[Q] New HTC Update For Windows Phone - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right so i've just updated my HTC HD7 with the new update, anything new so far......erm.....nope. Could it be possible that something has been added without me knowing, does anyone know what the new update has done?

I got the same update. Cant find anything new except for the annoying stock bookmarks being added back.

Does in change anything in About page ???

what does Settings -> About say?

well my about page says:
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revisiong number: 2250.21.51202.707
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 5.12.2250.0(139198)
Chip SOS version: 2.2.5.0
That's just about it, anything new?

nothing looks new. : / least not from what has already been known.

Bootloader Upgraded
from 5.11.2250.0 to 5.12.2250.0
Firmware shows change from
2250.21.51101.707 to
2250.21.51201.707
Nothing else obvious... attentive phone, sound enhance still AWOL.
FWIW, HTC Mozart got the same bootloader update.
Maybe a prep for Tango?

You have to revert back to a pre-nodo rom(7004). Unlock with chevron. Apply the prevent relock hack. Upgrade back to nodo(7392) via zune. Then install touchxplorer and setup a custclear.provxml in the windows directory to unlock mango(7.1.7661) if you wanted to upgrade to mango beta. If not your now unlocked on nodo
All info for this is under windows phone 7 dev. and hacking forum

[Q] Phone region and version help.

I got my HD7 which was listed as 'New' from an eBay shop in the UK. Everything is fine on the phone but noticed the location was set to Australia as default. I changed these to UK, but I cannot change the keyboard setting as the only option is 'English - US'. I also went to the radio settings and all I can choose is 'North America, World and Japan'. Does this make any difference to the radio? It does seem rather poor and can only pick up one station which is BBC Radio 1 and even that is hit and miss.
The 'about' page has this information;
HTC HD7 T9292
OS Version: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.30102.707
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 3.1.2250.0(119314)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
I've no idea on flashing phones and was going to wait for official Mango update but was just hoping someone could confirm the phone is 'normal' and that flashing to another ROM won't make any significant difference. If it will then I have a lot of reading to do
Thanks

No, not receiving but if you don't want to wait use cabsender (offline) to update your firmware. I use stock RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_Radio_5.71.0 9.02a_22.51.50.21 which I have recooked leaving everything like stock but with full unlock. After flashing the recooked rom I've used cabsender to update to my native language (dutch) and the 7.10.7740 update cab. HSPL didn't change and I've kept my full unlock. Current firmware 7.10.7740.16 revision firmware 2250.21.51004.401 radio 5.71.09.02a_22.51.21u
In your case it is best to downgrade your spl and to hspl first and to do an offline update with cabsender because of the risk to end up with a 5.X bootloader which can't be hspl'd at the moment and a downgrade is also impossible with that bootloader.
Also when starting with your rom revision you will probably won't get internet sharing in settings. I've tried that with the same rom revision and hspl, and after the offline 7740 update with cabsender I ended up with the 7.10.7740.16 revision .... without the internet sharing in settings.
Thanks for the hint, and as although I haven't received yet the official Zune notification, I'd prefer to continue waiting for it. I hope I’ll continue being patience!
Thanks again.
I just got the 7740.16 MS update but not yet the HTC firmware update.

Hi BetoX,
I have the same software version and recently installed 7740.16, but no HTC update.
Contacted HTC support a few times,
1st answer was 'The Internet Sharing option is only for new devices that ship with Windows Phone 7.5' wtf!
2nd answer was 'We do not have official confirmation as to whether your device will receive this update'.
Contacted WindowsPhoneSupport next,
they said the Internet Sharing update is determined by Mobile Operator and OEM, it has nothing to do with them.
If HTC requires Mobile Operator approval for this feature update, this could mean there's no unbranded firmware to come.
We may need to rebrand to either T-Mobile or O2.
Don't know where to begin on that, just need to make sure the phone remains unlocked because I'm not on either of those networks.
Picked up my HD7 on eBay, it arrived unbranded and unlocked to work with Wind Mobile up here in Canada.

So, I decided to install since my Zune app prompted me to upgrade. Nothing (almost) changed. I see not a different functionality change and they only 'visible' change is on the Firmware revision.
BEFORE: Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51003.531
AFTER: Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51004.531
Nothing else changed (radio, bootloader, OS, etc.)

At the step where I have to download a Nodo or Pre-Nodo firmware, can I download any of those provided in the list for TMOUS as I have a T-Mobile US unlocked phone?

yes, as long at it is a the same 'branding' as your 'stock' device.
so, if your device is TMOUS branded then any Pre-Mango TMOUS should be fine.

[Q] camera not working properly after windows phone update

Hi, I am using HTC HD7 which is locked to O2 UK. It was fully functional but after a recent update via the Zune software I have noticed that the camera preview has become distorted (like the negative preview of a film camera). I took a couple of pictures and copied them to my computer and the pictures are distorted too (see attached picture). same with the video. I've tried the hard reset but this didn't solve the problem. I don't think it's a hardware issue as the phone didn't suffer any physical damage. Is anyone out there has the solution to this problem or is there any way I can go back to the previous version (unfortunately I don't have any backup of the previous version)? If the question has already been asked and answered can you direct me to the thread? The current details are as below:
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51101.206
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 5.11.2250.0(134400)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
