Hello everyone !
i have just bought this device. not yet received it ...it's on it's way. I want to find out what do i have to do with the rom or whatever to make this device work on vodafone romania network?( vodafone bought CONNEX )
I'm not sure what rom it has, most probably T mobile .
And further more, can you tell me how to upgrade to this rom?where can i buy it from and how to flash the deivce. I've read that u can only flash the rom with a specific ver...an older version.
HELP?
10x a lot
after searching a little bit ... it's not the rom i need to flash to use it on vodafone, i have to unlock it.
ok, anyone can tell me what DO I NEED to unlock and make it useable on vodafone romania?
PLS ! 10x again
Unlocking
If you do a little search around here, you'll find a software called Lokiwiz, and all you need to do is follow the instructions and you can unlock your device. it's a good Idea to do a CID unlocking as well (with the same software) before you upgrade the ROM. Right now I've been using the Mr. Clean ROM for a couple of days, and it's working fine. I would recommend that one.
Hai Noroc!
If it's T-MO branded, you will definitely have to unlock it before using it back home in good old RO
like i said in a pm, i kind of know what do i have to do. my only worry now is the downgrade to a 1.xx rom.
With the mda still CID locked & sim locked i have to downgrade to a 1.xx rom in order to use the lokiwiz right?
So, to avoid any problems while doing this, which rom should i use for 1.xx version?
I bought this phone and had image version :1.6.2.105 on T-Mob
Then I unlock it using Lokiwiz02b but I did not touch the CID (because I don't know what was that for) as I've swap the SIM and it worked so I thought "job done". Bad move?
Then I upgraded the firmware with MR Clean AKU 2.3
The problem now is that I can't sync my handset with my PC and is not my pc because I test it whit my friend XDA MINI S and it works fine. I tried to flash it with "(Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101)" but it won't take it... is any safe firmware that I can reflash in order to revert it to an unbranded phone? Also my battery now last far more less since!
All I want is not to see any T-mobile sign or else.
Please note that I'm familiar on flashing LG 3G and motorola 3G phones. But I'm a still a newby here and excuse my english too.
Bump!!
Bump!!
you can't change firmware without CID unlock.
There are loads of posts with ROM change info, try doing a search
Solved!!!!!
I tell you what I did...
I downloaded this firmware CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE
So I downgrade my WM to firmware version: 1.6.*.* then I did again the unlocking (to make in sure) then I download the latest O2 firmware (Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101) for mini s and reflashed it... Now my phone is rebranded O2 but I don't mind... The battery seams to last longer now.... We will see... Thank you for answering... ;-)
I have a Vodafone branded Touch Pro 2 running ROM version 1.14.161.5. I have managed to download the latest HTC ROM upgrade 1.19.401.1 which is on the HTC website, but yet everytime I attempt to install it I keep getting an error message (294) informing me that there is an invalid vendor ID and that the update cannot be used for my PDA.
As Vodafone take an eternity to bring out ROM upgrades - and also the fact that I can't stand their annoying red theme - I wanted to ditch the Vodafone ROM and install the new HTC ROM so any ideas?
Cheers,
hard SPL your handset, then you can install any rhodium rom you want on it.
Thats what i did.
Go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
and follow instructions, it is so easy and safe as long as u follow the instructions strictly.
Your Vendor is Vodafone, not HTC. If you want to upgrade you should use the Hard SPL first.
Follow the link above.

1) No
2) Flash an official NoDo rom to be up to date with OS, Radio & Bootloader
3) You need to know if your phone is brandet & the region (T-Mobile, O2, Europe, Asian,...)
4) original RUU's contains the whole SW for the phone (radio, bootloader, os,...)
5) for flashing go into the bootloader menu by switch of your ohone & restart it with pressed volume down key.
Zune is needed for drivers & ActiveSync (WinXP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista, Win7) for drivers in Bootloader
With Zune you also get offitial updates (os, radio, Bootloader,...)
