Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!
You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

okay this is what ive been trying to do. i understand the instructions. but i cant locate the 7008 or 7004 rom. preferably 7008. i get the process though. thats clear enough.
i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!
Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

okay thanks i downloaded a rom! only one i can find hope it works for mine. and now the only concern i have is data loss... im only worried about contacts... and maybe texts. but contacts are the most important. comments?
thanks for your help!
Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.
I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.
Hi Hello,
this is my first post in this forum and I hope you will forgive me my bad english and the fact, that 2 hours of searching haven't figured out answers to my problem.
I flashed my HD2 by using this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Everything worked well and I'm really impressed of the performance my HD2 now shows.
My problem:
I wish to install APPS2SD and searched quite the whole Internet for a manual to do it.
But it seems all manuals are NOT for my configuration.
Due to the flashing process there is hspl 2.08 and magdlr 1.13 installed on my phone.
When I try to get in "recovery" via magdlr it says something like "missing source".
I guess something is missing but I didnt't get it.
So please can anyone show me the way to get APPS2SD installed?
Thank you!

format ur sd card and try again,but make sure u followed the instructions EXACTLY how the developer says,if uve done all that,cwm and fix permission

There are many roms supporting this feature automatically when you have an SD-ext partition.you can try one of them.

That is an utter nonsense, if you have a samsung like s2 you can send any type of file. This is android stock behaviour that sucks.

Hello,
I've installed the ics update of htc. Since then my phone is crazy laggy and slow. Anyone else experiencing this?
I'll probably do a factory reset, and if nothing works I ll go for custom roms. I just wanted to know if there is anything I can try before these.
Thanks!

It's best if you flash custom roms. It really unleashes the true power of the Incredible S. You see stock software from HTC isn't optimized. And when xda gods like mike1983 (i think) create roms like arhd, you will experience true power

Thanks for the answer! I'm interested in doing that, but I use only linux and I see most of root s-off stuff needs a Windows PC, and for hboot 2.02, there is no straightforward guide yet. If I find a nice guide JUST for linux (and for hboot2.02), I'll sure do it.

Flash the RUU for your phone, and then Reset it.

I ve read a bit about ruu, but it still seems to need windows machine. I would install a custom rom if I had windows. By the way, how do you find the ruu? Do you get it from HTC?

I flashed RUU but did not reset it. Most of the time phone is slow. Does factory reset after RUU really does the trick?
I am kind a sick of reinstalling my apps, because I allready did 2 resets after first OTA, downgrade to 2.3.5 and new OTA (before RUU become availible) and after that - 4.0.4 RUU. Perfomance stays the same - slow.
Disable that weird office app that came with this update, I think that may solve your problem. At least it worked for me!! I'm using Documents to go anyway so I didn't need it

Hey Guys,
I had updated my HTC Incredible S recently and found ICS was great but had major problems as phone became "laggy" and took more than 16 seconds to get back to Home Screen after hitting the Home Icon.
I did search for the solution on google and found the trick mentioned by Luckyone199 in the link as mentioned below:-
androidforums.com/htc-incredible-s/580085-all-about-ics-htc-incredible-s-ice-cream-sandwich-update-rolling-out-now.html#post4751371
And guess what.... it worked wonders!!
Just go to DEVELOPER OPTIONS under Settings and UNCHECK ''DON'T KEEP ACTIVITIES'' on bottom of the menu.
It just worked great and now my phones is ultra-fast and I able to make the best of what ICS had to offer.
It should work for other phones too. Thanks to Luckyone199. Please do try it and post back so it will be helpful for others too. Thanks Guys

It's strange that some get laggy experience and some get much better performance after the ICS upgrade... My phone is blazing fast compared to gingerbread. Don't forget that Sense 3.6 is heavier... Browsing, running apps and even 3D performance have improved! In Modern Combat 3 there's a huge difference!!1
Have they improved the qualcomm drivers or is just ICS more tweaked for games & hardware acceleration???

This does not mean, that you are going to use home brewed ROM, but exactly opposite way. If you update it this way, you will get official updates through Zune.
Just do what is mentioned in the update post:
"Connect to computer, place in Airplane Mode, check for updates and quickly disable Internet connection."
I have just pulled the network cable after 2-3 sec. after update check started and waited. After several tries (~2-10) Zune told me, that there is an update available. Than you just reconnect the cable and run the update.
Repeat for each update. Than you have official updates installed.
There could be maybe more updates in your case, because you have only 7.10.8107.79 version, but at the end you should end up with official 7.10.8858.136. :fingers-crossed:
