Since it's your first post and from what I can tell (just an educated guess) you're / have been an Android user, there are a few things you need to know:
1) HD7s DO have an SD card which is expandable up to reportedly 64GB with certain SD batch & class numbers. there's more than one thread covering this but be warned, it requires getting you hands dirty.
2) Even if you remove the SD there's no way you can access or modify its contents and fit it in without having to restore factory settings.
3) A removed SD card CAN be recovered i.e. become readable / usable by other devices. Can be a bit tricky process though.
4) You CAN remove APPS, not system components, that you don't want by simply tapping and holding the icon(s) on the list. A pop-up gives the option to do so.
5) For jail breaking I suggest you install a custom ROM which will be FULLY unlocked. This will give you MANY serious advantages over stock.
6) To flash a custom ROM you MUST downgrade the bootloader first or chances are you'll brick your phone.
So before proceeding with ANY custom ROM flash, use search for the goldcard method first, then do the Cotulla RSPL / HSPL.
I will not post any links as its a bit of a pain switching pages on my itsy-bitsy screen but you can still search and READ before doing anything.
Hope I was helpful enough.
Welcome to wp7 and HD7...Good luck

Hello all,
I own an HTC HD7 and am looking to correct a bonehead mistake on my part - I changed my Windows Live ID Email Address. I realize now this totally destroys my phone!
As I found out - the only way to correct this on the phone is to do a Hard Reset.
There is data on the phone I do not wish to lose with a hard reset:
- Applications no longer available in the marketplace that I have purchased
- Progress on games (save games that would be lost)
- Applications that require a unique 'key' tied to an account (authenticators)
I figure there are two possible resolutions:
A. Find a way to back up only the data / applications so that after hard resetting the phone I can restore only those applications and data and not the incorrect live id email.
B. Change the live ID email on the phone as indicated by this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19196048
Option A seems 'easier' but I'm not sure if it is possible.
Option B will require a lot of work as my phone is fully retail and I would need guidance on unlocking it, sideloading a registry app, applying the registry fix...
Either way, I want to try this before I hard reset the phone. I have a zune backup of the phone from the recent update if I need to restore.
Here are the details of my device:

For me is the same,
I have used the same procedure and more others, but the downgrade process always goes wrong..
I noticed some mistakes who the app does before the upload process:
1) always can't find my phone when is connected to the PC
2) don't show my Os version when does the last examination
3) don't give you an advice if something goes wrong before the upload
I want to advice you some better ways to unlock our Phones:
1) In June probably will be the next OS Update, no?
Why they don't starting to work to a next custom unlock update for it?
Maybe if we don't update our phones whit the next, we have the opportunity to update with an custom version.
2) They try to create some app who read and replace the program codes inside the smarphone.
The better way to update our phone it's only Zune, we need a custom version of this.
Hope we find a way, bye.
Follow the gold card method its simple if u have right Y cable.

The SIM and the microSD are plugged into a card slot connected with a flex cable, you'll have to disassemble the HD7 to see if the flex is well seated.
keep me posted about the results.
I opened the small cover that hides the memory and sim cards hardly, desperetly tapped with my fingers hardly on the slots, put the sim card and battery back, and turn the phone on, what a surprise everything is ok .
but i don't know if another little hit or drop will unplug somthing.
Thanks for your concern
Hey guys!
I have just bought myself a HD7. I bought it in Sweden... but it´s not purchased in Sweden from the beginning. It´s the 16gb version and as I understand that one was never sold in Sweden. Also... there are only two system languages in the stock ROM... English and som other strange language. I don´t know if any of this matters when it comes to flashing... but just in case.
I´m no stranger to flashing and modding... but I come from a Omnia 7 and that baby is almost foolproof. With a HD7 I really feel unsure...
This is what I need help with:
I have tried to get around this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068 but I really don´t understand where to start. I would really like for someone to tell me exactly what to do and why. My goal is to flash one of the 7.8 roms from the forum.
Here´s my specs:
I don´t have a Y Cable!
HTC HD7 T9292
OS 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51201.707

Chip SSOC version: 2.2.5.0
I use the latest Zune on a Windows 7 x64 machine (Windows 8 actually, but I guess that doesn´t matter. It worked fine on the Omnia)
I´m really sorry for asking something that is probably described in the forum a hundred times Before... but I feel like I need a babysitter, here.
Thanx in advance!

Your device is a HTC Asia WWE operator.
Unfortunately there are only 3 methods to downgrade SPL 5.xxx and 2 of them will not apply to your device, so you will have to use the goldcard method to downgrade your SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL) with a stock/shipped Asia WWE rom.
1. Download this rom, goldcard tool and the goldcard image.
https://rapidshare.com/#!download|8...02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U.7z|9310|0|0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837
2. Either make or purchase a Y cable from online.
3. Extract the contents (use a program like 7Zip) of the rom to a new folder on your desktop and remove the Ruu_signed.nbh file and rename it to SCHUIMG.nbh (has to be capitalized when renaming)
Use a 1gb or 2gb SD card wiped and formatted to FAT32 ( larger cards can work but need to be partitioned to 1gb) put it in the card reader and connect to PC, place the SCHUIMG.nbh file on the SD card. Run the goldcard tool, click on the "Select image" button and then choose the goldcard image, then click on the "Patch MMC" button and wait for confirmation that it had mad the SD card and goldcard. Disconnect the card reader from the PC and connect it to the Y cable and connect the power source to the Y cable, put the device into "USB host mode" and then connect it to the Y cable and the flash process should begin.
Once the SPL is downgraded you can then install RSPL/HSPL. I recommend to read through the XSPL thread.
Download the XSPL.rar Revision #3 by DFT and extract the contents to a new folder on the desktop.
Put the device into bootloader mode and connect to the PC, run the RSPL wizard and install RSPL first. While the device is still in bootloader mode and RSPL has been successfully installed then run the HSPL wizard and install HSPL.
Download the rom of choice and extract the contents to a new folder on the desktop.
Put the device into bootloader mode and connect to the PC. Run the Ruuwrapper provided with the rom, follow the prompts on the screen and flash the custom rom and enjoy.
If you have any questions or problems just let me know.
Thank alot for your time!
So... the first I need to do is get a USB-cardreader and a Y-Cable. Well, when that´s done I´ll let you know how it works.

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"
OS Version 7.0.7004.0
Firmware revision number 2250.09.12001.531
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio Software: 5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U
Radio hardware version A.12.0.D4
Bootloader version 1.20.2250.0(111584)
Chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
I can believe I just wrote all this numbers
Anyhow just a hint what people prefer to use cfw wise ...like with sgs3 people like CM10 ....thanks is there cm for hd7 ?
Thank you guys !
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 -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
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 !
