Hi guys.
In Яussia HTC phones are pretty expensive so in this country smuggle is a very popular occupation. I'm going to get european Incredible S (it's about 1.5 times cheaper than the official one) so there's a little question: what about ROM? About a month ago I got an european Desire for my sister and there was non-rooted RU (Russian-Ukrainan region) rom, not european. I dunno how they're installing official RU roms on the phones, but I don't want to get IS with european ROM, because if they're uploading another roms using root - smugglers can't upload RU rom on IS just because there's no root for this phone lol.
sorry for kinda dumb text I'm a bit drunk lol
as far as I know, if you use a goldcard you can install any RUU
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Confirming that, flashing any official RUU is possible with a goldcard without any root.
no exception for IS as it was performed successfully to flash leaked Arabic RUU in this forum
Hi

P.s. I am using IS about a month but still seling IS isn't started in latvia.

Hi,
I found this :
http://www.frandroid.com/51647/sfr-presentation-du-calendrier-des-mises-a-jour-des-androphones/
Basicly, it's a listing of every phones SFR (french vodafone) is going to update with dates.
Here's the thing :
Thanks FrAndroid for the news.
PS: it's written "(est.)" which is the short for estimation, just to be clear.
PS2: that means a stable froyo SenseUI rom in a near future
Thanks Sympnotic, but i'm more excited about gingerbread!
Thanks Sympnotic. Some light on Froyo tunnel for Wildfire !

SFR released the legend 2.2 OTA update, it was planned for the 17th december, we're only the 9.
I'll do *#*#checkin#*#* to see if something appears for our wildfires
edit: I might have been too excited but Legend had their updates one month ago, didn't read 17/11 but 17/12 as I don't see the point to include an already released update on a Roadmap.
Vodafone (NL) updated their Legends already 15/11, the unbranded phones are updating now. So 17/11 is the right date.
But that means that vodafone will give the update in about 4 days, and HTC maybe in less than 2 weeks?
Because they're busy with Legend right now.
I hope so

Yep, I know but thanks for pointing it out here.
Well, if SFR release the update before HTC, it would be easy to grab just the SFR rom, purge it from their bloatwares (sfr wifi / tv / account - apps) and add more languages to make it a WWE rom.
The Wildfire from a friend of mine has recieved an update today.

How do the updates work? Does your phone do it automatically? are you notified first?
I'm on 3 in the UK
Edit: But it's a Vodafone Wildfire which I had unlocked (if that makes a difference).

You can either reflash your phone with a RUU from Shipped roms (must have HTC Synch installed to use RUU's) or you could wait for Danne_jo to release a UK version of Froyo (as we all know he'll be the first(he he))
This is a lie

RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
Which I believe is a generic rom, on my phone which is H3G UK and I keep getting Customer ID Error
I can't use
RUU_Buzz_H3G_UK_1.16.771.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31
_release_131501_signed.exe
as my phone has higher version 1.26.xxxxxxx
Is there anyway to bypass this error?

U need to make goldcard
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
you cant put lower software over higher even with goldcard. you need downgrade you system to lower or same as you want. and it is wrong topic
thanks for the info, though... I believe they are releasing 2.2.1 for wildfire? Since modaco and cyangen have somehow picked up a leaked froyo for wildfire.

Not cyanogen, they work on raw code released by Google. Hence cm is way different from other repackaged roms.
Hi there!
I am looking for an official English firmware (UK) of the Incredible S. Can anyone guide me on that? I have an unbranded version. I came across a HongKong firmware in one of the threads but unfortunately i am unable to download it. Also I tried the Canada version but no go!
Thanks very much!
Goto the general section.... This is Development section....
Maybe people are willing to help you there.
I'm also looking for a European version.
I think it's kinda strange that there are so many shipped roms for the desire-s already which has only been released a few days ago and for the IS there are only about 3 roms?
I also wonder what HTC is thinking.. where would you get any official updates if your carrier provider doesn't support the IS and you bought it at a retail store.
Or do they provide fw downloads on their website usually? Didn't find any... but maybe I'm blind.
Hi all, I'm approaching to the world of htc hd7 for the first time... I' m waiting for my new htc hd7 t-mobile coming in a few days and I'm asking if there's any way to debrand it and install a clean european rom with my language (I'm from Italy)... Can you tell me where to find the instructions and which is the last european rom? thanks in advance.
Andrea.
I mean "unbrand" not debrand

