What it does is that it will change your standard SPL (Red, blue, geen and white usb) logo to a RSPL or HSPL.
• RSPL loads on on ram only so upon switching off you lose it and it will return to the original SPL (OSPL).
• HSPL replaces your SPL into the ROM.
Blue = Optional steps or notes
Green = my comments
Purple = woo fun facts/news
Step Action
1. Power Off, then power on while holding volume down.
(Red, blue, geen and white usb) logo, have a quick look at the SPL to compare for Step 3 later.
2. Open the launch file with RSPL label, follow onscreen next and click next to Flash with RSPL (it will reboot your phone).
Note: I’ve got 3 options to select for the SPL versions, but they all revert back to the middle on so it doesn’t matter.
3. Once it is rebooted it will be in RSPL mode with the similar look to SPL, but you can see the numbers are different and labelled RSPL instead of SPL (shown on XDA).
Note: You can do an HSPL bit here if you like, just open the Install file instead of launch labelled HSPL, when its about to reboot hold down volume so you don’t have to manually power off and on again. You will notice it says HSPL now.
Extras: I’m using HSPL incase they patch the SPL bootloader in the near future. Nothing major really just stops the rom flashing software from upgrading.
4. Flash any Ansar or Release Roms from any country (I prefer Europe release as it has the latest radio version) without a signed_spl.ngb file.
Note: some firmware includes the spl into the rom, so you may want to edit it and remove that.
Extras: This part usually fails as it detects wrong vendor ID.
Attention: the DFS team has also released a Mango rom unlocked, but requires zune 4.8 to run and they modified the boot logo to DFS and changed the start page (annoying!), but its running smoothly… so far; I can’t use the caller ID display fix from advancedconfig tool (naturally that tool doesn’t work on mango either).
5. Bingo!
6. Optional - Install HTC connection setup xap and change your network provider to VF NZ so that you have the correct message centre details etc..

so, i have trophy spl version 1.22.2250 and i cant install the rspl, why?
its AT-A1 (mobilkom austria a1) branded.
This was extremely easy on my Spark.
Followed the instructions and within a minute or so I had HSPL.
Super work, thanks a lot!
Now let me try to get Mango on the device.

Sure.
First of all get DFT_XSPL_WP7FG2.rar from here.
Now get your phone into SPL Mode as described above.
Launch DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH.exe select your SPL version and hit next.
After reboot, verify, that you are on Cotulla RSPL. Now you can launch the ROM Update utility. I used RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_ 22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar from here

Actually, I did. The owner of the thread states that there is no working version for that specific SPL yet. That is why I was curious.
Anyway, the required version isn't available in the list.

Apparently it does.. At least it did work for me. Because I'm now using an HTC_Europe Rom w/o any branding. And I got the additional htc Theme colour which was not available before - so definately a new ROM..
for those with problematics spl versions, i had 1.22 so it was impossible to make it
but i found a solution:
go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
download and flash your correpondient version of the rom (it depends on the operator brand)
every rom on that topic has a inferior spl version so if you flash it, it will downgrade the spl version and you will be able to do the rspl/hspl process
regards
If there is a stock ROM available for you operator, that's the way to go. So for example the A1 users don't have luck if they have a bootloader higher than 1.20.xxxx
my phone is unlocked does not belong to any operator (buy it online, no carrier) which rom should I use?
please reply??

Don't exactly know what you mean, but you can flash any unbranded stock ROM without RSPL/HSPL. The only thing you need to find is the language of your choice.
For the official Mango update for unbranded Trophy look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265701
If you want to flash a cooked rom, you need RSPL/HSPL. Cooked ROMs for Trophy can be found in the Trophy Development section.
The choice of ROM is fully yours, what ROM suits your needs best?
BTW; please don't post the same question in multiple threads, and give the same bump of your question in those same threads.
Trophy with no USB connection on SPL
Hy,
I have a Trophy, and when I go in SPL mode, it doesn't appear anything in the lower side of the screen (serial or usb). Please HELP!
This is what appears:
PC40100 SS-BC (4K)
SPL-5.0.2250.1 (130781) MNG
MicroP (LED) 0x09
Touch A1 (v10,20)
SD SANDISK 7580Mb
Partition Info-v211v413
F400
The Trophy has a Vodafone branding although I bought it from O2.
So the problem is that I cannot connect my Trophy trough USB for RSPL or HSPL further.
Thank you very much for any help!

