HTC Touch HD remove Telstra - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott

Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!

How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search

Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks
Scott

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??

waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?

Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

Hello guys. I am fairly new to this world and to this forum, so please take it easy on me.
I use a HTC P4351 Unlocked. I use it on T-Mobile network.
My First Question: The ROM version I have right now is - 4.24.422.1 WWE
Do I need to update it?? Is there a simple way of doing it??
My Second Question: Before I bought this unlocked device, I had\used T-Mobile Wing. This phone had this one app, made by "OZ Messaging". It was a client for AIM/ICQ/Y. Is there a way of getting a ROM with this app so that I can extract it from there, somehow? Or an app of this sort?? Another little problem with it is: I tried several applications like this. I need to have a connection to the internet. I don't have internet option on my phone. What I do have, is unlimited any kind of messaging. My guess is: it used my SMS gateway, since I don't have mobile net.
So to make this simple:
1. I'm wondering if I need to update my ROM?
2. Can I find a ROM, with it, or THAT separate application for my messaging needs? I would need this app to vibrate when my phone is set to vibrate mode? .
3. **VERY IMPORTANT** I don't have "Mobile Internet" on the device. I never never ever did, but that OZ Messaging client was still able to log on any three of those 3 networks. Whenever I needed to log on, in the log in process, it would to turn on my GPRS connection. I set that connection up myself. I found a way. So right now, whenever I send a Picture Message, it turns it on and sends it. I tested it out. Instead of entering a phone number, I enter my e-mail address, and it works both ways, it sends and if I reply to that message I received from my phone, it receives it back on the device. It used that "connection" for AIM/ICQ/Y before on the Wing also.
*** Basically the app needs to have a SMS gateway! ***
Is there an app that can use that kind of a connection/or is there a way for me to find this one?
Guys, please be as simple as possible. I'm not a "guru" in this field.
Thank You People. I hope I’m posting my question in the right spot, and I hope to get some help on this. Thank You once again.
use the search engine here in the forum "oz communicator" the cab is here in the forums just search for it hope this helps

Hey. Even if I find this *.cab file. I don't just need to find this *.cab file, but also need to figure out how to make this app to turn on the GPRS. That is what it did on my old T-Mobile MDA and on T-Mobile Wing. It used that connection to log in, and to send/receive IMs. (Via my SMS gateway)
So even if I do find this *.cab somewhere again, it won't work. AGAIN - is because I already found it once, and it didn't work, because of GPRS. Thank You
ok well i dont know what to tell you about gprs, thats something you have to find on your own along with the cab file, no one here is going to just hand you answers this forum is mostly for developers and those who want to learn how to cook roms and such, so there you have it and btw you posted in the wrong forum this is about rom dev not wing/herald cabs

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

Touch Diamond2 5358+ , T5358+ WM6.5 GPS, Gravity, ROM etc etc

Hi everyone,
I have recently bought two (what i thought were) HTC Touch Diamond2. It turned out to be a generic chinese made 5358+ model phone, but it's still very cool and has all the cool features. One phone is now dead after a failed ROM update on it. I have extracted the RAW rom from the WORKING phone using PDOCREAD
237.38M (0xed60000) MSFlash
| 1.75M (0x1bf000) Part00
| 3.38M (0x360000) Part01
| 60.38M (0x3c60000) Part02
| 171.88M (0xabe0000) Part03
and now have the corresponding 4 RAW files to match above.
I want to write these back to the second phone, which i now have up and running using a Chinese version of a ROM for a T5353 running WM6.1, so I cant read anything, but i can get it connected via ActiveSync.
If i try and write the RAW files back using PDOCWRITE, i get a
ERROR: ITWriteDisk - The media is write protected.
error message, which Im assuming is because the phone is NOT CID unlocked.
so where to from HERE? How can i compile the RAW files into a compatible the BIN file (in this case called K3IMG.BIN)
OR
How can I supercid the phone to enable writing using 'pdocwrite'
Ive tried everything guys, really looking forward to you help.
Thanks!
one more thing..

