[Q] Can updating bootloader fix halfbricked bootloader? - HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im new on xda developers, new to WP and in need of some help cause i have a HD7, want to upgrade to custom roms but haven't seen a thread about fixing a bricked bootloader by upgrading SPL?
im from the philippines and currently having a problem finding a Y Cable for the gold card method...im thinking bout making one if i can't find a made one :fingers-crossed:
my htc details are:
HTC HD7 T9292
OS version: 7.10.7740.16
Firmware Revision: 2250.21.51004.401
Hardware Revision: 0002
Radio Software: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 5.11.2250.0(134578)

Noob friendly goldcard method
the search will guide you to that, how to make your own y-cable, and NO, there is no way to fix it, except for goldcard method

Rollback
Hi Sandeep027,
The dev unlock can only be carried from the original O/S revision to NoDo and then to Mango, it looks like your handset has been updated before the unlock was applied and now you cannot unlock it.
You can either roll back to a previous Zune backup from the original O/S revision and unlock using chevron, then follow the guides to update whilst keeping the handset unlocked (reg fix). Or you can apply a custom ROM from ansar (some are already dev unlocked)
Take a look at the WP7 general forums and read up on what it is that you want to do, there are some very clever people in there who have put together detailed guides on how to do this.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
Thanks
Thanks a lot my friend...could you be so kind to advise me on how to go about this as i don't have any zune restore point...
To unlock your gonna have to flash a pre-nodo rom. Unlock with chevron, apply prevent relock hack, update to nodo via Zune, look for my thread in wp7 general to have mango unlocked after update via Zune. In my opinion ansar hasnt done anything but post official roms he has found and copied work without giving credit. Day after I posted provxml method to unlock mango he posted it,taking credit. Day after cotulla posted hspl he posted slspl... Huh

if you want to unlock your phone with chevron you need to downgrade to 7004 or 7008.
firstly install hspl from the link below..

then install this rom..

I think installing RSPL is more than enough for laymen like us.

[Q] Downgrade question bootloader 5.x?

Yes, I know, another downgrading thread. I hate posting this probably as much as you hate reading yet another one. I'm rather fond of my phone, you see, and I'd hate to turn it into a very nice looking paperweight if I could help it so I have a couple questions for the more versed than I.
Quick info:
My phone is a HTC HD7
Carrier: T-Mobile US
Software: 7.5
OS version: 7.10.7720.78
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51004.531
Hardware revision number: 0002
Radio software: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware: A.12.0.D4
Bootloader: 5.10.2250.0(132968)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
Found this under my battery, I remember that it's important but jeez, don't remember why off the top of my head: PD29 110 5VDC==1A
Questions:
1. Is it possible to get a custom ROM on this phone?
2. If it's possible then what's the safest way to go about downgrading the bootloader (assuming I even have to). I'm looking to put the nextgen+ ROM on here.
2.5. The reason I'm asking the downgrade question is even though I've read all the guides I'm still not 100% sure if I can actually do it without bricking my phone. I don't want to use a card thing. If I can't do it through just software on my computer or phone then for me right now it's not possible.
3. Once I downgrade the bootloader I should be able to figure it out from there, but to clarify, I just get it downgraded, flash the ROM and (insert some other yada yada click click here and there) voila?
Exactly in the same situation

At the step where I have to download a Nodo or Pre-Nodo firmware, can I download any of those provided in the list for TMOUS as I have a T-Mobile US unlocked phone?

yes, as long at it is a the same 'branding' as your 'stock' device.
so, if your device is TMOUS branded then any Pre-Mango TMOUS should be fine.

[Q] Can I use Ansar method to downgrade?

Hi guys,
I'm fairly new to any sort of mobile unlocking/custom ROMS.
I'm looking to install Deepshining v8 on my HTC HD7.
After some research I've learnt that I need to downgrade my phone's SPL, as it's above 5.
I was wondering if it could be accomplished using Ansar's method (I couldn't find a concrete answer).
It would also be appreciated if anyone could point me in the direction of what files to downgrade with.
Here are my firmware and bootloader values:-
OS version: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51101.401
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(134578)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0
Thanks for any help.
Forget it!

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.
