No as of right now it's not possible. I'm sure there's someone working on it since the HD2 is its predecessor and they both use the same chipset and are very similar in hardware, so there maybe a possibility in the future.

Really!?! WP7 has come along way since it's release and we will continue to see development on our device...windows 7.8 is just around the corner and so is windows 8.
Have you unlocked your HD7 and flashed a custom rom so that you can tweak and modify it?
I'm not sure when it will be released.. It took alot of time and work to get the HD2 to be able to duel boot and run Android on it.
If you can't wait and really don't like WP7 OS that much, then I would suggest to get the HTC Desire HD, which is basically the same device as the HD7 but runs Android OS or get the HTC HD2.

For the developer unlock program without the student ID, you would have to purchase it at like $99.00 for a years use and since you don't have a credit card that's probably not an option then.
To install XAP files your device does need to be unlocked to allow side loading of apps.
Flashing of a custom rom means to wipe and replace the factory OEM rom with a new custom rom that has been developed/created for our device specifically. There are many available that fully unlock our devices and allow for customization through registry tweaks and hacks, installation of XAP's and so forth.
Here's a couple of great custom roms for our HD7. Look them over and decide for yourself which one is best suited for you. There's more custom roms available also in the HD7 development section. I would suggest one that is running the Tango 8779 build as these will have the most features like export of contacts to SIM card, sending ringtones through SMS and so on.
Intrinsic rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1281482
Deepshining rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1271118
Nextgen rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1348710
To accomplish the installation of a custom rom though...you will have to follow Shadows excellent tutorial, step by step by downgrading you spl, flashing a non test, nodo or pre-nodo rom, Install rspl or hspl and then flash a custom rom. You have to follow all the steps or you can damage your device and brick it! If you need any help with it just let me know. Here a link to Shadows tutorial:

It depends on what your bootloader and spl are.
Put your device into bootloader mode by powering off the device. Hold down the volume key and power the device back on while continuing to hold down the volume key. This will bring you into bootloader mode a tri-colored screen. Copy down the information from the BL screen and post it back and I'll tell the next best step to go in.

Ok so you have a security unlocked bootloader... I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to keep that and flash a custom rom. What region are you in and what is your firmware numbers? Goto settings, about and more info

Ok. Well then you'll have to use the goldcard/ Y cable method. Unless you have a pre-mango back up in Zune. Meaning you updated your device to mango OS version and if so you still have the computer that you used to do it on.

The good thing is the Y cable is cheap and you can easily make it yourself and you need a flash drive or sd card reader. Here's a guide on how to do it:

Why in the first place you bought a WP7 device? I bought it because I don't like android very much, I don't despise it (that honor goes to the CrApple FailOS)
If you wanted Android, you should have bought any droid device, and you'll be happy.
Now, if you want android because of the "curiosity" or "experimentation"... Why you bought the HD7? the honor of running any Android version is for the Immortal HTC HD2.
Maybe you thought or somebody told you, that the HD7 has the same hardware as the HD2, which is true, the only problem and difference is the Windows Phone Bootloader.
The Bootloader, my friend is the one and only reason we can't have Android on any WP device... This answer has been repeated on these android threads a LOT.
If you want android so badly, sell the HD7 and get any Samsung, HTC, LG or whatever device fits your needs.
regards

nothing is impossible

No hard feelings brother
It's just out of my curiosity. I don't own this phone myself, though I do play around with phones, sometimes voluntarily and sometimes I'm paid to do so
One of my friends just exchanged his China-made Android phone with this one. Having known, and played with legendary HD2, I was wandering if people flashed it with droids already. And it seems like its not taken any step further towards the Androids
I should dig in further to see what others have achieved and what I can do, if I can get hold of the phone longer, though
I see xdrc45 and vivek555666 were heating this hard-ironed phone, what happened further.....
Lets all see, nothing is impossible, as they say

[Q] need help with roms and flashing?!

Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.
Thanks for any and all replies!
You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).
Then, you'll need to follow this thread

i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!
Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

thanks for your help!
Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.
I have the same problem
For example this rom :
[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed
How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?
i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live

Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.
I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?
I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.
Thanks in advance!

power off your device. hold volume down button. power on device.
what does the Multi-Color screen say?
pull battery to leave this screen.
RED SCREEN= PD29100 SS-BC (4K)
HSPL3.1.2250.0 (119314)
CotullaHSPL 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
GREEN SCREEN = SD SANDISK 15193 MB
Partition info -V211v413
Blue= nothing
White = serial
Is this a Tmous Hd7?
If it is. Here is the official nodo rom that will put you back on track to update through Zune to official mango.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183891
But at this point I'd just flash a custom rom to be honest with you. Already come developer/interop unlocked and most have additional themes added. I'm running the shining rom right now. Works/looks great and will have all the same mango updates as the official one plus a few more apps that aren't available in the official one.

Can you link me that ROm which you have ... ill try with it ..thanks on help :=) i hope you understand me good becausse mine english is bad :=)
Ok. Don't flash that one then. I'd still look into a custom rom though. The official rom would be in the hd7 development section. Not sure which one you would flash though. Might be tmo Europe not sure look in that thread.. Hd7 is called Schubert by HTC so that's how the ruu's are named. Changing sim wouldn't matter you have to match rom to specific hardware.

Yes i have a HD7 schurbert T9292 ,can i flash the newest mango rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272497 thats look good ,its for Europe ..."You must have RSPL/HSPL installed"what that means?
That one isn't an official rom if it needs hspl.
Hspl is an unlocked bootloader that allows you to flash custom roms.
You already have that installed.
I would just flash a custom rom at this point. New custom roms have all the updates plus more apps that wouldn't be available otherwise.
Here's a link to the rom I use. He says it's worldwide so should work.

Custom tones have to be in zune with the Genre set as ringtone.

Just create a genre in Zune called Ringtone then give the tones you want to use the same genre. I just googled "make custom ringtone mango" or something similar and found an easy tutorial.

Bell Unlock
Hi...
Ive have a sim unlocked HD7 phone since Sept 2011 using a Bell sim card.
The phone was bought in Toronto and was new when purchased..The Store clerk informed me it was a Telus phone originally.I too waited eagerly for the Tethering option to come in updates..The last update 7740 was supposed to include tethering...However it appears that the Providers have not allowed this to be part of the update.. Bell HD7..Rogers Samsung Focus.. It seems we will have to do our home work here at XDA and use one of these great Roms here that include tethering.. LOL i just have not got up the Dingles to attempt it...
Hope this helps....
thanks bron! I have to say I am really amazed at how b(h)ell cripples these phones! no wonder no one likes going with them or thier service! why on earth would they wanna leave this out when there is money to be made! man they're stupid and bad business minded! and I agree with ya, I would luv to install one of these great roms but I dont have the patience nor dingles to do so!
btw I forgot to mention in my rant that I'm with ROGERS! the fone is a bell fone tho...
Rant
Lol dosn't matter Im with bell no tether..
My Daughters phone is with Rogers no Tether for her focus... Both phones Mango 7740..
The Rant Continues..........
Geez guys, get the phones unlocked, downgrade your spl and start installing custom roms. I've got a bell hd7, I got it unlocked, and used the information in the forums to downgrade sol, and install custom roms. Most custom roms offer tethering. If you follow the instructions you LL be good.. feel free to pm me for any questions or info

Nalgrim,
thanks. There are many Bell HD7 users who have a hard time going through the info looking for details as the Bell stuff is limited.
What do you consider to be the best Rom for Bell users who want to be up to date and have the option of tethering ?
Also, where is our best starting point if we have the most recent 7740 update ? Do we have to go all the back to a NODO factory rom to go to a custom ?
uhm, well its personal choice the "best rom" i've tried eburon, intrinsic, deepshining, dft v2, and nextgen.i am currently on nextgen v2.1, and am downloading the newest version 2.2, I did like deepshining as well.
ill find the links for the guides, and post them, ive uploaded the roms I ve used to my megaupload account, i'll post the links if you guys want to use the "same" files. I dont know how fast it would be for someone to download from megaupload as a guest. go to megaupload and sign up for a free account.
i will try and find a copy of my info before i downgraded.

