How much in the Rogers ROM am I going to hate? Will I need to root it and upgrade? I don't want to go to the hero rom if it will be slow. Is there a way to manually delete the rogers icons/programs? Also, after putting my ATT sim card into the magic (obviously unlocked), will i have to configure the settings or will it do it for me?

Hey all, maybe a basic question here but I am wondering if the T-Mobile Wing needs to SID unlocked before you can change the rom. I had an T-Mobile MDA previously and went through the unlocking procedures, and have been happily switching roms since. I need desperately to remove the factory rom T-Mobile installed for obvious reasons.
Should I request an unlock code before I attempt to install another rom?
Thanks
no read around the forums i use open touch v2.0
What reasons, besides leaving T-Mobile, do you have for getting away from the T-Mobile rom?
The stock ROM sucks. It's got very little memory from stock, it's got major memory leaks, and you can gain more space. You can also gain a lot of cool apps while STILL gaining storage space.
t-mobile rom is horrible
The rom just plain blows. I will continue to use T-Mobile service, but wish to wipe off all the T-Mobile junk. It makes the device really really slow. Just need to know if it must be unlocked prior to attempting a rom change.
^Mine didn't have to be unlocked.
Search for USPL, Hard-SPL for your Wing (if there even is Hard-SPL for you)
USPL will work for you
Hello, if i will downgrade my mytouch 3g phone form 1.6 to 1.5, do i have to re-activate the phone via google login again, using the data plan?
P.S. i bought my phone on ebay.. and it is already activated..
i am planning to root my phone..and install a hero rom or cyanogen..please help me.i am noob on rooting...
I'm assuming you have T-mobile. If I'm not mistaken you will have no problem since you have a sim card that contains all the information that allows the phone to work with that provider.
Hello all,
I am attempting to install the stock T-Mo US ROM onto a T-Mo UK G1. I have been using it for about a year with the dev phone ROM and it works fine on the T-Mo US 3G. Now I've switched to a different phone and I want to sell the G1, but I want to install the stock T-Mo ROM so it will have access to OTA, full market, and carrier customizations.
When I try to flash the RC29 DREAMIMG.nbh it gives me an error, probably because the phone has a different hardware ID (DREA110 for UK vs. DREA100 for US). I have tried installing it from the dev phone bootloader, I have gone back to the stock bootloader, tried using a goldcard, I'm hitting a dead end now.
Any suggestions? It seems there must be some way to bypass the hardware ID check since the dev phone ROM and customized ROMs will work.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. It will load the UK RC7 ROM, so I'm fairly certain it is just the hardware ID that is the limitation.
I finally got it working. If anyone else is trying to do this, use HardSPL and it will work fine.
Hi,
I have the G2 Touch hero on t-mobile. It has been unlocked. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.405.5, Android 1.5.
I want to start using on 3 Network, I have their internet / phone / text package.
I'm very new to this, so please can someone help me and point me in the right direction, as I would like to know the following;
1. How do I upgrade to android 2.1.
2. How do I get the 3 portal stuff to be on the phone when I switch on each time, as I would if it was a 3 phone. In other words switch on as on 3, not t-mobile.
Many thanks for your help.
Use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs.
As yet there are no 3 customised 2.1 ROMs.
You can get the 3UK customised 1.5 ROM in update.zip format from here...
MoDaCo'S Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero
Or just use any custom 2.1 ROM and search "3 uk skype apk" and "3 uk MSN apk" for those two apps,... not sure if there are others you may want/need?
Hi ddotpatel,
If I don't use a custom rom, because I find it difficult to do, can I just get an "official" 2.1 upgrade for the phone via t-mobile or 3 network. Which would I need, as its a t-mobile phone, with a 3 sim?
Thank you,

Now Im not 100% on this.. but would the t-mobile phone not tell the update server it needs the t-mobile update regardless of the sim thats in it?
.. for example.. Ive got an unbranded hero.. with an orange sim.. but I got the unbranded update pushed through to me.

Indeed that sounds about right to me,....
There are no UK branded TMobile or 3UK 2.1 ROMs yet, they always take longer to be released. If you dont want to use custom ROMs, and are happy to NOT have root access, you can run the official RUU .exe filefor 3UK from [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links . This will install android 1.5 (3UK customised) and have your phone set up for updates.
WARNING,.... You might not be able to use custom ROMs ever again once updated to official 2.1.
Does anybody know hd2 usa work for att sim card? I am flashing the spl to use the package 3 provide by cotulla and try to make it works... But ATT sim card just cant use in the hd2 usa....If anybody know about it please post i will be very appreciated thanks a lot
Yes it will work, but you must remove the simlock off the HD2 and you won't have 3G
How do i remove the simlock off the HD2?
Get an unlock code. Either from Tmobile or an online unlock code site.
This has nothing to do with ROM development.
i do have the unlock code from Tmobile USA, when i changed the AT&T Simcard it doesn't popup any thing, please let me know, what may cause that problem can't do the unlock procedure, my two causin had the same phone, they using same AT&T simcard to unlock it....i need some help and feed back...
If you have the tmous hd2 then you will have to flash a rom that doesnt have the preconfigured tmobile settings in it or look around for the connection setup cab for leo, then it will set up your connection for att....using tmous hd2 on att myself.....could flash the rom i released today...runs fine on att....
