Anywhere to download Optus HTC Dream ROM?

Is there any location to download Optus HTC Dream original ROM? Im interested to see how the IM works on a non T1 mobile handset.

if you find it can you post it here? Maybe someone here can help us aussies firgure out how to get root on it!

me three! Does anyone know what differences there is in the firmwares between T-mobile and Optus?

My Boss just bought HTC Dream from optus. Turns out they don't even have msn and yahoo messenger only gtalk. the rest look really the same with G1 except some optus own wallpaper. But if anyone interested in getting this ROM and can tell me how to dump a ROM from the phone I might be able to upload it.

i think you need root to dump the rom? I think i read that somewhere- don't worry, as soon as cupcake is out they will have to provide an online download site for the update to the optus rom. And the guys in singapore (exact same rom) have said JF has said he will create a root access rom from it for us!

So now that Optus has finally pushed Cupcake 1.5. Is there anywhere that the ROM is available from?
I flashed my G1 with T-Mobile's Cupcake but now I wish to get Optus Cupcake, I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping someone has dumped the Optus Cupcake ROM and uploaded it somewhere?

How to go back to Vodafone ROM from CM 4.2.x?

Hi All,
I am finding it hard to use my phone since CM 4.2.6 and with every update it's getting worse instead of better...battery draining too fast, force closing apps, slow response etc...
I have a HTC Magic with Vodafone UK, but since I installed CM my splash screen has changed to MT3G.
Can someone please advise how I can go back to the original Vodafone UK ROM as I couldn't find anything online that was clear enough..?
Thanks In Advance,
Kostas

Hi,
I followed the steps in the following thread and moved back to the original Vodafone UK ROM (Cupcake):

ROM Not Suitable??

Hi guys, hopeful someone can help me...
I have the weird HTC Sense not loading problem at the moment and was about to Hard reset when i thought i may as well update my rom instead!!
I checked to see if my device was locked to Vodafone earlier by borrowing a friends Orange Sim and it work fine, connected to orange and allowed me to make a call....
So i assumed i could just download the latest Rom from HTC website and install... but i enter my S/N and it tells me that the update isnt suitable for my device!!
Anybody have any ideas?? If i get hold of this Rom and install it will it mess my phone up or is the website being dumb?? Or should i grab one of the custom Roms??

Are you on VF UK? If so you need to get the ROM from them here:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=424&e=0
OR you can go down the cooked ROM route, following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

Yes i am on UK VF....
Thanks a lot for the link, downloading it now.. I thought i could get any update as it would let the Orange Sim work. Does that not mean its unlocked??
Thanks again for the quick response!!
Funk

It's SIM unlocked but HTC/VF have vendor locked it - basically you have to wait for VF to release the ROM to get it (unless you go down the HSPL route)...In was lucky enough to get my HD2 from Dial-A-Phone completely generic so I can get all updates from HTC direct

Ah ok, that clears that up for me thanks...
Cant see why Manufacturers bother if the sim is unlocked?? but at least they have released the latest.

Just for Orange branded mobiles...nothing new...

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

Any Orange Tattoo users out there willing to share this ROM?

the link is
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=948&news_id=653

But we need the S\N from one of the Orange Branded Tattoo's. You can't download it otherwise.

Ok... just to show that there is no problem sending the s/n.
If yoy try HT99PLG01xxx with xxxx = 0-9 and play a little with
numbers you can find a lot of compinations where the result is
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
but the s/n is for tattoo. Just one from orange give as how the
pattern look like.
segway

I don't want someone's S\N but at least someone from the uk download it and put it on megaupload or rapidshare.

Maybe its difficult for someone to upload it to some server...
To give us a patttern is just 1 minute job...
seg

HT99PLG01xxx is only 999 phones... im sure there is more in uk

See the ROM here:

4) Rolled back nandroid backup
I am happy now.
Did not notice anything new, again Google Apps was not there again. Now thinking about Paul's ROM.

Does Anyone have a copy of the Original, untouched, Vodafone FroYo Rom?

Hello,
After all the carry on people are having with getting FroYo on there debranded handsets, I'm chucking in the towel and going to install the Vodafone Rom.
Does anyone have a link to the Rom that was released last month by Vodafone?
Many thanks in advanced.

I might be wrong, but i think they've released OTA update only, not RUU.

There's a french RUU lying around somewhere in the dev forum...
