Yes..pls don't forget TMOBUS debrand
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Quick question, does this procedure change the vendor ID?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ThePhoenixUK:
No the vendor ID is hardcoded, to do that we would need a proper HardSPL
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
Damn. Do you know how HTC sets it? I mean there's gotta be a way how they do it. I know it's got nothing to do with the SPL, since you can flash an SPL with a different vendor ID using the USB On-the-Go method (internal SD card flashing does NOT work). Just after you've done that you still can't use the conventional method via Serial/USB to flash a ROM with a vendor ID different from the one that came with the device.

Does HTC do that via the serial debugger interface?

Hi ansar

Are you working on RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09 .16_22.33a.50.10_Signed for o2-uk?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ThePhoenixUK:
Dunno, there has to be a way to elevate the HD7's CID to SuperCID eventually as that's how the goldcard works, that's how I flash mine after I figured everything out, just dump the rom on my goldcard memory card and then jobs done.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:

Hi

where do you see these numbers :

?

Regards ..
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

When downloading any of the ROMs, open the RUU_signed.nbh file

with a hex editor and at the hex address 0x200 downward you find them.

If you do not know your ROM version then in your device:

Settings>about you can see the firmware and software versions.

When you buy the device you know the nework carrier Vodafone, TMOUS etc.

In case the above are not enough post the details of your about screen here.

I'm thinking about a universal rom like wp7 energyrom
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi all,

I successfully changed even the SPL and it works.

In the up to now WP7 unbranding ROMs it was changed the Radio, the XIP, the OS and BLDR etc.

So we can call it debranding, or not?

I can not estimate yet the implications on future developments but fore sure only the vendor ID checking is left.

Regarding the new ROMs that are coming it is like to have a brand new device.

All software is passing from one vendor device to another.

Regards, ansar.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] saud__19:
Dear ansar i have a stupid question, lets say that you released the section G, which is for T-mobile usa and i already installed another rom lets say HTC Europe, does that means whenever htc released a rom in the future which supports arabic language for example i just have to download it and flash my t-mobile device? or do i have to wait for another unbranded rom released by you?

thanks for your help...
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

I stated that cid check is not yet possible to be avoided.

If a hard spl will not be ready up to the issue of a rom supporting arabic language, yes.

Regards, ansar.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Snipper-Ice:
I've done 2 flashes .. but never made a dump .. and so i never saw what ROM it was ...

I can't post img ..(not enought post ......)

It's de "Numéro de version du matériel" ? me it display "0002"

Other question do you know this ROM (displayed on screen on friend's HD7) :

version du microprogramme : 2250.09.12302.401 (=> ROM ?)

Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

SPL 1.23.2250

Is there somewhere to found ROM Dump ?

Sorry for english ... and maybe stupid question ... but
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

The rom version is derived from firmware 1.23.401.02 (shift .12302.401).

and the Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

So it is a rom 1.23.401.02_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

There is no existing rom from any operator with that version.

Regards, ansar.

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] djcedric:
im sorry for the same question again,with my original rom now :

OS version 7.0.7004.0

Firmware Revision Number 2250.09.12302.401

Hardware Revision Number 0002

Radio Software Version 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Radio Hardware Version A.102.0.D4

Bootloader Version 1.23.2250.0(112138)

Chip SOC version 2.2.5.0

i think it is a French Bouygues Telecom HD7,i have buy it in france.

if i want to change the rom with new radio,is there any rom compatible for me today with another radio and french language?

Thanks in adavance.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Your device has been flashed with this version:

1.23.401.02_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

that means you have the HTC_Europe version so you can debrand to almost any other operator.

You will come back to the newer version:

HTC_Europe_RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar

or any other HTC_Europe to play with!!

For test just try to flash the latest above (HTC_Europe_RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar)

Do not have fear, if a ROM is not compatible then:

1. If it is from another brand i.e. Mozart flash will stack at 0%.

2. If it is from the same brand but a different operator it will return the Vender ID ERROR.

In any case nothing will be flashed in your device.

Regards, ansar.

Hi ansar, can you explain/help me?

what is unbranding? what benefit does it have?

I have HD7

OS version: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.12302.401

Hardware revision number: 0002

Radio software version: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 1.23.2250.0(112138)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

Can I update to newer windows version or newer radio? what version is latest/newest? what are the benefits of upgrading & unbranding?

Thx alot.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi.

You have the HTC_Europe version like djcedric, see posts #131 and #132, enjoy all roms.

