Ok, might seem a strange question but I come from a Samsung Galaxy S and I'm still feeling the HTC very different...
So my situation is this... I'm at Portugal but I bought an HOX (international version) from a British friend locked to O2. I've network unlocked it (ebay code), unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. It still boots up with an O2 splash screen. I tried googling for the latest HTC stock Rom as that would be the way to go about with the Galaxy S but doesn't seem the way to go with the HTC.
That's a bit of the reason why I'm posting this because I'm not even sure what to ask exactly or google for. So here's my main questions/issues...
Am I right to assume that the stock rom on my phone is not an HTC stock rom (like the thing that would come with a sim free phone) but a O2 stock rom? And the reason I'm asking this is because there is a "news" tab on HTC UK, France, etc advertising an OTA update to Android 4.0.4, Software number: 2.17.401.2 on 8/10/2012 (I thought it was today but now I think it meant 10th of August as there are other threads about this dating from then).

}
So the version I have is Android 4.0.4. with Sense 4.1 but the software version seems older than what is announced on the HTC site: software number 2.17.206.2. Why is that? Because the rollout to my phone is made by O2 and not HTC?
If my assumptions are right, how do I go about flashing a stock HTC ROM because I won't be able to update OTA anymore? I'm assuming that since I'm not in range of the O2 network.
Sorry for the long post but like I said I don't even know how to formulate a short question and gad to give you the broader picture. Any help would be much appreciated!!
Yes, you still have a carrier branded ROM, unlocking the bootloader and rooting doesn’t change the it. You have to flash to change the ROM. Since you have already unlocked the bootloader, you might as well flash a custom ROM to get the most out of your phone.
Head over to dev section, there are many sense based custom ROMs like Revolution HD, maXimus, Viper X etc. The first two already have JB versions (based on a leaked HTC JB ROM). I use Viper X because it has lot of customization options, but they haven't released a JB version yet. Or you can go completely AOSP with Cyanogenmod.
Viperx here as well and enjoying every minute of it. Almost too many possibilities if that's even possible. I
I'll have to take a look at the those custom ROMs, I know it's a bit silly owning a droid phone and being a bit afraid of that stuff but I never had a very good experience with those... always my fault though.
I do realize that a custom ROM is probably a must with this phone, as its been a beast tamed by a lot of software issues that brings it down.
Just a couple more questions... If I fail miserably installing a custom ROM and have to roll back, it will go back to the O2 ROM or is it possible to flash a sim free HTC one? (I already know half the answer but anyway...) Never mind... first pinned thread on the dev forum
And because of such possibility, how does OTA updates work? I'm assuming the phone connects to some kind of HTC server that has the approved carrier update? Or is it done via the carrier, hence rendering my phone virtually impossible to update unless I go to the UK?
Thanks for the help so far guys!
The phone connects to an HTC server using the Internet, not some magic GSM data transfer system, so it doesn't matter where you are in the world, provided you have Internet access from your phone.
Sounds like you have the latest version anyway (for now).
You can't install an official unbranded ROM, but since you're unlocked, you can go with a custom ROM. You can't get the official JB leak because your CID won't match.

Thanks Ben, I spent a great deal of time yesterday looking for your first answer. It's probably so evident I couldn't find it anywhere Again, it's my long years with the Samsung to be blamed... you updated it with the rubbish Samsung Kies (a serious PITA) or via Odin plus whatever ROM.
I've also learned a lot by going through the tutorials here, especially that we still don't have the S-off so that's why things aren't so simple yet.
I was considering the JB with Sense+ too but my CID is (I think) O2---1... so no, it won't work :crying: But Viper X looks good, especially because you can get it very close (or similar) to the stock look. Part of the reason I'm loving the HOX and not regretting getting the S3 is because how simple and clean it looks, without all the gimmicks and clever ways of doing this and that. It might not be so intuitive (at least I'm not used to it yet) but I've already realized it's a lot more to the point than the Samsung stuff.
Well, now running ViperX 2.7 and although I have most tweaks turned off, it's great to have back stuff like the percentage of battery, quick settings like internet network and sound profiles when long pressing the power button and quick settings for stuff like bluetooth on and off from the drop down bar.
Best thing is probably not being dependent any more of O2 updates but still having those with an OTA.
Couldn't still figure out how to make the drop down notification window solid and not transparent. You can tweak the notification bar transparency but not the window? (sorry, these things aren't probably called what I'm calling them but I think you know what I mean).
Thanks again for the help guys!

