[Q] HD7s woes seveneighter - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got an HD7 to replace my broken HD2 and I wanted to update it before using it so I did the zune updates and then attempted to use seveneighter to update form 7.5 to 7.8. The updating was fine but then many features did not work email ,wifi, messaging plus more. So I restored the phone with zune but no joy this stuff still does not work. I hard reset and still no luck. So I would like to start over and load the original rom but have not been able to find a download. I am not sure if this will fix my problem thus I am asking for advice is this just a paperweight now. Can I reload the stock rom and start over , if so where could I get a copy pf the rom?
Many many thanks

More inforamtion
I have tried several times to run seveneighter again and and I get error 80180048. So it looks like the phone is missing some language packs. I have checked all packs available but this phone is a US at&t phone and it has many more packs listed than I can find available 50-60 different ones are listed on the phone. I looked at the manual cab installation thread and only 22 packs are available. I also tried the windows phone support tool and after running it the tool states cannot be recovered please contact technical support. I also tried the disconnect method on zune to force update the phone without result.

Just install Deepshining V8 or Dynamics V2.0, and you'll be fine, just be sure to downgrade the boot loader first.
PS: Don't ask me "how to downgrade" you can use the "SEARCH" function...
Look my signature, mine it's an AT&T too.

Strategies for dealing with radio ROM update 114 errors
I had this problem last week and recovered from it. At first it looked pretty bad, nothing seemed to work. I looked the Internet up and down and in most forums, including this one, people agreed that nothing could be done about error 114, the mainboard of the BA needed replacement, etc.
When I finally did fully recover from this situation, it was from a combination of measures that I took and as I don't really know which one actually did the trick, I'll try to describe all of them even though not all will probably apply to others. Another problem is that I probably won't be able to remember them all, but anyway, here goes:
1) I downloaded the latest full official ROM update from site of the carrier this phone was branded for, in this case T-Mobile. It included a radio ROM, albeit version 1.13.0, not 1.15.0 which is the one I had been trying to flash. I decided it would be best to go back to that official version first.
2) I had been trying to do the radio ROM upgrade from a Macintosh (OSX) under Virtual PC. I have since done several ROM installations (without the radio part) from the Mac/VPC which worked fine, but since people had observed that radio ROM updates seem to be more sensitive than fiddling with the normal ROM, I decided to fire up my "real" PC, which runs WIndows XP, SP2, with Active Sync 4.5.
3) As others had suggested, I made sure that I had my cradle connected directly to a USB port on the computer; before I had been trying to go trough a hub. I also made sure the cradle was connected to the power adapter.
4) I had unlocked my device before to work with a non-T-mobile SIM card, but since I wasn't sure wether or not SIM/Net lock problems might still interfere with radio upgrades, I took my SIM card out of the unit, as well as the SD card -- trying to eliminate as many potential sources of screw-up as possible.
5) I think I tried to set my BA into as much of a defined state as I could by hard-resetting it and THEN invoking boot loader mode. I don't remember whether or not this was possible as the device was not reacting much to anything at the time.
6) On the Windows PC, I opened Active Sync, then went to Connection Settings and explicitly disabled the USB connection. I then quit Active Sync and invoked the Windows task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to check that no other processes were running. Trying to cut out interference as much as poosible ...
7) I then proceeded to flash the official ROM version, which went flawlessly including the Radio ROM, took less than fifteen minutes in all. To be honest, I don't remember which ROM upgrade utility (BaUpgradeUt/MaUpgradeUt_noID) I used ... sorry. I know I tried whatever was included with the T-Mobile download first.
After that, I verified that everything was working again, then immediately flashed Radio ROM 1.15.0 as I had originally intended. This time it went uneventfully.
Hope some of this helps, I know how frustrated you must be at this point.
Good luck!
thanks a lot
i'm going to follow your instruction today.

