Hi all,
long time reader/poster but in the WinMo forums.
Have passed to Android but im afraid im getting really frustrated at the moment. I have tried searching but there's way too much material here..
I have a couple of questions that I would really like someone to answer for me:
- I am trying to understand the different JF versions around.. how does this work? is there a post somewhere that explains?
- I am on UK RC9 stock, for the moment not rooted but planning to. if I do, what update should i install after rooting.. as in.. what version is newer than RC9? (RC33 is for US only..)
- my G1 is unlocked and im using a Vodafone SIM card (stock RC9).. will I get OTA updates as well or only if I am on TMobile?
- if I get OTA updates, should I maybe wait for a cupcake OTA before rooting?
Sorry if this sounds over-noobish, I still havent adapted to the android mentality hopefully soon tho.
I have read all the stickys (how to root etc) and I am technical enough to understand telnet etc but i miss the basics apparently.
Any help is HIGHLY appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

There are 3 JF versions. RC33 v1.42, RC9 v1.43 and ADP1.1h v1.43.
Since you state that you are on UK RC9 stock I would use the RC9 version if you decide to root.
Yes you will get OTA updates. Currently RC 9 is the latest for UK (RC33 is for USA).
If you are rooted you will probably be able to upgrade to cupcake/new update before you would get it OTA. There will be no advantage to waiting for a new update to root.
Thanks
Thanks very much for your help mate,
things are becoming much clearer the more I read into it.. but there's tons of it all over the place!

Hey all, running a T-Mobile HD7 after running the Chevron7 NoDO update with no problems.
I am reading off of Gizmodo today that possibly the Chevron7 update permanently breaks for any further updates?
I have been searching for the forums for any info or confirmation, but also in comments on the Giz article, says XDA has already posted a fix? Really?
Crap!
Anyone have any confirmation or information on this?
Crap.. confirmed on teh Chris Walsh blog. He confirms that his update WILL break your phone for future updates and is working to find a fix. *Sigh*
Yeah this is a bummer.
But I'm pretty confident that by the time the next major update makes an appearance (Mango in 6 months or so) there will be a workaround available for those of us that used the Chevron updater for Nodo to allow an upgrade to Mango. Walshie's on it!
I think that's may true,
because I use ROM from O2DE and the first time with Chevron method, I got HTC update after NoDo.
and second time I re-flash again with the same ROM and upgrade to NoDo by Zune update, I can't get the HTC update until now..
I think.. maybe the update URL for specific phone was been change after use the Chevron Updater.
I've cut MS a lot of slack until now... If this is the case I'll just vote with my feet and switch to Android like i'm sure many others would...
I expect a bit of common sense from the largest software house on the planet... Release the update to carriers... Give them time to test...Set a global release date.... Jeez..
I don't believe this can't be fixed and it'll be a ploy for MS to say: 'hey we fixed this for our community, arn't we nice'... If not I guess the XDA community will work their magic as usual ;-)
Well after i used it to update to NoDo i then got the HTC firmware update about a day later. Which seems to imply it doesnt leave the phone totally unservicable.
The impression I got was past NoDo they are saying it will fail, I also got the O2 uk HTC one through Zune a day later..
I think the guy is getting paid by MS to agree with them. They don't want users circumventing the carriers.

With Chevron you got the HTC update after NoDO because it was unbundled from the Official NoDo update. Without Chevron, you did not see it as a separate update because is was properly bundled with the official NoDo update. You are missing nothing now, you have the HTC update.

if the update is included, why is it, that there is no banding and the sound is much quieter than with the update separated???

I am reading a guy in a blog saying, "People have gotten a second update after going to NoDo through ChevUp (7389 to 7390)". I did not use Chevron and I got one NoDo update and my OS version is 7.07390.0. What is your version number and what was your experience?
Hi Folks,
I have a HTC HD7 Tmo US and followed all steps on this tread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019
The flashing went ok, but sometimes the HD7 restarts it self without knowing reasons.
I found out as well on the page 18 on the same tread about the Carrier changed from xxxx.yy.zzzzz.531 to xxxx.yy.zzzzz.841, this means went to TmoUS to Telstra, Am I right? Because nobody confim it for sure yet! But seens to be!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001019&page=18
Now, I want to know if, since the carrier now is Telstra, can I also follow the tread bellow to update the ROM for a newer one with newer Radio, which I hope fixes the HD7 from restarting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090845
On this tread, the radio is Radio_5.66.09 .21a_22.48.50.21U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar
Mine is actually 5.65.09.11_22.44.50.15U
My question is: can I do it? Is there a risk to brick the HD7 TmoUS?
Have anyone done it yet?
Final questio: If I have a GoldCard for HD7, can I apply any ROM to my TmoUS?
Thank you very much for your time and attention.
Paulo Scorcci.
Hi folks,
Is there any one which can help me with this question?
I would like to place this tread on the Development session, but I have less than 10 posts and can not do it.
Thanks again.

ok here i go so i recently got my hd7 and I upgrade to mango before i even checked the message boards to see if i should stay on the shipped rom or upgrade. after doing the upgrade i realized that i wanted to try some of the customs roms but i cant figure out what im suppose to do i have bootloader version 4.5.2250.0(129966) firmware 2250.21.40503.531 Please help me i just got the hd7 through warranty exchange from t mobile i use to own the hd2.
to sum it all up i want to know what way if at all possible to downgrade the rom version, and how to upload a new custom rom. I got lost in the hole NoDO firmware talk when i was looking up info so please point me in the right direction.
You need to flash an official nodo rom to downgrade the bootloader. Do you have a t-mobile US version?

Hi, I was just wondering if the method of flashing the Europe ROM to downgrade a 5.10.x.xx SPL could be safely used on a TMOUS phone without unlocking.
Thanks so much for the help, and by the way-I'm not a noob, and actually used to develop very popular Android ROMS. I just decided to move to XDA because of the lack of communication and inefficiency of almost all of the forums I've tried.
