Hey guys,
Quick question, I'm looking at a TIM branded magic. Is there any restrictions on this phone version? It's for use in Australia, so I don't mind loosing any TIM branding, or customisations. I'm thinking of just putting on Cyanogen and little more at this stage.
Thanks
So far I know, NO. There is no restriction. I am using HTC TIM Black one.
But to be sure you should check if it has perfect SPL.
I just took delivery of TIM HTC Magic for use here in the states, and rooted it within a few hours, now running cursorsense32a. Works like a charm!

Probably prerelease or from some other source.
Since I don't know of the Jade being carried by any provider in the United States. How many have been shipped over here for American use and what provider do you use?
Any American Jades out there?
Are there any at all? Come on, am I really the only one out there?

What carrier are you using?
T-Mobile
T-Mobile and used it in the Phillipines and Europe as well as the Domminican Republic....
I was beginning to think that I was the only one around here.
Got UMA?
Anybody in America using T-Mobile UMA service successfuly? I bought the phone from Ebay from someone in Australia, so i never had UMA software installed like the ones from Orange UK. I thought about flashing Orange software thinking it should get UMA access using my T-Mobile SIM.

Hi,
I have an HTC Hero that I bought from TELUS. Its running on the American 3G Band. I unlocked it and am running it on a different carrier (Fido). My question is, when HTC comes out with 2.1 ROM for stock European versions on their site, can I use that on my current Hero and still have 3G?
Thanks for your replies everyone!
Yep, you should be fine. AFAIK, the only difference between the NA and EU versions of the GSM Hero is the radio frequency, which I'm pretty sure the OS is ignorant of.
If you want to be safe though, keep your eye on this:

I don't foresee the European updates being released any earlier than the Telus update, unless there's some hangup to do with the Google Navigation localization.
I would personally wait for the Telus update myself. Or root your phone and start using custom ROMs. If you do that, I can guarantee you'll get the 2.1 update whenever HTC releases it for any GSM Hero.
Hey I appreciate that speedy and helpful response
OK I have done some searching around on this topic and I'm finding a lot of mixed information. I'm currently on the Rogers network here in Canada and I managed to get my hands on an HD2 for next to nothing. So I jumped on the chance to have a "boot whatever the heck you want phone". However, while initially researching the phone I only quickly looked over the supported frequencies for the phone to ensure that I could use in on Rogers. Of course it will work as a phone just fine, however, it will not support 3g....apparently.
Started searching about for a way to change the phones frequency and some are saying it is possible to flash another radio for say the European version and some are saying that's not possible. I'm inclined to think it is not possible and that it is a hardware limitation. I figure that this is the best place to look for some real answers. Anyone have some insight into this matter? Oh and if it is a hardware issue and it can be changed....I'm not afraid to take the whole phone apart to try it. Ive done my share of tear downs on other phones....just for the heck of it.
Thanks in advance
only the telstra model will give you 3g on rogers.
hardware, and not changeable
yes you can change the radio (if youhave a tmous ((t mobile us)) then you need to be REAL careful which radio you flash) but changing radio has no effect on the bands.
this forum is for the regular hd2, the tmous (if that's what you have) can be found here

If you have the T-Mobile US version then you can use it on Wind Mobile here in Canada. This is what I'm doing and everything works great, including the 3g. I've loaded Android on it and I absolutely love my HD2!

I actually bought a Telstra (Montreal Fido user) because we don't have Wind here... Telstra works great. Got it off ebay from a nice aussie fellow. I wanted the Tmous one for the extra ROM space, but hey... As long as Android runs on it, I'm more than happy!

Hi, what are the main differences between my branded vodafone wildfire and an unbranded one, is it just the vodafone splash screen or are there anymore. Just wanted to know because many people want to root there phones and install a new rom etc, thanks.

I don't know what the bloatware is in carrier locked phones. Since mine is not a carrier locked one.
And some carriers even disable the installation from unknown sources. Maybe just to increase the data stream through their network. My opinion was never look at the little difference in price and never go for a carrier locked one.
Thanks for reply, my friend just got a unbranded wildfire and it's nice not to have all that branded stuff, feels more like it's your phone and not the carriers.
I have a Vodafone Wildfire. To me it seems that the only branding is just the little Vodafone splash at the end of the booting process. None of the apps or menus are Vodafone branded, everything else seems to be stock HTC.