Regards, ansar.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
hey, you say the latest is (HTC_Europe_RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Ra dio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar). But i also see a version 1.61. I suppose 1.61 is newer. But if I upgrade to the 1.61 version I would brand my device to O2 DE? It's O2_DE, RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.61.207.01_Radio_5.52.09. 16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar. You write "... This version 1.61.207.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10 is the latest known, now for European too!!" But it's in the category to brand for O2 DE. You don't have the 1.61 version but HTC_Europe_RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe. Just like you have it for version 1.60?? I want to keep my device HTC Europe and not brand it to any other operator. What is the latest i can update to that is for HTC Europe_HTC Europe.

Thx man.

Only thing I ask, is if you are not going to be able to end debranding, kindly provide the information to allow somebody else to go on.

Thank you for your great effort, it is really appreciated also if it is not (yet) for my device.

Hey Ansar,

Wondering if you have had a chance to look at the O2 UK to HTC Europe 95% problem yet and if there is anything we can do to assist.

Can't seem to install the custom ROM to debrand the O2 UK version of the HD7

Hi, wondered if anyone can help me flash my uk network locked o2 HD7.

I've been scrolling through all these messages to see how to do it but keep getting an error.

I tried flashing the custom rom, I currently have installed SPL-1.19.2250.0 and would like to remove the O2.

I noticed that this firmware seems to be a higher version than any listed here, when i attempt to flash via RRU utility I always get an error 266 UPDATE ERROR, cannot get a response from your PDA phone.

any suggestions?

cheers

Hopping to see this solved too.

Want to change to European Rom :)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] AzmanIshak:
Hi Ansar,

Just a question, can I use this ROM for Malaysia?

Like to try.

Thanks for help!
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] AzmanIshak:
Hi Ansar,

Sorry for asking again.

My device is:-

OS Version: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware Version No: 2250.09.12301.707

Hardware Version: 0002

Radio Software: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader Version: 1.23.2250.0(111747)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

is there any compatible ROM for me (Malaysia)

because past few week, I've try use some USBTestTOOL.xap (if i not mistaken)

then I've accidentally switch my deviced from ZUNE to DIAG mode using the apps. Now my devices cant be detected by ZUNE software in PC. Luckly... still can get connected with your flash TOOL and in the three color mode display USB. Hope there'll be a Custom ROM for me, so that I can turn my devices back to normal.

Thanks again and hope to get a good news from you soon. :D
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] AzmanIshak:
ok ok... after several reading all threaded by ansar.

finnaly I've success FLASH my HTC HD7 for Malaysian used.

I would like to say thanks to Ansar for his great work.

So whomever from Malaysia, you can use this ROM:-

RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.23.707.01_Radio_5. 51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U_Signed_by_ansar

But please make sure that your Firmware is same with me.

Please have a look at my device info above. If you're same with me,

so you can use the ROM.

Note: After flashing... I realive that the phone faster than before. the scrolling and escaping effect is much better. no more longger waiting for market place browsing.

I don't know what Ansar already done to the ROM, but serriously... I'll say BRAVO to him. Nice jom Ansar.

i nned to flash a rom with spanish, i have t-mobile hd7 can some one help me with that thanks.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] MarioN70:
Dear Ansar,

Thanks for sharing with the community your custom ROMs, I have a phone similar to AzmanIshak, I have a HTC HD7 T9292 and phone information is:

OS Version: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware revision number: 2250.09.12302.707

Hardware revision number: 0002

Radio software version: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader version: 1.23.2250.0(112138)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

I bought this phone from Hong Kong, unlock and unbranded and only have installed the English language, which is why I would like to install one of your custom ROMs to change language to Spanish (Europe).

I tested with several of your ROMs but always get the message: ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID

I greatly appreciate you providing information on how I should do to achieve my purpose.

How to read your frameware and find Ansar's ROM

hi there,

base on ansar's wrote before.. what i've seen that your frameware is not same as the ROM that I'm using.

how to read:-

here is your firmware:- 2250.09.12302.707

so you need to find this ROM:- 1.23.707.02 Radio 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

hope this can help you to find the correct rom for your region.

Regards.

Azman Ishak.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] MarioN70:
Thanks for your answer AzmanIshak, I'll keep in mind also wait for a specific ROM for my HD7 by Ansar.

I hope I can prepare for my type of phone, because I searched as you recommend and apparently does not exist.

