New To HD7 and Windows - Need Help Flashing and Unlocking

Hi i just bought a HTC HD7 16Gb on eBay which is on o2 and thought il use the windows 7 mobile devices since the interface and overall phone is brilliant.
I want to unlock it (not sim unlock) and instal a custom ROM.
I cant remember what version the had when i opened it but im pretty sure it only said "Windows 7". I have now updated the phone and this is what i currently have.
Model HTC HD7 T9292
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
Total Storage :14.63
Available Storage: 13.75 GB
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware Revision Number: 2250.21.40501.206
Hardware Revision Number: 0002
Radio Software Version: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21U
Radio Hardware Version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader Version: 4.5.2250.0(129291)
Chip SOC Version: 2.2.50
Now Sorry i know this question has been asked countless times but after reading for 3 hours i just want 2 make sure i do everything right so i don't want to end up with a brick. If i said any errors could you correct me please.
From what i understand The radio version isn't important but it is the Bootloader version that matters right? Bootloaders with 5.xxx need to be downgraded via a special way otherwise 4.xxx or lower bootloaders are ok however bootloader lower than 3xxx are better to have?.
Do i need to downgrade my OS version before i can even begin flashing?
Once you instal a custom ROM not all custom ROMS support being up datable via Zune without bright right?
So in simple terms can someone advise me the steps to first unlock my phone so i can instal my XAP files, then secondly how would i go about installing a custom ROM.
Thanks You and Sorry for the trouble.

hi Awofadeju
need more info .... phone mid number.... found on bootloader screen
first thing to do is check to see if your phone can be installed with Cotulla HSPL
if not supported dont waste any more of your time
1, yes you have to downgrade your OS to downgrade your hspl
2, ONLY after you have downgraded your Hspl... then install Cotulla HSPL
3, some custom roms are updatable via zune but not recommended
4, sh4d0w86 has the best install instructions HERE
5, read sh4d0w86 instructions and follow his steps....link....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
cheers and have a gr8 day
thanks button is next to qoute button

hey guys! i have the same issue.
I just bought my second hand htc hd7 phone and I found out that it is running with Deepshining v7.6
here are the details:
OS version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: Deepshining v7.6
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio Software:5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U
Radio hardware: A.12.0.D4
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0(119314)
The phone is really normal in standby mode or in some cases.
But whenever I do something that would need to stress the phone a bit,
(like open a facebook app)
it would restart and go into boot loop
the remedy is to remove the battery and wait for 5 mins then restart the phone.
then I was able to boot my phone properly again.
this happened a ton of times already.
The thing is, I just started using a windows phone. it's literally my first day.
I am used to andriod and I wanted to explore WP7.
What I want is to get rid of deepshining and flash it to a different rom OR better yet. change it back to a stock 7.5 OS.
I would like to ask for your suggestions like, would it be better to flash a different rom, or go back to stock?
what can you suggest for me to do with my situation?
Your help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

for the SPL just power off your phone and restart holding down the volume down button you will enter the bootloader mode ( a four colored screen) in that you can see the spl

Can you help mi with my HTC HD7? (flashing and fixing errors)

Hi! First of all, i'm sorry if you can't understand this post as well as you expect but i'm spanish. However, i'm going to try it without using Google transaltor.
This forum is the best i've found in the web about windows phone scene, and i hope you to help me with my problem
I'm using HTC HD7 with the following system:
-SO = 7.10.8107.79
-2250.21.51101.401
-0002
-5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
-A.102.0.D4
-5.11.2250.0
So, if it is posible, i want to install this SROM --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271118
I'm confused because my SCL is 5.x and i'm starting from 0 in this Operative System.
When i start my phone holding camera button, it doesn't show my usb information.
Can you help me step by step? if it is more comfortable for you, by private message.
Thank you and sorry for my english.

That link doesn't work to show what rom you want to download. Power off your phone, hold down the volume down key and power your hd7 back on while continuing to hold down the volume button, this will bring you into boatloader mode. Use shadows awesome tutorial to downgrade your spl at or below 3.xxx on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
Post any more questions or problems.

hello xdrc45, is SPL and bootloader version the same? im struggling with all of these letters. lol
I already asked this in a different thread. apparently, no one's still around to answer.
here are the details:
OS version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: Deepshining v7.6
Hardware revision number: 0002

can I flash a different rom with that? I just got this phone with a custom rom already. I got tired and bored of android so im exploring wp7. please help me.
Thanks!

Yes its pretty much is the same, when in boatloader mode do you have rspl or hspl if you have hspl you can just flash a new rom, if you have rspl then you need to re rspl and then flash a new rom.

I made many errors and i'm going to explain it for those people who have the same problems.
-I originally had HTC HD7 (Schubert) with mango 7.5 installed from zune
-My originally spl was 5.x
1º- I entered in bootloader (useful information for newbies) switching of my phone and switching it on while pressing volume down button.
2º- i downgraded my spl using SLSPL from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411904
3º- once rebooted in spl mode i got SPL 1.57
4º- I installed this RUU http://www.4shared.com/file/kXXbn7HR/RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_169401.html
This will give you SPL 1.69 wich is supported in DFT
5º- Use cotulla DFT, now without problems.
6º- install your favourite cROM, i used deepshining v7.6 --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17735530#post17735530

To flash a custom rom your SPL has to be at or under 3.xxx, since yours is 1.xxx there is no need to lower your SPL. So you can install RSPL/HSPL and then flash a custom rom of your choice, it will be very easy for you.
When your in bootloader mode does it show "Serial" in the white section? If there is no "Serial" displayed in the white section of the bootloader then your device is semi/small bricked (and that would explain why Zune is not updating your device) and you will have to use the goldcard/ Y cable method to repair the BL and then continue the process to install a custom rom.
Just follow Shadows tutorial here:

Help please HD7 custom rom

Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me, I've upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 920 several months ago now and am intending on giving my old phone to my Mum, I've been reading through the forum on the whole process of Bootloaders, SPL, Roms etc and its really confusing me so was hoping someone could point me in the right direction and let me know what I need to do as simple as possible.
The main intention of the custom rom is to get the WP 7.8 update and to be able to install the Nokia Drive navigation app. The phone info is;
Model: HTC HD7 T9292 - Its on O2 UK network and has always only been used on stock official firmware.
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51101.206
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 5.11.2250.0(134400)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
So basically I'd like to know if its even possible to do this phone, preferably without having to get cables and stuff etc.
Thanks for any help!

The simplest answer:
NO!
Your bootloader is over version 3.XX
The only method for a downgrade + custom ROM is goldcard method.
Period!

only if the device is NOT half bricked (bootloader doesn't show USB or Serial in the white stripe), if the bootloader is OK (shows USB or Serial) you are good to go, BUT I have never tried this method.
