Hi everyone,
here is a complete noob posting. So don't be too rude in your answers! :roll:
I bought a new MDA compact from t-mobile Germany and I want to get rid of the branding or change it to the O2 Germany version of it (it's my provider). There is no simlock or anything similar.
That is the reason I found your page. And I took a big look around.
At the moment I think that the only way to "debrand" my mda is to copy a "clean" "shipped rom" on it.
So here are my questions:
1) Are the shipped roms debranded versions of the ones that are already provided or do they have more bugs than the respective branded versions?
2) What are the differences between the different rom-types? Which of these are valuable for my purpose?
3) Suppose I created a backup of my rom and want to flash it with a version from your ftp. Can I reinstall my backup, even if the installation process of the other rom stopped and didn't finish or am I completely ****ed?
-------
By the way: It would be very nice if you could extend your encyclopedia a little. For example it would be nice to have some explanations on the different types of roms.
-------
Thanks already for your help!
There's not much difference between ROM versions, just get the most up to date if you're going to update.
Apply the bigstorage hack. If you're doing that, you might as well upgrade the rom at the same time.
I wouldn't change the ROM if you're having no problems with it. Very little has changed that I can tell, nothing that would force me to upgrade if I had to do it again.
Debranding - the branded versions (eg tmobile) might come out with more things bundled in, but almost everything can be downloaded from XDA Developers' FTP site - look in the extended rom area. These things are optional, and generally just brand your phone, so best not to bother!
There's software available to "easily change splash screen" to change the boot up screen to anything you want to remove that branding. I have a QTEK Rom and don't notice any other branding.
Hope that provides some info!

Three(UK) WM6.1 ROM (well its ORIGINAL)
2.50.771.0 (Radio 1.27.15.32) OFFICIAL Three UK
http://rapidshare.com/files/143861959/KaiserUKThreeReconstructed.rar.html
I have also updated the WIKI
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I noticed that after a hard reset the phone automatically runs a filed H3G.tsk , the phone then customises and then re-boots!
maybee all you people running Kaisers on three need to run the tsk file to be able to run it properly with the planet 3 etc...
I have attached it for you guys to try! please let me know (you could rename tsk to cab if it doesnt work)

I was thinking the same thing. It would be different if it was like 1.72 or something... especially since it's so new. But 1.27 is WAY old (and not 6.1 compatible).

I think it was a misprint because three's TyTN is only on WM 6.0
They haven't released an upgrade.
sorry its a WM6 not WM6.1

HELP??????????
i have installed Radio version: 1.27.15.32 and everything is working fine!
Hi 3UK sim users. I have unlocked my MDA Vario III and still with original wm6.1. I can use 3uksim for ringing in and out. If I use this 3UK rom will I be able to use 3 skype and planet 3 options. Has any one tried this?

i heard skype are going to be allowing all 3g handsets to use the skype free calls offer, hope this is true...
First post update needed please

Can we have an update in your first post in this thread as well then please. Unlike with a wiki where anyone can edit the page, you (or I guess a mod/admin person) are the only ones who can correct that. 3 UK users may be all excited seeing mention of WM 6.1, only to be disappointed when they find out it's still WM 6.0. FWIW I've found that as far as HTC TyTN II releases go, their WM 6.0 ROM/Radio combinations are superior so I can understand why 3UK don't have a WM 6.1 update (at least not here on xda-dev).
3 UK and Radio
Hi - I've upgrade to Win Mobile 6.1 (Shifu 13F) which works great, appart from not being able to hear or be heard in calls. Everything else works.
Radio is 1.27.15.32 (the original one I think) Is there not another radio that will work with this and other 6.1 roms? What is different about the 3 radio and others? Does this mean that those of us on 3 cannot use cooked roms?
Many thanks for the information already provided.....
Found a solution!!!!
I upgraded my radio to 1.70.18.02 and all works fine now, camera, sound and calls! Going to try it with a Win 6.5 rom soon as well!
People Its Not Hard
Hey guys im from the uk and i use 3 UK pay as you go sim in my lovely kaiser, i can access 3 planet to check my balance and free stuffs, ive got installed Dutty's 6.1 rom, it recognised sim and also changed the network settings at setup so that i could use internet and access planet 3.

i have just gotten hold of a 3 sim and i'm trying to access planet 3 services but without the certs included in the official 3 rom i am getting nowhere fast! can anyone offer some advice? do i need to decompile the 3 stock rom and rip the certs from there? any help would be appreciated! I heard mention of a cab called SDKCerts which may be exactly what i need - all i really want is the skpe installer from 3 so the data used for skype calls is free rather than being taken from my usage allowance (3 customer services have confirmed this is what will happen if i use skpe's own installer of the skype app!!!)
respect, Pete
Mirror mirror...
Can someone with the 3 UK ROM host it on a different service please. Rapidshare is never up these days, and I would like to sort my MDA Vario III into one that Planet 3/Skype likes.
The Kaiser ROM page has the same Rapidshare link

hello any chance you can upload the rom, as i cant seem to download it from rapidshare
cheers jez
Hey guys,
Basically i've done some searching, but can't seem to find the answers anywhere... Just wanted to know whats the difference between these rom's?
I know ADP1 = Developer rom,
RC8 = UK and
RC30 = US
But what are the main differences between the 3? As I'm in Australia, I actually bought a g1 from the us, and it's on rc30 now, but I would imagine a less localised version would be better for me? Can I upgrade to any image? or is it specific to the handset?
Thanks for the help.

