Hello,
I want to unlock my phone HTC HD7. I've read a lot of threads regarding unlocking and as far as I understand, i need to downgrade my os to version 7008 ( my current OS version is 7392 ). I'm completly new at this so I wanted to post my phone specification so that someone could direct me, so that i don't mess anything up. I'm affraid of bricking my phone so please help me out.
My phone specs:
Model: HTC HD7 T9292
OS version: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.207
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Radion hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloadrer version: 1.69.2250.0(117833)
Chip SOC versionL 2.2.5.0
DIM : PD20100 5VDC == 1A
I don't know what kind of ROM i have and I don't know where to check what it is. I've tried unlocking my phone with ChevronWP7 unlocker, i've installed the sertificate, but the unlocker doesn't recognize my phone.
P.S. Is there a way to unlock my phone with the current OS version on later, or do i nessesarly have to downgrade it first?
your bootloader is below 4.x (1.69) so you can flash whatever custom wp7 rom you want after having h/rspl your phone (go there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068)
chevron is working (with many conditions) on 7004/7008 roms only...so i suggest you to flash custom roms, should be more easy...
you will learn more about rom specificities there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876451
yes your bootloader is below 4.x, so you dont have to downgrade your HSPL....
but first you have to goto bootloader screen and check you model number !
and see if you can install HSPL from cotulla, if your model is not supported by cotulla HSPL then you cant do anything, like me, wait and prey cotulla releases more support

I also need help!
Dear friends! I also newly bought HD7 and I downgraded my version from 7390 to 7004. Now, I have no idea about how to unlock it! I checked this website but I am really confused... Which programs should I have and what is the process for unlocking? Could somenone post step-by-step instructions both for me and our other friends? We are new to this mobile so your help will be appreciated. Thanks for your understanding and politeness...

hi gargamel35
i dont think you had 2 downgrade as your v7390 shouldnt have bootloader higher then 4.x... but any way,
first boot into bootloader and check model mids number?
step 1 check to see if your phone will accept Cotulla HSPL, if NOT you cant do anything !
cheers

Thanks jhonny for your help but I have no idea how I can do the things you told me. I am totally new to this subject, as I told you before. I will be glad if you can write down the step-by-step instructions. I have no idea about HTCs since I have always used Apple products. Thanks a lot...
ok
first turn off the phone
once phone is off ... press power button and volume down
you should then enter bootloader screen... tri colour
tell me every thing you see there?

Thanks for your help, my friend. If you can give me the download links to HSPL and custom rom (I also don't know how to install them) I will download. There are lots of HSPL links and I am confused again. I am really sorry for taking your time but I am TOTALLY NEW. Thanks for your patience and great help...
PLEASE READ MY NEXT MESSAGE - THIS ONE IS NOT IMPORTANT ANY MORE!!!
Now I have HSPL on my HD7 and I am trying to install Ansar's Schubert 1.69 unlock package. (check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16297399#post16297399). But I can not pass to the U2M7720 installation since I use Windows XP and I can not install APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT on my computer (it is included in SDK 7.1 for Windows 7 and Vista and it is only designed for these 2 operating systems. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with XP).
So, my question is, what is the substitution for APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT that runs .xap files? I have to deploy U2M7720 to continue unlocking my HD7. I need your help guys! Thanks...

hello hotdogggg
you are talking about 2 diffrent things.
first one, you called t mobile and got unlock code, thats to unlock phone so you can now use any sim card with any mobile provider.
second , if you want custom rom then you still have to downgrade your RSPL/HSPL

hi mate
you have to downgrade your HSPL.
when you flash a stock rom that will aslo downgrade your HSPL at the same time.
try any stock rom, ansar has a couple
check bootloder...HSPL to be less then 3x
after each go

I'm fairly new to custom roms and flashing and would like to ask if I can flash any custom roms with the Security unlocked bootloader or do I still need to downgrade my SPL as to avoid bricking the phone.
Thanks in advance.

