bootloader downgrade - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My hd7 has a 7.5 WP version and i have a 5.xx bootloader version i want to downgrade my bootloader in order to flash a custom rom and i have a firmware version that ends with 707 so can i flash the rom founded on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1028398 to downgrade my bootloader version
Thank you in advace for your help

The provided link above doesn't work... I'm guessing that it's Ansar's SLSPL rom to downgrade from 5.xxx
The SLSPL rom is for Europe devices ending with firmware .401, yours is .707 which is HTC Asia operator, so it won't work on your device.
For your device with a 5.xxx BL, these are the only methods you can use to downgrade -

You're welcome!
Just so you know, when you download your Pre-NoDo/NoDo rom for the goldcard method there's 2 different Asia region roms.... You'll need to download one of the Asia WWE roms for your device.

Hi Jhonny,
Yes , i was followsh4d0w86 step by step instrunctios and go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904
after i downloaded RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_SLSPL_Signed_by_ansar i got the error message.
hi erezhavida
you get that error msg when rom is wrong region
you have to find earlier rom for your region
your Firmware number :2250.21.51003.206 last number...206 is your region
look for older stock rom ending in 206
try that....that should then downgrade your HSPL
cheers and have a gr8 day

hi...
I recently bought a new hd7 but while downgrade spl i half bricked my phone.
But using the goldcard method i was able to re alive my phone again.
you first see that what position is in your boot loader screen then you will use next methods. This goldcard method is for half bricked set where you will not see any serial option in bottom.
Your can use your device but can,not install rom anymore.

First you need HSPL or RSPL this is requierd to flash any custom rom or radio firmware.
your SPL version is 5.10 you have to follow this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904

right i flashed the RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.60.401.01_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE because in the rspl software there is a version for this spl
then you do rspl then you do hspl then you flash nextgen thats what i did what all worked fine for me
And if i brick my phone is there any way to fix it?!

so here's my question then !! The preNodo method only works with unbranded devices ??? like it won't work with a Tmobile HD7 USA ???
The Tutorial thread explains what needs to be done in the clearest way, if you haven't read it, check it out
Basically, if you have a Pre-Nodo backup in Zune, it shouldn't matter whether you've got a Branded or Unbranded device. If you don't have a pre-Nodo backup, and you're device is Branded and on SPL 5.xx (which from what i'm reading, your's is) then the easiest way to donwgrade SPL (and therefore have the ability to get a custom ROM on your phone) is to use this GoldCard method.

thanks,,,that made things clear...so since I currently have the 7720 ROM on my phone and the last backup is of December 1 2011...is it safe to assume that its NODO or Pre_nodo ?? Cos if it is I might go ahead with it...for some reason Goldcard method looks more vulnerable to bricking the device...(opinion)
Well i guess it depends when your device was updated to NoDo. I think it came out early last year didn't it? Like March/April? So a December 2011 backup is likely a post-Nodo backup and therefore you won't be able to use it.

I have a TMO w/5.10 BL and need to get the NoDo Rom for TMOUS w/BL 3.1.2250.0(119314). Unfortunately the link is for FileFactory and it moves like molasses and just times out. Anyone have another link for that ROM or know where a mirror might be? Thanks.

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.

[Q] deepshinning is possible with 4.x SPL?

Hi,
I am newbie. sorry for that. It tells me that I need flas a NODO rom first to Downgrade SPL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271118
I have mango with 4.x version.
1) I think I need to downgrade to NODO first?
2) "flash a NODO Rom first to downgrade SPL" - does flashing Rom means downgrading also? or I need to flas first and then I can only downgrade to 3.x, 2.x, 1.x versions?
3) which SPL version I need exactly? as I know I can flash Rom with 4.x as well. It is not sufficient?
4) Shubert is for flashing or downgrading based on the version if question one is not same?
5) I am in Europe -Germany but I use DE_O2. which version I should use? DE_O2 means O2 branded phones or if I use O2 as provider only. because my card is O2 but phone is not O2 branded.
thanks for the answers.
There is a thread that explains the answer to most of your questions, I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
Also, the wiki helped me a lot too, so search HTC HD7 on that. I still haven't been able to flash mine (problems with the microsd card reader, maybe).

From what I understand, by downgrading your ROM to an early version, you also end up with a downgraded bootloader. The OLD bootloader is the only one that is capable of allowing you to flash a custom rom such as Deepshining. In order to downgrade the ROM, you need to create a goldcard or use a similar method (there is a method for European devices that apparently doesn't require you to use a Y-Cable/Goldcard, here is the thread on that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904 but make sure you completely understand your options first).
Read the replies to see if anyone else had experiences with DE_O2.

[Q] noob

i know nothing about jailbreaking of this phone
can sm1 pls guide mee wat to do to make my phone giving mee good speed & customizations
Hi,
You have to find out what bootloader/SPL version your device has.
Go to settings - About - More - This will give you your bootloader version, Firmware Revision # and the device Info. If you post back the bootloader version and Firmware revision #, I can help you with what method to use and what Pre-NoDo/Nodo rom to use.
These are the steps -
1. Downgrade your SPL version to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install XSPL)
2. Install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL) to the device. (which is required to install a custom rom)
3. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
If your device is current and updated through Zune then the devices SPL is more than likely 5.xxx and you can only downgrade 5.xxx by these three methods -
1. Goldcard method - requires a Y cable, (either homemade or purchased online) a SD card reader, 1gb - 2gb SD card, and you have to download a Pre-NoDo/NoDo stock rom, goldcard tool and the goldcard image.
2. Zune restore point method - requires a Pre-Mango restore point through Zune. Meaning that you updated the device to Mango from a Pre-Mango version and still have the computer that you used to update the device with.
3. SLSPL method - requires to download the SLSPL rom and flash it to the device. This method is for Europe devices with Firmware revision # ending in .401 and can work on T-Mobile HD7 that is SIM/Carrier unlocked.
Follow Shadow's step by step tutorial on how to Downgrade SPL, flash XSPL and install a custom roms. It has all the links for the above downgrade methods and for all the stock roms and everything you'll need.
If you have any questions or problems just let me know.
Also this is a question and should be in the HD7 Q&A. Request to move thread.
