[Q] Unlocked Tmobile HD2 - custom ROM - T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development

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.

can i use these firmwares?

found a image for tattoo (signed) on this site, can this be installed?
http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/downloads/detail?name=CLICIMG_Click_HTC_BE_1.67.1100.7_release_signed.zip it looks like an official "developer" release?
file CLICIMG_Click_HTC_BE_1.67.1100.7_release_signed sounds like its official for the developer edition "CLICK"..
it says; Developement only. Not flashable
But i dont know... Just try it...
Official ROM HTC 1.65.405.1 WWE for HTC Click (Tattoo) is downloadble at htcpedia anyway...
You misunderstand... this isn't a developer release, it's a release for developers of Android of Vogue. It's probably flashable to Tattoo, but not in the context of that Google code page. BE = British English? ZIP won't immediately be flashable but can probably be modified to be flashable.
BE is for Belgium
That was the original update for the actual phone. As was said, it's on HTC's site as well. It's the latest update available as of yet
Hello all - this looks like a great forum, so I've finally registered...
Has anyone had success flashing the original firmware on to an Orange branded phone? Looking at people's experience with Orange Heroes, it looks pretty intense.
I was hoping to be able to get the firmware off the phone and in some way edit it to allow standard firmwares to be flashed over it, then flash as normal. But it's worth remembering I don't know what I'm doing...

You should be able to install another ROM without a problem. I did the same 4 days ago on an Orange branded Tattoo.

Did you have to go through the process of creating a Gold Card??
I have one of these coming this week & was hoping to remove all the Orange rubbish & get back to stock, but I'm a bit put off by the process involved.
On my last phone, Touch Pro, I just entered the product code for a WWE on the HTC site & it flashed it for me. That was a Voda one though, it seems Orange have done a bit more to try & protect it?
Is there a stock german rom without a vodafone or o2 branding?

[Q] HD7 - Basic Questions on flashing and unbranding

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 -.-'

Upgrade GTS5570 to Gingerbread on carrier based phone

Hello!! I am just trying to find out how we can unlock the phones that we bought from different carrier providers and how to upgrade them manually...
Since, I don't have a carrier based phone, I'm short of ideas on this topic. So, is there anyone who has upgraded to gingerbread in a carrier based rom, please make sure you reply with all the details.
Also, I especially want to know about upgrading in a Vodafone - Italy galaxy mini phone. If anyone had tried it please share it here.
Thanks!!!
Hey
I have a carrier based phone (Comcel in Colombia) and I upgraded to GB without any problems (I used ODIN to flash GB).
SIM gets unlocked due to the fact that the whole filesystem gets rewritten, so I'd say that there's no problem in flashing different version of the OS on carrier based devices.
The only way that would be a problem is if the carrier has custom apps that report back (kinda like Verizon does in the US with some HTC devices).
For the Italian Vodafone, sorry I can't help you with that

Okk so you mean you can now use sim card from any provider after you flashed gb.... Also, will it have any effects on the performance of phone and what will happen if teh carrier gets to know about it???

Yeah, phone's now SIM unlocked, regarding perfomance (besides the obvious Froyo to GB performanc boost) there's no discernable change, there shouldn't be any change unless you're flashing a non-compatible ROM (EU rom on a 5570L or viceversa).
I'm not a lawyer but from what I've heard the only way a carrier can find out that you have a custom ROM is if you take your phone for repairs and all they can do is void your warranty, nothing more, althought I'd check the service contract in case there's something hidden in there.

[Q] HD7S flashing help???

