I am having a problem trying to restore my phone. I was running Deepshining v2 and decided to go back to stock for a while. So, I connected to Zune to do a restore and failed. I get to step 3, at 0%, and then it times out. I have tried this several times with 2 different restore points. I have tried flashing a stock Rom, doing a factory reset, and downgrading radio. I have also tried the WP7easybackup tool with the same results. The phone worked fine after every flash. Since I could not restore, I decided to put on Deepshining v6, which is also running fine. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Same issue on installing NextGen+ 2.6
Please reply to this post , m having same issues after installing NextGen+ 2.6
I still have not had any success. I will be upgrading to deepshining 7.2 soon and will try again then.
It seems you have a recent bootloader...go to tricolor screen and if this SPL-5.11.2250.0 reads...You must Y cable to lower spl
bootloader
That is a good thought. I looked under "setting -about - more info" and it says I have bootloader 3.1. I have been on a custom rom since before Mango and currently on Deepshining 7.1
Is there no way to downgrade if you have 5.11.2250.0 spl. I have just been given this phone by a friend who stupidly put a pin code on his lockscreen and then quickly forgot it. I have a htc desire s so use android and thought it would be easy to just reflash it through bootloader but this is different. I have tried most ways i can find on the hd7 forums except gold card as i do not have the bits. Is there not a simple way to factory reset this device or some kind of recovery?
Oh and sorry if this is in wrong thread but its one of the only ones i've found refering to spl 5.11

I think I've been a total idiot and messed up my HD. I hope there's a way to salvage the situation!
I was attempting to flash a 1.56 ROM so tried to downgrade to SPL 1.54; this was going along nicely until it encountered an error and tried to re-start the flash. Now the device is stuck on "Loading..." before begining the flashing process.
If I soft-reset the device, the SPL has changed to 1.54.0000 according to the Bootloader screen but it says "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again".
I've googled that error message and found a few hits but none of them presented a solution; just people asking this question.
Since that, I've tried to Hard-Reset but it brings me back to the same Bootloader error.
I've tried to flash a ROM but the device can't connect to Activesync to use the RUU_Wrapper and flashing via the BLACIMG.nbh on my SD card won't work either; it just goes back to the same Bootloader error screen and gets stuck on the "Loading..." again.
I've also tried to flash the new HSPL which is 1.56 capable but that suffers the same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions? Please? Never encountered anything like this in years of flashing my Blueangel and Tytn.
Full details from my bootloader screen:
RUUNBH
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
Upgrade ROM code error

That doesn't seem to be the same problem as the one I'm encountering. I found that thread via Google as I said I had searched in my post and flashing the stock HTC ROM that came with my device did nothing to solve the problem; 3 machines here, one running XP, one running Vista and one running 7 all fail to connect to the device to allow for any sort of flashing and flashing via an SD card does not provoke a response either.
--Edit--
Sorry - realised that my reply sounded a little stroppy! Blame it on the stress of having a possible brick on my hands! Thanks for the attempt to help but, like it says above, that solution hasn't worked for me

Have you tried reading cRaCKwHoRe's guide for flashing 1.56 roms. Can be found in my signature. If you follow his steps, you should have no problems

