Hi there!
Can somebody tell me if its possible to remove the network provider logo from the start up process of the HTC Trophy?
There is no SimLock or so on the device.
Thx a lot...
Yea, I have the same problem here in Austria with a A1-branded ROM, no simlock but this nasty provider logo on startup (and some provider-adapted settings, like A1.net mail account as an additional mail accout type).
I think that only a custom ROM will be able to remove those operator customizations.
Same Question here
BTW: How come there is no device specific for the Trophy?

Its impossible to remove the operator logo at the moment. its part of the ROM.
Just saw, that i forget a word in my last sentence
What I meant was:
Why is there no device specific FORUM for the Trophy
Is this really an issue?

I've just bought a UK HTC Touch HD that was locked to Orange and is now unlocked. I want to get rid of the Orange branding software by flashing to the latest 'Official' HTC Rom but have found that the only ROM on the HTC site is 'unsuitable' for my phone after inputting the Ser No. Can someone point me in the direction of the corrrect ROM file or is there a good reason why I should use a 'unofficial' ROM?

Hiya mate, welcome to the forum. I don't blame you for wanting to get rid of the Orange branding, they seem to take pleasure in undoing all the hard work that HTC do and replace it with their puke inspired branding (Orange SPV E650 - PUKE!)
Right, first of all I'd suggest you read through the Blackstone Wiki (Link is stickied at the top of this forum) You'll find out most of what you need to know about flashing a new ROM, including chooseing between USPL and HSPL (Bootloader) - depending on whether you intend to do much flashing of ROMs to your device. There's also links to some Official HTC WWE roms that people have dumped from their phones and kindly re-packaged ready to be flashed.
As always, remember that flashing a new rom image, or SPL will invalidate your warranty, unless you can flash back to original - which is possible for SPL and ROM image provided you back up your original or know you can download an Original Orange ROM. Instructions for dumping your rom are also on the wiki.
Good luck!
Thanks, I'll have a trawl through all the info, hopefully I won't end up turning my new toy into a brick!

I've successfully 'de oranged' now by using :
Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNexe
followed by:
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship
Everything seems to be working just fine and the 'auto configuration' now works no matter what sim I use, who knows I might even be brave enough to start playing with 'Cooked' ROMS soon!
I've had my orange phone for a couple of days now and want to do the same as you. Can you tell me how you unlocked your phone and do you have to unlock it before you can put in a new ROM?
Also, once you put the new ROM in, did you have to set up the orange voicemail, internet, etc?
You don't need to network unlock before flashing. Mine is still locked to Orange despite having a Dutty rom on it.
I think a network unlock costs a few bob, look around the forums. Data just worked, and I had to remember that voicemail is on 123. And if it didn't I expect the config text they send out would reset it all for you.

Thanks for the reply. I wont bother with unlocking as I intend to stay with orange for at least the next 18 months. I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind:
How do they know to send the config text? Can they detect you updated the ROM?
This is something that I have also wondered about... do you have to note all data & MMS etc settings or are they predetermined by the sim or something?
I've flashed my phone probably about 20+ times with different ROMs and all have detected my Orange UK SIM settings.
Hope this helps.
The 'Auto Configuration' option in 'Connection setup' takes care of all the settings for you and you've still got the option of selecting the Country and Operator manually.

That is good to know. I was worried that the phone would forget how to do sms, internet, voicemail, etc.
Hello everyone!
i have one t-mobile branded firmware htc hd2 which i bought it from and uk based ebay seller..its unlock..and i can recieve and make calls..
but im not able to use internet on the phone bcos it has settings for t-mobile network..
and i also tried to upgrade it through htc website but whenever im trying it says these updates are not for this serial number...
kindly help me in debranding my phone so that i can use this in australia with full functions..thanks a lot in advance..
trust me that would be a great help from you.
If this is a UK T-Mob HD, then its a contract phone and seems strange that it is up for sale so soon. Unless it has been stolen - I don't think we should help with stolen phones, unless you're willing to gvie me the IMEI number so I can check here with T-Mob.

Hi ABBABY,
i don´t understand your problem. Use either SPSL or HPSL (guarantee issues) and try the image you like.

Im not exactly sure if you want help making your internet work with your sim, or if you want help taking the tmobile rom off and putting a stock or custom one on..
If you just want help with internet settings then download the attached file and install on your phone. Then run the connection setup program in the start menu, connections screen and it should set up your internet and mms settings for the network you select (if its available).
If you want to put a custom rom on your device then follow my flashing a leo rom for noobs link in my signature to install HardSPL and then you can flash any of the roms in the rom development section to take off the tmobile branding and give you whatever you want.

What network are you trying to use it with?
I'm not too sure if you can change the connection settings easy on the T-Mobile ROM, I'd recommend flashing with the HTC unbranded ROM and then you can just select your service provider and it all works sweet.

I work for T-mobile and the only way you can change these settings is indeed to change to HTC unbranded ROM or any other ROM of your choice.

You must have flashed one of the TMobile Test Roms during your travels, which has that splash screen on it. Custom Roms dont include a splash screen so it wont be overwritten when flashing other roms afterwards.
Download the attachment and unzip to a folder on your pc. Sync using your usb cable and run the included customruu.exe file to flash back the original htc splash screen.

Hi,
I got locked HTC Wildfire. Is there any way to know what operator is the phone locked for?
I want to buy code (since j-tag pin out is still unknown) the provider wants me to send code of operator.
Thanks in advance.
Petr
If its locked to specific carrier the splash screen/boot animation when phones first booted/powered on should have providers logo.

Hi Football
I don't suppose you have a change log for this ROM update. I am sure most people will be keen to know whether it just has updated HTC apps or if it includes the so far mythical Microsoft update billed for Jan 2011.
I noticed that HTC Hub on my Orange UK branded HTC 7 Mozart got an update through Marketplace.

You can remove all the Orange stuff though Making it stock is one of the main awesome things about WP7!
And nope, flashing other region's stuff won't work.

Hi Optika
Press and hold on the icon in the applications menu and you will see "uninstall" come up. You use the same method that you would to uninstall any application.

Hi Optika
It's not clear what you mean but...
At this moment in time, you can't change the actual ROM on the device, only remove software bundled with it by either HTC or Orange.
If you mean the Orange Theme, then you can't remove the "Orange UK" theme from the device as this is hard coded into the Operator's ROM but you can change the colour to any of the other standard WP7 colours (including Orange).
If you're talking about using a non-orange SIM card, I am pretty sure the phone will be network locked to Orange UK. You may be able to get the phone network unlocked. There are both official and unofficial routes to this, which you may or may not have to pay for. You'll need to do your own research into that, which should probably include speaking to Orange themselves.
If you clarify what "still shows Orange in front of any network " means, I am sure people here will help if they can.
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
I think he means the start up logo.
You can't change that i think

Is it possible to flash to android, with a simlock.
Or is it possible to remove simlock, free? (i read something about hard spl?)
If it's possible, and i can just buy a vodafone simcard to make it work(it's a vodafone nl simlock) I would be pleased too.
Many thanks in advance!

no,buy an unlock code online or ask the network operator it came from. Simlock is completely unconnected to roms and flashing and hspl.

So, (the simlock is vodafone) If I buy a vodafone simcard, and flash the hd2 to android, I can use him like all android users do
Another quick question, is it also possible to root?
