Hi all gurues
I have a problem with my hermes, i'm trying to change imei, but no luck.
What i have done:
1. Unlocked cid, i got a message its done so i hope it is, done with awizard.
2. Installed activesync 4.2, and i have connection
3. Trying to run iwizard_979, and here i got stuck
Tried almost everything, my rom version is 1.56.409.4 and radioversion 1.27.12.32 do i need to downgrade ROM?
If so, what version and where do i find it, and at last , how do i do that?
Mate, I don't think you'll find any help here.... Changing IMEI's is illegal in most countries.
Lets keep the legal discussion out from this thread, after searching about changing imei here in Norway, i found out that it's legal here.
But if it makes it easier, just help me with downgrading my rom and dont think of the rest.
WOw!
so... you can... get the tools on your legal norway!!!
And the meaning of that was?????
Not my foult that imeichange is legal here, but if you use it to unlock stolen phones and criminal activity its not legal.
So, is there anybody here who can help me?
Anybody here who can help me to downgrade my rom?
Hello. I have just received a new G2 (aka Hero) on T-mobile UK.
I am planning on doing this, please can you tell me if this would work:
1.Installing a recovery image
2.Booting into recovery and making a Nandroid backup
3.Installing a generic HTC Rom which has been packed into update.zip NB.Rom is a stock rom and therefore not rooted
As I understand after flashing I would lose rooting and would need to root again if I need to. However, I don't need to so am not too bothered.
I am hoping that this would remove T-Mobile branding, but mainly make the phone quicker as it is running the latest ROM. Would this technique work?
I would also like to know wether my sim-lock status would be affected?
Also if Donut/Android 1.6 is released OTA by HTC would my phone update OTA?
Finally, does that mean once I have flashed it, I will not be able to access the recovery partition thing which includes Nandroid etc.?
Please answer my questions and comment if you have any reservations/concerns about this. All comments are much appreciated.
bump-please help
Bit previous with the bump after such a sort time??
To answer your questions:
First of all, as long as your G2 still has the original Hero firmware, you are probably ok with your plan. If you've got the latest firmware, you'll probably have to use the gold card technique.
If you install a generic ROM, you'll lose most the T-Mobile branding, but to be honest there was very little anyway. The T-Mobile splash screen when you switch on will remain though.
SIM-lock has nothing to do with your ROM - it was locked before it will still be locked after you update the ROM, and vice versa.
Finally, on the subject of an OTA, who knows???!!! I really wouldn't worry about it.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave. Does anyone else have anything to say?
new user, similar question.
got myself a T-mobile G2 yesterday, thinking that it's the same thing as HTC Hero. ok, it's only a software difference but now i'm unable to flash it.
software version is 2.73.116.61 which is T-mobile version of course, and comparing version numbers to recent ones it looks really outdated. is it? on T-mobile UK support pages it's even older one. tried to download official version but HTC says there is no support for my device, based on serial number. also tried to flash with newest downloaded from here but no luck, got error 131
so, what can I do? root or goldcard?
thanx
You will need to goldcard to downgrade your ROM, before you'll be able to "upgrade" it to a custom ROM.
Regards,
Dave

Debranding Optimus Hero (ORANGE)
Hi everyone.
I am an Android rookie, but i am trying to learn more and more each day.
I bought recently a HTC Hero from optimus operator (Portugal) - Orange - and it came with 1.5 version of the OS. There is original 2.1 version but not for my operator.
I already made an goldcard for it, removed simlock, and rooted but now i would like to know step by step what to do?
what rom (original and generic) should i install to have 2.1?
How to do it, with goldcard inside cellphone?
It is possible to go back?
I have read in Q&A that some orange phones, whem the debranding is done, loose the network due to some radio network imcompabilities... how can i know if that is or is not my case?
I would be greatful for all the help someone could give me.
Many thanks

Look at the guides in the android development section of how to root. If the phone is running a very old firmware the likelyhood is that you won't need to downgrade and therefore may not need a goldcard. But basically, you need to root and install a recovery image then you can flash a rom from the hero development section.

