I have a developer model. Can't update it. - HTC Radar

Just bought second hand HTC Radar. Sseller sold it, because he couldn't update it, because of error 80180048.
He said he thinks the phone is developer model and it may need a firmware....and goood luck!
I can't find how to crab a screenshot on Windows phone, but there is several additional items in the menus:
TestSuite
zBig Boss Settings
zCompass
zGesture Bester
zSensorView
zSart KITL
Is there any standard (original) firmware for radar? The phone is unlocked like every HTC phone sold here in Finland. Is it wise to contact HTC, if they could help, or can I get trouble of doing that?
edit: I'm completely newbie, but I found this:
Model: HTC Radar C110e
Software : WIndows 7.5
OS Version: 8107.WM7_Main_Ship (mojobld).20111201-2014
Firmware revision number: 1600.2200.10807.401
Hardware revision number: 0002
Bootloader version: 1.8.160015.3(131865)
Chip SOC version: 1.6.0.0

Thanks for the quick reply!
Yeah, I tried Hard reset. I also found that link, when trying to find help with that error number. In that help site there is a warning: DO NOT use the Windows Phone Support Tool if your phone's operating system (OS) version is 7.0.7390.0 or higher.
My phone says it has 7.5.

Do someone know how to recognise if this phone actually is a developer version?
Or maybe it has just a custom firmware?
Is there a way to recognize a custom firmware?

if i were you i would use DFT HSPL and flash a custom rom

Many thanks. As I told I'm pretty new with this stuff, but at least thats looks promising.
By the way, I found out my phone is a developer model for sure.
I found a topic in here when doing a search using the OS version (which looks weird).
I found this:
Radar - Strange build - mojobld ?

I see..
So I presume you can skip DFT HSPL and go straight to flashing some ROM whether is stock or not.
Sent from my Radar C110e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

In that other thread, a person with developer phone had tried to flash the phone with other firmwares without success. I would really like to get advices from the people here, before doing anything stupid.
I think i made a mistake saying that htc phones in finland are unlocked. What i mean is they are not locked (or branded) by carrier (like Vodafone, orange etc).

i think you could easily unlock the bootloader (DFT HSPL) and flash a fresh ROM, but look for other opinions just to be sure

[Q] I Can't find The Suitable Region for my HD2 Manila Verion for ROM UPGRADE

I have a HD2 phone with these software specs out of the box:
Manila Version ( 2.5.192xxx ),
ROM Verion (1.43.405 xxx) WWE (70124)
Radio Ver ( 2.04 xxx)
I have been searching for a suitable ROM in htc official site to Upgrade my ROM, but no matter how much I tried, I only get this:
"This software is not suitable for your phone"
I checked my IMEI in https://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr and my phone turned out to be originated from Europe. But I get the same sentence when I tried Europe countries in htc official website.
Can someone kindly shed a light on this?
Thanks fellas
P.S
TBH, I don't see any similarity between my phone OS interface and that of people who have hd 2 Manila version ( from youtube ). Isn't it strange?
probably a branded device sir

You can use the GoldCard technique. (I know it works, but don't have experience with it)
Wow very original (initial ROM)....
Looks like you have an UK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9105826&postcount=1. So you could try the UK HTC Site.
Have you checked if you have an Operator logo at startup? If so, go to the Operators website, maybe the posted the ROM over there.
You must also check your SPL at bootup and report it over here.
HSPL your HD2 then it doesn't matter WHERE your phone is from. As long as its not a t-mobile phone which has more RAM/ROM than normal you can flash any HD2 rom you want...

Sorry for SPL you have to enter BootLoader (press and hold volume-down when booting the device), but don't bother, cause if I read one of your prev posts, you don't have HSLP installed.
You could also contact HTC Support, maybe they can help you finding your upgrade. Cause you have an ancient ROM on your HD2. I believe for all HD2 devices (even branded) there has to be at least an 1.66... or 1.72... ROM available.
Btw. You don't have an Operator logo somewhere at startup, it's all HTC logo's???

I forgot to mention that I finally found a ROM upgrade for my phone from htc TAIWAN website, downloaded and installed it. Apparently my phone origin is Taiwan. And now the language of my phone became Taiwanese. The question is that how my TAIWANESE phone had English language on it if it was not HSPL'ed? ( Actually I didn't check the Bootloader BEFORE upgrading my phone, but I believe if my phone had been HSPL'ed, the word HSPL would be seen in bootloader even AFTER Rom upgrading, right?
Is it possible that a Taiwanese phone has English language on it out of factory?

No, it's all HTC.
Read ALL the previous replies. Told OPTUS that I could not get the Win6.5 ROM upgrade from HTC, launched a week ago. They told me to give them the IMEI (above the serial number).
The operator then told me that I needed to download from the South African HTC site, since that's where my ex-Telstra phone came from. But that site seems off-line at this moment.

