ISSUE Found

Hi Dears

During play a music with my htc 7 pro with DFT ROM, I clicked on search button , when Bing started up , the sound of music changed like Dolby turned off.

I tested by headphone and same result occurred.

Please do that with your phones and post the result.

thanks to DFT for your ROM.

thanks all.

does this procudure work for 5.0 SPL?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@arses: Known bug, has existed since at least Mango 7712 and possibly before. It's been reported to Microsoft before, but I guess they didn't care enough to fix it in the time available.

When you start Bing, the audio playback goes from stereo to mono, and any playback modification (such as Dolby or EQ settings from the HTC Sound Enchancer app) stop. When you leave the Bing app music returns to normal.

There was actually a period during the beta where the volume would also double; that was quite a shock! They did fix that, though.

Hi there.

I don't know and can't say cause mine was at 4.5 and I did what I listed above and it work for me.

Still using the same phone, connect to Laptop and Zune with no issue, have sideload to see if it work and it work.

In a nutshell, everything is working as normal up till now :D ;)

Hope I Have Been Of Help. PEACE!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
well even with 4.5 , one cannot restore in Zune using the traditional method

so 5.0 should also be the same

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
Basicallly in 4.5 spl, u can just flash an earlier stock stock rom compatible with yr device region.

So yr method of using 4.5 and zune is nothing special. It just means 4.5 spl can be downgraded in zune using the back up method using the update and restore tool in xda which makes a identical copy including SPL, Radio, boot loader.

Zune backup only backs up the os , not the SPL.

But 5.0 firmware changed the cid of the phone , so any of these techniques do not work as watever backups , custom tools, ect u used earlier were made for the old cid of the phone.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
What do u mean, u mean to say u bricked yr phone and applied dft hspl?

How is that possible?

Because before hspl u need to rspl which depends on yr original spl.

If u damaged yr original spl, how is that u can still use dft hspl?

Please elaborate more on this before u mislead people

I like to know what is yr spl version before u bricked it

What are yr steps from start to finish before bricking and recovering it.

SPL-5.0.2250.1(130701)MNG

I've tried to downgrade to these versions:

The "update" starts but it stops to 1%, phone reboots and no changes are made.

Can you please let me know if there is another version i can use to downgrade to premango so i can get HSPL right?

There is one little success confirmation, but only for HD2:

http://translate.google.cz/translat...=http://wmmania.cz/forum/193/36398/?&start=30

(Principle is use first old SPL_Signed.nbh to reflash locked bootloader by signed version in boot mode and after it use RSPL/HSPL normally).

Edit: For all next readers - please, do not use ROMUpdateUtility method way from this post. This is one point only, which had not success on my own phone. But, I have repeatly success confirmed in PM from many people. Do not believe it anybody, for SPL 5.xx and any devices it is danger and stupid operation! Again - DO NOT USE ANYBODY!

SPL 5x

If your concern is about fixing the half brick issue and not the ability to have HSPL or RSLP on your phone, then install the latest HTC update which has the %x SPL then wait hopeful for a HSPL or RSPL of that version.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Yes, OK. But what is necessary on device halfbricked after latest HTC update? Do you know, how force update installing again? By my discovery it is possible by UpdateWP.exe, when is present update cab link. I have found this link only to nobranded Schubert, Mozart, Trophy and Arrive(GoldC). What is about branded ones and other models, for example my Gold O2O-DE?

Note: I have wrote here any people confirm SPL 5x downgrade a few days ago by signed SPL flashing. Then update to 5x is totally accessible solution.

2nd December 2011: I have got valid SPL-1.2.2250.0 now (HSPL x Mango brick -> Big halfbrick SPL 3.xx -> force HTC OEM Update -> small halfbrick 5.xx -> downgrade by GoldCard -> SPL-1.7.2250.0 -> unbrand -> SPL-1.2.2250.0 :)).

Nice work Martin. You have spent a long time researching. I also have a 7 Pro and I by mistake flashed a 5.x spl and I am not able to downgrade my rom. Although I haven't half-bricked but dont have the freedom of custom roms and even I am looking for ways to downgrade the Spl 5.x. I will keep looking and will keep updating with and details.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tricsio:
It appeared on my device as an OTA from HTC asking me to connect to Zune for an update and there is was.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
I have confirmation from only one Czech man. He has used signed ROM (7004) from Ansar, unzipped only SPL_Signed.nbh (not RUU_Signed.nbh) and applications, then ROMUpdateUtility.exe was able reflash SPL 5.xx to 1.xx. But he has HD7 phone, may be it is cause of success, somebody must discovery it on different device. EDIT: DO NOT USE ROMUPDATEUTILITY TO PHONE WITH SPL 5.XX! This is big mistake, read other posts.

