[Q] Questions about flashing ROMs - Nokia Lumia 920

Hello everyone, I bought my L920 in Germany and never got the automatic time setting option. Some say it's a carrier issue but I've tried different carriers none of them worked while they all worked fine on other phones like iphone and android. So I figured flashing a different ROM might solve this problem and heres my question: I got RM-821, can I flash any ROM I want? Do I have to flash ROM only for Germnay? After flashing will I recieve further update automatically? Thx a lot!

No need to flash ROM's or anything.
Don't see a WP device as a device where you can "just flash any ROM you want", because it's not so easy to do.

First time ROM flash, 5Qs: Backup? SPL? Radios? Connection? Active sync?

hi guys,
First win mob device and please with the possible functionality of the device yet pretty dissapointed with the responsiveness (especially the keyboard lag, wtf!!!)
Can someone possibly answer a few questions with regards to using a custom rom?
1. Currently on Vodafone UK, thus using the default Vodafone rom. How do i back this up incase for any reason i need to revert?
2. I have read the thread here with regards to Hard-SPL, can someone please explain to me what the hell this, is this just a boot loader that allows me to boot different roms? What does SPL stand for?
3. What do the guides mean by flashing radios? Does that just mean using a different hardware driver than the one thats currently being used?
4. As mentioned in 1. i'm on vodafone uk, how do i ensure that when i've flashed to the new ROM that things like 3g etc work. Once i boot the new rom how to i tell it that im vodafone uk and not tmobile, orange, o2, etc...? What i'm trying to say is that how do i ensure the connection settings are correct for my country and network?
5. When using a custom rom will i still be able to sync with my works active directory for emails, calendar etc... Can currently do this on my stock vodafone rom, i'm presume this isn't going to be removed from the custom rom?
Once again guys sorry for all the Q's but i'd like to understand fully what im doing before i do it.
Thanks in advance to anyone here that offers help with my questions

1. Check the wiki, the voda rom should be there.
2. Yes. Hard-spl lets you flash any raphael rom.
3. Radios get the signal from the tower, if you have poor reception and battery life consider trying a different one. Many people use different radio's so most of the Roms do not contain one so that a person's radio isn't over written.
4. Most roms have "htc connection settings". It will recognize your sim and ask to run the correct settings for your network. It's a breeze. If for some reason your rom doesnt have it..search, there are tons of cabs for it here on xda.
5. Yes, activesync works perfectly.
Flash hard-spl and have fun.

Flashing original rom after unlocking the phone

Hello
1st of all please I'd like to thank my dear friend Rataplan for helping me to unlock everything in the phone
Now just one thing I'd like to ask about something:
If I've flashed the original ROM I've downloaded from HTC website after selecting my country from the website, will it lead to re lock the phone as it was before.

Hi MGadAllah,
Just to make you happy and many others who are struggling with that issue, you're phone will not be locked again no matter wich rom you choose, if you have to bring it back for repair under warrenty, you can run a procedure to lock it.
Regards

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.

sure you can, you don't have a tmous so my previous post is not related to your phone.

[Q] Returning to Stock Rom and Zune Updates

Hi Everyone,
I’m new to this forum.
I finally figured out how to unbranded my HTC Mozart (TMO-DE), after reading several posts from very helpful people like Ansar. The procedure I used was:
Flash TMO-DE 1.09
After the Flashing has failed and phone reboots
Flash another ROM (HTC-EU 1.30 or HTC-EU Mango)
And it worked...
Anyway after doing this, I noticed very little difference and so I would like to return to my original branded software.
So I flashed back one of the TMO-DE roms, (1.20, 1.25, 1.28). And it was back to what looked like the original software.
However when I connect my phone to Zune, I can’t get any updates.
I assume its because something has changed on my since I used TMO-DO 1.09.
Does anyone know how to return my phone back to its original condition?
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks,
Daniel
More problems - Please Help!!
Now i have another problem, apart from not being able to get any updates.
Also it seems there is a problem with my bootloader.
I've lost the PD6700 and its been replaced by some strange unreadable characters. And now I cant change the ROM anymore.
Any ideas? Is there anyway to re-load the boot loader?
Thanks
The_Raul
try reading some of my posts, might help you
Hi i have the same problem.What can i do??
Same problem
I'm stuck with DFT 7713 ROM. I tried to go back to NoDo. I used the following NoDo version software "RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50_RELEASE" on my HTC Mozart. But it did not happen. Mine is an unlocked phone. Can someone please help me with the following questions?
1. If and when the official mango hits my region (India), would it automatically upgrade to the 7720? If so, I shall sit quiet.
2. If the answer for the first one is no, then how do I downgrade? Or is there a way to get rid of this DFT thing?
Thanks a lot. I'm kind of frustrated with this problem . Please help.
Greetings!
hi neusun,
AFAIK zune will not update custom ROMs. you will have to manually update. keep looking into the forums and you will find something. tons of ROMs and many, many talented guys are here. try ansar's ROMs.
yes its a pain in the ass but hey we chose command over convenience, right ?

[Q] Huawei U8350 Stock ROM (WIND Mobile)

Hey folks! I'm in dire need of the official stock ROM for the Huawei U8350 (Wind Mobile Version). If anyone has it or is able to somehow extract it from their own device, could you please post here or pm me???
I uninstalled the "Huawei IME" and 'original launcher' a few weeks ago.. i had forgot I did that and proceeded to do a factory reset today. Since it deleted my current launcher and all other apps and setting, I cannot access anything on my phone anymore. It is not rooted and don't plan on rooting it. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm sure I can figure something out for the launcher, but the main thing is the "Huawei IME"..
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi

same here, my aws radio is gone. My phone is rooted and I tried so many roms. Still am only connecting to rogers 2g network. Which is pointless because I can't make any calls. My only option is project sarah but I hate the on screen keyboard. There's just got to be a way to fix the radio on this thing...
