How do i debrand my o2 uk HD7
basically want a standard wp7 without all the o2 junk and there cheap yahoo search on IE lol
Hi mate, was on o2 UK branded ROM myself. Followed THIS THREAD and it worked a treat.
thanks very much for that
are you on nodo or mango?
No probs mate
I'm on Mango, if you're after putting Mango on as well you need to ensure your device is unlocked, meaning unlock it (via Chevron Unlock App) on a pre-Nodo Rom: either ROM version 7004 or 7008 (i think the initial thread i gave you puts you on a debranded 7008 ROM, so you could unlock it at that point before updating to NoDo via Zune), apply the Provxml that keeps the phone unlocked when you update to NoDo, then Download the files from THIS POST (the MegaUpload ones) and follow THIS THREAD
*EDIT* Apparently if you update to Mango that way you don't need your device to be unlocked, but i can't confirm as mine was already unlocked anyway
*EDIT 2* Sorry forgot to mention if you're going to update to Mango i'd always advise you take a full manual backup of the phone. THIS THREAD contains everything you'd need to back it up
thanks again that maybe my mini job for weekend - im starting to like WP7 over droid now lol

1) No
2) Flash an official NoDo rom to be up to date with OS, Radio & Bootloader
3) You need to know if your phone is brandet & the region (T-Mobile, O2, Europe, Asian,...)
4) original RUU's contains the whole SW for the phone (radio, bootloader, os,...)
5) for flashing go into the bootloader menu by switch of your ohone & restart it with pressed volume down key.
Zune is needed for drivers & ActiveSync (WinXP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista, Win7) for drivers in Bootloader
With Zune you also get offitial updates (os, radio, Bootloader,...)
6) you need the chevron unlock to sidload apps (only possible on 7004 & 7008)
7) costum roms only if your device is supported by cotullas xspl (see sticky)
8) see point 6
9) ansars rom is the only costum rom which can be updated via zune
There are also 2 DFT costum roms but with these you can not update any further
8) ?!? you mean 10 ==> you do not need 7004 or 7008 to unlock the rom
after unlocking you need less time to come to the latest os version via zune
9) ?!? you mean 11 ==> if your phone is supported by xspl than flash HSPL (Bootloader) to your phone and you be able to flash costum rom's (for radio, os,...)
Chevron unlock is only needed for roms that are not allready unlocked (like custom roms are)
i also have a question:
I have zune and windows mobile device center loaded on my Windows 7 desktop, but wmdc will never recognize my hd7, what can i do because it never works when i try to use the ruu
Windows Mobile Device Center is only for drivers in Bootloader mode
If you shut down your phone and restart it while pressing (and hold) the volume down button, you will enter the bootloader mode.
There are a few informations on that screen
This are the information of my bootloader:
PD29100 SS-BC (4k)
HSPL3.1.2250.0(119314)
CotullaHSPL 0x07
Touch S1(v1.8,#1624)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-v211v413
Serial
at the bottom ther will be a text called serial.
if you have connected your device to your computer & installer Windows Mobile Device Center the text will change to USB after the the drivers are correctly installed.
If USB is displayed on your phone you can start flashing a rom by starting the RUU on the PC
These are normal questions, so I decided to report that post to move it to Questions/Answers
moved to general
no my phone is not a branded one, ie no tmob etc. so which firmware i should use, as i am from india, can i use generic asia? or any unbranded one as long as it contains eng lang?, coz i use english only and dont need any other languages.
but still i have doubt.
what is the use of a gold card( i downgraded my hboot of wildfire using gold card, so i dont mean use of gold card, but how do it work in flashing htc hd7) , also do i need it to flash any ruu or custom rom?
you said, as reply for my 6th question,
'you need the chevron unlock to sidload apps (only possible on 7004 & 7008)'
so what do u mean by 7004 and 7008? is it updates or some thing else? i know there are 7720 mango for hd7 flying around, so is it official or a leaked one? does chevron work in it? or can i hack it by any method, so that i can slidload more than 10 app?
and what is the latest custom rom with no sidload limit? can i get a 7720 mango custom rom?
can i get the drivers only? i dont want the whole zune and active sinc
you do not need to flash anything!
Install Zune and update your OS via it to NoDo version.
If you want to unlock you phone (jailbreak, not simunlock) than you have to use the chevron unlock process bevor you update via zune
your phone haf to be un os version 7.0.7004 or at least 7.0.7008 with newer os Versions you can not use chevron anymore.
as I think you have a normal european HD7:
Firmware revision number:2250.09.16001.401
so if you want to flash you have to look for original European roms
if you want to flash other roms (other regions or costum roms) you can use xspl or goldcard
xspl is a new hacked bootloader wich has the ability to flash every HD7 rom you like.
goldcard is a methode which could bypass the CID/MID check like xspl does but you need aditional components for that (y-cable, goldcard,...)
you are right when we talk about versions or build numbers, we take about the os version 7.x.xxxx
WP7 start with build 7004
Nodo have build 7390
Mango RTM has build 7720 not official available via zune
conclusion:
if you want to sidload apps you have to unlock you phone as long as it runs on 7004 or 7008
ansar post a guidline how to update without loosing the chevron unlock see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
for getting mango RTM on the phone read this thread, it's tricky but possible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149265
but beware if you do not combine it with the guidline from ansar, you will loose your chevron unlock (dev-unlock)
If you are not afraid of flashing roms, start with xspl (simplest methode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
than flash ansars costum 1.69 rom (unlocked NoDo rom)
http://rapidshare.com/files/1043958...4.09.21_22.33b.50.10_NoDo_custom_by_ansar.zip
and than start to update to the unofficial Mango RTM like the guidlines above.
I don't know if you can extract the drivers from Windows Mobile Device Center, but Zune is necessarry for updating.
Oh no, once again I got stuck, all things I have installed in my win7 ultimate lap, such as zune 4.8,wmdc etc, and I am able to hspl my device, and in normal mode my lap detects it as a win7 mobile, but still zune can't detect it. So no chevron!!! What is the problem, I tried multiple install-uninstallations, but no luck, help me to do it, pls

I was wondering if all the updates for mango are done. I updated the mango 7720 RTM when it first came out. I have not received the official update from tmobile. I tried zune and windows phone on my mac and it says I am up to date.
os 7.10.7720.68
hrv 0002
software says 7.5
I do not think its to official update because I try to use connected media and it says my device not supported.
Did they not get to everybody yet or do I have to downgrade to nodo..

the Mango RTM is, in fact, the actual Mango release available OTA.
though, it is missing the updated HTC OEM drivers.
the updated OEM drivers for Europe can be found, here.
else, you will need to reflash your device. ROMs can be found, here.
I am using HSPL 3 and ansar new tech rom running Mango 7.10.8107.79 on HD7 total unlock yet native does not work nor do root tools or ansar u2m provisioning advanced config touch explorer etc also provisioning blocked
If I use [SLSPL]HD7 HTC_Europe Stock Limited SPL ROM to downgrade >=5.10.x Bootloader by ansar how can i downgrade spl and to which spl for newtech rom to run these broken programs and provisioning?
Or is there a better way pref not wiping device?
link to ROM thread, please.
