Hey Guys,
I have an AT&T HTC HD7S that is missing the Internet Sharing feature, so I am wanting to flash another ROM, to get around this. Can I flash the following ROM on this device, or can I only flash ROMs from the devices region?

I am currently getting an 'Invalid Vendor ID' error message when trying to flash the ROM.

if you want to debrand your HD7S, you can only do so via goldcard method or XSPL. though, you may be able to via goldcard-style method.
that ROM most certainly won't have ISharing, though. least not to my knowledge.

Hi All,
A friend of mine has a Vodafone uk Nexus One (whilst I have a Three UK Desire lol), and I used to have a T-Mobile UK G1. One of the things you could do with that (and from experiences with friends' Heros) was create a goldcard and flash a google unbranded image.
Question is, can that be done with the Nexus one? I know how to create goldcards, but I don't see any RUU exe files anywhere. Obviously he'd like to get froyo asap and avoid the voda delays in future too.
So, he doesn't want to do custom roms, just would like to have the option of stock roms and ideally OTA updates when google give them not when voda mess about with them and eventualy release them. He doesn't want to void the warranty though, so as I understand it, fastbooting a .img file is out as he'd have to unlock the bootloader?

Hmm, unrooted nexii one are able to flash froyo without a goldcard, no idea about branded handsets. I'd suggest finding the link for frf91(latest froyo build) somewhere around these boards, chucking it on the sdcard as update.zip and hope for the best.
Maybe get the noradio .zip first, just incase it goes terribly wrong. I doubt it will though, it will either work or not flash at all, so give it a try.
We tried using a goldcard with an frf91 universal rom (i.e. the direct from google signed zip), but it failed verifiation on the phone's update system. I'm assuming RUU checked for goldcard but the standard recovery ignores goldcards
Anyone got any more suggestions?
Root the phone / unlock the bootloader, and flash whatever you want. There is no "unbranding", since Nexus isn't branded. It's just that there is no stock update that is based on your version (EPF21?), so no update will be executed.
He can try the "non-voiding-warranty" root, though it's specified to work for Froyo. If it doesn't work for him - he can try the PASSIMG.zip way of upgrading to some version that will allow root. If that fails too - oh well... Either root the usual way, unlocking bootloader, or accept the fate.

You can try the tutorial at http://bloginblack.de/2010/07/how-t...e-google-nexus-one-from-epf30-to-froyo-today/
I had same issues as my N1 was EPF30 build probably a EU one and the above tutorial helped me get all the new updates OTA, because to the best of my knowledge Froyo is not yet available OTA in EU, atleast that's what i found in google

Greetings All,
Just bought a HD7 from Telstra in Australia and I have a simple question regarding the ROM currently on it in regards to receiving updates on the device.
What I am really after is the ability to free myself from Telstra in an official way.
I'd like a Vanilla ROM for my HD7 that will still allow me to receive updates from Microsoft and/or HTC as they are released, cutting out the 'Approval Time' set by Telstra. (Telstra is one of two carriers worldwide that still hasn't released NoDo for their network - I'm scared to even ask about the HTC Specific update released just after NoDo)
Is what I'm asking to do impossible?
I can see the ROM available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993186
It looks official enough, but I'd like confirmation that this ROM will still allow me to receive updates as I've heard that people hacking ROMS/Updates onto their devices won’t be receiving future updates.
A secondary request would be help unlocking of said ROM so that I can tinker with the registry, side load apps ect, but at the moment I'd just like the ability to receive updates as they are released.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Estens.

Frist: Gratz to your HD7!
Depending on your country laws, a modification of the preinstalled rom is not legal or at least voids your warranty. (thankfully in germany its only the latter, which makes no effect bevause you can flash back to an operator ROM for warranty reasons).

It is possible to flash any compatible rom (HD7 ROM) on your device. See this thread for a howto. The other way is that ansar provides a hacked rom that you can update without goldcard. (See the threads of him in the dev Froums). But keep in mind that they are modified by ansar and therefore not really official. (I use one of them on my phone atm, without any problems)

This rom is a telstra rom with OS Verion 7389. The official OS verion is 7390. So if you flash this one, you still will get an update via zune (the 7390 one). I did not see any differencec between 7389 and 7390.

You want an dev-unlock via chevron. Just search a bit around, there are many informations out in the web how to do that.

It was possible to force a NoDo Update via chevron (that has nothing to do with dev-unlock or flashing a rom on you rdevice). If you do this (force the nodo update via chevron) you possibly won't get any further updates.
Hope i helped

Huh? I thought Ansar's ROMs were just various branded/unbranded ROMs? Pretty sure you can't install a truly modified ROM with a locked bootloader, right? Some people have security unlocked phones, and can thus flash whatever they want. In my case, though, Ansar's TMOUS ROM system image has the exact same md5 as Football's stock...therefore, I'm assuming it still has MS signatures intact. Flashing anything without a signature fails at 0% on my phone.
I was under the impression that Ansar's unbranded ROMs take advantage of the fact that certain branded phones (O2 for example?) simply allow flashing of unbranded ROMs (or other still signed bootloaders, which allow flashing of unbranded ROMs)? Is this anywhere near correct?