How many T5358+ is out there, I mean, here, on XDA?
Hey Bloogoo, all,
I'm trying to figure out if 5358+ compatible with 5353 and 5355 firmware.
And even if not - I would like to know what other firmware is out there for our phone. Looks like some CO2 ROMs with Android started to show-up!
I've got 5358+ couple months ago and generally happy with it. So far I did not had a single crash or lockup. Battery life is fantastic compare to any other smart phone I ever owned.
My firmware is strange, that it's 6.5, but has old Internet Explorer. IE has no finger scrolling but only scroll by side bar. Another strange thing: zoom bar only works in picture viewer. I can't find another single app that can recognize zoom bar. G-sensor is very slow, It takes about 4-5 seconds to flip the screen and no other software can see it either. Other than that it is rock solid and works great.
Originally I've ordered 5355, but received 5358+ instead. The guy who sold it insists it's the same phone. Reading bits around this forum it certainly looks like it. But somewhere I've seeing mentioning that difference is the display. My posts on main thread for "CO2" left unanswered, looks like most of "CO2" phones out there are 5353s and 5355s. Under battery compartment it looks different too. And mic is in different spot. (5358+ has it on dead center, just like original BD2).
Why don't we start with posting our ROM versions?
Mine T5358+:
ROM Version R2517.7 Eng
ROM date 1/15/2010
Radio 1.07.9235
Protocol DV3.0
CPU reported MSM7200A (actually HiSilicon)
Model No. NEXPERIA SY.SOL 5209
Cheers yall!
T5358+ CONFIRMED. It is T5355 ROM compatible.
I feel lucky last Sunday. I've tired to ask about T5358+ and start flashing with different firmware (yes, risking to brick it). Every single T5355 ROM I've tried works fine. Most T5353 works as well, but some got stuck on boot splash. None of ROMs has zoom bar working, but I don't care for it.
The one in post #5, just as binary_vortex have mentioned, works, but colors are screwed-up, probably inverted. Firmware reported as :C02.001.09 from 3/02/2010. Mine T5358+ has R2518.7 Eng from 1/15/2010. It rings the bell with some info I've read on Mobile Uncle (with Google Translate) that 5358+ come with two different screens.
There are some very nice Chinese ROMs out there with WM 6.5.x and fully functional Manila. I'm yet to find same kind with English.
I actually like 6.1 better than 6.5. It feels snappier. For example G-sensor flips the screen in a fraction of a second where on 6.5 it takes over 3-4 seconds. Don't know if 6.1 is easier on battery.
Android ROMs start popping-up for 5355, but I'm yet to figure out how to install them or find one that already packaged. If anybody know - please post here.
Above is the info I was looking for a while and I'm posting it in hopes that it can be useful to owners of T5358+ who does not know where their phone fits in CO2 lineup.
Cheers yall!
hi.
thanks for confirming my problem!
will you be able to tell us where to find the roms in bin format?
Actually, which one is the less problematic for the T5358+?

[Q] HTC Surround 3g internet

Hello! I just got an unlocked at&t surround phone for christmas. I use simple mobile from t-mobile. The phone makes calls and sends texts but will not connect with the 3g internet or send MMS. I have already been through older posts here looking for an answer. everyone talks about an app in the marketplace called connection setup. I have seached the htc market place and the general marketplace and i cannot find it. Is there any other way? or am i possibly not looking in the right place?
Any help you can give me is welcome! if i cant fix the phone i will have to sell it and i dont want to I love it!

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!

2 turn on your device without sim card
3 go to settings change from automatic to gsm only
4 get the emei number via *#06# in the dial
5 buy code
6 input code when asked

thanks afripino for this info
Used Registry Editor to fix Bluetooth audio quality issue - \\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\ BitPool, set to 51
Thanks for making this thread!
First things I have done after installing the ROM were...
-Testing Internet Sharing (WiFi tethering) - works beautifully
-Used Registry Editor to fix Bluetooth audio quality issue - \\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\BitPool, set to 51
Installed Metro Theme from Bazaar
So far, it works flawlessly! I haven't had an issue yet. I have facebook, twitter, exchange (corporate), and 2 Gmail accounts synchronized as well as my Live account. Thanks for all of the quality work DFT and mwang! Thanks to The Xev for his HSPL for Dummies tutorial guide.

Thanks! Flashing this ROM myself right now.
Do you have links to each of the tools you used for these items?
EDIT: Disregard! After I finished flashing, I found that the apps are already pre-installed with the ROM. Really nice so far.