Hi,
None ROM will sim lock the phone.
You can upgrade the Radio with 1.2 URR and come back to intiial 1.x BRR
Regards, ansar.
ansar this software is not working in my hc surround, i got with the demo mode and flashed this rom but nothing changes, after a few minutes it goes back to demo mode.
i had a hd7 and it was on demo mode i flashed one of your roms and is fine now, why is not working in my surround?

Hi,
See my reply in branded rom thread.
Regards, ansar.
I successfully flashed my htc surround with a cingulare rom of yours, the branded one. Am I able to flash your unbranded rom? and as far as radio goes, i dont get exactly how i am spose to pick which radio.
and would it still be sim-locked, or does debranding it remove the ATT sim locking
I do not understand ... Since I realize that I can install the rom? I obviously do not want to change the 3G bands (850 to AT & T).
That dirferencias there between them?
What languages do they bring? to choose after flashed ...
PERFECT
dolike this
hard reset
before the at&t shows
take the battery out
put battery back in and turn on in bootloader mode
flash cingular rom
done
no more demo mode
flashin new software will not change the 3g bands
and will not lock your cell

2-Click the Keyboards and Languages tab.

Hi,
You can flash the radio with the 1.2 ROM in #1 post.
Also you can return to the one you have now with the 1.x ROM.
No, ROM flashing does not sim lock a phone and do not unlock it either.
To sim unlock your phone you need an unlock code that could be provided by your operator.

Hi,
[I got error 226 on one laptop and it gets stuck on 98% on other]
[the official ROM gets stuck at 9%]
At 9% or 11% and at 98% of flashing there is usually a delay and it gives the impression that is stopped, but it is not.
In no case you must disconnect the usb cable from phone but must let the flashing operation to complete.
I hope you did not already make a hardware flashing damage to the phone.
Try again to flash the full branded version and let it to complete.
Use a laptop with Vista or 7.
Sometimes it helps to remove the battery for some minutes, replace it and enter bootloader.
Regards, ansar.
bro every time, when it get stuck the rom update utility shows error . The phone automatically restarts and get back to the bootloader mode. I understand what do u wanted to say, i personally have flash numerous apple, android and windows phones, this is the first time whenever ROM update utility shows error and the phone restarts to origonal bootloader state. Iam stuck. Cursing myself, my phone , a new one it was shutdown automatically after few configuration steps, so i decided to flash as i looked liked a software issue. But now iam stuck at bootloader and we cannot replace this phone since i have bought it off contract and shipped it to pakistan where i live, so no warranty claims

Hi,
Since you have a 502 ROM, try to flash the Cingular ROM more than one times in series.
This means after flashing Error and from bootloader try again Cingular.
It may be need it more than twice.

[Q] Mozart rom recomendation !

My HTC7 has never been upgraded and still stock. I have made a full backup of the phone thanks to the great XDA tutorials & i have networked unlocked it. Im not sure what move to make next and could with some help from the XDA oracles !
What i would like is the RTM mango with Chevron ( if thats possible?)
My current build is>
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart PD67100
OS version: 7.0.7004.0
Firmware: 2250.09.12435.061
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.24.2250.35(111169)40
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
I was considering updating through Zune first to make sure the firmware ect. was all updated also, and then upgrading the O/S, but these are just thoughts of a noob
I assume by the lack of replies the forum isn't very helpful to new members who need advice. I know i have alot to learn, but i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Hi josweet
WP7 is so new that most of use are pretty green ourselves.
Try heading over to the HD7 forum. You may have better luck there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1217
You say your HD7, yet in the build specs you list a Mozart and this is posted in the Mozart section.
A bit confusing.
I will assume you have a Mozart, if you do not then head over to the correct phone section and try asking there
So if you want to get Mango RTM (Build 7720) onto your phone and unlocked I recently did it myself and its awesome. It's not very hard to do either.
Head over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Then put HSPL onto your Mozart, this will allow you to install custom ROMs onto your device.
Once you have HSPL take a look at this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206853
It is a NoDo custom ROM which is already unlocked.
Flash your device with the ROM and then take a look at the guide in the 2nd post over her:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16594869#post16594869
That is what I followed and did, it worked fine. Also make sure to read the threads I have linked you to and remember there is always the small chance you may damage your device and I cannot be held responsible. You do everything at your own risk.
Enjoy, ask if you need more help
Psyclown, thankyou very much for your reply. Sorry i hadnt answered up until now but i had given up on this post and moved to reading all the Q&A.
Your absolutely right, my phone is a HTC7 and NOT an HD7 .. im guessing i was having what my dad refers to as a "senior moment" .
Right, as soon as this kids are back at school and its quiet, im going to sit down and have a good read of those links to posted.. with a little luck ill also get mine upgraded within the week.
I didnt want to just guess at which O/S to install only to find out later i then had to roll back to a previous one in order to allow me to install a custom rom... hence my noob question Thanks again

Disable Microsoft Demo Mode?

