[Q] Brought DHD Overseas, Help!

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

[Q] Jelly Bean 4.1 update for Indian HTC One X

Hi there,
I have just got my hands on a indian version of One X 16gb through ebay, which is supposedly 3 months old (BOX SAYS ITS FOR INDIA WITH PRICE IN RUPEES AND MADE IN CHINA).
Software it is running is Android 4.0.4, HTC Sense 4.1, Software No. 2.17.707.3 by [email protected] Team
Now I tried to understand what has been said before and update my phone, It fids a uodate and downloads it but than displays the following message "we have identified that your phone may be running a modified version of system software. please revert your phone to official htc system software to update your phone. If you did not modify your system software contact us via support section htc.com"
I am not too technical and dont necessarily want to root my phone etc. ( I dont even know what it means). All I wanted was to improve the battery performance on the phone with new software. If there is no easy solution I am willing to go the whole length just give me the link to threads to follow (easy ones).
Regards,
Vik

whoever is using the stock hong kong 4.4.2 with cid Htc__622 would be kind enough to post when they get the update? I need to update my firmware already lol

Nokia N1 identification and Flashing Taiwan Firmware Help please!

Hi guys,
So i would love to purchase a Nokia N1 but it seems that the Taiwanese version is ultra rare and I really need google play services.
Anyway I have been looking on the forums and its been a long time since I have flashed anything and I am a bit scared about all the horror stories of bricked N1's and the lack of very clear noob guides on how to convert to Tawienese firware and actual have it working without issue.
Can any one tell me if it is worth purchasing the chinese version and will I actually be able to get it play services working or is it too much of a hassle for a noob and still too unstable when flashed?
I also wondered if the packaging label for the taiwan model differs from the chinese model? Is the Taiwanese model manufactured in Shenzhen or in Taiwan?
I have a picture of the label of the one I was going to purchase but I think it may be chinese version....
Any info and help identifying it would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

ship with Android 5.0 can flash Taiwanese version even if it is Chinese version.

I cannot recommend at buying Nokia N1. Device itself is fantastic but I cannot say the same about software. If you get the Chinese version with Android 5.1.1 (very likely) there is no way to downgrade it to previous 5.0 Android version that can be rooted. Without root there is no Google Play. There are some guides how to downgrade 5.1.1 version to 5.0 but you will only brick your device if trying any of those methods. There is almost zero community support for Nokia N1 and because of this I don't believe we are ever going to see a root for newer Android 5.1.1 version.
If you need Google Play (Android device without Google Play is a crap) please do yourself a favor and buy something else like Samsung Galaxy S2 8.0

Thanks for the info. I ended up finding a real nokia N1 on eBay from taiwan with Googleplay services installed, so all good. Don't need root so think I will just update normally through OTA. Should be OK I think. I agree chinese one looks like too much hassle.

[Himaulatt] Latest firmware

Hi. I just bought this phone, it came with Android 6 and I'm looking to upgrade it to android 11, but searching for the latest firmware, I only encountered "hima" , "himaul", "himauhl" or "himawl" codename devices. I even thought that my device was the "sprint" version or something (IDK, I do not live in America). But in the recovery mode the codename is "himaulatt".
Searching in another forums I realized that himaulatt was for the htc developer edition of the M9. So, anyone knows something about the firmware? I am planning to use the "developer edition firmware" but I'm not sure if my M9 is the right target...

[Solved]
Just install the Nougat Rooted Deodexed Rom (you can find it in the forum of the M9), it includes the firmware.

Hi, I just bought a copy of the same phone. Did you have a 3.x software version at the start? Could you please explain the steps you took to get to crDroid 7.12? Thanks!
