Hello, I just want to know if a stock ROM from HTC exist? I don't speak about operators ROM like vodafone, rogers, cingular,...
If yes, how to install it and where to do download it?
In other case, is this possible to flash a RUU....Vodafone_FR... on a RUU ....Vodafone_DE? Because I live in France and I buy a German phone
(Obviously I know how to change langage, but it's just to have updates from my country ^^)
Thanks

The carrier versions of the ROM's are simply just the stock with the added carrier apps. Install a stock rooted rom and remove all carrier apps, and use google chrome as the default web browser.

You would have to root and change your CID.
At that point, it would be much easier to just pick the stock rooted ROM from Development (if its available) and flash it the same way you would any custom ROM.
AFAIK, there is no "unbranded" HTC firmware, the way there has been in the past for for HTC devices. One of the European or Asian ROMs are probably as close as you will come. As mentioned, those are pretty close to stock, just with some bloatware apps (which can be uninstalled). If you want something close to unbranded, stay away from AT&T stock ROMs, as they contain the most bloat, as well as other customizations throughout the OS (carrier icons, splash screens, locked down tethering, and more).

Hello,
Marshmallow is rolling out to the Xperia Z5, but for my Market/Operation (Netherlands/Customized NL) there is no release yet, but I am impatience.
Can I just install any other Counter/Customized version without issues?
If so, what are the differences between a Customized-DE and an Customized-NL at all?
sure, you can flash any region/country customized versions. the main differences are the pre-installed apps, like amazon, sky go, etc..
then there are some minor changes like notification icons. the branded firmwares also have some small ui changes.
if i remember right, the cust. RU and NOBA versions have less bloatware installed like cust. DE for example.
just try it out, you can do nothing wrong.
edit: oh, probably the japanese version wont work lol, since its a different firmware number

I use XperiaFirm to download the firmware, so I guess I will go with the Russian 32.1.A.1.163 version than.
Since I plan to do a clean install, since this is a major update, I have my backups ready :fingers-crossed:
Just try not to take the chinese version, it has no google play or google apps...
I'm looking to flash the Chinese version just because it has all to more to offer interns of oppos apps plus themes, is there anyway this is possible? And would the playstore be side loadable?
I have a Chinese Fold 2, in which comes stock with all Chinese apps and lock access to Chinese Samsung app stores and content (I want to get live wallpapers from the Samsung Theme store).
Is there currently a way to flash an HK, NA, or International Fold 2 variant over a stock Chinese F9160 ROM? I couldn't find any ROMs under the ROM section so far, so I'm guessing no, but maybe someone knows something I don't.
Thanks
Ok I have read much on the net and since I have no idea how to flash a phone or do any mods I will ask my questions here .
I am considering a Edge X30 (Chinese Version) from china where the seller will flash a Global Rom on it before shipping.
Here is what they say in the description:
"1. All the mobile phones in our store are original, Chinese version. We will open the package of this mobile phone, install and test the global rom. The global version supports multilingual and ota updates."
Now I think that if the bootloader has been unlocked to re flash the Rom it cannot be locked again and that is why it is not suppose to be able to get OTA updates
so I am wondering if the above claim by the seller is true?
I would consider the CN Rom and just put Google on it but I do not want the Chinese Apps that you cannot remove or any chinese language.
Other sellers of the same phone say no OTA if they put the Global Rom on it but this seller says it will OTA and they say they are "Motorola store"
so maybe they know more?
I've been using the CN version for most of this year without a problem. Everything works as it should using Google including Pay.
There aren't too many Chinese apps & all can be removed except the Moto apps themselves. Have installed all app's easily & have had several updates as well. Only negative is battery but I could say that about most phones. I would stay away from the global version IMO but of course it's up to you
Thanks for the reply.
I will consider the CN Version as long as I can delete or uninstall any useless Chinese apps .Are the Moto apps same as a phone from USA?
Did you download Google Play Store App and others like Google Maps etc?
