[no matter what my phone is always roaming..it says sprint even though my carrier is CLARO, (again) but had sprint rom]
OK, i found out what my problem is
it hs to do with me using a carrier in this country, and i flashed my rom with a sprint rom
something about ERI, i have generic v8 wm6.5 rom, thought that would fix it but no,
so, i was thinking.
so i need original stock rom from htc vogue and then flash to generic rom?
someone help me here i need to fix the always roaming i cant get cals without having to call an operator.
so, if im right i just need the vogue stock rom?

Didn't solve my problem.
Phone is still always roaming =/
And my carrier IS NOT sprint.
i can't call/sms/connect to anything its always roaming =(
Today I bought a Wildfire that has a branded OS by Telstra, I don't like a lot of the extras and startup screens and junk that is there. So I rooted the phone and flashed it with that popular Puzzlerom but I didn't really like it so I recovered back to my original from a backup. Is there anyway for me to flash it with the latest official ROM from HTC or get rid of the branding on my current Telstra ROM?
So I've done some searching, I found some references to getting the official HTC ROM from Shipped-ROMS. I couldn't find anything on the website, but when looking at the website index directories I found the Buzz folder but I don't know which HTC ROM to download. I want the latest one and I'm not really sure what the difference in versions numbers are as there are so many and all of them are pre-dated before the 2.2 release and I don't know if there is a difference in Radios and I don't want to upgrade to the latest version and have my phone not picking up reception and not being able to possibly revert it as I don't know if 2.2 is rootable.
I'm also unsure If I can simply run the official WWE .exe if my phone is rooted without some kind of corruption.
If somebody could give me a quick guide or point me to a thread which could help.
In a nut shell my situation is:
Telstra Branded Firmware Version: 2.1-update1.
Software number: 1.21.841.3
Kernal: 2.6.28-543e5f81
Rooted
Need to unbrand and get latest official HTC rom.
I too am interested in a fix for this?
cheers
Turns out I'm actually really stupid.
In the Development subforum people post the official ROM and safe .zip versions of it too -_-.
Debrand Telstra Wildfire
Am curious about doing this the Telstra firmware is quite annoying not to mention god knows when Android 2.2 will become available. I have tried all the RUU update i can find none work, get either error 130 or 140... main problem seems to be the model id of my phone is incorrect. I currently have 2.1-update1, baseband 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10, software number 1.30.841.1. Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of the Telstra firmware in favour of the standard HTC?

have you tried this one?
Its Froyo by the way
Or browse in here:

I bought a Telstra Wildfire before Xmas and used the follwoing procedure to debrand it to a stock HTC ROM.
The Wildfire came with ROM ver 1.21. I upgraded it to 1.37. See http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/ for a list of the HTC roms. I used http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe as it is the most recent one that can still be rooted. The next one is Froyo (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe) however if you flash this one you will not be able to root it unless someone works out how to at some time in the future.
Firstly you will need to root the phone using Unrevoked (http://unrevoked.com/#wildfire).
Secondly create a goldcard (http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/)
The goldcard is necessary as, even though the phone has been rooted, the upgrade program will note that the CID in the phone is for Telstra and you are installing a non-Telstra ROM. You will get an error without the goldcard. The goldcard will override this detection and allow stock HTC and custom ROMS to be installed on your phone. Once you have installed the new stock HTC ROM using the goldcard, the goldcard will not be required for future stock ROM upgrades. It may not be required for upgrades to custom ROMS either but someone else may be able to verify this as I have not tried them.
Some people have had trouble getting the goldcard to work using thrid party SD cards. If you use the one that came with the phone you will not have trouble. The only problem with this is, as part of the unrevoked rooting, you will probably have done an nandroid backup which will dump backup files on the card so that you can restore your original ROM if you wish. I skipped this backup as shippedroms has the standard Tesltra 1.21 rom on their site (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe) so that you can restore the phone to standard if required.
Thirdly, install the stock ROM (http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buz...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe) with the goldcard in the phone.
This will unroot your phone but you can re-root it again as you did in the first step above.
You can upgrade to Froyo but read the posts under the Wildfire Android Development section of these forums so that you understand the disadvantages of doing so. Many have been to quick to upgarde and have been caught out!
I am going to wait until unrevoked can root Froyo before I install it.
Has anyone tested that the phone can still communicate at 850mhz after running this process?
The phone I ran this on still works at 2100mhz, but lost 850mhz, which more renders a Telstra wildfire useless (Unless you're a city dweller with ample 2100 coverage)
Is it possible that the radio firmware flashed in with the european image (which is of course designed for the 900/2100 radio) does not work properly with the hardwre in this phone? I've done a lot of searching on this subject and have come up completely empty!
Hey guys,
I bought Eclair Wildfire Telstra-branded only weeks ago, straight away rooted it and installed Sunaabh ROM (a stable, stock-like Froyo ROM). Apart from Telstra splash screen (unable to remove because we have S-On) it is debranded of course. I dunno what you mean about the radio stuff, but I live in faaaaarrrr west Sydney (Wallacia) which is pretty much country and I get 3G. Is that full NextG speed...? I really don't know!
Do NOT install official 2.2 update! It will remove root and install the new, currently unrootable HBOOT!
EDIT: What is this goldcard nonsense? Do your research! Unrevoked3 installs the Clockworkmod recovery and you can then flash ANYTHING.

