Hi Guys,
Im currently in deepshining rom. unfortunately, all 7.5 roms are messing up my phone as it random restarts every time it's stressed a bit. like running 2 apps at a time. my bootloader is 3.xxx hspl. how do I go back to stock? nodo or any 7.0 rom.
thanks!
I've heard a couple people say that they've had the same problem with Deepshining rom, I personally haven't had that problem at all, one of the lucky ones I guess!
This is a list of the shipped oem roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Shipped_Roms
Once you go back to a shipped rom it changes your hspl back to spl, like factory original device. Have you tried nextgen or instrinic rom? I would recommend trying one of theses or both before reverting back to oem!
I haven't tried either one personally but hear nothing but good things about them being fast and light!
If you found this helpful please click the thank you button!
thanks man, you definitely said the words that I needed. anywho.. I tried some of the roms already however, I think it has something to do with 7.5 roms. I guess I'll be stuck with 7.0 below. nevertheless thanks for the help!
Well keep an eye out for updates on the custom roms, they might better support your device in future releases...with that said when you revert back to oem and update through Zune you can stop the update after mango before the last update which is HTC, that update upgrades your boatloader spl to 5.xxx or higher, then if you decide to go back to a custom rom you can just follow shadows tutorial again without having to do the goldcard method, unless you already have the set up for it!
If you found this helpful please click the thank you button!
alright. I was about to ask about avoiding goldcard. lol. thanks a lot man. you have been a great help. how do I change this post to [SOLVED] ?
Your welcome man... Glad I could be of help!! To change it to solved just click on go advanced, next to the edit post button and click solved. Did you revert back to oem shipped rom yet?

Just a couple of quick questions, have searched but couldn't find an answer.
Firstly, have been having a few problems with a lot of the custom ROMs I've been using recently, they usually work well for a while, then start going wrong. I've heard you're meant to flash a stock ROM in between each custom one, was wondering if that's true, as I've never seen it written anywhere. I flash using USPL if it matters. Currently using Dutty's Leo R5, which has also just started going wrong for me.
Also out of interest, how would I go about flashing a stock ROM? Same process as normal? And where would I be able to get the latest one from?
Cheers for any help.

I've never once flashed back to a stock rom in-between custom roms (and I've tried a few) .
But I have also heard that it works for some people having issues with flashing. If you are using uspl, then your stock spl is still intact and you should just be able to flash back to a stock rom (AFAIK in any case - sorry you can see I use hspl)
You can find many of the shipped roms (stock) here
Depending on the rom you choose and your current spl you may get the blue/green screen after the flash, but that would only be due to a rom/spl mismatch.
Thanks for the help, gonna flash a stable ROM for the next few days I think. Just one other thing I've been thinking of, I've got SPL 1.54 showing up in bootloader mode. You know if that's still the one you're supposed to use? Not sure if it should be 1.56?

Is it still 1.54.0000? This is actually an updated stock spl which you loaded when using uspl, so you should be able to just flash one of the later version stock roms. There is no need to downgrade your spl to your original (unless of course you need to return your phone for service)
1.56 is only as a result of using hspl and AFAIK there is no stock 1.56 version.

Ah that's alright then, yeah it is still 1.54.0000. I'd just seen something about SPL 1.56 mentioned, so I wondered if there was a newer version of that stock spl. I'll find another ROM to flash for now, seems like I've been doing everything right. Thanks again for your help.

Flashing back to stock ROM worked for me, my spl has bee upgraded since i started flashing (first one was Dutty 3.9XT). This solved many of my problems encountered flashing the latest Win 6.5 + Manila 2.5 ROMS.

What stock ROM have you been using? I've only been having problems with 6.5 roms, 3.9xt was the only one I've used so far that's worked flawlessly.

Fortunatly we are dealing with a form of Windows and as in any windows there is not so much difference. This means that it is silly to think that the same windows OS u installed is running as well or the same as to when u first installed it. We have to MAINTAIN it....
Think of ur phone rom as if it were a windows version on a regular PC. What happens after a few weeks is that it gets cluttered with unnused registry keys (even from installing and uninstalling apps), cache files, temp files and all other junk that gets installed by default. This means that u as a user have to clean it once in a while to get get rid of all this stuff that is going to make ur windows and thus ur phone slow after a while. Fortunatly there is help for us to do so. I use Pocket Mechanic and SKTools for this reason. Another thing is that u can look at the windows startup folder to see what is started. The less it is starting the faster and snappier ur phone will be..
I think it is also silly to think that u have to reflash a new rom every other day. I only flash a new rom if i see some major upgrades in the new one.
I hope this helps some...