Installed this ROM last evening. Took about an hour, easy as cake. So far the rom seems very stable, everything works that I messed with. I will be donating to DTF soon. Thanks for the great tutorial Xev....

ok awesome feedback will add this to the info as soon as someone else confirm it
Diag mode?
Does diagnostic mode work with this rom? I loaded it OK but when I dial ##634# it stays stuck on "loading"
This is a free phone I got from the Microsoft giveaway, I'd like to put it on Cricket if I can but I can't get it into diag mode.

that i have no idea lets see if someone else have an answer
As an FYI I did not try ##634# in the stock verizon mango rom the phone came with, so it may have nothing to do with the new rom. I'm playing with the device on wifi only but would like to get it on PST and put it on a non contract so I can play with it with CDMA as well, see if I want to jump from android to win mobile 7.
So maybe I should have asked this in another thread, but I will wait and see if anyone knows this answer here.
Thanks!

When send SMS with Chinese, others will receive"_______"
Use FileExplorer,Reinstall “ServiceTools_01.provXML” and “EmbeddedTool.provxml” in “windows” folder.
That didn't seem to change anything, it still hangs on loading field test.
Can someone with this ROM verify ##634# or ##3282# works for them?

My phone work with ##3282# but ##634# not work it hangs on field test loading ...
Thanks, mine hangs on field test loading with both (as well as a couple other codes that HTC has used, either they do nothing or they hang)
I guess when I have time I will go back to the stock rom and see if it fixes it, unless someone else has a better idea. I need to change prl's at the very least to get it off verizon and onto a carrier that I can do prepay with.
I wish I knew more about windows 7, I have a 6.1 sprint touch pro, but this is completely different. Android is a mess but at least I can QPST it.
Before getting started with my post, I BEG any possible cookers, PLEASE PLEASSEEEEE do not take mwangs rom and repackage/rerelease it as your own work. He's already royally pissed off at GoldC users for stealing his hard work and then them taking donations for it.

This seems to be an issue with Spark_W's drivers. No clue when we can expect a fix, but this issue seems present in the stock rom as well. Verizon/HTC will prob need to update this in a driver fix... and who knows if they will ever do another official update for our phone. GoldC users are in the same boat with updates as us, so I'm wondering how many shared issues they have (I think the SMS issue is one, but they are stuck on CDMA only mode, unlike us).
I'm guessing this issue wasn't caught my them because HTC/Verizon didn't test the phone enough with input other then English/Spanish.

No, this appears to be related to the usage of Cotulla's full unlock.
The only fix for this right now is to cook the rom without Cotulla's full unlock.. but in that case you wouldn't have full unlock. For now, just do any additional programming you need to do with stock rom. I will post some links to "recooked" stock roms I have created that will work with HSPL in another thread. *edit* You can find the HSPL stockish roms here. They are the same as stock, except no SPL/RADIO/Spanish.
As for switching to cricket, I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash a new PRL to it, since it isn't as simple as it was in WM6.5 phones using ##PRL. I think you may still be able to use QPST, but I think you need to boot the phone in diag/bootloader mode. I wrote a custom diag driver to do stuff like this (You'd need to uninstall Zune to make it work right. @[email protected]), and I know it allowed QPST to connect to the phone and read data, but I never tired updating the PRL.
Other known issues with this rom:
You CANNOT program with *228. mwang has confirmed this with me that this is an issue with him removing a driver, and it will be fixed in next rom he releases. Only fix for now is to program the phone before flashing DFT Freedom at this time. In short: Don't perform a factory reset with DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy at this time! Otherwise you'll have to flash a different rom to program your phone successfully. (Without the driver required, if you attempt to program using this version of DFT Freedom for VZW Trophy, the phone will act like its programming, but will not get an authentication key, so you will get an error "We cannot currently authenticate your phone").
Some users have reported poor voice recondition. I can concur with this, but no fix so far. I'll have to try running a file compare on registry files to see if mwang tweaked any registry settings that might affect voice recondition and report it to him/yous peoples if I find anything. I don't have much free time anymore since I am employed again.
It also seems football released a new stock rom a few days ago. I'm guna go see what that's all about... maybe we'll get the SMS fix (a newer radio would be nice too) and a new official SYS (I won't hold my breath for that one!).