Try Sam Firmware site.
Doesn't look like they've got the exact firmware but you might be happy with something else under the "Asia" group of firmware.
You will need Odin to flash this. Instructions are on the website. And you will need to create a login (simple, nothing much requested to create a profile).
Could someone provide modem file for this firmware???
Ok will definitely try it. Too bad it's not JPO, tho. So after flashing this, is it ok to put in an optimized kernel and stuff?
I got the phone up and running altlast yay... but via recovery mode.. still very eager to upgrade... but with this NZ version if possible
Have you got any way of posting the rom? I have tried upgrading via the keis registry hack and it tells me that the original jj1 is not ready for upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated. I am on the Telecom network.
Cheers.
Be great if the modem from the TNZ could be extracted!
For ROM downloading, try this guy here:
http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000...41/samsung-mobile-firmware-queries-downloads/
I think he's ok. I once sent him 6 euros for a query and a download request and he returned them right back, because my specific ROM wasn't available.
Thanks for the link mate
I'm watching this one as well. After bricking my I9000T already trying to get to 2.2 I'm ikely to try this soon (when I get it back). Not game to do it on the wifes phone
Do we know if this is official TNZ branded firmware, or generic/unbranded?
@all, will this get the official froyo on my 850 next g telstra(australia) I9000T? and can you plzz tellme how to upgrade with kies hack? sorry im a noob, plzz help me out..id be greatful. cheers
Open up 'regedit' and go to the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB' key. Then delete all the keys below it (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...).
Then open Kies and connect your phone so that it is detected by Kies.
Close Kies and run the EXE that you download for the Registry Patcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628).
You should get a prompt to set the patch to 'True', select your sales code (not sure what Telstra is sorry), the current versions you want to report etc.
I haven't gone any further than that personally as I don't have 'my' phone back and the risk of problems from doing the wife's is just too frighting LOL.

I'm with Telstra (GT-9000T) and I flashed this with Kies and the reg patcher. Works well, 850 band still there had to put the Telstra info back in for MMS and Internet.
This had a "telecom" splash on start up and two apps from the the same brand. Still much better then the 26 Telstra puts on.
Hope this helps.

Guessing the two apps were 'Y!X TWorld' and 'Your Telecom'? That is pretty much the Telecom customised firmware then. While I hate customised firmware I'm pretty keen to get to 2.2 so perhaps the wife's phone will succumb afterall

I was really surprised when I got the phone home a few weeks ago that I couldn't immediately update to 2.2, seeing is it has been out for months and all. I guess that's one of the annoying things about each hardware manufacturing trying to put their personal touch on things. Might look at the Nexus S for this reason a bit later...

Thanks for the instructions they were helpful and anybody in NEW ZEALAND on Galaxy can do this update its easy as and its for Telecom NZ...
Also here is a nice walk-through translated by google... its in spanish
http://translate.google.co.nz/trans...=/search?q=%5BROM%5D+I9000T+I9000TDOJP2&hl=en
This is rooted stock ROM as it comes out of the box with latest OTA. Nothing is changed, except root access.
It is simply nandroid backup image of stock ROM, clean with root access, as I'm not good at ROM cooking. As far as I know Villains are already working on VR13 anyway so if you want flashable ROM just be patient.
For the reference:
latest OTA version fixes Peep security issues and also patches a lot of other system files
ROM is very fast (fastest Sense ROM I ever used) even with default kernel (Neocore:34fps @710 with Flykernel)
very stable, nice low memory killer, even under intense use, like listening music and browsing, Rosie stays in memory
compatible with Flykernel
/system partition is full so if you need busybox you will need to remove some apps.
boot.img is not modified so ro.secure=1 is set to 1. Functions like adb root or adb remount won't work. I started to look into it, but I got lost so if some devs are willing to change it then you are more than welcome.
INSTALL:
unzip file to sdcard/nandroid/[phone_serial_number]/
reboot into recovery
do your ROM backup
do full wipe
restore this ROM from backup
when you use 1st time adb shell, su, don't forget to click "Allow" for superuser

edit: as far as I know it brings update for peep client. Looking more deeply whats inside teddy bear it seems that it patches a lot more files. Also seeing that 2nd major version number changed from 32 to 36 I guess it brings more than some minor updates/bug fixes.
OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.36.405.1-3.32.405.2
P.S.Btw, don't install OTA update on rooted phone. In the best case it will pop an error, in the worst you will loose root access to your phone.

Interesting. Might HTC have a surprise for the 2.1 hero owners? It's just 6 megs though so maybe a small update to Sense? Found a guy on a swedish forum that also reported that they found an update... interestingly.

