I am having troubles with the wi-fi in my htc surround. I am thinking if I do a hard reset maybe it will fix and the question is: doing the hard set the phone will lock tyo at&t again or it will keep unlock?
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0
It will reset everything so yes it will relock and will go back to whatever the stock firmware was

hey everyone i recently got my htc arrive [sprint] and it came with the 7392 update pre installed and i was woundering if there is anyway to downgrade it or unlock it, if so thankyou very much!
From what I've read in different parts of this forum, people downgrade to an earlier version of WP7 by using Zune to restore to the point before they upgraded, and that's not possible in your case because you didn't upgrade in the first place!
Another way I could think of it to install on your device a ROM for an earlier version of WP7, but then you might face problems with CDMA because it wasn't supported in the early versions, so unless you can put a ROM for the HTC 7 Pro's old WP7 then unlock it then upgrade and get CDMA support again, it might not be possible :S
...
i cant find a rom for my phone. they have them but not for the htc arrive sprint model and i wanted to work on a jail break for my phone or for the nodo but i really dont know where to start. does anyone have a htc arrive pre nodo update for sprint?

i dont get where you are trying to point me to go. first link is for htc 7 pro non sprint and then i check out the dev unlock which dosnt work anymore cause microsoft dosnt have that edu email regester anymore you have to regester by school. and plus i really do not feel comfortable using my ssn!
You can't downgrade past NoDo. Since NoDo is required for CDMA support, there is no way to downgrade further since your phone never had a version of WP7 prior to NoDo. Even if you could, you'd likely break your phone.
no your wrong because the demo phone in my store is 7004 cdma so enuff of this cdma non supported on the older verson first off the phone is cdma not gsm! wait if i dump the demos phone 7004 update could i use it on my main phone?
this was totally fail interpret..
As far as HTC devices staying or having a way to stay unlocked during the process is not clearly figured out yet. Petbebe has a procedure but it has failed to work for me and a few others. Check here...

It didnt work for me too : Connection Setup didnt launch anymore after the 7720 Update so the phone stay locked ....
But i use Xaploader from Ansar : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18280255#post18280255 who will install Connection Setup 1.0 as a purchased app ... then the final update can be unlock
DFT rom
The only way I could get to mango and have my HTC surround stay unlock was by using the hspl/rspl then the DFT rom for it, I tried several times to do it through the legit upgrade path with the guides etc and it did not work, I could not even get as far as nodo with an unlock
Hi there, I currently own an HTC Desire S, the information for it is below:
Android version:
2.3.3
HTC Sense version:
2.1
Software number:
1.28.401.1
Operator name:
vodaphone UK
I haven't yet recieved the Android 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 update. I have tryed searching for updates and checking in using that checkin dial code. I'm just wondering if there's anyway to install this official update onto my phone with minimal risk? I've looked around the forums but can't find exactly what i'm looking for (or I just can't find it!).
Thanks!
I think that you have got the same software version 1.28.401.1 that I had until recently.
I would like to have used to OTA update route but basically got tired of waiting.
I believe that the OTA update was targetted (certainly at first) specifically at those people who already received the previous (troublesome) update to 1.47.
I believe this explains why we didn't get the update.
I loaded the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed from the development section here and it works a treat. No problems.
The only thing that puzzles me is that my phone is very definitely unbranded and not operator locked, whereas you mention Vodaphone. (If your phone was locked to Vodaphone I would have expected a different software version).
Anyway, if your phone is unlocked like mine, I would certainly recommend using the RUU.

Thanks very much for your reply.
Yeah, unfortunately my phone is in fact locked to Vodaphone, and I couldn't find the equivalent update that you listed for unlocked phones.
i have a vodafone as well on the same firmware and never got it.
from what i hear the update was pulled due to instability so if you didnt receive it already i very much doubt you will untill a new version is released.
i gave up waiting and went to endymion 3.5

Are you sure it's locked?!
I thought that software version was for the generic european unlocked version.
Someone else help me here - can the same software number apply to both operator locked and unlocked phones?

i can confirm the htc euro ruu DOES NOT WORK ON VODAFONE BRANDED DEVICES. it bricked my phone and took a whole lot of work to downgrade back to the old hboot to get it working again. the only way to install this version on a voda desire s is via goldcard.it will just give you a cid error and brick your device

Completely agree, great care needed !
But my point was, the software version1.28.401.1 reported by Biogeneric appears to be the same as I had until recently on my unbranded phone.
I thought that if his phone was locked to Vodaphone, wouldn't it have a different software number? Or can the operator lock the phone to their network without changing this software version away form the "generic" one?
- Steve
I'm with Vodaphone, and it says my network is "vodaphone UK" so i'm assuming it's locked! How am I supposed to find out without putting a different networks Sim in?

