[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
Okay so I've been hacking iPhones since the first one. I got my hd7 wen it was released. And I've updated to NoDo. Now...i realize this update kills chevronwp7. But I've been reading an reading all over this forum and its only half-clear to me. I have installed axebox and the update for HD7 rom unbranding. Problem: what rom do i need? There are so many and where do i get it?? I know i need the rom for the firmware before NoDo... I've been spending hours. Posting a thread is always last resort. Im not illiterate just not knowledgeable enough yet with this.

Thanks for any and all replies!

You'll first need to flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008).

Then, you'll need to follow this thread
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
okay this is what ive been trying to do. i understand the instructions. but i cant locate the 7008 or 7004 rom. preferably 7008. i get the process though. thats clear enough.

i really appreciate the reply thanks so much!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
Doesn't anyone know how I can get these roms? I'd think by now someone would have links posted and organized its been months... I need TmoUS 7004 or 7008...?? :/ I just wana flash and get this done! Thanks!

thanks for your help!

Oh and I just read about needing a "goldcard" and a special USB cable? Is this someones misunderstanding? I thought "goldcard" was an update to axebox.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KNKY:
I have the same problem

For example this rom :

[ROM][UPD]RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed

How do I know that when i install it It will flash or roll back to an older ROM (either 7004 or 7008) ?

i wanna get back to jailbreak my t-mobile device .

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
So i still need to know what happens to my contacts when i flash? Will they sync back into my phone?! I have like 500 really not interested in writing them all down

Thanks, kenny
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
They will actually synch with windows live mail. Including phone numbers
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
Okay thanks. I actually noticed lately I've been randomly losing numbers after syncing. I never activated my live mail account on my phone till like a few days ago. Now since I sync I lose them?! What's the deal :/ I had the same problem with iPhone it would always randomly delete contacts. So dumb
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
Get on a PC and login to your windows live account and then check your contacts and see if they are there. When I first got my HD7 and set it up, it synched all my contacts. After I restored it and did the unlock and upgraded it, it synched all my contacts back and I didn't know it did and I ended up having all my contacts twice cause I had imported them from my similar card before realizing they had synched back from my windows live
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarblech3:
Everyone has been very helpful and im learning everything I need to know! I just need to know one thing before I flash this tomorrow. Explain the "special USB cable" and "gold card" to me... Do I need them? My hd7 is tmobile branded... Thanks so much!

No you don't need them
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quetzal_7:
Sorry for a quasi-hijack, but I too need help with flashing ROM's so it's highly related.

I've searched all over for almost a week, but I can't find an answer. How can you get into bootloader with unresponsive volume keys?

I've tried modding the registry entry for my phone so that I can move the HD2compatible EnterBootloader.exe files I found on this site on to my HD7, but they don't execute when I try to run them (I didn't really expect them to since they were compiled for WM6.5, but I tried all the same). Is there something similar for WP7? Or maybe does someone know how to launch the bootloader via code in an app (I have developer access to it)? I can't even hard reboot this thing without the volume keys working.

Thanks in advance!

-Q7
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elyl:
Open up the phone and fix the volume button. Who wants a phone with a broken volume button anyway? You'll want it fixed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.hamadeh:
Hello there, I have DHD 2.2 stock HTC in with root. My phone is radio s-off and installed custom recovery.

Today I recived OTA update 2.3, I was told that having root phone prevent OTA update. However, I have it now and I don't know if I have to update or not.

Will I lose the root, s-off and custom recovery if I update?

Will I be able to root again and install custom recovery?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Having root prevents you from actually installing the Ota's. Since your stock rooted the phone will still notify you of updates(unless the Dev desables it). So if you would try to install it it would t work and most likely you'll get stuck screen with the exclamation point I believe.

