[Q] Unbranding WP7?

I'm looking at unbranding my phone to remove the O2 boot screen and the O2 Colour but I was reading this: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888747&page=20
and ansar.ath.gr says
Hi,
We always need to apply for a windows live id.
It is a good practice to use different id when we unbrand to another ROM.
Use the initial id when return to the initial branded ROM.
It is a suggestion only, in order to preserve privacy.
Regards, ansar.

Is there a reson to use a differnt Windows Live ID when Unbranding?
as I have allot linked to my current one!
Sorry I would of posted this on the link above but I dont have the required number of posts?

Vodafone UK have stated they do not support Windows Phone 7 Updates
so can some one anwser my above question...
Also will the updates be published by yourselfs using the same method...

they can only skip one update, as they will have to accept the next one which is a cumulative update and include the previous one as well.

but what they have not told you is that they can take aslong as they like to test these software updates (in other words they can skip as meany as they like)
I would still like my original question anwsered as I want to remove the O2 Stuff...

Will I be able to : -
Buy Applications
Buy Games
Sync Facebook
with a custom firmware?

I'm using t-mobile us and facing the same problem.

official branded firmware 2.3.6. for croatia

Pls, sb give me link to download the firmware to update it with odin because kies is not working as it should.
On some phones it does, on this one NOT.
T-mobile Croatia

try this link

Not sure if there is an official one for your country or at least from your provider.. but this one will work fine on your mini..

I see. So it is provider specific. i do not know any link for that since the available stock ROMs in the net are region specific. Try your providers website..

Of course that is provider specific. Every carrier branded mobile phone has different version that are region specific. No provider will give you their version of android not by mail, not through server or sth else, that's why there are services where you come and spend your time/money.
So please give me a answer, not a suggestion where should i go to or download a different one. I was specific in my thread so please be so kind and specific with the answer.

i got the answer from another site, so this thread can be closed or deleted, thank you all who tried

[Q] ROM Proximus Be

Hello,
Sorry for my bad English ^^
I search a ROM for the operator Proximus in Belgium. If someone know who find a official ROM ? :laugh:
Thanks a lot,
Aireil

Are you looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus, or are you really looking for a ROM modified by Proximus? If so, I didn't even know they did that... I've certainly never bumped into one, I'd doubt providers would make them publicly available :/
However, if you're just looking for a ROM for a phone you bought from Proximus but is essentially just an i9000 (or variant) then just look in the development sections for a ROM that suits your needs. Usually the phone + SIM 'deals' in Belgium are just a regular phone plus a crappy service

Unfortunately, i search a ROM by Proximus. The operator have his own ROM, like Orange in France. And this ROM have some application for Proximus

Yuck
There's probably nothing you can find in that case. If you currently have their ROM on your phone and there's no update made available to you it's highly unlikely Proximus would ever do any effort to provide updates... Is there any specific reason why you are looking for this ROM if you already have it on your phone?

Ho no, i don't have it on my phone. I need it for an application Proximus include in the ROM ^^

How could you ever want... more bloatware?!
Anyway, I found a couple of things you may find interesting. Firstly, if you're lucky the application you're looking for may be available from Google play, Belgacom has a couple of apps on there => https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Belgacom
Also, I found a topic on another site (in French, but since you're from Belgium too that shouldn't be a problem), which is here http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/55453-rom-originale-proximus-belgique/, where somebody has pretty much the exact same problem. You could always try that

Thanks for you're help, i saw the post on FrAndroid before come here, but i can't run CheckFus. :crying:
Yes, it's this app but i need an official ROM for it's work ^^

Hello,
It's possible to put a "official" version on my Galaxy S and after Upgrade by Kies ?
Because for the moment, i can't upgrade with Kies.

Samsung Note SM-N9208 Duos

Hello,
I bought N9208 today with the knowledge that it is compatible to my current carrier TMobile. I have several questions for those who have this phone.
#1. Am I able to install the operating system from TMobile? I am basically a noob when it comes to rooting etc etc. The phone comes unlocked.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

-> im not sure, but most likely not at the moment.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
-> Tmobile phone will have Tmobile bloatwares
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
-> Worship its beauty. Flash software???, what year is it man... Flash passed away already.
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
-> no unlock means you can use it with any carrier you can think of. if you want to root, go here , this worked wonder for my 9208.
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

I think you shouldn't do anything to your phone during a few days, to make sure that everything works fine. With an unlocked phone you'll be able to use any SIM card, and with a rooted phone you'll be able to see, modify and delete system files that otherwise can't be seen, so if a phone is unlocked it doesn't mean that it's also rooted.
To flash a new ROM you can use Odin.

