I want to buy a WP7 device and I heard about HTC devices which are made in china.
I heard that you can't hard SPL chinese devices easily.
Is it right? How do I find out the country of a device?
Hi,you can contact to htc's offical website
Is it right that you can't HSPL chinese HTC easily?
Hmm... There MAY be some HTC Mozart's which are not supported by RSPL/HSPL... Whether it is supported or not is based on the PID which the Chinese's ones could have an unsupported PID. (I think it's called the PID... Cannot remember).
Perhaps go and take a look in the RSPL/HSPL thread, if nothing then try asking in that thread. May get a bit more help there as it is topic related :-D

So thought I would show you all their answer
Dear Tom.Hazell,
Hi,
Unfortunately, at this time HTC and Microsoft do not have plans to offer Windows Phone 7 upgrades to any existing HTC phones. HTC is working closely with Microsoft to bring Windows Phone 7 to market later this year.
Thank you for contacting HTC
Best regards
Luke
HTC Europe
Want to see what others are saying? Have a question to ask other HTC fans?
This has been known for a long time now.
I keep seeing different answer all over the place so thought I would actually e-mail them.
Their official stance has always been "No" since that post came out. It's only a matter of time til it's ported over like Android was. If you search you can find the post where someone shows WP7 booting to an HD2 already. I think the guys name is Cotulla?
Im surprised you even got a reply.......
I want to ask if we can get wm7 in HD2
after week, month
Please can you answer me Is it possible to run wm7 in HD2
And when we can get it
and What is the difficulty of it
Thank you
It's possible, not difficult, and not available to the public yet .
There are 2 ROMs (as i saw) , the one Cotulla's working on, and the one appears on xda.cn
Only those two know when it'll be available ..
Thanks

How do you know it's possible and not difficult yet? I know cotulla got it to boot using magldr, but past that we don't know if its gonna be possible to actually run it unless we have Microsoft's test versions and jtag flash them to the hd2 ... and even then we don't know if it could be functional enough to make it worthwhile.

I'm pretty sure that what was seen in the Chinese video was one of the testbed hd2s that ms put wp7 on for development. It was definitely an earlier version of the os... and I'm sure it was either flashed on by ms or a jtag was used to flash one of the test versions of wp7 ... either way there is no wp7 that would be possible for one of us to flash.

Maybe the chinese one is a pretest device from microsoft. ok, but what do you tell about the one from cotulla ? you think MS gave the ROM image to cotulla so that he can flash it through Magldr ? or maybe he's fake too ?

It's been done, see Cotulla's twitter feed. Issue is, atm there's no 'live' function.

Did you bother reading my post above? I clearly stated that cotulla got it to boot with magldr, but until today, no one knew if it was operational at all. Now we know that he did get it operational except for the live stuff and app store.
I was just saying that it was not known at the time of the posts if it was gonna be possible to run. Maybe you believed it did, but that doesn't make it fact, and I think peoples questions should be answered with fact. Now that we know it can be somewhat ran with magldr, questions about whether wp7 can be run on hd2 can be answered with a yes.

who has new ?????
i m gonna buy a 7 Mozart soon but just got a news that the NoDo update decreases image quality to 16 bits of some HTC handsets.
so if anyone over here has experienced such strange problem of color banding plzz post it here because i want this phone so bad..
or you could just read the thread that already exists and is on the front page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924486
i've seen lots of people repost on here over the years - too lazy to use the search button etc - but not even reading the first half of the front page takes some beating.
sorry but didn't see it before..
i already read that whole thread after posting this one..
i usually do search but this time i was so confused that i directly went to create a new thread..
also would u suggest me to buy a Mozart or a HD7 as a better wp7 phone..??
No HTc update for now. Mozart Philippines.
I wonder what locations did HTC deliver the updates?
Sent from my T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
same here no update for HTC 7 Mozart
Location: Philippines
I'm plannig to get HTC Mozart, but there are some issues i have to reconsider before going for purchase and for that purpose i need some advice from its users..
1) first i would like to know which OS version of WP, Can be jailbreaked with chevron?
2) What are the pros and cons for jailbreaking
3) as em from Pakistan where Marketplace service is not available, so can i download free apps from marketplace by jailbreaking or it is possible without jailbreaking it?
4) And what other problems are you guys facing as a user :|
And yes i did some research on google, but still confuse on above few points..
Marketplace service is available in Pakistan, you can download any app from it.
why you want to jailbreak it? I assume you mean unlocking it so you can use other SIMs in it? unlocking can be done for £8-15/- over the internet and then phone is free to use in Pakistan with any SIM.
It's windows phone 7 OS on HTC Mozart and Microsoft is expected to rollout its major update in september.
No problem with it and in my opinion it's much much better then iPhone or Androids
1) to ``jailbreak`` you must either chevron unlock on a 7004 (original firmware in your mozart) or upgrade to the DFT mango rom(where you will no longer be able to download official xbox live games, only side load)
2)on my above post
3)you can without jailbreak as long as you create a Windows live id of a supported country and enter that to register your mozart.
4)its a brilliant device but i could use a better batter other than that I dont think I`ve had any other problem
hope i helped

Dont think we've got HSPL for Titan 2 yet. Hence no custom ROMs.
It took 8 months to get HSPL for Titan 1. Titan 2 has been out for just 2 months

Is there any way to reload a stock rom on it yet? Due to the fact that I have gotten a titan II stuck with demo mode on it with very limited use...Have been searching all over cant find any way to even put a stock version on it.
though there is no ROM for titan 2, is there any other way to load xap files other than paying for dev lock?
Nope

Student or Dev unlock are the only ways currently.
WindowsBreak project never reached that point with any other brands than Samsung.
thanks for you replies..!! I may need to wait for more time if not going for student or dev unlock!

No, the ROMs are signed. Basically this signature ensures that the ROM hasn't been altered. It's also not possible to re-create the signature, that's the point of it.
For this, you'd need a SPL (the part that installs the ROM and lies on the phone) with its signature checks disabled (also called Hard SPL, HSPL) and that hasn't been created so far. From what I know, DFT isn't working on this either.
Therefore, it's not possible to flash any non-manufacturer ROMs on the device. It might become possible in the future, but I have my doubts.

To be honest, it's rather unlikely that this would happen. Afaik, DFT were the only ones working on HSPLs and from what I read they haven't gathered enough money to purchase a Titan II. Furthermore, it took 8 months for the original Titan to see such an unlock - and the Titan II is likely better protected than the older model. From the 2nd gen phones, only the HTC Radar/Titan and the Lumia 710 have really been broken so far.
I wouldn't expect to see a HSPL for the Titan II anytime soon, if it is to come at all.