i-mate KJAM stuck on bootloader

Hello everyone,
First - I'm really happy to have found this resource. I had no idea about all the cool things I could do to my phone. Thanks to everybody for all your hard work.
I spent a lot of time reading up with the goal of upgrading to a Windows Mobile 6 ROM. But now I need some help please, because I can't get my phone back!
I determined that my phone is a G4 (IPL/SPL of 2.16.0001). I attempted to load various WM6 Roms (TNT 4.0 Official and XDA Mobile 6), without success (error 300). Eventually, I succeeded in loading Wizard Love 2.26.10.2, and booted into Windows successfully. I then tried to load TNT 4.0 on. It got up to 100%, rebooted - and now I am stuck on the RGB / bootloader screen. Plugging in USB cable gives me the USB txt in the bottom left, but no response from the computer. The various RUU utilities I have tried to restore the phone back to Wizard Love or official iMate ROMs all fail - they can't seem to find the phone.
I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks you in advance.
Regards,
Nick
Progress!
More research led me to find that WinXP should be able to install a new ROM without ActiveSync - in fact, you need to disable ActiveSync USB connections and end wscecomm.exe via task manager.
These steps allowed me to attempt flashing of a new ROM:
1. Uninstall device from device manager
2. Turn off device completely
3. Disable USB in ActiveSync
4. End process "wscecomm.exe" via Task Manager
5. Plug in phone, windows will detect and install as a Windows CE. This will make wscecomm.exe load again. End this before running the RUU tool
6. Run RUU. When detecting your phone, it will run wscecomm.exe. I kept ending it and crashing the RUU . RUU stops it itself.
7. Finally my phone was detected and I was able to proceed to flashing without an RUU error. Previously, i was getting error 260, 264, 300...
I was greedy and attempted to load XDA Mobile 6. It got to 99% and crashed. I will try and get back to Wizard Love.
If somebody could tell me what I am missing / doing wrong that would be great. To summarise:
- I have been able to install Wizard Love
- I have a G4 i-mate KJAM
- TNT 4.0 has reached 100%. On reboot, I only got boatloader.
- After many hours trying to fix, I finally was able to attempt to flash XDA 6 r2. It reached 99% before crashing
I will now try to put Wizard Love back on, but I really want to run WM 6.0 and am not very concerned about which flavour. Thanks for your help
No...You shouldn't use RUU for upgrading to WM6 because your G4 is not unlocked (You need to pay to unlock a G4, however it is not required if you don't use RUU).
Flash to Wizard Love, then get a copy of ShellTool and use it to flash the nk.nbf inside WM6 RUU.
no worries. I have the same phone and running XDA r2a, so it can be done!
Simply get hold of G4_step_by_step_install_wm6 I think theres a link to rapidshare on this forum, try search. (I will try get the link later on.) Follow the steps and it has shelltool which will extract th OS for and you can then install. Make sure you get the splash screens from XDA thread so you get the full package.
Good luck

Hey guys - thanks so much, I can't wait to get stuck into it.
You know I spent my whole weekend getting into this stuff and I'm sure I have only just scratched the surface!
I think it's fantastic that so many of you put so much work into this, and then also have time to guide people through the process.
Regarding the FTP links throughout these forums - They never seem to work for me. I get an error 550 - failed to change directory. These are links with usernameassword of xda:xda. The only link that worked had something different, along the lines of xdaupload:xda, can't remember for sure.
What am I doing wrong?
Just get the G4_step_by_step, forget everything else. Its on rapidshare. It has even a WM6 Rom in it so you can even that on your Wizard. But you can install XDA R2a also by following the step by step guide and knowing what to replace. Have you downloaded it? Its about 75MB but well worth every bit of it! You wont need anything else after that.
We learn from each other! Thats why we help others so they help us too

The forum carried many ROMs before. Micro$oft had some opinion on this and hence the ROMs were all removed. Most of the 550 errors would be due to this.

Cannot get the new S/E ROM

Hey you guys..!
I have tried several times to update my X1, but without any luck..
I know that the official S/E update service have a problem with the new ROM, but since I've newer tried to update a WM-device before, I have no idea what to do.. All attempts have failed..
Would someone be kind and give me a short How-to-do list..
I would like to update to the "normal/generic" UK-ROM, since the device is not SIM-locked and imported from the UK to me in Denmark..
I really hope someone would help..
Thanks
http://rapidshare.com/files/192527028/GENERIC_UK_R2A_PACK.rar
this is the R2A rom, it includes the updater and the HardSPL if you want to install it first (just to be safe).
http://rapidshare.com/files/192528768/X1i_RADIO_10.10.25.18.rar
this is the radio and the updater, I don't know if doing the manual rom upgrade updates it since Ihad it already updated before.
instructions are included in every rar.
for more info, do a search in the ROM forum, there's lot's of info there.

