Hi,
I am looking for official Orange UK ROM. Can any body help finding it for me. Reason for finding is that device is locked with some company special program. If I flash it with some other flash, possibly it won't work because it is not Hard SPL phone.
I searched and found some thing about country and operator codes. I can modify the rom but what are the operator code for Orange UK. I appreciate your help.
hi
If its a rom for a himalaya you probobly not get the original orange rom any more. Or maybe you will just have to look hard.
I have a HD2 phone with these software specs out of the box:
Manila Version ( 2.5.192xxx ),
ROM Verion (1.43.405 xxx) WWE (70124)
Radio Ver ( 2.04 xxx)
I have been searching for a suitable ROM in htc official site to Upgrade my ROM, but no matter how much I tried, I only get this:
"This software is not suitable for your phone"
I checked my IMEI in https://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr and my phone turned out to be originated from Europe. But I get the same sentence when I tried Europe countries in htc official website.
Can someone kindly shed a light on this?
Thanks fellas
P.S
TBH, I don't see any similarity between my phone OS interface and that of people who have hd 2 Manila version ( from youtube ). Isn't it strange?
probably a branded device sir

You can use the GoldCard technique. (I know it works, but don't have experience with it)
Wow very original (initial ROM)....
Looks like you have an UK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9105826&postcount=1. So you could try the UK HTC Site.
Have you checked if you have an Operator logo at startup? If so, go to the Operators website, maybe the posted the ROM over there.
You must also check your SPL at bootup and report it over here.
HSPL your HD2 then it doesn't matter WHERE your phone is from. As long as its not a t-mobile phone which has more RAM/ROM than normal you can flash any HD2 rom you want...

What do you mean by HPSL? It won't it void my warranty, will it?

Sorry for SPL you have to enter BootLoader (press and hold volume-down when booting the device), but don't bother, cause if I read one of your prev posts, you don't have HSLP installed.
You could also contact HTC Support, maybe they can help you finding your upgrade. Cause you have an ancient ROM on your HD2. I believe for all HD2 devices (even branded) there has to be at least an 1.66... or 1.72... ROM available.
Btw. You don't have an Operator logo somewhere at startup, it's all HTC logo's???

I forgot to mention that I finally found a ROM upgrade for my phone from htc TAIWAN website, downloaded and installed it. Apparently my phone origin is Taiwan. And now the language of my phone became Taiwanese. The question is that how my TAIWANESE phone had English language on it if it was not HSPL'ed? ( Actually I didn't check the Bootloader BEFORE upgrading my phone, but I believe if my phone had been HSPL'ed, the word HSPL would be seen in bootloader even AFTER Rom upgrading, right?
Is it possible that a Taiwanese phone has English language on it out of factory?

No, it's all HTC.
Read ALL the previous replies. Told OPTUS that I could not get the Win6.5 ROM upgrade from HTC, launched a week ago. They told me to give them the IMEI (above the serial number).
The operator then told me that I needed to download from the South African HTC site, since that's where my ex-Telstra phone came from. But that site seems off-line at this moment.

perhaps you could look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283 and take a look at the 1.66 roms, they are available for (almost) all EU/ASIA official HTC devices.
or take a look here

see prev post... maybe you need the wwe south-east asia rom.
Hi,
I purchased an HTC Mozart in a store in Israel and I got a T-Mobile branded phone with only English and German keyboard.
I know there is no official Hebrew keyboard but I don't want the T-Mobile ROM, I would like to have an unbranded ROM so I will get updates from Microsoft and won't be tied to T-Mobile updates.
I'm a noobe in this whole area of ROM and flashing, and I need help understanding the basics.
I saw the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898900 which listed a lot of unbranded ROMs for Mozart phone.
Some questions:
1. How do I find out what is my phone's CID?
2. What will an unbranded ROM allow me to do? Will I get updated directly from Microsoft without T-Mobile?
3. I suppose I can wait until the Hebrew language is official supported and only then get a ROM with the Hebrew language. Is it a right assumption or will our ROMs get the aditional languages as well?
I have this firmware and radio versions:
Firmware: 2250.09.12505.111 (--> 1.25.111.05)
Radio: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Thanks,
Raanan
I swear there was a thread by ansar who describied a way to unbrand Mozart without all this Gold Card (and especially Y-cable) hassle. I can't find it for some reason anymore.
With regard to your question 2, I suspect you'll get two things after unbranding - you'll get updates faster, and you will be able to flash ROMs that support your language when it's added. You won't see Hebrew keyboard on your T-Mo De phone till cows come home.
Now if only I could find that thread...
I think you mean this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898900
I currently have RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but since I have a lot of problems with my Leo with that ROM (e.g. sometimes it won't charge at all until I soft-reset it, some notifications like for example PockeTwit are not working, WiFi doesn't work probably most of the times even when I'm just a few foot steps away from the access point I'm connecting to, the phone suddenly doesn't recognize the MicroSD card anymore after a Soft-Reset) I wonder if my phone's hardware is actually broken or if it might be just a problem with the ROM.
Based on my experiences with other HTC phones I previously had (Touch 2, Touch Diamond 2) I think that with HTC the operator branded ROMs are better optimized and tested when it comes to stability and performances than the generic unbranded (retail) ones.
So now I'm looking for an operator branded WWE ROM for my European 512Leo. I would go with the latest O2 ROM but unfortunately that is for the UK and so it has that stupid EU imposed volume capp and I really don't want that. Of course the T-Mobile US ROM won't work on my 512Leo so the only alternative I could think about is the Telstra Australia ROM but unfortunately that is pretty old
So does anybody know any other official branded Non-EU WWE stock ROMs I could try or is that Telstra one really the only one for my "special needs"
Thanks

I figured out that "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship.exe" works on my EU Leo perfectly (when flashed with Gold Card) - so no need to find a different ROM anymore
thx
karlmueller
Also, no need for goldcard, hspl will do that for you no problem.
Hello,
I'm quite new with android devices and have read several topics here, but still have some questions. So I do apologize if it's answered or explained already somewhere, but I haven't found it.
Let me first explain what my assumption was and what are now.
1. HTC kernel/update - So HTC is getting generic android from google and make and add their modifications.
- Maybe there are some difference in the ROMs and/or devises for different regions like Europe, Asia, America ... , but not sure if it's correct and why it is needed at all, unless it is something specific with network carriers
- I do not understand the reason to have a different ROM or OAU per network carrier unless that the update should be approved by the carrier /why needed/. If so, what about the countries and carriers not available on htcdev site, that means such operators and countries use generic regional like WWE Eastern Europe or EU, but who is approving them in that case
- currently there are quite big difference to updates and versions available for different regions and carrier operators
2. Is there any way to get stock/original ROMs
So till recently I believed there is a generic ROM and depending on your home network/operator/carrier you got OAU or not, but it turned out that is completely wrong. It seems the phone is preloaded with a specific ROM made for specific operator or more generic one like EU, and depending on those ROM you have particular update or not.
- still not sure what the reason for this is
3. What is the meaning of CID on particular ROM, isn't it just a simple configuration in a configuration file into ROM.
I thought if you have stock ROM with different CID inside than current one, you should be able to flash the phone with it and it should work. Possible issues should be only with network carrier , but all the rest should work, isn't that correct.
4. If you flash you phone would your IMEI and/or CID change or the CID is hw locked and not into ROM
5. Is there any way to change the CID
6. I've read a lot in the forum in regards to ROMs, but still not clear
- is there any really original stock ROMs
- why people having issues with stock ROM depending on their current CID, and the ROM is working with some and doesn't with others
- what is the problem with OAU after change of the ROM with stock one
7. Is it possible to make a image of my phones without rooting them
8. What's the problem to get the ROM from one phone and put it in another as both are original coming from HTC with devices
I do not want to root the device or put custom ROM for now, but interested in having original HTC ROM with different CID than the current one, and trying to understand the setup and how it is working and how can it be done.
I own two Desire X which happened to be with different ROMs and CIDs, one Orange CH, the other T-Mobile PL, so there are some difference, so I would prefer to have them both identical may be EU or Eastern Europe ROMs inside and have the corresponding OAU working .
appreciate you help.
