I just happened to find this on the HTC Web site today (as I'm looking for 6.5 ROM updates), and I was wondering if a UK user would be so kind as to download it?
Since it's fairly recent, I'm hoping there will be some updated drivers or packages to be found.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=687&news_id=269
ROM version: 5.10.161.1
UPDATE: Thanks to timolol's brilliant guess, I've been able to download this. I've mirrored it on FileFactory (full self-extracting .exe) and Mediafire (NBH only).
I'm dumping it now to see if there's anything new & exciting in there .
And I was wondering if anyone could remove all the Vodafone branded stuff, so we can all use this ROM with all other goodies intact?
It would be great to be able to get my hands on this
edit:
Good news guys! I managed to guess a valid Vodafone UK serial number: HT837K001234
Go check it out! I'm downloading now.
Cheers,
Tim

Well, if it's really ****free, it would be great, but I doubt it - it's for Vodafone users, and Vodafone equals loads of ****.
Whats the word? I'm looking to update my EXT folder with some updates.

The word is actually a phrase: "False alarm, nothing new to see here."
SYS: 20771
P.S. If you want updates, you should look into all the new Rhodium, Topaz, Tachi, & Leo packages that are around . . .
I'm just looking for an EzInput 2.1 or newer that will work better on some of the newer roms. Didn't really expect to see anything but maybe that will change Monday.

DO you suggest any ROM versions for Indian HD2
Hi I have indian HD2 and i'm planing to upgrade my ROM
I have ROM 1.48.720.2 nd Radio version 2.05.51.05_2
Since all of you guys over here have some experience in Flashing your HD2 please suggest me some ROM versions to Flash because when i see this forum i find lots of options and i'm really confused in selecting the ROM.
Thanks
Best bet...
1) HSPL it
2) Change the Radio (go for radio which has .50 to enable 576 RAM)
3) Download custom ROM from here and flash via USB

Please, can anyone tell me how to update ROM on my G2 Touch, and how to update Android OS? I sent e-mail to HTC, and they told me I must ask T-Mobile for updates. T-mobile told they don't know anything about updates...
So, please, if you know, explain how can I update ROM & Android OS. I donwloaded ROM update from HTC official site, but that ROM doesn't work on G2 Touch. Please help! Thanks very much!

Check first of all what version of ROM you already have installed.
Menu > Settings > About Phone > Build Number. (2.73.110.26 Latest)
If you require an update then you can go to the HTC website, enter your S/N and if there is an update available you can download the ROM and update it. Just double click the file and follow the instructions on screen.

Excellent news!!! Will keep an eye out in April. I have debranded it now using the Goldcard Method but let's see if the debranded version will release the new firmware too!
If you have a T-Mobile G2 you can't install any updates from HTC.
You have a phone supported by T-Mobile (bad luck, me too) and so you have to wait for T-Mobile to release their own version. Sadly 2.1 will be anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 Months after HTC release their Official 2.1 Update.
Check the T-Mobile forums for all the news on Updates and the Twitter site!

You don't *have* to wait - you can always install a generic ROM if you wish.

I have done some research about this Rom version because I didn't know this Rom version but it seams to be a South East Asia Rom version you have.
If this is correct, that's the reason way you can't access the new Rom on the HTC website because it's based on EU users.
so as in htc doesnt provides any support for the south east asian versions?

- Yes official HTC Rom updates are regional
- When will thy released a south asian Rom?? I don't know I don't work fore them, and there isn't a logic?
- Battery live is related to different point's; most influent is the Radio version.
I must be honest till yesterday personally I was only satisfy with the 1.07 radio I tray them all, just yesterday I tested the new 1.15 radio and I must say "thats the one!" fore my used, it depends of your location and in combination of the Rom
If you don't have a clou about a Rom take a look on the Artemis Rom (It's the one I used, and very happy with it) (You can find the link in my signature)
PS this is a suggestion, based on my experience but I'm sure if you ask 10 peoples with one is the best Rom you will get 7 different answer if it is not 10!

I've tricked my Generic UK phone into thinking it was nordic and got SEUS to upgrade me to Nordic Combined 2.1... I've rooted it using Superoneclick..
I've had a look around the forum, but to be honest there's so much out there it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.. I've tried various search strings but to no avail...
So.. has anyone sussed out how to switch from one 2.1 ROM to another yet, cos as soon as the UK Generic comes out i'd like to switch back to it to get my warranty back in place!!!....
Thanks.

