thanx dude!

Which part of Asian? What input languages does it come with?

I'm a Malaysian too
The only bad thing about this update and the ROM is the absence of Market :-( I don't like SAM.

thanks jesterz will be updating all the new official roms when i get them. its a weird thing though when malaysians doesnt have GMS on their device but singapore does. so weird. and its South East Asian ROM. it comes with chinese input and font as well. most likely you would root the phone i guess. lovin it. any other chinese reader who needs an application that installs application from your pc if u need it just PM me i will post it here.

Is there any zip Rom which can using recovery to flash it?
Ruu will over write hboot and causing trouble.
Thx

thx

Hi mystaka,
I am not sure about your problem as the device is still new here in SEA and i only have SEA units to test about. So far SEA device have given me no problems to installing this ROM. Maybe try another region ROM?

I have the exact same problem , i am running 2.73.707.9 at the moment, I can't install any official rom.

my hero from UK
can I install Asian ROM on it?
and what the different between UK ROM and Asia ROM?

Yea same here.Im from Singapore but yet the error says "customer ID error"... this is the SEA version what...

I know i'm digging into a pretty old thread. But just wanted to know if this SEA version works for the Indian version of Hero as well. I have a Hero branded by Airtel and I've been dying to get rid of the Airtel logo as that eats up all my boot time.

Re-installing Official ROM

Hi. Currently my phone's running on Windows Mobile 6.5 but it's not the official released ROM from HTC Support page. I wanna know if it's fine to download the official one from HTC and install it on my phone; which is also WM 6.5.
Thanks.

You should be able to flash back to your stock ROM. Is your phone an unlocked version from HTC or is it a branded version from a carrier? Also if you have hardspl your phone then you can flash any ROM you want..

what phone version do you have? On your phone, what kind of rom is it? Stock rom or cooked rom?

I don't know how to check my phone version. The ROM I got on now you mean? I'm pretty sure it was a cooked ROM. I got it from that page which shows countries and WM 6.5 versions. I can't find it anymore though. But I just chose the closest one from there.

Dont worry just flash the rom you like to try!

How do I check if it's GSM or CDMA? And if I install the official ROM and remove HardSPL, (for warranty and services purposes) would it still be fine? And yes, sorry if I'm being nubby...

Have a look here to find if you have a CDMA or GSM Rhodium:

IS there a sim card slot? no? then it is cdma. if there is a sim card slot it is gsm

@ the above: Not true, CDMA TP2's are WORLDWIDE which means they have a SIM-slot aswell.
To the OP: If you want to know what kind of device you have, it's pretty simple. Do you put a sim-card in your cellphone? If yes, which operator/carrier? Where are you located?

Yes it did. Thank you so much. So installing the official HTC WM 6.5 on my phone running already on 6.5 would be fine right?

Yes its GSM (which is the only service provided in saudi arabia and most middle eastern countries)
And yes you can flash to any rom if your device is HardSPL, just make sure its a GSM rom and not a CDMA one.
If you say you got the rom from the page with countries and 6.5 versions, those are official rom releases ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms ) not cooked roms.

YES! That's the link! I see, but at the time when I flashed my ROM with one of those, it wasn't the official release for my phone because I went to the HTC site and they didn't have it for Middle East yet. Now that they do, I wanna get that official one instead and then remove HardSPL for warranty and stuff just in case.

go ahead and download the official HTC rom for your device and flash it.
As for restoring the original SPL head over to the hardSPL thread and the steps to restore are at the end of the second post.
Best of luck

Thank you sooo much but another question though. The first step on removing HardSPL is flashing the stock ROM. Does that mean I have to flash my phone with its original ROM? Or is it fine with the one that I'm gonna put; which is the official 6.5 from HTC?

[Q] English (United States) on Singapore One X?

Hey Guys,
I am sorry for all of the n00bish questions lately, though I have the Singapore HTC One X running 1.28.707.10, and was wondering what the easiest way of getting a more common English variant on the device would be?
English (Singapore) and all of the other Asian English variants affect predictive text on the keyboard, which is why I am wanting a ROM with English United States, United Kingdom or Australia etc.
It is my understanding that I cannot put ROMs such as this one on the device (Europe 1.28.401.9), due to the devices CID?
Any help would be appreciated, there must be other people out there in the same situation? Is there a good custom ROM out there that is compatible with the Singapore version, and has a more common English variant?

aufens
I have a similar problem with mine saying English (France). Tho, I don't have any predictive text issues to speak of. I posted antutu benchmarks and got a French flag.

