First, hi there.... i'm a newbie regarding flashing smartphones.... so please be kind
My phone info:
OS Version: 7.0.7008.0
Firmwareversion: 2250.09.11901.207
HW-Rev: 0002
Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Radio-HW: A.102.0.D4
Bootloaderversion: 1.19.2250.0(111297)
Chip-SOC-Version: 2.2.5.0
Provider: o2 Germany
(HD7 bought via o2myhandy)
PreNoDo-Update is installed.
And here are coming the questions :
1. Correct me if im wrong but it looks like my HD7 is branded from o2. (i have the o2 accent theme in my design settings and so on)
2. I want to unbrand my HD7, to get updates directly and not through o2. Is that possible?
3. If that is possible, which ROM should i use to flash? (Is it useful to debrand my phone with an preNodo ROM and update it then through zune?)
4. Can i use the offical HTC ROMs, or du i have to use other ones?
Thanks!
This is exactly what I've been wondering too. The o2 search provider (Yahoo) on my phone annoys me lots and I'm fed up waiting for the 7.0.7390 update to arrive. Shall I take matters into my own hands!
Hi
I followed the instructions on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
and have updated to NODO successfully
Please Note it seems to work with only HTC HD7 on O2 UK
I had an O2 UK and its seems to unbrand it to European version to get the nodo update
Do make sure you read the post properly again and again if you must , cause I made a few cockups a couple of times but got it right the third time
Thanks!
Whats the difference between the o2 UK and o2 DE ROMs aside the language?
I've also updated my phone and it worked flawlessly!
It's even now offering the NoDo update officially from MS, I presume because the phone is now unbranded.
Unbranding made a big difference to my phone, stripping the o2 logo off the bootup sequence and taking the crappy Yahoo search off IE.
Very happy with the improvement
Ok, i hope its not off-topic, but i there seems to be too many threads that got me confused ( some with deleted op )
I am getting a T-Mobile unlocked hd7, question is .. is there a way to unbrand and get NoDo ? If i do it will it get locked again ? ( i used unlock code to unlock it )
Please if it has been posted before, just guide me to the threads i should read.

Did you remove netlock? A unlocked phone will allow you to side load apps. T-Mobile wouldnt do that (its not legal).
I called mobile today to get my HD7 unlocked wil try this
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
By unlocked i meant SIM-unlocked -.-'

Hey Guys,
I'm looking to upgrade to the HD7 in the near future main reason i'm waiting is because o2 UK has the device as an exclusive at the moment and i'm not prepared to switch network. I know some people have already unlocked their devices to be used on other carriers but from what you can tell has the been any repercussions? Also are there any unmodded - debranded ROMS avaliable?

if you buy a security unlocked one then you can flash a clean HTC rom .
I haven't found anywhere selling factory unlocked versions of the HD7 in the UK unless you can enlighten me i would be most greatful.

Ceesheim, do you know what is the percentage of security unlocked among all HD7s? So far I've seen 2 in our discuss group more than 200 members. One is my T-mobile version, so lucky to get it, the other is one of the members, which i told him to search every bootloader mode before purchase, and he found it yesteday, O2 version.

I'm looking at unbranding my phone to remove the O2 boot screen and the O2 Colour but I was reading this: -

and ansar.ath.gr says
Hi,
We always need to apply for a windows live id.
It is a good practice to use different id when we unbrand to another ROM.
Use the initial id when return to the initial branded ROM.
It is a suggestion only, in order to preserve privacy.
Regards, ansar.