That's what I was following when things went wrong. Don't know what I did but during the downgrade process the flash "encountered an error" and had to restart....only it never did and just left me stuck in the bootloader with an error message.
It's fixed up now though and I'm running Dutty's shipped version quite happily. To fix it I tried different .msi packages from HTC and eventually one of them managed a successful flash. From there I was able to continue with cRaCKwHoRe's guide.
i had a similar problem i was upgrading to 1.56 so i to my thinking reverted to a stock rom them loaded 1.14 stock spl where my phone started showing the error screen i investigated and found that the stock rom id downlosded from the stock rom section must have been tampered with as the signarure was incommplete. so now the spl was reading 114000... as it was stuck in tri screen the data had loaded to my device it justxwasnt signed so wouldnt work i dowladed the appropriat 1.56 rom from htc which includdes the new 1.54spl started it and there i whent stock 1.56 rom with stock 1.54 spl. i than loaded olinexs new hspl im running vista so had to use the manual tool but othere than that installed ok.
i hope that helped in short as long as ur screen is reading a stock spl u can install an apropriat 1.56 rom from htc i belive the issue is caused by impropper signage of some stuff marked as stock here.
Hi,
I've just upgraded to a new Dutch rom, but since then I only have trouble.
I get different colours (like drivers are not loaded), it keeps getting stuck or resets itself, and nothing helps.
I've tried to put on a different rom, with succes, but I still have the same problems.
On startup, however, I see the right colours.
I also put back the latest original ROM, but no luck...
Can anybody help me?
guessing you have hspl 1.14 installed
Yeah, I reinstalled that, as one of the latest things I did.
The problem you describe happens when you flash a 1.56 based rom with 1.14 HSPL. First flash a stock 1.56 ROM (a new SPL is then flashed as well) or use the new HSPL. Then you should be fine. So no, it's nor corrupt!
For more info, read crackwhore's guide (sticky)
Well, I'm trying to do so now, but it keeps getting stuck at 0%...
Does it matter I have an NLD-version, and not a WWE?
Update: I cannot get a proper connection via activesync, and through the bootloader it stays at 0%, and after a while the update utility says no.
Update 2: ah, thanks to troubleshooting, it looks fine!
THANKS!
Hi guys, I've been using the Energy roms quite often and I can say I did not fail to upgrade any of the updates. Today, my Blackstone "freezed" while I was surfing on the internet using opera, I took off the battery and I turned it on again but no success, so I decided to upgrade the rom (I was using the 25th Dec Rom). I followed the same procedure as always and when the installation ended the phone failed to boot. It reached at the stage where you are asked to enter the pin code, I typed it and then "nothing"! It kept frozen no matter what I was trying to do. I did several hard resets, I re-installed the latest rom (both versions) but nothing
Anyone knows how to fix this issue????
I need to say that in trying to fix this issue, I installed an old rom which was based on Windows 6.1 and the phone worked just fine, but the whole rom was so old, so I could not stay with that one. This means that the phone is not broken, right?
I also followed someone's here suggestion to go back to the original stock rom, hard reset and then install again the WM 6.5 roms. But again, this did not change anything. Is there a way to make the phone "accept" the WM 6.5 roms, as it used to accept them before???
Please help me cause I cannot live without this phone!!!
Thanks in advance for all those experts who are willing to share their suggestions with me!

Have you tried various wm6.5 roms, possibly as bad download? Obviously I'm assuming you have either HSPL on device or you re-used USPL before flashing rom?
Did you flash back to original stock rom & SPL? i.e. rom and SPL which was on device when you bought it?
I had the same problem on the same rom, flashed stock rom then back to energy's. Been working fine ever since
Did you do a hard reset after installing energy rom too?

Thank you very much for your response! I followed your suggestion to go back to the stock rom and spl and then flash cooked rom, although Energy roms still refused to install after all this procedure! I don't know why, because they have been working and installed just fine in the past. I suceed on flashing a Miris rom, not the latest one but an old one I had in my computer and fortunately it worked! So, according to the results of my experiment, my phone accepts WM6.5 roms, but not Energy roms! I will be waiting for an update of Energy roms to see if the new version will be accepted by my phone!!!
Thanks again for the assistance!

Thanks for the response, read what I wrote in my response to the other friend!
I got similar issues before, the phone just couldn't boot or hard reset itself after one or two days with many different 6.5 ROMs. Did an mtty task 29 then it looks good now for a week. If it still failed I would follow Fallen Spartan's suggestion to flash stock ROM+SPL.

hmmm, after returning to stock rom & SPL. What was your SPL in bootloader? Did you follow dummies guide afterwards and use USPL or HSPL before trying to flash NRG rom? Did you try a different rom? Whats your current SPL?
Hi there
I just bought a new Topaz. I have HardSPL and then tried to apply a new ROM. Now it keeps on rebooting - it only gets to the screen where it says TOUCH DIAMOND 2 - and the the red numbers appear in the lower right corner - and then it reboots..
Is it bricked or is there anything I can do??
I tried to hard reset - but it still keeps rebooting
No not bricked.
Must be an incompatible ROM or you didn't HSPL to 2.51.
Just find another ROM, Stock or otherwise (since you are HSPL'd, but check your version first), go into Bootloader Mode and flash with RUU.exe.
Thank you Bruce!!
I'm still having problems though. I have tried to install a few different stock ROM - both 6.1 and 6.5. Everytime the same issue - I get stuck on loading the new ROM and it keeps rebooting.
I have tried to upgrade spl to 2.51 but still the same issue
What else can I do??
What does your SPL show in bootloader mode?
Make sure it has Olinex as a suffix.
Thanks again Bruce,
Yes it says Olinex.. When I first got the phone I tried to install a new ROM and I forgot to do SPL first - could it be that something serious went wrong in that attempt?
Anything else I can try?

