Hello to all ..
My problem is that here ..
In a few words I wanted to install in my HTC 7392 with node HD7 SPL Bootloader 4.5 and unlocked the rom modified mango ..
but before you do anything, I had to install HSPL / RSPL in my HTC HD7 ..
I downloaded the "DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1"
I followed a guide ..
MAH reached the point of selecting the SPL, the list of the program reached only up to 3.4 ..
so my HD7 being with SPL 4.5 you could not do so I tried to install the 3.4 "I did na bull****" ..
so going forward I get an error in the program where it was impossible to go on ..
So I unplugged the HD7 and I tried to do it again ..
MAH OSPL when I open "volume down and power button" not come out as written, but all I get only one written with the words "SS-BC PD29100 (4k) ..
What has happened? knows someone explain why?
I already tried to do the backup but nothing = (..
What does the spl screen say when your in bootloader?
Sounds like you have the 4.xx version.. If that's the case you need to flash an official nodo rom first. The hspl doesn't support spl's 4.xx yet.

if your Bootloader does indeed only have one thing written on it...
then you have half-bricked your device.
according to cotulla, here, it is impossible to recover such devices.
though...
according to dj.95, here, you can recover your device using the goldcard method.
good luck.

But you have to worry about?
What are the consequences?
Is serious?

you didnt read the instructions that are in giant bold letters all over those threads...you had spl 4.5 and tried to install the hspl. youve unfortunately half bricked your phone and currently it looks like it may NOT be fixable at all. try the gold card method listed above, i havent done it or read the thread but briefly but it looks like it may be a work around. unfortunately tho youre phone is BBQ'd.

i don't thing with the goldcard method we recover our device! my device work ok, but don't go to boot usb host mode because bootloader is half bricked! then no gold card works...
(or maybe it's me, that does not access the USB host mode?) ( camera + vol- + power?)

Half bricked possibilities
Hi friends. Do you really know anybody, if goldcard, Zune HTC update, JTAG or something another can solve hb problem? I am also in the "warnings late reading ignorants" club from last weak. But, I got a reply from a single "Half Bricked repairing" service near of Central Europe (GSM-TechNix.de): "Dear Sir, HTC 7 Pro is no Supported by JTAG! Sorry we can not help for this Phone." I have a little idea - to replace only internal information about bootloader version (I have no info on tricolore, but 3.2.2250.0 in Settings/about), connect to Zune and replace HTC update, if it is depend by this number. Is it possible? I have unlocked phone with pre-nodo (older backup has deleted by Zune), then HTC debug application or some homebrew features for values writing can work.
(From another forums:
_________
"Just updated my half bricked phone(bootloader problem) via Zune with HTC update for Windows Phone and the bootloader hasn't been fixed, so our only chance is with XTC Clip or DFT to come with a solution
Actually I got the same problem using an HTC Trophy A1 Version."
________
"For now your/our phone(s) are half-bricked. But as soon as a new update is available - including a new Radio Version everything will work fine again. Had the same problem when debranding my phone. After updating to 7932 via Zune everything was fine again - until I applied the leaked Mango Update.
So again - be patient "
________
"If your device is halfbricked you can use the goldcard method to recover your phone. If it's full bricked you need to make a jTag."
________
"Goldcard cannot repair halbricked WP7 phone."

). Thanks for replies, sorry for my english. M.

hi Franzferdinan51
actually there are 2 ways;
1; goldcard
2; HSPL/RSPL
first you have to see if your phone is supported for custom rom.
enter bootloader and see info ....

device relocked
hey guys, i know this isn't in the correct (specific) thread, but i can't post there yet because of the 10 post rule.
So I have DeepShining 7.6 and everything was great until I used HTC Connection twice. Now XAPs won't deploy and Zune always says something about not being able to connect the device through the internet and also I had some tweak for WMDC to detect the phone, but now it does not.
I know that using HTC Connection Setup twice can relock the device but I can't change the past I would just like to know what I can do now (besides reflash) to fully unlock the device.
Also, if there is no other way besides reflashing; does anyone know a way to back up all things like the layout of my pinned tiles and just general data like that, including apps downloaded. I really do not want to have to install all my apps again, then restart my games, then reset all the settings in my apps, then add my contacts again etc.
Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread but I really did try to search everywhere for a suitable solution to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
Hi, i am quite new and i dont know how to flash custom roms. i also have some questions:
1) Do i loose all data and apps when i flash a custom rom?
2) I read, that i need to install "DFT HSPL RSPL WP7F3" first, but i also read on this page ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647 ) that i shoud not install it:
"WARNING TO ALL:
Do NOT use RSPL / HSPL with Mozart 4.XX and other RUU ROMS with MANGO.
All WP7F devices affected: MOZART, GOLD, SCHUBERT, MONDRIAN, SPARK!
It will damage your device. Not a joke."
So what to do now?
3) The custom rom of my choise would be "Nextgen+ ROM 3.1". After installing it, will i be able to receive the latest MS WP7 updates the normal way?
4) is there a not "enhanced" version of the latest Tango update? I would prefer that kind of version more then a custom one with functions/changes/bugs i do not like! If yes, where to find?
5) Is there any good how-to-do page to explain the flashing of custom roms?
THANKS

