Hi all,
i just get my new HTC magic phone which is vodafone branded (vodafone bootscreen and vodafone application).
Is there any solution to upgrade the software as to remove the bootscreen and any vodafone tag ?
I read some threads about this but it is still unclear for me.
Many thanks for your help. ++

Hi, you will need to root the phone to be able to install a new ROM and therefore remove the vodafone branding.

No need to install a new ROM to get rid of the vodafone branding.
Search on google for: splash1 magic
It is possible to push a new splash1 without rooting (i did that on my UK vodafone)

Hi, I just signed a contract with Orange UK and got my TyTN II from Orange. After running the HTC Kaiser Hard-SPL v1 and flashing my ROM by RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship, the screen showed "SIN Lock: Network is locked, Please input unlock code." I put my orange sim card in it. It should work with it. Can anyone tell me how to solve it? Thanks.
Maybe a little harsh, but you should have done some reading...

Thanks for the information.

Hi all,
I'm wondering how I can check if my HTC Touch Pro is unlocked for installing custom roms. I bought it without a carrier with no simlock.
Don't know if that matters?
Hope that someone can tell me how to check this...
Thanks

If you did not buy it from a carrier, then it should be SIM unlocked, which means you can install anyone's SIM card and the device should work. NOTE - use of a SIM card implies you have a GSM-based Raphael. There are also CDMA Raphael's out there (for North American carriers) which don't use a SIM card.
In either case, if the device is unlocked, then you can go ahead and install any of the Raphael ROMS being developed in the Raphael ROM forum. Be careful, if you have a CDMA Raphael, go to the CDMA forum.
Security Unlocked is something else, and this is only required if you want to flash the RADIO from another device, such as the Blackstone or Quartz models. This, you have to get done by someone else. There is a sticky thread in the Raphael ROM forum where you can get more information.
Personally, I just stick with SIM unlock, since the Raphael-based radios are working just fine for me.
you should probably put hard spl on there just in case to be safe
Ok thanks than I am going to install a custom rom tonight.
Hope it works!
You need to flash hard spl before doing anything.
Oke, does any one know where this is explained?
So just a short explanation about what to do in what order to install custom roms etc...
Thanks a lot already!
Uh, try the noob flashing thread and the hard spl thread in the rom forum, and the flashing thread at fuzemobility.

Hello guys. I recently purchased Tmobile HTC Sensation. I have few question, any help would be greatly appreciated.
1- How to unlock my phone for other carriers? Apart from the usual online services. If anyone would recommend me or tell me if i can do it on my own
2-Once its unlocked, what precautions i need to take while playing with roms, mods, updates so that i dont lock it again.
Thanks a lot guys
Well to answer your questions
1. Use the search button
You have 81 posts and 18 thanks, you should know how to do this kind of stuff.
Unlocking your phone to use with other carriers has nothing to do with rooting, which is where you can install roms and mods. Your asking two different questions in one....
how to install drivers on HTC Sensation 4g TMoUS? im finished to get my hboot version.. sorry its my first time on HTC/Android phone.. tnx.

I already used search button and i do know it has nothing to do with rooting. What i was asking is, we all know sensation can be unlocked for different carriers, and different online vendors are charging for it. My point is, can i do it on my own?
Now that the bootloader is unlocked, flashing radio image or RUU from unbranded sensation should solve the problem. I dont know which part holds the locked carrier mode.
Thanks
Hi!
Because of the dead links and the last update, I would like to aks if someone could write a guide on how to downgrade a branded Desire S. Is it possible to get OTA Updates afterwards by using the Gold Card?

AFAIK branded Desire S is not that easy (twice as difficult) to downgrade. And often times, it is not supported or not advised at all.
But I read somewhere that someone was able to downgrade his/her Desire S phone here on XDA. I suggest to search for it.

Dear All,
Greetings
I believe this phone is not that populare where I can't find custom roms or RUU for it.
I am looking for original or custom rom that support reading/writing arabic letters.
I carry the European version of this phone and it is already unlocked and rooted.
Appreciate your help
My GF also has a Rhyme, i have to carrier unlock it somehow, but i guess its not possible yet i Bought unlock code for it from 3 sites, all were the same, and it didnt work. Probably the original carrier relocked it (tmobile croatia).