Mine (which recently had the same software version and in NOT operator locked) simply says the name of whatever SIM card you insert.
I suspect your phone may be unlocked, but I'd like feedback from a more experienced developer before suggesting that you load the RUU! We don't want any nasty accidents
By the way, I've just loaded RUU for 2.10.401.8 and it's looking good so far...
Okay, I tried putting in an Orange sim card and setting the network to Orange and it appears to all work (well, I had signal on it, and the network was stated as "Orange"). So i'm assuming my phone is in fact unlocked then?
If so, great news! Am I all clear to update to that unlocked version then? Anyone got a link to the newest one? (Not any mods etc. just the standard update!).
Thanks all!

I believe that the most recent RUU is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
in the "Shipped Desire S ROM Collection" :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
I loaded this last night and not experienced any problems so far.
Be warned that this will wipe all existing data on your phone, so make sure that you have got everything saved. In some respects, this is a good thing because you are sure of getting a completely fresh install.
I can't see any reason why this shouldn't work for you, but I wouldn't feel bad if you got a second opinion

Okay thanks very much! I'll try updating it via that ROM tonight - hopefully I won't brick it!
Does anyone know if updating the phone using this method voids the warranty?
Also, how do I actually install that update to my phone? Seen a few tutorials scattared around but some are for different things and I don't want to mess it up! (Easiest/quickest method please, if there is one ha!)
Thanks a lot for your help Steve!

I expect that doing almost anything other than the "official" OTA update theoretically voids warranty. But perhaps more important, if it all went horribly wrong, could anyone detect that you were fiddling with it
If you returned a phone rooted or S-off, then it's asking for trouble.
The discussed RUU is a signed update that does not invoke S-off or root the phone so should not create an "obvious" problem.
The way I updated my phone was as follows:
- I already had HTC Sync installed on my PC
- Fully charged phone
- Downloaded the RUU file to folder on hard disk
- Temporarily disabled my antivirus
- Temporarily disabled standby power saving option on PC
- Connected the phone as normal and selected the option on phone to do Sync
- I let the phone completely finish sync
- I ran the RUU on the PC and followed the simple instructions.
- It took about 10 minutes with no user intervention required.
I don't know if the whole HTC Sync thing is necessary, it was on my PC anyway and the procedure has worked OK for me.
I can now confirm this has all worked for me. no problems so far!
Thanks for all your help fasty! Very much appreciated.

Great news! Be sure to thank "Football" because he is the one that has done the hard work making these ROMs available.
Hi not sure if posting in correct thread but I am on O2 and also have the 1.28.401.1 software and just been informed by HTC my phone is unbranded despite coming straight from O2. Has anyone received the update whilst being on 1.28.401.1? Am i wasting my time holding out for an OTA update?

Hi everyone,
I am an HTC Mazaa owner and want to know if theres a way to install HTC Trophy ROM on my Mazaa device. Since apperently Mazaa is same in everything to Trophy, so I guess no extra drivers will be needed.
I am very new to all this. So please tell me if theres a chance for installing Trophy ROM on Mazaa, if yes, how.
Thank you.
Please reply people
CPU is different
I think CPU and some chip is diffrent so It is not possible
The answer is no. The HTC Mazaa may share the same shell with the HTC Trophy, but the internals are different.
Is there any other way to install the latest ROM?
OR atleast tell me how to do interop unlock on my Mazaa.
The HTC Interop-Unlock app should work on the Mazaa, unless it has a specific block on the Connection Setup app or its firmware version is too high.
HTC interop-unlock is not working on my Mazaa that has mango. Please help.
... Did you read the info on what is required for the app to work? What's your firmware version number? Prior to Mango, were you able to use provxml apps?

I feel your pain, I have interop unlocked my Trophy twice but with this latest firmware it's impossible. We will have to wait for a custom ROM.
Verizon Trophy is now supported in V3 of DFT's HSPL unlock. I have written a HOWTO guide for Verizon Trophy.
Mazaa, I somehow doubt if DFT is working to support, but you'd need to contact them and ask. They can only work on phones they can get their hands on, and they may not be able to get a Mazaa.
It seems that Mazaa has one stock rom available (i have no way of verifying if this rom works), but it is for Mango. I do not know if this phone shipped with NoDo or if you can find a stock NoDo from for it (perhaps try private messaging Football to see if he has a connection that can get roms for this phone??).
Verizon Trophy can be downgraded to NoDo using the same rom listed in my HSPL guide (it is the only NoDo rom that isn't a store demo).
Hi,
I uploaded the stock mango rom. It works.
I personally don't know anyone with a stock nodo rom for the mazaa.
Connection setup should exit with "no database found" or something like that. Yes, very lame.
On the whole, there's no way to interop-unlock the mazaa yet.
Interestingly, if you register the phone's serial on the htc website, it registers as a SPARK_W, which is the same as the verizon trophy. I haven't tried using hspl v3 to unlock it, so update us if you get anywhere.
but if you do screw up, then just use the stock rom above. ;-)

I am ready to try HSPL V3 but I can't enter the phone's SPL mode. The Volume Down + Power On is not working for me. Can someone guide me on how I can use HSPL V3 on Maaza.
Please reply.
reply please.
