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] Flashing CUSTOM ROM Newbie Help

Hi xda-developers community,
sr if this question is anoying but i tried to find a answer for it but the only things i was able to find out that some errors occured. But not if Succes or Failed.
I want to developer unlock my HD7 via custom rom.
Here are my System Infos:
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 2250.21.51101.401
Hardware: 0002
Bootloader: 5.11.2250.0(134578)
Chip-SOC: 2.2.5.0
I have noticed that the bootloader is my main problem. I first need to downgrade. Problem no Synco Save via Zune (damaged HardDisk).
So is there any actual way to successfully downgrade my HD7 to a version to be able to install a Custom Rom?
And another question is, when really accomplished to flash a custom rom, is it possible to update via Zune or does this recover to normal rom?
Thx for ur advices to a noob with WP7.
nice regards Synergi

welcome to customization

Thx for Link, but before i proceed i need a little bit more information pls.
1) For what i need to download task 00 & task 29? In ur tut they are never used again? Or did i missed anything?
2) Next is in ansar.ath.gr's tut he tells not to install after downgrade a custom rom with 5.10 Bootloader. Is this ment to if i install a stock ROM with this version that downgrage would loose because i install this bootloader again? (sr for bad english)
3) difference between RSPL & HSPL. as i read the RSPL is only active until restart and the HSPL is fixed. So with the RSPL i can try if everything works correct and the Cook it with the HSPL is this correct?
4) What kind of customs roms can i use for a HTC HD7 Europe/Austria A1???

he says to not install a 5.xx ROM so you avoid putting yourself in the same position you were in before.

Hello XDA Community,
i need a little bit ur help x) As usual.
I followed ansars Guide to downgrade my spl. This worked successfully. Tricolor screen says:
PD29100 MFG SS_BC (4K)
SPL-1.57.2250.0(113571)
MicroP(LED) 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
When RomUpdateUtility finished an error occured which said that a file is curroped. But Phone rebooted successfully.
First Question was this just a tiny bug or went sth wrong?
Secound Question is: I wanted then to continue installing custom ROM. I used DFT_RSPL to get rspl to flash unsigned custom rom. DFT successfully run trough but phone didn't reboot and no RSPL still SPL. And HSPL cant continue. So my problem is i cant get RSPL to work. What am i doing wrong?
nice regards
Synergi

i hadn't ever used ansar's SLSPL before...
i suggest flashing Shipped pre-NoDo or NoDo ROM for your device.
maybe will 'fix' whatever went wrong with SLSPL.

ok thx. actually im downloading pre-nodo 1.54 Europe SPL. Sadly Rapidshare free is actually really slow 30Kb/s
When finished downloading i will try to flash this Version over Ansars and then RSPL -> to flash custom ROM.
Thx for ur advice.

Success !!!
After ansars SPL i just had to flash a stock ROM. I choosed PRE-NODO 1.54 Europe and then i was able to RSPL and finally flash a Custom ROM.
Really thx for all ur help.
What im now interested in is, which is the best Custom ROM? Or better asked which is not the best, but which should I prefer?
I want as many possibilities as possible.
Actually im having DeepShine Custom ROM active but i want to look trough of the top to make a decision which i will take for further use.
Can someone maybe tell me which is his favourite and why?
And another question is -> whith the custom rom installed am i able to update via zune or shouldn't i do that? (If not how can i sync with zune and prevent zune to update my phone)
nice regards Synergi

As i now read through a little bit of the custom roms available, i think i will go with Nextgen+ It sounds like a good work for me x) If u have any other suggestions pls let me know thx

Custom ROM choice is all about personal preference.
the top Custom ROMs seem to be:
in alphabetic order: Deepshining, Dynamic7, intrinsic, NextGen+

As i have now the Custom ROM NexrGen+ active i have a problem again x) As usual sr XDA Community.

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:

Be careful with just trying to flash rom versions, you can damage the bootloader and brick you device.
What is it that you are trying to do exactly?
Are you wanting to install a custom rom?
What method are you trying to use?
With a 5.xxx bootloader you can only use the goldcard/ Y cable method to flash your device and downgrade your SPL, unless you have a pre-mango Zune backup/restore point on your computer, then you can use that also to downgrade you SPL.
Let me know what your trying to accomplish and I'll try and help you!

