Hi everyone,
I have been trying to unlock my phone (app and SIM ) as well as looking up other cool things to do with my phone (isn't it what this forum is about? )
Well here comes my problem: I can't figure out which phone I have.
Some people talked about SDA 11, like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=38859&highlight=unlock
and when I followed the link there (http://www.modaco.com/T_Mobile_SDA_app_and_sim_unlock_solution_is_here_-t230715.html)
they talked about a Typhoon or Orange SPV C500 in that link,
and that really puzzled me since I do'nt want to do anything wrong and fry my phone. .
And then there's this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47927&highlight=sda
and then the SDA 2, which I have no idea whether it applies to me, since there's no SDA 2 on the T-mobile website:
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...57f&WT.srch=2&Result_Inq=answer&InqSource=TMO
and then this one post to turn off GPRS for the Tornado
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40878&highlight=
well it doesn't work for me, so .....
So, which one do I have ?
Orange SPV C500 or SDA or SDA 2 or Hurricane or Tornado? or Qtek... or Xda... ?
Maybe it would be helpful for newbies like me to have a post that classify all the phones that are out there and there variations in brand / model / name / version / series / country.......
Thanks!
Your post is a bit unclear to me. Although I have been known to be a bad reader in the past, I could not find the specs for your phone... So, what is the brand and model of your phone? Do you have a Qtek, I-Mate, T-Mobile? What is the model nr or name on the box? SDA, C500, 8300? Without this information we cannot help you.
Bascially the Tornado and Hurricane are the HTC (the manufacturer) code names, the carriers and brands like Qtek, I-Mate, Orange and T-Mobile give them their own name and model nr, although the hardware is the same. So if you provide your brand name and model name/nr, we can help you better.

You mean like this from the wiki :roll:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_PhoneModels
Sounds like you looked everywhere else
To find out what you have look at the model number in Settings->System->Device Information->Identity and compare it with the oemid in the table.

Thanks anyhow koksie, but I sort of figured it our from the HTC_phone_models chart!
lolz.. we should put that chart on top of the whole website..!
it's not in the forum so search will not help
it's on the normal site
which you have to click on the Wiki.xda-developers.com link in the left upper corner to access

well i had thought if i unlocked my(Wizard g3)phone i could install it but apparently the dash is a smart phone and not a P.D.A and i get an error saying cant talk to my smart phone. >< guess i was wrong an to think it took me forever to unlock it and now i cant get Wm6 =(
you aren't paying attention very well...an official WM6 update won't be out for the MDA. it's only out for the dash. the dash is a smartphone. the MDA is a PPC. they are not compatible with each other. You are in the correct forum though to download unofficial WM6 ROMs. that's what I use for my MDA.
If you really want to download the official TMobile 2.26 from TMobile's site you can always do what I did before I found this forum... Check the TMobile customer forums and look at complaints... A lot of people post their phone numbers on there, just use one of those... works like a charm!
Sooo Wrong!

That's sooo wrong......but I love it!!
Dear all,
I'm a newbie, please tell me what is the kind or type of X01T (Toshiba Portege G900)? Is is a Hermes device? and can I unlock it with HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a application?
Thank you for you reading and answering!
Saw this thread so decided to ask question here instead of posting a new one. Sorry.
May I know if there would be any problem if i install an english version over the original one?
The X01T is in no way related to the X01HT, HTC or the Hermes. It is a device released by Toshiba and only shares an OS in common with the Hermes. It will have its own firmware, ROM, loader, radio and other components. They may appear similar in design but are otherwise totally not related. If you like expensive bricks, feel free to attempt to run Hermes hardware hacks.
I am looking for X01T stylus and batteries...are these on sale in Japan? And can I use X01T batteries on G900? Thanks...
alright guys, for those of u that have generic stock HTC? can like one or two of you pm me ur tytn s/n cuz HTC.com wont accept my AT&T 8925 one, im happy to post my stuff here too, but i got a feelin that if either me using one of ur s/n's or like one of u actually login to HTC.com can get the latest shipped roms no problem
HTC eClub doesn't list any downloads for the TyTN II on the page I get currently.
HTC eClub is only for non-branded devices and I am not sure, if someone will share SN for you...
thats coo thats coo if any of you have access to eclub cuz i have it for my artemis, and its a really nice windows mobile 6 image for it so i was hoping if it posts someone will post it for us... ill actually provide server space for it on my server i have unlimited bandwidth
eClub only allows one person to register with a particular SN so no one is likely to give you yours - it would mean they couldn't register themselves.
Most ROMs get reposted here anyway. For example the latest (actually at the moment only) TyTn II ROM is available already.
funny question lol... No AT-T branded device can register with HTC.com its that simple. You would have to go to AT-T for support. Don't worry about ROM upgrades you will find them here months before you see them any place else
Been visiting the htc.com eClub, there is nothing about Kaiser/TyTN II so far. Quite disappointed. Everytime I tried to click "Phone Software Update", I got "Select your PDA phone or smartphone model from the list. If your registered product is not listed, please check back next time as new patches are added regularly." But, there is no way I can select my PDA phone. HTC eClub is useless!!!! (of course, correct me if I am wrong)
Pretty simple answer - No official updates for the TyTn II have been released yet. There's only one ROM available, and it ships on the device. The only people who have a use for that particular ROM can't register on eClub anyway because they have Tilts or Vario IIIs and not TyTn IIs.
Where is the brilliant idea ?
Can anyone pls inform, where it is launched and possible link for the ROM.I hv searched but failed to get any results
never heard of the KAIS1000 ... only the KAIS100
you can search on that then !
tried..not available..if u hv any link pls share
According to pdadb.net, HTC Kaiser 100 is the same as the AT&T Tilt 8925. Maybe this will make a search more likely to produce good hits?
Unless of course you are sure that "KAIS1000" is exactly what you want?

