Your phone has a demo ROM install. Is your phone for Verizon or other carriers?
First, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
Then download: RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_ 22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
Then just do the flashing part, won't list it here as the tutorial is also on the first link.

Yes, but if he is using the HTC Trophy for Verizon, this ROM will brick his phone. That's why I ask for his carrier.
No need, he already provided the CV which is 401 - an unbranded EU phone.
Sounds like you might have gotten a stolen phone. Why else would it have demo software installed?
He said that on the box that that its a demo phone, otherwise if it was stolen then it wouldn't have come with a box. Meaning either he bought the wrong phone, or the seller didn't post it as a demo phone.
Maybe the phone has been stolen with box form transport car or shop magazine?

Hi,
Looks like HTC have released a ROM upgrade for my phone, an HTC Touch HD. However when I put my serial number in it says that the upgrade is not suitable for my phone. Is this because my phone is Orange branded? Will it work for my phone? Is it worth it?
Thanks, Jamie

If your phone is Orange branded, any updated roms will come from Orange.

Welcome to the forum
Why a ROM upgrade if here you can find cooked ROM´s that are much much better than the official ones!
Enter to Blackstone section ad you will see
And read here for instructions on how to unlock, and flash a ROM:

Enjoy!
You always have to get the rom upgrades from your provider as branded roms are usually locked
Hi everyone!
I am new on this forum...
I asked this question on lot of other forums, and they told me to visit this forum,so you can answer me to this questions:
I own HTC Hero ( but in T-Mobile they call it T-Mobile G2 Touch )
First, I go to this site : http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=671&news_id=254
and then I try to enter serial number,so I can download the file...
But when I tried, I see this note : Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
I read,that note is showing because I bought mobile phone in T-Mobile, and they call it T-Mobile G2 Touch , and serial number is different than HTC Hero ( but the specifications are same,they are exactly the same... )
Than I find this site : http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=SOFTWAREDOWNLOADS&tab=2
and I download the file "October 2009: ROM Upgrade for G2 Touch"
,but when I attempted to install it, I saw that the version of ROM in my mobile is newest than the installer offered to me...So I cancel the installation.
After that,I find this site : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
and theere is explained how to : Create a GoldCard - Bypassing the RUU/SPL CID check to Root/Downgrade
,but I don't know can I do that,I am afraid that my mobile will be corrupted...
So,please,can you answer on this questions :
1. How can I upgrade ROM on my HTC HERO ( ie T-Mobile G2 Touch )
2. How can I update Android to newest version on HTC Hero?
Thanks very much!
The update will be rreleased OTA so you dont need to do all that extra stuff.

Please go to "HTC 7 Trophy" session and find the corresponding 7004 ROM which matches your Radio version and mobile suppliers to flash your device.
If no matched ROMs, then it's the same as Dell Venue Pro with NoDo preloaded.

With the name "The Heat" I assume your from the US.
If your talking the Verizon Trophy, you CAN NOT roll back to Pre-NoDo. NoDO was requred to support CDMA (Vzw Trophy and Sprint Arrive are both CDMA based phones)
Your only Method to to unlock a CDMA based WP7 device is to go the Dev unlock method. Spend some time looking, you need to get a developer account with MS and get a Unlock from them. If you have a .edu account, it could be free.
Chevron WILL NOT WORK ON CDMA PHONES.
This question is asked almost every day, 10 seconds in search would of found this answer. Also spend some time searching, getting a dev account is a little work but, it's not that hard to do.
Little bit more info
You assumed wrong, i live in Europe, Finland. So no verizon/vodafone. Im a little bit new to wp7 devices so could you link/pm me the correct rom and tell me how to flash it? Sorry for being noob and posting to wrong section
So is it possible to flash custom rom to non-unlocked phone?

Okay, I want to full unlock an HTC Titan. My understanding is that first I need to put HSPL on it using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684912. Then I need to cook the full unlock files found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021180 into a custom ROM such as the one provided by DFT here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1684907 using the tools and methods detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970370.
Doing all this will give me an HTC Titan with a fully unlocked custom ROM that I can use on a cell carrier in the United States? Did I mess up somewhere or is everything here? I really don't to buy a new phone just to brick it.
Thanks in advance for any help provided and my apologies that I am unable to provide specific phone info as I have not bought the phone yet.
Hey
I have just bought a HTC e8 or m8st or m8 ace.... it seems to go by many names. It was bought in china so it has the usual chinese apps and restriction to google play and apps.
I have previously changed ROM region on a z1mini so have an idea of what i want to do but it seems to be a bit more complicated with the htc.
I have tried to install the google services from the chinese app store but can't find them (GSM or something). I have been looking into rooting or just simply installing a UK or EU version of the ROM but it isn't very clear. the major issue i am coming across is that there is almost no information on this handset. What i can find is for the dual sim (i have single sim)version or changing it to an indian region.
I have also found on the HTCdev resources that this handset is known as the m8 ace. I have looked into the xda forms for the standard m8. It helped a lot about what to do in terms of rooting and the general processes but still not any clearer on compatibility issues. could i just flash the EU version of this ROM, would i have to change the CID, could i use a superCID (11111111)?
so my question is if someone has any information on how to go about this it would be greatly appreciated.
Can the handset be treated as a m8sw, single or dual sim?
Will i need to change the CID etc?
I should also mention that getting the OTA updates are not an issue for me, i could take them or leave them.
Thanks

Thanks, i've seen the tread but still a bit confused. I will post the questions relating to it on the thread.
finished
Just updating so if anyone is looking into this then they know i have managed to change the handset into a non chinese phone; full google play services and apps.
I used the link form the previous post with a few others....
I had to use a combination of the 2 methods to get it to work.

i had to look about for the procedures for some things but if you google it or look on the xda threads for the m8 you should find everything you need.
good luck
