Hello. I just purchased a Cingular 8125/Wizard from ebay. The seller says that it is SIM and CID unlocked, so it should be ready to start flashing when I get it. The question I have is, I have been looking through the ROM Thread, and have come to the conclusion that mfrazzz's XDA Mobile 6 is currently installed. (I have not received the device yet, should have it by the end of this week) Please see attached picture and tell me if I am correct.
And just one more question, to the owners of a Wizard. I currently have a Dash/Excalibur and have flashed it with many ROM's with no problem. Looking through the forums, though, it seems the Wizard is a little more complicated. To the current owners, how hard is it to flash? And do you like the functionality of the machine? Which ROM would you recommend, as I know the XDA Mobile 6 is a little old. Also, if there are any T-Mobile users that are using the Cingular 8125 on the T-Mobile network, please some pointers.
Thanks, and I look forward to modding my Wizard.
Wow, 53 viewers and not one Wizard owner. Amazing. Or could it be you're ashamed to be a Wizard owner? I'm going back to the Excalibur forums. LMAO. Just kidding. I am just asking for a little input.
**UPDATE** I just received this funky little device today. Loaded SPB Mobile Shell on it, and think I am going to keep it that way. It looks fine the way it is. Super awesome. Now if I can just learn all the buttons, bells, and whistles.
I also set it up to work with the T-Mobile network. Data, Phone, SMS, and MMS all working fine now.

first search about bsb tweaks it is the most useful app for hd2 and keep away from using flash light applications as it may damage your camera flash with continous using ,finally upgrade to the official 1.66 roms from htc site it is better than any coocked rom till now and more stable. best wishes with your new device ,it is really a good device
Read <<THIS>> first as this will enable you to tap into the great work of the chefs who have redefined how the device should truely work....faster and better!

The HD2 I've bought is a brand new T-Mobile upgrade being sold off, does anyone know if T-Mobile HD2's come with a pouch?

I recall hearing that TMO don't supply the pouch (I'm only going off memory so I could be wrong).
charge phone then check if your phone has the latest Rom version , if not then upgrade.
After that read the tips and tricks thread
Actually, it works great out of the box.
Hi,
Please forgive me as I have been searching everywhere online and on the forum for my answer.
I have a HTC Legend (Virgin) that is unlocked - Running on Rogers.
1st Question: Is this phone Rootable? I have heard yes and I have heard no, based on the firmware that it is presently running.
2nd Question: Is it possible if the phone is rooted to flash a Basic 2.2 Android Rom (I personally don't use HTC Sense)
The reason I am asking as HTC Announced that 2.2 Will not be updated until Christmas time.
And Before anyone says I should have bought the NEXUS One - The reason - THE SIZE
That phone is huge, I previously had an Xperia X10, which was TOO Big and I quite like the build quality of the Legend.
Thanks for all your Help! I Greatly Appreciate it!
Yes the phone is rootable, but you're right it depends on what version you currently have installed. Check out the android development section to figure out what you can and can't do.
Froyo at christmas is incorrect.
Htc has said all current devices will have froyo before christmas. However speculation says the legend itself should most likely have it in or around august.
Next, if you manage to root your phone you can talk a look in the android development section(again) for the legend and you will find 1 or 2 froyo roms have been ported semi successfully. They work and run but have a few minor problems.
One is the cyogen mod 6 (I probably spelled it wrong)thread.
You cannot flash a stock version of froyo to the legend, you will have to use one of these roms.
Hope I could help. I'm looking at getting the virgin mobile legend myself soon. are you happy so far?
Thanks
Thanks for your info! I was just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info as I am not really up with all the lingo.
To answer your question about the Legend, I love it! The build quality is Superior, it just fits in your hand so nicely, and looks good there as well.
I have had MANY cell phones in the last 5 years (Well over 40...) and this is one that I know I will keep for a long time... More so than the iPhone.
Cheers.

Hey,
To be honest I took it to an Unlocking place in Vancouver, It took them aprox 20 min to complete, It still has a few Apps for Virgin/Bell on the phone however no where does it have the Virgin Logo Etc. I use the Rogers APN Settings rogers-core-appl1.apn and it works flawless with 3G
I have not been able to get 2.2 onto this phone at this point, I may just wait until it's pushed out by HTC.
This sounds GR8!
I'm waiting for my Legend to arrive any day, now...

Do You know what they did to the phone? To unlock it i mean....
I ordered Wildfire but changed my mind and changed the order to Legend...
A good choice i think...
Been using my KAISER for a looong time now and it's time for a retirement, i think
Just installed Donut Android on my KAISER but it soaks battery so i think i have to revert to WM 6.5 again....
I think i'll use it as a backup phone for some time
Does anyone know if tom tom works on Legend?
The unlock was done through the store so not quite sure on how it was completed. I have seen many websites that offer the unlock.
In regards to TomTom try the Google navigation. It's amazing. Works great and integrates with your contacts and the mapping program quite well. I find the voice to be quite rough. Hopefully they'll allow changes to that after its out is Beta.

