Hi Guys,
I have been reading this forum now for a couple of days and I am very impressed with the amount of knowledge sharing going on here!
I am considering purchasing an XDA from the UK over ebay but I have a few questions,
If these much of a difference, performance wise between the 32 and 64MB models?
If a phone is locked to O2 in the UK can it be used on O2 in Ireland?
To unlock the phone I would need to install the special edition ROM published here, right? Is this suitable for the 32MB model? Is it hard to do?
Thanks for any help,
Adrian.

Yes: When I last looked, O2 locked to all of their providers in Europe.

This would be one way, yes. You could also get a serial cable and our program 'The Manipulator', or install the 3.17.03 ROM from Jeff's kitchen and make sure you select XDAunlock. After unlocking, you can switch to any ROM you like...
Great
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.
which xdaII rom upgrade is recommended for use with Tmo USA? and where can I get it?
My XDA is using the O2 rom 1.60wwe
Thanks
I would sugest my upgrade.
There are users in usa that claimed to have used my previous upgrade with success!

Also plz look at the thread by dcs to avoid any country-id errors (which you might encounter since you have currently an O2 rom active)
I don't understand how the Tmo Netherland applets would be usefule for a T-Mobile USA user.
Me neither, but it seems to work!
Plus: You het (the possibility) of the T-Mobile looks
Where can I get idiot instructions how to do it. I do have Ruu...edsubsoft....exe
Hi anyone try to unlock x01ht by softbank yet?
is the www.imei-check.co.uk tool works?
Hello jxun,
This tools will not work , and can't perchased.
I'm requested to 'IMEI-CHECK Team' of this things.
The answer is follow.
> At beging of next week the unlocker will be ready
> for Japan version too.
> Please check our site again Monday or Tuesday.

> IMEI-CHECK Team
Wait a moments
I see,would looking forward for that.
My x01ht will arrive by next weeek too
Hi!
can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked? Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?

>can I buy the x01ht sim free and unlocked?
It is solded SIM-locked. There is no way to unlock it yet. You cannot change the ROM, either, yet.
>Or is it only on Contract from SoftBank?
Yes, it is only available with a contract with SB.
The price I paid for my x01ht was about US$170 under a contract with which you have to keep using the device with SB for 26 months. There is no official SIM-lock option no matter how long you use your device or phone, which is typical and common in Japan.
As long as you use it in Japan, it's a f**king great deal!!
qtotter,
thanks for your reply, I thought as much.....
I travel to Japan every year and stay for 14-20 days.
I guess I should just get a Vodafone UK version and put Japanese input on it..
Not sure just how simple that is though...
Ofiaich
Ofiaich,
Unless you use X01HT in Japan, it would be a useless device elsewhere. Anyway, if you read Japanese, visit this site for guidance to install Japanese fonts and the input method.

It is not really difficult if you understand the steps in a right order. You will need ATOK for PocketPC (which you can buy online at http://www.justsystem.co.jp/atok/atok_ppc/)
The key point is if you install ATOK on WM5.0, it tries to become the default SIP which makes the device hung up. This also happens when you change ATOK setting in Control Pannel. "Def Sip Changer" is a useful tool that detects and prevent ATOK from becoming the default SIP. http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000110
There is another option. It seems like the ROM of Docomo's HTC z has been posted somewhere on the net (Unfortunately, not here... why?) If the bootloader of the Vodafone Hermes is older, you can burn this ROM to make it a Japanese device.
Good luck!

Bootloader on SoftBank X01HT is 1.06, if the Docomo hTc Z rom has been released, then it will not match the CID on Softbank's device and he'll not be able to flash it
BTW, where is the Docomo hTc Z rom? do you have a link for it?
Hi pof,
I have not downloaded the ROM myself yet, but the link to the ROM is as follows.
http://www.live-share.com/files/54847/Herm_China.rar.html
I was not suggesting ofiaich try Docomo ROM on X01HT, which does not make any sense. I meant he could try the Docomo ROM on a UK Vodafone (not SB) Hermes since he was thinking about UK VF although I am not sure about the bootloader version of the UK VF unit.
Lol, downloading now... if it's an hermes rom we don't have then I'll put it on the ftp / wiki
Thanks for the link!

