Hope someone can help, ive read through the posts here till my head hurts and cant work a couple of things out.
Ive just bought a 2nd hand Vodafone branded Treo 750 and tried unlocking it using Cheetahunlocker. I got through steps 1 & 2 and then the program crashed every time after this point so I just copied the athena unlocker over to the handset, ran that and that has worked fine. i cant however run step 3 of cheetahunlocker to flash the radio back to it. Is this a problem or can i carry on usin it in this state ?
Before running the unlocker I did a hard reset and somehow all the vodafone branding disapeared. is this right ?
I'm using the device on O2-UK, what would be the best WM6 rom to upgrade using ?
Many Thanks
Another New Guy!
Hi!
I'm a new Treo 750 owner too. I guess you and I really came late to this party!
There are so many new terms, and so much stuff here, I feel like I'll never learn it!
I can't help much, since I'm only about 24 hours ahead of you. But I do recall reading in this forum that the "radio" modification should be "undone" because it has some bugs in it, and your phone may not be as reliable with it installed.
If I understand it right, the radio mod has to be done in order to do the unlock, then the radio mod needs to be undone.
Hopefully someone will answer you (and me!) and we can join the ranks of the happliy-unlocked!
Good luck!
I bought my Htc Magic in Hong kong last August.
I paid for it more than $620 (usd) after I found that the seller tried to cheat me.
I root it and my last rom was MyHero 2.0.5 with Official SenceUI on HTC Kernel 2.6.27 and it allmost worked perfect in my languge.
After that on 17/11/09 when some guys here where "happy to annonce" about the official senes upgrade I did it and since then I'm stuck with a piece of ***** and I'm gonna loose my money after I lost some days of work and 4 sleepless nights.
I feel like somebody rapped me because I can't even downgrade to the rom version I hade when I bought my Htc Magic.
It makes me sad because if HTC wouldn't release us I don't know if I'll ever buy any machine from theme again.

Power to the people - the boycott as a democratic action
I think you're being a bit extreme... I own the HTC Magic and I'd gladly buy another if I broke this one...
There are methods to downgrade your HTC Magic back to the MyHero ROM. I upgraded to the Official HTC image and downgraded back to CyanogenMod in the same night with no troubles at all. Have you even tried the goldcard method? Have you done any research and reading?
And besides, crap like this belongs in the General forum where nobody will read it anyway.
Sounds like you're over reacting completely.
Instead of complaining about something that may, or may not, be HTC's fault you could try explaining your problem properly and seeing if anyone can help you fix it.

It is HTC's fault, as they made it almost impossible for us to get rid of the perfect SPL, as they should listen to us! and let us to do what the.... we want with our phone!
The perfect SPL he is talking about is not breakable for now! nobodey can do anything about it not even GOOGLE!
XDA is here because of the leak of support from HTC from the first place , it always has been and will be HTC's fault when people here get stuck with this kind of ****!
I will start making a dialogue with htc on Tweeter later today , we should show what we want.
My proposal is ==> let thous who want, register their phone on HTC.com and loose their warranty for ever and then let them have a S-Off spl so they can do whatever they want with their phones.

A: Its your fault its "broken"
B: What do you define as broken?
C: Can you fastboot it, ADB it.... anything??
D: post some info and we can maybe help you fix it.
E: Post in the proper place.
F: You can't boycott a product everyone loves, and even when the few break it, they buy a new one or have HTC warranty fix it (paid or not)
Z: Post some info, and we can maybe help you fix it.
J: Post some info, and we can maybe help you fix it.
P.S
I know this is going to come up, but please don't blame bad English on not being able to get/request help.. if you spent 6**(usd) on it, paying 10 usd to a friend to help you properly translate it, would be worth it IMHO.
It is NOT HTC's fault!
Can you imagine if they made it easy for every idiot on the street to install the wrong image on their phone and then send it back for warranty?
They use a 'perfected' SPL in order to protect their warranty department and their proprietary software and hardware. If you want a completely open platform then you shouldn't have bought an HTC phone.
Now really, if you don't want the perfected SPL, then DO SOME READING!!! There are instructions on this very forum on how to create a GoldCard that will allow you to flash an older HTC RUU that does not have the perfected SPL. I know because I tried the RUU that you're running on your phones and I'm now running CyanogenMod 4.2.5 with SPL 1.33.2010 and a custom recovery image.
Quit the *****ing, do some reading, and shut up already!

regardless of what you think, it is your fault, you made every decision to "HACK" the "known working" software and thus broke it.
I will start making a dialogue with htc on Twitter later today , we should show what we want.

This will, be exactly what we (people with rooted, death spl bla bla bla) have. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that what ADP2 is for??
did you nandroid back up before you flashed the new rom? Why not just flash over the current rom that you have. Doesn't sound like your problem is that extreme. Can''t see why your having a problem. Any alteration of the OS that came with the phone would be your fault for changing that. But if you were smart enough to root and flash a custom rom, you should be able to get yourself out of this. Unless, someone did it for you. In that case. Hold them responsible. Good luck. I'm sure your not happy with this advice

