Hello to everyone,
I am new to XDA, I just bought my second HTC phone about 5 days ago. I had a V1605 with Vodafone and loved WM and now the HD.
The HD is Orange customised and I would like to ask you guys If I could flash the ROM with a HTC original ROM(SIM free version) and get rid of all the orange bits on it.
IE: start up Splash Screen
And is there any way I could remove the Orange logo off the back of the phone??
That's all, many thanks !!
Adi
First use the forum search
As i hate people that just post that, i will give you a clue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
Then pick a rom for the HD from the forum list, Duttys is always a good one.
Please not that you will void your warrany if you send it back to orange modded, you can restore it if you need to send it back.
I am sorry, as I said "new to xda", I did look around but did not know what ROM to pick so I asked for a bit of help, is it that much of a crime? I never flashed a ROM before... A bit more understanding takes you a long way.
Many thanks for your quick reply.
Adi
PM me if you need help..
I assume you're romanian...
Being new to xda can be a really pain in the ass.. If you aren't known around these forums it can be really hard to find anything here..
But when i read your post i see that you are asking for a "SIM free" rom .. You can't remove the sim lock by installing another rom.. But you can, as you are also asking, remove the orange branding ..
My suggestion is that, if you can't find the rom you are using as a install file, so that you can return to that if you flash another rom, you should dump the one on your phone first. But if you want another rom you need to flash hard spl first .. Take a look here and read it .. it should give you a better understanding ..

Thanks Da9L,
My phone is unlocked as I did it about 2 days ago, all I really want is the Orange Splash Screen off my screen.

Once you have flashed the hard slp the world is yours, if you want the htc rom you cant get it from here

I wouldnt flash it becuse you will need to install the fixes and its rather slow
I would go for duttys HD 1.7 rom, its got all the fixes installed and tweaked.
But if you need a hand just pm me or grab me on the old msn [email protected]
YAY!!
Many thanks all!!
I've made it! Oh God I am hard work.
Cheers!!
I managed to get the new Splash Screen on, but after that the Orange original Flash Splash Screen follows. Any way I can remove that??

Believe me, once you get the hang of flashing and understand the improvements a custom ROM can make, you will want a lot more as just getting rid of the Splash Screen....
So guys, is there a way to delete the fancy Orange splash screen or do I need to do a complete ROM flash instead of just a splash screen flash?
Like I said above I did flash a new screen splash but after that I also get the original Orange one. I'm guessing that not the splash screen itself but just a flash file on the ROM. True?
Many thanks for your patient.
Adi
You're not providing much info:
i presume you flashed dutty?
and from your comments dutty didn't package a new splash screen. So you'll have to use custom RUU to flash a new splash screen

p.s. I know it might seem cruel telling you to use search etc... but with such amazing resources:

created by people of this forum which answers most of your questions... it gets immensely frustrating
Thank you!!
OK all, I managed to finally install a new HTC ROM(Linked from XDA ofc) and it's all working perfect, with all the futures that I wanted.
I would like to thank you all once again for helping and make me understand how WM 6.1 and ROM Flashing are working.

Mary One is a custom ROM it can only be removed by re flashing with another ROM
if you want Windows 6.1 you could flash the original ROM (which you may be able to get from HTC or search within this forum)
Or i strongly recommend Duttys ROMS
if you want Windows 6.5 then there are several good ones out there Miri's are great i am currently on NRG Pheonix its superb.
search this Forum for guides to ROM flashing...its not too difficult it you follow the instructions carefully but you have to be aware of the risks (which are described in the tutorials)
cheers and good luck
thanks all . I'm assuming all I need is the new rom since my boot says 156oli nex. in which which one is most like the old htc orange rom ?

any time i try to upgrade the latest Energy ROM it ends up with a connection error...
i just bassically want to know what im doing wrong if anything...

Have you applied the Hard-SPL first?
There's some steps detailed in one of the stickys for flashing for the first time;

Firstly flash the phone by Hardspl- ing it, this allows you to install non certified roms onto it
secondly download and install energyrom ensuring you hae a fully charged battery
works a breeze

Hi Guys
As a avid folower of all the cooking and chefs i need some help
My X1 is still under factory warranty and seeing as the stock X1 was slugish , slow and plain useless i updated my ROM to the KOV110
Is there some way i can revert this back to the original factory rom so i could take it in for repairs still under the factory warranty
Currently the Sony updater just tells me to that the software is not recognized and i cant do a update of any kind
Reason i want to take it in is that the battery life is half a day from full charge and the signal drops permanently. The phone also restarts at will and hangs on ocasion regardless of where i am or what im doing.
Any help or sugestions will be apreciated
Thanks
hi
yes it's possible
in rom dev sticky section is all you need
pavelx1 thread for original (stock) x1 roms (is currently being updated)
biovolt thread for video tutorials (4+5 if necessary)

cheers

Probably your hspl version is wrong related to your flashed ROM version ...
thanks for your reply. could you point me as to how to fix this?
