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 have HTC HD7 with Windows 7.
While updating phone using ZUNE, the update has interrupter. and now my phone is not starting. it struk up at the boot scree (white background with HTC logo, the very first screen when we start the phone)
So, can I restore it ? What should I do now ?
What kind of HD7 is it? (Europe-, T-Mobile-, O2-,... Version)
If possible you can flash a orginal rom that suits your ID, or flash hspl & one of the roms of the HD7 development section

I'm not sure about it. That mobile can be from Australia or London*, its not working with Indian sim card So i was on try to make it working and failed at update, but when it was booting it have the logo O2 which you have listed.
So can say its O2 ?
So if you want to play a little bit with it, we have a few possibilities.
First if its really a O2 phone try this rom:
latest O2 rom
If it works, you have an original NoDo rom installed.
If not, or you want more freedom at you phone do the following:
shut down the phone (e.g. remove battery & reinsert it in the phone)
start the phone & hold the volume down key to enter RUU
Check if the Text at the upper left is mentioned in this thread.
HSPL
e.g. PD29100 is mine, wich works
if yes download an install the xspl from the link and you will get the possibility to flash a HD7 rom you like
for information to flash xspl on your phone you need ActiveSync (WinXP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista & Win7)
if your PD number isn't supported at the moment, we need to talk again.

Thanks alot, the link you gave me of O2 worked like a charm . Thanks a million for spending your time for issue
Yes, the link you gave worked and i have flashed that new O2 rom with some restarts. Now every thing seems to be ok, but I have lost all my pics (not a prob)
But, as it belong to UK O2 it is not allowing me to use Indian sim card. can I have solution for this ? Will it work if I flash Asia ROM on my phone now ?
If not what could be the solution ? As you have asked me the Number which starts with PD
Her is what it shows on the boot (red) screen
PD29100 SS-BC (4k)
SPL-3.4.2250.0 (121027)
MicroP(LED) 0x07
Touch S1(v1.8,#1624)
Thanks again for your help, you made my day
Thanks and regards > code3h
Sorry, I forgot to inform you that flashing operations always perform an reset of the device.
Only the update process by zune prevent you from loosing you data & settings.
(and the new costum RUU's for Radio,... flashing)
with your PD29100 you can also use xspl by cotulla (see link)
with that you can flash also costum roms & every original HD7 rom you like to test.
We always taked about rom flashing and CID unlocking (xspl) to flash different roms.
sim unlocking is completely seperated from that.
to use other sim cards than the o2 (becaus it seems that you phone is o2 sim locked) you have to search the web for a service who can generate you a unlock code or go to the next phone shop that can sim unlock HTC devices.
sim unlocking costs money (at the moment) because there is no tool for that yet that can genaerate such codes for your HD7
Dear friends,
2 days ago, i tried my hd7 to update official Mango (posted from football) from NoDo. But update is not complated and my phone is still stay in Bootloader Screen. Everythings looking fine in Bootloader screen :
RED:
PD29100 SS-BC (4K)
SPL-4.5.2250.0 (129185) MNG
MicroP(LED) 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
GREEN:
SD SANDISK 15193MB
Partition Info-v211v413
BLUE:
Empty
WHITE:
Serial - USB (After plug cable)
But, when I try flash a ROM, Update Utility saying : Error 264: Invalid Vendor ID and my phone is going back to Bootloader Screen.
Before Update:
My device is not haved RSPL/HSPL.
Working with official stock rom (updated to 7403 via Zune)
Not installed Chevron Unlock
I tried to flash all official stock ROM :
RUU Schubert HTC Europa 1.16.401.01
RUU Schubert HTC Europa 1.69.401.01
RUU Schubert S HTC 4.05.401.02
After tried many ways and methods, I was angry and i tried RSPL/HSPL to Mango SPL (4.XXX) but RSPL/HSPL not worked on my phone (Error: USB Device Not Detected)
Now:
Bootloader Screen looking fine.
I tried to flash all official ROMs from HTC.
Never Installed HSPL/RSPL to phone
I installed official rom before via Rom Update Utility, but phone haved SPL 3.XXX
My phone is stiil wait in boot screen. Not openning OSX.
My Phone is HD 7 Unbranded - Sim Free
any solutions?
(Im so sorry for my bad English)
Thanks...
Are you completely sure you have an Europe HD7?
Did you ever flash an original rom before?
actually im not sure my friend. but i was upload a europan flash to my phone before (RUU_7403).im trying asian now.
I hope for you that asian roms will work.
The only solution I which can work if other original roms also fail is to get the eqipment to flash via gold card methode.
But I hope asian roms will work
thank you sadman but i tried 2 asian roms but not worked. i cant believe this. Resuming error 294 Invalid Vender ID...
So lets say you really have an european HD7
When you flash an old rom (Standard or NoDo) did the flashing tool try to flash or does it fail imidietly?
If you flash old rom's the phone is rebooting after flashing spl & than continues flashing the rest.
maybe by trying older roms, spl is flashed but the os fails like the Mango spl which you mentioned in the first post.
If the bootloader doesn't show the spl version 4.xx you have the chance to try RSPL/HSPL and flash a good/old rom
yes bro, i have european HD 7. after the trying Mango update, SPL is changed to 4.5 from 3.1 and probem started with Mango Update. i need to change SPL, i know, but RSPL/HSPL is not working with this SPL. Phone driver is "Qualdcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" in bootloader mode and showing under Mobile Devices -> HTC Sync in Device Manager.
Edit:
Dear friends. Problem is solved !? i was try RSPL to SPL 4.5 (very dangerous), tool is say a error "not complated". And now, stock rom is openned automatically? i dont understand anything.But phone is half bricked.Now, not showing anything in Bootloader screen.Red-Green-Blue and White is empty.

this thread is two months old, besides...
as redzippo said, (s)he has a half-bricked device.
in which case, flashing a Shipped ROM will not solve this issue.
hell i have the same problem! anyone have the solution??i tried like 10 different roms and none worked...if i try to flash with RUU wrapper in one case i get to 1% flash,and in other 3% flash and then the error invalid vender id...
Dear All,
I'm very new to flashing roms on Win Phone devices.
I have a HTC HD7 with SPL-5.11.2250.0 and would like to fully unlock/root my device so I can install any xap file I want.
I tried several exe files. first RUU_Schubert_HTC_EUrope..... and then with the DFT_RSPL/HSPL executables. Nothing worked so far, but I noticed that when booting up the phone with the volume-down button to get into the bootloader, this bootloader doesn't show me the connection mode anymore (serial or usb). Have I broken the bootloader somehow?
Problem is that nothing I'd like to do works. After having had the wrong RUU_Schubert....exe files I finally think I have found the right one for my system: RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
But the problem is still that the setup program cannot connect to my phone: ERROR [260] ; Connection
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... What really makes me wonder is that the connection mode isn't displayed in bootloader anymore (previously it was always stated serial or usb, now it's just an empty white rectangle^^)
Anyone knows about that ?
Thanks alot!
Cheers, Oli
yours is SPL 5.11 , it cannot be flashed or downgraded by software methods which is why nothing u do is working
And yes i think u have also bricked yr bootloader in the process of trying different methods , most likely u choose the wrong DFT RSPL/HSPL version to flash
Using DFT HSPL/RSPL on original 4xxx and above SPL will brick it.
u need to use goldcard , y cable method to downgrade it to a version of spl that is 3xxx and below
SO now yr situation is that u have a bricked phone .
Meaning I cannot even do the goldcard trick as I do not have an sd card slot on my phone?

Yeah you can use the goldcard method. In fact you can typically repair a damaged/bricked bootloader with the goldcard method too. Luckily since only the serial/USB portion in BL mode is missing, the bootloader isn't damaged very seriously.
Use the goldcard method and flash a stock/shipped rom for your devices specific carrier. This should repair the bootloader and should also downgrade your spl and OS version as well, depending on what rom version you flash. At this point you can update through Zune to the current OS version. Then if you wanted to, you could use your goldcard to downgrade the spl and install rspl/hspl and flash a custom rom! Here's Shadows tutorial on how to downgrade spl, this will give you a background on how the process work and links to all the shipped/stock roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1295068
This gives a good view and idea on how to make the cable:

To unlock your device you have to downgrade your SPL to at or below 3.xxx and then install RSPL/HSPL and then you can flash a custom rom of your choice.
These are the only methods to downgrade your SPL -
1. Goldcard/ Y cable method - requires a Y cable, either home made or purchased. SD card and a card reader or a flash drive and download a goldcard tool and a stock/shipped Pre-NoDo/NoDo specific rom.
2. Zune restore point by Zubair- if you updated your device from a Pre-Mango state through Zune and still have the PC you did it on, then you can restore your device and then re-update it to Mango again and it will change your SPL to 4.xxx then you can use Shadows tutorial to finish downgrading the device.
3. SLSPL rom by Ansar - This works on Europe devices with firmware revision number .401 and can work on SIM unlocked TMobile devices.
Just follow Shadow's tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing roms. It has all the links for the above methods, stock/shipped roms and everything you'll need.

