Hi guys .
ok so i have delved into the world of wp7 and after being an iphone 4 owner may have expected too much from the phone so am not really impressed with its features so far.
i have just a couple of problems and questions i hope sombody on here can clear up for me.
first the phone was bought from ebay stating it was open to any network which it is i am currently using it on vodafone but when it boots up i get the 02 splash screen.
is there anyway to de brand the phone to remove the 02 splash screen?
also in connection settings if i set it to vodafone payg it does not store it says setting sucessful etc but reverts back to vodafone contract when going back into the settings.
also i have read about some nodo update
as a new user to htc what exactly is nodo and what are the benifits
i am desperate to fall in love with this phone and not be stuck in the world of apple ios
any help much appreciated
p.s a big thankyou to all the forum mods etc and members for this forum its has some great reading and infomation .
NoDo is an update from Microsoft, not exclusive to HTC. Download and install the Zune software on your PC or Mac, and connect your phone. It should tell you there is an update. However, check your phones OS version first. Settings-->About
If you've got 7.0.7390, you have NoDo. Anything less and you do not. You can see what's been added here:

Unfortunately as a Yank I cannot answer your other questions
You're going to have to look in the HTC hd7 development forum and ask there about rebranding
HD7 unlocked
thanks for the replys guys after more and mnore reading i have finally done the unbrand on my phone and have now got rid of the 02 boot screen
I followed the thread started by ansar and its really simple to do so if anyone else is in the same situation as me follow that thread
Also the unbranding has sorted out my problems with selecting vodafone payg settings in connection setup so now its time to sit back and learn the phone inside out
thanks !
gratz to your HD7. nice to see switching people from iOS to WP7.
i hope you enjoy it.

Hello i am new to this forum and just wanted to say hi to all of you.
I am little confused as i recently brought new O2 XDA ATOM and the every thing is new to me.
Hoping i will find all my answers here.
There are lot of WM6 in here, can any one suggest me the best and working one for my O2 Xda Atom. Is upgrading safe or just changing the theme is better, as my mobile is new and i don't wanted to loose it.
For your atom.. just changing theme is better cuz there isnt WM6 for atom yet...
Two very important things you need to know about changing the OS (ROM):
1) It will void all warranty for the device! Unless you are using an official update released by the carrier.
2) If you do not do it correctly or the process is interrupted in the middle for any reason your device becomes a brick!
Now that I put the fear of ROMs in to you, welcome to the forum!
Hello everyone! I'm new around here. I was looking to update the rom on my HTC Diamond Touch and I found this great website. First I just want to say I have all the respect in the world for you guys because this is pretty high science. All this modding and tweaking takes skill from what I see.
Anyways, I read a lot of the stickies that say read this first before posting quesitons and all that.
I am finding that these links have been most helpful for me so far.

I just have a few concerns that these were mostly written a year ago; and on the ROM discussion board, new stuff is coming out everyday it looks like.
I need some help making sure my bases are covered when I start to update my HTC Diamond Touch. Such as having all my references ready in case something may go wrong or having the right bootloader or whatever.
1.) I want to update my ROM because it is pretty old (stock 10/27/08 edition) and it is a little sluggish at times. Can someone give me some advice on a solid ROM? I do not need "everything", like "omg iPhone pwnage ROM" but just a solid, works well, looks good, few bugs or crashes ROM ... good battery life is a plus too!
2.) I don't know the version of my phone. Like "CDMA" etc? This is my phone company.
Cellcom -> HTC Diamond Touch
http://www.cellcom.com/personal/phones/compare_phones/phone_3c128e2806c4/
3.) Similar to #1, what "radio" should I use, etc? Once again I am very new to all this and the tech stuff about modding I do not have locked in yet.
I really just need some guidance because I do not want to brick my new phone and have a paperweight...
Thanks everyone and once again, all the respect to you guys! Knowledge is power and you all take the cake with this stuff.
All advice is helpful! And if you want to flame me for being a "noob," I got the fire hose ready.
EDIT - UPDATE -
I think I want to use this ROM -
Default |6.5|DIAM||ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM Series "Magic" 23001 ** || Build 2009630
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
Standard Edition one?
Which Radio?