Hey there,
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 with the Retail Demo Software, i wanna have a full WP8 OS on this Device.
Is it possible to disable the Demo mode?
You have to use the Nokia Care Suite to load a new Rom.
Sent from my LG-E970 using XDA Premium HD app
where can i find the the Download link for Version 2012.44.5.3?
Same here, help would be appreciated. Any way to get rid off the Demo mode? I have installed navifirm+ but really do not know which variant I have to download or how to install it, maybe because I am new to Windows Phone...
So the phones aren't even out yet on AT&T, ppl have been selling these stolen store demos ?
Demo mode is a special ROM loaded on phones display in retail stores. The only way to get rid of it is to load a different ROM. There is no easy way to do it. You have to research it yourself.

It's not stolen at all, we are officially selling these Phones and got 1 free when buying 5. The free one was the demo device, but I didn't know about that. Now I would like to use this device for myself but I can't... I did some research and downloaded a ROM but I really do not find any download link for Phoenix or JAF to install the ROM on my device so now I am really stuck and don't know what to do.
EDIT: Ok I downloaded Phoenix and it says the Lumia isn't even connected. Seems like fail. Any ideas?

That was interesting. When orginal Samsung Focus was released, store employees have to load the demo firmware by themselves IIRC. So now it is loaded by the coporate AT&T.

Actually I'm from Germany and it is not a branded device at all. It just comes with the demo to be placed in a shop where everybody can get their hands on it. But this isn't of any use for us. Help would still be appreciated
Your besy bet is head over to dev forum asking for how to load ROMs to it. But the first thing is to find the official ROM files to download. There is no common way in Windows Phone to load device ROMs from another ROM. Each manufacturer has its own ways. Once you loaded with official ROM tough, you can easily upgrade via common Windows Phone OTA update afterwards.

Navifirm doesn't have any RM-820 ROMs yet. Only 821. Did you successfully flash a RM-821 ROM onto a AT&T 920 (RM-820)???
Or, did you find a RM-820 ROM?
I tried to flash a 821 ROM onto my Rogers 920 which is also RM-820, and the phone won't boot, I am desperately trying to find a RM-820 ROM.

You are right I see, there is no RM-820. But I wasn't even able to flash the ROM because Phoenix didn't detecte my device, it was shown as not connected. How did you mange to flash it then? Btw my Lumia isn't from AT&T.

I chose a RM-821 rom to flash in NCS. It asked me to confirm since the ROM wasn't for this phone. I did, and it started flashing. Then it errored out, saying the ROM isn't for the phone and wouldn't go. I was left with a dead phone

Well that's good for me because I would have made the same mistake. So there is no working ROM right now? Too bad for your dead phone, but how did you install the ROM on it? You have a demo device, too? Where did you actually get it from, and why are we the only damned ones having trouble with demo devices?! x(

Nope, mine was not a demo. I bought it off Kijiji.
I just had success in the past flashing a non-Rogers ROM onto my Lumia 900 and getting MMS and tethering to work. I thought I could do the same here.
If I understand correctly, you're in Germany. That would mean you have a RM-821 device. That would mean you have tons of options for flashing, Nokia Product Support for Store would be what you need. Just download the non-demo ROM for your country and flash it. If you're flashing a RM-821 ROM to a RM-821 device, you should be golden.
RM-821 ROM to a RM-820 device, not so much
It works. Nuff said.
HTC 8X demo mode -- ROM?
I've a similar issue, but with an HTC 8X.
Some guy on Craigslist sold my not-very-smart sister an HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 for $250. Of course, it is locked in demo mode and probably stolen. I've no idea to be honest. I would like to try to flash this demo mode HTC 8X phone into a regular AT&T phone.
I previously flashed a Windows 7.0 Samsung Focus phone w/ Mango through the wonderful instructions on this forum. I'm tempted to try it again, but I would appreciate any guidance on:
1. Finding the right ROM for a HTC 8X phone. It says:
OS version: 8.0.9905.12
Firmware revision: 1532.20.10012.502
Hardware revision number: 0002
2. Basic instructions on how to flash it (someone said navifirm-- do I just install it? etc.) where is it located?
3. Any thoughts on the process of flashing the ROM? Steps, etc.? I'm reasonably technologically savvy, but I don't code anymore these days so I'm not a whiz at this stuff.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thx.

1. Look over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968578
2. Ask in the HTC 8X bit... Got a filling you will need to create a gold card, that's if they work with the new HTC devices. (Navfirm is for Nokia device.
