You need to replace the SDDL of the rom by the tg01_sddl+.exe from this FTP
thanks man,but by the way,what do you mean by replace the SDDL?do you mean I should change the flie name or....?
just delete the old "sddl.exe" (from rom folder)
and copy\paste the new "sddl+.exe" (from the ftp) in your storage card with the prg folder of the rom..

I understand that use of SDDL+.exe is now considered obsolete since there is a hardware method of entering bootload available... following links refer:

TG-01 Flash Unlock
Hello.
Could someone advise whether flashing the TG01WP-WM6.5-Generic-IT.zip as described in this thread (two pin short) gives a no-sim-lock phone?
Would flashing Orange TG01WP-WM6.5-Orange-UK.zip onto a Generic ROM then give an Orange branded phone with no sim-lock?
Thanks in advance - Looking to save a few Pounds and get up and running quickly!

I doubt it. Mine was an orangeRO locked, flashed on italian ROM with sddl+ and still orange locked.
Not able to install the English rom
I tried installing the English version downloaded from the Toshiba website.. it says the variant is in valid... can some body help me.
Did you paste the due files at the SD Card root, or inside a subfolder? Trouble could come from that...
The files are on the root of the SD Card... It says SD download failed...
I suppose you used sddl+ as indicated...
By this way, "SD dowloading failed variant is invalid"; was not this the error message when french user tried to get an UK Rom, for instance, on Toshiba Website, and Orange did not want their customers play "rom travel" game? I am not sure I remember well about this; did you have to give your IMEI at some point?
Yes i Used My IMEI number to download the toshiba website to download the english rom
Guys if you have any TG01 buyed in EU you can pud any TG01 ROM Spaish,English,Italian etc... But if it's a Japanese or Asian TG01 don't play with it.
To change rom just pud in the SD /prg/ file and SDDL+ ne one from stepw and run it. If not the same system but we don use SDDL we use a short pin. You can find everyting on forum.
So, trying to test my understanding: (with bits of informations here and there, on this forum and others, I'm getting rather confused)
There would be different "kinds" of Tsunagis, depending wether they were sold in EU or Asia. (hardware? Toshiba programming level?)
Among european TG, due to commercial treaties with Orange, some (French, English, Helvetian) TG would be Orange branded, and sold Orange locked, while Italian TG would be unbranded?
So, if you have an Orange branded TG, still Orange locked or unlocked, you cannot just change to any European WM6.5 Rom just dowloading it from Toshiba website, where you have to "tell" your country giving your IMEI. (you would stumble on that "invalid variant" error message)
Instead, must use the stepw way, refered to in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629586, (or http://www.adryan.evonet.ro/pocket pc/Toshiba TG01/ROM-uri/), or the "short pin" confused: whatever that might be, my poor english don't allow me to understand much about it)
But this would be "dangerous" for an Asian TG, though, unless I missed the information, eekthecat did not say for how long he had been using his phone before he tried, and if he knew for sure his TG was a well working one and not a disastrous bugger (at least some french tsunagists had many problems with theirs, and gave up for another device after some exchanges that did not improve the situation, the fourth proving sometimes worse than the third!)
Wish things will be easier with cooked ROM...
meerau if interested in changing ROM, PM me and I'll help you.Je peux t'aider.
Hi guys I'm new here..just registered after spending most of last night reading ROM developments for the TG01 for the last 1 year or so. I gotta admit that instead of wanting to move away from TG01 (given all the difficulties and misadventures with the set..from other posters) I feel even more compelled to keep the one I recently purchased..crazy right!?!
Anyways I have some info and some questions..will start with the question:
1. I just purchased a TG01 (unbranded) from Italy. The set is running WM6.1 and is brand new..still in the box. I would like to change the ROM to English and the only reason for that is that I prefer english despite understanding both languages...other than that I have no desire to go further and install UI variations of other phones (HTC, etc) as I really see no point in creating problems for myself..what I gather from most posts is that alot of users apply mod's which temporarily seem fine and balanced BUT eventually lead to some sort of problem which is then modded thus solving the initial problem but creating a new one..so on and so forth until phone in many cases dies. (Comment: I am confused why many users flash their ROMS to English when they can't even speak or read English at a basic level?!? Once again I dont see the point..someone enlighten me ...ooops back to the question...So..is there any suggestion or help I can recieve in changing the ROM from Italian to English? Should I do this after the 6.5 upgrade in Italian or? Suggestions please.
2. Toshiba Asia recently started realeasing TG01 to certain Asian countries and one that may be of interest for a generic English Language ROM is Malaysia. I recently picked-up a TG01 in a store in Kuala Lumpur and it was a locally certified and guaranteed set with no 'Telcom Carrier Branding'. It was unlocked and not an import phone from other TG01 markets..and the ROM was in ENGLISH!! This TG01 came preinstalled with WM6.5 (not 6.1) but I had no intention of buying it as I already have the new italian set and more importantly it costs more than 500 Euros vs. the Italian one I bought for a net 287 Euros.
Maybe this can be a new and more reliable lead on how to get a generic ENG ROM instead of playing doctor frankenstein with 'carrier branded' ROMS in English.
Looking forward to hearing your comments.
Ciao