4.) How do I know if I am security unlocked? (SIM-unlocked too? I have service from Cellcom (my provider) but what does that entail for the other stuff?)
Thanks again~
UPDATE-
I security unlocked, installed Juicy 8 ROM and a Telus radio ... so far so good!
How do I download the rom?
Sorry I am new.
hi there people, dont hate me and apologies if this question either seems ignorant or whether its been answered before.
so here goes...
ive got a branded vodafone tp2, its sim unlocked so im using a Tmob UK sim inside and loving every minute, awesome fone.
now i can see there's a buzz about getting wm6.5 official ROM onto my device so im wondering a few things.
I went to the HTC web site and tried to download the official ROM but it mentioned it wasnt suitable for my device, ill put that down to it being branded/raped by Voda..?
what im wondering also is, if i could get the official unbranded wm6.5 ROM onto my unit (my mate has just upgraded his from HTC as it was unbranded at POS so will try n get him to upload onto my unit)would it work?
ill have to admit ive been a fan sice getting my first HTC fone (the Universal) years ago but have now realised that if u want a decent experience to next time go unbranded.
do you guys think ill have to wait for Vodas bastard son of a thousand maniacs ROM (Voda wm6.5) to be up on their site before i can have winmo 6.5 on my device and has anyone seen if its that God horrible red n white which i just cant stand.
im using manila 2.1 atm yto cover it up and have been pleased how it got rid of the Voda rubbish.
again apologies if ive asked some thing answered and thanks in advance for any help.
i am a toatl noob to "flashing" etc so any advice would be awesome.
id also like to give shouts out to all developers for keeping us all up to date and connected.
you guys are the unsung heros of win mo so please keep up the good work as im sure we all would agree, its greatly appreciated
with thanks graph1uk
Mate...you should do some reading at those sticky threads...
No one will answer those questions.
if u cant wait ur official 6.5 rom come out. Just do the hardspl and flash using 6.5 europe official rom. do more reading please. thanks.
I have a Vodafone TP2 too, and don't have any vodafone software on it anymore. All you need to do is flash with HSPL, then you can install any ROM you like from this forum, but seriously read the stickies. This one specifically:

Click to expand...

Like others are saying, you just need to HSPL your phone and flash the hell outta it After the flash, you will have your new 6.5 ROM, without voda crap Good luck!
Ok.. If you are new to the flashing world... you must first understand a few things. A bit of reading around would definitely help you understand better.
- First you would have to Hard SPL your device. You can find our how to do that from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131. At the end of the 1st post you would have to download this file: Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip
Once you do that, you are all set for the world of fantasy... Screw the official release of WM 6.5 release.. you have better than official release here at XDA. You can try the latest WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMs cooked with Mannila Sense 2.1 and 2.5
So, Flash away dude... and Good luck.
The voda update is here : http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
As stated before, please use the stickies and the wiki for reference before starting a new thread.
All the answers are there somewhere .
Thanks

I have moved his over to the appropiate section and copied and pasted my question.
I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
Changing the ROM on your device will not unlock it so that you can use it on any network. You need to get an unlock code for your device. T-Mobile US will give these out to their subscribers but I don't know about your carier. If they don't you can get it online too. They will need your phone's IMEI to generate the code. Just put in the new SIM and it will prompt you for the code regardless of the ROM you have.
isnt there such a thing as a hardware unlock though if i use a custom rom?. I brought this phone from a friend so i doubt phoning t-mobile will help get me a code.
p.s. cheers for taking the time to comment
No, I'm fairly sure the only way to unlock this device is what I posted above.
i thought you just needed a t-mob sim to login and then you were free to choose after this whole rooting/flashing thing.
its already a long time ago, so i might confuse a lot and its only that what i think to know. nothing sure..
i wanted an android phone and my friend was saying i culd get his off him and i thought that be a perfect time to get into the android os and stuff, i wasnt ure if i coulld by rooting/flashing that id be able to use another network thats why i wondered if i flashed it to a deveopler rom the adp1 one i could us another sim, i will look into the method beav_35 put but im not sure on any reputable sites to trust to do this method.
I know how to mess with android, but HD7 terminologies are like WTF? got me scratching my head. What is a Nodo and what are the very first steps i need to take to get my phone unlocked and with Mango. I live here in usa so it needs to work here. Another thing where do i see what 'SPL" i have now the phone info in the settings area doesnt give that info unless im looking for the wrong thing. Im not a noob to flashing and stuff but im a noob to WP7 flashing. And im on a iMac running windows 7 in Parallels desktop. I spent 5 hours searching already and i cant seem to connect the dots and its seems blurry on the tmous side of unlocking and upgrading. I dont need spoon feed. but i do need somebody to help me understand what i need to look for and why. thanks for and help. Im also pressed for time i have a buyer for te phone so im trying to keep the promise of having it ready buy tuesday.
all set
Thanks to Hardik i was able to get it done!
这个是说要刷android吗？还真是快啊

I tried to translate your question and i dont understand what you're asking.
