Or.. Get a serial from here, and use it to download it.
I'm on Vodafone UK and the UK ROM upgrade when I put my serial in says it now for my device, I have checked with Vodafone and they say my phone has a custom ROM and I will void my contract/warranty if I use anything but a Vodafone approved ROM upgrade but they aren't putting this one out !!!!!!!

It will void you warranty with Vodafone, but not with HTC.
Edited to add:
Actually just checked on the Voda site:
"Any updates done outside of the scope of Vodafone UK's officially approved software, or updates done with versions that are not approved by Vodafone (i.e. those not listed on our online updates page or by sending off directly through Vodafone for repair) will invalidate your Vodafone warranty (official releases direct from the manufacturer do not invalidate your warranty).
As such Vodafone will take no responsibility for the fault and warranty cover will not be provided. Vodafone are very careful when approving software versions to make sure they provide the most compatibility with our devices and most importantly our network.
If you're unsure which updates are approved by Vodafone, we recommend that you check with us prior to completing the update. If you choose to de-brand any Vodafone device, this again will automatically void your warranty cover"
When I enter my S/N I get the message
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
I have an O2 HTC HD2 with 1.42.206.4 (70315) WWE.
Any ideas?

Updates on the HTC site are for unbranded HTC stock phones only.
The devices are unbranded stock HTC devices. The ROM's on the devices from Vodafone (at least) have no customisation at all.
However HTC has assigned blocks of SN's to various operators and as such those SN's are automatically blocked from updating direct from HTC due to the normal operator/manufacture ROM upgrade agreements that allow the operator to control what updates its customers are allowed.
On a software level the upgrade thats on the HTC website will be identical to the one that the operator authorises but we are just having to wait for red tape.
It's because your phone "mother tong" is not the same as the one from the new ROM. use a Gold Card (see on the stickies on this forum)
will i need a goldcard to get this on my o2 hd2 leo??
Will installing a new rom erase all my reg tweaks?

Still not sure what this means exactly
As it is an "official releases direct from the manufacturer" can I download it and put it on even without voiding my warranty?
I can't actually do this because by S/N is a vodafone S/N which are blacklisted by HTC at the moment.

You'd be debranding your phone if you applied this update. According to the last sentence in Isadora's quote that will void your warranty.
Customers such as yourself are in a difficult situation though because Vodafone aren't likely to provide much support for this phone now that they've stopped selling it. Having said that, in my experience most phone companies are pretty hopeless when it comes to releasing firmware updates regardless of whether the phone is "important" to them or not. I'd give up on waiting for official updates if I were you and just debrand.
Thanks, do i still get any HTC warranty?

I have to say that the wording on Voda's site is a bit confusing (what a surprise... ) as they seem to imply that manufactuers updates are ok "official releases direct from the manufacturer do not invalidate your warranty" but not debranding "If you choose to de-brand any Vodafone device, this again will automatically void your warranty cover" so do they mean only cooked roms will void the warranty? In any case as you've rightly pointly out, their support of the HD2 is probably going to be minimal now and I, for one, will happily flash away

Yes as long as you have an official HTC ROM on the phone. However even if you've got a cooked one from here (when they're available!) and say you need to get HTC to repair your phone, just re-flash an official one on before sending it to them and you should be ok
I know flashing the ROM will erase every modification I've made to my device over the past few weeks but was wondering if I backed up my device with SPB will I be able to restore to the newer ROM version?
How dose one tell if their X10 is branded or unbranded? (ie generic or not)
I believe you can see that information in Settings>About Phone.

You need to go into the hidden menu. Go to the lock screen. and type in
menu, back, back, menu,back,menu,menu,back
Then go on service info. then model info.
ok, so it says brand, orange so its branded
But there are no orange software or anything on the phone

Unlucky. You can look into debranding. Its what I did. Or you can hope someone hosts the file up.
i had the same problem, debranding is easy its in the decrypted roms thread, download the files let it flash and viola its debranded as it installs a generic firmware onto the phone
about the apps thing, did your phone not have traffic tv or was that just me?
its got traffiv tv ya, thought that was just something sony stuck on there lol

It voids your warrenty, If you hand the phone into repair and it's running non orange software then they will not repair and and charge you for its returnal.
Though saying that. I handed in a x10 which was on nordic software into a o2 store with a fualty usb port. They replaced the phone. But that might be because they could not turn it on.
Becareful and no the risks before you debrand

I read somewhere here that when you flashed your phone with a official generic version then the warranty won't be voided
here in mexico techs from my carrier are so damn stupid that they won't even notice is not their firmware (just for the record, had an x1 with winmo in spanish, asked them how to change it to english or if they can put the firmware in english, their solution, to change the country settings, seriously they suck)
I have a daft question - If we update to 2.1 can we still hack bootloader if the devs get to it in the near future?
I'd have to assume it remains the same right?
What if it says Customized? Is that branded or debranded?

