Hi guys!
I own HTC Fuze.I'm wondering if someone knows what will happend, if i reload my HTC Fuze(unlocked) with ROM intended for unlocked GSM HTC Touch Pro/P7272(EUR MODEL)?
I want to do this in order to get rid of the ATT aplications and plug ins.
Just to instal software that is intended to be used with the free unlocked HTC Touch Pros anywhere on the world.
I thnik you guys caught what I mean.So any suggestions will be appreciated.

There are plenty of ROMs to choose from here that are optimized for the Fuze. None of them have any of the AT&T crap. The one in my signature below is, in my opinion, one of the best ever and is specifically made for the Fuze. Take a look at the link I posted above and you should be able to find one that you like. BTW you can flash a Touch Pro ROM to your Fuze, you may have to change the keyboard layout after flashing though. Oh yeah, read here first if you have not already done so.
I have been searching all week and can find no info on anyone having successfully rooted the Sprint (CDMA) Hero.
I'm sorry to post here but it seems to be the most active android modder board, has any Dev managed to acquire a CDMA hero and is any Dev attempting to root it?
Is this just wishful thinking on my part? I sincerely hope not!
After a week playing with I can say it blows the G1 away! Battery life, speaker quality, form factor, etc, far and away a better more reliable device.
A word of caution to anyone going from the TMobile G1 to the Sprint Hero... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BACK UP YOUR APPS OR DATA ON THE G1 & THEN RESTORE THEM ON YOUR HERO! YOU WILL LOOSE NETWORK CONNECTION TO SPRINT! I suspect that apps & data downloaded & used thru the TMobile network on your G1 are unable to use a CDMA connection and attempt to modify your system to access the TMobile network. This breaks connectivity and only a wipe has fixed it (hard wipe using the ##786# menu + your individual reset code from Sprint). Your best hope is to re-download your apps. The good news is your download history should show most of your apps and allow you to download them from your CDMA Hero.
Moderators, my sincere apologies if you feel I posted in the wrong forum. I felt it best to reach the active modders I am aware of and offer some transfer advice for those making the switch.
Thanks all,

you're probably in the right forum, since rooting is development. but i do think you should check out the hero forum just in case there's stuff about the Sprint Hero
I dont know much about it but maybe someone can clarify things...now i know cdma is what sprint, verizon, metro, cricket, etc use. Is cdma a hardware type thing or is it a network type thing? And can the sprint hero img be ported and modified to the g1 and somehow allowing it to be flashed to a metro/cricket type service?? Just questions im curious about...
thanks for the response, I agree and posted a different post related only to the Sprint Hero on that forum (hopefully i did not abuse the forum rules, if I did, I understand if a Dev locks or deletes one).

I may be wrong about this but to my knowledge, CDMA is a Network as well as Hardware and software type of thing. When Android was developed it was not capable of running on a CDMA network, one of many things added when Cupcake (firmware 1.5) was relased. CDMA is a network type so GSM only devices will not work on it and as far as I can tell devices built for CDMA are built specifically for that. There is some sort of hardware in there that allows the device to connect to the CDMA network that GSM only devices dont have. (I may be wrong about this though, I also believe it has to do with the radio).
Finally, I dont know what metro or cricket is and I also didn't know that the G1 was on those networks but if it is, I would assume that if those are CDMA networks its not the same G1 that was released on TMO and differers internally in that it can function on a CDMA network. If that is the case then its probably possible. If not then no.
Dont quote me on any of this. I'm not saying this from an experts point of view just from what I have concluded based on what I know about network types, devices and Android.

CDMA is hardware AND network... not software.

it is now. but originally it was only built for GSM... only T-Mobile's GSM most likely lol
this is really dumb but has some tried one click root yet? or will that mess up the recovery image leading to a possible brick. becase its running 1.5 not 1.6 right?
I one click rooted my friends g1 the other day and it works fairly well. Don't think you can use the gsm hero root method to root a cdma hero.
Just fyi attempted to root the Sprint Hero using the one click method, but was unsucessful. I couldn't seem to back up the stock image. Any advice?

it would probably be best to wait till more people get their hands on the sprint hero. the more people that get their hands on it, the faster way a rooting method that works will be found

