Problem installing HTC HD7 HSPL / RSPL

Hello to all ..
My problem is that here ..
In a few words I wanted to install in my HTC 7392 with node HD7 SPL Bootloader 4.5 and unlocked the rom modified mango ..
but before you do anything, I had to install HSPL / RSPL in my HTC HD7 ..
I downloaded the "DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1"
I followed a guide ..
MAH reached the point of selecting the SPL, the list of the program reached only up to 3.4 ..
so my HD7 being with SPL 4.5 you could not do so I tried to install the 3.4 "I did na bull****" ..
so going forward I get an error in the program where it was impossible to go on ..
So I unplugged the HD7 and I tried to do it again ..
MAH OSPL when I open "volume down and power button" not come out as written, but all I get only one written with the words "SS-BC PD29100 (4k) ..
What has happened? knows someone explain why?
I already tried to do the backup but nothing = (..

What does the spl screen say when your in bootloader?
Sounds like you have the 4.xx version.. If that's the case you need to flash an official nodo rom first. The hspl doesn't support spl's 4.xx yet.

if your Bootloader does indeed only have one thing written on it...
then you have half-bricked your device.
according to cotulla, here, it is impossible to recover such devices.
though...
according to dj.95, here, you can recover your device using the goldcard method.
good luck.

But you have to worry about?
What are the consequences?
Is serious?

you didnt read the instructions that are in giant bold letters all over those threads...you had spl 4.5 and tried to install the hspl. youve unfortunately half bricked your phone and currently it looks like it may NOT be fixable at all. try the gold card method listed above, i havent done it or read the thread but briefly but it looks like it may be a work around. unfortunately tho youre phone is BBQ'd.

i don't thing with the goldcard method we recover our device! my device work ok, but don't go to boot usb host mode because bootloader is half bricked! then no gold card works...
(or maybe it's me, that does not access the USB host mode?) ( camera + vol- + power?)

Half bricked possibilities
Hi friends. Do you really know anybody, if goldcard, Zune HTC update, JTAG or something another can solve hb problem? I am also in the "warnings late reading ignorants" club from last weak. But, I got a reply from a single "Half Bricked repairing" service near of Central Europe (GSM-TechNix.de): "Dear Sir, HTC 7 Pro is no Supported by JTAG! Sorry we can not help for this Phone." I have a little idea - to replace only internal information about bootloader version (I have no info on tricolore, but 3.2.2250.0 in Settings/about), connect to Zune and replace HTC update, if it is depend by this number. Is it possible? I have unlocked phone with pre-nodo (older backup has deleted by Zune), then HTC debug application or some homebrew features for values writing can work.
(From another forums:
_________
"Just updated my half bricked phone(bootloader problem) via Zune with HTC update for Windows Phone and the bootloader hasn't been fixed, so our only chance is with XTC Clip or DFT to come with a solution
Actually I got the same problem using an HTC Trophy A1 Version."
________
"For now your/our phone(s) are half-bricked. But as soon as a new update is available - including a new Radio Version everything will work fine again. Had the same problem when debranding my phone. After updating to 7932 via Zune everything was fine again - until I applied the leaked Mango Update.
So again - be patient "
________
"If your device is halfbricked you can use the goldcard method to recover your phone. If it's full bricked you need to make a jTag."
________
"Goldcard cannot repair halbricked WP7 phone."

). Thanks for replies, sorry for my english. M.

[Q] Help regarding flashing hd7

Im a newbie in the world of Windows phone...
Can anyone help in giving a tutorial regarding how to flash my HTC HD7 with custome ROM's..
What are the requirements required..And the specifications..
Plz help me...

First you have to downgrade your spl to at 3.xxx or below. Then flash rspl or hspl to your device, then you can flash a custom rom! Just follow shadows tutorial here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
If you enter into bootloader and post your information back from the screen, can help walk you through it! To enter bootloader, phone off, hold down the volume button and power the phone back on while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into bootloader mode a tri colored sreen.

Ok with spl 5.xxx you have to use the goldcard method. Unless you have a backup through Zune... Meaning, did you upgrade the hd7 through Zune from pre mango to mago version?

