HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott

Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!

How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search

Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks
Scott

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks
Scott

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??

waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?

Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.

You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.

I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........

Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.

I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!

I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.

I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine

I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.

have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?

leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.

X10 Mini Pro Cyanogen Froyo CM6

I was trying to respond to a post, but due to the newbie restriction I have to post it here.
F-24 in case you read this, I have the same issues running MMI codes. It works if you use the actual keyboard instead of the on-screen keyboard.
Slade, great job on this!
I just have a quick question. Since I have installed your rom, it keeps asking me for sim network unlock pin, when I restart. This did not happen with the stock version. And now I cannot find apps like Skype on the market. If I do it on my computer, and click to install it tells me that it is unavailable in my country.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Anyone?
Maybe someone could point slade or f-24 to this thread?!

cant use pm bro?

X2 / Star X2 MTK6575

This thread is about the "star one X2" or X2 mtk6575 phone.
It's one of the cheapest android 4.0 Chinese phone with mtk6575
As there is no topic about this phone I will start one !
1) The phone
star one X2 mtk6575 review
System
OS Android 4.0.3
CPU MTK6575
ROM 4GB
RAM 512MB
Screen
Display Size 4.0Inch
Type Capacitive touch screen
Resolution 800 x 480 pixels
Screen Color 260K Colors
It's a pretty good phone for the price (around 150 Usd). Battery last quite long, it's fluid.
I bought mine on antelife http://www.antelife.com/free-shipping-newest-x2-mtk6575-4-0-inch-screen-800-480-android-smartphone-with-os-android-4-0.html
Great website, with great customer service !
If you want any info, just ask
2) Usb drivers
I tried some drivers for mtk6575 but didn't work so I installed wandoujia
it is a Chinese program that almost recognize every Chinese phone and install drivers for it !
As I do not have 10 posts on the forum I cannot share the link but google it.
I uninstalled it after because I do not understand chinese, but it seems to be a great program, with which you can install lots of app (chinese app) that are not on the market.
3) Root
The easiest way to do it is with superoneclick !
It didn't work for me (stuck at step 7) so i used another tool that I found on these forum for the zopo 100
i had to restard my computer several time and launch again and again but it finally worked
Hope this thread can help some people
Hope customs ROM will arrive !
4) Stock firmware !
thanks to antelife.com customer service here is a link with stock IMG and some tools !!

Star B79
Here it is:
http://www.chinaphonereview.com/star-b79
I have one! I really liked, but asked to waranty switch because the GPS was not working well ... had an error 5-200 m. : (Sometimes was ok, sometimes was 200m of the place where i was ...
Someone with the same problem?
Any ideas?!
Thanks

it's not the same model in fact,
not the same screen and not the same camera
One the X2 i do not have any pb of gps

Is there any topic about Star B79

no, but b79, x310e and X2 are similar phones. So we can group them in the same topic or just create another one, as you wish.
It it is for your gps pb here is what I have :
- geolocalisation and maps work well and fast with data (3g or wifi)
- if I turn off data if have no geolocalisation but I can load the map (even with the gps off so I don't really understand)

Greaves,
Regarding 2) USB Drivers:
There's now an English-language version of Wandoujia. It's called SnapPea and is available for free at SnapPea.com
Would love to hear your feedback--I know that's been a pain point for users with Chinese Android phones!

Today I purchased this product should reach me next week!
In the meantime, I found your comments and hope you continue to add news to your phone!
Have you found any problem? Or does it? For me it is important that the GPS works perfectly, you've got to try it with some browser? I noticed you added a link where there is the possibility to update the rom already, tell me what improvements to make? Have you already tested? Aspect of your news

i've just received this great phone.
I'm satisfied with the performance, screen and the touch pad.
I just wonder is there any official firmware/custom rom available yet?
If i'm not asking too much it will be great if there is a repartition fix also.

hello,
I have no pb with the phone except that the gps needs my 3g to be on to work (I use google maps).
The link is not for an update rom but for the rom that is already on your phone. It should help to do custom rom but as I don't know how to do it I don't know if there will be any

This means that the GPS does not work offline? It means that if you install a browser such as sygict Mobile with integrated maps, does not work? If so is a big problem!

I got my Star One X2 last week, have exactly the same problem. I put Route66 (Navigaiton + maps) from andoid market its an offline navigator I just found. I put the same software on a Samsung Galaxy s2. Put both devices on the dashboard on the highway. Turned off WiFi and Data. It seemed equal for a while both were navigating the same way, but as soon as I passed a small village, the X2 would get out of track and show me in the woods or off-roads, while I was driving 130km/h, but the S2 continued just fine. It got back on track after the village was gone. Inside the town, it would jumb to different roads. So there has to be a problem with manucaturing. I just sent an request to the eBay seller asking for repair.....
Did you get any feedback on yours?

See my comment below, it works offline, but there is a precision problem.

I think its a hardware problem... i got a new unit and the problem is the same!
The solution is keep the internet connection off (gprs, 3G, wifi) and it works ok. The problem my apear again when you receive o phone call... the solution is turn The gps connection off and on again...
This is my Expirience... any ideas or solutions?

Thank you, my x2 has problems with the GPS, the wrong position 2-500 m.
In addition, each time using the GPS, after work with difficulty, almost blocked for 5 minutes. I'm going to contact the vendor for help, but if you could solve with a cooked rom and instructions for assembly, it would be great! (sorry I'm a little more than a rookie)

Yeah it's done the same to me.
an root verifier said it was rooted. turnout it wasn't.
still trying to change the language in samsung apps. such a joke.
Chinese manufactures really have an opportunity to take over a large percentage of the market, but not when they release products with problems like this.

Bassoon phablet has no sound
I have this phone from China a bassoon phablet, I was listening to music on it and in the middle of the song the sound just stopped. I thought I was getting a phone call, so I went into settings and checked the volume and everything was set correctly, I can't make a call, I can't call anyone, you can't hear the phone ringing or anything, but the internet works fine, there is no sound on the phone, can you help? Oh I tried pressing that red reset button on the back and that didn't help, I didn't try the factory restore, I wanted to get some advice before I do that. Thanks so much.