The spec sheet on PDADB.NET is old ( February 28, 2007 ) ... among other reports as well ... because these were speculations BEFORE the KAISER ever hit the market ...etc
as you can see from this post ... in the beginning .. we were all anxiously waiting for it & read all the reports ..etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1509751#post1509751
The TyTN II (dual camera ) were thought to be as KAIS120 .. but in the end ... when we took out the battery slot ... it really said KAIS130 in print & in bootloader mode
UnicornKaz,
Yeah, I noticed that after my post above. One more thing they got wrong is the display type. They claim the Kaiser has a transflective display. Anyone having used a Kaiser in direct sunlight can tell whether this is true or not...
Even Wikipedia got the different models of the Kaiser wrong...

regarding the type of screens ... there is a big debate/discussion on that issue somewhere here ...
seems that there is indeed a mixed batch that does come with it and the majority does not ...etc

Looks like I got one of the cheap-*ss models then... Makes sense though as GPS maps for the Middle East are hard to come by, so HTC must have figured that outside use will not be important and hence no need for an expensive transflective display?!
You know what? Not one day goes by without me feeling more and more that I did a BIG mistake buying this P.O.S. . . .
Will there be an actual T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Forum or will it be mixed in with the Sapphire?
No kidding.
It deserves its own forum.
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...apabilities-and-sherpa-application-confirmed/
this site say that the device is htc magic it already got it's own forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
As far as I understand the original HTC name is Magic, no matter if any crazy mobile carrier change it´s name, design or specs, so if I´m right here´s the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
And if so no other forum will be created, I believe...
I see your point but the fact is the Magic is european and myTouch is American.
Dont they also have different spl's etc.?

the magic is world wide, not just European.. Just like the dream was worldwide, but the G1 was US..
as a mytouch owner I dont see a reason for it to have its own forum.. Eventually it will get rooted & it will get its own how to root sticky.. From there its just another sapphire..

Wow.....Xperia has a european and american version
Touch Pro2 has european and american version
Touch Pro has european and american version
alot of phones have european and american version
What is your point?
I guess my point is..someone like you would jump on this thread and be a complete asshat and offer absolutely nothing of value.
The fact of the matter is Much that goes on in the Magic forum just doesnt apply to whats happening here in the states.

Then what about the Google ION.. Its hardware is 100% identical to the MyTouch as its also does T-Mo 3g here in the US.. Or wait we better not exclude the Voda version as it also uses the 32B board like the ion & the MyTouch & it even has the same amount of ram..
There is no reason for the MyTouch to get its own forum.. & This is coming from a MyTouch owner..
If the forums get too specific then the growth on what can be done stops.. Hence the CDMA phones that have there own forums.. There US only & pale in comparison to most of the GSM based phones forums that are combined.. Hence look at the Wizard Forum.. There are specific revisions that must be addressed when flashing roms But they all still get along in the same forum..
Fact of the matter is that if there was a forum for every phones individual revision then we would be overwhelmed as there has to be several hundred individual forums...
Edit: & Oh by the way calling someone an asshat for pointing out facts that contradict your small minded way of thinking is a pretty dumb thing to do..
