[Q] HD7 Unlocking Debranding.

Hey Guys,
I'm looking to upgrade to the HD7 in the near future main reason i'm waiting is because o2 UK has the device as an exclusive at the moment and i'm not prepared to switch network. I know some people have already unlocked their devices to be used on other carriers but from what you can tell has the been any repercussions? Also are there any unmodded - debranded ROMS avaliable?

if you buy a security unlocked one then you can flash a clean HTC rom .

I haven't found anywhere selling factory unlocked versions of the HD7 in the UK unless you can enlighten me i would be most greatful.

Ceesheim, do you know what is the percentage of security unlocked among all HD7s? So far I've seen 2 in our discuss group more than 200 members. One is my T-mobile version, so lucky to get it, the other is one of the members, which i told him to search every bootloader mode before purchase, and he found it yesteday, O2 version.

[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

[Q] Get back to stock Rom AND keep sim unlock

Hi everyone,
Before I begin, I just want to say that I've searched for a clear answer (here and on some french forums), et and I really didn't understand anything... Since I bought my Note a few hours ago. I'm new to this.
I just don't get anything, with all the Odin and kernels stuffs...
So, let me explain my problem : I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note that was previously simlocked (at SFR, I'm in France, and I'm with Orange), the seller said it was sim unlocked at a store (but hey, I don't know if it's true).
Thing is, the Note has a Custom Rom, and I'd really prefer a Stock one (I don't like JKay, I want OTA update etc..).
But :
1) I don't understand anything. CFW is installed, if that can help you... I don't know which Rom I should take, how to install it... I'm Lost.
2) Do I lose the sim unlock by reverting to a stock rom ? If so, how to keep the unlock ?
Since I'm a real newbe, I took a screenshot of the "About the Phone" section to give you more details. It's right here
Thanks to all of you, have a nice day =)
Daz.

[Q] Unlocking and unbranded ROMs

Hi guys
I have a Lumia 620 locked to Vodafone - Portugal, but I will unlock it as soon as I get the code. After I unlock it, I want to flash an unbranded ROM, but I have a few questions:
1) I can't find any Portuguese unbranded ROM for the Lumia 620. Is it ok to use any other country unbranded ROM (like Spain or France)?
2) Will I still be able to get OTA updates with the new ROM?
3) Will I get Data Sense?
Thanks!

Answer to question #1: Don't think so. Maybe someone who has more experience under their belt will know this.
Answer to question #2: If question #1 were to be yes, then this answer will be yes as well.
Answer to question #3: Since GDR2 and Amber update, all countries and carriers get Data Sense.

Thanks for the answer. I currently don't have Data Sense and I have GDR2 / Amber, that's why I was asking.

Are you sure you're using GDR2/Amber? I'm 100% sure when I was on Amber I had Data Sense. Try doing a phone update on your Lumia and see if you get another update to maybe give you Data Sense.

Answer 3 is wrong, AT&T removed data sense from the update. I have been looking up international roms for my phone in the USA. Many ppl debrand their phone using an international ROM. I dont know about other carriers, just know that ATT removes that feature.

Oh, really? I thought all phones would have had Data Sense since that's what the changelog said.
Why did they remove it,anyway?

Your guess is good as mine. Guess they don't want us to have that feature

if it's a unbranded rom you want, it doesn't have to be UK.

A little understanding is a dangerous thing.... Why ask if you don't want to take the advice....
The EE Rom has no bloat ware and is multi csc know I use it, Now I suggest that you listen or better still read and do your own research as when people are bothered to help you its not polite to throw the results in their faces...

as your advice is to the point and answers my question and confirms to me what i have read then thank you for your advice i will use the EE rom i just don't want f things up because i didn't ask