Hi guys,
I've just implemented a Vox USPL which allows you to flash any Vox ROM updates, i.e. you can flash any *official* ROM even if your phone's model and vendor ID doesn't match. It's confirmed that you can also flash cooked ROMs
This SPL is based on original Vox 1.16 SPL but includes 3 patches:
1) g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = 0 (set 32)
2) Does not check Model & Vendor ID
3) Does not check signature*
(*) code must be formally signed i.e. contain properly-formatted signatures on the right places, however no checking is performed against them.
This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Vox after running USPL on it, no need to pay for CID unlock anymore!
The USPL will *not* help you to SIM unlock your device. You still have to pay for that.
The USPL runs in RAM and is *not* flashed to your device, so there is no risk there. Once it runs you can run any official Vox ROM update utility.
The USPL does *not* permanently CID unlock your phone, like the CID unlocker from imei-check or so.
After you flashed a ROM your phone is again CID locked. Each time you wonna flash a ROM with a different model and/or vendor ID (different from your phone) or a cooked ROM, you must run the USPL again and then flash the ROM.
It's beta and untested and the risk is entirely yours !! Don't blame me if you brick your phone
EDIT:
You can now also flash the USPL allowing you to flash any unsigned (cooked ROM or ROM module, e.g. radio or OS) or signed ROM with any model/vendor ID. The USPL substitutes your SPL until you perform a full ROM update. Consider it as an extra insurance in case something goes wrong with flashing cooked ROMs or any other ROM update !
Instructions:
1. Run the USPL (Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip)
2. Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe (Vox-USPL-RUU.zip)
Have fun,
JockyW
The attachments:
SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip : application unlocker if u need it
mtty1.42.zip : terminal emulator (not neccessary if u only do ROM updates, but if you wonna play with the bootloader commands you need it)
Vox-USPL-RUU.zip: flash version of USPL (Note: you must first run USPL from "Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip" before you can flash it with ROMUpdateUtility.exe from Vox-USPL-RUU.zip !!!)
Vox USPL- CID BYPASS.zip : instructions included
Credits: in particular to pof. This USPL and also the one for Excalibur is based on his USPL for the Elf. See here
I think this is one of the most fantastic news of the century!!!
Finally some cooking can start on this little device.
Thanks again,
Ka.
noob question
what the difference between sim unlock and cid unlock?
This can be found in various threads around here, anyway.
SIM Lock - You can't use a SIM from a different provider than the one who sold you the phone.
CID-Lock - You can't flash your phone with a ROM which hasn't been cooked by your provider (or manufacturer for HTC unbranded phones).

anyone online right now wanna drop me a line about this... what do I do exactly with the ruu file. Do I place rom image in that folder while runnning update???
so i followed the instructions and executed the cid bypass(installed itsutils and haret). once i get to the end it says use mtty or flash with RUU. so I attempt to flash right after (am I supposed to flash while the screen is black) but its gives me a connections error. I figure its because the phone is off. So I turn it on and update with the RUU again but only make it to 3% before I get a invalid vendor id. Would anyone care to comment on how I can flash this vox to the dopod rom...

To the users who had the same problem as me I am currently flashing my phone and I managed to get past my problem by using the SDA Application unlocker on my vox. I always thought that HTC were already application unlocked. Was going crazy for a while but I guess I should've followed the instructions step-by-step regardless of what I thought.
Big up to jockyw2001(and of course pof for without him alot of us would still be using shipped rom) for this wicked tool.

I only got this phone so I could upgrade it for a friend to stop the boot loop. It seems to have fixed that problem so I guess it's better than the other roms. On the other hand I can't stand smartphone's so my suggestion is to ditch your SP and switch to PPC . Also I read before hand that this ROM doesn't include Windows Live Messenger but it is included in the rom. Just thought I'd let u guys know.
input please
Just ran into another problem and would appreciate some input. I understand that USPL only works for one flash...but I wasn't aware that a hard reset counted as a flash. Regardless my device hung at the dopod boot screen after a hard reset. Is this normal after using USPL on a device, and if so does this occur with all devices??? I would hate to give a phone back and have to tell the person that they can't perform a hard reset...