All roms available in dev section works in Asian firmware variant. I'm currently in 1.28.707.10 also and I've tried 5 different roms already which are based on Europe firmware 1.28.401 and got no problem flashing those.
Most of them english(uk) but team pkmn Rom also got english(us).

You can install apps to change location.
Like MoreLocale2, or LocaleSwitch, and set you locale.
Works for me.

Chinese Rom to European

Hi all,
Sorry for obviously being a noob. I am from Western Europe but bought my HTC Desire 816 in China and of course, as expected, there are no Google apps on it and even when I install Google Play store manually it doesn't launch the app.
I am thinking about whether or not I can put a different rom on the phone, a European (Dutch) one, or how does that work ?
Can anyone give me some advise please
Thanks!

Need help to find US firmware and rom to use LTE

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have an asian unlocked M8 and I live in Mexico so I cant use LTE. To solve this I got S-off, supercid, wwe mid and wwe firmware with Android Revolution Rom and still cant use LTE (Europe LTE bands do not include band 4 aws, so its the same crap). I tried to flash att and t-moble radio but mi phone did not recognise the radio file (Unknown baseband) so I get no signal. Then I flashed the wwe radio and got the same no recognition problem. The only way to get back signal is to flash again the firmware (it does not work to switch the att radio image in wwe firmware)
I need att or t-mobile bands to use mexican carriers Telcel or Movistar LTE (band 4 aws) and I guess I should use att or t-mobile firmware with the matching based rom.
- Can someone recomend me a rom version and firmware version to download??
- Is the unknown baseband problem because of the wwe mid? Should I also change the wwe to att or t-mobile mid and cid??
Thanks for your time and help!!

What if you current firmware version, is it Euro 4.16.401?
Where did you get the AT&T radio(s) and what is the file name?
Are you sure you are using the baseband for the right Android version (4.4.4 or 5.0, etc.)? If you are using the wrong radio for the Android version, that is the only reason I can see for any problems. As long as you are using the right version (Lollipop radio with a Lollipop ROM, etc), the radios should be interchangeable (with exception of Verizon, Sprint, M8x, dual SIM - don't mess with those).
But I would still advise to flash the whole firmware (not just the radio) to assure that everything plays well together.

I would suggest the Lollipop AT&T firmware (4.28.502) or Dev Edition (4.16.1540 - same band support as AT&T version) which you can get here (attached with the full ROM, unfortunately): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
After that, you should be able to use just about any Lollipop ROM for the M8.

Can I flash this firmware with another rom, say INSERT COIN? I read in the ROM instructions to use 4.16.401.10
Can I use the ROM attached to the firmware you suggested with my local carrier?
Thank you again for your help.

As I said, the firmware can be used with most any Lollipop M8 custom ROM.
The instructions say you need 4.16.401 firmware, but that's just a "lazy" requirement. Any Sense LP firmware should work with the current InsertCoin. To be fair, many of the "international" devs are Euro based, so they have little or no experience with other region's firmwares; and don't want to be held responsible for issues that arise for using them.
You should use or select the firmware based on region and carrier band support (in addition to Android version); not by ROM.
chortiman said:

Click to expand...

You can. I'm personally not crazy about AT&T specific "features" (as the ROM is meant to include). Even having AT&T as a carrier, I tend toward the non-ATT based ROMs.
You may need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get data connection.

Perfect.
I am currently in my work but at night I will follow your suggestions and come back tomorrow -or as soon as posible- to inform if this worked and may be useful to someone else.
Best regards!!

Hi,
I flashed succesfully the att latest firmware, but it is the same, no LTE signal.
I recently found this posts to UNLOCK QUALCOMM BANDS and I tried to follow the steps to do so, but they are very unclear and I got stuck in step 3.
I wanted to come back to this post to share a solution, but i cant find it. If you can complete the guide, please share your results.
Best regards.

Check your APN, sometimes carriers use a different one to support LTE.
Otherwise, if you tried only one firmware (such as AT&T) then try another: T-Mob or Dev Ed all supposedly support AWS.
