[HTC Radar] Richard Fantom:
I am sure that I am not the only one who has bought an Orange UK phone and wants to use in on another network. I'll get an unlock code to allow my T-Mobile SIM to work. But I want to unbrand the phone too so that I get rid completely of all the Orange branding and Orange software. What are my options?

1) simply flash with alternative branded ROM.

Inevitably this doesn't work and the RUU.exe program quickly indentifies the phone I am trying to flash has the Invalid Operator ID and will not flash it.

2) Goldcard.

I have a Windows 7 Phone Goldcard which I have created using an XTC Clip. I have copied the Europe.nbh ROM over to is and tried rename as OMEGIMG.nbh and RADAIMG.nbh. I've used a HD7 Unlock Kit Y-cable and put the Radar in USB Hostmode, but it has done nothing. (The same cable and SD card worked perfectly for my Mozart.)

3) Ansar's supplemented ROM method.

For other devices Ansar has supplement parts of the nbh file to twick the valid Operator ID check, I think using a "bin to d000ff builder". However, as I understand it, this won't work unless I have an RUU_Radar_Orange.exe file to start with.

Any other ideas?

Have been trying to flash .nbh file in Bootloader mode but stuck on 5% and bricked my phone and motherboard had to be replaced.

Have you considered flasing in USB mode using OTG cable?

Bought this one:

Could you send how to make goldcard for wp7?
[HTC Radar] Richard Fantom:
Sorry to hear you have bricked your phone.

I've got a little further in that I have definitely established that the image for Goldcard needs to be OMEGIMG.NBH (not RADAIMG.IMG). (With Radaimg.nbh the device says image not found.) Once the phone is connected to the HD7 Unlock cable, in USB Host Mode, with OMEGIMG on the Goldcard it says Loading, then drops into "Bootloader" mode, but with neither Serial or USB displayed.

I've not heard of the OTG cable. How does that work?

For Goldcard I made mine using the XTC Clip (Mozart mode). You can do it a longer method using an Android or Windows Mobile 6.x device which includes an SD slot, or a laptop that has a "real" SD card reader (not connected over any USB bus).
[HTC Radar] masi0:
OTG cable is a cable which allows you to connect usb stick/sdcard reader via USB

it definitely works with SGS2/Nokia
[HTC Radar] Richard Fantom:
Oh yes, I've just looked up info on the "On-The-Go" USB cable. It seems that there is a subtle difference from standard USB so that the device (mobile phone) can act as a host. Will the OTG cable allow the Radar to power the SD Card reader? Is there any evidence of it working on any other HTC Phones?
[HTC Radar] masi0:
I haven't tried that yet :)
[HTC Radar] Richard Fantom:
I'm embarassed to say that trying again with the goldcard I have misled you. On either filename the device says Loading, then Image not Found before dropping into Bootloader mode. I had not watched carefully enough before.

But from this I conclude that the device is seeing the goldcard (as before the y-cable is connected it does nothing), but not finding the correct image.

Any suggestions what other filenames should be tried?

So far I have tried IMG.NBH, OMEGIMG.NBH, RADAIMG.NBH

Is there any other code for the Radar 4G ?
[HTC Radar] MJCS:
You might want to check on the HD7 forums or the hacking forums for WP7. I have never used the Gold Card method so I am not sure how it works. Is it just an nbh file deployed to the card or is the card specificly formatted and then the nbh extracted to the specially formatted card. As far as I know the xtc clip only supports the HD7 and does not support the Radar (yet?).
[HTC Radar] stef19100:
Hello everybody,

I've tried with 2 differents RUU and I have the same problem; it stuck at 5% and I have a windows with IU534 error "flash write error happen".

I've also extracted the content of the RUU and launched the Rom update utilty, same way...

My phone's always starting on the white screen (radio-16.23.02.09_2).

Any ideas ??

I think it's a bootloader blocking but I've not enough knoledge to unblock it.

PS : sorry for my bad english, I'm french ;)
[HTC Radar] masi0:
As I have warned before - your phone is bricked and as far as there weill be decent developers for Radar you cannot do anything but send phone to be repaired.

The bad is that I am waiting from 14th od November and no results (they have ordered motherboard from the supplier)
[HTC Radar] stef19100:
Thanks for your answer masi0, I hope you'll receive your phone soon !

Looks like it's an Orange problem (mine is Orange France), I'd like to know if any other members have succeeded in updating their phones !
[HTC Radar] masi0:
I don't think it's carrier problem - I think we are upgrading phones in a wrong way :)
[HTC Radar] GOD_0:
I've tried with many differents RUU and I have the same problem; it stuck at 5% and I have a windows with IU534 error "flash write error happen".

can anybody help? radar sim-free, not brand. It problem with phone - not with brand

....t-mobile unbranding without problem by goldcard....
[HTC Radar] Richard Fantom:
Wow, after a year of frustration whenever I have tried to unbrand my phone I have finally found the solution. I hope it helps others and of course it is a simple solution.

My mistake was that I made the goldcard and then copied the NBH file over to it (I'm sure that's what I did before with the Mozart and it worked). However, what worked for me was that first I formatted the MicroSD card (Fat32), then copied the NBH file over, renamed as OMEGIMG.NBH, then ran the GoldCard Tool as administrator. Once this was done, I put the phone into USB Host mode and connected the Y-cable. I left it alone for an hour whilst I did something else and returned to find the phone had been updated and debranded with the NBH file required.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brun0ww:
Hi guys,

Can someone tell some first impressions about in-call ear speaker volume in Galaxy Nexus?

