Hey guys, my phone comes with the folleong firmware - LG-E900AT-00-V10b-505-02-OCT-07-2010
I live in a country not described in the following thread ( Fiji, yep, i live in fii, but i bought the phone from australia, but will use it in fiji)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
So any suggestions to which one i should flash it to?
ok, so no one has any feedback? :C what about this, anyone here flashed a phone bought from Australia or New Zealand and flashed it to Europe Open?
hey guys one more question, the roms on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
if i was to flash to one of those, will i get mango applied with it or is that a separate procedure i have to do? i am so confused
flash with the one you feel more comfortable with, go for an open rom, it will work with any operator in any country of this world.
hey thanks for geting back to me, just the second question still lingers, does this upgrade my phone to mango as well or is this just a 'bios' upgrade?
if i was to use the australian optus firmware, will the phone become locked to that carrier?
i know these are basic questions, but i thought i would check before i flash cos i dont want to brick anything
took the dive and flashed to australian optus. worked awesome, thanks
just incase anyoneis interested in knowing, i dont have any battery issue with this mango upgrade and it didnt lock my phone to any carrier

i just signed up to the forum and need some help. i have been searching posts and have not found the right answer just other ones close to it.
i recently purchased a used HTC magic (vodafone UK) and it has been modded. i'm looking to return it back to it's original form with the factory vodafone software/firmware that it came with or the most recent version that it is currently updated to.
another question i have is that the phone is currently unlocked... so if i return it to it's original vodafone condition will it lock the phone back to UK only or will i still have an unlocked phone ?
i know you are all going to say "why ?!!?!" it's so much better rooted and modded. but to be honest, i'm not into the modding scene and i know i will eventually sell this phone so would just rather have it factory.
if someone could email me the rom and point me to a step by step instruction that would be greatly appreciated.
thanks !

If you unroot, you will still have a subsidy unlocked phone.
Hi!
I'm completely new to WP7. I bought a HTC Trophy last week that unfortunately is branded with Vodafone. I live in Sweden and bought it from a company here in Sweden who take the devices from Europe. I don't know the exact country. I guess it is a Vodafone device from German since the pdf manual on the CD is German.
My questions:
1. How can I be sure that I choose the correct ROM?
2. If I choose wrong, will I brick my device?
3. Debranding. I guess it's a one time procedure? If I debrand it I will get the updates directly from Microsoft and the device is still debranded after a update?
By the way. Great forum! Developers, keep up the excellent work!
Regards
-- Daniel

1. Go to Settings -> System -> About -> More info
Find your operator here from this thread
Then you need to find appropriate ROM for your device.
2. It should not let you flash wrong ROM even if you try. Update utility check your phone model and CID. So it should be safe.
3. If you unbrand your device, you will still get updates from MS, and from HTC. If you for some reason want to install branded ROM later, you can do that at any time (if there is a branded ROM for your device), check here.
i am going to use this thread to post a question. After battling with wm 6.5 for more than an year i went to wp 7. I am new to the operating system and i wan't to know if there is any real need to go for a different Rom than the one that came with my device. Is there a need to unbrand the phone?

Well, for me personally I unbranded my phone mostly for two things.
1. The annoying Vodafone page that I came to when pressing search button in Internet Explorer.
2. In the future I hopefully get the updates as soon as Microsoft releases it. When branded I had to wait for Vodafone to test the update.

I'm actually planning to buy a WP7.. wondering does it same as winmo which we dont nid Rooting ? or it is like Android or iOS tat we nid rooting/JailB ? thanks..
Debranding has nothing with jailbreak to do. I'm not sure if jailbreak is possible on latest WP7 release. For me jailbreak isn't an option. Just wanted to get rid of all Vodafone stuff in my device.
Okay, so I bought the Huawei X1 phone, which is a great little phone.
But, it wasn't long before I started to tinker with it, and in the process I lost the stock Telecom rom and ended up having to flash with an Aussie version.
The problem I'm having though, is that nearly all roms I've found so far will not register properly on the network, and as far as I found out, it's because these all came from 900mhz providers and not the 850mhz like XT.
So heres what I would like somone to do f they are keen enough...
Use SuperOneClick to root their phone.
Install RootToolBox.
Flash with recovery-RA-u8160-v2.3 (you may need a file manager like ES file manager)
Power off then on holding both power button and volume up until recovery menu comes up.
Perform a nand backup of boot, system, and data and then...
Please please please upload the files somewhere for me!
Thanks.
Or if anyone has the U8180 Telecom New Zealand rom, can you please upload?
I've tried getting it from wiki.modaco.com Huawei_Firmware_U8180
But none of the links work, or I can't figure out how to get them working.
You've got the wrong forum mate...This forum section is for U8800 - X5 and what you've got is Huawei Ideos X1 - U8180.
Yeah I know, but for some reason I can't find the right forum?
Able to point me in right direction?
You owe me a beer for this

Not really mate, those roms are the reason my phone is now stuck on the 900mhz version baseband and not the 850mhz version like I need for telecom.
I'm desperate for the NZ telecom version!
Ups, sorry mate, wasn't aware that NZ is 850mhz.
Can you not change the baseband in *#*#4636#*#* menu?

