[Q] About "smuggled" IS

Hi guys.
In Яussia HTC phones are pretty expensive so in this country smuggle is a very popular occupation. I'm going to get european Incredible S (it's about 1.5 times cheaper than the official one) so there's a little question: what about ROM? About a month ago I got an european Desire for my sister and there was non-rooted RU (Russian-Ukrainan region) rom, not european. I dunno how they're installing official RU roms on the phones, but I don't want to get IS with european ROM, because if they're uploading another roms using root - smugglers can't upload RU rom on IS just because there's no root for this phone lol.
sorry for kinda dumb text I'm a bit drunk lol

as far as I know, if you use a goldcard you can install any RUU

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Confirming that, flashing any official RUU is possible with a goldcard without any root.
no exception for IS as it was performed successfully to flash leaked Arabic RUU in this forum

Hi

P.s. I am using IS about a month but still seling IS isn't started in latvia.

[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

By unlocked i meant SIM-unlocked -.-'

Even i have a HTC HD7 US T-Mobile version sim unlocked and im using it in China.Is there any way i can unbrand it and get NODO update?

Is there a Tmobile Rom Unbranded/Unlocked?

I recently bought an HD7 (Still have my HD2) and had to unlock with Chevron, and then do the Feb update and Nodo. Issue for us Tmobile users is unless it's an unbranded ROM we can't get 4G. Ansar, maybe you have tackled this already. Any help would be appreciated. I could cook from my current ROM if someone knows how to open up the 4G.

[Q] Tmous HD7 Nodo update can I go for Telstra ROM?

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

[Q] Unlocking and unbranded ROMs

Hi guys
I have a Lumia 620 locked to Vodafone - Portugal, but I will unlock it as soon as I get the code. After I unlock it, I want to flash an unbranded ROM, but I have a few questions:
1) I can't find any Portuguese unbranded ROM for the Lumia 620. Is it ok to use any other country unbranded ROM (like Spain or France)?
2) Will I still be able to get OTA updates with the new ROM?
3) Will I get Data Sense?
Thanks!

Answer to question #1: Don't think so. Maybe someone who has more experience under their belt will know this.
Answer to question #2: If question #1 were to be yes, then this answer will be yes as well.
Answer to question #3: Since GDR2 and Amber update, all countries and carriers get Data Sense.

Thanks for the answer. I currently don't have Data Sense and I have GDR2 / Amber, that's why I was asking.

Are you sure you're using GDR2/Amber? I'm 100% sure when I was on Amber I had Data Sense. Try doing a phone update on your Lumia and see if you get another update to maybe give you Data Sense.

Answer 3 is wrong, AT&T removed data sense from the update. I have been looking up international roms for my phone in the USA. Many ppl debrand their phone using an international ROM. I dont know about other carriers, just know that ATT removes that feature.

Oh, really? I thought all phones would have had Data Sense since that's what the changelog said.
Why did they remove it,anyway?

Your guess is good as mine. Guess they don't want us to have that feature