I think by now I can say there's 2 ways of debranding a Wildfire A3335:
What I did (don't do this anyone else!):
* Run a stock RUU. Fully fully debrands it (No telstra logos anywhere). Also replaces the radio firmware with an eurpoean version and destroys your phone's rural (850mhz) coverage
What you did (and what I should have done):
* Just replace the ROM. Leave the Radio firmware in place: End result: You still have a phone that works on 850mhz but you've also got an annoying telstra boot screen, and there's not a damn thing that can be done about it until S-OFF is figured out for Wildfire.

The Goldcard is for people who choose to run the HTC RUU upgrade process, as described by lemming999. As you just reflashed your ROM, it is expected that you would not require a Goldcard.
As per my post above. *** Do not run this unless you really don't care about your rural coverage ***
Ok - I've posted a solution for getting 850MHz 3G back again for anyone silly enough to do what I did. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11559059#post11559059

Is it possible that you have S-OFF as a result of flashing an RUU? I assume no, because there are no RUU packages which have an "Engineering" SPL included... right?
What about SIMLOCK? True debranding should remove the CID if you can share whether you can use non Telstra SIM cards now, I may pursue the Goldcard/RUU process myself!
I don't have S-OFF at the end of this. But the HTC RUU does have the ability by some means of magic to COMPLETELY debrand the phone (including the first boot screen) and ruin your radio in the process.
So now that I've managed to restore the Telstra radio, I have have a 100% unbranded, fully working A3335 while most people tend to be stuck with the telstra logo at the SPL.
If S-OFF was obtainable on wildfire I think this process would be a lot easier but I got the desired result in the end. Reflashing the radio is pretty dodgy. I've avoid it as if it goes wrong. Your phone is a doorstop.

Yes non telstra SIM cards work. Although, I bought the phone unlocked so I don't know how this came about. as for the CID, it may remain, it may not. I don't know how to tell. There's a fairly good chance it was nuked when I flashed with the Euro RUU.
Fair enough, thanks for the detail. I'm not fussed on SIMLOCK (no vodafone coverage out here anyway), was just curious.
In regards to s-off, it is determined by SPL which AFAIK every RUU has. But again, every PUBLIC RUU would have nandlock. But there are some Wildfire users here who do have s-off, and say they don't remember how they did it (they never noticed until down the track). Odd.