If you flash a full ROM the SPL is overwritten with the one in the ROM (Dopod = 1.19). Nothing to do with USPL. Booting can take a long time after hard reset. Unplug battery and try again.

Thanks, I got it to work eventually...Good to know USPL doesn't effect hard resets, I guess you learn something new everyday.
If I had to take a guess before hand I'd figure a SP would boot faster than a PPC, but I realize now that I'd be wrong...
thanks to all for the help, I can finally return this Vox back to its owner

Hi
I flashed my E650 in French with the swissrom (present on FTP), all works !
an idea to change the logo operator to HTC original ?
thanks
thought I fixed the problem. seems as if after a day it just hangs at the dopod screen. It was working fine everytime I had it. As soon as I give it back it seems to hang. Guess ima just flash it back to the HTC rom, too much hassle for just $20.
why SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip can't unlock my Orange SPV E650?

Also I have few questions for you, but I will not make another thread because they are related to this topic.
I unbranded my phone with your files, unlocked it and get NODO update via Zune. My current firmware version is 2250.09.10908.401 and my radio is 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U.
1. As far as I understand I still have to update with Vodafone DE (162) files and I can not use HTC Europe (401) files. Right?
2. Is there any chance to update just radio because now I have unlocked Trophy with NODO, and if I put this ROM I will not be able to unlock it.

I really cannot remember what was my initial firmware version. It had red Vodafone theme and Vodafone logo on boot. I guess it had 162 in version, since I downloaded and flashed those two files:
RUU_Spark_Vodafone_DE_1.09.401.08_Radio_5.51.09.06_22.23.50.09U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
RUU_Spark_Vodafone_DE_1.10.162.06_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
Since then my default theme is green and I only have HTC logo on boot. Thank you for that!
Then I unlocked it, installed February update, and then March update. Now I have NODO, and can use Native keyboard, and upload my own ringtones.
The only issue I have at the moment is older radio version then in your new files.
Hi,
You had Vodafone_DE and unbranded to HTC_Europe
The new files in post #1 are of NoDo 7389 and newest HTC OEM 1.20.401 Europe and radio 5.54.09.21
After flashing you will also upgrade MS NoDo with zune to 7390 and retaining newest OEM and radio

I used two files I mentioned in one of previous posts and successfully removed all Vodafone specific features (logo, theme, default webpage...).
It is same with those two files from this post. Only difference is that you will get newer Firmware, OS and Radio.
You can safely flash branded ROM later if you decide that you still want Vodafone specific things.
Ansar posted both branded and unbranded ROMs, so you can decide what you want and switch them at any time.
Please keep in mind that you will lost all your data when you flash ROM, so you should backup with Zune before this.
Now I have some questions for you:
1. Do you need Vodafone specific things or not?
2. Do you need unlocked WP7 or not?
If you do not know what unlocked means, that means that your phone report itself as developer device and you can install anything you want in your phone. Many people think that unlocking is all about how to get illegal stuff, and that is not always true. I need some applications from this forum that are not available at marketplace (Native keyboard for example).
If you need unlocked WP7 then I have two more questions:
3. What is more important to you to have latest Firmware or unlocked phone?
4. What is more important to you to have easy NODO update, or to have unlocked phone?
I need those answers to give you advice what you should do.
Thx my trophy is still unlocked unbranded with a europe Rom and updated to nodo ;-) just wanted to know why IT is called "unbranded" altough its a Vodafone one...

