Ah OK. Why would it have a fake ROM from the store and should I change the ROM? Sorry I'm a novice with this phone

Because the distributor wants you to have it, in order to prevent you claiming insurance when your phone breaks due to updates and/or any kind of modifications. Yes, you should change it to official ROM and read a lot, A LOT of existing forum topics and documentations, unless you want to keep yourself locked with that fake ROM functionality.

Why would a phone with an official ROM break due to updates? Surely an official ROM is more stable. I will read the stickies thanks

Don't think that far. Just think that the distributor doesn't want you to modify the ROM in any way than the one they've been testing (and adding bloatwares) on.

What rom should I be installing? I have read all the forums posts but alot of people seem to be using my (fake) eu rom perfectly and are happy with it.
Can someone send me a link to exactly the rom I should be using. All I want is a rom that will update when the new android version comes out, I have had no updates yet with this rom so im not sure if it will ever update...
Should I even be changing the rom I have. I dont have any interest in the other roms available bar official and eu (fake official)
tks

you can choose the Developer ROM, so probably u will get the Android Nougat before the other users.

Thanks and if I just wanted the most stable official ROM that will get updates over time which would be the choice with English language that most people outside China ie would go for?

Looking for stock ROM

Hey guys,
my HD7 seems to have some hardware problems (random rebooting etc). So I decided to send it in for repair. Since I'm currently running the leaked HTC Mango ROM (7720.68) I need to roll back to a stock NoDo ROM. Now there are so many ROMs floating around these forums nowadays, that I have no idea which would be the on to choose for my device:
HTC HD7, Germany, unbranded, not SIM locked.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
you can go here and select the suitable ROM for your device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Shipped_Roms
but be careful because you may brik your phone if you flash a wrong ROM
I think you should flash the last ROM which is the only one in the Mango Section

Thank you very much. I think I'll go with the first European ROM and apply all available updates afterwards. That should be sufficient enough to look like stock.

It is OK, as you like,
But keep in your mind that the Mango ROM is official leaked one and is stock,
My suggestion is to go with it if you don't care about chevron unlocking your device.

I have a developer account, so I don't need Chevron to unlock my device. The thing is, I need to send my device in for repair, so anything Mango like wouldn't be considered to be stock as the update actually hasn't been delivered yet.

COR-TL10 - I want to install a global ROM, is it possible??

As stated in the title, I'm helping someone (trying to anyways) with their Chinese variant of the honor play, and am having a lot of trouble finding any information or success stories for getting a global ROM on the Chinese variant. I confirmed that this phone has an unlocked bootloader. I saw one post saying that it's simply not possible because of a different modem in the TL10, please someone help me out. This Chinese ROM is problematic. Otherwise great device!
Thanks
Probably not as while debranding it may end up with locked frp. Had this been other variant, I just posted a debranding method in development section

Well whatever wouldn't be the Chinese version, everytime I reset it it reinstalled all of the bloatware, and it won't even let me change the launchers. So I guess whichever is the most stable global version. I've found information but I found myself confused by must of it. I know how to use ADB and root and install TWRP.

You can go with EU or Indian version as C900 firmwares are not available. Elss you can try C636 but EU and Indian firmwares are tested.

Question No network on developer preview 1 and 2

Hey after flashing Developer Preview one I got no network connection.
My device is a Chinese version with global Rom.
NE2215
I also tried flashing the Chinese version and the EU version and it didn't work either.
Any ideas?
All the settings in the connection options are greyed out. I cant set the APN manually. Everything is greyed out.
you probably lost your imei. sorry to say, but you likely have a very expensive brick on your hands.
Got similar problem on 1+. The imei is available but both sim cards do not find network. It occures not only on developer preview but on all ROMs

if you lost the imei, then no you can't fix it unless you previously made a back up. go into settings and checkk if it's still there or unavailable
My problem is only happening in developer Previews of android 13
After I reverted back to android 12, everything works again. Dunno what it is. I did a log the last time. Maybe that will help someone.
I can active the sim with entering the sim pin. The sim tries to activate, but it always aborts. So the sign for the not entered sim in status bar is disappears and comes back again. Same with the options in network settings. They randomly grey out and come back again.
I got a Chinese version flashed du NE2215. So I got NE2210 hardware with NE2215 Rom. Maybe this causes my problem. Cant either flash NE2210 or NE2215 developer preview. Both have the same problem.

The question is not why I do such "experiments". The question is, why it doesn't work.
If I would like to wait for final release, I would not be in this forum.

Nope, you just can update via local update. A nice how to is on the OnePlus forums. There are also all downloads you need

Yeah, because you have a higher version of Android 12. You have to downgrade first with the android 12 package.

Did not have any problems with locked bootloader. For me it worked.
Dunno what this guy flashed
All in all you do this at your own risk. No one guarantees you anything
And read the post. It has nothing to do with locked bootloader. This is when guys flash without knowledge

Question Android 12 / Miui13 in Europe?

Hi guys, anyone that has this phone in Europe and already got the update for Android 12? Am I right on assuming that the update should happen any day now since it's already out in other regions?
Alternatively: Does anyone here have experience with xiaomi.eu Rom for the redmi note 11? Is it any good?
Cheers

For the moment it seems that only the NFC version has had an A12 update in EEA.

For Xiaomi EU roms you can go there with your eyes closed, better than stock roms.
I don't have this phone. but I use these roms currently and for a long time.
Just got an update today with August security patch. Still Android 11 (13.0.12) maybe it's time to unlock that bootloader

Hi Clouds5,
Yes, I got that update yesterday too... I thought awesome, is this finally A12 rolling out. However I didn't recognise the build number, compared to all the other A12 firmwares floating around.... But yeah, sure enough it looks like a Security patch in the guise of a full rom at 2.7GB.... I've still not installed it yet.
Cheers, Lister

But this is the update that it wants to provide, and sent me a notification about it... V13.0.12.0.RGKEUXM
And it offered this as a 2.7GB zip file, whereas I hear it should only be 78mb. My current build I am sure is like 13.0.11.xxxxxxx

As I said, I write the rest of it when I get chance as the info was on the phone and I had to rush off to get summit to eat. So didn't have the info to hand. However the other info what I supplied above was the version (inc letters) of the updated rom/update I received. I just didn't have access to the existing data that was my current build. Will update shortly....

I've actually never seen it listed for download. Most people want to get away from it because it's missing a lot. Is there a reason why you want to install it? There's better roms if you need another language besides English or Chinese.
