Hi Guys,
I am currently downloading the new Froyo version for the HTC Legend, I have never rooted/unlocked the phone, it is kind of new, only a couple of weeks old (purchased in Vodafone, Spain, but using it in Tigo, Colombia).
So, my question is, If i install this new version, do i need to unlock it again? i mean, purchase another unlock code? Or it just continue working normally?
What do you think guys?
Please let me know!
Camilo
Nope, you're good to go. I updated my unlocked/unbranded Legend.
Great! thanks a lot!
Hi!
Since I'm new and couldn't post in the development forums, I'll ask here.
What is the difference between debranding an Optimus 7 via the MFG app and flashing the device to an "EU Open"-firmware? I've done it through the MFG app and while it still says Vodaphone under Carrier in the About menu, I received all updates right after the debranding was done. Does this mean that future updates for my phone only go to the manufacturer and back?
If you debrand your phone with a new firmware, the phone became a real No-Brand; no logo, no icon, no customized options. If you "debrand" only via mfg, all these thing remain but the server recognise the device like nobrand and update it.
I have an other question: Can i debrand my LG Optimus 7 with Win7 x64? I only read that everone use XP. Also, if I debrand it with the mfg app, will the update to mango debrand it 100%?
first question: yes i'have done it yet. (use all program as administrator)
second question: no, debrand via mfg only force the update of OS but the firmware still the same after this.
hello, how can i debrand my Optimus 7? I have the orange logo at startup and i want to remove it...
Thanks in advance
just use the search button, and u will find it.
Hi all,
I'd like to go further in this question.
Orange FR (my carrier) is about to remove one or two good things from the Mango update (Tethering for example).
If I debrand my phone using MFG, will the fact of changing from Nodo to Mango completely enable me to get a complete free firmware?
I understand that an update from a version of Nodo to another version of it is just a kind of update. But as the change from Nodo to Mango is major, do we know if the ROM will be completely changed?
Hi!
I have a HTC Surround, with a DFT Custom ROM.
SO version: 7713.WM7_Main(DFT).20110803-0252
Firmware: 2250.21.15204.DFT
Hardware: 0003
Radio Softaware: 5.51.09.06_22.30.50.09U
Radio Hardware: A.26.0.D4
Boot loader: 1.52.2250.4(120323) (HSPL)
Chip: 2.2.5.0
And I would really like to get back to the official HTC ROM, so I've downloaded this one:
RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22 .30.50_RELEASE.exe
My question is, can I just flash it normally?
HSPL won't be a problem?
What I need to do to get back to the original ROM without bricking my phone?
Thanks!

Thanks!
It worked!
Original AT&T ROM now
hi.. please can u give me some answers?
i bought an HTC Surround three days ago, I'm from Brazil, and I bought it on a Website... it was new.. in the original box and all... it probably came from the USA, since there's no original version of htc surround here in my country...
i'm going through a problem though. i first saw when i turned on my phone, that it was with a 'Dark Team Forces' logo.. and indeed i did my 'homework' and saw it is a custom rom... the problem is that with this rom, the Volume only works at 100!
i dont know why, the alarms dont work too, and this is causin me problems... i really liked the phone, its totally amazing, but this thing that the volume only works at 100 is terrible... if i decrease it to 99,98,97, doesn't mather, the sound just doesn't come out.
There is my doubt. I'm wanting to Downgrade it to the Original WP7 rom... the original system, but I'm afraid that If i'd do it, i wouldn't be able to use my SIMCARD normally as I'm doing now, with the brazilian's phone providers...
I'm very used to Android, but about WP7 I'm an advanced beginner haha...
How could I do the flashing anyway? What's the programs, the roms, what do I do? I'd appreciate your help, really.
Thank you everybody from XDA.

Friend thank you for the fast answer.
I'm really in trouble and needing help. hehehe.
As I am very 'newbie' at this topic, could you please be more specific in the stuff u said?
I mean, I didn't even know that there were such websites like u said that can 'unblock' the SIM... could u give me any example?
And about the ROM you said, do you know where I can find it, any clue or link to guide me there?
And about flashing, this isn't a big problem, i believe i can find tutorials of flashing with WP7 here in XDA...
Sorry if I'm asking too much, but I really need it!!
Thanks a lot my friend!
linkinbrr , I had the EXACLTY same problem!
I'm brazilian too!
I bought it from Mercado Livre (like Ebay).
I just installed the orignal ROM and it works fine now!
I could update all the way to mango afterwards.
But now i'm using another custom ROM, it's not from DFT, it works really great.(It's unlocked)
Here it goes!

you could flash the OEM ROM on it then if it is still SIMlocked you could unlock it via one of the many unlocker websites online.