You should, hopefully the method to debrand/rebrand by switching the version's code will work with 2.1 and it will be really easy. Just wait a couple of days after it has been made available in Brazil and I'm sure someone will post a tutorial here.
I'm interested as well. I'd like to switch back to UK generic unbranded. Keep us posted please!

i think it would be best to grab the X10 flasher from these forums, and then wait until the firmware is released. give it hours/days, and the firmware will probs be available somewhere, and you can then place the firmware in the firmware folder of the X10 flasher.
Alternatively you can change your default.props, but I haven't properly looked into this method as I used the flasher to go global generic, and to be fair, don't really care much for flashing across to UK generic, I dont see the point.
Is this easy enough to do. Got the chance of buying one at £400 but would need to unlock it and preferably have it unbranded.
Is the unlocking part something I could do myself or would I need to take it to a vendor and how much would it cost?
Thanks.
The 3 phones are unlocked already
It costs £10 on ebay for an unlock code
Easy enough to un brand by flashing a stock firmware .
But i would wait until i had a copy of my original firmware first in case of claiming on 3 warranty .

Mine is on Three and unlocked/unbranded (although I did get it via Carphone Warehouse) so your mileage may vary.
R.
I had a 3 UK phone, I got it since the launch, as I had it pre-ordered, and it arrived locked, however I used the Voodoo SGS III Unlock Tool and it worked brilliantly, it is free to download and it unlocks it almost instantly, however ROOT is required.
For the information of anyone reading this thread, in branding is as simple as flashing a generic official rom from your country via Odin, takes 5 minutes.
Unlocking is done via the methods shown here in the forum and is free, again, takes 5 to 10 minutes.
To undo the changes, flash back to the carrier ROM you had originally, and I wouldn't worry about undoing the unlock.

Use supercurio's galaxy s3 unlock tool from market,its free
Could anybody with a more in-depth knowledge care to offer a bit more info on this?
I currently have an O2 branded S3.
I have rooted this (when I first got it) and that went fine (Odin, I think was the method I used).
If I wanted to flash a basic unbranded image on this, would I use the very first post from this thread, labelled "I9300XXBLFB"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 (If not, could somebody point me towards the correct file please?)
Then, If I ever needed to put an O2 image back onto it, (maybe for warranty purposes) could somebody point out where I would find the O2 branded one, as I can only see an Orange branded one in the following post?
Also, is there actually much risk involved in the flashing, or would I be really unlucky for anything to go wrong?
(P.S. I've seen the thread about how to change the handset back to make it seem that it's never been flashed/modified, so I realise I'd need to do more than just flash the O2 image back onto it. Hopefully, I'd never need to anyway).

1st of all dial *#1234# into the dialer this will give you the current firmware version(im assuming your still on o2 firmware and havent changed it yet) then go to here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9300&r=1#regiona
this is s3 firmware version for europe and find the firmware that matches the 02 version your on. This is your fallback incase you need to warranty repair the phone or you maybe have a flash problem with unbranded at least you have the o2 to fallback on.
Ill assume its more than likely this one
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4650
and heres the dl link for it
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/157417303/f25aa83/I9300XXALE8_I9300O2UALE5_O2U.zip.html
Then as youve already mentioned flash the LFB version, here ya go dl link
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162402398/abc9bdb/I9300XXBLFB_I9300OXABLFB_BTU.zip.html
Now if you want any other versions of official firmware you will need to join sammobile to be able to dl them
Thanks very much for the reply.
A couple of issues having taken a look at those links.
The first link doesn't seem to have my firmware listed - some are close, but none the same.
Mine shows: AP: I9300XXALEF, CP: I9300BWLE6, CSC: I9300O2UIALE7
Would an alternative work if I ever needed to flash back? (maybe the one you've linked in the 2nd link?
And, finally, to confirm - the last link - "LFB" (not sure what that means) - is that the unbranded rom that I'd be looking for?
Many thanks for the advice.

Have your tried updating through kies 1st? As far as im aware you will still get o2 updates through it. I noticed my phone out the box(unbranded) didnt have firmware matching this list either but after a kies update I was on firmware more well known for the region and was on the list.
Yes the LFB is the latest unbranded firmware.
edit:- doing a bit of research it seems o2 branded phones are running the LE8/LE5/LE5 software so i think your missing an official update.
I've not really used Kies as yet. I'm running Mountain Lion on my iMac, & Kies won't install on that.
I can always use my lappy at work tomorrow to look into it.
If I was going to change to the unbranded firmware, I assume there's not really any point in using Kies to update the official O2 version on here at the moment?

Kies is, as you say available for Mac, but won't yet run on Mountain Lion. I'm assuming they'll update it soon.
You were right, Kies did update my O2 branded handset to the latest FW, which does show on SamMobile's site.
Phones from the three network are locked, carphone warehouse phones are unlocked as they're from the suplier.
Theres a tool called voodoo i beleive it's used for unlocking the sim on samsung phones, you should give that a whirl.
It's available on the market.