Hi Everyone,
I’m new to this forum.
I finally figured out how to unbranded my HTC Mozart (TMO-DE), after reading several posts from very helpful people like Ansar. The procedure I used was:
Flash TMO-DE 1.09
After the Flashing has failed and phone reboots
Flash another ROM (HTC-EU 1.30 or HTC-EU Mango)
And it worked...
Anyway after doing this, I noticed very little difference and so I would like to return to my original branded software.
So I flashed back one of the TMO-DE roms, (1.20, 1.25, 1.28). And it was back to what looked like the original software.
However when I connect my phone to Zune, I can’t get any updates.
I assume its because something has changed on my since I used TMO-DO 1.09.
Does anyone know how to return my phone back to its original condition?
Can anyone help me?
Many Thanks,
Daniel
More problems - Please Help!!
Now i have another problem, apart from not being able to get any updates.
Also it seems there is a problem with my bootloader.
I've lost the PD6700 and its been replaced by some strange unreadable characters. And now I cant change the ROM anymore.
Any ideas? Is there anyway to re-load the boot loader?
Thanks

try reading some of my posts, might help you
Hi i have the same problem.What can i do??
Same problem
I'm stuck with DFT 7713 ROM. I tried to go back to NoDo. I used the following NoDo version software "RUU_Mozart_HTC_Europe_1.30.401.01_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50_RELEASE" on my HTC Mozart. But it did not happen. Mine is an unlocked phone. Can someone please help me with the following questions?
1. If and when the official mango hits my region (India), would it automatically upgrade to the 7720? If so, I shall sit quiet.
2. If the answer for the first one is no, then how do I downgrade? Or is there a way to get rid of this DFT thing?
Thanks a lot. I'm kind of frustrated with this problem . Please help.
Greetings!
hi neusun,
AFAIK zune will not update custom ROMs. you will have to manually update. keep looking into the forums and you will find something. tons of ROMs and many, many talented guys are here. try ansar's ROMs.
yes its a pain in the ass but hey we chose command over convenience, right ?
Hi everybody,
like manny other user, I've tried too update my H900 and didn't knew, that the Mainboard is from VS990. I used the LGUP flashtool and web_h90021w_00_0921.kdz stock rom from this forum, because I'm in Germany and won't get any OTA updates.
Now, like all the others, I am in the Android 6.0 hole. That means the device is starting but VPN, Fingerprint sensor and some other apps are crashing and I can't downgrade or upgrade or do anything because of locked bootloader and downgrade.
I will never ever use a LG device again! The software and hardware versioning really s...ks, you can call it bad engineered and bad managed!
Is there any solution to solve this problem and get a working device in the end? No matter which Android version, no matter if rooted or not, no matter if temperary bricked or not.
Just ANY solution of his issue?
Best regards
Evtoda Gi
No solution found yet!
anyone found h900022w OTA software?
Hello, I happen the same as you. I really regret it, but the tutorial never specified certain things.
Has anyone found a solution?
How much longer do we have to wait for ATT & T to remove MM with its mainboard?
Hey guys, i've come across some bugs while installing the RMX1921EX_11_C.02 version from the Indian site to my phone and i would like some clarifications or help if someone faced those and overcame them.
- To begin with let me start by saying that I bought a global Realme XT with the firmware being RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
- I then managed to brick cyclops the device by trying to install RMX1921EX_11_A.10. Phone wouldn't boot, stuck on the Realme black/white logo.
- I managed to install RMX1921EX_11_A.06 through recovery and sd card.
- Then I downloaded from the Indian support site and installed through file manager the version RMX1921EX_11_C.02.
Now, on this version everything seems to work ok minus some bugs:
- Phone gets a bit laggy sometimes
- Brightness in automatic mode is not working
- Software update through settings won't work. Crashes a while after opening
- Battery life seems affected, won't last anyway near to what it was on RMX1921EX_11_A.05
So my question is, has anyone experienced any of those and found a solution to the bugs?
Also, is there anyway to obtain and roll back to the original stock rom RMX1921EX_11_A.05 from the beginning and then wait for the official OTA update?
Thank you in advance
Are you sure your phone firmware is RMX1921EX_11_A.05. (India version) not RMX1921EUEX (global version)?
If your firmware is India version, you should be able to unlock the bootloader and install twrp.

Yes, absolutely sure but im confused as RMX1921EX_11_A.05. is supposed to India version which my phone had but then the place i bought it was advertised as the global version and also i didn't receive the official ota update through the phone's update settings (and supposedly having the indian version). Seriously, realme's firmware naming and distribution is so confusing and impractical. but let's say i indee have the indian version, what does unlocking the bootloader and installing twrp mean? how will that help me and are there any cons into doing that? Thanks man
unlock the bootloader you can root the phone

My XT is was some as the global version. But from what I'm reading this says I'm using the Indian version? But I have NFC. This is so confusing. Bought this phone thinking I could unlock and root.
This confusing but normal. I bought two EU phones with NFC. One for me and one for my girlfriend. She is still on RMX1921EX_11_A.05.
I updatet my Phone to A.06 and when i look in phonedetails is called RMX1921EX_11_A.06.
I read that A.05 can be unlocked in the other thread. I would test this by myself, but yeah i don't want drama with my girlsfriends phone.
So i don't touch it

India version comes with no NFC. You can try Depth test apk , it won't hurt your phone even you pass it. Let us know if your global version can pass it or not.
