Touchy bunch aren't you? Anyone care to point us in the direction of some useful information?
Like what? 4.4 hasn't been released for the UK. In fact, it's only been released in less than a dozen region's. No one here knows when a specific region will receive it, why the regions that got it first were chosen, or anything else to do with Samsung's update logic and reasoning. If you have a 600/601 you can flash another region's ROM right now. You'll be able to do the same thing with a 605 as soon as the NEE update that came out yesterday is posted on Samfirmware or Samsung-updates. There are tons of posts discussing how to flash another region's ROM and the implications. If you're interested, invest the time in finding them. Or, you can just wait for the UK update to be pushed along with other folks whose regions haven't received the update yet.

So let it be written.....So let it be done.
As already stated here.

Please don't open more redundant threads. KK will come to your device with it comes to your device. Unless you work for Samsung, it is only speculation at this point.
And as you have said, I have Seen it and now I will Close it.

Hello everyone,
I hope I posted my first question here in the right area (if not, shame on me )
In the next few days my HTC Touch Diamond will arrive from Vodafone. I do not know if this is just in Germany but my last phone from Vodafone, a Sony Ericsson W810i, also had a "special" Vodafone-OS on it. On the W810i I was finally able to look up all the necessary information myself to make it a Vodafone-free phone. But as I read through all the available Wiki's, FAQs and other threads I am starting to see that this might be another level compared to what I have done before.
My questions concerning my new device are whether there is a possibility to change the "Vodafone-red-theme" to the original one which you also can see on HTC's homepage. Of course, the whole device should be in its original form, not just the theme, whereas the Vodafone-Services (SMS-Gateway and all the other service numbers which are needed to use the device). I think it is possible, maybe it has something to do with a "ROM-Upgrade" or so, as I have seen in a FAQ around here.
My other question is, of course, how to do that, what tools are needed etc.
In short, I need you to provide me the right link to a tutorial since here are so many and I do not know which one to take (and I do not want to screw up the device).
I hope that you can help me, if I accidentally posted this thread in the wrong forums might a moderator please be so kind to move it to the right section and notify me of my fault.
Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany (or Bavaria, to be more exact )
Zuzler
We'll let you off!
Yes, you are in the wrong section... you should be in the 'Diamond ROM development' section, but everyone is allowed one mistake (Except, myself... I have infinite mistake allowance!)
My device was vodafone branded when I got it, and that's the first thing I wanted to get rid of too.
First you need to 'Hard SPL', which unlocks the device so you can flash any ROM you wish. Then just flash your required ROM. I would highly recommend AZTOR's X2 Ultimate. He has the philosophy of keeping the ROM as close to the original stock ROM as possible, only better, stronger, faster... like the bionic man (I'm showing my age now!!).
Everything you need is in this tutorial. I followed it to the letter, and now my device is everything it should be. It's always very nerve racking the first time you flash your device, but what ever happens, there's some sharp wizard in this forum with the knowledge to get you out of the brown stuff... have fun
Hi grahamkdt,
thanks for you reply. I already thought after submitting that it would have been better to post this in the development area. I will contact a Mod immediately to solve that.
Thank you for the recommendation about the ROM, but there is still one problem for me:
Should I upgrade the "Radio" first, since in the tutorial you gave to me it is step B. Or is this just a prerequisite to not breaking anything? Are there also different versions?
Regards,
Zuzler

now we are all happy
Wow thanks, I also contacted tnyynt for that
Can't remember...

I can't remember if AZTOR's ROM's include the radio. It might be worth flashing a radio first from here. I use Radio v1.09.25.23 (Quad Band) (52.51.25.26H) - no issues at all.
Or, you could ask AZTOR if radio is included in his ROM's if you're really concerned. Personally I'd just flash one first anyway...
Ok, I will ask him personally (just seen hes from Germany, too - might make some things easier)
Thanks again!
I am awaiting my replacement EVO which will more than likely have FROYO 2.2 OTA on it when I recieve it, fortunatley my phone guy will give it to me unupdated in the event it dosen't have it. My guess is that is why I haven't recieved my replacement yet ( been two weeks on back order from Sprint) they are probably updating the replacements to break Root, so I'm just wondering if the Dev's have anything in the works yet...
Must have Root...
Thanx

To reiterate: If it's a question not pertaining to a specific devs work, and is not in that dev's thread, it should be in the Q&A section. Q&A stands for Question and Answer, for people that aren't aware.
To answer you question: No there is no root yet for the OTA 2.2

Quick question guys. Basically I want to go back to stock as best I can. I want it to pretty much look and feel like it did when it came out of the box. (though I'll keep clockworkmod and root on it).
Having some difficulty finding an official TouchWiz ROM...
I have the Australia t0lte model, bought through Optus. If there's one out there without all the Optus junk that would be even better, but doesn't matter all too much. A Vodafone version would be good as well.
So yeah, does anyone know where I can find one of these ROMs at all?
EDIT: ... Nevermind. Found it here: http://samfirmware.com/ just incase anyone else wants to find it.
Most of Sammy users know Sammobile
FYI this thread might helps you to flash the firmware
Hey Guys ,
I have been waiting for so long for the RUU . Anyone has an idea when is it going to be available ?
I just want be confident if i missed the phone up i could bring it back to default with a single file without the hassle of recoveries and flashing stock
nothing yet ?
HTC have never really officially released RUUs for their phones, they've leaked from service centres/HTC staff in the past. Some US carriers do release them but the unbranded ones are like rocking horse sh*t!
I have it for the US unlocked version but the forum doesn't let me post links.
Why not? Seems weird as this is the place to share

You have to have so many posts before you can post links. Its to keep bots/people from spamming the forums.

Just find a "Show us your home screen" or "Pics taken with your phone" type of thread. One of the reasons those are there is to provide ways to help newer members reach their 10 posts. Pretty sure you're still able to add pics as an attachment when <10 posts.
This works on CID BS_US001 unlocked version:

SAMMOBILE.COM is (effectively) the Samsung ROM portal. You should be able to find the latest build for your S7 there. MAKE SURE that the version you download is intended for the specific carrier / device it came with. Otherwise, bad things shall likely result. Pity you didn't get the international version, which is readily available in the USA. You can flash just about any of the EU builds onto it. Good Luck.

This is because that member didn't look to see if it's available on SamMobile first before referring you to it.
This specific device doesn't appear to be available (for some strange reason) within any of the handful of good Firmware sites that I have. I also noticed a bunch of individuals asking about this in the SamMobile forum as well.
This is the reason why I had referred you to those threads but, here's just a few more helpful items...

It's not a big deal my friend... :thumbup:
I've learned allot myself when I was getting into Member Guidance and i had also taken my lumps from some of the experts too.
I can only help advise/suggest/recommend to you the following brief (very brief because there's more to it) and important information...
1) Confirming and Confirmation: That you both understand the question the member is asking as well as the accuracy of the thread, area of the forum and the outside of the link your referring the member to.
2) Knowledge of the Subject: Know when to provide guidance because I've skipped over questions that I knew that I wouldn't be of much help with.
I wish you both the best of luck!
