[Q] HD7 - Basic Questions on flashing and unbranding

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

You need to flash an official nodo rom to downgrade the bootloader. Do you have a t-mobile US version?

[Q] About upgrade to 2.3.5 and sense 3.0

Hi!! I'm from Venezuela, I bought my Incredible S S710e unlocked from amazon.com. My question is: will I be able to upgrade OTA? I've seen that many people have got the update already and I don't know if I can. or how can I get it.
Since my phone is not from Venezuela what can I do to get this upgrade.. my phone is stock.
Does this upgrade depends on the country where the phone was made? Or where its been used? Becouse I think HTC doesn't support Venezuela.
Sorry for my English, I hope you understand my doubt and help me..
Thank you!!

If you have a S710E unlocked and it is running Gingerbread version 2.30.405.1, then you should be able to go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Updates and push the Check Now button and you should get the OTA update notification.
If not, then you could try installing the 3.08.405.3 RUU using a goldcard.

sure u want to upgrade to sense 3?

Mine is running 2.3.3, and when I push the check now and it say "there are no updates available for your phone"
what is 3.08.405.3 RUU using a goldcard? is there any guide for that in the forum?
I`m not very skilled in this

2.3.3 is the version of Android, 2.30.xxx and 3.08.xxx are the HTC ROM versions.
If you go to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information, it will show you both the Android version and the Software number.
This thread has a link to the official HTC ROMs that have been made available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
3.08.405.3 is the latest one and corresponds Android version 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0

Wrong forum, this is the M7 forum, you have to post in the M8 forum.
