Official HTC ROM download

Hello,
I bought a new fantastic TouchPro2 Orange-branded.
I would like to install the lastest official no-brand ITALIAN ROM WM6.1 from the HTC website.
But I cannot download it because my serial number is associated to the Orange phones.
Can you help me to find this ROM or give me a valid serial number (so that I can use it again as soon as HTC will release the official WM6.5 ROM)?
Thank you in advance to all.
P.S. If someone is interested to my unlocked Orange-branded ROM 1.19.61.3 (51489) WWE no problem for me to share it !

Sorry for ignorance: if is the official HTC Rom, why do I need to installa HARD SPL?

your phone is set to only allow Orange ROMs - I think it's the CID
if you install HardSpl it allows you to flash ROMs not intended for your device and they also don't need to be signed
if you SIM-unlock your device using this forum you'll have the option to change the CID of your device - this will allow you to use any signed ROM even without HardSpl
but as I'm new to all this please wait till someone more experienced verifies this post

I think the previous Orange ROM was better than the official HTC ROM, anyway it was in english so this one is OK for me.
I'm looking forward to the official release of the WM6.5 HTC ROM !

unbranding HTC fuze and load new SA rom
I have a HTC Fuze At&T phone which I sim unlocked to use on Vodacom/MTN network. The phone software is really crappy and I was hoping that I can get a rom update on this site so that I can flash the SA version and hopefully get the GPS and browser to function.
I successfully did that for my Experia but cant find simular info for the HTC fuze or Touch pro as it is called in SA.
Any help will be great.
thanks

How to install RUIM on PPC6900

Hi everyone,
I just disassembly my HTC xv6900 verizon.Under LCD display,I found space for installation RUIM slot.Can I use sim slot of GSM model instead of it?
After installations just only enable RUIM if available in QPST or CDMA workshop?
Or my opinions are wrong ? Please advise.
Thanks in advance...

I could be mistaken but I believe it's going to require more than that. I don't believe that the Verizon boards have that capability.
Also why would you want to?

Thanks for attention,
Since I'm in Thailand.It's RUIM network.I'd like to add RUIM slot and use it same as china network.
I confirmed both sprint and verizon have space for install RUIM slot same as GSM model.
But I don't know full procedure to enable it.May be some process on mainboard except from just solder.
I ensure about use qpst or cdmaworkshop for enable it.But not clear step on mainboard.Please advise.
Thank very much,

I think you have to alter the radio also http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=4771 this is for the ppc6700 though.
Or try http://www.rimweb.in/

Thanks for all..

Global TP2

I have a global Verizon TP2, that I've now moved to T-Mobile service. Obviously, I'm now using the GSM network.
My questions is, and I haven't seen it answered elsewhere, can I flash a GSM ROM or must I flash a CMDA Rom and set my network manually?
I may have missed the answer in my search, I admit, but I did try.
I should add, I've unlocked using HardSpl and the radio unlocker by Olipro and friends, which is how I got it working with T-mobile. I've also flashed the unofficial "official" 6.5 ROM for Verizon TP2.

CDMA is thats what your base phone is.

I'm not positive but I do not think you can flash any rom but an official upgrade from verizon, This is a hybird phone and no cooks have made any customs roms for it yet that I'm aware of...

There are custom ROMs for CDMA TP2, but not as many as for GSM TP2. I was just wondering. If I flash a CMDA ROM, I have to work through all the settings again to set it up for GSM, and it's a pain.
But if I must, I must.

It is a verizon phone so it is CDMA with the ability to use the GSM network. You HAVE to flash a CDMA ROM.

Head over to the Touch Pro 2 forums at ppcgeeks.com. That is a comunity more dedicated to CDM A development. There are quite a few CDMA roms available there.

Best Rom/Radio for Dual CDMA (Sprint) / Domestic GSM (AT&T) usage

Im looking to flash a custom rom to a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 for the sole intention of getting rid of my work phone (AT&T Blackberry). What is the best ROM (and easiest to switch between radios) to do something like this?
Thanks for any tips!

