Hi everybody,
The HTC triumph who should be the same phone as the HTC desire will be release in a few week I was wondering if i update the Rom radio of my desire with one in the HTC triumph, is it allow me to have access to 3g . Indeed the only difference between the 2 phone are the 3g frequencies.
Thanks for your answers.

first of all i highly doubt it, porting radios over sounds like brick heaven to me, more importantly why on earth would you want to do that?
Hi,
I used to live in France and I bought a HTC Desire there.
I moved to canada and the my phone works well except I can only use Edge. I checked the specs and I saw the frequencies are different between french operators and canadian ones. (I also have a HTC Kaiser who works well on the 2 networks, I do not understand why....)
So I am wondering if there is any solution to make HTC Desire working with 3g here or am I stuck with Edge ? It is not a big problem but it is a little bit slow.
Thanks for your help
I think you're talking about 850mhz vs 900mhz? If so, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here) it's a matter of hardware, so there's really nothing you can do about it. :/

Best to install the latest Radio Update from the Android Development section and see if that is any better, flashing the Radio from a different ROM IS a fast route to bricking

Yes it exactly my problem.
So I will try latest Rom as you suggest. I hoped this was a matter of drivers not hardware
Thanks for your help.

I am sure the rooting process will be different but will the ROMS be compatible since it is essentially the same device?

because its not the same device, for starters its 4g, it will use a totally diffrent radio version, drivers will be diffrent, it will use a diffrent framework..... want me to continue?
Well then hopefully there will be some Inspire 4G boards popping up soon.
No doubt they will, xda will support every htc device without question, keep in mind only a year ago this was a htc only forum

Ah, I'm from Texas also, a town on the outskirts of Houston to be exact. I haven't came across many people that know what a ROM is. Also, shouldn't this be in the Q&A section?
Yeah it should be but I'm no post patrole id rather help then yell. And I'm in huntsville here

Cos there's no overclock. Once HTC release the (hounds) kernel source the ROMs will be as fast as the Froyo Sense ROMs. Not as fast as CM6/7 though cos it has to run Sense in the background.
'Tis the route we take.
Wrong forum, moved to Q&A
I live in austin and don't know a single "cowboy". You make it sound like texas is full of idiots dude..unless you are into modding, know someone, or read tech posts like engadget, gizmodo, etc etc you aren't going to know what a rom is no matter where your geographical location is. Or they will think its a game rom like nes and psx because they used the word rom many years before android.

I plan on getting a wildfire soon. And I want to rot and install roms. But what I'm wondering Is does it matter if my phone is cdma and the roms are for GSM? Also are all the roms out for the wildfire GSM or cdma?
Cdma wildfire is called HTC bee, whereas gsm version is called HTC buzz. There is no custom recovery for HTC bee AFAIK. So don't get cdma wildfire if you want custom roms.
And why do you choose wildfire. It is already outdated. Many users with wildfire (including me) are willing to sell their phone. Now a days you get better devices than it even with low price. The LG optimus p500 and zte blade are preferable (if cam and flash is not given priority).
The newer wildfire s is not rootable as now. So it is also not recommended. Ignore if you are a sense lover.

He meant Wildfire S.
I'm planning to buy a phone, so 'm between this one and Samsung Galaxy S3, my question is, can the HTC One X be rooted? I've heard that latest versions cannot, please confirm this, thanks!
Yes, it can, you can find a guide here and probably a couple others in the same forum.
Even the latest versions? thank a lot!
I do not know about a "latest version". If you're talking about the latest software update, the unlock procedure is provided by HTC themselves, so it does work and it will work on all future updates and (hopefully) devices. However, I might be missing something if it's about a newer version of the device's hardware, so don't take my word for it...
Let's say it's possible in general terms, thanks! BTW, HTC or S3? I need to make a decision tomorrow :S
I have posted in your other topic. Feel free to PM me if you want to continue the discussion

for 300$ since i broke my sensation, good price?
its the international version (thank god) but if its international do i need a specific version to flash roms because back in the sensation forums, they were all the same.
If it's carrier branded, it somewhat restricts rom flashing capabilities.
Otherwise the international versions should be all the same regarding ROM flashing.

how do you know if its carrier branded, the guys told me its international and he got it from hong kong
An almost certain way to know it is to download cid getter from market and look at the cid. If the cid is something like tmob__xxx or vodap__xxx then it's branded.
Also branded phones often have special carrier apps and/or boot animation.
I doubt it being branded if it's from hong kong.

Maybe you should also go to bootloader vol down + power button for around 10-15 sec till you get into the bootloader, just so you make sure it is really original HOX , there are rummors about many *fake* hoxes coming from china. Anyway 300$ is a great price for hox.

Yeah, download cid getter from the playstore and you'll see above the cid of that device, then you could post the cid number in here so we can tell you from where it comes from.
You'd be better off buying any decent android tablet and picking up a dirt cheap Nokia.
Since i got my tablet I hardly ever use apps on my phone.
I'm only using my phone now cos my gf is hogging my nexus. Damn her to hell...

Don't do it. There are more developer friendly phones available and that means that the people with this phone are often so grateful that they don't question the predicament we're in. We have no official working CyanogenMod build at all. In fact we only have a slightly dated Paranoid Android and a fantastic AOSP build (thanks PabX).
This phone is far from liberated and with developers of the mindset that they won't try until kernel sources of which they have no ETA are released, it's not looking like we'll see freedom any time soon. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to said developers, they've already done much more than I could've, but I feel it's only fair to give you some context as to what you'd be getting in to.
That said, this is the prettiest phone of its generation.