Its small size because HTC uses patches instead of changing whole file.
That Peep update is only for the HTC WINMOBILE phones. Didnt see an android one in it.

couldn't install it though (phone is rooted)
anybody able to change it for rooted device?
thanks
Is it possible to change the file for a rooted device? Because I don't like the idea of installing the original ROM again and lose al my settings and apps.
Ok.
To install this, you need to have all the files identical to that way HTC shipped it
So don't try to flash it. If I get time, I will look at making it safe and usable by patching against a clean ROM manually
just checked for updates on my orange hero uk and its there
Got this installed on my Hero now. Just waiting on it to finish loading up so I can dump the ROM and work on it

Oh, no rush. Whenever its ready. Btw you could just release clean untouched version, rooted with busybox and leave it odexed.
Ok. I couldn't bear to see the hideous mess it was from HTC...
I deodexed and optimised it fully. I rooted it, and busyboxed it.
But, I got tired and put wrong busybox in it, so it broke.
I will look at it again tomorrow.
Will see about a stock version too, but my upload speed is useless so I will need to see what I can do
HI guys,
Welcome to the first Windows Phone 7.8 BETA ROM. No this is not a scam it is the real thing. So, if you do not want to wait several months before Microsoft release it you should give it a try.
THINGS TO BE AWARE:
. OS Version: 7.10.8835.35
. ONLY FOR HTC HD7 (I will try to port it to other devices as soon as I have some free time)
. Available languages: only English
. You can now have the the new Windows Phone 8 Start Screen.
. I did not test it properly, I was in a hurry to share with you guys. :fingers-crossed:
. For sure, it is still a Microsoft Beta Build so some thing may not work, specially in none Nokia Devices.
. The Rom was dumped from a Nokia device and is based on Tango 12180, because it won't boot if we use WP 7.8 kernel.dll and probably most 3d party apps from Marketplace might crash.
. The Rom is almost untouched, this means it is not full unlocked or rooted and homebrew apps will not work (for now ). It has only a few Deepshining customizations.
. You can always flash back a WP7.5 Rom if you wish.
PLEASE dont flame if Rom is bugged or some things do not work. This is what I got now and I haven´t change it too much but it a start for future versions

Nothing really new, this must be an early build. One thing it bugs me is that Themes do not work so probably we might have something new related with themes soon
amazing work ill be beta tester anytime
for hd7 and surround and titan
Now if we can figure out how to rip the new start menu for all phones that would be epic
interesting ...... i just think that microsoft should do a beta of 7.8 like they did with mango last summer....
They just ditched us and said "lets pretend we care, and you guys buy a new one happyli".
They will not release any beta. Bet it.

So, questions
Have a T-Mobile HD-7 (running it on Wind-Canada) and stuck at latest oem firmware (.8107), does the annoying no connection bug when wi-fi and 3G are both on bug, still exist? Its driving me nuts, i would flash just to get that fixed.
Other than backup, does one need to do anything before flashing this rom? My hd7 still a virgin, i haven't done anything to it other than OEM updates.
Thanks, and

Not hard at all, just takes someone willing to do it, and someone willing to be patient enough to deal with a broken ROM.
until the final official release is there hope to get only the start screen on a "working" ROM?! on devices like HTC 7 Pro? I would like to have only the start screen, i dont need new features, until the official release. But then again i dont need some extra functions
tried opening it with OSbuilder and htcrie, both failed.
Oh well
First of all, please forgive me if any of this is answered already somewhere. I'm using the XDA app and AFAIK, it's impossible to search within a forum (can only do entire XDA).
I'll be getting this phone in about a week or two and need to know some things:
1) What Android version is the latest ATT firmware at? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Or something else?
2) Does the stock firmware have a USB Mass Storage option?
I cannot connect my phone to my car for music playback without UMS (MTP doesn't work).
2.1) If the stock firmware doesn't have UMS, what custom kernels support it? Or how can I enable it permanently?
3) How do you like your phones?
I can't wait to get mine!
4) I plan to stick with the stock ROM for a while, but just root and debloat it and install CWM and a custom kernel.
Are there any custom ROMs that anyone absolutely recommends over stock? (Just like the opinions here).
(FYI: I'm experienced with rooting and flashing, underclocking, and undervolting)

I may have found my answer to #2. I obviously can't try it yet since I don't have my phone yet, buy I can tweak build.prop once rooted in order to not only enable UMS, but also force it. I never realized it was that easy!
Unless anyone wants to answer the other questions, this thread can be ignored for now (until i get my phone and if i have issues).

First of all, please forgive me if any of this is answered already somewhere. I'm using the XDA app and AFAIK, it's impossible to search within a forum (can only do entire XDA).
I'll be getting this phone in about a week or two and need to know some things:
1) What Android version is the latest ATT firmware at? 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Or something else?
2) Does the stock firmware have a USB Mass Storage option?
I cannot connect my phone to my car for music playback without UMS (MTP doesn't work).

