Hmm. Flashing back to a older Bootloader without wiping the phone would be nice for the moment. From the looks of it I have 2 older Rom options with Bootloader 1.25 and 1.29 and whatever "Custom" rom that mwang might have on hand.

Is the downgrade RUU process similar to the old WM days where you can just remove the actual rom file and just run the ruu with only the bootloader file? Glad to finally get my hands dirty again, just wish there was more content or more actual firm post that made sense.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Nevermind. Success! Going from Mango's updated 4.3 SPL down to the 1.25 SPL using RUU_Gold_C_Sprint_WWE_1.29.563.02_Radio_1.51.00.01 _23.12W.05.06U_NoDo_Signed_by_ansar Booted back into the Arrives 7720 OS as well as the bootloader show everything looking normal. Going to test the HSPL now and I will report back.

So this is great news for all current Sprint HTC Arrive users since they have not pushed even 7740 to our devices and the highest SPL that has been pushed is 4.3, a downgrade is easy peasy.

RSPL and HSPL both installed successfully.

Curious, the RSPL loader shows 1.25 correctly, but when installing HSPL it only showed 1.29 HSPL or OSPL as an option. Installed HSPL which is now installed and working, however why does it show HSPL1.25 rather than 1.29? (Just a Typo in the installed and it actually uses whatever bootloader that was installed on the device?)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jaygriggs:
Im in the same boat 4.3XXX on my arrive I assume because I upgraded to mango?

Please keep us informed on your progress... Hopefully someone will slap a rom with internet sharing together soon

Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HSPL for HTC Titan

I'm really looking forward for the HTC Titan version. But for now, great work on HTC devices by Cotulla and his team !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Zero9930:
How were you able to do this? I keep getting stuck saying I have an invalid ModelID number :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
What part are you getting stuck at? Downgrading or Launching RSPL before Installing HSPL?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Zero9930:
I just downgraded it and it worked smoothly. But I'm getting stuck on Launching the RSPL. My phone is in Bootloader but when it tries to connect I get an error saying my ModelID is not supported. My ModelID is PC931000.

I have an HTC Arrive btw.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
You got the HSPL from the bottom of the page didn't you and not from Here huh? ;)

You want #3 not # 2 or 1.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Zero9930:
THANK YOU! I figured I was using the wrong version but I also figured they would've added it to the first post. You saved me a great deal of pain :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TheXev:
I attempted a HSPL using the 0.82.605.02 SPL found in this ansar rom: RUU_Spark_W_VERIZON_WWE_0.82.605.02_Radio_1.25.00.10.20_22.03W.85.00U_by_ansar

SPL flashes okay but does not work for HSPL (phone also will not boot with this SPL). I will flash the demo rom I have to see if that helps, but this is the only file I have found that has a separate SPL from the RUU for Spark W so far.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] starsoccer9:
quick question

so i have an arive with the same MID and spl 4.3. DO I just download the RUU file or do I need to edit it or something?

Also when I flash will I lose any data such as texts and games?

Last question is once I put flash it how do i interop unlock it?

do I have to flash a custom rom on?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
Just do what my post says. Download the RUU entirely (it is just the bootloader, a full rom is over 200MB) and flash it. Then use my 2nd link (to HSPL #3) and run the Launcher followed by the Installer.

You will not have an unlocked OS however until we get a custom rom. This just preps the phone for said roms. Give it time. Now that the Arrive is Bootloader unlocked the potential is near limitless.

Kinda a bummer how back in the TP2 days, people had roms cooked and ready to go before the bootloader was even released by Comex bummer how the Arrive didn't get similar treatment as the HSPL date crept closer. :/

Either way. Thanks are in order for Cotulla and the DFT. They really have put some work in and making the WP7 devices better each release. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Zero9930:
Use the file IM0001 posted a few pages back. Put your phone in Bootloader mode and flash it. Now you should have an SPL of 1.25

Downgrading your Bootloader and flashing the RSPL/HSPL won't do anything to your data stored on your device.

To interop unlock it you will need to flash a custom ROM. But as of right now there are no custom ROMs for the HTC Arrive so you'll need to wait for one to be released.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] starsoccer9:
thanks

btw i actully have a custom rom if you want to test it out. it should be fully unlocked and at the newest update 8107 or whatever. tell me if you do and ill go and upload it somewhere.

ps: is there anyway to backup my texts and such without interop unlocking it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jhonny:

ur problem has been mentioned before

mate

you havnt read post 1 ...first page

you have bootloader 5.11... which means you can NOT flash rspl.

first you have to downgrade rom/rspl

sh4d0w86 has the best instructions here... i advise you to read first before you brick your phone.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cotulla:
yes, you can. All security unlocked phones, except Spark, can use RSPL / HSPL.

Security Unlocked usually means that it was unlocked (unofficial) to change language rom. in other words it should be not official for your country. I don't think official htc warranty services will support it.

Hi!

Was this a "glitch in the matrix" or M$ DOS attack revenge deu to WP7 HARDSPL?

XDA was down for several minutes on other cause or "they had cut the wires...". Me paranoid :confused:.

Wouldn't be fair to extinguish these great SPL tools. I suggest to propagate the files as torrents to survive.

Cotulla, if I was to ask about the new MAGLDR for Leo, would the new MAGLDR update allow us to update to more recent WP7 updates or is this some sort of technical release of fixing bugs and a couple of new stuff?

