I carrier unlocked my phone ATT Titan on Friday. I tested by installed a T-mobile SIM and i was receiving network signal on the T-mobile network. However, I'm not receiving the 8107 update. Is this not the same as having a debranded phone? I debranded my Samsung Focus and the update followed soon after. Can someone please shed some light on this for me? Thanks
its not the same as having a debranded phone ! .
the process of unlocking you mentioned just allows you to use other sim cards on an at&t device . but your device is still an at&t device .
the only true way of unbranding your phone now is to flash an unbranded rom . which i think its still not possible as of now .

DOH!!!!!!! That would explain why my Focus got the update. I flashed it witha custom ROM and then it got the update. So there aren't any custom HTC Titan ROMs?
I have a unlocked titan but i have not got the update yet. Anything i can do to get it?

Have you tried forcing the update through Zune? Search for an update then see if it finds one, If not search again and you will need to unplug your Modem/Lan cable as it searches again, Its a trial and error thing and getting the timing right is the difficult part, I managed to force the 8107 using this method, There should be some threads lurking around somewhere on XDA, Best of luck.
Also remember it is the network carriers who dish out the updates, Maybe if you put an ATT sim back in it may update easier then you can go back to T-mobile etc.
Do you need interop unlock for reg access?

No custom ROMs yet, Don't know about REG access but imagine you would need a dev unlocked device.

The 8107 update. I got it when i searched again. I didn´t have to do anything.
Use the cab sender. That's what i did and install the languages.
Don't even have to be unlocked to use it.

Hi!
I have a GSM Orange UK HTC Hero updated to the latest FW from Orange. I hear 2.1 release is quite close and HTC will be releasing the general version and after god know how long Orange should come up with a release as well.
I have now unlocked my phone to all networks, and currently using with 3 UK. I was wondering if I upgrade from my Orange ROM to the General one released by HTC, will it work?
Thanks in advance!
how did you unlock your phone pls. ???

Yes it will work fine,... Only issue I can see arising is that you will have to add your apn settings manually, but thats no deal-breaker. ....
.... Do it,.... You have nothing to lose.
use this to teach yourself how to do it,... [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 19/03]
... then pick a ROM from either here,... [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM Links,...
Or here,... Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
I have supplied the Modaco link as they have links to Pre-rooted standard ROMs which may be of use to you also.
I'v had my phone for about 6 weeks now,... Installed the latest Modaco ROM (MCR3.2) on the first day and haven't felt the need to change it yet,... I'm happy to wait for a 100% stable Android 2.1 release.... i.e... MCR4 BABY!!!!!... Cant wait!!!
The phone might not let you put anything other than an Orange Rom on your phone (if it was origionally an orange handset) you would have to use the "goldcard method" to enable you to trick the phone into installing other carriers or generic roms.
I suggest that you just root the device and use a rooted rom, will save all the hassle in trying to switch between official roms, and you don't have to lose any of the functionality.

I have a feeling that orange Rom wont let you use anything other than the orange Rom. I think if you root it you might be able to flash it to the general one, but then again if you have root might as well get a custom one instead.

followed the instructions on the unlockr..strangely enough it told me to downgrade using i think goldcard method but i just downloaded the old RUU from htc and htc sync it.(somehow it downgraded,dun ask me how)..the rest was to follow the steps
You don't need a gold card for the Orange handsets (well I didn't). Just install a new recovery then you can update with any zip file you like.
I would start over at Modaco as there is a thread called "Installing the patched recovery image on your device" in the sticky section.
Hello,
New to the forum, and this is probably a noob question, but after trawling through loads of threads on here my head is spinning and i need some advice!
I decided to upgrade the ROM of my hd2 today as i am having problems with sending sms. i bought the phone second hand recently. It is sim unlocked and there is no carrier branding on the phone that i have noticed.
I tried to get a ROM from the htc site and got the not suitable message, long story short after speaking to htc i found my phone is from the Czech republic.
Now i have had a look at the ROM flashing tutorial and i am confident with doing it, however i am unsure about whether or not i need to use the Goldcard method?
Can i download the latest ROM from the UK HTC site and put it on my phone just using the Hardspl method here?
Thanks for any help offered, and sorry if this has been asked before, but i couldnt find an answer to my question.

I know this question has been posted but I can't find the answer.
I live in Canada and am on the Bell network.
My phone died a horrible death, and I want to buy a HTC Titan on eBay.
All I can find that are unlocked are AT&T X310a. What I want to know is will they work for me on the Bell network
If not what should I be looking for.

Will it work? Yes
Will you get 3G (HSPA+)? Depends is Bell 3G on the same frequency (850 & 1900)?
I purchased an unlocked AT&T Titan and put it on the Telus network and it works great. Telus and Bell are 3G HSPA+ 850 1900.
Thanks very much for the responses!
The AT&T you bought was the model number X310a or X310e and does it have a AT&T stamped on it.
And did you just stick your sim card in it and away you went.
And thanks ahead of time for any help.
You may not be able to use MMS though as it will probably only have settings for at&t in the database, Even connection set-up may not work properly, I could not use an at&t branded Titan 2 for MMS in the UK, Everything else worked fine, The best option is to get an EU Titan X310e which wont have any branding etc.
I have at&t x310a.
It works on Bell network just fine.
Has anyone used x310e from Europe?
Will it work the same?

Off-topic:
MMS won't work even with the EU Titan on many networks.
In UK O2, Giffgaff and T-mob have frequent issues.
Three, Vodafone, Orange seems to be ok with MMS.
Probably same with US networks? Some will work and some wont.

Did you install a custom rom on yours, or running the AT&T stock.
Were you able to uninstall the AT&T apps?
I know this sounds stupid ... can you remove the AT&T logo on the front top of the screen.
Just asking :laugh:
AT&T Logo is beneath the glass- so unless you replace the lcd itself it won't be possible to remove the logo.
As for custom roms, I haven't unlocked the phone. I've ordered the Y-cable and patiently waiting for it to arrive...
I've read on xda that all you need to do to unlock and install a custom rom on the AT&T x310e or x310a is to install HSPL then you can just install the custom rom.
Have anybody done on and the steps involved.
AT&T Custom Rom Install
let me try and get this straight in my mind
I just picked up a new AT&T Titan (P139100) and I live in Canada and on the Bell network.
The phone is unlocked x310a or x310e
Can I just hold down the volume + and power button to start boot mode plug into my laptop and then just install Dynamics 7 v1.21 or can I just get away with installing HSPL then rom

Not quite. Before embarking with installation of custom rom it pays for you to have good read on the titan development section and understand how this work or not work especially with ATT branded titan. Basically you will need to use a gold card method to flash dft spl 2.5 before you can install dft hspl both are pre requisite so you can install custom rom.
Goodluck.

To get rid of this annoying unlocked code business, you need to flash a stock Cingular rom 1.10, then force update to 8107 or Tango using cab sender, and problem solved

Ok then... it's a AT&T phone but I use a Cingular rom. Do I have to flash using a Gold card and y cable and with SPL then HSPL then update with the rom or can I just Flash it with the Cingular Rom. And if it's that easy is there a link to the Cingular Rom 1.10
And better still is there a wiki on how to do it with software links.
Thanks
Cingular rom is the stock rom for ATT branded phone and you only need to use RUU to flash this rom. Downloand ROM and RUU from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334468

Thanks for the Idea and link but the link doesn't work for the Cingular rom and I can't find another file hosting page to d/l from.
And another question (soooo many questions! ) any one know how to view your cell phone files in windows explorer on your pc
I tried the registry edit thing but that didn't work.
OK I have finally found the Cingular Eternity rom and ruu.
Can you point me towards a link to the cab sender or the instructions on how to do it.

