Japanese Rom on SoftBank X01HT

[henry_y_leung]

Hello all,

I am a newbie, and wanna try this phone in HK... but they all flash with Chinese rom, just wondering if I can flash it with the latest softbank rom, just posting indicates that it will upgrade the bootloader to 1.09, which will lock the phone. Can someone give me advice before I buy it?

Thanks a lot.

I dont really understand.

Using the Softbank rom, the phone will be simlocked and the radio stack will be read only. Also bootloader will be 1.09.
If you dont live in Japan, there is no need to use this rom. For HK you can settle for most roms that wont lock your phone in this manner. Softbank is really tough there, because of the different market strategy carriers use in Japan.

Call me ignorant. But why do you wanna change the rom to Japanese, living in HK?