I hope, it will be soon...
I have bad news from HTC them self, If your a 3 Pay or Virgin Customer you WILL NOT get the over the air update, also if you have disabled virgins home screen you might see why if it was 3pay config why the update does not work HTC send out the wildfires to virgin still load with 3pays programs just hidden with virgins home screen, but HTC told me to day.
HTC said:
At this moment in time we are still releasing the 2.2 upgrade for the HTC Desire. It is more than likely that the HTC Wildfire will get this upgrade, but we need to finish sending it to the HTC Desires first. Unfortunately I cannot give you a time scale on this. It will be posted on our webpage, www.htc.com, when there is more information available. 2.2 is currently the highest ROM version out. This upgrade itself is only available over the air, it is not located on our website. Providing you are not branded to the 3 or Virgin networks, you will receive this upgrade. The upgrade is having to be released in batches as the servers will not ba able to send out the upgrade to everyone at once. Your phone automatically searches for upgrades every 14 days, there will be a notification pop up on your phone when this is available for downloading.

I can only HOPE that they will let the 3pay and virgin handests have the stock update, virgin contact HTC and was told there devices would have the update but HTC tell me no live update whats strange when virgin uses the t-mobile nextwork so I can only think this has something to do with under the hud its still a 3pay device.
I will update you on any other replys the company as to say as I replyed to them with what virgin have told me and virgin have also seen that they are 3pay device under the hud I told them how to do it to view it also look in your programs list the 3 pay apps are listed there without a problem for people that like larncher pro or panda home will also see the icons come back so you might need to re hid them.
Dont worry about the update.
I mean, its gonna be great when it comes, BUT i'd suggest NOT TO download the over the air (OTA) update when it becomes available on your wildfire!
Reason:
it will probably be the same as with the HTC Desire: the OTA update will not be able to root anymore! PROBABLY.. well most most most likely.
So i suggest you guys wait up for some developers to show up here, and make a root and recovery image for your device, so you can start making custom roms based on official 2.2 when it becomes available.
Custom roms will have all that official has, PLUS extra goodies and optimization, so it will be worth waiting. If you will flash an official 2.2 over your phone, you might not be able to get a custom rom... EVER!
Its up for you guys to decide. Patience is the key!

I don't get that options I have to keep it official for at lest 2 years thats how long the phone is supported for on my contact if I just got the phone from ebay or htc them self I would already have a cocked version but i don't get that option this this case lol.
Im sorry, i really tried to get it right, read your post 6 times but cant figure it out can u try in diferent words?
Flashing a rom voids your waranty - if u take a custom flashed rom to your phone service. if u unroot ur phone and flash original rom before u take ur phone to the service to fix it, your waranty becomes alive again as if nothing ever happened.
But
If you update your phone with htc official ota froyo, you wont be able to loose waranty because u wont be able to root ur phone, ever (or at least not for a long time, until some dev finds a way).
I didnt get the ebay part. If u bought the phone on ebay you wouldnt have waranty for 2 years because the seller wouldnt offer u one, like the official phone company that has to give u 2 years waranty. And u haveto keep it official only if u want to have a valid waranty, if not you fflash a custom rom and you are in sameel position if u bought the phone on ebay.
Thats what i could read from ur post, if u meant anything diferent, please tell, i stand corrected.

OK a rom installing will void your worranty the defailt virgin rom is not avable for download so how can you refalsh it back? I was talking about Virgin devices NOT all others, HTC are not doing a Over the air update for virgin or 3 pay users any time soon this was from HTC them selfs, I never said I got mine from ebay I said if you did get it from ebay then yes adding a new rom is all kool but my is with virgin on contact there for unable to change the rom as I can't get my hands on this rom.
am i going to root it? no why, cos not seen a stable root yet so dumbing my own rom is out of the question.
I can't really see what I am typing so sorry if this is is harder to read, I am dislexic so spelling not my fortay lol I am happy to explain things again
Peace.
Oooh right makes sense now so virgin is like a mobile provider like orange or O2. And u asked if i bought it on ebay i dunno how i missed that part lol
Right to explain a bit, i got my desire on a 2 year contract as well however rules in our country demand our providers not to lock the phones down, means we buy a phone on contract.with one provider and u can freely use any providers sim card and their networkas long as u are.still paying the monthly fee of the contract.
Its same thing with desire - branded.phones will get froyo later. But when u rootbur phone to flash a custom rom, the brand doesnt matter anymore as it becomes unlocked. As well as voids waranty.
But its aall a lot easier for the desire coz the support is so much better, wildfire is well... really limited when it comes to custom roms as its a lot slower and diferent procesor as.well as less ram and that all causes devs problems in cooking a good rom. So it might take a while to get a better rom.
Besides not so many new things on froyo that eclair doesnt have. Ok there are some goodies of course, but kany people dont use it on a daily baisis so its really nothing you guys are missing. U will loose more by flasing an ota froyo than waiting for a good custom rom to he made based on froyo after a while.
But, if any of u have a chance to give some extra money, go buy a.desire instead. Seriously, my friend bought a wildfire and when i saw it... its just not a quarter of a desire. Maybe u dont see it when u never held a desire before,but when u get used of desires amoled u just can stand an hour with wildfire. Not to mention the speed and xda support and custom roms.
Desire in my country costs 300 eur on 2 year contract for 15eur per month, its worth every cent, i would never buy a wildfire that costs 130 eur on same contract. I would feel i wasted at least 100eur for a bad cause.
If u get a chance buy a desire u will love it i guarantee u. Lol i think i will cuarge the htc for advertisuing their phone, but its just an insane device and i think im good with phones for couple of years since this is my laptom ib 3.7 inch version