Thank you, the tracking says my phone will arrive tomorrow. I will make sure it works fine with TMobile before doing anything else.
Oh... what do you mean by "To flash a new ROM you can use Odin?" Does this mean I can use TMobile's operating system and not from Taiwan's since this is from Taiwan? Sorry i am really a noob when it comes to this.

You can't use a firmware of the N920T on your N9208, as they are different models. You can only install a firmware that is specific for your device model.

So what should I do? lol I don't want Taiwan's apps. I would like to cater my phone as closely as TMobile's.

I have the N9208 and use it on TMOUS. It does not come with any Taiwan apps, just all Samsung official apps. The traditional Chinese keyboard and handwriting recognition are on by default. I have not tried turning them off since I do write in Chinese sometimes. You cannot install TMO FW as they are two different models. The main difference is that the TMO supports Samsung Pay while the N9208 does not yet since it is not supported in TW yet. It is not rooted by default.

So what should I do? Just leave it alone for now, and not root it? Can the keyboard be changed to simplified chinese?

It's up to you, just know that if you do root, it will trip Knox. That means you won't be able to use Samsung Pay if it gets released in the future and Android Pay unless there is some workaround. Yes, there is Simplified Chinese. You can also always download third party keyboards if you prefer.

Oh, what do you mean by "traditional chinese on by default?" I mostly type in English, so I hope English Language can be on default. I currently have Note 3, and if I swipe the space key, it switches to simplified chinese. Is Note 5 similiar to this that?
I guess I will leave it alone for a bit and see how it does. I read on the T Mobile forum at Tmobile website and it says N9208 does not have "LTE" and that wi fi calling isn't available? Is this true though?
Thanks

I just received my Note 5 N9208, and there isn't simplified chinese. Do I go to google play to download it? Also, the weather, how do I add multiple cities' weather? I am not liking the Samsung keyboard already. Can someone help? thanks

I just mean that when you first use the device the default keyboard and handwriting are set to both traditional Chinese and English. Yes you can deselect Traditional and change it to English. On the Note5 you just click on the globe key and it will change the language. It does support LTE. I posted a picture in a post somewhere, you can look at my history to find it. It does not have wifi calling from what I can tell.

I read elsewhere in the forum that the N9200 (China Note 5) does not come with the google play store and that rooting is often required to get it. I don't want to root. Does the N9208 come with the google play store? I assume yes since it's the Taiwan version, but would love to get some confirmation. Thanks! My plan is to use the phone on AT&T in the US states, and on China Mobile in China (N9208 should be fine for use in China as long as not using China Telecom, from what I've seen on frequencycheck).

Xperia 1 ii issue

Hi experts, I had a Sony Xperia 1 ii Docomo version (SO-51A), I want to flash a customized software on it (UK or International versions), is that possible ???

Not sure what you variant is (japan?)
I have a xqat52 HK international dual Sim.
And successfully flashed xq-at51 UK on it.
Before flashing UK rom I could not access 5G in UK.
However you need to know I had many issues after with Google and play store device not certified.
Since it was altered, still official rom, but once you flash anything different to your original rom, you will have issues.
Be prepared to Google loads, and find out it is worth it for you.
You will need to read about possibly rooting it, so you can enjoy your device in the region you want with the features you want.
Remember unlocking bootloader, you will loose your drm. I was not too bothered about it.

I converted my 1ii from HK to UK successfully.
With the latest build
58.1.A.5.507
Using flasher
It is possible, but read carefully everything and do your research 1st. You will need some knowledge on using adb / flasher / fastboot / android Kitchen / Magisk / etc..
Unlock your bootloader too. (if you want root and not have Google issues after)
You need to check if your handset can have the bootloader unlocked, as from what I read not all handsets have this option enabled...
There is a Sony webpage (Google) that tells you whether you can do that or not....
Make sure you understand the risks and have the knowledge to do it all, as bootloops looks like a norm on forums after flashing....