I have flashed a ROM from ansar to unbrand my HD7 from O2. But i can't flash a HTC Europe ROM (invalid vendor ID). I'm not sure if they are hacked or not but dorianmuthig stated here that they are.
Maybe ansar himself can bring in some light.
Thanks for the info ST13Hogan, your a champion.
Basically, the method to use would be to flash to the ROM I mentioned in the original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993186
Then unlock the ROM using the dev-unlock tools.
Then upgrade the device to recieve NoDo.
This will still leave me at the mercy of Telstra for updates though will it not? Pretty sure they still haven't approved NoDo for their network so I'll have to wait till it gets approved before i can do this.
Thanks again.
Estens.
On a somewhat related note, i found this article and it looks rather interesting.
Can anyone confirm that this works as it may be exactly what i've been looking for.

Now is it safe to do a manual install by going into recovery?
My Incredible S is S-ON from Bell stock ROM.
Please let me know! Thanks!
Couldn't wait... tried it
Got an error saying "Invalid Operation" and automatically reboots.
Damnit!
Rename to pb32img.zip (or pg see downgrade guide in dev) and than boot to hboot, could do the trick. If that doesn't work you have to install by the ruu and perhaps a goldcard.

Help me understand what this ROM is.
What I am assuming is that this is an official unbranded/unmodified ROM directly from HTC with no carrier modifications. That means it has no carrier-specific apps? I would imagine this is the best ROM to install for those with unlocked devices or who wish to be rid of any carrier bloatware?
Who gets this update over-the-air? Did they purchase a factory unlocked Incredible S directly from HTC?
I've seen a lot of people asking, but have yet to see an answer posted. Has anybody succeeded in installing the WWE OTA update on an S-On Bell IS? Is a goldcard required? Also, is there a radio difference between Bell IS and European IS, since they use different bands? And lastly, if so, does it cause any noticeable issues?
I'd like to try it, but was wondering if anybody else had first!
I tried could not on bell

Yeah I have a Bell Incredible S that I unlocked to use on MTS... so what could Bell have done exactly that would prevent goldcards from working?
hi i also have an IS on the bell network as well. however my phone is unlocked and i am currently using it on rogers so im guessing i'll never get the udate. and i have no other option rather than to manually intall it. so i would also like to try this, at least to see if it will work on my device. im just wandering how to go about in doing this. if you could give me a step by step instruction, i would appreciate it. let me know if i need tools like a gold card or something as such. thank you.

Hi all,
I'm wanting to flash my HTC one 32gb, UK Three network, with the international software so I can receive updates much quicker rather than waiting for my carrier to approve them as well.
First off will I need S-off for this to work because of the carrier lock? I've only ever had unlocked phones before, when I have rooted them. Also what are the best tools for the job? I am looking for that lastest stock international stock ROM that I can root. I'm fine with command line tools like; fastboot, adb ect. Been off the rooting scene in a while since I had a galaxy nexus, with its unlock boot loader option
Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
This is your best option for rooting
You can't have s-off yet not done yet

So how can I unlock the boot loader so I can flash a custom recovery? I do not have the option of going to fastboot and unlocking it like on the nexus. Also mine is a carrier version so i assume I cannot unlock the bootloader from the HTC dev site.

Thanks guys I've done it! Unlocked it the via the HTC dev site and flashed the clockwork mod recovery, then flashed the latest stock ROM. So now I should not have to wait for my network carrier to deliver the updates. Did it on my macbook using fastboot and adb.
So for future reference for anyone else;
HTC one on carrier Three UK, flashed with latest stock ROM with no problems.
No need for S-off either.

That is where you might have troubles. Because the OTA updates will still look at your CID and if your CID doesn't match up (which it won't) because the update is for the CID in the UK region and your CID is for example the Australian region then the update won't install.

Hi, can i ask where you got the Stock ROM from? I rooted mine the other day, then decided i wanted to unroot it, and in trying to do so I ended up using the wrong RUU and now the Wifi and Camera dont work. I am an idiot.
So ive decided ill settle for a stock ROM for now until someone comes along with the UK Three RUU.
Thanks in advance
Hi, I just had a new HTC ONE, it's CID is ORANG202.
I want to get rid of all orange stuff and bloatware.
I wonder wheter or not i can flash a HTC_EUROPE ROm in it.
Of course due to different CIDs and the fact t'here s no possibilit of changing CID os SOFFing the device I know i can't use htc ruu.
Anyway, I did unlock bootloader and Installed CWM and rooted the device. Can I flash now a original HTC europ (not orange rom) via CWM. I know i won t get OTA update, but who cares, as soon as a new update will be available, i'll find the rom here.
nd how to flash with CWM given the fact that the device has no SDCARD ? I always did that from SDs in the past.
Thanks for any answers.
Wish a Good day to everyone.

Yeah you can. Download it onto your phone, go to CWM, install zip, install zip from sdcard (internal) and choose your download folder where it will be.

Thanks for answer. And this is coing to work despite of the fact my phone is orang202 and not the rom ? Which means I m looking forward to see the pure android rom without sense.
Without sense makes sense
And, by the way, still no way to change cid ?
I m sure changing cid would allow me to use ruu s from HTC an ever get OTA...