Thanks, as i wrote, the bootloader shows the info i added in my last post.
i tried to open the tool to install rspl/hspl, but that programm doesnt load. i use windows 7, but everytime i open the program there is an error. i tried the program on a win XP pc and there it is working, but also after installing ZUNE i do not have a usb driver... so where do i get a usb driver?
okay so far: i can boot an old version of the OS! right now i am running an update and hope, that the SPL-Version is working for the RSPL/HSPL cracking!
The biggest problem right now is the version of my bootloader, which is SPL-1.57
This bootloader is not supporter by the RSPL/HSPL. How can i install a new bootloader, which is compatible.
When i choose a bootloader close to the 1.57 version, e.g. 1.56 or 1.60 the installation on the pc finishs, but the device is not booting and therefore the SPL is still standing there...
Could it be, that the installation needs some time? more then 5 minutes on the device, cause it looks like that my phone is freezed after it (when i remove the usb-cable, the screen still shows the usb connection...)
What is a radio?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Radios
What version should i install? Is the radio = bootloader?
More and more problems.
the OS i now have installed has just english US keyboard... the update to Mango is not working too!
**** i just want to get back to the old version...
i am from germany, had a 5.X bootloader and latest mango update!
Please, can anyone help me to get back to that state?!?

hi stephanwiw
by what you have writen , you have downgraded your phone hspl bootloader to less then 3.xx . thats good
now flash/install cotulla custom hspl number 3 http://htcfanboys.com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=2942
once you have done that, check bootloader screen again , should say cotulla
download custom rom, enter bootloader again and flash
radio comes with rom, so before you start to play with radio install, try phone first , see how it works then.....

Thanks for the help, but i choosed another way.
Finally i managed to install a clean "normal" rom from Mango. Installed all old apps again and i am happy to have a working phone again The complicated process of hacking my device is over!
But one last question is interesting for me: Is there any Tango Rom out for the HTC HD7 without any custom changes? Can it be installed without an hacked phone? Would i lost all my data again, or would it be a real update?
Thanks!

sorry to hear that you couldnt install custom rom!
if you have installed a stock rom, and plug phone to pc, run zune and once an updade is offered, you can update that way, and no you shouldnt loose any data that way.

similar problem!
hey guys! i'm new to the hd7 scene but i've done a lot of flashing previously. i've got a similar problem as stephanwiw. my SPL is the same (1.57.2250.0) and when i try to RSPL, the device just stays on the tricolour screen and doesn't restart. if i pull out the battery and go back into tricolour screen, it just says i still have OSPL of 1.57. i have windows 7 (64 bit) and i have WMDC installed.
does anyone know what the issue is here?
all help is appreciated
EDIT: just updating for anyone else who has a similar problem because i found a very simple solution
i was only choosing the closest SPL to mine which was 1.56. but then i chose one which was larger than the SPL that i had and that was 1.60. and that's all i needed. it actually makes sense in retrospect as to downgrade any SPL you need to flash an official ROM, so i guess this was a stupid mistake.
hi gagannitrate
nice to hear you worked it out and got it working!
it all sounds hard but all you need is to go slow and follow every step sh4d0w86 has listed.

Hi guys
I have a htc hd7 and I tried to downgrade it to pre mango by using ROM by ansar. when it reached a 100% there was an error message saying 270 image is corrupted.
After several attempts my started working with this rom and the tricolor screen now says:
PD29100 MFG SS-BC (4K)
SPL-1.57.2250.0(113571)
MicroP(LED) 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
When I try to install RSPL my phone is recognised but it doesn't restart at the end of the process and RSPL isn't istalled. I tried all the versions 1.56, 1.60, 1.61, 1.64, 1.68, 1.69 but still I can't install RSPL
Can please someone help?
Thanks
hi jtsek
RSPL is not permenant, and only used once, so after every flash you have to flash again
HSPL will stay on your phone always,
but remenber if phone needs repair/warranty then before you send it, you have to flash stock rom again to get rid of HSPL because void warranty