I will buy it from Vodafone Shop, But only have one concern, Is the phone Locked on Vodafone or Sim Free ?
Thank you and best regards
It's SIM FREE.... I'm using mine with a Telecom Italia Mobile SIM inside...
Bye
Don't worry is totally free Sim, i am using it with H3H network, i need only to change the setting for MMS and VPN , but is very easy to be.
Bye
And, if you don't have Vodafone as carrier, you can also flash the phone with the flash you prefer!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
take a look here)) I can post a more detailed flashing procedure if you want, I did it on mine and now changed flash (to don't have Vodafone customizations on a TIM sim card....)
I currently live in Italy and I'm planning to buy an Optimus 7... the problem is that currently I have 3, which does not sell it...
From the posts above it seems I can buy any version of the phone?? I've seem some interesting prices with the TIM version... And it also seems the only place selling the "EU FREE" version is redcoon.it, veeery expensive!
I am a little worried of buying an expensive new toy, only to try to flash it with the "EU FREE" rom and brick it... this MMS and VPN config can be done without flashing?
Many thanks!
Leo.
flashing is not so dangerous procedure, you find all the information and file needed here, there is also a really detailed guide how to flash made by me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578&page=4
anyway if you want to stay on TIM fw you can change the XML file that contain all the carrier information using the MFG menu doing this
call ##634# open MFG application and then enter 277634#*#
under Engineer menu select other settings, then set network profile.
Here you can choose the XML file with the proper operator settings.
Enjoy)))

Thanks for the info!
But would there be a XML file for 3, given that the phone is still not available at this carrier?

Ok, great! So Optimus 7, here I go...
Right now it is 380 EUR on MediaWorld online... interesting price for 16Gb of memory!
So, just bought it!
To reflash or not to reflash, that is the question...
flash! flash! flash!
well, joke apart, if u have particular needs do it, that's not that dangerous
IF u need a really detailed guide in Italian, I can give it to you, I written by myself.

Hum, I think I will flash it... I will not stand these alice links floating around eheh (I know I can remove from the front page, but still...)
Anyway, is this detailed guide the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11310777&postcount=24
Or is a even more complete? If it is, then send it please
Anyway, I'm downloading the EUROPE OPEN firmware available at the other topic...
yeah, you got it)))
just I don't understand if u speak italian or not because you live in Trento but you have a different flag...
Rider,
reading carefully the detailed guide on the other topic, I saw that you said:
"Ti consiglio di rimanere sul firmware dell’operatore che utilizzi, il firmware “open” a me non è piaciuto e non è sembrato neanche stabile, tantomeno open"
So... now I don't know if I should flash or not! What did you mean with the fw not seeming "open" and also not stable?
Thanks!
Leo.
Edit: just saw your previous post... so I do speak Italian, but not that much... for me is easier to write in English, but I could understand you guide!
Anyway, I'm from Brazil, but I live in Trento! ciao!
on that firmware I had problems with MFG phone built-in application and the carrier is "OPN_NEU", it is clearly written, in my really humble opinion NEU is new in german, so that sounds like an operator that left intentionally open the fw customizations....
Maybe I am just saying a load of bullshits but I really didn't liked the firmware, personally I passed from Vodafone to Telecom Italia Mobile because TIM is my operator... my advice is to use the firmware that you use on your SIM card, so you ensure a trouble-free operation of your phone with your operator.
Use the "open" only if u have particular needing, like changing SIM frequently.
Yeah, but my carrier is Tre... no official firmware for it (at least yet!)
Btw, a weird problem here: I tried to open the MFG app with ##634## and it says "This command isn't supported"...
any help on this?
##634# you putted one extra

Still deciding to flash or not, after you comments on the "EUROPEN OPEN" fw...
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.
Hello people, I got some prototype from my work with the 4.0 update, there was most of the languages, plus the Hebrew (for menus to), been stupid and flashed the old 145 UK Generic, and now no Hebrew for the menus, also it was there before I made Factory reset.
What is that? I remember flashing Germany Generic for some E10 and there was Hebrew for menus, and it stay there even after Factory Reset.

BTW, I have X10 prototype, that from start was .435 from "Pelephone", it's Israeli cellular network. so I flashed .435 Global World, and there was Hebrew for menus, so explain me what I missed with the R800? that got no Hebrew menus?
Any help my friends?