All true, but some of us have this strange addiction that needs to be satisfied regularly....

Hallos ClydeB1,
If u enjoy flashing 4 roms a day to see if one or other rom will run better go right ahead, that seem to be a hobby in itself for some people. If thats is doing any good to you or ur HD ? Doubtfull but who am i to judge...
I just said that things don't have to go bad after a period of time becouse it doesn't have to be that way, u are the boss and not ur windows OS.

Hi i have a htc dream and rooted/flashed it to tmobile g1 with a hero rom. Now i'm selling the phone and would like to revert it back to my default rom as in how it was when i brought the phone.
how should i do about it?
Thanks!
I am guessing sense you have a hero rom you have Haykuro's spl, if you need to revert back to the orginal rom just go over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592662 , jonzina has the step's to follow, just follow to the T and you will be fine.
there is also a walkthrough at www.cyanogenmod.com in the wiki
pretty simple process. flash the rc29 dream.nbh and wait for an OTA update to get you up to date pretty much. just follow the steps in the wiki.
the problem is, mine is a singtel set, its not a t-mobile g1, its a htc dream though now it becomes g1 after rooting and rom. i want to revert back to before. can i still use the dream.nbh?
Just a heads up, if you have the 1.33.2005 SPL required for Hero ROMs and you use DREAIMG.NHB to downgrade, you will brick.
To avoid that:
1) Wipe then flash a ROM that does *not* require 1.33.2005, (eg Cyanogen Mod)
2) Flash the stock SPL as update.zip
i'm so confused now =/
edit:how do i check spl ver?
With the phone powered off, press and hold the camera button and power, which will bring you into bootloader mode...if you were running a hero rom, you should have 3 androids on skateboards at the bottom of the screen (1.33.2005 SPL)...if so, do what AdrianK said
ok! but i still can use the DREAIMG.NHB from t-mobile? as mine is the not the t-mobile set, mine is a singtel htc dream. able to use the same method?
Some people WANT custom roms on their phone and are scared to do it themselves. Im recommending Cyanogens rom because its so fast and stable. If I were you I would post it as is, that way it stands out from the 100+ other G1 sellers.
If you don't see the response you were looking for just update it and reinstall the stock one.... just my 2 cents.
haha..how you know i'm selling.. you are right maybe i should try what you suggested. anyway how do i change roms? my current hero rom is the my one and only one.. likey to be out dated and laggy. last time follow guide to root and flash, what about updating? just dl rom and flash? haha

This kinda gave it away.. lol. I also had a hero rom and hated it because it was soooo slow. Just follow the directions here and it will boot up and work 100%

Might wanna use 4.2.5. ROM at the moment though, users have been posting issues on the newest version, go here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/download/rom/update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip
wahahaha..so sorry.. didn't remember i mention before..ahahaha.. ok ok thanks! yeah my hero rom is abit laggy how bout those released now? any idea how to revert back to my singtel htc dream rom incase they prefer it that way?
thanks for your advise! sold my phone with cyanogen
Nice!!! Im glad I was able to help... get another G1 or other android phone.

I had a Palm Pre and was used to Preware for custom roms. Now I have an HD7 and want to install the Next Gen custom Rom. I have no idea on how to do that on these phones. I have done roms on my old Samsung Intercept Android and Palm Pre-.
Can anyone give me a quick run down on the method of madness of doing this.
Thanks in advance.

The very first thing you should need to do is flashing hspl or rspl to your device! follow this link and follow properly the instructions as it is.

