Hello everyone.
Japan just released a new version of x01ht, white in color. Does anyone know if this is sim / cid locked? anyway to unlock it using the tool in the wiki.
Thanks a lot
I saw it in one shop, and all I know it has new ROM version, 1.33.761.5... Hmmmm...
there is no reason for them to release an unlocked softbank phone.
Anyone know the bootloader version?
I've heard that it is > 1.09
i have a Softbank X01ht in white color, but how can i see the bootloader version?
Check Wiki, damn it!!! (Under "Hacks & Tweaks" and "How to Hardreset and/or Enter into Bootloader")
Don't forget to check radio and OS versions...
my white x01ht's bootloader version is 1.09,
OS 5.1.195,
ROM version 1.33.761.5
radio version 1.14.01.10
so, any unlockable method?
thanks a lot...
Yes... here...
There is already a store selling the unlocked version of new "While" X01HT with very expensive price. I am sure the store owner is one of the member here.
X01HT ROM Version 1.33.761.5
I need to know a definite "Yes" or "No" if the X01HT with ROM Version 1.33.761.5 can be unlocked and if so, how do I proceed to doing so? I recently tried upgrading my unit's OS which was running and older version of Windows Mobile to the latest but it went brick on me so I took it in to Softbank and they fixed it but it came back with the current 1.33.761.5 and the Japanese Windows Mobile OS. Help!

Where is this store?!?
Where?
Yes. I too would like to know where this store is and if it's in the Tokyo area. Also, I don't need to buy a unit since I already have one but rather would like to just get it unlocked and have the language changed from the default Japanese to English. There was one place in Tokyo that I used to take all my phones to get them unlocked but that company is no longer in business. If anyone has any "specific" information on where one can go to get this done, then please include the details. Thanks.
blacksamurai, i'll be getting mine next week from Softbank. If pof could come up with a new version of the unlocker that can unlock the new white X01HT that I'll be getting, then I'll help you unlock yours after that - alright?
I can help you for free
black samurai, I can teach how to change to english your X01HT and unlocked. email me at [email protected]
Thanks!
auyongtc and junulrik thanks a lot for wanting to help. I just need to be certain that it's the ROM Version 1.33.761.5 and NOT the ROM Version 1.33.761.4 that you can help me unlock and have the language changed. Word is, the 1.33.761.5 can't yet be unlocked. However, if you are certain you are able to do it, then I'd greatly appreciate your help. The Reason I'm so cautious is because as I mentioned, I had to take it back to Softbank to get it reset and they gave me a knowing look like, "Yeah. We know what you were trying to do!"
New info anyone?
Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have any updates about the unlocking X01HT's ROM Version 1.33.761.5? Junulrik, I don't know if you received my email I sent you. Perhaps it ended up in your "Junk Mail." In any case, you can email me at [email protected] anytime.
Buy unlocked X01ht in Tokyo
I plan to buy Softbank X01ht unlocked, any information where i can buy this x01ht unlocked version in tokyo?

Hello, this is my first post and I am glad I joined this brilliant community with so many helpful people and resources.
I am getting a Blackstone in the next 24 hours from Orange UK and wanted to ask if the Orange device has the same programs and versions and no difference at all as the retail version (sim free, WWE, etc) that can be bought from other vendors.
And also wanted to know if installing the ROMs that are designed here would do the debranding of the Orange UK device. If the ROMs don't do that - and the Orange HD is different to the retail version - what should I do to debrand my new HD to make it similar to the retail ones? ( I know that flashing them will not unlock the sim).
Thanks.

