Hey guys, my eng is not so good so I hope you can understand what I will say. I've found the way to root the Italian Version of ICS brand TIM with NFC, the GT-i9100P.
Despite the guides for the nobrand version, that method is not suitable for the 9100P TIM.
If you want the guide you only have to wait for Monday morning: I will first publish it on my blog, then if you like I will try to translate here.
I hope this can help some of you because it has been a problem for me not to have the root privileges on the stock TIM ICS.
CYA.
===== EDIT =====
The complete guide is HERE, in italian.
If you're looking for the English version please click HERE
Please consider a small donation if you like my workaround by clicking here, thankyou.
CYA
Why wait until Monday? Flash an ICS kernel which has CWM recovery, install su + superuser/supersu, flash back original kernel (which you can find on samfirmware), ????, profit.
I guess I'm missing something.

I guess you missed the part about not changing ROM, and flashing back the original kernel?
Good job.

And that will bring back NFC options in settings?
Yes, the NFC settings will be back because of the native firmware version and it's fully functional.
You miss that the NFC version is different from the one without the nfc chip: with the italian tim branded version that method is not compatible.
I've tried many times with kernels and booting in cwm to flash the SU installer but when I came back to home in ics the file was missing.
Be sure, this is the only method to flash the italian version with brand TIM; it's a bad rom to inject root because of the space.
I say to wait because the guide is timed to be published on monday morning on my blog.
If you have any idea it's wellcome, but I think you cannot make it for sure if you have not the S2 in the conditions we have in Italy with TIM carrier.
I don't have an I9100P with brand TIM to prove you wrong, but it just sounds like nonsense that existing methods do not work. Be that using the method mentioned above, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I haven't heard of anyone having trouble rooting that model whilst retaining NFC functionality.
I does not do anything because the ROM is fully charged with TIM and there is no space to inject the files we need for superuser. We have no KB free to store them.

Ok, with stock rom, not rooted I mean, open Titanium and see how much free space you have on system: if you have no space you cannot flash any SU or BUSYBOX.
Mobile Odin helps me moving automatically GMaps to free space.
This is the method:
- flash stock nobrand ics
- root with cwm
- launch mobile odin and flash the branded version of ics
- it will ask to delete gmaps: say yes.
- make sure you have checked the inject superuser
- flash firmware
This is the method I found to root a rom full like an egg. I think Orange put on you roms less software than tim in Italy: we have about 10 TIM programs for about 20-30 MB occupied by them. With no root permissions we cannot unistall it to make room for SU binaries.
U still think I'm wrong?
If you search in forums you will find the in Italy we have many problems with that ICS release, not with the unbranded one instead.
Ah, thanx for add LOLSPAM to tags: is it auto-tagging? :|

If what you describe is indeed the case, your solution sounds long winded and unnecessary. You should just be able to flash a CF-root kernel, boot to CWM recovery, use adb or flash a simple script to remove some junk and carry on as normal.
However, if I was in your position I would just stick to an unbranded ROM if the provider is filling it full of junk.
My english is really bad so... In Italy we have not the i9100p unbranded... I've not used any script to clear the junks because I've not found any that was suitable for my use. I also have not the capacity to modify it for my personal needs. My solution is a workaround, I admit, but it works fine and the payment for Mobile Odin Pro from Chainfire has not been a problem.
Ok, it seems not all solutions are welcome here if they seem strange solutions.
Btw, it worked for me and till I wanted the stock rom.

This could be very interesting for Italian users who want to de-brand their Gt-I9100P branded by TIM carrier (like mine).
Which firmware are you using? Do you think it is an international, multi-language version? We could use this firmware as a base for rooting and de-branding, instead of LP7 version that seems not to work in NFC devices.
Sorry for the delay but I've been very busy.
The italian rom is multilingual too as usual but my guide is not for debrand: the TIM version will remain after the root.
The problem with the TIM operator brand is that system folder is fully charged and there's no space to place the superuser apk. In this case you can succesfully use my guide, else you don't need it.
The firmware is:
BaseBand: i9100pXXLPB
Kernel: i9100pXXLPF
Build: IML74K.XXLPF
Tomorrow the guide will be posted in english, sorry for this delay too.

