Hey guys, I don't s'pose someone who's debranded from vodafone would be kind enough to upload there backup copy of the replaced files?! My computer was kind enough to delete my back ups >_<
Any help would be great
Which? UK? Germany? Netherlands? They are different...
My apologies, should have said. I'm after the UK Vodafone generic files.

Yes.
SE PC Suite doesn't work with the X10. Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0 does though.
You are able to back your messages up to a SD card and sync your contacts to google. However, i am not sure about the application side of things.

Uhm i'm not quite sure what that has to do with the generic files i'm after. Just so that if need ever arise i can re-brand the phone.
I have a copy of the Vodafone UK firmware files.
Let me know if these are ones you need?
Yes they are and i would be very grateful for them :-D

Hi,
there's a new upgrade for orange tattoos but i can't download it. Someone can test it and confirm what all people think??
htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=292&cat=2&dl_id=948
Sorry my english
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=599711&page=17
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

Sent from my HTC Tattoo
Just tested it.
1) Backed it up existing rooted 1.67.405.xx with Nandroid
2) Upgraded with ROM Upgrade for HTC Tattoo (Orange)
3) Applied UNLOCK code bought from Orange UK which worked fine with new ROM
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.
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?

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

Hi all, new here
I'm in Australia with the Samsung Omnia 7.
I bought phone online from someone who won it in an Optus competition (Optus being the carrier here).
The phone is unlocked to any network but for about 3-5 seconds upon the phones startup, there is a branded Optus logo that is displayed.
I want it GONE.
What's the best way to do this? I'm running the original firmware, not the new leaked one. I'm also not game to flash to the leaked newer firmware as Samsung hasn't released it officially and I've heard some Aussies have had some issues after doing it.
What's the safest way I can remove this start-up logo branding? Thanks!
change to a different firmware, vol up+camera+power button > download mode> samfirmwares.com firmware(unbranded)! Thats currently the only possibility.
What about by editing a registry entry or something?
I'm not prepared to "upgrade" to that firmware until Samsung releases it (if they do).
They probably haven't for a reason.
try chevron unlocker, install registry explorer search and share!
Is chevron unlocker going to change something about my device I can't reverse? I want full control of any testing I do.
sorry for late reply, the firmware file consists of lot parts (Phone, csc,eboot,pda), modifying a specific file in the archive may remove the startup logo.Just search wiki for answers about the significance of each part.Or better still, wait for the update release by MS see if it changes anything! Chevron won't help!
Most users have upgraded to the firmware available at samfirmware.com I too running omnia 7 t-mobile uk version unbranded by downloading I8700XENJK1. Have had no issues so far!
Any updates on this with new unlocking methods etc..?
I'd really like that start up pic gone if I can!

No, like has already been said, the only way to get rid of this is to re-flash the device. You should be able to only flash parts of it though which would leave the OS (and all apps, settings etc) intact. I'm guessing it's the bootloader image that includes the logo you're seeing, so would start there.

Do you have anyway to do this? There's no tool I've heard of which can replace specific parts of the ROM?
It's a full reflash or nothing, I think.

For now it is. Even with WinMo 6.5 we had to flash the 2nd start up screen. Then we had full access to the core of OS. Right now we dont. So only way to get rid of it is to flash a brand free rom issue by samsung and not a carrier
Any updates on this now?
Anyone know a registry key that is associated with the start up logo?

Are you absolutely certain about this? The ROM comes in parts and I would assume we could flash only part 1 or 2 if we so wanted?

There IS NO registry key for this. The boot logo is displayed long before the OS has even started booting.
I've also installed the firmware from samfirmware.com and I've had no issues at all. I've managed to update to Pre-NODO and NODO without any pain (apart from having to use the Hungarian Hack to get NODO early).
I've seen no downsides from my perspective.
The only risk I can see is that no carriers will have tested WP7 against this firmware until it's officially released by Samsung.
if you have a 4.10.1.9 bootloader, there's no possibility to change your rom....forget it.
right now, this bootloader fail to upgrade... no download mode ability at omnia 7

Hello everyone, Im new to the site. I too purchased, what I thought to be unbranded, a mobile over the internet that was branded with T-Mobile Germany. Im in Australia. I can use my Optus SIM Card. But what was worrying me is what affects a branded phone (especially from another country) would have on me and my usage, especially with the new Mango update.
Now unless someone can tell me that it really doesnt make any difference to how the phone will work, I want it unbranded for safety sake. That being said, my quote above, This firmware, obviously it sounds custom and not official. If I install this firmware, any Windows Update up until this point (Not Mango), will it still install via zune? and will it take on the Mango update when thats out?
Thanks guys

I believe samfirmware just releases leaked firmware. They are therefore all "official" in a sense and the unbranded ones should just be firmware for the unbranded devices.
If you're using a branded phone, the official updates will roll out when the original carrier certifies it. Apart from that and the boot branding, there shouldn't be many differences.

Branded won't make any difference to your experience. But you can flash the unbranded ROM it's easy enough and you should still get the Mango update.
So?