See if you can enter bootloader,if you can u can flash a new rom using the goldcard method

hey sirajgoku, thanks for the link..:good: im going to try ur advice, but can u please tell me where to get a goldcard and another thing I just try to get the hd7 in bootloader and it got and it's showing me this "PD29110 SS-BC (4k)", do u know where can I find what that means..
thank u so much for everything.
The PD29110 is your devices MID (model id) There are a couple goldcard method tutorials available for hd7. Here's a pretty detailed one you can follow. you need a card reader, some USB cables to make a Y cable, easiest method Y cable (otg)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152
The hd7 is considered the Schubert, which you'll see in the tutorial.
Are you getting any other information while in bootloader mode, like bootloader version, OS or mico info?
If you found this helpful please click he thank you button!
no more info in bootloader mode, it doesn't give me any version or os, just what I wrote before "PD29110 SS-BC (4k)".. when I turn on the phone it just stay in the htc screen and then vibrate like 7 times and that's it.

Ok, definitely bricked, but is it a small or big brick and it sounds like you have the big brick! Then the only other question is, can you enter USB host mode still and if so does your computer recognize it when it's plugged in? Press camera+volume down+power on, to enter in host mode.

If you can get to BL mode then you should be able to get to USB HOST MODE. If you can do that PM me. I'm in Ft Lauderdale not too far and I'v goldcarded at least ten of 'em. If you can't get to Host mode next stop JTAG.
It will go into bootloader mode but it's bricked. Meaning there's only one line of information showing in BL mode which is the devices MID. If it will go into USB host mode there is a possibility of fixing it using the Goldcard method. If it won't go into USB host mode, there is one more possibility of fixing it besides using and having to resort to the Jtag/riff box. Using a cab and the cab sender, like the schubert 2250.21.50001.728 cab. Which if successful would upgrade the spl to 5.xxx and would added a few more lines of information to the bootloader screen but wouldn't repair it completely to where the serial/USB show up on the bottom line. However this should allow you to enter into USB host mode now and then you could 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 version you flash. At this point you can update through Zune to the current OS version and mango. Then if you wanted to, you could use your goldcard to downgrade the spl and install rspl/hspl and flash a custom rom!
Im a newbie in the world of Windows phone...
Can anyone help in giving a tutorial regarding how to flash my HTC HD7 with custome ROM's..
What are the requirements required..And the specifications..
Plz help me...
First you have to downgrade your spl to at 3.xxx or below. Then flash rspl or hspl to your device, then you can flash a custom rom! Just follow shadows tutorial here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
If you enter into bootloader and post your information back from the screen, can help walk you through it! To enter bootloader, phone off, hold down the volume button and power the phone back on while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into bootloader mode a tri colored sreen.

I had updated today...its now windows 7.5
What is goldcard u mentioned...is this a different method other than u mentioned before...
And one more thing do u get balance notification after call or txt msg..,because im not able to get it...
Goldcard is one of the only methods of downgrading your spl from 5.xxx without having a backup. Goldcard, you need to make a Y cable out of USB cables and have a sd card reader to complete the process!
Not sure what you mean by balance notification?
Oh do you mean like phone credit balance? Are you on a pay as you go plan? Im on contract with month to month billing and get notification when my bill is due and can view my usage through my carrier account!

That's good... We can do the spl downgrade without the Goldcard method then. So when your ready just let me know, I'll walk you through the process and we will have you running a custom rom in no time!

But after windows update to 7.5, my spl is 5.XXX, n for 5.XX goldcard method is required right...
This bootoader details,
PD29100 SS-BC(4K)

MICROP(LED) 0*07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)

Partition info-v211v413
what i sent was after my full update to 7.5...
And you quoted as i requires gold card method...Now how you ae saying it does not require goldcard.... Cann you explain in brief please...
Typically with a spl of 5.xxx or higher you would have to use the Goldcard method. But if you have a pre mango backup you can restore your phone through Zune, connect device to Zune - phone - settings - restore. It will restore your device to before the update, then re update the phone again through Zune like your upgrading to mango again. But this time once the Mango update happens (the phone will reboots twice after the update is applied, once for changing the spl and once for loading Mango) The spl is changed to 4.xxx that's when you stop the update and unplug the phone, you have to do this before the last update is applied which is the 7740/HTC Firmware Update, if you apply that too, it will change your spl to 5.xxx again, so you have to stop after the Mango update and then you can follow shadows tutorial for spl 4.xxx downgrade. Plus it will show you in the update box on the computer what update step it is on, so it's really easy to do! This is the same process that I used to downgrade my spl from 5.xxx to 4.xxx, then I finished using shadows tutorial to do the rest! The whole process took about and hour to fully complete and to have Deepshining rom installed on my device!
Why im not able to jail break my phone..When i run jail breaker, it say's phone is not connect through USB or Zune is not open..Though phone is cnnected through USB and Zune is open..
Should the phone be unlocked for it...Or it will work without unlock...

