Just wondering if anyone has successfully created a gold card for their flyer and flashed a ROM onto it that was not of the origional ROM region ....
If so what is the process for the flyer?
Thanks
Kris
also interested in this - just bought one in malaysia - would prefer to use the WWE rom - to get Australian Language/regional settings.
Tried it myself... Doesn't work.. will get another card sometime and try again
Kris
Didn't work on the 2nd card I tried... Just sat at sending Rom to device...
Has anyone got this working? I am desprate...
Thanks
Kris

I am currently living in Japan and have just picked up a new HT1100 (Touch Dual) on the Docomo network.
This is my first smartphone/PDA and I am very happy with it except for the language problem.
The entire system is in Japanese and I would like to change it to English. I have tried asking Docomo who didn't have a clue what to do and it seems that the original English software has been completely removed and replaced with an all-Japanese ROM.
I have never changed the ROM on a smartphone before but I am willing to give it a go but I have a few questions which I can't find answers to by searching -
1, Would it be better for me to try and find an English language pack (if one exists)?
2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me?
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on?
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm a bit of a newbie at this and don't want to ruin a brand new phone that I am otherwise so happy with!
Read the Sticked Thread about HardSPL and make all Steps!!!
Read 10 Pages of the Thread befor you try this. Then you know all errors you can have and it prevent use for the same questions they all ready posted hehehe
After that ... looks around for a Favorit Rom and try it! If you have a Problem ... read the first 10 Pages of the Thread!

neon 100
japanese ht1100 code name is neon 100 not niki,
so do not flash niki radio or rom to ht1100(neon 100).
Thanks for the replies!
I will certainly read each step carefully before I flash the phone with new ROM.
But before I do I just want to check one thing to be completely clear - are you saying that after I put on this new homebrew ROM I will DEFINITELY be able to use my Docomo sim card in it without any problems?
Also, what settings would I need to enter on the new phone to use it properly? ie, when I flashed normal phones in the past I needed to re-enter all the MMS/internet settings. Is it the same with these smartphones or are there any other settings I will need to get?

2, If I do have to change the ROM completely then which would be the best one for me? I think your device is a Neon, if i'm correct that i think i'm the only one cooking Neon Roms .
3, If everything gets screwed up then what are my chances of unbricking it and putting the original Japanese software back on? Dump your original Rom before doing anything that way you can always manage to flash it back.
4, If everything goes to plan and I change the software to a hacked version can I still use my Docomo sim card in it? Or is there some kind of security check between the sim card and the phone that means the card will only work with the Docomo ROM? Is your phone Network locked? Have you tried a sim card from another Network?

hi,I have same handset with you , and have flashed english rom , if you want to flash any english rom,I think you will cannt use docomo network mms, hi-speed data plan etc.
and cannt accesse internet. so, must dump docomo original rom before flash other english rom. good luck.
I don't know if my phone is network locked as I have not tried another sim yet but I wouldn't be surprised if it it.
Actually, after mailing HTC Japan they have pointed me in the direction of an English language pack sold by another company. I have to wait another 24 hours before I can use it but it looks promising - http://www.cfcompany.co.jp/product/mobem/mobem.html
If Aten is right then flashing the phone will be no use to me if the Docomo sim card doesn't work.
I will wait and try this language pack to see how that works out. Maybe after that I will consider flashing the ROM.

The MMS and Connection settings are store either in *.Rgu files or *.Xml files on the Rom, not sure which ones. I had the same issue with my Telstra branded Rom, the network settings were built in so i couldn't connect to any other network. If you dump your rom and upload it up i can have a look and extract these settings for you.
Cheers
Well that language pack software arrived last night and I installed it without any problems.
It all seems pretty good. Not everything is translated but its enough to make the phone useable for me.
The only major issue I have is that it seems incompatible with the whole Touchflo interface. The touchflo will not open my videos or, photos or music files any more. I cannot use the Touchflo shortcuts and it seems I am also unable to set an MP3 as my ringtone/alarm etc.
Is there something I could change to make this work?
I am busy with work for the next few days but will see if I can upload this ROM on the weekend.
Hello. So i flashed asus P526 (from germany unlocked) to spr customized rom 2.4 with english windows mobile 6.1, the phone worked fine with my sim card, but im sold him on ebay, and the buyer is saying that his sim card dont work. Is that possible?
If yes i can ask him more details about that, or even ask him to register on this forum to continue the thread. Thanks in advance
Hi there!
After reading some of ansar posts about the Mozart ROM's i didn't get what the gold card is for!
I think it's used so we can flash other ROM's to Mozart, but i still didn't understand if we need a gold card to unbrand an HTC Mozart without a gold card?
Also, imagine that i have a T-Mobile device from Germany, to flash the branded ROM's i need the gold card?
In order to flash a Mozart from T-Mobile Germany and unbrand it to a generic ROM i need a gold card?
Can i create a gold card or buy a gold card? And how / where?
Thanks!
Hello,
The goldcard is use to flash the most htc device us sdcard service mode ie HTC desire and most android device, HD2 etc.
This a way for flash WMP7 mobile device roms.
This methode is use if you have no other solution to flash unbranded roms for example no Ansar roms for your operator.

Ok, I'm still working on this..
I need to go back to the gingerbread rom from what I understand. But to do that I need to downgrade with URR. Anyone know where I can find this one?:
Ruu Flyer Htc Asia Hk 2 27 708 1 Radio 20 3504 30 089bu 3809 07 04 06 M Release 204709 Signed
Thanks
After hours of searching i've managed to find and download the file
Problem now is I don't know what to do with it :S can't find a guide that goes into enough detail, please help.
thanks
You won't be able to run that RUU, since its older than the firmware version on your Flyer.
I think you need to follow this guide to downgrade:

Keep in mind that using HTC Unlock will void your warranty. But I don't think there is any other way.

That's not very helpful. What was the error, what RUU did you use, what is the CID of your device?
