May i know what is the difference between branded and unbranded any example of it? is it the phone or the os or something else.Need clarification.
Thank You
I second this question
still unanswered
Branded roms have the network/operator logos, settings and its been customized by them. Plus any updates will come from them.
Debranded is an untouched generic usually eurowwe or Asia wwe rom that's not been customized and is how it should come from HTC. So updates will come direct and a lot quicker.
HD7S Rom
Just ordered an HD7S and i know that it comes pre-installed with the latest Nodo Rom. I just want to know if it is possible to downgrade this phone to a pre Nodo firmware so that i can use Chevron to sideload apps like an HD7 or is there an Developer unlocked rom that can work with the hd7s and if so what firmware is it at?
does anyone have an answer to my question?
I have a hd7s too I have been able to flash custom rom on it but make sure you back up the stock att one. Oh and we can probably get the mango beta but it sucked on my hd2 not sure about hd7s. I would just wait for that to come out then downgrade to unbranded rom prenodo unlock and the upgrade to mango unlocked or maybe someone will make us an unlocked rom!!!!

Just checked now and not available for me.
Sick of this phone. No signal for long periods of time, dropping calls, losing sync with my Exchange Server, duplicating contacts ad-nauseam.
None of this happened to my Touch Pro 2.
Please HTC, convert me to Android properly or lose me forever.
do you have to be connected to wifi to download this or will it work over HSDPA?
I've rooted my legend and on a 1.31 rom but am not seeing the update?
I got my update over HSDPA after forcing the phone to search. I'm not rooted, stock VF firmware. If your handset is not a VF branded handset or your running a different rom you'll need to get the HTC version.
Just had a prompt that an update is available.
Hope it resolves the dreadful coverage problem I'm having.
HMMM
I tried all, WM6.5 HD2, iphone 3GS Rim Palm etc but nothing runs so smooth as my htc Legend with Android.
After the OTA update my vodafone branded htc Legend runs still perfect as it did before the update, but now with Layer functionality...
Anyone who says his legend Lags or bad reception.. should bring the handset back because it must be faulty or he/she must live in a country with bad reception.
I love the Legend Alu casing and the great touchscreen, I tried all toprange HTC/samsung etc phones but none compares to this great phone!!
Chapeau to Google and Htc.. great phone and great OS!!
Here is the .exe for this file.
I know it also contains the SPA Language.

Please, can you post your compilation number? Its under "Settings -> About phone -> Software Information -> Compilation Number"
I'm just trying to figure out if its the same rom that Vodafone is deploying in Spain.
I have flashed with 1.31 stock rom but would prefer to have a branded one and I think the new conflipper rom for Vodafone UK could be the same for Vodafone Spain.
Thanks

I think its the same rom, users from htcmania with Vodafone Spain Legends' are reporting the same build number. It's all I needed. I'm flashing conflipper's RUU soon.
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 -.-'

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?
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.
Today I saw a new rom at samfirmware.com.It is named as "I8700XXKH5" does anybody know anything about it ? Is this mango ?
Who cares. It's an Engineer ROM, just like the rest of the Mango ones.
Update via the official channels.
I live in Turkey and WP7 phone are not officially selling officially selling in my country and I have no idea will there be an official update for mango

It doesn't matter if its sold there or not. You will get the update regardless, in due time.

Try flashing with a different base ROM (XXJK, XXKC), and be careful about which CSC you use. Stick to the retail CSCs.

Thanks and finally last question comes This nodo rom is a officially released rom , am I right with this ?
ok here i go so i recently got my hd7 and I upgrade to mango before i even checked the message boards to see if i should stay on the shipped rom or upgrade. after doing the upgrade i realized that i wanted to try some of the customs roms but i cant figure out what im suppose to do i have bootloader version 4.5.2250.0(129966) firmware 2250.21.40503.531 Please help me i just got the hd7 through warranty exchange from t mobile i use to own the hd2.
to sum it all up i want to know what way if at all possible to downgrade the rom version, and how to upload a new custom rom. I got lost in the hole NoDO firmware talk when i was looking up info so please point me in the right direction.
You need to flash an official nodo rom to downgrade the bootloader. Do you have a t-mobile US version?