I'm really looking forward to get rid of my Xperia X10 and take this new Galaxy Nexus. Extremely low in-call ear speaker volume during outside calls is a very disappointing issue in my Xperia X10.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] BadBoy1022:
HI Guys

I have Galaxy s2, and I managed to port a customized rom it. In that specific , I can record all conversation, made or receive without the use of speaker. It's recorded internally.

I got Galaxy ACE now as a spare, and was wondering if any of those ROM offers any recorded in the keypad option .

So, This is a modified version of Hyperion..

Will Definitely try and then Report :):):)
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
great! thanks for the support!

EDIT: Nolonger a modded version of hyperion. that was my 1st attempt at a rom which was called "saga eclipse" just so people don't get confused. Shadow Hawk is built from the latest base, not Hyperion.

thanks
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
Sorry but after reading first post I didn't get what you changed to original Hyperion... :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
The things i have changed so far are:

Default govenor changed to virtuous for wake and conservative for sleep

default wake-max freq set to 998400 mhz

added titanium backup

changed fonts to segio WP

I have removed A LOT of bloatware in this ROM! With the idea of this being a nice clean slate for people to flash, without the need to remove unwanted apps themselves.

and there will be more to follow. This is going to be worked on in my free time so V1.0 has been released today for people to try out. V1.1 is currently being worked on:D
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Bro, any screenshots? I was hoping to see what are the changes on the fonts.. what's the difference between the font that u are using and the one on stock. Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
Can you mention all the apps and widget that you have removed from this rom.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
there are too many to list, but mostly the htc things like htc hub, stocks, facebook, twitter.
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
New ROM coming soon;)
[HTC Desire S] Jahai:
Maybe you can add the dspmanager from cm7 to this Rom? That would be amazing! :)
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
afaik this need a kernel that supports it before it will work. Maybe i will look into this for a future release
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:

If you add RCtweaks, I will seriously consider moving to this ROM ;)

RCtweaks is something im looking into for the next version. along with a few other changes;)

Add beats audio to rom is not hard. I'll give you files u need..

Anyway good work bro..
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Way to go, proxuser. That's the spirit!! :)
[HTC Desire S] Eclipse_Droid:
Cheers proxuser. I'll see what I can do when I get some free time this weekend.
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
The original work on this is from Lyapota. Check his posts for patches, I know somewhere in the hyperion thread there's a zip containing the fixed patch for the desire S. Don't use the Desire HD original package, or you'll loose audio in outgoing calls.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sproxy:
The built in player shows the track name. However I only see the incoming phone no on the receiver.

The audio sounds better with Samsung player compared to third party ones. But the Samsung player disregards track numbers in metadata.

The battery life for the receiver is good but if you don't already have it and thinking to get one, consider the following drawbacks:

volume level control is terrible.

Call button is also not placed in a proper location so you press it easily by mistake.

Also audio quality is nothing to write home about.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticCat:
Got my note today, in my opinion mw600 works great with it.

Although I do agree.about the audio rocker for me the sound ha very good

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0Omer:
I think it's not the Galaxy Note but Android. As far as I know Android doesn't support AVRCP 1.3 (that's why you don't see caller ID, only number).

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SilviuMik:
Hello have a small questiom, how can i backup my stock current rom without any modifications ? In case of warranty or in case i don`t like a custom rom i would like to have a backup to flash back to my device . Can i do a backup or current 2.3.3 KP5 without any root access ? Or i need to get root, install cwm and backup, and in case something goes wrong ... reinstall that backup, delete cwm somehow and un-root the device

My device is Samsung Galaxy Gio btw
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Msiiek:
If u want go back, u can flash stock rom via odin. There are versions from 2.2.1 to 2.3.5 all by samsung.

Tapatalk :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Install Odin on your computer and CWM on the phone.

Make a Nandroid backup on the phone, but also dd the images as explained in some other threads (while still in CWM), so you can flash that through Odin if Nandroid bugs for some reason.

No need for root to do all the above. (CWM has root from the start, even if your ROM doesn't.)

It would be a good idea to check your CSC files for relocking before doing your backup and either fixing them or at least writing your code inside the battery cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Backup stock rom

You can use the program adb to:

(google some about how to use and install adb)

Sow commands from adb to backup the rom (system)

# cat /dev/block/stl12 > /sdcard/factoryfs.rfs

ore:

#dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.img (img should be rfs but did not try that output my self)

backup the recovery:

#dd if=/dev/bml9 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

backup boot image(kernel)

#dd if=/dev/bml8 of=/sdcard/boot.img (probably will have same size ash the recovery image)

You can do a nandroid backup for most easy use:D this app can backup/restore any nice rom that you tryed very fast. Very save program to use. It comes with ClockworkMod recovery.

Thanks, is a great list of apps.

One thing I would ask, is can apps be rated for how speedy or laggy they are on the wildfire.

For example GO SMS is lovely, particularly with its flip screens but I am using Pansi SMS and it is much faster, and has a less cramped text box.

A few apps the I really love that worked really well on the wildfire are :

Beyond podcast

Gtasks

Flext9 voice recognition software, there was the occasional glitch on WiFi, one time out of 10 that dictation would fail, fine on 3G . rocksolid since rooted.