I had updated today...its now windows 7.5

What is goldcard u mentioned...is this a different method other than u mentioned before...
And one more thing do u get balance notification after call or txt msg..,because im not able to get it...

Goldcard is one of the only methods of downgrading your spl from 5.xxx without having a backup. Goldcard, you need to make a Y cable out of USB cables and have a sd card reader to complete the process!
Not sure what you mean by balance notification?
Oh do you mean like phone credit balance? Are you on a pay as you go plan? Im on contract with month to month billing and get notification when my bill is due and can view my usage through my carrier account!

No I don't get notifications... I'm pretty sure it has to do with the update and I don't think there is a way to turn it back on either!

That's good... We can do the spl downgrade without the Goldcard method then. So when your ready just let me know, I'll walk you through the process and we will have you running a custom rom in no time!

But after windows update to 7.5, my spl is 5.XXX, n for 5.XX goldcard method is required right...

This bootoader details,
PD29100 SS-BC(4K)
SPL-5.11.2250.0
MICROP(LED) 0*07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition info-v211v413
what i sent was after my full update to 7.5...
And you quoted as i requires gold card method...Now how you ae saying it does not require goldcard.... Cann you explain in brief please...

Typically with a spl of 5.xxx or higher you would have to use the Goldcard method. But if you have a pre mango backup you can restore your phone through Zune, connect device to Zune - phone - settings - restore. It will restore your device to before the update, then re update the phone again through Zune like your upgrading to mango again. But this time once the Mango update happens (the phone will reboots twice after the update is applied, once for changing the spl and once for loading Mango) The spl is changed to 4.xxx that's when you stop the update and unplug the phone, you have to do this before the last update is applied which is the 7740/HTC Firmware Update, if you apply that too, it will change your spl to 5.xxx again, so you have to stop after the Mango update and then you can follow shadows tutorial for spl 4.xxx downgrade. Plus it will show you in the update box on the computer what update step it is on, so it's really easy to do! This is the same process that I used to downgrade my spl from 5.xxx to 4.xxx, then I finished using shadows tutorial to do the rest! The whole process took about and hour to fully complete and to have Deepshining rom installed on my device!

Why im not able to jail break my phone..When i run jail breaker, it say's phone is not connect through USB or Zune is not open..Though phone is cnnected through USB and Zune is open..
Should the phone be unlocked for it...Or it will work without unlock...

Make sure your phone is plugged into the computer when trying to get the restore point. Should be select, phone - settings - update (Zune should check for an update and say, no updates availabe) and then there should be a restore button towards the bottom of the update box. If it's not there then you must not have a pre mango backup for it and you will have to use the Goldcard method to do it which is pretty easy once you have the Y cable put together and a sd card reader! Here's a pretty detailed tutorial for the Goldcard method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152

Then there is no backup i feel, because no restore button is displayed....
I wanted to know without unlocking the phone like mine..Can we do jailbreak....

Hi,hope this is the right place to ask this. I bought this HD7 last week from Ebay and it's current specs are;
Software: Windows 7.5
OS: 7.10.8107.79
Bootloader: 5.11.XXX
Zune is saying there's an update available,haven't updated yet though.
So my question is,I want to install the Deepshining rom,do I do the following;
Flash the NoDo rom as listed in the Q&A section of the Deepshining thread,via bootloader,to downgrade SPL.
Flash RSPL via bootloader,then immediately flash Deepshining rom.
Is it that easy,or am I missing something (or everything !) Have flashed loads of roms on phones in the past with no bother,but this seems dodgy to me as I keep seeing the word 'brick' and that scares me a bit.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

Wish it was that easy...lol! Sounds like you understand for the most part, but with the bootloader of 5.xxx there are really only two options for being able to flash a custom rom.
1. A pre-Mango backup/restore point on your p/c. Which since you just got the device won't be a possibility for you.
2. The goldcard/Y cable method. Which is really easy and inexpensive! You can build you own cable or purchase one.
Check out Shadows tutorial, he explains the whole process and steps to flash a custom rom.