Hey guys,
I got my Hero not to long ago and realized that it has no Marketplace. I worked out that this is because the device is from South East Asia and the marketplace is unavailable. I am running 2.73.728 (typo in the title)
How can I root my device and get the Marketplace? I've tried the Unlockr's method but when using Flashrec I get an error (Backup FAILED: Image is invalid.)
If someone could point me in the right direction, and perhaps explain how I could successfuly root my phone, it would be much appreciated.
I'm quite new to HTC and am unclear on how this all works.
Thanks guys.
You will need to downgrade to flash the recovery image
I have a South East Asian device as well, although mine is the Singaporean one which came with the Market app installed. The instructions here let me downgrade to 2.73.405.5, which let me root the phone.
I've since installed MoDaCo's custom ROM on there, but if you just want to run the stock software with root, those instructions are the way to go. (Of course, you can choose to flash any ROM after following them... it's entirely up to you.)
Thanks for that. Turned out that I just had to download the same ROM from the official site, install that, flashrec and follow the instructions.
I think the main problem was that it couldn't make a back up, and I wasn't going to root it without a backup.
Try to follow the instruction from below link

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Android as well, and just like Motleymoo I'm trying to root my Hero, but before that I want to backup my original before flashing. I read instructions on many forums out there and of course everything I could find here on XDA as well but so far no way. It seems this is due to later Build Number after 2.73.4... with further protections from HTC. Couldn't find anything to backup from this build before flashing so far. Any suggestions out there?
Btw, my device is SE Asia as well, bought in Hong Kong a week ago.

Hi,
there's a new upgrade for orange tattoos but i can't download it. Someone can test it and confirm what all people think??

Any Orange Tattoo users out there willing to share this ROM?
the link is

But we need the S\N from one of the Orange Branded Tattoo's. You can't download it otherwise.
Ok... just to show that there is no problem sending the s/n.
If yoy try HT99PLG01xxx with xxxx = 0-9 and play a little with
numbers you can find a lot of compinations where the result is
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
but the s/n is for tattoo. Just one from orange give as how the
pattern look like.
segway
I don't want someone's S\N but at least someone from the uk download it and put it on megaupload or rapidshare.
Maybe its difficult for someone to upload it to some server...
To give us a patttern is just 1 minute job...

HT99PLG01xxx is only 999 phones... im sure there is more in uk

3) Applied UNLOCK code bought from Orange UK which worked fine with new ROM
4) Rolled back nandroid backup
I am happy now.
Did not notice anything new, again Google Apps was not there again. Now thinking about Paul's ROM.
Hi,
I've just updated my Legend to the 2.03.403 version. So far i noticed that there's a new version of the quickoffice, improved performance and battery. Most Important multi-touch (pinch zoom)for Google maps!Has anybody figured out any new / additional feature beside what i mentioned ?
Without a garantueed method to root this update or a pre-rooted version I won't touch this even with a ten-foot pole.
Just convert your sdcard into goldcard. That's it. Launch the official RUU file...install it... and you're ready!
No, I was not talking about "How can I do this" but about the implications of that update.
There is no root-version of it for now, or is there?
The version is unrooted. Nothing will be rooted. You're using an original version with no changes... should be totally fine.
If you flash this to your rooted phone, you loose the rooting..
I didn't have rooted it. Just goldcard. And yes you loose the root.
this new firmare is out from today? WHere can I read my firmware version to check what version I have?

No OTA for now, you have to flash this like a normal rom, but you might need a Goldcard.
So:
Create Goldcard (It's somewhere on this forum)
Put the Goldcard in your phone
Turn on the phone
Connect your phone to your pc
Run the RUU from your pc and follow the steps
It should flash the new rom, but remember that you'll loose root!
If you haven't rooted, there is no problem
One change I've noticed is that I can now use the map background from Terra Time - it would not work before.
Now that I have installed this update does it mean that I can no longer root my phone?
Another change - I can now open up the full youtube site when tethered instead of getting palmed off to the mobile site.

It has Russian keyboard, but it is hidden (at least, on my phone).

Is there swedish language included in this?
Is this ROM have English lang available on it? I bought my legend from india (1.32).
Will i be able to get OTA updates from HTC after flashing this ROM? I guess i ll also lose my warranty?
Please tell me as i want to flash this ROM desparately.
Hi Guys,
I unfortunately ****ed my Galaxy y pro, so i had to reflash it via odin but i flash it some strange rom. Now i would like to reflash it with the original one which is also more recent then this one, unfortunately kies is not allowing me to do so. So i need to apply some workarounds and for that i need the original details.
So guys can you please provide me with the PDA/PHONE/CSC for the Czech or at least some western european rom details?
You can acquire the details by entering *#1234# in phone, this will enter the service mode and show the
PDA
PHONE
CSC
Can you post this information?
After that can you please enter *#272*YOURIMEI#
this will write down the PC code can you please post this information also?
Hopefully i will be able to find the latest original rom via ?Check Fus with your details,
thank you very much!

but so far I'm using one netherlands rom and it runs fine - only few minor problem which i was also experiencing in the begining when i bought the phone - sd card disconnects and no network but both this issues occurred just once
So maybe at the end I will just stick with the Netherlands ROM, cos anyway it looks completly like the one which I had before with new gui for picking up the calls.

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??
1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to
https://au-cs0.kddi.com/FtHome
http://nw-restriction.nttdocomo.co.jp/search.php
https://ct11.my.softbank.jp/WBF/icv...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79683988
3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○ then no problem, if the result is △ There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is × - the phone is already blocked.
