Don't know if it's the same for your hd7 but my tmous hd7 would restart at 11%(that's when the radio portion of the rom finishes). Go back into bootloader and continue the upgrade. It did this automatically. Is that what you are seeing? Just leave the phone plugged in and don't stop the RUU.

If in the flash mode the top line of your device reads "security unlocked", then all of those should be flashable (like mine)
If not, the 1st, 2nd and 4th should apply. Just be patient, it DOES reboot in the middle and just sit tight and wait. (I reflashed mine a couple of times due to failed jailbreaking attempts however it is running a jailbroken Mango Beta 2 now.)
I have tried the ROM. Up to 11% off you go then. I'm stuck on 11% of Mobile. The program also does error 226.. I got 10 ROM test. All the vans came.
Image error:
Can we stop spamming please, ok I get it you need help one post will do, I had the same thing yesterday when I was flashing a ROM and it got stuck at 11% , you need to extract the ROM your going to install to a folder and delete the "SPL_signed.nbh" then run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and it should all work fine.

hi ..my friend
I have deleted this file SPL_signed.nbh. Rom then poured on the phone. But it was stuck on 11%. Please help me
Ok it sounds to me you might not have DFT HSPL / RSPL installed which mean you can flash ROMS without using the goldcard method, ok try this.
1. Download the "DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1.rar" from here at the bottom of the first post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
2. Extract DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1 to a folder.
3. Run the "DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH.exe" and follow the on screen instructions
4. Then run the "DFT_HSPL_WP7FG1_INSTALL.exe" and follow the on screen instructions.
5. Now try flashing the ROM you want but remember to be sure you have deleted the "SPL_signed.nbh" otherwise it will wipe out the HSPL you have just installed onto your phone.
Hope this helps.

I've done this yesterday. Hspl. I've done. It is the same. 11% is stuck. If I did not do all that was not the ROM. Now accepts all the ROM, but is stuck
Gold card, I do not have cable. Why can not I use it. Please help me
Please help me
Follow samson291
my friend you should follow Samson291 instructions since the same thing happen to me, when i flashed to the BellMobility signed by ansar where you have to flash twice back to back and i'm sure you did the same. you can not go back to your original branded ROM the phone came with but you can flash any other.

thanks alot man this really helped me out!
I just got my phone and it has these:
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Radio software: 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0
(btw its from T-mobile)
So I should be following the instructions to install RSPL and It lookss easy.
but what about my OS? can I leave the OS as it is and install one of these custom roms:
DFT's Freedom.
dotcompt's DeepShining.
itje's Touch-It.
Or do I need to update to Stock mango first?
Finally, what are radios for and should I flash a new one? if so what should I flash.

you should click the Thanks button, instead of thanking me in a post. : )
and you are welcome. glad i can help.
yep, with Bootloader version 3.1 start with RSPL.
when you flash a Custom ROM, it will be replace your current OS and Radio, if included with Custom ROM.
Radios give you your signal... so, a different Radio could help give you a strong signal in places.
everything went great.

What's the difference between RSPL and HSPL?
KayxGee1 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
RSPL is a temporary SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, then returns to OSPL afterwards. aka after a reset.
HSPL is a permanent SPL, which allows the install of an Unsigned.nbh, but doesn't change to OSPL until you flash it back.

I followed these steps myself. It took a total of 20 minutes to RSPL, HSPL and install and a custom rom (DeepShining Mango). Every great guide for noobies. Although, I must point out that you do not have WMDC stated in the guide. I got a little side tracked by that.

Chevron Unlock will look work with pre-Mango. you will need to use Goldcard method to downgrade. I suggest just flashing a Custom ROM, you will get more features besides adding a few apps. see tutorial I wrote, link in my signature.