It's call unbranded because you will get clean OS with no brand specific stuff in it (logo, default webpage...).
If you still have Vodafone logo and your current firmware version ends with 162 and not 401, that means that something is wrong there and that you have BRANDED ROM.
If you simply asking why your CID is still same, and why you need to use specific ROMs for Vodafone DE phones, that's because flashing utility checks your CID, and your CID is still same as it was when you got your phone.
If you want to change your CID you have another method for that, but you need one more phone (with removable memory card) and another cable (Gold card method).
I like ansar's ROMs more because you can get clean OS using just a cable that you got with your phone, and that is all you need. You can also revert to branded ROM at any time (I do not want this, but it is still nice to know that).
It is more important to me to have unlocked phone, than to have latest firmware, but having latest radio is nice , so last time I flashed my phone with those two files:
1. RUU_Spark_Vodafone_DE_1.09.401.08_Radio_5.51.09.06 _22.23.50.09U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
2. RUU_Spark_Vodafone_DE_1.20.401.00_Radio_5.54.09.21 _22.33b.50.10U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar
As you can see first file is from older ansar's post (with 7004 OS), and second file from this post (5.54 radio).
I unlocked my phone, installed patch to prevent re-lock, updated to 7008 and then updated to NODO.
Now I have:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.10908.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
UNLOCKED
Disadvantages of this method is that you will have to update two times, and you will need to use a trick from this forum to get NODO.
If you use files from ansar's first post in this thread, you will get NODO pre-release, and you will be notified about NODO update immediately, so you will have to update only once. You will also have latest firmware 12000.
Unfortunately you cannot unlock your phone then (for now).

That was needed to get Nodo earlier, but not anymore.
Nodo is officially rolled out, and an update after that.
Just update your phone over Zune. Let me know if you have any problems.

Hi,
Yes you can do, actually you can flash any Spark ROM

Please ReUp the two files to debrand the Trophy
No chance somebody ReUp the files? The Rapidhsare Links are death
please
So, I'm the (un)lucky owner of a Vodafone branded HTC Trophy. I installed the latest HTC update which landed me on SPL version 1.22.2250.
I figured I want to install this version of Mango since I'll be able to to the rest of the updates trough Zune.
I don't know if I'll be needing to unbrand this device or not, I only know that if I run the proper RUU tool against my RGB screen (boot loader?!) it comes out with error 266 and leaves my phone hanging. I then need to reboot my device by pulling out the battery.
I was fairly advanced with Android's ROM way, and by means are not a stupid person. I googled quite a lot and read through most topics in this sub forum but it doesn't make sense yet.
What I'll be needing: A foolproof way to get to the latest Mango version. I don't care whats in between and are willing to take moderate risk such as flashing HSPL. There are so many ways and terms here I simply don't have the time to figure it all out. Time is money and since I'll hopefully be sparing out a few hours with this way I offer the lucky winner of writing me a fool proof step of plans $10 on paypal.
Also, bare with me. English isn't my native language.

You can contact me in dutch and i might be able to help you out.
Though i have samsung device.
What version are you running? Did you try to upgrade to Mango beta? are you dev-unlocked?
If you are on NoDo and unlocked, make sure you install provxml deployer and run it before upgrading to mango.
Try installing the zune beta and all the files, than do the upgrade, now run the htc connection setup (this will execute some files which will fully unlock your device). After you did this, make sure to run provxmldeployer again, this will place the same files back, you will need these after the second update to mango b2.
This is what I did to get the same ROM.
I had the 1.22.2250 SPL as well, but then I thought to myself that I don't need useless vodafone apps on my phone, I just need OEM apps because they are more useful than a shortcut to vodafone 360.
So, here's what I did:
1. Go here and download the appropriate ROM for your Trophy. You must get 7004/7008 version. You should download the appropriate ROM that matches the characteristic value of your phone. The ROMs in this thread are all branded, but flashing this ROM will downgrade your OS version and SPL version to 1.09 or 1.10 so you can HSPL later.
After the ROM has been downloaded, extract the zip file somewhere easy to find (eg. desktop).
[Step 2 will erase everything on your phone]
2. Connect the phone by holding down volume down key and connect it via USB. Wait until appropriate drivers are installed. Flash the ROM you downloaded from step 1. This should take less than 10 minutes. After flashing, Trophy will restart and boot to normal. Turn it off. Your phone is still branded in this step.
3. After flashing, download DFT's RSPL/HSPL here and be sure to get the second version. Extract the files somewhere easy to find (eg. desktop). This tool will let you install customized ROMs/unbranded ROMs on your device. Therefore if you replace your SPL with HSPL, you will be able to install the unbranded Mango ROM.
4. Hold down volume down key on the Trophy, and connect it via USB. Trophy will go straight to bootloader state, and run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH exe file . Select the nearest version of SPL shown on your Trophy, and click install. If Trophy reboots, flash was successful, if not, try again until you get RSPL.
5. After RSPL, do step 4 again, but this time, run DFT_HSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and install HSPL, not OSPL. After HSPL, Trophy will reboot. If Trophy successfully boots to Windows Phone, then you have done it right.
7. Go here and download your ROM for Trophy which is RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE.exe. This is the unbranded ROM which will remove carrier (vodafone) apps.
8. Turn off Trophy and connect it by holding down volume down key and connect via USB so it goes straight to bootloader state, unzip the ROM downloaded from step 7 using winrar or winzip.
9. Open the extracted folder and delete SPL_signed.nbh as this will overwrite your current SPL and will brick your Trophy.
10. Run the rom update utility and happy flashing! Trophy should restart after flashing.
So there you have it. After setting up your Live account, you must go to the marketplace and download HTC Connection Setup and run it. This will configure your carrier settings (3G/HSDPA, MMS) to your phone since this Mango ROM is unbranded and does not carry and customization by your carrier (vodafone).
Cool. Now trying the method from downloaderintruder
Edit: Seems to be working. Flashing final Mango ROM now, will report back when running.
Edit2: Done!
Fantastic - thank you.