So far as I know you cannot flash a GSM ROM to a CDMA phone. It will not work.

The CDMA touch pro 2 is also a "world phone" so it has a built in GSM radio. The key is unlocking it for domestic GSM carriers. There are some unlockers to do this, but I am assuming there are various different radios and ROMs you can use that may make this work better or be easier to use.

I am aware of the "world phone" capabilities, and I stand by my statement. You will brick your CDMA phone if you flash a GSM ROM. You need to flash a CDMA ROM.
I believe that it is possible to "un-brick" back to CDMA, although so far as I know no one has "un-bricked" a GSM phone that was accidentally flashed with CDMA.

for better results... aka answers.
i suggest asking this question here --> linky.
because primarily your phone is CDMA,
therefore a CDMA ROM would be needed/required.
i also suggest a read of this --> linky.
it is very informative.
and should help a lot with answering your questions.
hope that helps.

As a CDMA/GSM phone we have the capability to use a GSM sim card, but we can only use tools that were specifically built for CDMA, including ROMs/radios. Flashing a GSM rom/radio will seriously hurt your phone, possibly rendering it unusable.
To unlock for a GSM carrier in the continental US, you will first need to SIM unlock, either through calling your carrier and requesting a SIM unlock or using the olinex SIM unlocker found in the CDMA forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
There are a couple guides to getting the tp2 working on various carriers.

Wellllll... Where are the guides

Please some help,
I have read and reand and dont find the answer.

HTC One m8 variants

Hi guys,
Planning to buy the m8 and root it. But should I be specific on the variants?
Im not from the US (The Philippines) so Most likely not gonna get atnt, sprint etc.
So my options are:
The international model
Emea (a friend of mine is selling his but it was bought in riyad, KSA)
Or the asian version (s801 2.5ghz)
Do they have like different model nos.? Different ruus / rom versions etc?
Had a bad experience when i bought a phone (m7 sprint wls) before, since im not from the us. Had limited roms available compared to the international version
Your input would really help
Sent from my HTC One

I would agree that you should not get a US variant. For one thing, they will be SIM locked. Another thing, the Sprint and Verizon versions are CDMA. Different software, and possibly different hardware (although its been discussed here, and not clear - but I would err on the side of caution and assume the hardware is different). So if your area does not use CDMA I would stay away from those variants.
All GSM versions, be aware that they can all be converted to another carrier variant once bootloader unlocked and S-off. So as long as you avoid the CDMA versions, you are good for ROMs.
I would suggest the version that supports your local 3G and LTE bands out of the box. But again, as long as you are willing to s-off the phone, you can change that in software. So if that is the case, I would just go with the best deal.
From what I understand, the Asian version is the same as any other GSM version, just with a slight overclock.

Well if you do go with a us carrier Verizon has the best coverage and thier phones are :not: sim locked. You can use them with any carrier anywhere. My second choice would be t-mobile

The OP is from the Philippines. They aren't going to use a US carrier.
I would advise against CDMA variants for the reasons already mentioned.

Thanks guys, I just want to be clear, so if I use a Rom or RUU on a GSM variant, as long as Im'm on S-Off / Unlocked Bootloader and/ or on SuperCID. I could use any Rom ./ RUU from different GSM variants (I checked the rooting guide for the M8 and is similar to the M7, so as far as unlocking the bootloader / root that I have an idea).
Do they have different RUUs at all??

Yes.
Aside from the CDMA RUUs, which I wouldn't try on a GSM version unless you read definitive advice elsewhere that its ok.

Only US versions have RUU, that I know of.

Yes you're right.
I thought all has ruus on it. But with supercid i could use any nandroid backup right? As long as its gsm
I think I will go for the Asian version (wwe right? Cause it has a higher clockspeed and updated s801) And go supercid and use international (gsm) roms. Will that work?

WWE just means "world wide English". I think it refers to the Euro version.