What is time of your 5.xx Gold HTC update? I have tried Mango by Zune today, but Zune find no next HTC OEM update ( I have bricked SPL 3.xx still), then I will return to my unlocked NoDo with any little Mango features. Second question: have you official payed ChevronWP7 unlock? Somebody tells me 5.xx is available only after official unlock for any older/branded models.

Edit: I mean HTC Update is not related to ChevronWP7 official unlock. But, when somebody has rest of U2B2 in his phone (as me), he may has update disabled and unlock may clean this rest. I will try more and refer here.

(In)dependent question: have you anybody downloaded new HTC Connection setup version, which is in Marketplace any days? Is it able to unlock pre-HTCupdated U2B2 Mango like old one? Is it working with registers? Probably not, I mean.

Edit: I have tried it (12 hours of updating and returning) -> New HTC Connection setup is fully working. Only not using ProvXML. :-(

But: By my little analysis HTC FlashLight application does similar work as old Connection setup. Can you somebody experienced see, if it is possible be hacked to make interop-unlock?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Martin7Pro:
Halfbricked problem persists ...

Any little results:

1. To force HTC update ChevronWP7 official unlock is not necessary. When you have dev-unlocked NoDo backup, install U2M7720, push "DoNotU2B2", "OK", "Done", "Chevron unlock", install Mango by Zune and HTC update will occure itself.

2. My phone has SPL 5.10 now, but no line on bottom of tricolore. Somebody told the same here. Can you everybody explain, how is forced your update (along x after Chevron unlock, on intact Mango x after any unlocking experiments before Mango installing, on official x custom ROM)? I had official ROM, SPL halfbricked after 3.xx update. I think this is no right idea, but, may be: official ChevronWP7 unlocked halfbricked phones have fully funkctional SPL 5.xx after HTC update, other halfbricked phones without USB mode. And, non-halfbricked ones have fully funkctional SPL 5.xx all. But, I mean problem is dependent on model/brand/SPL version.

______________________________

News:

By my little discovery "Normal" halfbrick = one line on tricolore = probably error on any bottom SPL adress. More lines (not Serial/USB) on tricolore, possibility to make "Enter USB mode.." by shot+Volume down = probably (I mean) problem on higher SPL addresses. May it be dependent on impossible inner SD card reading in bootloader execution time? I am working on application for SPL code executing from working unlocked WP7 now, but probably it will unsuccessible solution. Some people (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f692/windows-phone-7-handsets-stuck-usb-host-mode-1332481/ etc.) write about GoldCard solution possibility, but can you anybody confirm it? The most experienced flashing man in our country told me 50% probability of success, but rest may be fullbrick forever (JTAG does not able to connect to HTC Gold).

Help request

Big request to all people:

Help to your halbricked friends! (There http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19530970&postcount=7 is confirmation). Especially when you have device, which OEM Update is not present in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 . I have used this primitive .bat script on full time of Zune updating on Windows 7 desktop (Windows XP has the same subpath in Documents and Settings directory):

:HTCBegin

xcopy /E /I /H /R /G /K /O /X /Y "C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\{xyz - xyz - xyz - xyz}\Update" "C:\HTCUpdate1"

xcopy /E /I /H /R /G /K /O /X /Y "C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\{xyz - xyz - xyz - xyz}\Update" "C:\HTCUpdate2"

goto :HTCBegin

(Change {Username} and {xyz - xyz - xyz - xyz} by your own strings from this path, copy this code to new xxxxx.bat file and run before update downloading by Zune) EDIT: See post below, use environment variable %localappdata% or rewrite your own profile path to script.

...\Update subdirectory normally is not present, zune create it in time of update downloading. When script does not want to work, wait for update downloading begin and start it, or create ...\Update subdirectory yourself.

After update downloading (Zune writes "sending to phone") you can stop script by cross mouse clicking.

In bigger of two update directories you will find update cab files. Share it, please (Rapid etc.). Or send me, I will upload all unbricking usable files to my new pages http://htc7pro.howto.cz .

It is better to use it on two(or more)processor computer.

It is usable for all downloads, but OEM update is necessary to locked halfbricked devices.

I am using also net communication sniffing, but directory xcopying is easy way for everybody. M.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Cool idea. I suggest in future though, use %localappdata% (Windows-standard environment variable) instead of "C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local". For one thing, not everybody's user accounts are in the default place (most people who would move them would know enough to edit this script, but still). For another it's simpler, and less stuff for people to mess up.