If you want to update you will need to ruu up to 2.3, then you can reroot with gingerbreak. This method will erase everything so make sure to backup

Here's the link to the 2.3 ruu that you run from your computer. Thanks goes to andyharney for the link.

http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.hamadeh:
Thanx for explanation, but I believes using RUU will return the phone s-on and remove the custom recovery. Is this correct?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
The ruu will keep you s-off. It will delete the recovery but after you root using gingerbreak, you can reinstall it through rom manager
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaindancerAU:
Hi! I might jump into this thread because I have exactly the same situation (except I am not running a custom recovery) but I have a big issue.

The micro usb port on my DHD does not work anymore. I've put off getting it repaired as I have 4 spare batteries and 2 chargers, so I've been able to get by.

Can I still RUU, then Gingerbreak without using the micro usb port?

Cheers!

One other thing - I have the Australian DHD - I did not see a listing for an Australian RUU - Would I need to go find one or could I potentially use a WWE?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.hamadeh:
What about un-root my 2.2 using visonary then install 2.3 with OTA after that root it with gengerbrake? Is this good plan? Will this remove recovery and s-off?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
@RaindancerAU:

Well, RUU needs the USB port. You could try copying a .zip file to the root of your sdcard, then go into Bootloader and update it through there.

(You can get the .zip file from the RUU by opening the RUU.exe file and press 'Next' untill you reach the 'Checking device' - or something like that - part. Then just press - 'Windows key + r' - type %temp% and search the folders for a .zip file called ROM.) :)

As for you other question. If your phone is branded to a specific carrier, then using the carrier-specific RUU is recommended. If your phone isnt branded, ... , WWE is fine!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
Gingerbreak requires S-OFF. By OTA'ing' S-OFF will still remain, but recovery will be replaced with the originnal HTC recovery.

So if you had S-OFF before updating, then Gingerbreak will work, hopefully
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.hamadeh:
Thx, I will give a try...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn007:
I have a similar scenario.

my phone came with 2.2 and I used the advanced ace hack kit and it successfully rooted, s-off'ed and have the ace hack kit recovery.

When I checked for updates, I was surprised it did prompt me for the OTA 2.3 update.

I am tempted to install it but I am not sure if it will unroot my phone and remove the recovery and if it does, then how do I get it rooted again and have rom manager recovery?

I am with Three Australia and I was hoping someone else had done this before and would like to share their experience with us.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Since your rooted the Ota's will fail to Install. If you want to stay stock I would just flash a prerooted version.

Personally though you should give custom roms a try and enter the fun
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn007:
I have used an Ice Cold Sandwich custom rom and I loved it on my old DHD but this new one which I got as a replacement came with Froyo and for some odd reason, the WiFi is not working correctly. It connects but nothing get sent or received. I'm not quite sure if its the aahk that caused or it was an issue since I got it as I don't recall using WiFi on it before running aahk on it.

So I was hoping I could install this ota and check if it gets fixed, otherwise I will take it back to 3 so they can have a look and it would look like I have done nothing to it.

Hope this makes sense.

I'm really worried about applying this ota. I have taken a backup but would I get the chance to restore it if the ota update fail to install as you are saying?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
You could restore, but the Ota's wont install at all. You'll get stuck on the screen with an exclamation point,and you'll need to pull the battery to reboot the phone.

What you could do is flash an ruu/pd98img of the stock rom to check the wifi issue. This way will get rid of root and cwr but its easily reattainable
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn007:
I would not lose anything if I attempt it and fail? Just pull the battery out and I am back in business?

I will update to the latest ruu (Hutch AUS	3.12.861.2	PD9810000) from htc dev page but this will unroot the phone and remove cwr and put htc recovery. And then you want me to run the OTA update?

Just curious how easy it will be to root it and install cwr after I apply the ruu above.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
First two questions correct. But their is really no point in attempting it unless out pure curiosity to see if fail.

If you flash the ruu, no need to apply the Ota's as the ruu is probably The Ota's its asking you to install.

Because you will still be soff even after the ruu, you could just install cwr via a pd98img. Then install a rom or backup. And even if you were son the hack kit would still be able to root your phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn007:
I was as curious as a cat and you were spot on. It did fail.

