Hey guys,
Just been looking around these forums lately and you all seem like the intelligent bunch so i was hoping you might be able to help me out here.
I Recentlly brought a desire HD from an online website (mobicity) and its a great phone/device, but it has come from singapore. its unlocked/unbranded but it feels like its not an australian/WWE stock rom. I am completely new to the world of android with this phone being my entry class but im pretty clued on when it comes to tech stuff (I've flashed other devices before, PSP's, iPhones) and after a bit of research, seems getting a "stock rom" is the way to go but i dont want a carrier branded one (telstra, 3, virgin) as im with a carrier that doesnt sell the HTC DHD, or I dont want a custom rom, I just want it to be a normal unbranded HTC thats as close to where im from.
When I select the languages I only get 3 choices - English[HK] and 2 chinese languages (not sure what they are!)
If it helps here is my software info:
Model: A9191
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28g.60.140fU_26.05.05.27_M3
Build: 1.84.832.2 CL333804 Release-keys
Software number: 1.84.832.2
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
Any help/Tips/Advice would be awesome guys!
thanks in advance!
Somewhere around here is an RUU for Oz and / or WWE version which should help you out.
Better still, go forth and "Root" *groan* about in the development forum.
I really really should apologise for that pun but I not going to...
Just a heads up, I've recently heard that the folks in Germany are getting their Gingerbread update, so I suspect the rest of the world is gonna get his pretty shortly. If you don't feel like waiting around then go on to the dev. section and check out the stock rom final build 2.36 that was recently released. You can flash it with out root access.
Good luck mate!
Software number: 1.84.832.2.. The 832 does indeed refer to a HK based ROM. Look for 405 in the software number for a stock WWE ROM. Example is 2.36.405.8 which I am currently running. (Gingerbread)
There's a few WWE ROMs here:

Hi Guys,
thanks for your help so far but when i Try to install another rom (older or newer) i get Customer error 131
with a bit of reseach seems i may have to get a "gold card"
so its more money for a micro SD unless theres a way around this error?
Also just been informed by my phone suppliers that stock roms are covered by warranty so im more relaxed about flashing now
thanks again

IMO, your supplier mean the stock rom for current device is refer to HK stock rom only. If your are from HK rom, then its should be HK rom only. If you flash others wwe stock rom, its mean you avoid your warranty. My meaning is, when you root your phone, you already avoid the warranty. In order to choose others stock rom to flash in your HK phone, you required your phone to be root first..

I got mine imported from the UK (through clove.co.uk)
I'm with virgin mobile and have just kept the stock ROM it came with.
Just thought you should know there's some other people like you on here
hey guys
Well its still not working
Everytime ive tried to load up the WWE rom I get customer ID error 131
just curious, does it have to be a newer verison or can it be an older one too?
After speaking with the guy that sold me the phone he suggested the gold card method which didnt work either...am i stuck with this HK-rom?
[SOVLED]
So I Finally did it!
heres what i did:
Followed the Guide found here
THEN discovered my device was branded so i need to make a goldcard on MMC2 (been using mmc0 Prior)
Then Flashed via recovery mode to 1.32
then upgraded to 1.72!
the only think that worried me is that when i was 1.32 i couldnt do an update via the phone...was that a bug that was fixed later on?
just happy to have stock f/w on now, the phone seems quicker too!
thanks guys, for the help, and hope this will help anyone else with the same issue
if you went to all that trouble to flash your device, why don't you give customs a try?
I personally use CM7 with a Android Phone 7 skin.
If speed is your thing, the CM7 has overclocking options on it to make it more zippy, though its fast still plenty faster then with the stock roms. I've heard Android Revolution is even faster, but its running 2.2
Worse comes to worse, you can always restore back to your current rom.
lol due to warranty limitations i may jsut stick with the unbranded roms for now, or if my carrier (iiNet via optus) release a branded F/W ill go with that playing it safe works fine for me till i work out wha tthis phone can do for now

Can anyone give me 1.34.708.5 hong kong rom?
It is an Android 2.2 system
Here's 1.34.708.3, which is from HK.
RUU_Vision_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_1.34.708.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154602_signed.exe
For a big list of shipped roms, go to shipped-roms.com
-Nipqer
i knew it before
But i really need a rom is 1.34.708.5 from hong kong
Why that specific rom? Are you sure it exists?
I don't really see them releasing a rom .2 very minor revisions apart.
-Nipqer
It is because this rom is an official rom, I really want to get it back.
Also, maybe someone can provide a rom which can show Chinese Language and the version is Android 2.3.3 or higher
Thank you so much
Hi
I bought an LTE N5210 note 8 from HK via a company called Panamoz. Unfortunately, it is not getting updates beyond 4.1.3, and I know that 4.2.2 is available for it. Does anyone know how to reset the CSC such as it reports that its a UK note, or indeed, can I flash the UK Firmware?
Not really interested in root cause it stops a couple of banking apps I use working, but I guess I can root, flash then unroot?
Anyone else had any experience of the HK note, I dont really want to brick my device.
I can confirm that it works fine with LTE from EE - something else that I am reading might break if I update it to the UK firmware.

Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice here with my newly purchased Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605).
I'm in Australia and I bought it from what I thought was a reseller with the local version but when the device turned up it had an international power plug and what looks to be a Hong Kong ROM.
So first thing I did was try and flash it with the Australian unbranded firmware and every time Odin fails with an FAIL! (Size) error. I've tried both the unbranded and the Telstra firmware with no luck. The only way I could get the device back to a working state was by installing the Taiwan ROM (I expect the Hong Kong ROM may have worked too).
Anyone got any suggestions as to how to resolve this? Having the Chinese keyboard pop up frequently when I connect my bluetooth keyboard is pretty annoying. I've read some stuff about this perhaps being related to partitioning?
Other options I'm looking at are flashing the device with the UK firmware and even the South Korean 4.4.2 firmware. I've got a Galaxy S5 with 4.4.2 and I think it is much nicer than 4.3 - would be good to standardise the OS on both as the little inconsistencies are a bit annoying.
Appreciate any thoughts and thanks in advance.

DON'T flash the Korean KK firmware... When looking for a rom only pick P605 rom, the Korean rom is a different model number.. It will brick your device.
Try the UK rom (BTU). You should be able to flash just about any P605 rom (nothing with with letters behind) but the Oz rom is weird... I'm in same boat, got the Hong Kong 32gb P605 but can't flash Oz rom. Not gonna sweat it though as there are a bunch of other roms out there with a release of KK not far off, the nordish Notes just got updated to KK on the 29th...
Shouldn't be too long...
4.4.2 installed

Not to worry - I've installed 4.4.2 NEE from the instructions at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766394&page=12
Only one problem though - the left key on the Galaxy S5 brings up the app list while on the Note 10.1 2014 it brings up the settings menu (same behaviour as my S4). I don't care either way really but some consistency would be nice!! Dunno how many times already I've pushed the left button on the Note looking for the app list.
Dear community,
I currently got a LG G3, it is not branded, and I live in Austria (it was also bought here). The former owner already flashed CyanogenMod on it. But I want to go back to stock and start from there. I am familiar with flashing etc, but I cannot find the Stock ROM in Austria (I assume there are specific ROMs for each country, almost like it is for the Galaxy S3?).
Thanks a lot in advance for any kind of help!
