Fist i want to say hello to all of X8 comunity members.
I'm not new to android phones, i had few but i'm new with SE Xperia phones.
I need help with few things.
First question: Does flashing update or repair ROM with SEUS unroots rooted phone and puts it in original out of the box system. Just in case phone need to go to warrnty service.
Second question: My phone is Model E15i Firmware 2.1-Update 1 2.1.1.A.0.6 but it has some small setups from Serbian Telenor provider. Is there some Europian Open, nonbranded ROM 2.1.1.A.0.6 version and how could i install it.
Third question: Is there any other app for caledar and contacts. Because this original SE apps are really bad. Calendar can't get further then 1990 and it messed up sync with google calendar when birthdays and anniversary are in sync. And in Contact app also can't be added contact's birthday or anniversary.
Thank you.
-seus makes your phone clean and then loads rom so I think it unroots rooted phones. so do flashing. repairing phone with seus is just automatic flashing with latest official software,
-i think there are some non branded roms. just search in apropriate topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=849
-there are lots of such apps in market search and download whatever you like
With the "SuperOneClick" program you can both root and unroot your phone so you do not even need to reinstall the stock rom.
WELCOME to the club!!!!
P.S.: Do not wait an update from SE. Here you prey to devs
Thank you.
I don't use original roms on HTC Tattoo and Optimus One P500 won't be using original one on X8 for long too only XDA.
Repair/update clean your phone... even if you had it rooted or sth else... after you are clean and they can not trace what you done.
Root has to do with your rom, there are roms rooted by default and others (like official) that you have to root them. So as repair/update install a rom in your phone, its up to the rom if it will be rooted or not.
I'm looking for an app instead of stock contacts too but without success.
I'm having some troubles with my contacts sync with my facebook and google accounts.

Hi all,
Just got my unlocked HTC Magic yesterday. Purchased in Malaysia.
However, there is no access to android market (not installed on phone).
The gmail contact sync, google calander sync is also not there. anyone can help me with this?
You could always go here for your apps. Sorry can't help with the Google stuff.

You could always try to follow one of the guides, and do a genaric reflash on the rom? Is yours a google, or htc? Easiest way to find out is to check the battery cover, if it says google or htc on it. From there, if what Clinton wrote doesn't work out, just find a guide in the development subforum, and go from there.
mine is the HTC branded one. the thing is, i am not really sure on how to proceed with reflashing the ROMs. tried reading the quides but there are some things i don't understand.
Well if you want to flash a rom you'll need to figure out which SPL your phone uses, see if it's flashable. Here's a list of the SPLs for the Magic. And Here's the guide I would fallow to do the ROM Flash and backup.
Clinton
thanks..reading up and i am starting to understand a little. will try it out later. downloading the files now (SDK,recovery,ROM)

Yes, I'm. I afraid I can offer very limited help as I don't own a magic, just helping my wife to get her full access to all google services.
I guess as long as adb and fastboot works well on your laptop, thing should be pretty straightforward. As a precaution, don't try rom that 've no positive feedback from other forum user or if you are not sure whether it is for your model ( there are 2 version of magic - pvt32a and pvt32b, the malaysia version is pvt32a ). Finally, flashing radio and spl could be dangerous, definitely not for beginner.

Low

Fews more things to add:
* the daldroid rom include both google services and microsoft exchange client. note that some of the rom out there doesn't include the htc exchange client.
* you will have to manually enter apn ( for 3g access ) after you flash your phone so do note your current apn setting down.
* backup your current rom using nandroid before flash
* a tricky thing here is the sdcard doesn't immediately comes online when you fastboot your phone, sometime u have to wait for a minute.
* the first boot after flash is very slow, be patient ( read somewhere that can use adb logcat to monitor the progress, not sure but u can try ).
i see. that is probably why i can't get the backup to work. thanks. really helpful there.
I see, thanks for the info. i take the daldroid ROM then. having both google and exchange is good for future use. Do i need to reflash the the radio and spl if i take the daldroid ROM?
Success. managed to load dildroid ROM. all working so far
Thanks to aniteshj for suggesting the reflash. and ClintonH and Hengsin for the useful useful links.
and props to the tireless people behind the guides, the ROM, the fastboots. all of you rock.
Hey, I'm a complete noob so expect this to be full of childish errors :L
So, I've got a few questions about de-branding my Wildfire
1, If I choose to debrand my phone would this mean i lose all the apps ive downloaded? And bookmarked network websites, for example 3UK gives you a link to its My3 page where you can view account details, would i still be able to access that?
2, If I did de-brand it would i be able to install Android 2.2 on it? I've seen that quite a few people have got it apparently and was just wondering how...
3, Is there an idiot proof guide out there to de-branding a wildfire? :L
Cheers
Hi ,
here are some answers :
1. Yes will you loose all apps and settings (+contacts +sms) if you upgrade your rom. BUT you can make a nadroid backup off all your custom apps and settings and restore them after upgrading.
2. 2.2 aka FROYO is not available until today. if it hit the market you will get it first via ota for an unbranded phone.
3. Look here at the forum -> Debrand htc wildfire - please help
Steps i done for unbranding & upgrade :
1. Root Wildfire with UNREVOKED3
2. Made NADROID Backup in Recovery-Mode
3. Made a Goldcard.
4. Flash HTC ROM from Shipped-Roms (in my place Version 1.25 WE , before 1.24 Vodafone)
5. Root Wildfire with UNREVOKED3 again
6. Restore DATA and SETTINGS (NADROID Advanced Restore -> Restore DATA)
For all steps you will find some detailed informations here at the forum.
Hmmm I see...
Apparently custom roms start getting easier to make when ota updates come out, if I was to use one if them would I still lose my stuff? My mate seems to have a new rom every other day for his hero and I don't think he loses any apps... So new questions lol,
Is there any easy ways to get a new rom? I've seen the wildpuzzle rom forum and it looks complicated as hell (bare in mind I have no experience in these matters lol)
And is there any way to back up all paid apps, normal apps, contacts and messages?
Cheers again