Can't update my HTC?

HI I m still a noob in this sh*t.
I can't seem to do updates to my HTC kaiser.
The reason I wanna do that is because I can't install the tomtom that comes with the application cd because my phone tells me that I need to do the updates.
I have an htc orange but I live in Canada so it's unlocked.
ROM version: 3.03.405.0WWE
Date: 01/08/08
Radio version 1.64.06.04
Any help would be very apreciative.
I'm really tryin to find a thread that explains that but I just can't
Thanks
If you want to be more knowledgeable its always good to take a look at the wiki.
As for updates, could you be more specific please? Do you mean a ROM update or a software update? Perhaps posting exactly what the message says would help.
thank you for replying¸
When I go to install the Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716:
On the computer instalation goes normally
Then the pc tells me that I need to chek for additional... on phone
On the phone it says here is the message: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to the HTC website I try to update and I can't do it because when I put my serial code it tells me that my phone is not compatible
Now Ive made some search and found a post saying that ORANGE kaiser can't get the updates for reasons to hi-tech for me to understand. And that if yo actually do it via some type of hack your phone will be locked wish I don t want to happen.
Please help the only reason I bought this phone is for the GPS
I'll keep on trying to understand on xda
All HTC phones are sold with a specific rom for that phone or for that phone's carrier. Your phone is locked to that rom. It is HTC and your carriers way of controlling what rom you flash to your phone. Presumingly to stop people from screwing up their phones by flashing incompatible roms, and then looking to HTC for a new phone.
If you have an Orange phone, then you can only flash roms approved by Orange and the one you are trying to use is apparently not approved. Unlocked, only means that it is sim unlocked, not CID unlocked.
Were you originally trying to update a program or a rom ?

The question is there. What CD? Did it come with the phone or was it bought separately? What Tomtom version? What exactly does it say when it tells you to "do the updates"? Is it Tomtom saying that, or whatever else?
In other words, what exactly do you have at hand now, what are you trying to do and what is the problem encountered?
It will be hard to help you if we can't understand the situation.
Thanks for both replies
When I got my phone wish I bought from europe over the net, it didn t come with the application cd. I wanted to install tomtom on it and because I didn t have the cd then I couldn't do it.
I searched xda-developers site and I found a link to the application cd contents.
I got the folling:
3gnetopt.exe
Installer_Kaiser_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_GPRSMonitor_2.4.5_b938_HTC_WWE_20070710
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716
SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup
Now whenever I try to install any of those the instalation goes perfectly on the PC ( same way when I install anyother program on my PPC) then I get to the part where the PC tells me:
Please chek your mobile device screen to see if additional steps are necessary to complete instalation.
And on my PPC I see: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
When I go to HTC website for updates, I enter my serial and it tells me:
can t update because my phone is not compatible
You have to unlock the CID and flash a HardSPL if you are going to install a non-orange ROM. (Yes, this rule applies even if you are going to flash the HTC OEM ROM)
I m goin to do CID-unlock but will that affect my SIM unlock
No. Once your SIM is unlocked, it remains that way.
never mind I got it
Is it normal that when I flashed the new rom it says that I m using 61% of the memory from the start. Insted of the usual 30% for the regular wm6 rom

error 226 upgrading vodafone diamond

Hi to everyone.
I've just bought a HTC Diamond on the vodafone network, but need to unlock it as I'm on O2's network.
I've been able to install SPL 1.4 and this shows on the boot loader page.
The problem seems to come when I try and install the 'new' rom. It goes through the whole stage up to 100%. Then on the device it says error code please try again. On my Pc it says error code 226. I've tried it on a windows vista pc, and again on XP. I've also tried it by installing it direct onto the internal storage. This again goes through the installation up to and including 1005, but then come sup with a new screen on the device saying that the update and the radio have both failed to install.
I'd really like to unlock my device and to have a new rom so that I dont have all the vodafone branding.
Like many others, I'm willing to contribute so that research and new software is developed, and I have also read the forums for many hours trying to find a solution to my problem before posting.
Hopefully I can be directed to some help.
Kind regards.
Just to update and incase anyones interested.
I ended up downloading the latest version of the official rom that I could find, then extracted the nbh file using winrar, and installed that from the internal storage which has successfully worked.
Not sure why the other rom image I had wouldn't work, just glad I've got rid of the vodafone bits really.
Regards.