Are you following the directions and steps that I told you or are you trying to do it with a different method? If so what step are you on?

Typically with a spl of 5.xxx or higher you would have to use the Goldcard method. But if you have a pre mango backup you can restore your phone through Zune, connect device to Zune - phone - settings - restore. It will restore your device to before the update, then re update the phone again through Zune like your upgrading to mango again. But this time once the Mango update happens (the phone will reboots twice after the update is applied, once for changing the spl and once for loading Mango) The spl is changed to 4.xxx that's when you stop the update and unplug the phone, you have to do this before the last update is applied which is the 7740/HTC Firmware Update, if you apply that too, it will change your spl to 5.xxx again, so you have to stop after the Mango update and then you can follow shadows tutorial for spl 4.xxx downgrade.

Make sure your phone is plugged into the computer when trying to get the restore point. Should be select, phone - settings - update (Zune should check for an update and say, no updates availabe) and then there should be a restore button towards the bottom of the update box. If it's not there then you must not have a pre mango backup for it and you will have to use the Goldcard method to do it which is pretty easy once you have the Y cable put together and a sd card reader! Here's a pretty detailed tutorial for the Goldcard method

Then there is no backup i feel, because no restore button is displayed....
I wanted to know without unlocking the phone like mine..Can we do jailbreak....

Hi,hope this is the right place to ask this. I bought this HD7 last week from Ebay and it's current specs are;
Software: Windows 7.5
OS: 7.10.8107.79
Bootloader: 5.11.XXX
Zune is saying there's an update available,haven't updated yet though.
So my question is,I want to install the Deepshining rom,do I do the following;
Flash the NoDo rom as listed in the Q&A section of the Deepshining thread,via bootloader,to downgrade SPL.
Flash RSPL via bootloader,then immediately flash Deepshining rom.
Is it that easy,or am I missing something (or everything !) Have flashed loads of roms on phones in the past with no bother,but this seems dodgy to me as I keep seeing the word 'brick' and that scares me a bit.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Wish it was that easy...lol! Sounds like you understand for the most part, but with the bootloader of 5.xxx there are really only two options for being able to flash a custom rom.
1. A pre-Mango backup/restore point on your p/c. Which since you just got the device won't be a possibility for you.
2. The goldcard/Y cable method. Which is really easy and inexpensive! You can build you own cable or purchase one.
Check out Shadows tutorial, he explains the whole process and steps to flash a custom rom.

Hi guys!
I have an HTC HD7 phone, which was given to me (actually to my mobile phone magazine) about two years ago for writing review. It is a pre-production modell with test OS. It worked for some time but last year broke down, and I was not able to recover it.
Now I decided to give it one more try.
This time I tried upgrade through PC (USB connection is ok, but error code 269 at the end of the process - several ROM's tried) and goldcard method as well - but with no success.
This is written in bootloader:
**
Security Unlocked
SPL-0.93.2250.0(105296)
MicroP(LED) 0x06
TOUCH A1(v10)
nothing in green area (though there is card in the phone)
Serial in white area
**
USB connection works, and the phone can be put into USB host mode - so I think it must be some way to bring it back to life.
When I tried goldcard method the following tools were used:
2GD Samsung microSD
Kingston USB 2.0 microSD Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-MRB
Home made Y-cable
I followed the steps described in several threads here in XDA forum, but with no succes. The best result was that after connecting the phone in USB host mode "loading..." appeared on the screen, but some second later an error message came:
No image file!
(serial - written at the bottom)
What can be the problem? The pre-production ROM? Or should I use different microsSD card, card reader, or not home made Y-cable?
If anyone has an idea how to recover my phone please let me know.
My friend, no one from them will help you!! I don't know what exactly XDA is and how this community helps each other...
I registred here 1 week ago, posted 10 questions and asking for help or any guide how to restore/flash PVK key because my SD card is not recognized. I got only one answer
Okey bro. Take a look there:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dwkt6go38ibi2
And if you have EU phone then try to download these images:
1) / WP7 HTC Schubert HD7 /Goldcard DiagImg Roms / EU_1.16.401.01_R5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09
or
2) / WP7 HTC Schubert HD7 /Goldcard DiagImg Roms / EU_1.69.401.01_R5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10
Extract to SD and flash it from Hostmode.
Best regards
To install custom roms you need to install darkforce teams rspl/hspl to install custom roms. To use gold card you need to have the right image file,and it needs to be named specifically. Check for both of those in the htc hd7 development section.