Hey there,
my girlfriend got an Wildfire yesterday.
But unfortunately it is a branded version (German provider 1&1)
and she would like to have a unbranded ROM.
But we've got some questions we hope you could answer.
1. Will she be able to get the official froyo by an "on-air"-update
with an unbranded rom?
2. She definitely wants her phone to be in german, so she needs a RUU WWE ROM, right?
3. Which apps, widgets and stuff is integrated into the RUU WWE ROMS?
4. Will she find less apps in market with a "self-unbranded" wildfire?
5. Does the Facebook and twitter connection to her contacts still work?
thanks
Hello,
if you only want a "stock" unbranded rom, you should use :
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
It includes all HTC Stuff, like the 1&1 Rom, also with German support.
She will find the same apps in market.
You have to root your phone before you can upgrade your phone with the exe above.
Also, you need a goldcard for upgrade. Search forum . There a some threads about debranding.
After Rooting you can make a full backup of your current rom & apps via nadroid.
Than you can flash your phone withe the goldcard. In case the settings and apps are lost, you can restore the apps & settings only via nadroid -> backup/restore -> advanced -> restore data only. Also , you can restore you 1&1 complete rom via nadroid.
Look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864580
great thanks.
I already made a GoldCard and I'll try to flash the rom tonight.
Hi i bought this phone yesterday and it is carrier locked to SMART Telecom Philippines.. can someone tell me how to debrand/unlock the phone making it usable with other simcards? Thanks
Hi!
I have the same question of the title: I bought a X8 branded by "3". I just wanted to know HOW to debrand it, I don't need to flash any custom rom actually, I just want try the phone with the original generic firmware, but without any "signs" of my operator.
If I just connect the phone to computer and try to reinstall the firmware with PC Companion, it will not debrand it, isn't it? Do I previously need to root the phone and then flash it with the original firmware downloaded somewhere else?
Thank you for answering, I really appreciate your help, I'm very new to the beautiful Android world!
Have a look here
Thank you , but I asked for a different thing, I don't want to unlock the phone removing the operator lock, I just want to DEbrand it, removing any images, apps, other stuffs related to my provider. I want a "clean" X8, like if I bought it without any SIM
change ROM

you can do that by using another ROM. I had an X8 with stock android 2.1 and now it's android 2.2.9, fully functional. No trace of operator , of course.
Thi will not unlock your phone.
DougTheModder,
you can grab original no-brand SE ROM 2.1.1.C.0.0 here
I'm using it on my phone ex-3-ITA-branded (like yours).
I have a HTC Desire HD on UK Vodafone bought from Phones4U so am assuming its unlocked.
I want to use HTC sense 3.0 Rom but dont know what i need to do to the phone to install it.
I read on here and on Youtube about rooting. Is rooting a way of hacking the phone so that other Roms can be installed ?
Also do i need to do anything else before i do rooting ?
The phone is running HTC Sense 2.1 Andriod 2.3.3, i heard that i need to downgrade that to Froyo in order to root the phone. Is that Correct ? Gingerbread runs better then Froyo ?
If i do all the rooting/install new rom will i have to back up all apps/pics/music/contacts etc ? When i updated from Froyo to Gingerbread i didnt lose any of that.
If i decide to sell the phone at a later date i can do a restore so that its sold as stock software ?
I'm just off to bed and saw your message.
Rooting is like making yourself the administrator and you can do anything you want with the device including installing custom roms and software.
You should backup/save your original default rom.
You should use a program like APN Backup & Restore to backup your default carrier APN -which is the login and password etc. for your data connection. (Then you delete the custom rom apns and restore your own. This makes sure you continue to use the correct info and don't affect your billing, data charges etc.)
I recommend keeping pics and stuff on your SDCard where they should remain untouched. So use a program to backup all of that stuff.
You do need to downgrade. If you save the stock rom then you can restore it when you sell the phone. Make sure you save it as completely stock (after a reset or something) as opposed to saving it with other of your information.
I'm falling asleep (3:00 AM) - go visit my site http://grantbarker.com/htc-desire-hd.html
Look to the right - XDA Guides.
There should be enough info to help and inspire you too, with plenty of custom rom links etc.
If it helps you, please give me a Thanks if you have a Thanks button yet on your account.
See you.
