I have a S740 with orange uk firmware, is it possible to install original firm from HTC as I have moved away from orange and the orange firmware is all geared around orange services and branding.
If so where can I get hold of it?
new to this so be gentle with your replies
to be honest we really need a hardspl for the rose before flashing other roms
unfortunately no one has taken to the idea

Hi,
I am looking for official Orange UK ROM. Can any body help finding it for me. Reason for finding is that device is locked with some company special program. If I flash it with some other flash, possibly it won't work because it is not Hard SPL phone.
I searched and found some thing about country and operator codes. I can modify the rom but what are the operator code for Orange UK. I appreciate your help.
hi
If its a rom for a himalaya you probobly not get the original orange rom any more. Or maybe you will just have to look hard.
Hi,
I have a HTC HD2 UK stock O2 ROM 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE.
I find this ROM really slow and buggy at times and it has gotten so bad that i sometimes can't perform simple functions like making calls due to the sluggishness of the keypad etc.
O2 recently replaced my HD2 because the previous one was too slow it was unusable.
I even purchased a £20 nokia as back up and i have to say it is much more reliable.
Dont get me wrong the HTC HD2 it is a great phone when it works but there are soo many bugs and all the hard resetting and pulling the battery out when it freezes is starting to really frustrate me!
I think updating the ROM might help but o2 haven't released an update to this ROM and i don't think they will.
1)How do i check if my phone is branded or unbranded?
2)Would it be possible to upgrade to a ROM like the artemis in the rom development section if my phone is O2 branded?
If you need any more info ill be happy to provide it.
Thank you for your help!
Its branded. The 1.72 roms are branded versions of the unbranded 1.66 roms (with any updates that came out between 1.66 and 1.72 release, , ,there werent many). Doesnt matter anyway, if you are going to flash a custom, you need hspl anyway.
No, there wont be a problem. Start reading HERE, be sure and read the whole first post, dont just skim it.
There is a difference between branding and SIM locked.
Branding is just the 'extras' that the mobile company add to the ROM. Most of them at best are a waste of space and at worst they slow/screw up the phone. My phone lasted a week with the T-Mobile (UK) branding, just to test that the phone was not faulty. Then It went onto the stock 1.66WWE HTC ROM. Although some of the custom ROMs look enticing; my ROM is doing everything that I need, so I don't see the need to change.
SIM locked is that the phone will only accept that operators SIM card. My phone is still SIM Locked.
I have an locked Orange UK HTC HD2 with SPL-3.03
As Orange have only recently acquired the phone and this is the oldest firmware. Is it possible to downgrade the spl to 1.66?

First;
Like I have already communicate, the previous Orange UK stock ROM is a hard to find stock ROM, I just takes some time to look on several servers. And it seams that it isn't present.
Secondly, it isn't needed to post the same question on 3 different places, and at the same time opening a thread with the same question (it seems more a spam than a question)
Sorry it's just i've been looking for it for over a week now with no luck and didn't really know where to post it.
Hi,
I purchased an HTC Mozart in a store in Israel and I got a T-Mobile branded phone with only English and German keyboard.
I know there is no official Hebrew keyboard but I don't want the T-Mobile ROM, I would like to have an unbranded ROM so I will get updates from Microsoft and won't be tied to T-Mobile updates.
I'm a noobe in this whole area of ROM and flashing, and I need help understanding the basics.
I saw the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898900 which listed a lot of unbranded ROMs for Mozart phone.
Some questions:
1. How do I find out what is my phone's CID?
2. What will an unbranded ROM allow me to do? Will I get updated directly from Microsoft without T-Mobile?
3. I suppose I can wait until the Hebrew language is official supported and only then get a ROM with the Hebrew language. Is it a right assumption or will our ROMs get the aditional languages as well?
I have this firmware and radio versions:
Firmware: 2250.09.12505.111 (--> 1.25.111.05)
Radio: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Thanks,
Raanan
I swear there was a thread by ansar who describied a way to unbrand Mozart without all this Gold Card (and especially Y-cable) hassle. I can't find it for some reason anymore.
With regard to your question 2, I suspect you'll get two things after unbranding - you'll get updates faster, and you will be able to flash ROMs that support your language when it's added. You won't see Hebrew keyboard on your T-Mo De phone till cows come home.
Now if only I could find that thread...
I think you mean this thread:

I currently have RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe but since I have a lot of problems with my Leo with that ROM (e.g. sometimes it won't charge at all until I soft-reset it, some notifications like for example PockeTwit are not working, WiFi doesn't work probably most of the times even when I'm just a few foot steps away from the access point I'm connecting to, the phone suddenly doesn't recognize the MicroSD card anymore after a Soft-Reset) I wonder if my phone's hardware is actually broken or if it might be just a problem with the ROM.
Based on my experiences with other HTC phones I previously had (Touch 2, Touch Diamond 2) I think that with HTC the operator branded ROMs are better optimized and tested when it comes to stability and performances than the generic unbranded (retail) ones.
So now I'm looking for an operator branded WWE ROM for my European 512Leo. I would go with the latest O2 ROM but unfortunately that is for the UK and so it has that stupid EU imposed volume capp and I really don't want that. Of course the T-Mobile US ROM won't work on my 512Leo so the only alternative I could think about is the Telstra Australia ROM but unfortunately that is pretty old
So does anybody know any other official branded Non-EU WWE stock ROMs I could try or is that Telstra one really the only one for my "special needs"
Thanks

I figured out that "RUU_Leo_1_5_TMOUS_3.14.531.1_Radio_Signed_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_2_Ship.exe" works on my EU Leo perfectly (when flashed with Gold Card) - so no need to find a different ROM anymore
thx
karlmueller
Also, no need for goldcard, hspl will do that for you no problem.
