I've currently got a working gold card for my ATT HD7S. I'm able to flash any ROM (including the 5.x Europe ROM).
First question: other than the ATT ROM, which STOCK ROM would be most appropriate for a T9295?
Second: This will sound paranoid, but I'm concerned about the different modem/radio. In terms of interference, I don't want to do anything dangerous or illegal. Could flashing a European T9292 ROM to my T9295 create any issues in this regard? Maybe enable bad WiFi frequencies, broadcasts, etc.?

Why are you wanting to flash a different stock rom? What would be the advantages?
I've flashed the DFT rom to my HD7S and not had any issues.

I'm actually considering flashing the T-Mobile ROM. Reports over at Microsoft Answers suggest that the T-Mobile update has fixed the Zune Music freeze problem. It's driving me nuts, and I'm never expecting a fix for the HD7S...
Based on the speaker/call quality issue, it's pretty obvious that they don't care about major functions being broken on this phone.

Also, DFT is based on the generic Europe ROM, right?
Still wondering about this. Are region specific settings like Wifi channels dependent on the ROM or the device? Will an American device with a European ROM use Wifi on channels 12-14 (against FCC rules)? Surely not? I'm only asking because I read somewhere that using channel 12 might have been causing WiFi ICS issues.

Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!
I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.
AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine
Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

Hi!
[Q1] I wanted to know weather it is safe to flash an Asia ROM to a Europe device or vice versa. My WP7 is not carrier locked and has the ROM flashed detailed in my sig and running smooth. I was searching the fora for this answer but I could not find a Yes or No answer for it. So if I want to flash an Asia ROM for my phone will it work? (Why: higher version numbers might have more stability and radio version might improve GPS signals, etc.)
[Q2] What is the difference between ROMs for different carriers (O2, Telstra, TMO, BellMobility, etc)? If I flash one of these will my phone still connect to my service in Hungary? All of them has different version numbers and radios.
[Q3] Can I mix radios and ROMs as well?
[REQ] There really would be nice to have a wiki or guide with these questions detailed or a HowTo for beginners. Most of us is really a beginner with WP7 I think not mentioning flashing a WP7 device. I have experience with WM6.x.x flashing but only flashed my HD7 once.
Regards,
Cina.
Hello!! I am just trying to find out how we can unlock the phones that we bought from different carrier providers and how to upgrade them manually...
Since, I don't have a carrier based phone, I'm short of ideas on this topic. So, is there anyone who has upgraded to gingerbread in a carrier based rom, please make sure you reply with all the details.
Also, I especially want to know about upgrading in a Vodafone - Italy galaxy mini phone. If anyone had tried it please share it here.
Thanks!!!
Hey
I have a carrier based phone (Comcel in Colombia) and I upgraded to GB without any problems (I used ODIN to flash GB).
SIM gets unlocked due to the fact that the whole filesystem gets rewritten, so I'd say that there's no problem in flashing different version of the OS on carrier based devices.
The only way that would be a problem is if the carrier has custom apps that report back (kinda like Verizon does in the US with some HTC devices).
For the Italian Vodafone, sorry I can't help you with that

Yeah, phone's now SIM unlocked, regarding perfomance (besides the obvious Froyo to GB performanc boost) there's no discernable change, there shouldn't be any change unless you're flashing a non-compatible ROM (EU rom on a 5570L or viceversa).
I'm not a lawyer but from what I've heard the only way a carrier can find out that you have a custom ROM is if you take your phone for repairs and all they can do is void your warranty, nothing more, althought I'd check the service contract in case there's something hidden in there.
I have had the HTC Raider (the Korean name for the Vivid) for a while now. I have been waiting for the phone to pop up on here so I can try out some Roms.
Anyone have any idea if these roms would be compatible for the HTC Raider? I would HOPE so, but I imagine that it isn't that simple
I am already rooted by the way if that matters.
I am guessing here but I think the only difference will Probably be the radio's. If that is the case I would assume someone would be able to pull the radio from the Raider and make 2 different versions of the same rom just with different Radio's. Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom.

any HTC rom i have worked on or flashed has never included a radio in the rom flash.
I'm assuming once we have an unlocked bootloader, root, recovery and such that the modding community will be pretty decent. I imagine custom roms would work between several carriers. As long as you don't flash the wrong radio I don't see why there'd be any issues. Similar to several versions/carriers of the Evo 3D

Hence why I said. "Or have a way to flash the radio independent of the actual Rom." It has been a few months since I have been on an HTC device and I forgot how easy HTC is to Flash Radio's.

I'm assuming you're not referring to official RUU's. I'm pretty certain they tend to include radios. When dev's release custom roms they do not include radios...they tend to like to keep the individual aspects separate for customization
edit: just to be clear when I say RUU i'm not referring to an ruu that someone might have used to extract a stock rom or whatever i mean a real ruu_____.exe
No I was meaning the Radio's you can Flash from the bootloader on HTC Device's. The PC10IMG.zip type. Not sure what they need to be for this device but I assume it is the same type of thing.

You should be able to use the roms with a kernel update like I used to with my HTC dream using roms from the T-mobile. I think with the S-On that part can't be written onto anyways through the custom recovery. The dual-core chip is the same one as used in Korea, but they underclocked it to 1.2Ghz. However I noticed the major difference between the vivid/Raider(CDN) are the lte bands Korea is on 850 while we are using a mixture with mostly 700.

That's the only real hardware difference, I think. Korea uses 850MHz LTE, while Bell uses 700/1700/2100 and Rogers/ATT uses AWS/700.

Hey I would like to flash the Deepshining v6.1 rom to my HD7S. I am wondering one thing, when I flash back to NoDo, will it affect the radio since it is not an AT&T radio? Oh and one more thing, if that doesn't bother it, then will the Deepshining rom mess it up since it is for the HD7 (Tmobile or other euro version) not the AT&T version? I just want to make sure the radio will work fine (getting 3g and all).
thanks!
P.S. if it will mess it up, is there another radio I can flash to make it work? I really want to be able to side load apps.
You should be fine, I flashed the DFT rom to my HD7s and everything is working fine

as already stated... will be fine.
each of the Custom ROMs are unbranded, so any can be used on any Schubert device with XSPL.
one can change the Radio of their device. link in my signature.
Thanks but.....
Hey thanks for all the replies but now that I have a custom rom on my HD7S everything works great except 3g. It shows the icon (an "H") but I cannot surf the web or anything. It just tells me to check my connection. There is no posted radio for att mango so I am using the EURO radio (latest with tethering). What is wrong?
Please help...

use HTC Connection Setup to fix your data.
H is 3G or 3G+, depends on the Custom ROM using and what the chef set it as.
How did you do it? Is everything still working?
Hi mtweisenbarger ,
I also have the ATT HD7S and would like to flash the DeepShinning rom as well. How is DeepShinning ROM working for you, currious to see if you are still using it.
Trying to follow all these instrunctions from different pages is quite confusing. I just wanted to find out if you had to use the GoldCard method. I think once I get that piece done the rest will be pretty simple, I just wanted to confirm that you had to use it.
Any followup and advise would be much appreciated!
Thx!