I would like to try the Adeo ROM but before I try flashing the phone
I would like to have the original Bell ROM so I can revert back the changes.
Does anyone have the original ROM?
Thanks
George
I see the "do not use on Bell atrix" has been removed from the page. Lemme know how she goes
As far as I know there is no release of Bell SBF. I can confirm the two SBF in the development session will not work on Bell Atrix.
Yea, I would like the bell stock firmware as well.
I accidently deleted one of the motoblur system apps and now my phone won't work.
Bell SBF
Just wondering those SBF files I see in the forums did they come from motorola? How did people get there hands on them?
Would be nice to have one for our Bell phones, knowing where the ATT guys got theres from might help.
I have a big problem...
I've deleted some files in /system/app and now the HOME and SEARCH buttons don't work. I don't have a backup (I know, I'm stupid) and I can't restore anything.
Please, could someone make a backup with recovery and then upload it for me?
IMPORTANT: I need a backup for the Motorola PRO european version, not for the Droid PRO.
You can install recovery with this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?g8l7vy0futbc4g5
Once you make the backup, you can find it in /sdcard/clockwordmod/backup.
Thank you very much!
i sent you a pm, chek it.
I've tried with an argentinean backup and it works but I can't set any APN. All works fine except the APN and now I can't enable the data connection.
Someone with the german vodafone PRO could make a backup, please?
I think is the only free way to solve my problem

I have an European droid pro (with qwerty, not qwertz). I've also an american droid pro (where the clockwordmod is ok!), but in a european pro i can't access to clockwordmod (bootstrap is ok, but when i reboot i can't see clocwordmod...).
I'll give you my backup, but i can't access to clockword...
Do you have any suggestions?

Don't worry, I've bricked my Motorola PRO and now I can't acces to recovery. I reboot the phone and it only shows the Motorola boot logo. I have a german version backup from an eBay user but now I can't do anything until we have the fuc**ng SBF file

There is still no Gingerbread for the Motorola Pro???? Are they planning on pushing a new ota gingerbread update or it will never happen? Motorola don't care about European/rest of the world customers????
There is not even a sbf file for the stock rom???
I searched all over, and there is no European forum for roms for the Motorola Pro. Why is that? Europeans don't develop roms? Only Americans do? Europeans only wait for the Americans to do things for them?

The american Droid is different than the european. Fisically are the same phone but internally are different. I don't know how the american people got the sbf file. I don't know how to get the european version either. You have to know that there is a newer version of the PRO, the Motorola PRO+, and it's possible that we don't have GB on the european PRO... never...

In Argentina we also have the Motorola Pro and I asked a Movistar Argentina representative and he told me that in a matter of weeks (maybe 1 or 2) we'll get the gingerbread update.About the sbf, I think it is a leak from Motorola. I am sorprised to see that there are some roms available for the Milestone 2 but none for the Pro. What is worst is that I don't see forums with roms in Europe. It seems that there are not developers interested in the Pro at all. I don't find even a category for the Pro in the most famous argentine forum grupoandroid.com and then when I looked in forums from Spain, France or Italy, there is even less. Anybody know of a good european forum with support for European phones?
Or is this thing about customizing phones, just an American thing?

In Italy (and I think in all the European country) the Motorola Pro is arrived just now but at an interesting price.
Personally I think that this phone it's more for business users and for this reason there wouldn't be many custom ROM and similar
MOTOROLA PRO+ (MB632, "Elway Plus")
Getting my MOTOROLA PRO+ (AKA: MB632, "Elway Plus", apparently...), on Monday, from the UK... Very disappointed to see that there is very little (practically nothing), about said device - and even about its predecessor the DROID PRO - but yet other "not-so-good" (but similar in a way) devices (ie: Samsung Cha-Cha), do even have custom ROMs available at this stage!
MOTOROLA PRO+ "Temp Forum"
Im hoping not to be contravening any rules here but since there is barely any info on the MOTOROLA PRO+ at the moment (not much info either on its predecessor MOTOROLA (DROID) PRO), I though all little bits of infor around (I have posted a few things in different places) could be gathered in one place - HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19973225#post19973225 ...at least until when (and if) a dedicated section is created for this device...
I've rooted my atrix from bell mobility and accidentally erase some important data. Phone still works but motoblur, the contacts and other options don't. I can do a upgrade to fix the problem. Does anyone know the steps on how to reinstall original firmware and were to get it.
