do not need to buy y cable.
this downgrade bootloader operation need tools as below:
1,USB hub(two port and up)
2,tf storage card(No more than 4GB,smaller better)
3,tf card reader
if you have no tf card and tf card reader,give you a suggestion.you can use a udisk(request as above).
tools are ready,now let's start to downgrade bootloader:
1.download a rom of microsoft 7004 or 7008.and extract the file.
find the NBH file after extract file success.
2.formatting your storage card's file system to fat32,copy NBH file to your storage card and rename as SCHUIMG.nbh
3.insert your storage card into the port1 of usb hub,insert your htc cable to port2(do not need connect to hd7 at this time).
switch on the power and connect to your hd7. make sure your hd7 shutdown.then press volume down+camera key+power key.
then you can see your hd7 turn into storage model,
wait for a moment,when you see your hd7 screen showed"update success"
then congratulations!your hd7 has successful downgrade bootloader.

HD7 Zune Update Interrupted

I have HTC HD7 with Windows 7.
While updating phone using ZUNE, the update has interrupter. and now my phone is not starting. it struk up at the boot scree (white background with HTC logo, the very first screen when we start the phone)
So, can I restore it ? What should I do now ?
What kind of HD7 is it? (Europe-, T-Mobile-, O2-,... Version)
If possible you can flash a orginal rom that suits your ID, or flash hspl & one of the roms of the HD7 development section

I'm not sure about it. That mobile can be from Australia or London*, its not working with Indian sim card So i was on try to make it working and failed at update, but when it was booting it have the logo O2 which you have listed.
So can say its O2 ?
So if you want to play a little bit with it, we have a few possibilities.
First if its really a O2 phone try this rom:
latest O2 rom
If it works, you have an original NoDo rom installed.
If not, or you want more freedom at you phone do the following:
shut down the phone (e.g. remove battery & reinsert it in the phone)
start the phone & hold the volume down key to enter RUU
Check if the Text at the upper left is mentioned in this thread.
HSPL
e.g. PD29100 is mine, wich works
if yes download an install the xspl from the link and you will get the possibility to flash a HD7 rom you like
for information to flash xspl on your phone you need ActiveSync (WinXP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista & Win7)
if your PD number isn't supported at the moment, we need to talk again.

Thanks alot, the link you gave me of O2 worked like a charm . Thanks a million for spending your time for issue
Yes, the link you gave worked and i have flashed that new O2 rom with some restarts. Now every thing seems to be ok, but I have lost all my pics (not a prob)
But, as it belong to UK O2 it is not allowing me to use Indian sim card. can I have solution for this ? Will it work if I flash Asia ROM on my phone now ?
If not what could be the solution ? As you have asked me the Number which starts with PD
Her is what it shows on the boot (red) screen
PD29100 SS-BC (4k)
SPL-3.4.2250.0 (121027)
MicroP(LED) 0x07
Touch S1(v1.8,#1624)
Thanks again for your help, you made my day
Thanks and regards > code3h
Sorry, I forgot to inform you that flashing operations always perform an reset of the device.
Only the update process by zune prevent you from loosing you data & settings.
(and the new costum RUU's for Radio,... flashing)
with your PD29100 you can also use xspl by cotulla (see link)
with that you can flash also costum roms & every original HD7 rom you like to test.
We always taked about rom flashing and CID unlocking (xspl) to flash different roms.
sim unlocking is completely seperated from that.
to use other sim cards than the o2 (becaus it seems that you phone is o2 sim locked) you have to search the web for a service who can generate you a unlock code or go to the next phone shop that can sim unlock HTC devices.
sim unlocking costs money (at the moment) because there is no tool for that yet that can genaerate such codes for your HD7

[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
have a gr8 day

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...

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

ok
first turn off the phone
once phone is off ... press power button and volume down
you should then enter bootloader screen... tri colour

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 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

Bootloader not displaying connection mode -> broken?

Dear All,
I'm very new to flashing roms on Win Phone devices.
I have a HTC HD7 with SPL-5.11.2250.0 and would like to fully unlock/root my device so I can install any xap file I want.
I tried several exe files. first RUU_Schubert_HTC_EUrope..... and then with the DFT_RSPL/HSPL executables. Nothing worked so far, but I noticed that when booting up the phone with the volume-down button to get into the bootloader, this bootloader doesn't show me the connection mode anymore (serial or usb). Have I broken the bootloader somehow?
Problem is that nothing I'd like to do works. After having had the wrong RUU_Schubert....exe files I finally think I have found the right one for my system: RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar
But the problem is still that the setup program cannot connect to my phone: ERROR [260] ; Connection
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... What really makes me wonder is that the connection mode isn't displayed in bootloader anymore (previously it was always stated serial or usb, now it's just an empty white rectangle^^)
Anyone knows about that ?
Thanks alot!
Cheers, Oli
yours is SPL 5.11 , it cannot be flashed or downgraded by software methods which is why nothing u do is working
And yes i think u have also bricked yr bootloader in the process of trying different methods , most likely u choose the wrong DFT RSPL/HSPL version to flash
Using DFT HSPL/RSPL on original 4xxx and above SPL will brick it.
u need to use goldcard , y cable method to downgrade it to a version of spl that is 3xxx and below
SO now yr situation is that u have a bricked phone .
Meaning I cannot even do the goldcard trick as I do not have an sd card slot on my phone?

Yeah you can use the goldcard method. In fact you can typically repair a damaged/bricked bootloader with the goldcard method too. Luckily since only the serial/USB portion in BL mode is missing, the bootloader isn't damaged very seriously.
Use the goldcard method and flash a stock/shipped rom for your devices specific carrier. This should repair the bootloader and should also downgrade your spl and OS version as well, depending on what rom version you flash. At this point you can update through Zune to the current OS version. Then if you wanted to, you could use your goldcard to downgrade the spl and install rspl/hspl and flash a custom rom! Here's Shadows tutorial on how to downgrade spl, this will give you a background on how the process work and links to all the shipped/stock roms:

This gives a good view and idea on how to make the cable:

To unlock your device you have to downgrade your SPL to at or below 3.xxx and then install RSPL/HSPL and then you can flash a custom rom of your choice.
These are the only methods to downgrade your SPL -
1. Goldcard/ Y cable method - requires a Y cable, either home made or purchased. SD card and a card reader or a flash drive and download a goldcard tool and a stock/shipped Pre-NoDo/NoDo specific rom.
2. Zune restore point by Zubair- if you updated your device from a Pre-Mango state through Zune and still have the PC you did it on, then you can restore your device and then re-update it to Mango again and it will change your SPL to 4.xxx then you can use Shadows tutorial to finish downgrading the device.
3. SLSPL rom by Ansar - This works on Europe devices with firmware revision number .401 and can work on SIM unlocked TMobile devices.
Just follow Shadow's tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing roms. It has all the links for the above methods, stock/shipped roms and everything you'll need.