Hey I would like to flash the Deepshining v6.1 rom to my HD7S. I am wondering one thing, when I flash back to NoDo, will it affect the radio since it is not an AT&T radio? Oh and one more thing, if that doesn't bother it, then will the Deepshining rom mess it up since it is for the HD7 (Tmobile or other euro version) not the AT&T version? I just want to make sure the radio will work fine (getting 3g and all).
thanks!
P.S. if it will mess it up, is there another radio I can flash to make it work? I really want to be able to side load apps.
You should be fine, I flashed the DFT rom to my HD7s and everything is working fine

as already stated... will be fine.
each of the Custom ROMs are unbranded, so any can be used on any Schubert device with XSPL.
one can change the Radio of their device. link in my signature.
Thanks but.....
Hey thanks for all the replies but now that I have a custom rom on my HD7S everything works great except 3g. It shows the icon (an "H") but I cannot surf the web or anything. It just tells me to check my connection. There is no posted radio for att mango so I am using the EURO radio (latest with tethering). What is wrong?
Please help...

use HTC Connection Setup to fix your data.
H is 3G or 3G+, depends on the Custom ROM using and what the chef set it as.
How did you do it? Is everything still working?
Hi mtweisenbarger ,
I also have the ATT HD7S and would like to flash the DeepShinning rom as well. How is DeepShinning ROM working for you, currious to see if you are still using it.
Trying to follow all these instrunctions from different pages is quite confusing. I just wanted to find out if you had to use the GoldCard method. I think once I get that piece done the rest will be pretty simple, I just wanted to confirm that you had to use it.
Any followup and advise would be much appreciated!
Thx!

Looking for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Official Stock AT&T Rom for my unlocked phone

I bought a Note 9 from Amazon I thought it was an official AT&T phone but it is the unlocked version. My unlocked version does not support a number of AT&T's features I would like to have access too. I have read how to flash the Rom and I know how to do it. I downloaded a Rom which I thought was the AT&T stock rom but it was actually the same Rom I had the unlocked version. So when I flashed it it was the same as before. I think it is possible it flash the phone so that it is like I bought it from AT&T. I have seen people do this on youtube with their Galaxy note 10's. I am unable to find the Official Stock Rom or maybe I have and am unsure if it is the official one. So if anyone knows where I can get the dang official Rom so I can flash my unlocked phone and turn it into an official AT&T phone that would really help me. Thank you very much.
My Model Number is
SM-N96OU1
My Baseband Version is
N96OU1UEU4DTC7
My build number is
QPA.190711.020.N96OU1UEU4DTC7
Will this one work on my phone?

in fact that DID answer your question.
in sammobile, you could find your "carrier" rom version as you want, which is U, not U1 (unlock version).
then use samfirm or frija to download the rom with max speed.

So If I want to flash it too the official AT&T I should look for SM-N96OU instead of SM-N96OU1, correct? I am nervous about bricking the phone. I have read that the AT&T version and the unlocked phones are exactly the same they just have different firmware. Is this true?

I'm looking to convert my SM-N960U1 (unlocked) to the AT&T version as well. I'm seeing the following as the lastest firmware I should be downloading to convert to AT&T. Can anyone verify this because the N960U does not have AT&T firmware available?
...firmware/SM-N960U1/ATT/download/N960U1UEU4DTC7/335086/
All the U firmware is the same. If you have At&t sim you can flash any Note 9 U firmware and it will provision to your sim. If you are coming from U1 you will need to do a factory wipe. Was your device purchased as unlocked or was it U?....
Oops never mind I see its unlocked.

For some reason i feel that Sammobile its more about selling firmware software to buyers of samsung instead of helping people take the best out of their phones. Some of use pay over the 1000 dollar for a phone and dont get easy help while samsung should atleast give us the freedom to get the firmwares for our devices for free. Sam mobile has ablot of information on their website,but ofcourse nothing for free. Even signing up their websites is an issue,and to get support thats another issue. So i most say Sam mobile its all about selling Samsung software,while you and me who buy the phones,not sammobile! Resell it back to us. Seriously its discrimination in my eyes. Maybe am wrong, but thats how i feel about. Now i dont know what business relation sammobile has with samsung,but i know the founder is not a. Chinese, but a Holland guy. Thank u.
