Questions before purchasing a secondhand XDA. - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi Guys,
I have been reading this forum now for a couple of days and I am very impressed with the amount of knowledge sharing going on here!
I am considering purchasing an XDA from the UK over ebay but I have a few questions,
If these much of a difference, performance wise between the 32 and 64MB models?
If a phone is locked to O2 in the UK can it be used on O2 in Ireland?
To unlock the phone I would need to install the special edition ROM published here, right? Is this suitable for the 32MB model? Is it hard to do?
Thanks for any help,
Adrian.

Yes: When I last looked, O2 locked to all of their providers in Europe.

This would be one way, yes. You could also get a serial cable and our program 'The Manipulator', or install the 3.17.03 ROM from Jeff's kitchen and make sure you select XDAunlock. After unlocking, you can switch to any ROM you like...

Great
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

Raphael/Touch Pro/Fuze CID/Security/SIM Unlocker

Alrighty, same deal as Diamond, here's the Touch Pro / Fuze SIM Unlocker :
you want a free SIM Unlock right? well tough ****, there's no such thing as a free lunch... if you want to get something, you need to give something.
1) contributing forum members & Elite Team donators... Request a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - CONSISTENT AND REGULAR POSTING), then just drop me a message and it's yours.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/sod all posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]
Security Relocker
hey all, we (olinex) got many requests for a security relocker
so now, you can easily do it
steps:
1. make sure you have stock radio flashed already. (i.e. not the one that unlocker flashes)
2. also make sure your radio is ON
3. download this attachment, extract, put it on your device, execute it
4. it should say relock was OK, and then you're done. if it says error, then reboot, retry, and again make sure radio is turned on (check in comm manager).
what if i just want to unlock security? still have to pay?
Good question since my TP isn't sim locked either

Security unlock ?
Hi guys,
Could somebody explain me what is the security lock ?
As far as i know, SIMlocking is depending on the provider who sells you the phone. For example, here in Belgium, it is forbiddent to SIMlock a phone, so my raphael is already SIM unlocked. Otherwise I would have to use the tool proposed here for it.
Concerning CID unlock, I would have to replace the SPL with HARDSPL if I wanted my raphael to be in SuperCID mode (stop me if i am telling craps).
But i have never heard about a security lock. What is the purpose of it ?
My previous device was a wizard, and I just needed to CID unlock it to flash any rom on it. But it seems that things have changed...
Thanks in advance for your answers,
j
"Google checkout is not allowed in your country" WELL, WHAT IS ALLOWED IN MY F***** COUNTRY ?
Mod Edit: LOSE the bad language, theres no need.

it's an MSM7xxx thing, allows you to do extra things like flash a diamond radio on raphael.
hardspl is not making your device truly supercid, but that is just a theoretical difference between hardspl and the real cid unlock, so do not worry.

Google Checkout support Macedonia just fine.
Finaly Google Checkout work. Maybe I have some problems with my Internet Service Provider (it's usually with my provider).
Ok... I'm a really noob.
Let's say i have a brand new Touch Pro, do i need a security/CID-Unlocked Touch Pro to do Hard-SPL? I just want to flash it with the newest roms. I don't mind donating money for XDA, but i'm just really confuses right now..

You do not need a security unlock to flash the newest roms, but you DO need to Hard-SPL. Once Hard-SPL is installed, your device is CID Unlocked, and then you can install any rom or radio rom (as long as it's a Raph radio!) that you want.
A SIM unlock lets you use SIM cards from other providers, ie if your phone is locked to a provider, after a SIM unlock, you will be able to use sim cards from other providers.
I haven't seen too much about security unlock, as far as I know the only use for that at the moment is to install say, a radio from a Diamond onto your Raph...
Hope this helps...
It would be nice tough if Olipro could at least respond to the PM I’ve sent him….
As far as I know I comply with his criteria, but so far (3 days now) I haven’t heard a thing from him...

Some Clarification Please...
I just want to get it all straight in my own mind before I "brick" my new phone inadvertently.
I have a new touch pro supplied by Vodafone UK. I want to do two things:
1. flash the latest roms to my phone
2. use various sim cards (some non Vodafone) from time to time
I thought that if I flashed HardSPL and then my chosen rom I could accomplish these two objectives?
from what i've read it appears that I could achieve point No.1 but to be able to use different sim cards I need to pay for some sort of unlock code?
can someone please confirm that my understanding is correct?
Many thanks.