1.) 4.1.2
2.) No it does not have USB Mass Storage. Here are the options it does have:

2.1) Dont know. Only have used stock ROM with Stock Kernel.
3.) Love it. Came from the Note 1 and wont look back.
4.) I dont plan on trying anything but stock for quite a while. While I do miss some options from 4.2.2, they are not so important that I want to flash a custom ROM just to get lock screen widgets. I can live without the few things that was added. I just rooted and debloated my stock and it is a gem.
I need UMS in order to connect my phone to my car for playing MP3's off my phone and controlling them with the steering wheel controls.
How can I enable UMS?
Setting, custom ROM, custom Kernel, mod?
Can anyone answer this?
(And YES, UMS is available on Jelly Bean 4.1.2. My Galaxy S2 had it, but I had to use a custom Kernel to enable it).
ALSO. Can someone test this APK and tell me if it works?
http://www.freeware4android.net/lg-.../usb-mass-storage-toggle-download-230200.html
You install it, and just plug in your USB cable and it should auto enable UMS. Uninstalling it should disable this.
(I'd do this myself, but I still don't have the phone yet).
OK, so my current phone is running Jelly Bean 4.3 (CyanogenMod 10.2) and I just set it to MTP and it works in my car. When this phone was running ICS, MTP would not work in the car, so either it is CyanogenMod allowing MTP to work somehow, or Jelly Bean tweaked MTP since ICS.
I am now thinking that the LG Optimus G Pro set to MTP will work in my car. I can only hope though :fingers-crossed:
I might as well finish this thread.
I just got the OGP yesterday and the first thing I tried was to connect it to my car. It works and yet it doesn't.
Even though the phone only does MTP, my car does read the internal SD of the phone. This would be OK if the internal SD's available space was truly 32GB, but because of how the phone is designed, the actual memory available was more like 22GB. If you install a bunch of apps, then that space will decrease even more.
I didn't take the chance to see if this new phone has the same issue as my old phone, where the car only reads a VERY small portion (30 out of 1000+) of the music collection.
I decided to just use my phone as an MP3 players for my headphones and I bought a separate memory card for my car. It's not what I'd prefer, which is a single device with all of my music on it, but it works.
Overall, I am absolutely loving this phone though! :good:
Id like to stay with pixel instead of having to sell and then buy a new phone, just hassle, but iv seen proton is a very good ROM to run, my issues are with updates, how would you update the proton ROM? And is it easy enough to revert back to stock if needed?
Thanks.
If you want more privacy and security, as well as regular updates, GrapheneOS is an excellent option. Not sure the Proton ROM has OTA-like updates though

Graphene is a privacy based rom that lacks some crucial functionality if you need everything running. This is according to various posts on here and Reddit. Some people love it, and I'm sure some don't. I saw someone that liked it a lot but had to roll back because they couldn't get something or other working. But it depends on your needs.
As for Proton there is no OTA but updates are posted and they are a simple web install that takes about 4 or 5 minutes. Nothing is wiped if you are updating. After installing you can relock the bootloader if you want but that's another wipe as I'm sure you know. This is a very stock rom with a lot of tweaks in the background. FPR for one. It's much quicker although not perfect yet. Also the latest version is the December build with all security and most features enabled. One difference, of many, is that call screening is still available on this build. Call on hold is not. I flashed this rom and then installed the November radio over it since it does come with the crappy December radio. It's way better, I don't lose signal very much although I still do occasionally. Bottom line I like it and would have a hard time going back to stock. I'm not rooted and after the next update I might relock the bootloader, wipe the device and leave it at that.
Reverting to stock is the same as with any other custom rom. You can web install stock or manually fastboot it. Not a difficult process.

Hey I just tried there now and I unlocked the bootloader but it keeps saying about available space and if I'm using an incognito browser? Is there a specific browser I need to use to do this, I tried chrome and edge? Says I need 5gb available, my pc has like 1TB, any suggestions

What about not incognito? I heard there was some limits on that space wise.

I'll head over there now. I did see that a day or so ago.
edit: looks like the problem arises if you have multiple profiles on Chrome. I think the manual install is not that difficult though if you still run into problems. Flashall.bat -w to wipe the device then flashall.bat to install the rom. Don't do a thing until it's done. It's tempting because you get a fastboot menu allowing you to restart the device. Don't do it let the rom install direct you. I actually forgot if it's an auto reboot into the rom or finally the rom instructs you to reboot. But it should be pretty clear.

Maybe you can borrow a computer from an associate for about 5 minutes? Worth a try. Good luck let us know how you made out.

Are you using a VPN by chance? VPN are known to cause issues with wireless devices trying to connect (printers, Sonos (audio), debugging, et cetera), since your two favored toys can't "find" each other any more.
Can anyone currently using this ROM try out the translate function from the screen shot menu? I included a screen shot of how it normally presents with the results after selecting translate.
Also if you test it, there needs to be enough of a foreign language on the screen and also it might not trigger of it has your default language on the screen mixed in