Hi All,
I need your help in deciding what are my options.
I have read many posts and ended up confused (no offence meant) because of my situation.
Some posts that are similar are too old as my condition has changed since then.
I will try to give as much info before asking, so here it goes:
System Info-
Model: HTC HD7 T9292 from T-Mobile
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
OS Version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51101.206
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.12.0.D4
Bootloader Version: 5.11.2250.0(134400)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
History:
I installed some custom rom last year. Now, when the phone starts, I see O2 Welcome message. I think I have a official ROM as per that splash of O2.
Issues:
Lately, the cellular reception has drastically deteriorated.
GPS does not show accurate location and takes a few tries of opening the Locations app and pressing the locate me option.
Unable to find an awesome solution as a GPS app, as i can't afford to use data all the time, it costs a lot in New Zealand.
Question:
- I want to know if I can make my WP7 experience any better or its too late as i updated my phone to Mango.
- Can someone please take time to go through and just post the links to the steps that I can perform without damaging anything.
- I want to be able to install apps, XAP's, make changes to improve performance and better radio for reception.
I have seen posts on threads, but still confused which are the right steps to be followed as everyone's phone, updates installed, ROM's installed are different. I deeply acknowledge everyone's hardwork, and time spent to read and make posts, and apologize if i am being duplicative, but just looking for right info and steps that would make things understandable for me.
Many Thanks,
you may use the Goldcard method to revert back to another ROM. e.g. TMOUS Shipped ROM

Sure, I can revert, but want to know if I revert to the shipped ROM, what process do I follow from there on to get a custom ROM e.g. deepshining, and will that also allow me to sideload apps (xap installs).

see the tutorial I wrote, link in my signature.
and yes, all the Schubert Custom ROMs have at least Dev Unlock, whic allows XAP sideloading.

Thanks a lot for the Info.
I saw the links, just want to confirm i am heading right.
I would follow the process and install the Pre-NoDo ROM as below:
TMOUS 1.54.531.02 HTC HD7 7.0.7004.0 2250.09.15402.531
After flashing this ROM on, I can flash it to the custom ROM from deepshining, which would include the latest radio too. (please add on any suggestions you have on the version so that I choose the right one)
By doing this, I would have the latest WP7 version, latest radio, and ability to install .xap files.
As soon as you confirm, I will complete the said tasks and update with the results.
PS: Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere.
Thank You for being a great help
after Goldcard method, you need to XSPL before flashing a Custom ROM.
Thanks for the info.
Would I have to do the XSPL or HSPL.
Also want your suggestions on the radio, if i should install it seperate or does the deepshining Rom include a good radio already.
I will make a Y cable and follow the Goldcard method. Can't we use a SDHC card for doing the goldcard?
XSPL = RSPL and HSPL
RSPL is reloaded SPL. Meaning that it's not permanently flashed to the device and will reset to OSPL (original SPL) after you flash the rom or if the device is rebooted.
HSPL is hard SPL. Meaning that it is permanently flashed to the device, replaces OSPL and will stay after flashing a rom.
If you only install RSPL, everytime you flash a new rom or a updated rom version you will have to put the device into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC and reinstall RSPL to the device and while it's still in bootloader mode, flash the new or updated rom version.
If you install HSPL to the device and want to install a new or updated rom version, you just have to put the device into bootloader mode and connect to the PC and flash the new/updated rom version. You don't have to do a reinstall. HSPL is much easier and can still be returned to OSPL if needed to be.
To install XSPL - First you need to install RSPL to the device. Put the device into bootloader mode and connect to the PC (wait and allow it to install the Qualcomm drivers) open and run the RSPL wizard, choose the closest RSPL version to your devices SPL version (eg. If SPL version is 1.10 and the closest RSPL version is 1.12 choose that version) and install RSPL to the device, once RSPL is successfully installed make sure that the SPL on the bootloader screen changes from SPL to RSPL, and if you want to install HSPL, keep the device connected, close the RSPL wizard and open and run the HSPL wizard, choose the closest HSPL version to the devices RSPL version and install. Once HSPL is successfully installed make sure that the RSPL on the bootloader screen changes from RSPL to HSPL. Keep the device connected and close the HSPL wizard, open the custom rom file and double click on the ruuwrapper (rom update utility wrapper) follow the prompts on the screen, flash the rom to the device and enjoy.
If you're not gonna install HSPL, once the RSPL is successfully installed keep the device connected to the PC, close the RSPL wizard and open the custom rom file and double click on the ruuwrapper and follow the prompts on the screen and flash the rom to the device.
Most custom roms have a recommended radio version and are included in the rom and will be installed when flashing the rom. Deepshining has one packaged with it.
SDHC cards will work... Make sure it's a 1gb - 2gb SD card and formatted to FAT32. Larger SD cards can work but need to be partitioned down to 1gb.
