Hello,
i have a T-Mobile MDA Vario with the newest AKU3 firmware and wm6. Now it looks very bad, and i want that my phone looks like this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367423) - The Vista Skin and the Vista Dialer.
So my first question is, how can i remove the complete t-mobile brand ? But it should be repairable, so if i update my rom again with the official aku3 firmware, all should be like before the mod.
Can someone help me how to unbrand my phone and where i can get the vista skin ?
The most importan think that i hate is the dialer. I can change thourgh the three themes but the dialer looks always the same. the white bad t-mobile thing.
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
can nobody help me ?
Your question is not clear,be more specific about what exactly you are looking for ? do you want to keep the original official T-mobile Rom or want to upgrade to a newer rom ? the vista skin looks are not possible in an official t-mobile rom completely,for that you'll have to remove and flash with a newer latest custom build wm6 rom.Have you upgraded to a wm6 rom or still on official t-mobile rom ?
Cheers!
Hi guys!
Hope your Palms are ok
I have unlocked Treo 750v for UK Vodafone.
The current version of phone software is TREO750-1.12-VFU
I see there is an update from Palm that will make verison to 2.18 (I guess it is even update to WM6)
Main question - if I install this update, will it lock my phone again to Vodafone UL or not?
Do you have such experience or information? Thanks!
Is it really so complicated question or too stupid, guys? )
No. Any Rom upgrade craete SIM Lock .

Hi guys. Just upgraded from an original Touch to a Diamond. Before I start setting it up, I went to HTC's site to get the latest updates.
I love cusotmizing my device with themes, pic etc, but I am not into flashing cooked roms (yet).
HTC has 2 rom upgrades on their site. One from like July last year and one from Jan of this year.
When I enter my S/N it says my device does not support this rom???
I have a Diamond P3700
The current rom is Rom Base 1.93.422.4 Dated July 18th 2008
Radio 1.09.25.23
Am, I missing something? Was the January 09 update not for some Diamonds?
I know when you flash its like a hard reset, so I want to have the latest official rom on my device before I start putting in all my info.
Anyone have this issue???
thanks!
Mike,
if you got your device from a mobile operator or have a "branded" phone (T-Mobile, Vodafone, Verizon, Orange, whatever), you'll probably have no access to updates from the HTC website. Operators make some changes to the ROM (themes, settings, applications) so they reserve the right to select which updates they make available to their customers. (Booooo.)
In that case, the only thing you can do is ask your operator (visit their website) if there are any updates available.
You'll have unrestricted access to HTC's updates only if you have a "free" device.
N.
FYI : Bell is currently working on a ROM version with HTC guys. It should be out somewhere during this year. (I hope so, because the ROM Bell gives is really retarded)
I have a unbranded unlocked phone and have the same problem. Support replied that the 2.03 ROM is not yet available for Eastern Europe phones (my case by the looks of it). No info on release date for us though.
There is a new Touch Diamond ROM posting in HTC website here:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=68
You may input your serial number to see whether this new ROM suitable for your device or not.
Same here
I've tried to download the new ROM but get a out of service message. Someone must have this ROM and can give access to it?
Thanks
upgrading ROM
my experience with upgarding via HTC website.
i have a HTC Artemis + HTC Touch Diamond, both came with English WM OS.
Bought both in mainland China though they both imported, Artemis via Taiwan, and Touch Diamond via HK.
when i tried to obtain latest ROM via HTC HK website last week of Feb 2009, basically i could only download the RUU 2.03 CHT_CHS ROM. i was not allowed to download the English language version of the ROM. Here's HTC explanation.
The two phones were shipped via the original HTC agents in both countries with HTC CHT (Traditional Chinese) ROM's. Even though i bought both phones in mainland China with English ROM's. (Obviously the store or a supplier on the mainland had flashed the English HK ROM's).
Basically HTC's view is that flashing the ROM's with any other ROM outside what it shipped with OEM voids the warranty (if one is not careful, one can also brick the phone too!) LOL
Interestingly this means that my new phones were void of warranty initially anyway the day i bought them, since i bought them from the dealer with English version ROM (official HK English ROM), though both phones were meant to be CHT ROM's. If i sent either phone back to their respective HTC service depts. artemis to Taiwan or Touch Diamond to HK, i would have been out of luck claiming warranty!
(anyway i got my hands on the official HK/Taiwan English ROM's and flashed my phones myself... HTC have been a fat lot of use over any technical support issues i have contacted them about in the past).
Note that not all ROM's are the same, service providers and manufacturers can decide what is and what isn't included in their respective ROM, which consequently locks the phone to that ROM and any future updates. Even though one may think they are buying an unlocked phone, with no restrictions etc. how certain can you be of how it was shipped ex-factory, or the route that the phone took before arriving in store?
OP, it sounds to me as though you have a phone that had been altered somehow before you bought it, and is not supported for the upgrade ROM you want. The same situation that applies in my case.
One way to check is try downloading all the different ROM's there are on all the different HTC region/country websites using your serial number... sooner or later you will find the right ROM even you may not want it, but at least you will know the status of how your phone was setup ex factory... because if the ROM was changed somewhere between ex-factory and the store without HTC's okay then your phone is void of warranty (unless you flash it back to OEM).
sinned69 is right, you can't just go to any HTC site and download a ROM, your serial number matches a certain region and you must go to that HTC region site, from there you will be able to download the ROM. Where (which country) did you buy the phone, or do you know where it came from? If you know this information, then just go to that HTC region site.

By the end of January, I called HTC hotline. They said they'll upload East EU version next week. It's March and I can't download anything. How do you think, isn't it time to remind HTC has to release a East EU rom?
No luck-
I tried downloading the newest HTC update from Feb 09-- still says your device is not supported.
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any idea if this will work ok for me?????
HTC Diamond in South Africa
Although I am a member of the HTC europe club, I do not have access to the 2.03 Jan release ROM at this stage.
The reason for this is that the SA agents have still not had the ROM approved by our Network Operators, so the HTC Club site continues to post the old Rom.
Once the approval is given, HTC will post the new ROM for us to upgrade.
HTC uses the serial numbers to control who gets what ROM upgrades.
Our phones are HTC branded and not network locked. It is illegal for networks to lock phones in SA.
Hi all,
I changed the rom on my touch diamond at the beginning of the year to one found on this site, it was much improved over the original. However now I want to unlock the handset from UK orange to allow a voda sim.
I tried the HTC Uni Unlock V1 but said I had the wrong firmware. Am I right in thinking that I need to downgrade the ROM before it can be unlocked?
Also is the orignal uk orange rom the wwe me one?
You'd of thought someone would of created a free unlock code tool by now lol
TIA
ROM has no effect on Sim unlock. There is a SIM unlock service for the Diamond available on this forum. There is a free solution but its not on the forum - can't link to it or give name as i'll get a ban. Google it and im sure you'll find it.
Hey,
I've got a o2 branded HD7 (original latest mango rom) which is developer unlocked using apphub.
Was just wondering if there was a way to unbrand it?
Thanks.

delete the O2 Apps, flash a Europe (aka Unbranded) Shipped ROM, or flash a Custom ROM.
for the last two... link to a tutorial in my signature, if needed.
My HD7 was like yours but ended up flashing the NewTech ROM,
there are too many restrictions and not enough features to a stock phone.