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] tai4de2:
This kinda makes sense, since those are the 3 band configurations.

Europe is 900/2100

TMOUS is AWS/900/2100

Telstra is 850/2100 (or maybe 850/900/2100?)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
You do realize that all the HD7 phones have the same Qualcomm GSM radio chip inside, right?

It works with 850/900/1800/1900 GSM bands and the 2100 UMTS/HSPA band, it's all really a radio software thing at this point as to which of the bands are enabled (pick two or three of the five).
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] tai4de2:
Um, yeah, but there are different bands enabled in different markets, hence it makes sense that there are different model numbers for those.

on second try it worked jus fine all happy again just want you to thank you for all your work cant offer much but would just like to say all your work is greatly appreciated thank you :)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] djcedric:
is this rom updated with new stuff?

RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.61.207.01_Radio_5.52.09. 16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar

what's changed into this one please?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dorianmuthig:
You've got a new bootloader version number, I'm not aware of functional change.

You've got new sound calibrations and different loudness levels in speaker mode.

There are new display color calibration settings.

The camera driver no longer allows adding the "Hello from Seattle" text string to the EXIF tag field for Author.

The HTC Exclusive preinstalled apps have been updated.

There's newer radio software for more sensitive control and broadcast mode switching (GPRS/(2G/3G)/HSPA).

The wireless adapter driver has been updated/changed in an attempt to make it more reliable on some network infrastructures.

Custom radio controls and race condition handling for tower with different capabilities has been added.

There are four new touch rom updates for better capacitive responsiveness, touch area expansion, exposable touch points and touch button control (the three at the bottom).

I'm not sure I found or properly recalled everything but I think that's it for RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE, NBH SHA1: a47c9cc70d4a1bb4bfcfe60498bb9890f58cbab1

There is no Europe region ROM with the version numbers you listed. The version number string is valid for a custom branded ROM for Telefonica, O2 Germany which has the following differences:

The default color has been changed and renamed.

Support for third-party resale mobile provider name strings has been removed.

Custom provider applications have been added, some HTC Exclusive apps have been removed.

The start screen has been arranged differently.

The available languages have been removed and replaced with British English, German and Spanish.

CID has changed from HTC__102 to O2___102; PID has changed from PD2910000 to PD2911000; version number has been incremented

I believe that's all.

Asia -> europe?

Dear Ansar,

sorry, would we see an ASIA to Europe unbranding? I brought my phone in HK and would love to have european keyboards in it... Sincerly I cannot see the meaning of changing it from ASIA WWE to ASIA SEA: wouldn't it be better to change it to EUROPE? Also to use it to move to any other operator from Europe rom, now that this is complete? Maybe I miss something?

thanx for your great effort, anyway. :)
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] neuropass:
Stupid question.

Will the un-branding procedure work for the htc surround?
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Bef:
I asked it because if you unbrand, then you have a phone claiming it has a corrupted image, and only image you can flash on are TMOUS (USA, with different phone frequencies, I suppose) or ASIA South Est, that DOES have only english keyboard / dictionaries on it. No way to flash with other roms that the ones provided. I am quite sure there is a reason to let us chose among these three roms, but supposed the target was to move from any rom to any other, and expecially to the ones with more languages on.

Thank you for your kind answer, my dear, as it is much appreciated as an expression of your intelligence and tollerance.

Kindly would you mind not to go off topic? May I suggest to post you intelligent question on the intelligent forum to post it, that IMHO is HTC Surround one?

Thank you, best regards.

[Fascinate General] zoro23:
Hello,

I am having issue updating from firmware 2.1 to 2.2 through official KIES.

I updated Kies to the latest version and when i plug my phone to my pc, and press update, it shows the msg. "this version cannot be updated" msg.

I did some research, but could not found the solution so here i am asking for your help in anyway.

the phone is - SGH - T959D

PDA - T959TLJJ2

PHONE - T959TLJJ2

ccs - T959TLJJ2

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] Protonus:
Assuming you have one, you should edit your thread title, to indicate you have a TELUS Fascinate, which is very different than the VERIZON Fascinate (which is SCH-I500) - the TELUS one is GSM, ours (Verizon) is CDMA. I would put "[TELUS]" at the start of your thread title.

Most people here have a VERIZON Fascinate - and there is no 2.2 update available for it yet. Why Telus decided to call their phone the Fascinate is beyond me, considering it's a different model # and a different radio!
