How Can I Improve My Orange HTC TYTN2

Hi,
I have just had my Orange Branded HTC TYTN 2 arrive (Think that its called the Kaiser) and I am looking at getting rid of all the horrible Orange branding stuff as its slows the phone right down and just looks ugly. Now, what I flashed the utility on my device (cant remeber the name but its the file that is needed before any flash is done is that helps) so now what do I do? I have downloaded the HTC rom but that is way below the version that is on my phone already (1.81) so that is where I am .. is there anything that I can do?
Thanks
Scott

If you feel brave, you can dump your current ROM, use the kitchen, strip it down, and flash it back. Also, just because the ROM version is lower does not mean the ROM is inferior. HTC ROM worked great for me but I moved to helmic's custom ROM because it was more stripped down.

When does it ask you for an unlock code?
unlocking code
afer it have booted up and installed all the custom software,
its saying the following
SIM Lock
Network is locked. please input your unlocking code.
what do you think?
Thanks
You have sim-locked the phone. With the Orange phones you are only supposed to flash the OS ROM. Flashing the radio ROM results in sim locking the phone so even your Orange sim card won't work. Lucky for you apparently you can get it unlocked by paying one of the guys on here £25. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=orange+sim+lock
go here http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php I have used them before with no problems . You don't have to wait 3 weeks and it costs the same
Or as the advice above , this forum is littered with threads on problems flashing Orange phones , shame someone did not advise you of this . Still get it unlocked and you are free from all that Orange Cr*p and its Network lock

You should have read the sticky's on top of this forum first. Then you would have known you need to run Hard SPL first. I've done the same and have no problems with my rom.
You could still try flashing it with hard SPL and then again flash with a rom of your taste, but I can't garantuee it will work...

is it necessary to remove security from the device?

Hi all
I have an unbranded HTC Touch pro and i was wondering if it was necessary for me to remove the CID lock and remove security from the phone?
i will be flashing custom roms from the rom development sub-forum, but i will not be flashing radio roms, these will only be flashed if htc choose to release an official one
what are the advantages to removing security and cid lock?
many thanks

I, as well as most people would HIGHLY advise doing so. Even if you don't intend flashing a radio.
As for the advantages.... Look into the "radio from hell" in the kaiser section. If this ever happened to us here those who are cid unlocked will be greatful. Besides, its easy to do and so worth it.
but what would happen if i wanted to send the device back to HTC for repair?
that is the only thing that is stopping me from clicking update!

You can re-lock the device and flash back to original spl, cid, and rom.
anyone got a guide for this?

Hey Guys,
I'm thinking about to installed the Nextgen+ ROM on my workable HTC HD7 but I just wanna know, it is possible to save my whole data (like: savegames, apps, and so on) and restore back to my phone on the new ROM? I've never jail breaked my phone so can anybody tell my what I should do?
BTW: my Phone is installed with Bootloader: 1.16.2250 (Security Unlocked) and can I install any ROM which I want? or what they mean with "Security Unlocked"?
Thanks for your help.

Wont update to sense 5 :eek:

Hey guys I was wondering if any one can help me here I have an issue and its bothering me like hell
So I bought my new AT&T one x and there was an update available (sense 5 update) and when I downloaded I pressed on update now and the phone turned off and just in the middle of the update , the installation shows an error triangle with exclamation mark and the phone restarted and nothing happened !
I need help updating it and without rooting my phone ...
thanks
I don't think there's an official sense 5 update from AT&T yet? What is your current firmware?
There is no Sense 5 update for at&t yet. Was the phone used? Does it respond at all when you try to power it on now?

