Windows Phone 7 Total Unbranding (or Debranding?), by ansar. - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Dear forum members,
I successfully changed even the SPL and it works.
In the up to now WP7 unbranding ROMs it was changed the Radio, the XIP, the OS and BLDR etc.
So we can call it debranding, or not?
I can not estimate yet the implications on future developments but fore sure only the vendor ID checking is left.
Regards, ansar.

Hi, is there any way to change the boot loader on Omnia 7 to some how re-enable Download Mode on devices that have the 3 button Download Mode combo disabled?

question 1 how
question 2 htc devices
question 3 I can assume this helps for users that unlock their phones and use them on different network, or no?

Hi,
- By changing the flashing process a bit.
- Yes it is definite for all htc devices, and any other brand too since the process is not device specific.
- I do not know yet because my device is unlocked but other users can feedback.
I am just testing an HD 7 to see if it is faster/stable than a previous unbranding rom inside.
Regards, ansar.

Samsung I780 - Roms - Boot, Radio and PDA Thread.

Hello everyone.
This is starting to become a big mess. At least for me, so i think its better for us to start a thread with a list of available roms and with a description of what new on them , witch is the better boot and radio, etc, for each specific situation.
Joao Oliveira.
yeah...
great idea. i had so much trouble just find latest radio rom for i780.

Yeah.
At this point i don't know which eboot or radio or even rom to flash there are so many threads around and with confusing arguments that i thought i would be good to a concentrated thread with all the necessary info!
hmmm is there any other camera tool? cant even run my... giveing an error and closing it
We Need Our Own Forum!
I am running PDA DXHD1 and phone DXHC4. Everything is running fine, ie WIFI, GPS, etc. But I do agree a designated forum would be helpful for everyone to share knowledge on this great machine.
Yes Samsung i780 should have it's own forum but i don't we will be that lucky. The only non Htc/qtek forum there is one dedicated to and hp device (don't understand why??!) so ...
A question, did anyone tried to flash rom (phone, Pda or eboot) on network sim locked devices? I have one and i'm a bit scared of bricking it. And since there isn't any free unlocking solution available...
Thanks... lets keep the I-780 community growing here !!!

I have flashed my orange branded I780, the pda and radio rom and no problems.
maybe we should create something like the (unofficiel) ultimate I780 topic .. with a good startpost where some differences between roms are mentioned are the big bugs are explained / solved with the tweaks available.
just my 2 euro cents

It's living here on xda-dev. Thanks for keeping it alive.
dear forumners i have a ROM question for the i780 (especially for Mr. João Oliveira).
Is it possible to just update the phone (i780) with just some installation rom? what about hardware specifics or tech issues with each phone?
I have a TMN Portugal i780 but have unlocked it in order to use Vodafone PT... Other networks around the globe have released their updates to WM 6.x, 6.5.x. I wish i could do the same.
Any help?
Thank you

same here!
Read the Kaiser Wiki or the dutch ROM dump thread here in diamond forum for dumping instructions.
I could also extract my original (german) htc rom - but i do not know how. if someone can put me in the right direction, i will do this.
No one uploads his ROM
OK let's start with some hints
first read this:
push me
post #18 shows you the way, but read from the beginning to understand the dump procedure.
The tool don't work ?
read this (point 6)
Come on guys, lasst es uns wagen..
i could give it a try - but is it worth trying since i only have the rom version 1.37.00.00? i think there's a newer rom out there, isn't there?

So it seems that YOU have to dump your rom However I did read that a higher number (1.37.407.2 > 1.37.00.00) does not inevitable imply a newer rom. Does someone know something about that?
Anyway I ask myself how it could be that the phone is out just a few days in germany and there are almost so much different rom versions?
Btw: Do you have an original HTC device or a branded one?

End of (official) HTC ROM support for the Diamond?

hi guys,
do you think we'll see any more official ROMs from HTC? The latest I know of, are the 1.93.xxx series. It seems they are working on the odd radio update (probably to try and stop unlocking?)
I recall they gave up with the Trinity after about 10 minutes. Thanks god for the cookers...
I'm very unimpressed with the performance of TF in general. If it was a bit snappier I'd be a lot happier.....Then again maybe WM6 is part of the problem - I don't know.
Love the handset and the screen.....
Well.. HTC have just released version 1.96.710.3 on the Asia web site for the Diamond for the Australian Optus and Vodaphone carriers. Won't flash onto the Telstra model - gives an Invalid Model ID error.
I believe this can be fixed however.
Perhaps someone would care to flash it and check to see what has been updated?
Link please??

Start with a task 29, and then load the stock rom. If you can do that then perhaps your phone is not bricked.
Here is a link to the US Cellular shipped Rom. Let us know how it works out for you! Just keep trying, I have not bricked a device yet! =]

If that is to far above your head then you really should read a lot more before trying to flash a phone.

It sounds like you have a CDMA TP2. I would sugest that you read the forums at PPC they focus more on CDMA roms.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp-development/
Now I would sugest the Energy rom myself. Lots of people like it. I am running an android rom, but I would sugest you get the hand of WM first. You can run the android rom from and SD card, but if you want to load it from internal nand memory it is much more complicated.
+1 Wizardknight. I would check out these two threads for two excellent Roms:
Energy Rom
Sharkie405 Rom

Is there a topic here talking about these things?
Also I've read about upgrading to 4.2.2... is this update official or will damage my warranty?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Have you ever hacked any android device? (some concepts are valid to all android devices and some are specific).
I could explain some (general) terms and concepts if you want.
Anyway, there is a lot of info in this forum (XDA in general).
Good luck !!