Welcome to XDA-Devs. I am not in the UK so I can't speak specifically about the the Orange HD device. I purchased mine from a retailer which was the HTC Touch HD with no mobile branding. This phone is not sim-locked to a mobile carrier so I can use whichever GSM carrier I so choose.
Typically phones "branded" for companies are cheaper and at a reduced price. Once you flash a ROM however all the Orange software, etc. will be gone. You can flash a shipped WWE HTC ROM version if you like and get all same software that I had on my phone.
Just make sure you have HardSPL on you device before you flash.
I highly recommend you try one of the cooked ROMs on XDA after you play around with your device for a while.
Thanks for your reply.
I was asking about the differences between Orange branded ones and SIM free ones because usually Orange have made changes in the previous original devices the sell and they become very sluggish and take off some factory settings and features.
I read about installing or having the HardSPL and understand that I need to use it and then install or flash a ROM. Just will need some time or advice on which ones to choose to have or at least a preview or some pics of how the device works or looks after each of them.
hello:
welcome to Xda.
i am in US and i got my phone from UK. it is unlocked, unbranded version. it came with europe version stock rom. there is no special software in it. i also tried orange uk version rom. it has exactly same software in europe wwe rom.
so you dont have to worry about the rom. they are the same.
Thanks for the replies.
I just got the HTD HD from Orange UK today and it seems with this model they didn't make any changes to the original OS - at least it looks like it.
I have been reading about SIM unlocking for the HD in another thread and wanted to ask if it is ok to SIM unlock and if it will remain unlocked after using HSPL and ROMs created here. Or should I go for the HardSPL and ROMs first and leave the SIM unlock for last? Also wanted to know which HardSPL and ROMs are the most used or prefered by most people in the forums so I could know which one to go for.
Orange HD
i also have the orange - not so bright - Touch Hd
there is no network branding or software on the handset - luckily for us

Once you SIM unlock it will stay that way. It can't be reversed by flashing another ROM.
hey guys if I hard reset my htc touch hd orange branded, will it the after reset become not branded with orange anymore.
Will i then be able to upgrade to latest roms from htc, and will my phone be locked, since now I am using a non orange sim on it.
no there is a block from upgrading roms, but there is always a way
firstly you have to flash HSPL
when that is complete you can then flash any of the roms featured here. remember to read thoughrly the instructions as written and youll be fine

Hey mate, go ahead and Flash your HD, its the best thing ive done, wm6.5 on NRGZ's Rom is awesome.. Just make sure you use crackwhore's guide. Let us know what you think.
Firstly when you hard reset your phone it will default back to what ever ROM it was loaded with when bought. So if it had and orange ROM on when purchased it will stay an orange ROM.
Secondly, if you are wanting to flash a custom ROM then you will need to have either HSPL flashed or use the USPL method.
If your phone is locked to orange (which it mos likey is you will need to have it SIM unlocked which you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206.
Hope this helps a bit, If you need anymore info on flashing ROMs then look in the ROM section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453

some people on ebay are selling debranded tg01s i contacted one and he said that he has the factory tg01 rom but was unwilling to sell it but would install it on my phone if i sent it to him with £20, anyway my question is
1. does anyone here have the factory rom to completly debrand from orange uk?
2. if no to above do you think it would be easier to decrypt the debranded rom compared to the orange branded one as it may be worth getting it to dump here?
Its either a sim free model or he has just removed the bootup and shutdown screens. Personally If a debranded rom was out there it would already have been posted so save you £20 (and your phone)
thats what i was thinking o well

i contacted a guy from ebay about debranding & he said he had the original toshiba firmware that removed carrier branding....
not sure if this sounds plausable......
maybee its a tosh employee making a bit of extra cash i would
and that would explain why not willing to sell me the cab
or as BaconTrousers said just someone removing bootscreen ect.
i am tempted.
The only one debranded rom is Italian so it's possible that he sells TG01 with translation package installed...