The RUU I was referring to was from the htcdev page which is only 5.9MB and it's mainly to update hboot.

What I ended up doing last night was to apply this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843998 and the OTA still failed.

I guess it failed and when I checked, I still had cwr and hence why it failed.

I checked to see if I still had root and it was not. I was able to install superuser and this was all I needed to get root again. I did not think it was this easy.

I then ended up applying IceColdSandwich 4.0.0 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1450962

I am going tonight to apply 4.1.1 which only got released today.

I have a question about pd98img. what things can I install using this method? Can I packages apk files and name the file this and it will auto install when I hboot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
Pd98imgs are used to flash a radio, a recovery, and a bootsplash(image before you see the bootanimation)

You can have zips that install apps for you. Those are flashed in recovery. I know icecoldsandwich has a overlay script to do that aswell when flashing that rom. You would just have to place your apks in the specified folder.(I believe its data/app/apks)
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Hey all 2X lovers! :)

Ive been thinking more and more of some overklocking here and Im running this ROM so I can overlock. Im running SetCPU for running different profiles and lovering CPU speed to save battery. I know it can overlock too with doing the setcpu.txt files but how do you increase voltage in the textfile?? Or can I run Pimp my Cpu at the same time as SetCPU without problem?

What speed/voltage is safe and draws not too much more battery??

And yesh Ive searched for this but didnt really found any good information..
[LG Optimus 2x] fm.sakura0128:
I think use Pimp my Cpu only is better, it's because most x2' kernel developers suggested to use it.

I prefer stable rather than saving battery. If you having serious problem of battery drain, please wipe the battery stats while your battery is full(for make sure it's full, keep charging 2hrs after 100%)
[LG Optimus 2x] hobs0n:
Ok Ill look more into Pimp my CPU then :)

What speeds and voltages are you running? PMC suggests certain voltages at some overclocks, I assume you should follow them?

1. I was S-off.

2. Then I went flashed a recovery PC316img and went to stock. Then I downloaded the 4.22 GB update.

3. Now with the update we are locked out of the bootloader and you cant hit the volume down button and power button and pull up the boot loader. I even tried to to do the one click unrevoked and it wont let you go into bootloader sequence.

Am I screwed or is there a way to reflash to a previous version the 3.70 update? If so I will do it.

Here's my bounty. I will paypal 50 bucks to anyone who can help me flash to a previous version before Gingerbread so I can be unrevoked.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
Then you should still have s-off. Unrevoked 3 also runs unrevoked forever during its process. What you need to do is...

1. Turn off fastboot, by going into settings, applications, and unchecking the box.

2. Download this file (amon ra recovery) and put it in the root of your sd card

http://db.tt/vqV9Yq7

3. Reboot phone into the bootloader ( power off phone, then restart it while holding the volume down button)

4. When asked if you want to update, press volume up to choose yes. This will flash your recovery

5. Reboot the phone into your newly flashed amon ra recovery and flash a Rom of your choosing after wiping data, cache, dalvik cache and sdext (if your sd card is partitioned)

What if i have S-ON ?! :(

I made the same GD mistake, downloaded and installed the 4.22 OTA update, i was on a rooted 3.70 stock rom before which i used unrevoked to root. I used DjR3z's directions on how to unroot my evo, thinking i would be able to just root again with updated methods (im used to iphones, please dont kill me, jailbreaking is a bit of different process) and now im F'ed. S-ON, can load my clockwork mod bootloader, but it will not let me get into recovery mode, just gives me the red triangle after a few seconds. and no method of update.zip or pc36img.zip has worked, it checks it for 3 minutes and then takes me back to the main bootloader screen, nothing works....

When they say unroot to update, they just mean reflash the original recovery.

After the OTA you'll still be s-off if you used unrevoked forever. You can then put cw or amon on your sdcard as pc36img.zip and get your custom recovery back.
