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!

Thanks for the reply, please could you let me know about the process of doing the goldcard method?

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.

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
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

your only option is to use Goldcard method or a Zune backup if you have one, preferrably NoDo Backup.
see the tutorial i wrote, link in signature, for futher downgrade details.
also, you will want to use O2 UK ROMs only to downgrade.

You need an exap program installed on your phone to sideload apps and to do that you need to unlock your phone, which is quite easy using shadows tutorial on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
I know you don't want to change your rom and flash a new one but that's the only way because Microsoft has these devises locked down so that you can't do anything additional with your hd7. if you follow the tutorial its quite easy and safe! If you decide too, you have plenty of support here on xda with any questions or problems.
If you found this helpful please click the thank you button!
Thanks, but where can i find a video with this steps with the unlock and rom, because i am a newbie...
Your bootloader is 5.xxxx so you have to use the goldcard method to downgrade spl there's a video here
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=RM5oIICVQdo&v=RM5oIICVQdo&gl=US
Then follow shadows tutorial still to install rspl or hspl and then flash a rom of your choice!

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:
