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.
Hi all, where i can download the touch dual upgrade? someone can post a link please? I can't download it from official htc site becouse i have a branded phone.
thx
Mirrors for WM6.1 upgrade postet for some times here. Please use the Search...
Or take a look in my signature
can it go on branded??
I've been trying to find out the answer to this for a few days....but I get a bit confused with all the answers, terminology and talk of hard spl etc..
so please forgive the question... I would like a simple yes or no answer just to confirm what I think i understand from other threads...
Can the normal HTC supplied update for WM6.1 be applied to a branded phone (in my case Orange UK) without having to make any other adjustments first???
Thanks in advance
thx but i need the italian version..

Nope, you need to flash the uspl first. Check the sspl/uspl/hardspl thread. It's quite easy, first you put sspl on the phone and run it, then when the phone is in bootloader you flash the uspl. After flashing you can check if it went ok by going into bootloader (check wiki how to do it). If you can confirm that you have uspl, then just flash the new 6.1 original.
There's nothing else to it (it works also on vista). I did it with my t-mobile branded phone.

Thanks for that...I believed that was the case but there is sooo much info on here it was difficult to get to the bottom of it.
I'm not sure I want to do all that...if i brick it I can't afford a new phone so I might just leave it be.
Also, has anyone actually done this with an Touch Dual on Orange UK? does it work? The only confirmed upgrades i've found are on T-Mobile.
It would be a lot easier if Orange just supplied it wouldn't it????

nothing, I'm afraid. its dead. warranty? insurance?
if you bought it from amazon they are pretty good at returns (well in the UK at least)
I would call them up tell them you recieved the phone and its dead, i highly doubt they would be able to test it to find out that it could be user error
think thats your only chance

I have a Tmobile UK HD2 with the official ROM version 1.72......WWE.
I have installed HSPL3, and successfully flashed Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and I am about to experiment with a few custom Roms. Going from your post above, would I still be able to return to my original Official Tmobile rom should i decide to? I thought HSPL was to allow me flash both cooked and official roms? thanks for any advice you can give.

Hi,
I have a t-mobile USA HD2 and I would like to know if it was possible to flash to the 3.14 european/uk rom without bricking my device? Has anyone tried it yet?
Thanks!!

You are on AT&T with a US T-Mobile device?
Anyway, no, it won't work. The US model has more ROM memory than the international models.
thanks for the infos! Good to know that this can't be done.

Besides risky tricks with flashing wrong radio and getting expensive paperweight as a result you will not get any benefits flashing European rom.
Theoretically if you really want to have Euro variant - you can extract ruu_signed.nbh from Euro ship.exe and flash it. The device won't be bricked but you will loose half of your flash size.
Normally it works on the contrary - the owners of the European model are installing the OEM drivers and nk from the American model to enable more memory.
If you want to get rid of T-Mobile specific services and settings - flash any custom Leo rom which is TMOUS compatible.

i think flashing a euro rom (without radio) ((or for example a euro based cooked rom)to a tmous leads to boot sticking at the RGD info screen. Or am i mistaken? ( I have a euro, not tmous, just 14 months dedicated reading, hehe)

I would not try it at all the risk of bricking your HD2 is way too high if you do not make sure all factors involved are correct. Plus as other posts here says you will lose some of the phone capabilities.
Selliing my HD2 overseas!!!!!!!!
I am selling my hd2 on ebay and believe it or not downgrading to an optimus s that I want to use either on virgin or Cricket/ Metro for a cheaper better plan. If anyone can help me with the proper radio and rom to flash that would be awsome.
But, that is not my question. On the HD2 side so far the only bidder is from Greece and I have advertised (custom Rom WM6.5, WP7, or Android) Will a Tmous rom work in Greece? If not What rom/or radio will?
I flashed Asia ROm to T-Mobile HD2 and bricked. I believe Euro ROM will do same. Now only way is to use JTAG method to recover
Hey there,
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 with the Retail Demo Software, i wanna have a full WP8 OS on this Device.
Is it possible to disable the Demo mode?
You have to use the Nokia Care Suite to load a new Rom.
Sent from my LG-E970 using XDA Premium HD app
where can i find the the Download link for Version 2012.44.5.3?
Same here, help would be appreciated. Any way to get rid off the Demo mode? I have installed navifirm+ but really do not know which variant I have to download or how to install it, maybe because I am new to Windows Phone...
So the phones aren't even out yet on AT&T, ppl have been selling these stolen store demos ?
Demo mode is a special ROM loaded on phones display in retail stores. The only way to get rid of it is to load a different ROM. There is no easy way to do it. You have to research it yourself.

It's not stolen at all, we are officially selling these Phones and got 1 free when buying 5. The free one was the demo device, but I didn't know about that. Now I would like to use this device for myself but I can't... I did some research and downloaded a ROM but I really do not find any download link for Phoenix or JAF to install the ROM on my device so now I am really stuck and don't know what to do.
EDIT: Ok I downloaded Phoenix and it says the Lumia isn't even connected. Seems like fail. Any ideas?

That was interesting. When orginal Samsung Focus was released, store employees have to load the demo firmware by themselves IIRC. So now it is loaded by the coporate AT&T.

Actually I'm from Germany and it is not a branded device at all. It just comes with the demo to be placed in a shop where everybody can get their hands on it. But this isn't of any use for us. Help would still be appreciated
Your besy bet is head over to dev forum asking for how to load ROMs to it. But the first thing is to find the official ROM files to download. There is no common way in Windows Phone to load device ROMs from another ROM. Each manufacturer has its own ways. Once you loaded with official ROM tough, you can easily upgrade via common Windows Phone OTA update afterwards.

Navifirm doesn't have any RM-820 ROMs yet. Only 821. Did you successfully flash a RM-821 ROM onto a AT&T 920 (RM-820)???
Or, did you find a RM-820 ROM?
I tried to flash a 821 ROM onto my Rogers 920 which is also RM-820, and the phone won't boot, I am desperately trying to find a RM-820 ROM.

You are right I see, there is no RM-820. But I wasn't even able to flash the ROM because Phoenix didn't detecte my device, it was shown as not connected. How did you mange to flash it then? Btw my Lumia isn't from AT&T.

I chose a RM-821 rom to flash in NCS. It asked me to confirm since the ROM wasn't for this phone. I did, and it started flashing. Then it errored out, saying the ROM isn't for the phone and wouldn't go. I was left with a dead phone

Well that's good for me because I would have made the same mistake. So there is no working ROM right now? Too bad for your dead phone, but how did you install the ROM on it? You have a demo device, too? Where did you actually get it from, and why are we the only damned ones having trouble with demo devices?! x(

Nope, mine was not a demo. I bought it off Kijiji.
I just had success in the past flashing a non-Rogers ROM onto my Lumia 900 and getting MMS and tethering to work. I thought I could do the same here.
If I understand correctly, you're in Germany. That would mean you have a RM-821 device. That would mean you have tons of options for flashing, Nokia Product Support for Store would be what you need. Just download the non-demo ROM for your country and flash it. If you're flashing a RM-821 ROM to a RM-821 device, you should be golden.
RM-821 ROM to a RM-820 device, not so much
It works. Nuff said.
HTC 8X demo mode -- ROM?
I've a similar issue, but with an HTC 8X.
Some guy on Craigslist sold my not-very-smart sister an HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 for $250. Of course, it is locked in demo mode and probably stolen. I've no idea to be honest. I would like to try to flash this demo mode HTC 8X phone into a regular AT&T phone.
I previously flashed a Windows 7.0 Samsung Focus phone w/ Mango through the wonderful instructions on this forum. I'm tempted to try it again, but I would appreciate any guidance on:
1. Finding the right ROM for a HTC 8X phone. It says:
OS version: 8.0.9905.12
Firmware revision: 1532.20.10012.502
Hardware revision number: 0002
2. Basic instructions on how to flash it (someone said navifirm-- do I just install it? etc.) where is it located?
3. Any thoughts on the process of flashing the ROM? Steps, etc.? I'm reasonably technologically savvy, but I don't code anymore these days so I'm not a whiz at this stuff.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thx.