I really love what you've done with LEO and we know there are driver related problems with LEO in regards to WP7, but we're really wanting Mango now! :P

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] grunge100:
I am sorry to get off topic, but I have a small question. I have the spark w, with spl

2.1.23xxx. The steps needed to install a custom ROM are as follows: install RSPL or HSPL then flash a custom rom like 7740 version 3 spark DFT freedom ROM. Is this correct, or am I missing something ..

Thanks....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Pr0xiMUS:
1st install official ROM with 1.XX SPL (you got sticky thread here). Then install RSPL, and then instal HSPL. And finally, install custom ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I know this is a Dumb question but, Can I install HSPL on my Spark_w(Verizon phone) and stick with my current config (on Verizon 8107 with Interop Unlock) I have now or do I need to flash a custom rom once I install HSPL ?

Just would like to get root access with my current config (Dont want to lose my marketplace game saves right now). I will move to a custom rom in time but, not this week.

Possable?

BTW. Thanks for supporting the Spark_W glad we can play too now...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] grunge100:
Proximus,

Thanks for your response, but why do I have to install a ROM with spl 1.xx first. My spl of 2.xxx is supported. Shouldn't I just install RSPL/HSPL then the custom ROM. Please explain...

Thanks again.

hi grunge100

yes you are correct...pointless

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

ok.... go to settings on phone...look at firmware number... last 3 digits are important

thats the region number.

look for stock/nodo rom ending with the same last 3 numbers and try to flash.

people have reported that they are missing usb/seriel but still worked for them...

if it dont work for you , you might have to try goldcard trick

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

good question, dont know if you can or cant?

need more info, enter bootloader .... need all info from tri coulor.

but if you can install hspl... no you dont have to install custom rom straight away.

by installing hspl, i dont think you will gain root access

WP7 noob, legacy chef..

Hello. Quick intro: I use to cook for Omnia 1 & 2's with WinMo 6.5 and such. I've released dozens of ROMs and whatnot so cooking/flashing/customizing is nothing new.

I've recently stepped up to VZW HTC Trophy mwp6985 (aka Spark_W). It shipped with Mango, told me to do some updates, and updates failed. I hard reset the phone through 'settings' menu ( not like I had anything on it) and then the notification never came back.

When using "DFT_RSPL_WP7FG3_LAUNCH.exe" it warns not to have MNG on the SPL loader which i do. Does that mean Mango? because SPL version is 2.1.xxxxx. I'll upload 2 pictures so that you guys have full specs and all, and trust me, I've READ THROUGH the forum so don't complain to me about not reading. I would just like an opinion about how safe it is or what steps I need to take to remove MNG.

You guys know this new stuff and because I'm not familiar nor fully understanding, I'm not sure what all this means yet. I"M LEARNING and willing to learn fast, maybe become a chef (although late in the scene) and bring whatever skills I have to help you guys out. BUT i really want to/need to toy with this stuff. I just dont want to brick the device being 6 days old!

Anyway.... I apologize in advance if I overlooked something and am being repetitive of someone's previous post...

I used 2nd version of DFT XSPL to install HSPL on my HTC 7 Pro.

According to what is quoted above, do you suggest to install this last version of HSPL?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dandrayan:
After applying the HSPL, is it expected to receive 80180008 errors when trying to send official update CABs to the phone? Am I limited to only flashing full ROMs now? Also, backups created before applying the HSPL now fail to restore, is this normal?

My test HTC Arrive is on 7740, downgraded v4.3 OSPL to v1.25 OSPL, installed HSPL v1.29, then tried using the Update Cab Sender tool to apply the diff-7.10.7740.16-7.10.8107.79-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_c9b7f3bc5bb340ba30473b566b4557de0cf3322e.cab update file but failed with error 80180008: unable to verify update security certificate. This is the same official file downloaded from Microsoft that was used on an identical (stock) unit to successfully update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
Hmm. Sounds complicated but I can see where you are going with it.

For the moment, because the Arrive is so fresh out of the locker, I would reccomend just messing with the released Cooked roms for it which are full roms. Also your backup from Zune will not work on any other rom except whatever came stock on your Arrive (and upgrades up and down it's line) so any custom work around that may cause issues similar to what you are running into. The best thing though is when you install one of the cooked, fully unlocked roms, some of them for other devices are labeled as able to work with future updates and also you can use the 3rd party backup solutions that can backup/restore the phone without zune.

I am running the DFT Freedom rom that mwang is giving out to those who PM him. I will not be hosting/linking to it until he releases it fully. So go to him if you want a (so far) stable, unlocked, wifi sharing enabled, 8107, rom.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I cannot answer that myself. I have a feeling that if there is an option for 2.1 then you are good, but it would be up to one of the DFT to answer it for you, unless some other Verizon Trophy owner can chime in.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dandrayan:
Thanks for the thorough reply. Does the DFT Freedom ROM have the same error screen as ansar's does on boot?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
Nope. No error screens have been seen by me at all.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Looks like we have a little lurker. User Supian found this release for the Verizon Trophy that apparently works to drop the SPL down to 1.25 like the Arrives, then you can RSPL and HSPL it from there. He said it deleted everything (since it is a full rom) but I believe if you don't wish to loose all your data yet (Like pretty much required when installing a new rom), then you can remove the main rom file (the one file that is >200MB, dont know the name, not going to download the file just to check) and then run the RUU updater to flash just the bootloader.

I have a verizon Trophy with the same bootloader. I did not get that message, but the available loaders in the drop down list do not have the same first number, so I just canceled the RSPL program. Do I have any other options????

Or do I need to down grade my bootloader???