Is it 1.83.Olinex or 2.51.Olinex?
Flashing a ROM w/o HSPL will most certainly mess up your device but it should be recoverable if you can find your stock ROM for your carrier and region.
You symptoms sound as if you are on 1.83 trying to flash 2.51 SPL ROMS.
Hi, im having the same issue as OP, i tried to flash the latest Energy rom (sept 8) onto my td2 and the bootscreen is showing 1.83.Olinex. What do i do to fix this?
You must have HSPL 2.51 for this ROM and for all newest roms.
Hello everyone,
I have the following Problems: After a while of use, my HD7 stops responding to button usage. The Screen stays operational and it won't lock or turn off by itself anymore, what drains the battery pretty fast. Basically, the OS seems to be working, but some Programs wont open or close. All Buttons are affected - Power, Volume, und Back/Windows/Search.
As I expected it to be an OS malfunction, I flashed SLSPL, downgraded the bootloader to 1.69.xx, Rspl/Hspled and installed an old Stock rom, afterwards flashed Dynamics 2.0 ROM, but the problem is persistent. Before I used to have the HTC Europe 7.8 Stock Rom.
Does this look familiar to anyone? Problem occurs with and without SIM. Could it be a SDcard malfunction?
Current setup is:
OS: 7.10.8862.144
Firmware: 2250.21.51201.401
Hardware rev. nr. 0002
Radio software ver. 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
radio hardware ver A.102.0.D4
bootloader 3.1.2250.0(119314)
Thanks in advance for your help!
Solved
To all who might have similar problems: replacing the microSD solved it. For the procedure, I followed along Wolfman017's great step-by-step tutorial in this thread. as my HD7 had no warranty anymore, sending it in was no option.

Same problem here, but I replaced the microSD card with a new one and after a while the new card is also broken
Can this be caused by a new software release? Did you downgrade first and then replace the SD card ?
Thanx in advance,
Dirk-Jan
Yes,
unfortunatly my posting was a little early. After a few days the problems reoccured. Before I changed the SD-Card, I downgraded RSPL/HSPL via HTC Europe SLSPL method, flashed an BL 1.69 StockRom and then flashed the Custom Rom. After installing the new card and still having the problems, I downgraded again and tried the original stock Rom (Windows Phone 7.0), and even here the issue was persistent. It didnt went away with upgrading via zune, but on one update zune reported an update error, The phone finished the update nevertheless
and seemed to work.
On the first time, the problem came up after the stock upgrade to 7.8, so I think it might be a broken phone
Please let me know if you manage to find a solution!
Best regards
Hi, thats to bad, don't have a solution yet. Seems we're not the only one with this problem, found a thread on answers.microsoft.com about this butr no solution there.
I don't have much experience with installing custom roms, etc. Can you share more details about what you did exactly to downgrade, or perhaps a website with some howto's about the steps you took?
Regards,
Dirk-Jan
Hey Dirk,
to Flash custom Roms, you first have to downgrade the bootloader of your phone. As I presume you are placed in Europe you can use the SLSPL method, See this thread for information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904 Many thanks to ansar for the great work.
2nd step is to install RSPL/HSPL to "open" the phone to custom Roms. See this thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Afterwards, you can flash any custom rom you find in the HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development- section of the board. There are great step-by-step tutorials there. Please read carefully through the threads to not make any mistakes. Worked great for me =)
Best regards,
Jan
Update - Still no solution
As there still seems to be no solution for this problem, I have bought another used HD7 und customized it with the gold card method. I tested the SD Card of the phone and it seems to be broken, not even several recovery tools advised here on xdadev were able to even read it. Unfortunatly, replacing the SD Card did not help, so maybe its just a bricked phone