Your HD7 is semi/small bricked then.
You will have to use the goldcard/ Y cable method to repair the bootloader.
This is the basic idea of what you'll have to do:
Use the goldcard/ Y cable method and flash a stock/shipped rom for your devices specific carrier, through USB host mode. This should repair the bootloader and depending on what stock/shipped rom you use it might downgrade your SPL and OS version, which your SPL has to be at or below 3.xxx to install RSPL or HSPL (which is required to flash a custom rom) and then you can flash a custom rom via bootloader mode.
Look at Shadows tutorial, (below) it explains how to downgrade SPL, flashXSPL and install a custom rom and he has a link for all the stock/shipped roms. Read through it and then click on the goldcard link and that will explain on how to use the goldcard/ Y cable method. You have to make or purchase a Y cable and need a flash drive/card reader, download the goldcard tool and a stock/shipped rom. It's pretty easy to do, let me know if you need any help or have any question.

Try this, these are problems that usually cause it to get stuck in USB host mode
Sometimes if the Y cable is too long in length it won't work properly in transferring the data.
There are 2 .nhb files, so make sure your downloading the correct .nbh file (ruu_signed.nbh) and rename the ruu_signed.nbh to SCHUIMG.nbh Has to be capitalized letters when renaming the file.
Make sure the correct ends are plugged in where they should be.
Sometimes the camera button will get stuck in and prevent the device from flashing correctly.
Make sure the SD card is wiped clean and place the file inside the SD card and patch it with the goldcard tool.

There both great roms and there both on the 8779 build... I'm a huge fan of the Deepshining rom though, it has some cool extra features and the new USB video output.
Did you install RSPL or HSPL? If you installed HSPL all you have to do is enter bootloader mode and flash the rom, so it's really easy to switch from one rom to another if you want.

[Q] Not downgrading at all

Ok guys, I'm finally biting the bullet and I'm gonna ask you guys. Been through too many forums and none have worked. So I bought my HD7 off my friend who has had it since before Mango. He updated it before he gave me it.
The attached pics have the specs on them.

It is an O2 UK locked phone. The 16GB model.
Every time I try to downgrade the SPL I end up with some kind of error. Mostly Error 260 or if it's different, it'll be close to that number. It always says stuff like communication error and connection error. I'll get more specific details on the errors tomorrow but long story short, nothing works.
Is there anyone out there with a similar problem or who knows how to fix this?
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm being a noob,
Huzi

Also, can a mod move this to Q&A? Just realised where I've posted. My bad.

Ok.
Not sure what method you're trying to downgrade with.. I'll give you a run down on them and how it works.
Your SPL has to be at or lower than 3.xxx to install RSPL/HSPL, (which is required to install a custom rom) once that's achieved then you can install a custom rom of your choice.
Theses are the only methods available to downgrade SPL 5.xxx
SLSPL by Ansar- If your trying this method it won't work, your firmware revision # doesn't match, it has to .401
Goldcard/ Y cable method - Requires a Y cable, either home made or purchased, a card reader and a clean/wiped small 1gb to 4gb SD card formatted to FAT32 (larger gb cards will work but have to be formatted to FAT32 and partitioned) or a flash drive and download the goldcard tool and a stock/shipped Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom.. The card reader works better though. Putt the rom on the SD card, patch it with the goldcard tool, put the device in USB host mode, connect the Y cable and the flash process will begin. Your spl should be lowered to 3.xxx or lower, then you can install RSPL/HSPL and flash a custom rom. Tutorials here:

Zune restore point. Since your buddy had the phone before Mango, you can restore the device to a Pre-Mango state,(you will have to use the computer he did it on) this won't downgrade the SPL, but the re-update process process through Zune will change the SPL to 4.xxx just before it reinstalls Mango. The key here is, the device has to be updated all the way back to Mango and the device will reboot twice, once to change the SPL to 4.xxx and once to install Mango, at that point you have to stop the update process before the the next update is installed which is the HTC Firmware update, if you install that then it will change the SPL back to 5.xxx. Once the device is back on SPL 4.xxx then you can flash a stock/shipped Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom (via bootloader mode) and lower the SPL to 3.xxx or lower, install RSP/HSPL and then flash a custom rom.

Ansar's method failed bit time. I was rather hoping to not go down the y cable route but it looks like I'll have to try. The reason I didn't wanna do it is coz I cannot strip down wires to save my life Although I didn't know you could purchase one. The Zune restore wouldn't work either coz his computer died a while ago (the psu blew) and he just threw it out without realising he could have kept the hard drive. Also, is the goldcard method different to the y cable method or is the y cable the way to use the goldcard tool?

