Noob Question

Ok I need help. I just picked up a second-hand wizard from someone who claims to have done all the unlocking and has flashed it to WM6 Professional. On the bootup screen it shows:
IPL 2.16
SPL 2.16
GSM 02.19.11
OS 11.0.0.1
What I want to know is how I can install the TouchFlo w/ cube Rom as I find that more intuitive than what I am currently using. What would I need to download, upgrade/downgrade to get this running from start to finish.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Which is the present Rom installed on it ? Which wm6 is it ?
this is what it reads in the about
CE OS 5.2.1933 (build 18533.0.7.0)TNT
from the threads im reading, some say i need to flash to an official rom, then downgrade to 1.x then upgrade to 2.26 and then flash to whatever rom i want. is that right?

As you are already running wm6 TNT series Rom,it means your phone is already SIM/CID unlocked,there's no need to downgrade to 1.xx to unlock and then upgrade to 2.xx and flash any wm6 rom.
Yes ! its highly recommended,if you want to change to any other Rom,first flash the T-mobile 2.26 to provide you a good base,but its not necessary,you can download any wm6 or wm6.1 rom and just connect the phone with pc via usb cable and flash the rom.
You can try the latest wm6.1 TNT.19199 series v.2 Rom,it has TouchFlo version also from this link :-

Can i reistall old i-mate rom after 6.1 ?!

Hello
Thank for all of you guys, I've converted to windows mobile 6.1 on k-jam.
I have downloaded i-mate offecial rom from i-mate site ... can i reinstall it ?? will I re-unlock CID on my device ?
Thankssssssss very much
Reverting back to official rom all depends on the DOC Chip version of the phone.If its a G3,there's no problem,yes! you can easily flash back to Official stock rom anytime you want,just hook up the phone with pc and run the RUU in the rom to start flashing.
Butmif its a G4,and you upgraded through 'SoftSPL',still there's no further procedure to reflash official rom,just hook up and run the Rom,coz,SoftSPL doesn't replace original official IPL/SPL of the phone.
Well,if you upgraded your G4 device through 'HardSPL',than,first you'll have to remove HardSPL,flash back to original official IPL/SPL,which were there at the time of applying HardSPL and only then its possible to revert back to official rom,Coz,HardSPL replaces the official IPL/SPL with patched IPL/SPL and if flashed the official rom,which has official IPL/SPL,will Brick the phone.
G3 device once CID unlocked will remain unlocked for all times,whether you revert back to official rom or not,Putting official rom again will not apply CID lock again.

is it possible to downgrade the bootloader (so as to downgrade firmware)?

i've upgraded to the 2.x firmware without realising that i can't run the RUU file to downgrade back to 1.3x anymore. (bootloader version error)
the reason for the downgrade is because i want the apac firmware back instead of the wwe.
thanks for advice!
i got the same problem.
can someone please help?
Same problem , want to downgrade my rom but there is bootloader version error.
someone please help...
HTc have designed the Legends bootloader so you can't downgrade it fellas.
Only thing I can recommend for those of you that have accidently installed the newer bootloader is to utilise the new WWE 2.03 ROM to unbrand your device - NO ROOTING AVAILABLE AS YET THOUGH

HTC HD7 - back to "official" ROM

Hey Guys.
I've been using the Deepshining ROM for the past lets say 8 months.
Right now I'd like to get back to the "official" one, they were called "STOCK" ones, right?
I haven't been into flashing and so on for the duration I mentioned above, so I'd appreciate any help.
Which one should I download, to get the newest official one?
How should I flash it?
Do I have to flash it using the tutorial?
Where can I download the orginal ROM?
yes make sure u use a stock rom that is nodo version and below and a bootloader which is supported under DFT RSPL/HSPL
if u flash any mango rom that have bootloaders 4.5 and above , yr device is "updated" and u cannot downgrade again.

Just one question, if I use a custom rom and I don't like it, with the goldcard method will the phone go back to the original SPL without RSPL/HSPL?
I want to know before trying a custom rom.

The goldcard method allows you to downgrade the devices SPL. Which needs to be at or below 3.xxx to install RSPL/HSPL.
After the SPL is downgraded then you install RSPL/HSPL. Which allows you to install a custom rom. The custom rom is flashed by entering the device into bootloader mode then connecting it to the PC and running the RUUwrapper provided with the rom.
If you install only RSPL and flash a custom rom the RSPL is reverted back to OSPL after the flash process. So then to flash a different/new rom you have to re-RSPL the device and then flash the rom.
If you install HSPL then you just have to put the device into bootloader mode and flash the new rom.
HSPL is much easier and can be reverted back to OSPL by installing a stock/shipped rom.

[Q] deepshinning is possible with 4.x SPL?

Hi,
I am newbie. sorry for that. It tells me that I need flas a NODO rom first to Downgrade SPL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271118
I have mango with 4.x version.
1) I think I need to downgrade to NODO first?
2) "flash a NODO Rom first to downgrade SPL" - does flashing Rom means downgrading also? or I need to flas first and then I can only downgrade to 3.x, 2.x, 1.x versions?
3) which SPL version I need exactly? as I know I can flash Rom with 4.x as well. It is not sufficient?
4) Shubert is for flashing or downgrading based on the version if question one is not same?
5) I am in Europe -Germany but I use DE_O2. which version I should use? DE_O2 means O2 branded phones or if I use O2 as provider only. because my card is O2 but phone is not O2 branded.
thanks for the answers.
There is a thread that explains the answer to most of your questions, I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
Also, the wiki helped me a lot too, so search HTC HD7 on that. I still haven't been able to flash mine (problems with the microsd card reader, maybe).

From what I understand, by downgrading your ROM to an early version, you also end up with a downgraded bootloader. The OLD bootloader is the only one that is capable of allowing you to flash a custom rom such as Deepshining. In order to downgrade the ROM, you need to create a goldcard or use a similar method (there is a method for European devices that apparently doesn't require you to use a Y-Cable/Goldcard, here is the thread on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904 but make sure you completely understand your options first).
Read the replies to see if anyone else had experiences with DE_O2.