This link should give you the basic idea.
RC30=T-Mobile branding.
ADP1=My Choice =)
RC8=Would be my second choice if i ever decide to leave ADP1
Yes you can install any of the three roms
i know between the 3, phone number format is saved differently as well.
So on........check the link to get a basic idea.
Appreciate the reply back thanks
Seems to have covered all my questions.
So, according to the info I was able to gather, a US version would work in the EU, with only minor visual impairments like phone# formatting etc.? The 3G and GSM would still work?
So I recently purchased an HTC Sensation online from Welectronics. So after getting the phone and trying to set it up, I noticed that it does not come with US English or even UK English in the Locale, it comes with English from Asian countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia etc.
I can live with it, as long as it's still English, but I would prefer to use US English or even Canadian English if possible. Is there any market apps I can use to get other locales installed onto my phone?
Furthermore, because I am in Canada and am using Wind Mobile, the notification bar does not display my "Wind Home", it only displays the operator network code. Again, any way I can change that?
Despite all this, I do hope HTC releases the S-Off ASAP so I can flash other roms onto it! Cheers
Bump. Same here, purchased from expansys.
Try this app:
https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&feature=search_result
haven't tried it on the Sensation, but it worked on my Desire HD.
Yup, tried that app and it's alright, at least I have standard English language now
hey mixmaven, did you purchase from expansys-usa. i haven't gotten it yet but want to know because i ordered one from them and they told me it was a US version with no bloatware, so i assume it would have US english on it.
hey chris, yes to expansys usa - and the more I used the phone the more I found that everything appeared to be correct, it just didn't have the English US option when I booted which was annoying. Selecting another english language triggers a few strange input screens. I see no major bloatware, looks like a clean version of sense. Has sound hound and a few other common apps.

mixmaven did you try the app that kuba1410 say to use and did it work. also how are you liking the phone. thanks for the reply.
not yet, I wanted to pull down a sense 3.0 rom and pull out the en us file. Haven't had time. I wonder if the dictonary contains more words if you are using the correct language.
Differentiation, assuming it work perfectly on your sensation did it change everything to US english without problems?
Anyone willing to provide a system dump off a US edition phone with no bloatware?
Locale2 did not fix the keyboard settings screen (Thai Keyboard is shown) and Vietnameses IME. However the keyboards are in english and work correctly so far.
Not sure where the files are saved in a US rom. I was hoping I could push them to the rom and then run setup again. S=On is killing me.

I just chose Canadian English, so far it seems to be alright, haven't really had too much problems.
Is there anything you would specifically want me to look at?
Differentiation just want to know that when i get mine that i can set things to US english using the app and work fine. is there any areas that are not working like google maps, weather..etc. thanks for the info.
thanks mixmaven for trying the app. Differentiation said he used canadian engliah and seems to work with little problem. dont know if you seen his post. you may want to try it and see what happens.
There is a thread in the development forum for the sensation that includes links to the official RUU roms for various regions of the world. I'm wondering if you would be able to flash one of these official roms to your phones. I think you should be able to flash a rom for an unbranded phone since I'm assuming your phones are unbranded. You might want to try it.
I don't have Canadian English only Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Philippines.
Time to look at the other ROM's

Yes my phone is unbranded.
As soon as S-Off becomes official, I think I will flash a North American rom onto my phone.

I don't know if the radios are compatible. North American Sensations are the T-mobile branded one, with 1700,2100,1900MHz 3G bands, and the one that went thru the FCC with 850/1900MHz bands for an unknown carrier. As far as the Vodafone/unbranded European/Asian phones, their 3G frequencies are listed as 900/AWS/2100MHz. I would make sure it won't brick your phone before trying to flash a "North American" rom onto your Sensation.
In the mean time, you might try one of the unbranded European roms and chose UK English.
Oh you are right! I have the 3G version, not the 4G.
I tried 3 different HTC Roms, all 3 ended with the 131 error of invalid ID.
Hey guys! So, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930FD) from Amazon almost 2 years ago. I ordered what I thought was the International EU version, but they sent me instead it seems the Asia version. I say that because the keyboard switches between the qwerty keyboard and a chinese keyboard. Also because it looks like the phone is still available on Amazon and the model G930FD is now marked as the Asian version, likely Hong Kong. It's worked great, and I've really liked it. A while back, Samsung Pay was finally pushed to it, but it was all in chinese, and very difficult to use. I tried to update it with a newer version the other day and I think I screwed it up. It keeps trying to update it and failing, so now I can't use it anymore. So, I figure maybe this is an opportunity to try something new? So, I've been trying to read as much as I can from this site and others to see how it works, and I think I understand, I just want to make sure...
It sounds like the model G930FD and G930F are mostly interchangeable when it comes to OS's. It also sounds like there are OS's (aka ROM's I think?) that are native to different geographic areas, and each has it's own software and features etc. I Don't know that a US ROM would work on this model as it's an exynos, and the US models are not, so what if I chose a UK ROM to replace the Asian version with? Will that work? Also, if I put on an official ROM, does it still allow the OTA updates to occur for that country? I'd like to keep that happening if possible. Makes it a lot easier to keep things up to date... I have no interest in rooting, nor in using some hacked ROM, or anything like that. Just keep it simple.
So is that possible to do? I've found a couple of instructions here and there for how to do the actual flashing, using an app called Odin, and I've downloaded a ROM from the UK, the most recent one I can find from last month. I assume this will probably erase everything on my phone and I'll have to restore from a backup and re-install all my apps, etc?