Basically they are the same...The Y cable is used for the goldcard method, but you can also use just the Y cable method without patching the rom with the goldcard tool. Seems as thought the goldcard method is more successful.
You can check on Amazon to purchase the Y cable, should run around $5

Ok so I tried the Ansar's method once again and I'm getting an error 260. I've tried restarting and even factory resetting the phone and restarting my PC as suggested but that didn't work. Any ideas?

Do you have windows mobile device center installed on your PC? It installs the proper drivers for the device to sync to the PC.
Make sure that the drivers installed properly for the device when it's in bootloader mode. It installs a different set of drivers for it in bootloader mode than when the device is just on and synced to the PC.
Error 260 is open connection error.
Try this.. click on the .nbh file, drag and drop it to the RUUwrapper, (it should highlight and say "open file with") the RUUwrapper will open and follow the prompts on the screen.
Hopefully that will work for you.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have windows mobile device center however it does not recognise my phone. Zune recognises it fine. I'll give that .nbh solution when I get back home. Thanks again

Wait a sec, there are 2 nbh files. Would that be RUU_signed.nbh or SPL_signed.nbh?

Thanks man! Sorry to keep bothering you but I connected it with windows mobile device center running and nothing happened. Then I went into the bootloader and it said it was installing Qualcomm drivers or something. And I still get an error 260. :S

It's no problem man!
Ok.. That's good it installed the Qualcomm drivers, that's a step in the right direction.
Start fresh and close out all the programs on the PC, even Zune and disconnect your device.
Open the whole SLSPL folder and reconnect the device to the PC, wait for it to sync, (it may even install more drivers) "Serial" in the white section of BL mode will change to "USB" now and then just the double click on the RUUwrapper. it should work!

Success and failure.
It recognised the device and it started updating. It then failed and said "Error 294: Invalid Vender ID"
Could it be because my phone is the o2 UK model? Could I just use an older o2 UK RUU to downgrade?

Hey man! I got a y cable and a memory card reader etc and I've followed the guide but when I connect the phone and put it in USB Host Mode and all that stuff it just keeps rebooting into host mode then shuts off and repeats. Any thoughts?

Try switching the connections of the card reader and the phone on the Y cable.
Mine was doing the same thing yesterday when I downgraded my replacement phone. I was trying it with a SD card reader and a 8gb flash drive (I even partitioned it down to 1gb) and both of them were going through the loop from "Enter USB host mode, to Loading, then to bootloader mode."
So I went and bought a SanDisk 5 in 1 SD card reader and as soon as I hooked it up everything worked and updated the device.
You might want to try a different card reader and see if that works.

[Q] How to Install custom ROM (deepshining 7.8) on HTC HD7 Easy a Free?

Hey Guys. This has been bugging me for a while now, how would I install Deepshining v 7.8 on my HTC HD7 easily and without needing to pay a cent? I haven't been able to find any method that works as of yet. Can you please link me methods which do not involve using the Y split system or similar. A guide or two would be GREAT!
Thanks!
My Specs:
OS Version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware: 2250.21.51201.707
Bootloader: 5.12.2250.0(139198)

The problem is unless you have a Zune pre-Mango restore point on your PC, meaning you upgraded the device to Mango from a pre-Mango state and still have the PC that you used to do it on, the only other method to downgrade 5.xxx on your device is the goldcard/Y cable method.
Take a look at Zubair's Pre-Mango restore point method -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362194
Also the Y cable set up is really cheap. You can either make one yourself or purchase one on line. Then you only need a 1gb SD card and card reader. I did the whole set up, made 2 - Y cables and bought a SD card reader and 1gb sd card all for $12

I understand

Thankyou alot man! I think, with all my research and your confirmation I will pursue it with the y cable method. I am new to this stuff so thank you once again. I just started researching yesterday!

Your welcome!
Just remember the main steps are:
1. Downgrade the SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install XSPL)
2. Install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL)
3. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
I would recommend to follow Shadow's excellent step by step tutorial here -
