice(is this gonna mess up my phone?) I just don't even have to think about it since even my IPL/SPL can be changed. All available roms are now safe for me to just run the Ruu and be good to go.
I think that is why it would be nice to see a way to permanantly CID unlock so that you COULD change the IPL/SPL and not have to worry about permanently bricking your phone if you accidently flash a rom with the wrong IPL/SPL.
I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from too...
No...
Even with a CID-unlocked G4 (By IMEI-check), flashing a G3 RUU still bricks the device, so it is not related to unlocked or not, it is a matter of G3 or G4 IPL/SPL.
What CID-unlocking in G4 gives is completely the same with SSPL.
Hard SPL for G4 already exists

With this 2.21.olipro SPL the fix is permanent (until another SPL is flashed over)

So I got hspl flashed on my phone and the Lokiwiz installation seemed to go well, but how do I know if my phone is CID Unlocked?
If my phone is CID Unlocked, what roms can I flash to my phone?
No, G4 is only unlockable by using either SoftSPL or HardSPL.
Lokiwiz can only SIM unlock G4 Wizard, not CID unlock.
Oh! I see.
Can you help me?

Maybe you can try to flash your Prophet to HardSPL, then flash WM6 by using RUU directly.
Is it a G3 or G4? Check the IPL/SPL... If it is a G4, CID can only be hard-spl fixed, but shouldn't need to be changed if you use the 'old' ROM upgrade method.
thanks,I have succesful flash PRO.
