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.

cant flash
EVERYTHING i try to flash even the stock rom doesnt work it always just sits there at 0% and does nothing
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)
olinex h-spl thread to dl and restore stock spl
cheers

Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.
thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

Hey guys or girls !
I have a problem with my screen, it has a little dot and when I push on it you see it move like. So I need to bring it back for waranty.
I want to go back to stock bcz my phone is rooted and unlocked.
How do I get started ? I'm from Europe Belgium, from what I remember you have to find this orginal ROM wright and then lock the bootloader again.
I tried to do a search but somehow with me I never find what I'm looking for.
Anyone can explain or have a thread that can help me further, and get my phone back to stock so I can go for my waranty and hopefully they fix this problem with the screen. Or anyone has already tried to recover warranty with the same problem I have bcz the retailer said to me they not give warranty for my problem only for dead pixels... ?
Thx a lot !
Oh really?
