Guest afhstingray Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, my touch HD was stolen, and orange sent me a replacement thru orange care insurance. the weird thing is, while it has the orange logo on the back cover, i seem to have the WWE rom, even the startup screen has the HTC logo, not the orange one. google maps was installed, and i dont see any sign of orange specific stuff which was present on my first touch HD. should i report this?

Guest jonajuna Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 hell no, from what i can see the orange rom is pants, be thankful you have an unbranded one or flash it to a decent cooked rom and really see your tHD fly :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest afhstingray Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) well yea, it dosent make a lot of difference to me, because i prefer this rom anyway. but im wondering if i have an older rom or something. "When orange first got the HD back in november08 wave 1 they shipped so fast that the only branding was an orange logo on the back and all sold out in 3 weeks. By the time wave 2 was shipped in jan 09 they had mostly replaced the roms with orange branding. yours looks like one left over fronm wave 1, perhaps one sent back for a refund or something! in my opinion wave 1 roms were better as unbranded! hope that helps." got this response on a different forum.... and i checked my build date in the serial number.... my old one was built in week 53 of 2008, this one was built in week 45. i guess i got an old stock. i hope it dosent have any hardware problems or anything are the cooked roms really that good? im sceptical about using them since its my primary phone. when i used various cooked roms on my old M5000 they had various quirks that were sometimes annoying. am i using the latest rom? what version is the orange rom you have? my details are: ROM Version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE ROM Date: 10/24/08 Radio Version: 1.09.25.14 Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26u im waiting for an official HTC wm6.5 rom :( Edited February 21, 2009 by afhstingray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest squirreleater Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) I also had my HD replaced when the speaker went on it, mine also starts up with the HTC logo etc and i can't find any orange related branding on the software. So yes, sounds like they sent out the warranty phones without orange roms :( I'm a little scared to flash my phone, got it working nice now- unlike my old K850i that i couldn't wait to flash it was so bad! Any pointers on flashing the HD? Is it something a relative winmo novice can do? Ta, Edited February 22, 2009 by squirreleater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Acelister Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I know this is an old topic, but for anyone still wondering, the older rom will have been on Care stock. Those have probably been worked through by now though. A much better rom... I dunno why HTC let Orange change things in the software... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