I cant seem to make the Y cable correctly , since i couldnt get the stuff from around my place i tried making one and it doesent work , Im pretty sure i made the Y cable like in the tutorial --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676794
is there anyway that i can degrade my bootloader directly from my computer without using the goldcard or Y cable method , or perhaps a ROM that can be flashed on a 5.xx bootloader?
Thanks in advance

What errors or problems did you have when trying the goldcard method?
Since you have an HTC Asia WWE operator device, the SLSPL method by Ansar will not work for you.
The only other way for you to downgrade 5.xxx would be the Zubair - Pre-Mango Zune restore point method. Requires you to have a Pre-Mango restore point through Zune, meaning that you have updated the device from a Pre-Mango state to Mango and still have the computer that you did it on. If you use this method make sure to read the directions carefully... The devices SPL will not be downgraded when you revert back to Pre-Mango state, it changes the SPL when you re-update the device through Zune again and the key part is that the device will reboot twice during the update once to change the SPL to 4.xxx and once to actually install Mango and at this point you have to stop the update process and unplug the device before it installs the 3 update which is the HTC firmware update and if that update is installed the devices SPL will be upgraded to 5.xxx again and you will be stuck in the same position.

Ahh , since my devide is having a semi bricked this method wont work on mine , when i go to the bootloader it does not show the "serial/USB" in the bottom. means its semi bricked
Usually if the device hangs in "USB host mode" its due too -
1. The SD card reader... Try a different card reader. This is the most common problem and if your card reader uses a USB cable (like a printer style USB cable) try a different cable.
2. Make sure the only file on the SD card is the SCHUIMG.nbh ( has to be capitalized when renaming the ruu_signed.nbh)
3. The camera button can get stuck pushed in and prevent the device from flashig
4. Try switching around the Y cable connections.
5. If you make the Y cable to long in length it can cause a problem with trying to read the file.
Also when the device gets stuck in "Enter USB host mode or Loading" you have to pull the battery and re-enter USB host mode to try and start the flash process again.
Try these and let me know how it goes.

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!

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 -

Hi guys I found out that apparently I still have my old HD7 and if possible just a few questions. I deal with android stuf fand have 0 understanding about Windows but I am sure you guys can help me out. My question really on is there a root or jb needed to install cfw and in general what is available cause I don't really see ROMs like I see in my SGS3 section.
So if possible instructions on how to root following HD7 , and I think my sw and rom is really old ... here are specs I hope it's not too old yet usually old rom means better "crackability"

Hi,
Yes you can unlock the HD7 and flash custom roms and there are plenty of them available.
There are no CM version roms for the HD7 though but there are some really cool custom OS 7.8 roms and are the most current available, that allow you to customize the size of the home screen tiles...like WP8 with the new start screen. With a custom rom you can, gain root access to the device, install/sideload unlimited homebrew/xap's to the device through a pre-installed xap installer on the device with IE, and much more.
And your right, the older rom/Firmware is easier to crack...and because your bootloader version is 1.20, you won't have to downgrade the devices SPL at all which is the hardest part of unlocking the device.
So all you have to do for your device is -
1a. Make sure you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed for Vista/7 PC or ActiveSync for Windows XP. Connect the device to the PC and allow the Qualcomm drivers to install. This allows for the PC to communicate with the device and install XSPL and flash a custom rom.
1b. Install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL) to the device. (Which is required to install a custom rom)
2. Flash a custom rom of your choice.
Just follow Shadows tutorial from step 17 and on. Download and install XSPL -

I would recommend to read through the XSPL post and make sure that you understand the process as not to damage the device.
Take a look at the rom in my signature for the HD7....it's great and the one that I use.
This is a great rom for the HD7 too -