6) you need the chevron unlock to sidload apps (only possible on 7004 & 7008)
7) costum roms only if your device is supported by cotullas xspl (see sticky)
8) see point 6
9) ansars rom is the only costum rom which can be updated via zune
There are also 2 DFT costum roms but with these you can not update any further
8) ?!? you mean 10 ==> you do not need 7004 or 7008 to unlock the rom
after unlocking you need less time to come to the latest os version via zune
9) ?!? you mean 11 ==> if your phone is supported by xspl than flash HSPL (Bootloader) to your phone and you be able to flash costum rom's (for radio, os,...)
Chevron unlock is only needed for roms that are not allready unlocked (like custom roms are)
i also have a question:
I have zune and windows mobile device center loaded on my Windows 7 desktop, but wmdc will never recognize my hd7, what can i do because it never works when i try to use the ruu
Windows Mobile Device Center is only for drivers in Bootloader mode
If you shut down your phone and restart it while pressing (and hold) the volume down button, you will enter the bootloader mode.
There are a few informations on that screen
This are the information of my bootloader:
PD29100 SS-BC (4k)
HSPL3.1.2250.0(119314)
CotullaHSPL 0x07
Touch S1(v1.8,#1624)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-v211v413
Serial
at the bottom ther will be a text called serial.
if you have connected your device to your computer & installer Windows Mobile Device Center the text will change to USB after the the drivers are correctly installed.
If USB is displayed on your phone you can start flashing a rom by starting the RUU on the PC
These are normal questions, so I decided to report that post to move it to Questions/Answers
moved to general
no my phone is not a branded one, ie no tmob etc. so which firmware i should use, as i am from india, can i use generic asia? or any unbranded one as long as it contains eng lang?, coz i use english only and dont need any other languages.
but still i have doubt.
what is the use of a gold card( i downgraded my hboot of wildfire using gold card, so i dont mean use of gold card, but how do it work in flashing htc hd7) , also do i need it to flash any ruu or custom rom?
you said, as reply for my 6th question,
'you need the chevron unlock to sidload apps (only possible on 7004 & 7008)'
so what do u mean by 7004 and 7008? is it updates or some thing else? i know there are 7720 mango for hd7 flying around, so is it official or a leaked one? does chevron work in it? or can i hack it by any method, so that i can slidload more than 10 app?
and what is the latest custom rom with no sidload limit? can i get a 7720 mango custom rom?
can i get the drivers only? i dont want the whole zune and active sinc
you do not need to flash anything!
Install Zune and update your OS via it to NoDo version.
If you want to unlock you phone (jailbreak, not simunlock) than you have to use the chevron unlock process bevor you update via zune
your phone haf to be un os version 7.0.7004 or at least 7.0.7008 with newer os Versions you can not use chevron anymore.
as I think you have a normal european HD7:
Firmware revision number:2250.09.16001.401
so if you want to flash you have to look for original European roms
if you want to flash other roms (other regions or costum roms) you can use xspl or goldcard
xspl is a new hacked bootloader wich has the ability to flash every HD7 rom you like.
goldcard is a methode which could bypass the CID/MID check like xspl does but you need aditional components for that (y-cable, goldcard,...)
you are right when we talk about versions or build numbers, we take about the os version 7.x.xxxx
WP7 start with build 7004
Nodo have build 7390
Mango RTM has build 7720 not official available via zune
conclusion:
if you want to sidload apps you have to unlock you phone as long as it runs on 7004 or 7008
ansar post a guidline how to update without loosing the chevron unlock see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
for getting mango RTM on the phone read this thread, it's tricky but possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149265
but beware if you do not combine it with the guidline from ansar, you will loose your chevron unlock (dev-unlock)
If you are not afraid of flashing roms, start with xspl (simplest methode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
than flash ansars costum 1.69 rom (unlocked NoDo rom)
http://rapidshare.com/files/1043958...4.09.21_22.33b.50.10_NoDo_custom_by_ansar.zip
and than start to update to the unofficial Mango RTM like the guidlines above.
I don't know if you can extract the drivers from Windows Mobile Device Center, but Zune is necessarry for updating.
Oh no, once again I got stuck, all things I have installed in my win7 ultimate lap, such as zune 4.8,wmdc etc, and I am able to hspl my device, and in normal mode my lap detects it as a win7 mobile, but still zune can't detect it. So no chevron!!! What is the problem, I tried multiple install-uninstallations, but no luck, help me to do it, pls
