I've flashed Miri's ROM using USPL method so now SPL on my phone is 1.54. However, now I want to update my Radio as well to 1.10.
What I need to know is that do I need to do the same steps again which I did to USPL to 1.54 and then run CustomRUU file? Or is there another way to do it?
Also, when I go to bootloader mode, I see SPL as 1.54 but Serial doesn't change to USB.

You have to flash the radio rom in the same way you flashed your main rom.
Start in bootloader mode, connect to usb, run uspl and flash the rom using the CustomRUU tool.
If on your display it shows serial, you should look if you don't have a problem with your (Windows) drivers.

That brings me to my next question which I believe is slightly daft: Does flashing the radio affect the ROM in any way or it simply flashes the radio & thats that?

Radio only.
In a stock rom you find them both. Most of the chefs don’t add the radio part to their roms, then your radio rom you had, stays unchanged.
Flashing roms and radio's are separate unless a chef includes a radio in his/her rom. Flashing a radio will not affect your rom and vice versa. Both are flashed by using same method, i.e. either using USPL or HSPL

Hi all, i sucessfully changed to USPL, everything went well. I updated drivers and all that and successfully flashed Dutty's latest ship rom. Problem is i'm trying to upgrade my radio, but the screen stays @ 0% and then goes into recovery mode. Is this because of the USPL? Sorry if this has been asked be4!
Flash your radio as the way you flash your rom ~
trsut me this isnt my first time flashing. Since i installed USPL, it just hangs @ 0%.

If you have Dutty's latest rom loaded now that means you are running the stock SPL (version 1.54.0000). This means your phone is not unlocked and you cannot flash radios or unsigned/cooked roms without running USPL. You have to remember USPL is temporary, it is not like HSPL. It does not modify the SPL on your device. Each time you want to flash a radio or a custom rom you need to run USPL to temporarily unlock your device, just as you did when you loaded Dutty's latest rom.

are you using a WM 6.5 ROM? and, did you flash HardSPL (1.56 OliNex) to your device before flashing? not being able to turn the phone on with "every ROM you flashed" suggests that you have the wrong SPL (e.g., have not used HardSPL or USPL to prep your device before flashing).
I had used Hardslp 1.56 before flashing
I'm assuming from above post that HSPL 1.56 was successfully flashed then? Did you check SPL?
You can find rilphone for each radio in radio thread (which is where you should have posted your query!)
Please post further queries in that thread

Please do not start new threads for questions that are best treated in the threads specifically dealing with flashing. There are specific threads for HSPL, USPL and a Tutorial discussing and explaining both.
An official spl will not work (unless it is 1.54.0000) but you will still need to use USPL in that case to keep the spl. That being said however, AFAIK the spl will not have any performance related enhancements to the device unless of course you have the wrong one, in which case the performance will be negatively affected.
You have the choice of either using HSPL or USPL for flashing new roms. As you have chosen HSPL this permanently replaces the standard spl (it can be reversed though).
With USPL, the way I understand it (have not tried it myself as I use HSPL), you first upgrade to an official spl - 1.54.0000, and then using UPSL this allows you to "crack" the standard spl to flash a new rom and each time you flash you need to repeat the process.
The difference between USPL and HSPL:
* HSPL is an user-modified SPL that you have to flash to your phone. It overwrites the existing SPL on your device with a "hacked" one so to say. It allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone. You only have to flash it once and then you can flash roms anytime.
* USPL is a temporary solution. It takes advantage of an exploit in the existing SPL and then loads a modified one to memory, effectively allowing the same thing as HSPL. However, since this is only memory-resident you have to do it each time you want to flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone, because this exploited state is lost upon reboot. With USPL you must still have the right version of the HTC SPL that is compatible with the rom you want to use.

Hello, new to 'hacking' the WP7 but i want to flash a custom dev unlocked ROM to my phone, but i want to make sure i dont use the wrong ROM, so i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction?
I have a HD7 (T Mobile unlocked, US model, i'm in the UK if that makes a difference, also using o2)
It's currently running the official mango by the disconnect internet trick in zune.
Thanks in advance!

any Schubert ROM will flash successfully to your HD7 with RSPL or HSPL installed.
with that said...
is either RSPL or HSPL installed?
if not... you will need to get that. DFT's RSPL/HSPL.
and here is a little how-to if you have the wrong SPL. see steps 2 and 8.
after that,
any ROM in the HD7 WP7 Development thread should flash fine.

Thats great thanks! just a few questions for you..
RSPL or HSPL? (sorry new to this ^^")
So if i install a nodo ROM (considering i'm currently on Mango) will it just roll back with no problems?
do i need to do anything specific with these ROMS that have different radio software versions? or can i just ignore them?
I'm trusting if i use the backup tool i can restore my text messages etc again, i dont really feel loosing them. :/

RSPL is, basically, a temporary SPL, which returns to OSPL (stock SPL) after reset.
HSPL is 'permanent' until you flash another SPL or return to stock.
both allow you to flash a custom ROM.
if you flash a RUU_Signed.nbh from a NoDo ROM it will 'roll back' fine, but will erase all data currently on the device.
but if you just flash the SPL_Signed.nbh from a NoDo ROM, it will only flash the Radio and SPL. i recommend task00 to flash this.
unfortunately, through Zune, SMS doesn't get backed-up.

I've managed to roll my phone back using the zune software, i didnt know that was a option, so now it's back to NODO but with the problem of my SPL is set to v4.5 and the link you sent me here takes the SPL to 4.05 if i'm reading it right.. but DFT RSPL only goes up to 3.4... so have i hit a dead end completely? :S

nope. not a dead end.
quickest fix.
01. visit HD7 Radio Wiki, link in my signature.
02. download a stock NoDo or Pre-NoDo Radio for your device.
03. extract the SPL_Signed.nbh from the 'stock' folder.
04. flash SPL_Signed.nbh with task 00.
05. SPL has now been rolled back.
from there...
06. flash RSPL.
07. flash HSPL, if desired.
08. flash newer Radio, if desired, using RUU_Unsigned.nbh from desired Radio.
09. flash Custom ROM of choice.

i unfortunately don't know.
best bet, is to ask the question on that thread.
i haven't ever tried using it to back up my device.
actually, i haven't ever backed up my device before.
too busy constantly flashing and testing my intrinsicROM.

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.