Hi, xdrc45
Exactly I want to install Nextgen 3.4.
I'll trying to install official rom & and custom rom too.
In my planes firstly roll back to earlier versions (because HSPL installer says that required version firmware is not higher 1,6.....), then install HSPL & finish by installing Nextgen 3.4.
Can you help me step by step what I need to do?
Many many thanks for the any help!

You have to lower/downgrade your SPL to at or under 3.xxx to install RSPL/HSPL then flash Nextgen.
With 5.xxx SPL you can only downgrade your SPL in two ways.
1. Goldcard/ Y cable method, requires you to make a "Y" cable made out of 2male and 1 female USB cables and you need a SD card reader/flash drive.
2. Pre-Mango restore point, (Zubair's method, in Shadows tutorial) meaning you upgraded your device from a pre-Mango version to Mango and to you have the computer that you did it on.
Follow Shawods tutorial here, it explains all the above, How to downgrade SPL, flash XSPL and install a custom rom.

You'll have to SIM unlock the device to get it to work on your network carrier. There are online sites that charge a small fee and will have your device SIM unlocked in a couple hours to a day. Unfortunately flashing a rom won't SIM unlock the device.
When you get the device go to - Setting - About - More - this will give you the devices Bootloader version, Firmware Revision Number, Radio version and other information such as OS version but those are the important ones you'll need.
The last 3 digits of the Firmware Revision # will give you the network carrier that it's locked to for sure. Bell Mobility = .666
Since its Bell carrier you'll need to download a Bell Mobility Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom to downgrade the SPL and use it with the goldcard method to downgrade the SPL.
To flash a rom you'll have to follow these steps -
1. Downgrade the devices SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL)
2. Install RSPL and HSPL = Flashing XSPL
3. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
Just follow Shadow's tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing a custom rom -

Luckily yes!
You just have to download and install RSPL/HSPL while the device is in bootloader mode.
Read through the DFT XSPL post carefully to avoid damage to the device.
Then download and flash the custom rom of your choice while the device is in bootloader mode

Before you start trying to flash the device... Make sure you have ActiveSync install for windows XP or windows mobile device center for Vista/7 on your PC, this allows for the proper drivers to be installed. Then you'll want to plug the device into your PC into and let the drivers install. Once that's done put the device into bootloader mode and connect it to the PC again and it will install the Qualcomm drivers. This will change the white section in bootloader mode from "Serial" to "USB" and now your ready to start flashing!

i downloaded tried to run xspl following the link but the it says my hd7 model ID is not supported. Mine is a bell hd7 ( just unlocked using codes order online) with information as
PD29130
SPL-2.16.2250.0

error msg when running xspl:

Your device is supported use the Newest version Revision #3 here -
http://htcfanboys.com/download/cotulla/?action=view&file=2942
As far as the rebooting I'm not sure....that can be caused from multiple things. Hopefully after flashing the device it will take care of it.
When in bootloader mode is there any other information displayed on the screen?
Other than
PD29130
SPL 2.16.2250.0

thank you so much for the info. i will try it when i get home. the rebooting problem seems to have lessened after sleeping on it for a night. it's strange though. anyway, i will try to flash the rom to see if it elimates the problem.
yes, on the tri color screen, it shows other lines as well which i don't have a club what they are.
i will let you know what's going to happen .tks again.

it still didn't work. phone is recognized but there isn't 2.16 spl so i choose 2.10. it didn't work, then i tried 2.56 , it still didn't work. after the sussful msg, i took out the battery and then restart the phone going into tricolor state, its still spl, not rspl. any ideas, thanks ...

i just noticed that the tricolor screen has " MNG" in the spl version line. i remember the DFT software says to make sure no MNG is displayed in the message. i guess the DFT method does not work with my HTC HD7. now what i do? thank you,

It should still work even with the MNG.
I would try and run RSPL/HSPL again. Sometimes it doesn't work the first time. Run the RSPL wizard and select the 2.10, The device should stay in bootloader mode and say RSPL, if it doesn't change run the wizard again and it should work. Then while it's still in bootloader mode run the HSPL wizard and select the closest version to your RSPL 2.1
Once you install RSPL don't pull the battery or it will reset and go back to OSPL.
