If you are locked to orange and you update your radio you will be locked to no network. Ie, even with an orange sim in your phone it will ask for an unlock code.
Is it possible to edit a radio in the same way you would a rom to overcome this issue.
Also, if a radio can alter the phones simlock status can one be made that would unlock a phone to any network?
Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.
The developers section will have better answers for you on this but as an Orange user I overcame this by purchasing an unlock code off eBay.

Hehe, well I am orange uk, and when I tried to use the unlock codes I bought, they said successful, but then didnt work. so i tried flashing the htc wwe rom from the sticky in development thread and used the code and it worked. I had to root my phone again but was then able to flash 2.2 with sense, hope that helps (I was scared about being stuck with a radio i couldnt unlock etc and having a phone that was useless but decided to put my trust in nandroid lol)
I was thinking to do this too.
Tried installing the WWE version, but the software said it didnt like my customer id or something. wouldnt let me revert to stock ruu

Couldn't really find anything about this, but I have a problem and I appreciate all help, thanks.
I really really need to install the Orange RRU on my HTC Desire HD as it's being returned to Orange, but because it's my second handset I have returned to them they are going to inspect it for any 'software modifications' (they didn't say that, but its obvious) and I really need a flash back to it. I have debranded my device at the moment, but I am not rooted, all help is greatly thanked.
Follow the link in my Sig and go to RUUs you find the latest Orange ROM there. FYI I got my DHD from Orange the first week it was launched, it was supplied unlocked & unbranded.

Right, I have that downloading now, just to double check, I have Software Version 1.32.405.6, will I still be able to flash this RRU, as I know sometimes there are problems if the Software version is newer than the RRU is flashing onto the phone.
Yeah you should be fine, going from stock 1.32 to Orange 1.84.

Do you have Radio S-OFF & SuperCID? If not try using the tool in the Dev section. You should be fine then.

HTC Desire G7 Official Orange UK ROM
Hi, pls excuse the noob couldn't find the link in your signature, could you pls post it? Also, do u have HTC Desire G7 Official Orange UK ROM? The one mentioned is for the Desire HD, isn't it?
Cheers, J
Sadly I took my site offline due to a huge wave of DDoS attacks. All RUUs & ROMs were wiped. Sorry about that.
Hi.
I see that shipped-roms.com is shut down. is there an alternative site that i can get these original RUU's? I'm looking for Orange UK Bravo. I would say any UK one would do though.
Thanks.
orange didn't release any RUU's so no luck there. You'd need a goldcard and then use a WWE RUU
what about an alternative site to get O2, Vodafone, 3, or T-Mobile?

oh i see.
yes my phone is branded to orange uk. my operator is o2 ireland. i bought it from england, unlocked it, rooted it and put my irish sim into it.
so should i have made a goldcard before i rooted it?
sorry, first time ive had to unroot and dont know anything about it.
are there any good guides available on how to do this? ive been searching google and youtube but can only find how to make a goldcard.
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
I would like to mention that i am not unrooting my phone to send it to Orange UK to be fixed or anything. I am unrooting it because i am selling it and the buyer doesnt want it rooted. In that case, can i use any carrier's original RUU?

What do you need an RUU for?
Y'all know HTC support warranty on the 2.3.3 GB release? Which is unbranded. This means you can flash this (if you don't get a CID error - for most of Europe) then it is warranty returnable without the need of a goldcard.

except the 2.3.3 comes with a bunch of bugs, and I've seen too many cases of people updating it and then the phone being stuck on the HTC logo... personally, I don't see the point of risking it.
what does it matter if its going for warranty repair whether it boots or not?

Hello. I have an issue. I want to install LeeDrOiD but before I do I want to find the stock ROM for my phone. I have a UK Three network phone and I'm having trouble trying to find a stock ROM incase my phone decides to screw up during the install of the custom ROM.
Can someone help me? I've had an issue in the past when I didn't download a stock ROM for my G1 and now it's eternally screwed.
I'd imagine it's one of these......

It's not on there. That's why I asked for help.
Are you sure your phone is branded, does it show you carriers logo on boot etc.?
Just do a nandbackup.

It was given to me by a Three Network engineer after I asked for a new phone. As far as I know it's a three phone. It comes with the three software onboard.
I'll probably do a nandbackup.
Thanks.
You do not need a backup / the stock rom because the 2.3.3 RUU should be accepted in case of warranty (at least HTC accepts it).
im on three uk also here. yours would be one of these if you was in froyo:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph..._32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_124822.exe
or this
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...8.00.32U_5.11.05.14_release_149217_signed.exe
if you upgraded 2.3.3 than just get it from the HTC website
I have a gsm usa t-mobel wildfire s pg76240. At this time the ruu is not listed on the htc dev web-sight. Its my understanding the bootloader is locked and there is no work arounds untill they update or release a ruu for this phone.
I have see a few post about people useing a different rom one there is a ruu for and unlocking the bootloader.
is this true. If say is it safe are there any chances of bringing the phone?
Thanks for reading my post
Hi, I'm on Tmobile UK and there is an RUU for my phone but it doesn't work, have also tried several others but no luck yet. Think might have to wait a long time for Tmobile to be so kind as to turn out an update,
As you can probably tell, this is my last contract with Tmobile.

Flash the latest euro ruu.
You will need to create a goldcard first.
Tried that too, still not working. What did you use?

No, stupidly thought it would be an easy process when I read " HTC Unlock Wildfire S bootloader".
Might have to look at creating a gold card.

what about phones with no ruu
Hey guys i bought an HTC One X from a seller on craigslist. The phone was purchased from China (i think). Although i can change the language and keyboard to English, i cant help but wonder if its possible to flash my phone to the UK ROM
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.26.401.2_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251208_signed
If so, will it break anything? Any pre-cautions i should take before hand? Im in the US and use the phone on AT&T. Thanks!

Tried that 2 seconds after unpackaging the phone No new software found.
[edit]Ignore this post. Thought serialtoon had this version instead of wanting this version[/edit]
I don't think it is a retail One X purchased in China. 1.26.401.2 is generic European version IIRC. You don't need to do anything with it. You're fine just using that version and should get updates before any of the carrier branded versions.
I've included the version of the ROM I'm on right now.

Ahh. I thought you were on that version now. Sorry. Misunderstood what you were asking.
At the moment, all you can do is unlock the bootloader at htcdev and flash a custom firmware. You can't apply an official HTC firmware or change the baseband firmware as the bootloader is still in S-ON mode.
Once/if somebody does work out how to put the bootloader in S-OFF mode then you can alter the CID and reflash it with an official US or European One X firmware.