I am asking if is possible to use on my phone the winphone developers tool rtw, and how to do this.
Thanks.
You need an exap program installed on your phone to sideload apps and to do that you need to unlock your phone, which is quite easy using shadows tutorial on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
I know you don't want to change your rom and flash a new one but that's the only way because Microsoft has these devises locked down so that you can't do anything additional with your hd7. if you follow the tutorial its quite easy and safe! If you decide too, you have plenty of support here on xda with any questions or problems.
If you found this helpful please click the thank you button!
Thanks, but where can i find a video with this steps with the unlock and rom, because i am a newbie...
Your bootloader is 5.xxxx so you have to use the goldcard method to downgrade spl there's a video here
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=RM5oIICVQdo&v=RM5oIICVQdo&gl=US
Then follow shadows tutorial still to install rspl or hspl and then flash a rom of your choice!

Well the process is -
Downgrade the SPL to at or below 3.xxx, (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL) since your SPL is 1.16, there is no need to downgrade the SPL any further and that is the hardest part of the whole process.
Download and install RSPL/HSPL from DFT for first Gen devices. Read through the post carefully and follow the directions, to avoid any damage to your device.

These are the only the methods for downgrading SPL 5.xxx
1. Goldcard method - requires Y cable, (either purchased or home made) card reader/flash drive, goldcard tool. Card reader seems to be more successful and use a 1gb to 4gb SD card, larger SD cards will work but need to formatted to FAT32 and partitioned.
Download a Pre-NoDo, Nodo specific rom and the goldcard tool. Put the rom on the SD card and patch it with the goldcard tool. Enter the device into USB host mode and make the proper Y cable connections, the flash process will start. SPL has to be downgraded to at or below 3.xxx to install RSPL/HSPL. Once that's achieved install RSPL/HSPL and then you can flash a custom rom of your choice. Make sure it has WiFi tethering feature.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676794
2. Zune restore point by Zubair - If you undated your device from a Pre-Mango state then you can restore the device throught Zune. The restore won't downgrade the SPL, but the update process will when it installs Mango. The device will restart twice during the update process, once to change the SPL to 4.xxx and once to install Mango. You have immediately stop the update process after it installs Mango and before it installs the HTC Firmware update otherwise it will upgrade your SPLto 5.xxx again. From this point just follow Shadows tutorial and flash a PreNoDo/NoDo rom to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx and then you can install RSPL/HSPL and then a custom rom.

3. SLSPL rom by Ansar - This is for Europe devices with a Firmware Revision Number ending in .401 and can work on TMobile devices that are SIM unlocked.

Just follow Shadows tutorial, it's step by step for downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing custom roms. Has all the links for the 5.xxx and
4.xxx downgrade methods, stock/shipped rom collections and XSPL - Which is installing RSPL/HSPL.

Hi. I am new at this forum . My phone is NOKIA LUMIA 710 with latest update. So my question is how can I jailbreak or install custom rom on myNOKIA. Here is the info from boot menu:
And the info in About: NOKIA Lumia 710

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me, I've upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 920 several months ago now and am intending on giving my old phone to my Mum, I've been reading through the forum on the whole process of Bootloaders, SPL, Roms etc and its really confusing me so was hoping someone could point me in the right direction and let me know what I need to do as simple as possible.
The main intention of the custom rom is to get the WP 7.8 update and to be able to install the Nokia Drive navigation app. The phone info is;
Model: HTC HD7 T9292 - Its on O2 UK network and has always only been used on stock official firmware.
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51101.206

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
So basically I'd like to know if its even possible to do this phone, preferably without having to get cables and stuff etc.
Thanks for any help!

The simplest answer:
NO!
Your bootloader is over version 3.XX
The only method for a downgrade + custom ROM is goldcard method.
Period!

only if the device is NOT half bricked (bootloader doesn't show USB or Serial in the white stripe), if the bootloader is OK (shows USB or Serial) you are good to go, BUT I have never tried this method.