I have almost the same issue. I'm brazillian and the English keyboard doesn't have "ã" and "õ" characteres... I want to use Spanish keyboard because of this, so... Anyone could help?
Is it a US T-Mobile HD7?
If so, I believe a goldcard is the only way to debrand. See this thread.
I'm still trying to figure out if the benefits (quicker updates, etc.) outweigh the issues introduced by using a European radio.

Yes It's a T-Mobile US, I looked at that thread... It's not so easy and It needs some items as an usb y-cable, a sd card, a card reader, another smartphone with android...
thanks anyway...
Hi, I've read a lot of threads in the last hours and searched extensively but couldn't find the answer to my specific question:
How do I know which one of the RUUs out of this thread to install? I'm not looking for any fancy ROMs but just the (possibly stock) upgrade to 2.3.
I have an Incredible S, S-OFF via AlpharevX with Clockworkmod Recovery on it. The OS is still the stock Android 2.2.1, 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.1.11_M, 1.37.708.2
I bought the device in Hong Kong and have been waiting for the OTA to Gingerbread for months now (regularly checking manually) without any luck.
Thanks for your help and let me know if you need more info or if I missed anything.

For clean stock ROM, you can flash RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Virgin_Mobile_AU_2.12.981.2 _R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_ 185029_signed. But actually Android Revoluation HD is a very good tweaked custom ROM based on stock ROM so I don't know why you should not try it.
Just a reminder, to flash the RUU, you need to extract the rom.zip from the exe and flash it with a gold card. There should be plenty of instructions on how to do it in the development forum.
Yes, I saw several tutorials for that.
But that also means that there is no RUU/update.zip out there for my exact version of Froyo? Because otherwise I wouldn't need the Gold Card, right?
Where and how could I find such a version?

I too can't find any Hong Kong RUU from xda or xda.cn. I guess these are our only options.

I almost can't believe that since both HTC and buying stuff in HKG is pretty popular. But I guess that's where we're stuck for now unless one of us starts reading Chinese...
I've noticed that we have a few Chinese users here and I was wondering what stock rom the phone has since we don't have a stock Chinese firmware, nor a stock firmware with even the Chinese language. Do ya'll get them with CM from the carrier over there? or do ya'll have a different stock than whats available here?
Thanks
I'm curious and this has always bugged me.

I dont think we have stock Chinese firmware since this phone is mainly focused on only some markets. even in my country (Vietnam), we're neighborhood of China but I still must buy an ATT one which is bought by shipping from US
Correct me if I'm wrong but if we have, more choices are better

That sucks. I was, and still am, hoping that perhaps there's another stock firmware floating around somewhere. Later in its life the Defy started getting more and more Chinese users and firmwares, some of which were done in a way that it enabled us to flash custom roms if we screwed up and took an OTA that blocked the hacks. The first Atrix even had a leaked Chinese ICS even though it was never officially supposed to be past Gingerbread. With the Chinese and Asian users here, I was hoping an Asian carrier might have released or is using a different stock firmware than what we already have....maybe that's not the case and they're all just importing like you.
I am Chinese ,but I like to use a English firmware .it can help to improve my English skill .

If that is the case. When you buy a Chinese Atrix HD do you get it with a Chinese firmware or did you had to flash an US firmware?

if the phone is popular in China , the storekeeper will hire someone to develop the Chinese package so that we can get the Chinese interface .
MB886 is popular ,so it has the Chinese package at first ,after unclock the bootloader , they also translate other rom into Chinese,like slim,beanstalk and so on .
if the phone has Chinese interface ,it can sells in higher price .
I used to bought a moto XT881, it is very cheap because no Chinese interface .
Ohhh i see. Thanks for sharing. So in other words the phone do get stock version same as ours.