So the bootloader needs to be rolled back to NoDo and try and recover it in Zune when it seems that it doesnt work for alot of people. Mango works great. I dont think this is worth bricking my phone when it is great already.
Bootloader only needs to be rolled back if it is 5.xx. If it is 3.xx or even 1.xx, just enter bootloader mode and flash RSPL, I recommend flashing HSPL immediately there after. Then all you need to do is enter bootloader mode to flash new Rom's.
Hi all
I have just got a HD7 from Ebay. It has not yet been upgraded to Mango so is on the original V1 SPL. I think I am correct in saying that if I upgrade to Mango the SPL will go to 5 and I will not be able to install custom roms.
Currently I do not want to install custom roms but may do in the future.
I want to be able to have Mango fully unlock so I can sideload apps etc but still leave my SPL in a state that I can install cutom ROMS later.
Can this be achieved and if so what steps do I take?
Thank you in advance.
tutorial here.
should also answer other questions.

mango and spl update are 2 different things .
U can upgrade to mango in Zune but stop when u see "HTC update" . This HTC update is the spl update and is the last step in Zune.
I have now flashed Nextgen+ but redlaser does not appear to work.
What I really want is a close to stock Mango ROM with no changes except FULL UNLOCK.
Is there a way I can get this?

Most custom roms are almost the same thing as stock rooms, with different themes and colours
Just that they come with bugs , if any.
Yes I wanted to avoid bugs. All I need is stock mango with full unlock. Adding all this extra stuff just increases the chance of errors.
Is there a mango custom rom without any extras just full unlock?

Hello All,
I've read a lot of forums as to installing custom roms and I'm still lost. I haven't tried anything yet cause I'm too chicken to experiment and possibly kill my phone. Long story short, I still would like to install a custom rom to mainly get free wifi tethering.
I noticed in most of the forums that the only way to even begin the process is to downgrade to SPL 4.xxx. I don't have a restore point in Zuncee cause my pc crashed a month ago. Is the only way for me to downgrade from 5.xxx to 4.xxx, is by the goldcard method or is there a work around? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,
I was in the same situation you are now! Last week on Tuesday I brought a HD7 from ebay and thought it would be as easy to install custom rom as my HD2.....after reading the forums here it was anything else! But still by Wednesday I had custom ROM on my phone (im using deepshining). The only method I tried and what worked was the Goldcard method. I made my own Y cable and followed the instructions on the Goldcard thread. I found this video on youtube quite useful as well!
Any questions just ask me ill try to help as much as I can. I did find it tough to work out at first but when you have a custom ROM installed its like a new phone!

There's nothing you can do, except gold card, it's safe and easy, no need to be afraid
Hi dcscorpio76,
I am currently also in the same boat as you.
I have SPL 5.12... and also want to downgrade.
I have no backup to revert to as i recently wiped my PC and never kept my old WP backups.
After lots of reading (and im still not 100% on the process so will likely read some more) I intend to downgrade my SPL and then flash an 'unlocked' version of UK trophy rom. From what i have read i think im going to have to use the 'gold card' method so i will be buying a few bits (cables, usb gender changer etc.) When i have all the things (i believe) i need i will write back here on what i do and where it gets me.
I have a £10 nokia that i still love and i wouldn't be all that bothered if i had to use it. Why not wait until i have flashed mine (over the next couple of days i think) so that you dont risk bricking your device that you may still rely on?
I dont totally dislike my WP, its just that i want to breathe a new lease of life into it. I would like to customise the UI and play with some homebrew apps.
One thing i dont really intent to explore is running apps that should be paid for in the marketplace as im a believer in paying a good price for good apps. So i wont be answering any questions on that.
If you have already gone ahead and tinkered i'd be interested in any info you may have.
Thanks

Alright guys,
So I am pretty much on the same scenario you guys are, I am coming from several rooted Android devices and expected this to be much easier
Here's my HTC info:
Name: HTC HD7
Model: HTC HD7
Carrier: T-Mobile
Software: Windows ® Phone 7.5
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Radio SW: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio HW: A.12.0.D4
Bootloader: 5.12.2250.0(135916)
I was reading this Thread but apparently I need to use a Y USB cable, in order to flash a Goldcard ROM since I first need to DOWNGRADE my Bootloader version. I am a bit more than lost when it comes to figuring out where to start. Just BTW: It is a stock build, the phone got the OTA update.
Ultimately I need to have a Custom ROM that supports Multiple Languages, as well as no carrier branding
Any suggestions, in plain english?

I am waiting for my HD7 replacement so might be in the same situation. Would it not be possible to enter bootloader and them flash pre nodo original rom?
Goldcard by viperbjk is the easiest and the safest method so far to downgrade our bootloaders....i was on 5.11 and I did the goldcard method and it went on smooth like butter!! I'm currently on bootloader 3.1(HSPL) and flashed the deepshinig v7.6 and I'm loving my phone right now
Just follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152
Good luck! And happy flashing!!
