[Q] Unlocking HTC HD7

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...
Here are the specs of my HTC HD7:

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...

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 erezhavida
you get that error msg when rom is wrong region
you have to find earlier rom for your region
your Firmware number :2250.21.51003.206 last number...206 is your region
look for older stock rom ending in 206
try that....that should then downgrade your HSPL

That link doesn't work to show what rom you want to download. Power off your phone, hold down the volume down key and power your hd7 back on while continuing to hold down the volume button, this will bring you into boatloader mode.

hello xdrc45, is SPL and bootloader version the same? im struggling with all of these letters. lol
I already asked this in a different thread. apparently, no one's still around to answer.
here are the details:

can I flash a different rom with that? I just got this phone with a custom rom already. I got tired and bored of android so im exploring wp7. please help me.
Thanks!

Yes its pretty much is the same, when in boatloader mode do you have rspl or hspl if you have hspl you can just flash a new rom, if you have rspl then you need to re rspl and then flash a new rom.

I made many errors and i'm going to explain it for those people who have the same problems.
-I originally had HTC HD7 (Schubert) with mango 7.5 installed from zune
-My originally spl was 5.x

2º- i downgraded my spl using SLSPL from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904
3º- once rebooted in spl mode i got SPL 1.57
4º- I installed this RUU http://www.4shared.com/file/kXXbn7HR/RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_169401.html
This will give you SPL 1.69 wich is supported in DFT
5º- Use cotulla DFT, now without problems.