I have used side by side the wildfire and desire yes the screen and gaming is better on the desire but using the default HTC home screen and all the HTC bulk my wild fire was faster and better to handle the same HTC Sences takes, and your right the wild fire is half the size but does not make it less of a device, my phone is not a gaming system so I don't care in the game speed, in my tests the wildfire as been tweeked where the desire fell, and well HTC had time to do this with the wildfire, but just cos its a slower profess and less ram is like saying my P4 dual ore is not as good as my P4 Core 2 duo, my systems both have tasks that one is better then the other at.
The desire is wast of money in my eyes, my htc hd2 is way better phone so since i don't need it for gaming I jumped for the wildfire.
I wont be adding a cooked rom to my device this is what I am stating and virgin mobile users wont be getting the update far as HTC care right now, they say there not sure there still might release a stock version but in there words the desire they have had a problem with the update on that handset HTC stated this not me.
The desire is not a bad handset before you have a go at me but that does not make it a better hand set over the wildfire.
I sold my HTC Hero with cyanogen and found out the woman couldn't activate the phone. I was just reading through the forums and realized because it has cyanogen she won't be able to activate and the only way to do it is to put a fresh ROM on it. Can someone help me with which ROM I have to put on? Is this the correct one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584032
Once she installs this ROM will she be able to activate the phone? The only other option is to just have her send it back to me and I give her a full refund versus partial refund.
Thanks!
Yes, that will work

Why don't you have her make a nandroid backup before she flashes the other activates the phone and restores the nandroid then she shouldn't need a refund at all

i had the same problem! i was on the phone with sprint when i couldnt activate my phone. i was like "uuuuuuhhh...you know wat! the idiot i got this from hacked this phone, call me back in 10 minutes, i will restore it back to official firmware." i flashed a Fresh ROM which took like 20 minutes for some reason and the guy was on the phone with me while it was flashing...i had to keep saying "its still booting..its okay, it takes a long time on the first boot." the rep was really cool about it.
Hmm, so, you don't need to be on an actual sprint ruu, just a sense rom to activate a phone?

Any ROM that is based on the Sprint ROM (has working profile update/prl update) can be used to allow SPrint to activate a new phone.
+1 on the nandroid before flashing new ROM so she can return to CM6 quickly.
And lets always remind people who are selling Heros to flash back to a stock based ROM to help the poor guy out who thinks he got screwed!
Well, she shipped the phone back to me. She was too scared to do it on her own, I don't blame her. I'll upgrade the phone and have to do it all over again. Thanks guys, appreciate the help!
Hi guys, I just flashed this ROM [ROM][24/11] Dynamics v2.0 - Newer WP7.8 since it indicated it has a SIM Toolkit, but I can't find it. Any help will be very much appreciated as I keep switching phones every time I need this feature, which is a lot of times... Thanks
it's on settings...
people settings have export to SIM.
The main mode of talk time top up is through the sim toolkit settings that are always being updated with new product introductions. It's technically the only thing missing... Is there no other solution to this at all?

Sorry wrong answer..
for you maybe it's needed, but the lack of that thing is the reason why I like WP.
Every phone has those useless "services" (in my country they are pure money wasting crap), but maybe you need it because of some financial services that uses the SIM card, and the SIM Toolkit is needed.
I'm very sorry for not helping you