Italian ROM is debranded and it's better, i read about some voice problem in orange ROM.
But I see WM 6.6 in youtube running in our device. There is a system to install a new ROM in TG01 but we don't know.
can't someone use the italian debranded rom and create a custom rom from that? maybe even translate it into english, would be great even a custom rom in italian would be good
I've used leaked O2 then official Orange UK now I'm using leaked Orange UK (little bit stripped down from obsolette apps) had also Italian rom but i'ts based on 21840 build (leaked roms are 21856) so there is annoying bug in Start menu that closes after opening any settings ...
I've made translation for Italian German and UK rom to Polish so i think it's possible to translate Italian rom to english but I don't have time and motivation to do this...
Hi, I'm from RO, speaking a little bit of italian, owning an orange locked tg01(one of the first devices in RO), so I've upgraded(finally, one week ago) to wm6.5 italian ROM,by curiosity, encountering no problems so far:good signal on phone calling in/out, installed srs wow v.4(again curiosity, personally no need of it), 3 gps apps(iGO8.3.2, garmin&Automapa6.1.0.876+gpsgate2.6), awesome start=everything working fine, no random soft reset, waiting for a (god[xda]blessed) custom ROM..
edit:Nico, maybe we'll find, somehow, a motivation for you: let us know!!!
Generally you'll need rgu files from dumped UK rom all files containing 409 (mui, dat html txt bin) cpp_englocalization.dll (I think it's the right file name or something like this) DotNetLocalization.dll(to translate powersave and some other settings) thread_style.css, wc_style.css, wmStyles.css(translation of sms app) and WiFiSettingsLocalizationRes.dll i think that's all sorry for little bit chaotic description but I really don't have much time to write this.

What is this 'Leaked Orange ROM' of which you speak?
Could it be leaked to the forums, so we can play?

I'm using an Orange TG01 and the only branding I can see is that the windows boot screen is an orange background. I don't see any software or links to tell me it's an orange branded rom.
I bought it off ebay, and was told it was using a factory unlocked rom.
could this be the ROM you're talking about? What should I look for?
Dodge0069,
Was it from an eBay user called i_sell_fones ? Here is his current listing.
Apart from being de-branded, it would have come with Spb MObile Shell pre-installed.
If so then that's the one. I don't personally know if a dump of the ROM would tell the experts anything, but be useful to at least know if this additional piece of material could potentially be available !

Guys there aren't debrandet rom. All rom is the same, Orange UK and France, Vomistar Spain, Italian don know and some more all of them branded. May be unlocked but branded. On the market you can't buy debranded because Toshiba still don't sell it.
Italian ROM is brand-free:as far as I've noticed in 2 weeks of using it.

Where do i see branding other than on the back of the phone, and the orange colored windows startup screen?
has it got any orange apps on it?
TV player or orange plus or orange maps?
if these apps aren't available from your start menu then they're aren't installed, BUT they may still have thier .cab files in the root of windows?
i partially debranded my phone by hard reset then before 1st set up, i deleted the install paths to cab files i didn't want to use in the registry... i wasn't brave enough with my deleting as there is still some orange stuff there !!!
cheers
There are no orange cabs
I have no installed orange apps
Also, i've hard reset, and it SPB Shell 3.0.1 is installed in the ROM.

Thanks now..and donations wil follow )
dunno if I'm right, but as long as I know, telstra phones are already unlocked... at least the one I bought from Australia... I live in Mexico and my telstra edition was working with telcel as soon as I took out it of the box...
Telstra HD2s are not locked

I can confirm this.....
Except it's got the telstra rom on it that restricts certain settings/functions... but u can easily get rid of it...
I am using one here in the US. What a wonderful phone, thanks to our Aussie Bros that I can use this phone on att US./
Not locked.
any sim works on it but you won't get full internet pottential until you change the rom. I tried a 3 mobile sim when i 1st got the phone, i had reception straight away but no internet. but as soon as i got rid of the telstra rom & retried my 3 sim, everything set up in an instant just as with a telstra sim.
You might want to look at flashing a generic HTC rom, as it will pick up the new provider settings if your using another countrys sim.
First you will need to remove the spl and install a hard spl

I would download hspl2_run.zip and install 2.08
Then get the htc rom

1.72 WWE should do the trick.
Hope this helps.