Flashing or downgrading didn't relocked my sim for me.
hi all, i have a trophy with 8107 and with spl 5.12. i wanted to install greek language, succeded but the only problem i currently have is that i need to developer unlock it so that i can install touch explorer or somehow to send the xml for camera settings to the windows folder, cause i dont have camera settings in the greek language.. any help would be gratefull. As far as i see and from the search i'm doing 2 days now, i don't think i can do anything for the device. the only think i didn't try is the goldcard method, cause i don't have the cables. If someone has a stable solution for this, that could save me a lot of time and searching.. thank you.
Even if you downgrade the SPL, you will have to flash an entire rom to gain the features you require. You could attempt interop unlock, but your system and drivers on the phone may be too new.
You might be able to use ansar's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417849
First, you flash his SPL rom, and then flash an old rom from your carrier (if you have the unlocked/unbranded HTC Trophy, this is easy). Then you would install DFT's HSPL.
If you are going to go that far though, I'd recommend building a GoldCard. Try using the new newb friendly method of building a GoldCard. The links to the hardware are US links to parts, but finding the parts in Europe should be easy enough (and you don't need to cut/make cables or do weird things to SD cards).
i have almost the same situations, i have 8107, spl 5.12 and i want to downgrade to 1.x
i'm from portugal and my phone is locked to Vodafone. the only problem is that i discovered that it's Vodafone_ELL so the method of flashing SLSPL, is out of question, i think. what can i do to solve this ? i want to flash 8773 on my trophy and unlock it !
Your solution is to either find an older stock rom from your carrier for your phone, or to use GoldCard to flash the oldest original Trophy rom for Euro unlocked/unbranded Trophy (which will also change your phones MID to the unlocked Euro model). Then you'd manually install any other language packs the phone needs.
And no, I have no clue where to get a rom that'd work on your carrier. If its not in footballs rom thread, I don't know where to look or who to ask. You can get the original Euro unbranded roms there though.
simply just flash an older ROM ?
if it fails to install i can just install the ROM that i have?
The GoldCard method is something that i consider risky, but if it is the best way, i will have to do it !
Can i flash my trophy with this -> Vodafone_ELL, New Branded ROM RUU_Spark_Vodafone_ELL_1.10.162.06_Radio_5.52.09.1 6_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar ??
You can give it a shot. Worst that can happen is your SPL will fail to downgrade.
Goldcard method is FAR from risky though (just WAS difficult to build manually.. hence that guide I suggested.. its easy following that guide). Its a fantastic way to flush your phone of HSPL and return your phone to true stock for warranty work. It seems to hi-jack some official diagnostic mode from HTC.
In earlier post, instead of MID I meant CID. If your going to use that ELL rom, build a GoldCard and use that instead. This new guide makes it far easier to do and no cutting/building wires and weird hacking tools that are difficult to use. You just buy the parts, plug them together, and format a sd-card with the software in the post! Using this method, you can unbrand your trophy, which will let you use the ELL rom for flashing.

No matter what you do, just try to avoid the Interop Unlock XAP. I installed it few months ago and the phone refused after that to connect to my vodafone network. I had to give it to HTC maintenance to change the whole board.

interop xap? Oh... you had trouble reconnecting to your data... That is fixable with the fixed xap they released afterwards... a custom rom is just so much easier the doing all that manual interop crap.. I really don't understand why so many people do it vs custom roms.
I think its much easier to flash a custom rom via HSPL and have a GoldCard set aside in case to flash a total stock rom in case you need to send the phone in for warranty work. I do see where that is a problem if you don't have a stock rom for your carrier branded phone (unbranded Trophy and the USA Verizon Trophy got it easy vs the misc smaller Euro carriers).
Hi All,
My wife has a HTC Spart/Trophy, it would be nice having W7.8 on it, little tiles etc.
But, it is not possible flashing a rom or downgrade rom on it, it always stuck on 0%
It was a Vodafone one but she can use all other operators on it, i think it is not CID locked (more operators)
There is a 5.xxx bootloader on it, who know's how to flash?
htc spark can't flash
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me.

Also i can't use Marketplace.(it's in your country not available)
