is there any way to unlock the official HTC shipped mango ROMs?
I'm from south east asia, currently running Mango 7720 RTM on my HTC HD7. I would like to replace the OS with the official HTC shipped mango ROM for asia. I'm concerned about the games and apps I'd sideloaded previously. Is there a way to unlock this official ROM so that I would be able to sideload apps and games?
Thank you in advance.

No, not as of yet. The thread you should be watching is...

He's found a way to INTEROP-UNLOCK mango but, on LG and Samsung devices only right now but, IS working on HTC devices. Some very interesting discussion.
You still would need to be at least Dev unlocked to be able to side load his app tho.
thank you. for now, i've installed HSPL and loaded a custom unlocked official HTC Europe ROM on my HD7. Turns out the HTC Asia ROMs leaked out were not suitable to be loaded on my phone directly. They are for phones old in Singapore/Malaysia. I bought mine from Thailand

I am about to buy a HTC Sensation. However, my provider (Swisscom, Switzerland) offers it only with Branding. Is there a way I can flash such a branded device with the original ROM from HTC? Is it available anywhere? Will I have problems because of the signed bootloader? Thanks in advandace for any help!
Currently, the goldcard method doesn't seem to be working. That's the only way to flash an official ROM without having an unlocked bootloader.
So, currently, sadly no way to do it. Hopefully when HTC release an unlocked bootloader for it, we will see changes.

Do you know whether HTC is planning to do so at all? I heard they wanted to make future bootloaders unsigned, but will the Sensation get an "Update" or something like that to have it unsigned?
I asked HTC about how and when the bootloader will be unlocked and they just tweeted me back saying "Good question. More specific details will be shared soon."
So yeah... :/

Hello,
Got a HTC Sensation from Swisscom and I'm wondering the same, any news on this?
I tried an update found on the forum: version 1.35.401.1, tried to install and said 'wrong client id'... Didn't update.
Just sent a request to HTC customer support to know if I'll get the OTA... But I don't expect much from this.
If I can't unlock and root this phone I'm gonna get rid of it and will never get a HTC again, that's one sure thing. Already regret having bought it, should have waited for it to be unlocked first!

You'll have to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader (or for AlphaRev to do that before HTC). Expect HTC do provide the full unlock in September.
PS. I bought it unbranded meanwhile.
I'm planning to buy a HTC sensation in NY, but for use in Brazil, I've always used unbranded HTC phones (touch, diamond2, Desire HD) because I hate those logos and apps, and also the updates OTA are released faster as they come directly from HTC.
If I can't find the phone in NY (the WW version, wich I want), is it possible to convert it's software into stock/unbranded version? How?
* If anyone has tips about where to find the WW version in Miami/NYC... I'd appreciate.
Thank you all...
I fear you'll have to wait for S-off to flash an unbranded or a custom ROM.
But for the moment, with temp root, you still can use Viperbloat or Titanium backup to kill all the operator apps.....
Hi all,
I have the Vodafone branded HTC Sensation in Australia. And now with the ICS updates slowly rolling out, Vodafone is still not testing the ICS ROM even though other Australia carriers are. Therefore, it is making me think that updating the Sensation is not their priority at all, maybe they won't even do it.
Hence my question, is there any way to go from the Vodafone ROM to the Stock HTC ROM and get OTA updates directly via HTC?
Thanks!
Yep. Just flash a stock unbranded ROM.
Is it possible to upgrade my hTC Desire HD with a stock ICS?
It was originally bought in Japan, locked to Softbank with that carrier's bloated ROM (on GB).
I then rooted it and flashed CoreDroid 9.2
At hTC Japan they refuse to help me citing carrier agreements.
This upsets me because the device is mine and I want to upgrade it, if it is technically possible.
Can I just go to any English hTC website and try to upgrade my phone using the ICS for my same model but sold unlocked in another country?
TIA
Tommaso
Anyone? Any advice? Please?
So obviously most people want to unbrand their phones to remove bloatware, but that isn't the case with WP7.
I have an EU Titan, and I have been wondering to try an AT&T rom (since the Titan is/was only going through AT&T in US).
Would it be possible to install a branded AT&T rom to an EU Titan? With all HSPL and stuff of course.

Yes, go to the Titan forum here on XDA and there are AT&T stock ROMs, AT&T unlocked stock ROMs (Mango, Tango and 7.8) - flash whatever you like!