Hello,
I'm planning to buy a DHD but I can have it from expansys Factory unlocked or from a Mobile Operator Company and then unlocked via IMEI code, my question is is any difference? or advantage or if I unlock the DHD at the end both of them will be exactly the same functionality?
Thanks and sorry for my silly question

The only difference would be whether the mobile operator has put on branding on the software.
sorry but what it means put on branding? like what? Thanks

like a stupid bootlogo, like silly "apps" that just link to their website, etc - BLOATWARE
Ok thanks, but at the end I will receive the updates via HTC no from the Operator?
Thanks guys
from my experience with sony erricsons, there is a "license" within the phones software which determines the unlock status with a red license being in a locked state, blue being factory unlocked, brown being reasearch and development, etc
i dont know if its the same thing, or if it is an analygous system with androids
If you have an Orange branded DHD, for example, you would normally have to wait for Orange to issue an update.
Android Release Timeline
Google --Develop--> HTC --Modify--> Orange --Ruin--> You
However, if you root your DHD, S-OFF & flash custom recovery you will get updates much quicker, albeit officially unsupported by HTC.

With the Touch HD (WM device) the updates for the IMEI unlocked phones had to be from the operator and not from HTC. Maybe it's the same with Android phones...

They come from the operator once they have modified the stock HTC ROMs. So if you buy from a network operator and the phone is branded, you will most probably have to wait for updates, unless you debrand it.
I am buying a New SGS 2, the seller has told me that its factory Unlocked, but I have my doubts that he has De-branded the phone and selling with the name of Factory Unlocked.
Can someone tell me, how would I know if the Seller has Sold me a Debranded phone or a factory Unlocked one?
1.) don't necro threads
2.) this is the DHD forum, it would be better if you post in the SGS2 forum.
btt:
when you use it, there won't be any difference between the factory unlocked and debranded, since you put a factory unlocked ROM on your phone when you debrand it.
BUT it's possible that your warranty is void now since modifying the software isn't covered by warranty. but i'm not sure about that.
Hi all,
Bought my Wildfire, paid more money to get the black one. Turns out it has Asia ROM (Singapore, SEA). Also turns out Asia are the least likely to get firmware updates on time (ironic for a Taiwan based company).
Don't want to root. But want to run UK / Europe firmware.
Have looked at the FOTA updates, they all seem to be a collection of patch files and the SEA ROM has a different firmware version to the UK firmware.
Have seen a few RUU files posted around. Would this be what I would need to flash the UK version?
Few questions I would be grateful if someone could answer:
1. Is this region change via RUU even possible or will I just brick my phone.
2. Would this mess up future updates (how do HTC determine whether there are applicable updates? IMEI?)
3. Is there a better way?
4. Where do the (seemingly leaked) RUU files come from? Any way to guarantee authenticity?
Thanks for your time,
Matthew

1. Yes with help of a "Gold Card"
2. not sure , never got an OTA Upgrade before , i run a custom rom
3. Gold Card and RUU for version you want , would recommend rooting it anyways so you have access to recovery / nandroid backup
4. shipped-roms.net look for htc buzz
PS
Be aware that if you run the RUU for Froyo 2.2.1 you will not be able to root your phone afterwards.
Any Probs let me know and will help if i can

Hi there!
Does any body has a values from Irish O2 operator for PDA/Phone/CSC and product code.
Trying to find them ...
What exactly do you mean? If you are trying to switch a phone from another country or want to check whether it's set up for Ireland, try *#272* (your imei number without the brackets)# This will tell you what region, should be XEU for Ireland. Post exactly what is you are looking to do.

It shows me O2I. But I've reflashed my device by Multi-CSC firmware and changed it to this value. Cos previous firmware I've used from some of Nordic countries.
I wonna reflashed back to stock firmware and need to know which one is stock for Irish O2.
I think you need to know which firmware was originally on your phone i.e. Froyo 2.2 for example. Then download the stock firmware from here for that version. If you purchased your phone since October 2010 I think it would have been Froyo 2.1 or possibly Froyo 2.2 As I said earlier, on your dialer put in *#272* followed by your phone imei number, then # This will tell you whether you are on XEU which you should be for Ireland. If you have Multi CSC on the phone you should be able to change it to XEU if needed. Why do you want to go back to the stock rom anyway?

Thanks Odia but I'm looking for the first SGS I9000
Ok,what version was on your phone when purchased? What version is on your phone now? What region is your phone set to now (see my earlier posts on how to do this)?
You won't be able to download the correct stock rom from here unless you know what version was on it when bought. For warranty, it should not make much difference unless your phone is set to a region other than Ireland.
I'm still struggling to know what it is exactly that you are trying to do, your phone has been flashed,right? What version was on before flashing and what version did you flash onto the phone?
Just thought of something, are you missing some of the provider specific apps? Is your phone rooted? Is your phone unlocked? Are you looking to return it to original status including O2 specific apps?