OK so I found the Cingular ROM and install it, the re-locking problem has gone away.
I updated to Tango (8773) and all runs great!... but
After I installed 7720, HTC Connection Setup app wasn't there and after upgrading to 8773 it still isn't there.
The problem I have is I can't send a picture with a text message. I can send a text message fine, surf the internet with WiFi on and off.
I have 4G everything works great, I just can't send a pic attached to my text message and I can't receive a picture either if some one sends a text with a pic attached. I have gone into the APN settings and entered all there is to enter from the Bell site but still nothing.
When I got the phone it came loaded with AT&T 7720 and had the connection setup app installed and it entered the info fine and I had text and picture attached and it worked great. I could send text messages with pics attached all day long and it worked fine.
What I want to know is is there a way to get into the MMSC or what ever they call it to tell the phone it can use this feature. As I said before it worked fine when the connection setup app was there. But it's unavailable now from the HTC market site
Hy guys i have a big problem and i need advice. i was using some rom ics with 3.6 sense and today it start boot loop then i decided to test this
Team Venom presents: Viper3D 1.0.0 Nightly welcome to the future. installation went great but the problem started there. it can not find any network. i tried full wipe of everything but its the same. it does not let me update radio anymore. everything else works. IT revolutionary shooter_u Xa shio s-off RL, hboot- 1.49.1107, radio - 11.25.3504.06_M, cid is HTC__001
and i am using gsm version
Your cid is HTC_001 right? Well that means your unbranded right? Well that could be the problem. If your not branded with a carrier your not going to get a mobile signal. There's nothing wrong with your phone bro. Since your radios are up-to-date of course it won't let you upgrade. Suggestion: brand your phone to get a mobile network. Hope that helps you.

i will try. how to do that?
That depends on what mobile carriers are in your region. Whichever one you chose, you will have to find the right stock ruu with the carrier you want service from. For instance, If you want Vodafone service you would get a shooterru ics Vodafone (with matching radios) ruu file and flash it through your bootloader. Now please make sure you find the correct one or else you will brick your phone. Now, to verify you are on Vodafone check your cid which should say voda_001 or something like that. Note this was hypothetical scenerio and used as an example. But you get my point. After you find your appropriate ruu and flash it. Call the mobile carrier and ask to activate an account with them to get your phone activated. Just remember that I nor nobody else is responsible if you turn your phone into a expensive paperweight.

i understand but the problem is to find correct cid of this network and the orginal is probably changed. It Vipnet Croatia part of A1. Do you have a suggestion where to look?
Ok after much research, I have reached a deadend. So, let me ask you this, is your cid still HTC_001? Does Vodafone own vipnet? If so, maybe flash a Vodafone cid might work for you? I'll try to keep looking, in the meantime is there anybody you know that has vipnet on their evo 3d that can tell you what their cid is?
last i checked (a couple years ago) vipnet was owned by vodaphone.
he's s-off and should have absolutely no problem downgrading his radio, so this is rather puzzling
also I don't think CID should have any effect on his signal
my best guess would be that since viper3D is sense 4.0 based it doesn't play nice with some aspects of the phone, try flashing another rom/kernel maybe, bottom line if i'm wrong you rule those two out,
hope this helps
Ok just checking because he was asking to write a vipnet cid to his phone and after looking through google I came into that conclusion that he could probably brand his phone with Vodafone. I'm pretty sure there was nothing wrong with his phone just needed a mobile carrier to have an active data signal. Thanks for helping me help him.

Seriously, we are trying to help you. Your radios have nothing to do with your problem. You have to have an active service on your phone for all these features to work. Based on what you have told us it has to be a no service issue. You have to brand your phone with a mobile provider and contact them to set up an account. You do this by flashing a firmware to get your radios intune with your carrier of choice. I did look all over the place and cannot find a vipnet firmware anywhere. My suggestion is to flash to Vodafone for your region. Cid does not have anything to do with getting service since you are unbranded. When you brand your phone the firmware will convert your phones cid to match with the correct cid to have network service. I hope this helps you. I really hate to see you screw up your phone from not listening to our advice.

Hi guys,
I need your help please. I bought my htc one m7 a year ago in USA. the phone is at&t branded but internationally unlocked for any SIM card. I went back home to Serbia and phone works fine with my Serbia SIM card but the problem that I'm having is that phone is not updating at all. I still have 4.3 android. In the settings the option is not saying software update but it says at&t software update, just to give you a clearer picture. So I don't know if I need at&t SIM card for it to be able to update the phone or what. Is there some other way to clear my phone like its not bond to any carrier?
Thx

at&t phone can only be updated using ot aupdates if they are connected to the at&t network.
To de-brand your phone you will need to s-off and flash the dev edition ruu.