That would be great
I'm still a little confused on the spl thing as well. I have 4.5.2250

**Edit**
Took the dive and it was VERY easy when following the rules listed on the thread I posted.
@be_man36. what's your spl? Put it into bootloader by power off and power back on and hold volume down. After just battery pull. And what mango are u on 7720 or 7740

I'm on mango 7740 and my bootload is 4.XX and I dont have the balls to downgrade or mess around with my phone! LOL I know sucks to be me
be-man
It was really easy after reading.
follow the link I posted. Make sure you have a good to full charge. Took less than 60 seconds to downgrade the SPL
after that you are free to use any custom rom you want.

[Q] Htc hd7 OS:7.10.7740.16

Hi,
I have a HTC HD7 and it is currently
os: 7.10.7740.16
im trying to unlock it using ChevronWP7
i dont realy know what i am doing but it cannot conect to my phone
after reserching i belive my Os version is too high
how can i overcome this?
sorry if this is a stupid question
Thanks
Alex
First of all.. read more. Much more. ^^
1. You shouldnt flash if you dont know what you're doing.
2. If this is the case. Read more through forums (most in general and development section) about flashing,downgrading SPL,DFT's tool, and stuff like that.
In short:
First of all there are many ways to crash your device. To flash any rom you need to use DFT's tool. But if you are on 4.x or 5.x its mostly recommended NOT to flash any rom. 1.st goal is to get to bootloader version 1.x 2.x or 3.x.
DFT tool -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196261
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904 this thread. Its just great becuase i was stuck on a custom rom with bootloader 5.10.x.
You have to make sure what bootloader you got, becaus there are alot different threads about downgrading SPL if you are on 5.10.x, 4.x or 3.x 2.x 1.x. READ THEM^^ because you might get a dead brick after flashing if you do it wrong.
-Some use a "goldcare method" (search for it and yep as you guessed.. read it)
-I was happy i could just use ansars rom and flash back to original stock schubert hd7 rom.
oh and the chevron only works with ("earlier") NoDo versions. (if you dont know what it is read about it )
v7403 or something. That version is some months ago. ^.^
Developer Interop unlock + Max number unsigned apps + prevent relocking are other things you might want to read.
Oh here is some thread you have to read! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18244911
thanks a load^
i will look into it
thanks

Its working!!!!
I managed to install custom ROM !!!
THANX!!!
i didnt want to start a new thread, however, had couple of questons, im ready to install a custom rom for my sons' HTC HD7 and had a few concerns,
1. based from your experience, which is the most stable custom rom for the hd7 (Tmobile US)
2. i'm looking for one that carries the sound enhancer application.
I saw guides but it seems a lil confusing to install a custom rom for htc hd7. For instance the bootloader is currently 5.10.2250.0 and the OS version is 7.10.7720.68, anything special i need to do ? Thanks and sorry for noob questions,!!!

1. to my knowledge, all the Custom ROMs for the HTC Schubert are unbranded. being they aren't setup for any one MO. you would use Connection Setup to setup your device for TMo.
2. i have only used my Custom ROM, intrinsic, but i would assume each of the Custom ROMs have Sound Enhancer pre-installed.
3. see the tutorial. i just updated the post to downgrade OSPL 5.xx with Y-Cable.
Guess I need to order those items in order to flash since I don't have any of those handy

if yr bootloader is 4.5XX, u need to flash a older rom first like a nodo and before . But check if its supported under DFT RSPL/HSPL
eg. 1.54 is best to flash because thats a nodo rom and 1.54 is a bootloader that is supported under DFt RSPL/HSPL
< Bootloaders 1-3XX will allow u do do anything ( totally free , provided they are versions that are supported under DFT RSPL/HSPL )
4.XX bootloader which allow downgrade by flashing of older rom but do not allow DFT RSPL/HSPL on it ( partially locked)
5.xxx does nto allow downgrade or DFT RSPL/HSPL. ( basically u cannot do anything with it , its totally locked down)
custom roms dont contain any bootloader.
Hello, guys.
I have HTC HD7 T-Mobile. I need to repair it. The body doesn't provide any sounds/vibrations on power button. The last that someone did was flashing unknown rom and it failed on radio item.
The phone is unrecoverable?
Thanks.
