[Q] Update to Mango from stock Nodo TmoUs

I am looking to update from stock Nodo tmobil us to Mango. I seem to have spl 3.1 on my phone. I am confused about some of the posts I have read. Do I need H/Rspl or will that brick my phone? Can I flash the Schubert Europe and then change the radio to US? Thanks for your help!

the simplest way to get to Mango RTM would be here.
i would first update to latest TMOUS ROM to get latest Radio and OEM drivers then use that method to update.
the downside to using that method, though, would be no future updates via official Zune channels.
if, in fact, you want to go the official Europe update way...
1) RSPL your TMOUS HD7.
2) flash RUU_Signed.nbh from Europe Mango RTM.
3) flash SPL_Signed.nbh from whichever TMOUS ROM.
end result should be Mango RTM with TMOUS Radio.
all HD7 Shipped ROMs can be found here.

Has anyone tried this?

This method seems easier, but too easy.

Is there a way to get mango but still be able to flash the official update? Can you down grade later and flash official?

that is the way i had described...
the Europe Mango RUU leaked by Football is official update for Europe version HD7.
so, when Mango is OTA released... no update to get.
if you have a TMOUS HD7 and flash to Europe Mango then you must flash an 'older' TMOUS RUU later to get official TMOUS Mango, unless a TMOUS Mango RUU is released.

Excuse me for being a noob. The Web site I posted didn't say anything about flashing h/RSPL. Do I need to flash that so I could get the radio? Also, your post with the "here" had a whole bunch of steps. Are these two diff roms? This all seems a little different to me I'm coming from a hd2 I broke. I currently have the correct radio but if I flash the Euro Rom I am assuming it would change my radio, correct?

they don't use the word flash, but they do indeed say to RSPL.
once you have the EURO ROM is flashed, you won't need RSPL for the Radio.
use RUUWrapper for HD7 to flash Radio.

[Q] Help with Chevron/unlocking mango?

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.

Be careful with just trying to flash rom versions, you can damage the bootloader and brick you device.
What is it that you are trying to do exactly?
Are you wanting to install a custom rom?
What method are you trying to use?
With a 5.xxx bootloader you can only use the goldcard/ Y cable method to flash your device and downgrade your SPL, unless you have a pre-mango Zune backup/restore point on your computer, then you can use that also to downgrade you SPL.
Let me know what your trying to accomplish and I'll try and help you!

Hi, xdrc45
Exactly I want to install Nextgen 3.4.
I'll trying to install official rom & and custom rom too.
In my planes firstly roll back to earlier versions (because HSPL installer says that required version firmware is not higher 1,6.....), then install HSPL & finish by installing Nextgen 3.4.
Can you help me step by step what I need to do?
Many many thanks for the any help!

You have to lower/downgrade your SPL to at or under 3.xxx to install RSPL/HSPL then flash Nextgen.
With 5.xxx SPL you can only downgrade your SPL in two ways.
1. Goldcard/ Y cable method, requires you to make a "Y" cable made out of 2male and 1 female USB cables and you need a SD card reader/flash drive.
2. Pre-Mango restore point, (Zubair's method, in Shadows tutorial) meaning you upgraded your device from a pre-Mango version to Mango and to you have the computer that you did it on.
Follow Shawods tutorial here, it explains all the above, How to downgrade SPL, flash XSPL and install a custom rom.

You'll have to SIM unlock the device to get it to work on your network carrier. There are online sites that charge a small fee and will have your device SIM unlocked in a couple hours to a day. Unfortunately flashing a rom won't SIM unlock the device.
When you get the device go to - Setting - About - More - this will give you the devices Bootloader version, Firmware Revision Number, Radio version and other information such as OS version but those are the important ones you'll need.
The last 3 digits of the Firmware Revision # will give you the network carrier that it's locked to for sure. Bell Mobility = .666
Since its Bell carrier you'll need to download a Bell Mobility Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom to downgrade the SPL and use it with the goldcard method to downgrade the SPL.
To flash a rom you'll have to follow these steps -
1. Downgrade the devices SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL)
2. Install RSPL and HSPL = Flashing XSPL
3. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
Just follow Shadow's tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing a custom rom -

Luckily yes!
You just have to download and install RSPL/HSPL while the device is in bootloader mode.
Read through the DFT XSPL post carefully to avoid damage to the device.
Then download and flash the custom rom of your choice while the device is in bootloader mode

Before you start trying to flash the device... Make sure you have ActiveSync install for windows XP or windows mobile device center for Vista/7 on your PC, this allows for the proper drivers to be installed. Then you'll want to plug the device into your PC into and let the drivers install. Once that's done put the device into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC again and it will install the Qualcomm drivers. This will change the white section in bootloader mode from "Serial" to "USB" and now your ready to start flashing!

i downloaded tried to run xspl following the link but the it says my hd7 model ID is not supported. Mine is a bell hd7 ( just unlocked using codes order online) with information as

Your device is supported use the Newest version Revision #3 here -
http://htcfanboys.com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=2942
As far as the rebooting I'm not sure....that can be caused from multiple things. Hopefully after flashing the device it will take care of it.
When in bootloader mode is there any other information displayed on the screen?
Other than
PD29130

thank you so much for the info. i will try it when i get home. the rebooting problem seems to have lessened after sleeping on it for a night. it's strange though. anyway, i will try to flash the rom to see if it elimates the problem.
yes, on the tri color screen, it shows other lines as well which i don't have a club what they are.
i will let you know what's going to happen .tks again.

it still didn't work. phone is recognized but there isn't 2.16 spl so i choose 2.10. it didn't work, then i tried 2.56 , it still didn't work. after the sussful msg, i took out the battery and then restart the phone going into tricolor state, its still spl, not rspl. any ideas, thanks ...

i just noticed that the tricolor screen has " MNG" in the spl version line. i remember the DFT software says to make sure no MNG is displayed in the message. i guess the DFT method does not work with my HTC HD7. now what i do? thank you,

It should still work even with the MNG.
I would try and run RSPL/HSPL again. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time. Run the RSPL wizard and select the 2.10, The device should stay in bootloader mode and say RSPL, if it doesn't change run the wizard again and it should work. Then while it's still in bootloader mode run the HSPL wizard and select the closest version to your RSPL 2.1
Once you install RSPL don't pull the battery or it will reset and go back to OSPL.