Lol, angry opinionated poster FTW. Probably should have used an XDA dev's senseUI ROM instead then shouldn't he, as his previous ROM was working so well.
XDA is here to offer choice and because some people enjoy customising their devices - you then have the majority of HTC Magic users who wouldn't know what an SPL was if it hit them in the face, and are perfectly happy with their official sense ROM from HTC.
It's a matter of perspective, and yours and the OP's seem to be rather slanted. Have fun enlightening HTC about their wrong doing, but you're not making a very strong point here as you know the risks of flashing your phone - maybe he should have read up about perfect SPLs before he flashed his device.
Good luck
And if the OP would have waited a couple hours after seeing the Official update posted, he would have noticed that somebody very quickly deduced that the HTC update would install the 'Perfected' SPL.
You can't blame anyone else for your impatience and ignorance.
I Have the official HK sense rom 32A and I need help

sorry for my English.
i didn't breack the phone it works fine.
the problem is that I can't put my languge, as a lot of people here.
I spent all my time in reading and aearching s solution.
see as an exampale in the first post in this forum:
"right the SPL obviously doesnt like remote writing of the recovery, dont worry trying this wont **** up your device. i was trying to achieve what the oneclick root method does which basically just writes a recovery to the device to bypass the SPL but, it obviously wont allow remote flashing through ADB. il be back today to include the flashrec.apk within the rooting method unless i quickly devise a script to run off the device to flash the recovery ..... il be back
I apologise for this people i am on it. i just dont have a device with a perfected SPL to test it myself.

With a perfect SPL, not really. That thread you "quoted" from is your best bet if the goldcard method doesn't work on this SPL. redmc said he would be working on it, so worth a shot if you're really that screwed.
Or maybe send Amon_ra a well written PM asking if he knows a solution using a goldcard.
Nice guy nice baby you behave as a baby (baby face)
How i can know all this that i canoot root is as the original rom.
Isn't it an "open code"
That made very little sense to me. redmc is working on a way of breaking perfect SPLs with his Relentless Rooter software - so wait and see.
Android is open source, but this isn't the OS you're having an issue with, it's the SPL.
Using goldcard

Lol, well considering you have no other options, that sounds like a good idea - and what I just suggested.
I'd say good luck, but I've got the feeling any amount of luck will be of no use to you whatsoever..

Anyone here who flashes custom roms, but still tries the official HTC update is a complete idiot as far as i'm concerned as everyone here knows that HTC will most likely try to include a perfected SPL in their updates
I just got an HTC HD 2 today from a friend, and it already has a version of android on it. I dont know how to replace the android files without messing up the phone. Can someone help or walk me through this?
i know this aint help but have u tried the hd2 section
also is your name from coheed and cambria lol!
I have looked through the section and I cant find anything on how to replace the files. Yes it is. The greatest band ever!
sry i dont know anything about the hd2 and yes sir you are correct i just saw them in dallas for the neverender tour 4 hours of nothing but coheed it was amazing my 3rd show i may add new orleans, little rock, and dallas!
you shld be able to ask the same question in that thread im sure someone will be able to help
If your friend was so generous to give you that nice piece of hardware I´m sure he can guide you to replace the Android OS with that Microsoft crap. Your friend has invested some time and energy in the modification of his phone so he would be interested in having you enjoying it, too, wouldn´t he?
To be able to help it would be useful to know if android rom is nand (ie has replaced the original wm6.5 os) or is running from sd card.
When you boot up the phone, does magldr load?
I would suggest you do go over to the hd2 forum and look at the sticky threads, tey have all the info you will need to change/update android to something newer or even change os completely to say wp7?
If your droid is nand, it is very simple to update, just head over to the HD2 nand forum
Cheers.
Thank you everybody for being kind and not throwing noob slanders at me. The friend who gave me the phone actually bought it off of someone who put android on it haha so this nice phone is a hand-me-down for sure.
Hi. Been a looong time since I visited the forums. I was unhappy with the performance of my Fuze, so I came here to try some tricks with it. Pretty much did it all just short of installing the Android OS on it...which I think was just starting to be developed before I gave up on the Fuze.
I followed the development of the best roms and radios back in the spring/summer of last year, and the Fuze's got a TAEL rom on it now, and radio "1.12.25.19". The phone worked/works just fine...but I wasn't happy with it, and the large bill that arrived every month, so I ditched it long ago for a simple tracfone.
I'm wondering now though....is it possible to unlock either or both of the phones in a way that would allow me to use the tracfone SIM in the Fuze?
A simple enough question I think....and I tried the search....but I don't exactly know what to search for.
Appreciate any help you can offer. This has been a great forum for me in the past. VERY informative.

Thanks. I've seen that page, and followed the links. However that alone doesn't answer my question. I need to know if this can be done at all first, before I start buying software and codes for a 2? year old phone I don't even use. =)
Where are all the pro hackers and chefs for these things? Maybe the Fuze really WAS that bad, that noone even uses it anymore?
ok, first off, yes, i am a noob. i have scoured the forums on this site and could not find anything useful for my HTC Titan II. i know it is a relatively new phone but not as new as the nokia lumnia 900. so why does the lumnia have so much going for it and my phone doesnt? i have read how there are people already updating to windows 7.8, and installing custom roms, and all that good fun stuff on their lumnias. my phones carrier is at&t. i want to debrand my phone for starters. how do i do this as there is no info for my specific phone. i know this might sound dumb but the first titan (not the tytn) has forums all over the place for debranding. but im scared to try this on my titan 2. hopefully for good reason, or have i been searching for no reason? would the process for the titan I work for the titan II? i just really dont want to brick my phone. i suppose if i didnt want to brick my phone i wouldnt want to try any of this, but the need for debranding almost out weighs the risks of bricking. any help i could possibly get would be amazing. help me make my phone bad a$$!!!