Resolved this by changing from a USB 3 port to a USB 2 port? Weird but it worked...
Do i need Y usb cable to do this? Because i`ve tried this with standard usb cable from htc and my Trophy stucked in "USB host mode" screen.
I don`t have that Y cable, and i was looking for solution to debrand phone without Y, and i`ve found this thread, wheres no word about Y cable but now i don`t know
--------------------------------------------------
Ive found solution:
Instead of pressing volume button and connecting it to usb, i`ve holded volume rocker down, and hit the on/off button, when tricolor screen appeared i`ve released volume button and THEN connected my phone to my PC via USB

If you want to go back, you will need to get the 7004/7008 version of the ROM with 401 CV. Check out ansars ROM in the Trophy forum and download that. Go to the bootloader state, and flash it straight to your phone, this will downgrade from 7720 to 7004/7008 (unbranded).
To go back to branded, first you must HSPL your device after downgrading, then download the original ROM for your trophy and flash it. You don't have to delete spl_signed file, you only had to delete this in the mango rom because it will brick the device since the spl version from mango had a huge leap from spl1 to spl4.
Be aware though, some Trophy users who flashed ansars ROMs didn't get past 7008 to get the PreNodo/Nodo update, so you can't use your backup at this time. I'm still looking for a solution on this, but since I don't really like branded phones I'm all good with my Trophy.

Updates will still go through via Zune.
For the problem regarding how to go back to your backup, here's a theory, IF there will be mango ROMs for our trophies like there's Nodo, we can install that ROM and restore our backup via Zune. That is, IF there will be Mango roms for our trophies with matching CV's.
Now I have the error code c101b001 in the marketplace.
Do you know why?

Hi, i'm new on the WP7 world.
I want to unlock my HTC Mozart with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362008
I read that i must have RSPL / HSPL installed on my device, and i read this:
Do NOT use RSPL / HSPL with Mozart 4.XX and other RUU ROMS with MANGO
I have a Mozart with Mango and 5.XX, what can i do?
Now, you have to do downgrade SPL your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279905
Next step you can't update by Zune but you have to install RSPL/HSPL and custom, unlock ROM.
Thanks, but in your link i read:
ATTENTION1:
That method don't work on new SPL 4.XX and 5.XX
What does it mean?
I can't understand this too:
remember that number for your SPL is in name stock ROM eg. for that ROM: RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3 a_22.36.50.15U version SPL is RED - 1.22
First method may be not work for higher SPL eg. 4.X, 5.X but you must try. When it going to not work you must do downgrade by second method from the movie.
What does it mean?
Click to expand...