Doesn't Google Navi go online to get positions?
Could be costly, wouldn't it
I'll try it out though
Tom Tom has the maps in map folder so no online search and so on....
regarding the unlock thingy i guess someone figures it out so we can do it ourselves
Maybe somewhat like the KAISER unlock i guess...

Where did you buy it?
I bought my legend at Virgin (349 CAD) and am running Rogers as well, to unlock it you need to purchased the unlock code from HTC by providing the phones S/N. Their are lots of places online that will provide the codes for $10-20, I haven't been able to find a free source.
Currently their is no software unlock for this phone.

Heard the n1 has already got froyo..i hope it wont be long for the legend & desire
I have the Virgin Mobile (Canada) HTC Legend and can confirm I was able to successfully unlock it for usage on Fido/Rogers. After this I upgraded the rom using a gold card to a stock HTC rom to remove the Bell/Virgin crapware.
After this I found the downgrade path to 1.31 which has successfully allowed me to have the phone rooted. Now I just need to wait for a good rom to be made with sense. So far all the roms I have tried do have their own issues like, camera problems, pinch zoom functionality...
I cant w8

Sounds good, Im going to grab myself one from Virgin soon, except they are all sold out in canada now i currently have a European version, run around edge only but i love it. By the way, where did you find the stock HTC rom?
I dont know how many people have branded desire HD's or how many would like a way of debranding there devices.
So this post if for me to see there is a need for such a thing.
So if there is enough people needing this i will look into if it can be donre and write a guide.
:-D
Please do a guide to help me remove the Vodafone bloatware on it
What can be done though at the moment besides from visionary temp root and pm disable?
if anyone with a branded device wants to test this method befor hand please join IRC : freenode channel #DesireHD
You will need a USB mircoSD card reader.
And THIS rom
Did you have a win? I also need info on removing my vodafone bloatware!! =)
i didnt think they had any branding on them? Im on t-mobile UK and cant see anything related to them.
Moved to Themes and Apps for now. Will keep an eye on it.
Cheers,

I'm definitely keen on getting rid of Vodafone bloatware (Australia) but I would like the option of reverting back to my current ROM simply because the warranty becomes void, the moment I flash a new ROM.
I haven't got a DHD, but i'm very interested in it. If i'm going to buy it, i think it will be branded (Vodafone GER). I don't know if the branding will disturb me, but i think updating an unbranded phone is still easyer and faster(!) (because downloading the update OTA or from HTCs page) as waiting for an update from the provider.
If you'll going to write the howto for unbranding DHD, please also mark some notes how to get the phone in delivery of condition (saving branded ROM a.s.o.).
A guide to debranding the Desire HD would definitely be good. Not that I need it, but for those with branded phones, it would be excellent.
T-mobile UK are totally unbranded! Which is awesome, it was too much to hope that they were unlocked as well but hey ho.

Here's your guide :
You just have to replace MMC1 by MMC2 and at the end just install your RUU and that's all.
I have debranded my SFR Desire HD last night using this.
Does this remove the SIM lock too, if you flash an unbranded ROM?
I don't think, but just haven't tried yet.
No worries there. Was glad with it till I realized the vibrate was pooched do I have to get a replacement... -_-

My HD2 has seen better days - the screen is cracked and the micro USB port is not working. It will cost about £120 to get both issues fixed. My question is --- should I get it fixed or move to a "proper" Android phone, is the HD2 still the best there is or do other phones do Android better?

Hi - please can you create a new thread with your question as it does not relate to my original question.
In short the thread for the Android ROM you are wanting to load will have the necessary instructions for flashing it to your phone. AND spend as much time as you can reading and re-reading the variosu threads on how to do this. If you get it wrong you could permanently damage your phone. If you have any specific questions then search the forums for answers, and if you need to ask a new question please start a new thread.
Thanks

Use the search button and don't hijack other people's threads. Are you seriously that stupid?!
@OP, Sadly I would say that it's time to move on. I compared my HD2 to my friend's SGS2 and another friend's Sensation, and they are a lot better. £120 is a bit much though, I got my HD2 brand new from O2 (or rather, my Dad did, I'm only 14) for £187.
Yea I been thinking the same thing, my HD2 has seen better days (Power Button) and thinking about upgrading to the Amaze 4g, bought my wife a Sensation a few months back and its pretty cool, basically the same just a little better specs, so i think it's close to the end, at least for me, had it since launch day.

Yeah I feel the same way, but the end is near, but it will be a great back-up phone. The only reason I haven't upgraded yet is the possibility of the Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile, but regardless, I will be upgrading within the month.