Thank you very much for your answer. I do have a few questions.
1. Windows Mobile Device Center is designed for W7 Vista and XP right now I am on Windows 8 ( I did download and installed Windows 64 bit version anyway)
2. There are 2 version of same file I see 2 downloadable files DFT_XSPL_WP7FG1 and DFT_XSPL_WP7FG2 yet inside both folders file that I need DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH.exe is the same in both folders (i didn't check md5 but from looks of it it's the same file in both folders)
3. After connecting phone it starting to charge I see no errors, but after launching DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH file and clicking next few times it's saying following error:
[Error Description]:
Please make sure that your device connected to computer.
also make sure that right drivers are installed (they comes with WMDC / AS usually)
Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.
[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (184)
I guess because it's not designed for W8. Now I have a choice to do Windows 7 compatibility and stuff but I'd like to consult with you first. I also have Ubuntu handy if it's possible to do it in there ? If impossible I'll just use my laptop and install windows 7 or xp or whatever needed. OR may be VMware on Windows 8 ? ,,,, Anyhow let me know what is my next move should be.
Once again thank you very much !
---------------- UPDATE ------------------
WHAT a No0B I am. Forgot to go in to Power + VDown mode ...... all worked out just fine I have RSPL3.1.2250.0(119314) instead of SPL Next stop ...flashing I guess
Another update all good with HSPL. On Step 38 of guide you provided, You v8 looks good downloading it atm will report on whole thing.
I also see it's possible to install additional card in to HD7, but in that tri color menu on bottom I saw it said SanDisk SD 16xxxxxx MB is that mean I already have extra card inside or it's just reporting on internal memory that showing as SanDisk SD card ?
ROM Downloaded and extracted.
On step 42 Guide mention that I should use task29 to flash my RUU_signed.nbh yet I do not see it included in guide as download link or in ROM pack however I do see ROMUpdateUtility.exe
I will try to find task29 cause ROMUpdateUtility.exe looks very much like official HTC utility that I guess at this point will not help me at all.
Yeah this is not clear. Task29 is for erasing completely everything on the phone yet it does not allow to select .nbh file. IS there a Task29 that designed for HD7 specifically and is there a separate flashing utility ? I think I'll wait for now for answer cause this is kinda important step I don't want to do something I don't completely understand and that guide needs to be fixed cause if Task29 is not for flashing yet only does first part of erasing everything it should say use Task29 to erase and use so and so to flash your .nbh file.
I'll wait for answer, Thank you !
ALL DONE !
Okay a little confusion was on that step because there is actually a custom wrapper for HD7 of Task29 utility and about it erasing everything, well that correct BUT if you have HD7_RUUWrapper_29.exe and RUU_signed.nbh in same folder it just automatically selects it and flash it to device so there are no prompts to select RUU_signed.nbh it simply flash it ... make sure to start HD7_RUUWrapper_29.exe as administrator.
Well done, thank you. Face-lift is not complete.
Awesome... Glad you got it all figured out and enjoy your new rom!!
I seen in one of your posts that you mentioned upgrading the SD card. This is possible, the SD card is technically a part of the file system once installed, therefore it requires a hard reset when installing the new SD card in the device, which will erase all data and apps.
You have to do some disassembly of the back of the device (it's pretty easy) to access the SD card slot.
Your device has a 16gb SD card already installed. With the bootloader version 3.xxx the device will support up to 32gb SD card. I have one installed in my device.
One thing to consider is that WP devices lock the SD card for security reasons and it cannot be read or used by any device or PC other than some Symbian devices.
These are the only methods to unlock the SD card. Flashing a different rom to the device (like Dynamics 7 Mango version which supports custom cabs) before removing the SD card and using WP7 Cab Sender and the Storage Lock Cab. (this is the method that I used) It's a app/program installed on the device that allows the device to unlock or lock the SD card and then allows the SD card to be used or formatted. The other method is removing the SD card from the device and using a Symbian device to unlock the SD card.
If your interested in upgrading the SD card there is a tutorial here -

Hello once again ! It's been few months sense I installed Deepshining v8 and it works just great. And just want to know if there is anything new out there that I can use. No updates to Deep so I guess development is not that hot anymore. Well thanks a lot for help from before and let me know if anything good is out that I can use instead of Deep 8
Thanks !