So it sounds like you tried updating, it failed, and then you just rebooted back into android. I had this problem a while back. You can update via RUU, though it'll wipe your phone. Are you rooted? Also, there's no official Sense 5 for AT&T One X.
No my phone is not and was not rooted .. i bought newly yesterday
To be honest i dont know if its at&t but it is the one xl , the dual core one , unlocked (unlocked for any gsm network)
I really need help..
And if there is no official sense 5 then why do i get an update available when i scan ?? And it says sense 5 in the update info..
You don't know what carrier you're on? There is an update for sense 5 but not for AT&T. Anyways just fyi, but sorry don't know how to fix your issue.
How can you not know which carrier you're with? Before you think about taking an OTA we need to see your bootloader details first. To get to the bootloader turn off your phone, once it's completely off hold the volume down button and then the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text. This is your bootloader, please post the first five lines.

Oh , haha , sorry for the mistake.. i thought the dual core one x is nessesarly at&t...
My phone is unlocked but still did not get a sim card yet .. although it will be from pelephone, im from Israel .
Ps: my phone is from hong kong china , i bought it on ebay
And I do not want to root if there is an update , since there is i just need help installing it..
Do I need a working , carrier to install updates?

I already did check every single detail the moment I got my phone !
I even called my friend to come over to compare his ONE x with mine and no difference at all ! maybe the only difference is that my phone is faster XD , yet I am assuming it wont update because I have no sim card yet (no carrier)...
any more ideas ?

If you want help, you need to do a better job of reading replies and answering the questions that were already asked of you. We need more info before we can help. As timmaaa asked on a previous reply, we need hboot details.

So I did what you told me :
*** LOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111 (8 1'S i GUESS)
HBOOT-1.14.0002
RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2
OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
Jun 11 2012,14:36:28
So I got my sim card and I checked for updates and installed it , and did the same problem , got stuck with triangle and exclamation mark in it (in red color) and restarted after a minute or some thing and nothing changed ...
It isn't working because your CID was changed to SuperCID (11111111) by the previous owner of the phone. You need to change it back to the original CID fit the update to work. Is it definitely the at&t model? If so it should have the at&t logo at the top of the screen instead of the HTC logo.

Well... I bought the htc one xl from ebay , the dual core... It is unlocked and now my carrier is celcum since i put the celcum sim in my one xl... I am from Israel .. though the device i bought was brand new according to the seller... On top there is htc logo not at&t since its unlocked..
Sorry man, but your phone is pre-owned. If you really want the official update you need to change the CID to the original CID, the problem is you don't know what the original CID is. I'd contact the seller and firstly complain, and ask for a partial refund.

Ok I sent my seller a message of complain and he better answer me soon ! yet the device feels brand new ... even if it was pre owned I can accept it since I bought it for cheap money .. I get what I pay for .. any wayz I asked him for an original CID and when he gives it to me will it take me a long term process to change my CID back to the original ??
and thanks a lot for your help I appreciate it !!
The process to change the CID back is pretty easy, it's one fastboot command. Luckily the phone is s-off so you can change the CID as many times as you wish to. You'll need adb/fastboot installed on your pc, as well as HTC drivers.
The other option is to unlock the bootloader at htcdev, install a custom recovery (TWRP), and install a custom Sense 5 ROM (or any ROM for that matter). We have them in our development section and they range from completely stock to seriously tweaked, either way it's the same experience as you'd have by taking the official update.

Welll... The seller doesnt know the original cid and he still claims that all their phones sre brand new... Is there by any chance i can know my original cid besides asking the seller?
There isn't really any way to tell once the CID has been changed. You should be able to use any CID as long as you use the corresponding RUU to go with it.

I don't care about the message, but I believe it is possible to use stock boot and recovery with magisk v14. and the message should not appear in that case. True?

These messages are not a concern, you won't have any legal issues neither be compromising your financial information. Just the standard disclaimer that you'll find on all HTC phones when flashing unsigned images.
If device is powered off and message is still on screen as stated... Id try flashing the official RUU for your region and see if it disappears...If still on screen when phone is powered off... I'd look into an rma

Your MID doesn't match your software version. Either you changed your MID or you flashed a stock rom not matching yours.
