Guest Bertles Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Hi folks, Just acquired a T-Mobile Touch G2 which I believe is an HTC Hero GSM? I've replaced the screen, got it booted and it had the security pattern on it (bought on eBay typical!). Did a hard reset, all good, just waiting on a free T-Mobile sim to access apps and the home screen. At that point I want to: (a). Debrand it completely and have the stock HTC ROM (b.) Unlock it to other UK network providers (specifically Tesco/O2/Orange) For (a) I have downloaded the "update-hero-generic-2.73.405.66-signed.zip" ROM, is this the latest and will it debrand the phone removing the T-Mobile crap? Is there a walkthrough for doing this anywhere? Do I need any apps for my XP machine? For (b.) I'm guessing a ROM won't remove service provider locks, and I'll need to buy a code? Would eBay be the cheapest place for this? Thanks for any help at all, and don't hold back I'm not a numpty (I'm actually a software dev!) just a noob to the Android world...

Guest ptruman Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Any help at all, just point me in the right direction please folks? Do a forum search - there are several how to threads on unlocking and re-flashing ;) (I wrote one, there's a search clue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