HardSPL will allow you to flash different ROMs.
If your handset is locked to vodafone (which they normally are when you get them from a telco) and you want to use Sims from other telcos, then you will also have to use the SIM Unlock tool referred to at the beginning of this thread.
Thanks for the info apd...
as a matter of interest I tried a BT sim card in the phone and it works no problem so it appears that Raphs supplied by Vodafone UK are not 'locked' into only accepting their sims!

Touch Dual Upgrade Wm 6.1

Hi all, where i can download the touch dual upgrade? someone can post a link please? I can't download it from official htc site becouse i have a branded phone.
thx
Mirrors for WM6.1 upgrade postet for some times here. Please use the Search...
Or take a look in my signature
can it go on branded??
I've been trying to find out the answer to this for a few days....but I get a bit confused with all the answers, terminology and talk of hard spl etc..
so please forgive the question... I would like a simple yes or no answer just to confirm what I think i understand from other threads...
Can the normal HTC supplied update for WM6.1 be applied to a branded phone (in my case Orange UK) without having to make any other adjustments first???
Thanks in advance
thx but i need the italian version..

Nope, you need to flash the uspl first. Check the sspl/uspl/hardspl thread. It's quite easy, first you put sspl on the phone and run it, then when the phone is in bootloader you flash the uspl. After flashing you can check if it went ok by going into bootloader (check wiki how to do it). If you can confirm that you have uspl, then just flash the new 6.1 original.
There's nothing else to it (it works also on vista). I did it with my t-mobile branded phone.

Thanks for that...I believed that was the case but there is sooo much info on here it was difficult to get to the bottom of it.
I'm not sure I want to do all that...if i brick it I can't afford a new phone so I might just leave it be.
Also, has anyone actually done this with an Touch Dual on Orange UK? does it work? The only confirmed upgrades i've found are on T-Mobile.
It would be a lot easier if Orange just supplied it wouldn't it????

Ok i have a UK version Toch Dual wich i bought here in belgium so it was already unlocked since i could use it on belgium networks. Also it is an unbranded one.
I flashed yesterday the new Official HTC Rom Windows Mobile 6.1 wich went all well no problems with flashing. It is a good rom, faster than the previous one. My question is since it is already unlocked can i flash any custom rom i can find here in the touch dual forum ???
Or do i have to do something witch the Uspl or hardspl ??? what is the different and what are the steps to use it with custom roms???
thanks alot

New ROM for T-Mobile (1.33.110.2)

Just checked the HTC website and I've just discovered a new ROM for T-Mobile(uk?) users was uploaded yesterday
Version 1.33.110.2
Luckily for me I'm a t-mobile user, but I havnt noticed anyone talking about a 1.30+ rom yet
EDIT: AS somebody already asked and DID NOT READ TWO POSTS BELOW i'm quoting myself here:
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ALSO note that this is for T-Mobile UK branded Mega's ONLY
(you could try using it, but dont complain when your GPRS/mms/etc settings are preconfigured for T-mobile!!)
Thanks for this.. looks like the crappy T Mobile release is the best we can hope for. At least YouTube gets its own application, so I don't get the "Finding Network..." error when loading videos from IE
yeah it looks alot better than the last one i downloaded.
Just to note:
The site mentions a new ROM update for your HTC HD2...
I confirm this is for your Touch2/Mega/T3333. It's pretty snappy
T Mobile must have paid millions for HTC to lock the Mega with them, this is a really nice phone, especially if you don't want to carry a laptop sized thing (HD2) with you
Why can't they make a single ROM with no branding on it (or at least don't block changing the ROM)
... If anything, seeing the bloody T Mobile thing on start up makes me less likely to switch to them, and go to Virgin or stay with O2.
Thanx guys, its something until we get cooked roms, wow
Erm, nid help! why i cant download it? they ask me for S/N and i typed in but they say this software is not suitable for you device. my phone is HTC Touch2 T3333
Is it a T-Mobile one? Or not? The phone must be a T-Mobile UK one, you must select United Kingdom in their site and voila.
same here...

It is, but only for UK T-Mobile branded phones. Its not for every HTC Mega.
Brands?

Then my friend you have not branded mobile phone. That means you must put only WWE updates, this update is only for T-Mobile Phones from UK, when you swich on/off the phone you see T-Mobile, now did you get that this is not for you, wait for the 1.33 WWE version.

[Q] Flashing custom ROM - noob

Hello everybody!
I'm using factory unlocked HD2 in US, bought on Amazon, but apparently it was manufactured in Portugal. When I was trying to download ROM through the htc.com by serial number it gave me PTG ROM, so i downloaded it and flashed.
Then I did the same but with RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.
What do I do to flash it with custom ROM after this, if possible? Please, guide me how to do it right, cause a lot of information on this forum and it's really confusing. Appreciate any help