I'd need some help now - I have successfull updated the device to use the HER_DopodAsia_1237074_1060010_WWE_SHIP ROM but now I am stuck with missing connection settings. Dows anybody have the connection settings to connect to SoftBank - nay tip highly aprreciated....!

Thanks a million - but I still cannot connect:

Make sure you've chosen 3G connection when you created a new modem connection.
Did that - maybe I need to try another ROM....
I'm new to the TYTN and I have a few questions.
Just to note, my device is by Orange-Israel. It has the QTEK_001 CID.
1. If I want only to sim-unlock the device (without installing HardSPL on it or changing anything that will void the warranty, how do I do that?
2. Where can I find the exact change log for any ROM version? I mean, I'd like to know what each version gives my BEFORE I upgrade to it.
3. As my CID is QTEK_001, I understand that I can install all of the HTC WWE versions. why can I find any upgrades on HTC website?
4. If all I want is to install the official HTC versions, why do I need to install the SSPL/HARDSPL (I dont want to install, yet, any cooked/baked ROMs)?
Thanks
Please people, help me out:
How do I unlock the phone without installaing any hacked SPLs?
and where do I get the OFFICIAL HTC updates?

Call your service provider and tell them you need to unlock your phone. Then you won't effect your warranty.
You can't be serious about where to d/l official updates. :-/
From the Official Website!
Also the link below helps me to find answers to a lot lf my questions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
Maybe there isn't any official updates yet for Orange-Israel.
I can't help you look right now because I only have my 8525 right now. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm in front of a desktop, I'll see if I can find something.
Heya
Please understand this forum is NOT official support
(however the quality here is probably better )
http://www.orange.co.il/ (your provider)
and
http://www.mea.htc.com/
are probably the best places to ask for rom upgrades.
Good luck

Thanks for your answer.
First, Orange Israel WONT unlock my phone till I finish paying for it (which is 3 more years to go).
Also, they DONT have any updates availble at the moment. But their version is VERY old....
On the HTC website I cant find the ROM updates anywhere.... please send me a link to the ROM updates on HTC website.
Also, do you know where can I get more details about what changed in each version?
Please, if you could please be so kind to read:

Just checked the HTC website and I've just discovered a new ROM for T-Mobile(uk?) users was uploaded yesterday
Version 1.33.110.2
Luckily for me I'm a t-mobile user, but I havnt noticed anyone talking about a 1.30+ rom yet
EDIT: AS somebody already asked and DID NOT READ TWO POSTS BELOW i'm quoting myself here:
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ALSO note that this is for T-Mobile UK branded Mega's ONLY
(you could try using it, but dont complain when your GPRS/mms/etc settings are preconfigured for T-mobile!!)
Thanks for this.. looks like the crappy T Mobile release is the best we can hope for. At least YouTube gets its own application, so I don't get the "Finding Network..." error when loading videos from IE
yeah it looks alot better than the last one i downloaded.
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
T Mobile must have paid millions for HTC to lock the Mega with them, this is a really nice phone, especially if you don't want to carry a laptop sized thing (HD2) with you
Why can't they make a single ROM with no branding on it (or at least don't block changing the ROM)
... If anything, seeing the bloody T Mobile thing on start up makes me less likely to switch to them, and go to Virgin or stay with O2.
Thanx guys, its something until we get cooked roms, wow
Erm, nid help! why i cant download it? they ask me for S/N and i typed in but they say this software is not suitable for you device. my phone is HTC Touch2 T3333
Is it a T-Mobile one? Or not? The phone must be a T-Mobile UK one, you must select United Kingdom in their site and voila.
same here...
I'm not from UK but I'm sure it will work in my device. Can someone upload it please?
Lot of thanks.....
I hope the HTc don´t forget the rest of us....

It is, but only for UK T-Mobile branded phones. Its not for every HTC Mega.
Brands?
I have no Idea about the other brands... My phone was originally in Italian then I was able to Flash it with an WWE Rom.. I don't think that I won't be able to reflash it with the latest rom version released by the other providers...

Then my friend you have not branded mobile phone. That means you must put only WWE updates, this update is only for T-Mobile Phones from UK, when you swich on/off the phone you see T-Mobile, now did you get that this is not for you, wait for the 1.33 WWE version.
