Back in June, when the developers forum was blowing up with links to "download.windowsupdate.com" for the Tango update, I downloaded and pushed the .cabs for 8773 and firmware provided for my Lumia 710 RM-809 (found over here).
As a few people soon discovered, the firmware was supplied by a member in Canada and was evidently from Rogers. Although we got all the goodies from Tango (Internet sharing, extra camera features etc), it posed a problem for myself and other T-Mobile subscribers: now we weren't on the T-Mobile update channel.
It might be worth mentioning that I didn't purchase my 710 from T-Mobile; I received it from Microsoft as a prize in a contest. It was sent to me in an international box with Brazilian stickers (which would make it an RM-809, I assume).
So I'm wondering: are T-Mobile devices exclusively RM-803 and not RM-809? If so, it would probably be impossible for me to get a hold of firmware that would set me on the T-Mobile update channel.
If you have an answer to my question or any input, please let me know below.
Thanks!
(I attached a picture of the box label for reference)

Picked up the O2 Graphite from Thailand over the weekend. Would it be possible to create a new forum for the phone ? Will post a little mini review of the phone
O2 graphite is an Asus.. we have great discrimination on non-HTC devices or else, the site may have been flooded with devices from HP, Asus, Treo.. although we have an exception of the Atom.
BTW I think there are folks who are looking at P525 cooked ROMs, etc on the forums. Not a problem. Just wanted to inform people about the new smartphone phone - its pretty a solid offering and beats the Breeze - but like most Windows devices, its not without it own oddities. Thanks
Someone knows if the 3G function will work in Israel (Orange Network)?
I think the Graphite is working on 2100 mHz, right? Whats it in Israel?
Orange Israel rep. told me they don't hand 3g sim cards to be installed in phones they do not market. You don't actually have to buy the phone from them it just has to be a model they work with. And since they don't sell any windows mobile smartphones they wouldn't give me a 3g sim card :-(
As of today Palm is selling the Treo 750 unlocked in europe, so you don't need a vodafone contract. Now my big question is, will Palm make available the rom on that phone (or an update) so that I have a clean rom on my 750v...
where did you see it available tjmvdz?
as stated on the palm website, the sale will start the 25th of Feb or something like that....but I think I would go for it earlier if it would be available
Unusually for Vodafone, the 750v has one of the cleanest WM5 ROMS I've seen on any PPC. The only bit of branding I can see is phone startup screen. So i don't think you'll gain much anyway.
I would like this ROM as it has HSDPA active in it. Would be nicer than that hack.

Oops, sorry! not available yet. I jumped the gun as I saw it on the Palm UK webpage.
They should ship it not only with HSDPA active, but also with an updated ROM and some other Palm improvements. For me personally I strongly hope that it will solve my reception problems when I am in roaming. It is a known and confirmed firmware problem.
mmm different websites like msmobiles.com and pocketpcthoughts.com said it was available as of today..
I'm wondering if anyone here knows whether HTC offers non-camera variants of its [newer] cellphones. As usual, not much turns up on google as companies don't usually advertise (or even list!) such variants. Currently I own an Elfin running Onyx 2.2 firmware obtained from this forum, but soon I'll be starting work in an organization which prohibits all forms of cameras. It's a shame to have to ditch the HTC in favor of those cheap $60 trash-phones which do nothing save transceive calls and SMSes. (...and not to mention a significant inconvenience as I'll have to buy a separate pda/laptop etc.)
take it out yourself?
i saw someone asking the same thing in the raphael forums, because he has the same dilemma. said he took the camera out of his tytn ii
Cingular 3100 WM5(6.1) smartphone doesn't have a camera, instead of Cingular 3125 (the same but with camera)
Bro McPhersy has discovered the latest HTC firmware for the European & possibly Asian Trophy here.

Please Thank him there!
For convenience of Trophy users, I'm posting the URL & review here.

Internet Sharing IS in this cab. Standard caveat applies! Backup your device before updating! I've only tested IS on my Trophy on M1, my mobile operator. They do not have restrictions for Internet Sharing AFAIK. Your mileage depends on your operator.
I will post test results like battery consumption & compatibility with HTC software when I get the chance.
My Trophy is NOT Unlock so I can't comment on that. Wait for others to post their results.
WARNING THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR PHONE TO EUROPE SETTINGS
Other than that I can confirm results!
So the Firmware doesn't break interop-unlock etc.?

According to Heathcliff74, Unlocked HTC phones will not relock moving to 51201 but you can't unlock it after updating.

this removes the "htc" accent color and replaces it with "vodafone" (red) one. I have a non-branded trophy but my operator is Vodafone.
it's now:
Firmware: 2250.21.51201.707
Radio-SW: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.21U
Bootloader: 5.12.2250.1(134400)
and yes, internet-sharing is enabled (I had it since the previous htc-update). I can't see any other difference than before (can't tell you about interop-unlock because I don't have done it on this phone).
I didn't get 5100x, including many other Trophy users, so it's a big deal for us. ;-)

I am bumping this thread: Is there a NEWER update then this for GSM Trophy? I want the newer Wireless driver to port over to Spark_W.
I attempted to enable ICS with Spark_W's newest Wireless driver (Mango v3 on 8107), but I just can't get it to work, no matter what policies and settings I push out. I can use the the wireless driver found in this update just fine on Spark_W, but it has the MAC address bug that keeps changing the MAC address. I was hoping to obtain a newer cab to nab the Wireless driver out of that for my WIP Spark_W rom.
Hey guys,
So this goes out to anyone who may be able to help. I literally just got a new Nokia Lumia 1020 from my network in the UK - 3 (three hutchison UK) and as per usual as with all network only handsets they have branding and their own bloatware stuff on there which slows the handset down and often makes it slightly unstable. I know that with Android handsets it's a simple case of just installing a rooted version of your firmware and then replacing with the native unlocked/unbranded firmware which will debrand your handset, however I've never done such things with windows phones and certainly never messed about with a Nokia.
I've got the Nokia Caresuite but when I got the latest version there was no way to download the various firmwares available due to needing a username/password to login to the care server. Does anyone know where I can get generic firmware which is loaded onto the normal unlocked versions? As I know you can get these through third parties still like Carphone Warhouse and Phones4u, however as my network recently cut ties with both companies I ended up having to get the handset directly through my network. Wouldn't of minded changing networks except for the fact I get great signal through 3 and all you can eat data usage!
Any help from anyone who has achieved this would be great. The product number for mine is the RM-875.
Thanks
Dave.
Dave,
To debrand your phone follow this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515453
ROM you need to download is one of these:
059T1V6 RM-875 VAR EURO GB CV BLACK
059T4N5 RM-875 VAR EURO GB CV WHITE
059T4N3 RM-875 VAR EURO GB CV YELLOW
Depending on the colour of your Lumia.
As for SIM unlock code, Three UK supplies that free of charge, but the waiting time is up to 7 days. All you need to do is follow this process: http://support.three.co.uk/SRVS/CGI...cat=billing,varset_subcat=3772,Case=obj(4363)
Cheers!
That's excellent I might have to give it a blast when i get my phone back from Nokia as it's there for a screen repair!
The phone is Vodafone branded (Only slightly) but knowing it's there does annoy me a little so this information is great.

How can i unlock my lumia 1020?
i will apresiate your help!
I unlocked and unbranded my Vodafone uk 1020. I used an older version of the Nokia suite, downloaded the unbranded rom then upgraded to the latest Nokia suite and updated. I followed one of the links i found somewhere. Worked a treat. I unlocked through Vodafone which was long winded but worthwhile.
