I have read bits and pieces about what can/can't be flashed with just goldcard and the original SPL but am still a bit confused. Could someone please explain what is possible and what is not? For example, I have heard that you can't downgrade versions but obviously that is too broad a statement as some of the results people have posted in regards to the HK and EU ROMs suggest otherwise.
Unless I'm blind or mistaken, there's nothing much goldcard related in the wiki.
Edit: Moved from the development forum? ....okay
I posted this in the 'Desire Android Development' forum and it got moved to 'Desire General' and subsequently buried.
Can anyone answer this question??

Hello everyone,
I hope I posted my first question here in the right area (if not, shame on me )
In the next few days my HTC Touch Diamond will arrive from Vodafone. I do not know if this is just in Germany but my last phone from Vodafone, a Sony Ericsson W810i, also had a "special" Vodafone-OS on it. On the W810i I was finally able to look up all the necessary information myself to make it a Vodafone-free phone. But as I read through all the available Wiki's, FAQs and other threads I am starting to see that this might be another level compared to what I have done before.
My questions concerning my new device are whether there is a possibility to change the "Vodafone-red-theme" to the original one which you also can see on HTC's homepage. Of course, the whole device should be in its original form, not just the theme, whereas the Vodafone-Services (SMS-Gateway and all the other service numbers which are needed to use the device). I think it is possible, maybe it has something to do with a "ROM-Upgrade" or so, as I have seen in a FAQ around here.
My other question is, of course, how to do that, what tools are needed etc.
In short, I need you to provide me the right link to a tutorial since here are so many and I do not know which one to take (and I do not want to screw up the device).
I hope that you can help me, if I accidentally posted this thread in the wrong forums might a moderator please be so kind to move it to the right section and notify me of my fault.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany (or Bavaria, to be more exact )

We'll let you off!
Yes, you are in the wrong section... you should be in the 'Diamond ROM development' section, but everyone is allowed one mistake (Except, myself... I have infinite mistake allowance!)
My device was vodafone branded when I got it, and that's the first thing I wanted to get rid of too.
First you need to 'Hard SPL', which unlocks the device so you can flash any ROM you wish. Then just flash your required ROM. I would highly recommend AZTOR's X2 Ultimate. He has the philosophy of keeping the ROM as close to the original stock ROM as possible, only better, stronger, faster... like the bionic man (I'm showing my age now!!).
Everything you need is in this tutorial. I followed it to the letter, and now my device is everything it should be. It's always very nerve racking the first time you flash your device, but what ever happens, there's some sharp wizard in this forum with the knowledge to get you out of the brown stuff... have fun
Hi grahamkdt,
thanks for you reply. I already thought after submitting that it would have been better to post this in the development area. I will contact a Mod immediately to solve that.
Thank you for the recommendation about the ROM, but there is still one problem for me:
Should I upgrade the "Radio" first, since in the tutorial you gave to me it is step B. Or is this just a prerequisite to not breaking anything? Are there also different versions?
Regards,
Zuzler
thread moved
now we are all happy
Wow thanks, I also contacted tnyynt for that
Can't remember...

I can't remember if AZTOR's ROM's include the radio. It might be worth flashing a radio first from here. I use Radio v1.09.25.23 (Quad Band) (52.51.25.26H) - no issues at all.
Or, you could ask AZTOR if radio is included in his ROM's if you're really concerned. Personally I'd just flash one first anyway...
Ok, I will ask him personally (just seen hes from Germany, too - might make some things easier)
Thanks again!
i currently have this radio: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
does anybody know if a better radio is available for my stock (but rooted) HTC Hero??

and it's no problem that my radio reads EU and the latest from the link reads JU in the name????
Hi eagle,
Please refrain from posting in the Dev section unless it is something to do with Hero Development.
Your question should be in the Q&A subsection of Hero.
There is also a sticky post in this forum (near the top) with the information you need.

How long does the average "subscriber" to XDA have to wait to get a reply from XDA? I posted question threads at the end of November and todate no-one has made any attempt to reply. I even wrote another thread informing my willlingness to give a donation if the replies help me. Yet even to this I didn't get any reply. Here again are my phone's particulars:
Phone: HTC-HD2 T8585 Particulars
OS Ver. : W6.5, 5.2.21869.5.0.82
Manila Ver.: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver: 1.48.405.2 (71294)
Co0kie Ver: 2.0.0.0
The forum members are all made of volunteers, so if you haven't had a reply it either because no one has seen it or nobody has the answer.
all you need is patience
I remember the 1st thread I´ve created asking a question related to the radio on my beloved Universal, to this date nobody answered it
Said that, there is no specific time to get a reply, that depends on multiple factors such as: Nobody is interested, nobody has seen it, and so on...
as Pilot said, have patience!
All your posts seem like they've been made in the Q&A section, rather than the device Q&A section.
Try posting your questions in the device section.
I was being told that if I downloaded the official GB for the Dinc2 then S-off wouldn't work. Is that true? Will there be an S-off version of GB by the AlphaRev X team?

Please please please look at all the threads already in existence discussing this. They are numerous. The question has been answered a lot. There is even a sticky thread with this discussion that has been there for at least a month.
I'm normally not one to straight off point at the search function or to tell someone to look at existing threads (this is only my second time in the I2 forums), but please don't ask questions that are already answered several times over and over. It clutters the forums.
I got myself a htc one x today but it has that o2 branded software.
I am looking to get the stock software on it and I don't know how.
Looking for a n00b proof guide.
Thanks for all the help in advance.
Well since nobody answered I'll. I don't want to sound like a troll but don't you think this is a bit going too far?
I don't believe that you bothered to check the 09/07/2012 Everything HTC One X. *** Read this before posting *** Sticky Roll-Up *** or use the search.
Wrong section as well. You'll know that you can't flash the stock WWE rom without SuperCID/S-OFF, and that your only alternative is to load a custom rom.
May want to alter the title slightly, at any rate.
Cheers,
Josh
Moved to Q&A but closed as well since there are already existing threads for that matter.