That mean: you have to know what SPL number (for your device) is compatibility with RSPL/HSPL from DFT.
SPL number it's red in my post. For your device, you have to find the correct ROM with lower SPL number - with him you will be able install RSPL/HSPL.

Ok thank you
Hello
I know this has been discussed alot. But i just want to check in before doing this to my phone.
So i have upgraded to 5.11 Bootloader unwillingly and now i want to downgrade back to a 1.xx bootloader and install a HSPL So i could install a Custom full unlocked WP7 phone
First of all here is my phone's current status:
HTC 7 Mozart (1st gen) TMO branded with no sim lock
OS:7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.21.50401.111
HW revision: 0004
Radio: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Bootloader: 5.11.2250.1(133065)
Unfortunately I have no access to any Android/WM 6.5 phone and i have no SD/micro-SD card (I can buy them, but i'd rather not because they have no use to me) But i do have a 8GB USB flash.
So, from what i have read, Since i have a TMO_DE (111) phone, I cannot use ansar's ROMs to downgrade and my only option would be the goldcard method.
The only thread about downgrading 5.xx SPL that i meet their requirements is This
So a few questions:
1. Do i have to use the Goldcard.IMG provided in that thread or i need to make myself one for Mozart as said in other threads?
2. Im going to use "RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.30.401.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar" ROM. Is this correct ROM to do a downgrade with?
3. Just checking in, After a successful Downgrade (If i don't brick my phone) Im going to first Install HSPL as instructed in [DFT][Updated!#3] HSPL / RSPL for HTC WP7 First Generation And then Install a Custom ROM in [update][DFT Freedom ROM] Mozart mango 7720 V2 version. Is this right to get a FULL unlocked device?
4. After i Downgrade my phone using Goldcard, Do i get a working OS so i can resume the work later?
Thank you all. And let this topic stay to answer some newbies like me
Ad. 1. You can use Goldcard.img from that topic (post #5).
Ad. 2. I think so it's ok ROM, but you have to try.
Ad. 3. Yes.
Ad. 4. After downgrade you can install other stockROM or (if you have HSPL) costomROM. If you install stockROM you lost HSPL.
You can try that downgrade method (SLSPL by Ansar): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196183 for HTC Mozart you have link in #2 post.
Question 4: Yes. Downgrading the SPL (even breaking it, which is what a "half-bricked" phone has) does not limit the ability of the OS to operate.
Note, however, that any official updates installed during this time may also include a new SPL, forcing you to downgrade it again if you want to use a custom ROM.

Hello
Thank you for your answers
about ansar's downgrade thread, Im not sure if i can use those roms for my phone. Can you confirm that they will work on my device?
I'd love such a easy method instead of creating a Y cable

Are you read Ansar topic (point 3 - bold)?
The process is as simple as of these 3 steps
1. Download the proper SLSPL ROM for your branded device operator, see post #2
2. Flash the provided SLSPL ROM and will re-boot in tricolor Bootloader screen, see post #3
3. Flash ANY Stock ROM of your branded device operator and finish the story of 5.10 Bootloader

Yes, but i don't understand what it does mean exactly
Do you mean that those roms will work on my device (to downgrade it) but i need to have a Stock rom to install on it? (but i can install HSPL on top of it to get custom roms, right?)
I can't think of any other definition right now
And i'm sorry my english is not that good, so maybe you can clear it up for me if it's not that?
1. Install SLSPL ROM for Mozart: RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ ansar.zip
2. Install branded stockROM=originalROM for Mozart. Download this one: RUU_Mozart_TMO_DE_1.25.111.05_5.50.09.18_22.24.50_RELEASE.exe
(source from @Football: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427893)
3. Install RSPL/HSPL
4. Install customROM (what you want)
Now, it's clear ?

Thanks for clearing things up
Trying this now.
I have downloaded RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.01_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar.zip And tried to flash my Mozart. But got the "INVALID VENDER ID" error (My phone is not branded). I live in Middle East. Does this mean that I can't use the Europe version (which ansar provided) to flash my Phone?
Apologies for the kind of naive question. I'm still a newbie in these stuff.
Hmmm I don't know why, but I think so you have to ask Ansar why you can't install that ROM.
