I know this is probably one of the most FAQ about here, but despite this I can't find the answer with either of the two search facilities.
Using this forum, I unlocked my phone with the pay method.
I now need to flash an original ROM (or even an original looking ROM) and hopefully still keep the phone unlocked.
Can someone point me in the direction of the relevant threads ?
Thanks for the help !

You need to do a Hard SPL before ANYTHING else.
all you need can be found in the stickies in the ROM section.

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

If you can't find a rom to flash here, then you are NOT ready to do this. Also since you say you have a G4 MDA you had better make sure you understand what that means and how to "flash" or you will find yourself with a dead phone.
Please read the stickies at the top of this forum and the top of the Wizard WM6 forum as they have info to help you do all of this (step by step) without risking your phone.
Then look in the various rom threads as they all have links to the roms. There are even threads that are just about where to get roms...
While people here are wlling to help, we aren't going to do this for you, so you need to research and dig in.
Hi I'm a newbie.
Just wanted to see if I can upgrademy ROM to WM6.5?
I have search a lot and dont' seem to be able to find a thread that I understand.
Been also looking at threads on how to fix my CallerID problem. The HTC support download doesn't support my ROM version.
If someone can help me it'll be great!!

Please READ HERE, that's where all the answers are, and keep in mind that only ROMS made for TOPAZ/Diamond2 can be flashed
Or the saffest way is to go HTCSUPPORT, insert your Serial Number and get the Official ROM to your device, read your Manual also
Hi guys,
First i would lie to apologize to start this thread, as many have threads with a similar question were been asked. As I still cant find the correct answer, hence I am starting this thread.
I am currently of JB Stock ROM 4.1.2(20A-ESA-XXX) and i have just rooted my device few mins back without any kind of hassles using the the method given in this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688).
I am willing to install a custom rom, but without unlocking the bootloader it wont be possible. Request you guys to direct/show me the correct way to unlock my phones bootloader.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhavik

Have fun mate.
Hello people!
Today I ordered an M7, I came from a Samsung S3 but it's faulty after 1.5 yrs. Still got 8 months of subscription left so had to buy a new phone.
I came by the HTC One series, and loved it. Design and everything is awesome. But what do you guys recommend me to do with the phone? Root it or keep it stock?
I have read through some stickies and came by things as bootloader and s-off but couldn't really find a conrete answer to what those things were. So, what are they exactly? With the S3 I had to flash a .tar file with Odin and the phone was rooted, ready for custom ROM's etc.
What do you love about your HTC One? And what advice about the phone can u forward to me?
This has been covered in numerous threads already (too many to link to), and in various forms. Almost every minute detail is covered...
Please take the time to explore this Forum, and don't forget to use search. Thanks.

This all depend what you need to do with your phone. If you don't need root, you don't have to root just for fun.

Everything you have previously used with Samsung phones (like Odin) will not be useful with HTC phones. HTC phones are really different from Samsung. This is not really harder to root HTC phones but the procedure is different.

Unlock, ROOT or S-OFF only if needed.
Make sure you understand how the phone works before tampering with it
and also that you know how to revert everything back to stock before you make some mods.
read read and read again before doing anything
refer to the FAQ in this forum (sticky thread) before asking questions. Most common issues are covered there.
and like said above by the mod, search the forum before posting, There is a ton of helpful threads here. You probably want to read all sticky threads of the General and Q&A section and have a look to the most recent threads. Use the search function before posting.