Is there a reson to use a differnt Windows Live ID when Unbranding?
as I have allot linked to my current one!
Sorry I would of posted this on the link above but I dont have the required number of posts?
Vodafone UK have stated they do not support Windows Phone 7 Updates
so can some one anwser my above question...
Also will the updates be published by yourselfs using the same method...
they can only skip one update, as they will have to accept the next one which is a cumulative update and include the previous one as well.
but what they have not told you is that they can take aslong as they like to test these software updates (in other words they can skip as meany as they like)
I would still like my original question anwsered as I want to remove the O2 Stuff...
Will I be able to : -
Buy Applications
Buy Games
Sync Facebook
with a custom firmware?
I'm using t-mobile us and facing the same problem.
Dear Friends
I am using unlocked Tmobile HD2 in India
Now if I flash it with custom ROMs will it again lock it to the Tmobile network
Please help me friends if some precautions to be take for flashing
Thanks
No, dont worry, once unlocked it cannot be re locked.
Do NOT try to flash any stock roms except tmous stock rom. Example never flash the stock India rom,,, all stock roms will destroy your phone. Only use roms that say " tmous compatible," or "leo1024" or similar.

Thanks samsamuel...but mine is Tmobile UK with 512 mb flash size
If I flash the official Tmobile UK ROM..will it relock itself
Thanks
Ohhhhh right, in future don't say "t mobile hd2", its unnecessary, confusing and you will get wrong advice.
also, this "t mobile" section isn't for you, its for t mobile USA, which is kind of a different phone.
Answer no, it will never be re locked.

hd2 rom update
Hi, i use an US t-mobile HD2 in Hungary. Its unlocked.
ROM version: 2.13.531.1. I like to update the rom to 3.14
I found on t-mobile's site some instructions, and the new rom.
My question is: when i update ROM with original t-mobile ROM(3.14), can it be re locked?? Thanks (sorry for my bad english)
No it will not be relocked by flashing a new ROM (stated many times in many threads including this one)
If flashing you would be best looking at Energy 29017 custom ROMs unless you have a very good reason to want flash original ROM.
Custom ROM is superb & functions far better than any latest operator build.
I had T-Mobile 3.14 & flashing to Energy 23699 build ROM is like jumping forwards 2 years in software development (probably closer to a decade at MS development speed)
i have been using maglr 1.13 i think im locked out now i open up a daf an it reads Readme.txt for this release is missing.can someone steer me in the ridgt direction
Steer yourself at Google and type "magldr rearmed.txt missing", loads of results.
Hi all, I'm approaching to the world of htc hd7 for the first time... I' m waiting for my new htc hd7 t-mobile coming in a few days and I'm asking if there's any way to debrand it and install a clean european rom with my language (I'm from Italy)... Can you tell me where to find the instructions and which is the last european rom? thanks in advance.
Andrea.
I mean "unbrand" not debrand

I have almost the same issue. I'm brazillian and the English keyboard doesn't have "ã" and "õ" characteres... I want to use Spanish keyboard because of this, so... Anyone could help?
Is it a US T-Mobile HD7?
If so, I believe a goldcard is the only way to debrand. See this thread.
I'm still trying to figure out if the benefits (quicker updates, etc.) outweigh the issues introduced by using a European radio.

Yes It's a T-Mobile US, I looked at that thread... It's not so easy and It needs some items as an usb y-cable, a sd card, a card reader, another smartphone with android...
thanks anyway...
Hi Folks,
I have a HTC HD7 Tmo US and followed all steps on this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019
The flashing went ok, but sometimes the HD7 restarts it self without knowing reasons.
I found out as well on the page 18 on the same tread about the Carrier changed from xxxx.yy.zzzzz.531 to xxxx.yy.zzzzz.841, this means went to TmoUS to Telstra, Am I right? Because nobody confim it for sure yet! But seens to be!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019&page=18
Now, I want to know if, since the carrier now is Telstra, can I also follow the tread bellow to update the ROM for a newer one with newer Radio, which I hope fixes the HD7 from restarting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090845
On this tread, the radio is Radio_5.66.09 .21a_22.48.50.21U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar
Mine is actually 5.65.09.11_22.44.50.15U
My question is: can I do it? Is there a risk to brick the HD7 TmoUS?
Have anyone done it yet?
Final questio: If I have a GoldCard for HD7, can I apply any ROM to my TmoUS?
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Paulo Scorcci.
Hi folks,
Is there any one which can help me with this question?
I would like to place this tread on the Development session, but I have less than 10 posts and can not do it.
Thanks again.
Paulo
