[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

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!

Um, tell me you tried looking two forums down to the HD7 Development and Hacking section?

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 .

Okay thanks. I actually noticed lately I've been randomly losing numbers after syncing. I never activated my live mail account on my phone till like a few days ago. Now since I sync I lose them?! What's the deal :/ I had the same problem with iPhone it would always randomly delete contacts. So dumb

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.

help rooting Verizon Tab

i picked up a used first generation(7" SCH-I800) VZW Galaxy Tab on Craigslist a couple weeks ago and have had a series of problems while trying to root it or even connect it to my computer.
im looking for Verizon specific instructions if anyone can make that happen.
i have a Windows 7 64bit PC and every time i try to install the drivers it fails. i do NOT have the Kies option in the USB connect menu in settings, only Media Play and Mass Storage. i downloaded Kies from Samsung website and installed it, and again the driver failed to install properly.
i know theres a bunch of people out there with rooted/rom'd Verizon branded Tabs. i'd love to figure out how you guys are doing it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

nothing? nobody here has a rooted Verizon Tab?

I've got the same tab. Been trying to root it for weeks. Z4 wont work, superoneclick hangs and the tab turns off but only goes into standby and doesnt really get rooted. I would deff make a donation to anyone who can help, I cant wait to get rid of all the verizon bloatware on this thing!

Im going to be real with y'all this to me is the most weird root i have ever had to do. I have rooted every android device i have owned with no problem but this just doesn't make sense to me. How do I root this blasted thing? No one can give me a straight answer some say zroot that doesn't work some say superoneclick that doesn't work. Is it the fact that its the sch 1800 from verizon? I don't understand why this device is so difficult to root can some one point me to a video or a direct like so i can read up on it cause its not making sense to me.
Thanks

[Q] 6/15/2012 US AT&T update?

Just got a text message from AT&T that there's an update available. I'm guessing it's just their latest fumbling attempt at Gingerbread. Anyone installed it yet? What version is it?

I just recieved the same text. Kinda afraid to update till I hear they fixed the gc and text issues, and mine kept randomly opening apps untill my ram was full, and my phone would freeze or just randomly reboot. I finally got tired of missing everything and downgraded back to 2.2

I would like to know the version as well. Did a net search and this thread is the only link I could find.

I received the same text message and followed the instructions. I downloaded the support tool and connected my phone, however the program told me that, "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update".
Anyone else have any luck?
Edit: It worked! Downloading now

I just connected to the LG updating tool. Says mine has the latest version (2.3.5)

So whats the word on this i just got the text

That was the original gingerbread update. Since then this last message has been sent to numerous Thrill users. LG updated tool states I have the latest version even though this text has been sent today.

I got this text last week. I was thinking about trying it but decided not to. There's another thread about this in this section too so you might find your answer there.

How did you downgrade back to 2.2 I would love to get froyo back until the ghost call is fixed.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk 2

It's 8 07 am here, and i just called LG, and the operator confirmed that this patch suppose to fix ghost call issue. I'm not sure whether he confirmed it to just calm me down or because it really is the fixing patch. Waiting for more news.

I updated mine around the 17th of June and have not had any problems, the battery life is at least twice that of Froyo. Not too many overall differences and I have not had the ghost call issue, at least not that I know of. I've used it for two weeks now and all is good.

Finally, when i switched the phone they decided to fix it...nice job LG. Gratz to all who stayed loyal to that phone.

If possible can you elaborate on your answer please. remember might also help someone that just got a DS7 T-mobile tablet.
I'm assuming because its a T-Mobile edition.

No, because you aren't on Honeycomb, idiot. Perhaps you should know who you are talking to first before having an asshat attitude.

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:

How it works?
I'm using custom 7.8 ROM but it's slow when opening apps.

This forced update is because of Microsoft, not HTC....having said that, it seems to be regional but I will try to force my USA phone today...

It seems to me a bit smoother. No problem with performance at all - it is fast as the Mango/Tango version. But it is only my opinion.

I have a T-Mo US HD7 that is unlocked. It's running the latest OS stock. I tried to force update it many times but only got the error 'Make sure youre connected to the internet'. Can someone please help me out with this?

To update from custom 7.8 I need to:
1. update to official 7.8 ROM using Zune
2. re-unlock to be able to use unsupported apps - how?