You are confused, the baseband has nothing to do with the 3G frequency, you cannot change a frequency because it is in the hardware not software.
My question is: did it worked before the update? (im assuming that you are talking about 3G frequency bands)
Sent from my U8800Pro using XDA App
Oh I guess I am confused?
Yes it did work before the update.
And no I don't see an option to change anything in the menu.
How would I go about repairing this?
Maybe contact Huawei NZ? via http://huaweimobile.co.nz
I tried that yesterday.
Got some angry little asian man who wanted to know how I flashed the phone and was no help at all
Noticed before that the phone model isn't actually U8180, but rather U8180-7...
I'm guessing there may be a hardware change for NZ?
Can anybody point me to more info on basebands and whatnot?
I don't really understand it all, I was under the impression that baseband=operating frequencies?
Why don't you take it back to Telecom shop and see if they can flash it back? I doubt you'll have much luck on this forum as it's for a totally different phone that runs on only 2D and Vodafone in NZ
you'd be fine if the Huawei links weren't broken, all the links I've tried for multiple models are broken. Keep an eye on them they might come right soon.
Flashed it with U8150 firmware for a laugh, going back to shop today :S
hey there -
I've got the U8180-7 NZ Telecom version if you want - uploading it now to mediafire and will post it in a bit.
Will you return the favor ? I need to purchase a couple of these phones in NZ and have them shipped out to me. But haven't found a way to do that yet.. nobody seems to want to ship overseas or even have DHL pick on my expense from their shop..
rgds,
pirh
Update: seems I can't yet post outside links.. PM me for the link
Hey Luke, check out geekzone:

They have been working on CM7 for the telecom x1 so maybe their port will work

Hey do you still have the U8180-7 NZ Telecom version rom, I need it as I have done the same thing haha, can't find the correct one anywhere -.-
i have a galaxy s which i flashed to remove t-moble branding, now not sure why but i can't get wifi working so want to go back to stock firmware. the problem is which is the correct version for me.
my phone is galaxy s gt-i9000 and was originally locked to to t-mobile UK. i'm looking on the stock firmware and odin guide but i haven't got a clue which one is suitable. i've also got a message in kies saying that 'your device does not support software upgrading via kies'.
please can someone advise me how to get the phone working correctly again? don't care if i have to go back to t-mobile branding as look as it works with wifi.
Hi Rincal...
first question.. did you have your galaxys unlocked to make it sim free by a shop or market seller.. if you havent.. this will cause problems, so make sure you get that done.. its about £15.
2nd) The latest stock firmware is 2.3.6.. the xda team have Eu stock ROM threads.. look in "development", but if you cant find it.. use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 - although i think there will be a newer version out now.. in the PIT folder, use PIT-512.
Here is a full abc flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Follow it to the letter, this is how I learned.. even though Ive had no problems, you flash your sgs rom at your own risk.. make sure you read it through first before you flash anything and always backup your data 1st.
Please note: This is not my work.. please thank and respect the xda teams named in the threads.
If anyone reading this thread can give better guides or links, please point the way
Good luck

hi NightOrchid
i used a market app called galaxy s unlock to unlock it myself. it was working find after that, the problems started after rooting and flashing.
i'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome. i've already tried flashing with a few firmwares but always have the wifi problems. should say that apart from wifi and kies the rest of the phone seems to work ok with other firmwares.
I need your help to answer a few questions about changing my i9505 ROM. I have now BMG7 (Orange Romania) ROM and i want to update it to the last German firmware BMGA(this is the last one right?) My phone is branded(it has orange applications, orange boot logo etc...) and it is locked(i purchased it with subscription).
My question is if i update it to the BMGA firmware(stock one, from sammobile) will i lose the warranty? If i lose it i can put the BGM7 firmware back before going to the shop, right?
The second very important question is: if i put BMG7 back ( also the official version of sammmobile for orange romania) before going to the shop will i have the orange apps, the boot logo etc. back?
And also what i want to know is if the phone will be locked again in the carrier... Because if it is unlocked(after i upgrade it to the German firmware) i guess the guys from the shop will figure out that i changed the rom or something..
Thank you

It's ok...i was scared that after flashing the latest german firmware my phone will be unlocked and i dont want that.
I think tomorrow i will flash it because i'm quiet now.
When i will go to the shop i will flash back the Orange RO firmware and my phone will have the orange apps back and it will be locked like now. Right?
