i have yet to actually see one for sale. you'll want to make one. the picture on that post shows how to.

unfortunately, i haven't actually ever done that method, so i can instruct you on a proper course of action. however, i suggest contacting 5ft24 as i got the instructions from one of his posts. regards.

thank you, that is most appreciated. hope that means i answered your question. :)
[HD7 General] erebusting:
the pics does not seem to be loading
[HD7 General] erebusting:
if anyone knows where I can buy one pre built let me know, otherwise could you point me in the direction of how to build one proper for this operation ? I would really appreciate it --I saw a few topics/ threads with the topic mentioned, but for the most part the pics dont seem to load so I cannot get a good visual on what to do

I cannot get my HD7 to downgrade to pre-nodo.

I keep getting the 238 Error: File Read. "The Update Utility cannot open the requested file. Please check your update utility".

I downloaded the Bell pre-nodo stock rom twice, just in case the first was corrupt or something. I am at a loss. :(
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you might try to contact 5ft24 has i haven't actually ever downgraded via Y-Cable before nor have i ever used Goldcard method.

what is your Bootloader version & Firmware revision number?
[HD7 General] the92playboy:
Bootloader 4.5.2250.0

Firmware revision 2250.21.40502.666
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
did you trying to flash Bell Mobility 2.16.666.02?
[HD7 General] the92playboy:
Yep, that's what I am trying to do but cannot get it to work.

I download the Schubert_BellMobility_WWE_2.16.666.02_Radio_5.64.09.11a_22.40.50.15U file, and then place the Task 00 tool (HD7_RUUWrapper_00)

in the Schubert->Stock folder, but everytime I try to run it, I get the same error.

---------- Post added at 02:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Also, when I check the properties of the Stock SPL Signed, it shows 0 bytes for size, which I don't think is right.

EDIT:

So I decided to install the newest version of 7-zip, as I starting to suspect that the issue may be there. Lo and behold, it worked. Thanks Shadow for the help, much appreciated.

cant see nothing in tri-color screen

All my thanks to you men, but i have the a problem. i could downgrade my bootloader from 5 to 4. but when i tried to pass to 3. i started to cry.

when i put my phone in the tricolor screen it only shows me

PD29100 SS-BC (4K)

PLEASE can u help me
[HD7 General] the92playboy:
So, I think I have hit a brick wall. I run XPSL and get this error:

[Error Description]:

Invalid ModelID. This means that your phone not supported.

This installer supports only limited number of the phones.

SPARK, MOZART, MONDRIAN, GOLD, SCHUBERT.

If you have phone from this list, but still have this error, please contact with DFT team.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (235)

[Error Description]:

ModelID is 'PD291300'. Please report this info to DFT.

[Info]: USBWorkRSPL.cpp (234)

I double checked, and my bootloader is now 2.16.2250.0 and my firmware revision 2250.21.40502.666

I think the issue is the phone is branded, and I don't want to go through the hassle of Goldcard or DIY cable. And all I wanted was Internet Sharing! lol, oh well.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
glad to hear you figured out the issue. :)

unsure why you downgraded to OSPL 4.xx then to 3.xx...

it sounds like a half-brick. try the Y-Cable method or Goldcard method, else only option is Jtag.

dang, hadn't thought of that...

i am even unsure is those methods would even work.

best try asking in the XSPL forum or contacting Cotulla or mwang directly.

GPS problem

Hi there,

I have flashed my HD7 yesterday with deepshining mango v7.5 8107 ROM and I cannot get GPS signal in any program that uses GPS signal?

Location is turned on... any clues?

I have followed this procedure:

1. HSPL-ed my phone with 3.1.2250 version

2. downloaded Deepshining mango ROM and just started ROMupdateUtility... is that correct procedure or I have had to do the 29 procedure?

The phone works fine except there is no GPS signal...
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you will want to ask dotcompt about this in the Deepshining thread.

only thing i can say is, try a different Radio and/or a different ROM with the problem persists.
[HD7 General] m0n0m:
Thanks sh4d0w86

I have solved problem by reflashing again :)

I have flashed this way:

Copied deepshining.nbh into wrapperTool 29 folder and started wrapper 29, process finished successfully and now everything works great :)
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
awesome, glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue. :)

Question regarding RSPL / HSPL

@paallday what do you mean "U want hspl" ?? SO do u i have to install HSPL AFTER RSPL ---- OR go directly from RSPL to Flashing DEEPSHINING ROM
[HD7 General] paallday:
Either really... Rspl is temp root, it makes it so u can install hspl, so yea do Rspl, then hspl then deepshineing

Sent from my PG86100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you may flash a Custom ROM with RSPL, but you'll need to re-XSPL anytime you want to flash another.

Can i downgrade please?.

[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
if you don't have a NoDo back-up only options are: Y-Cable (Step #7a), Goldcard method (covered here) or jtag.
[HD7 General] lulisat:
backup means that i need to restore my phone ?. i have restored to nodo but bootloader didn changed m8 .

thanks
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
if your device is running NoDo, again, you need to update to Mango via Zune.

the HTC update will 'upgrade' your Bootloader to 4.xx, which can be easily revert to 3.xx or lower by flashing a Shipped ROM.
[HD7 General] lulisat:
m8 i have restored once ,but again update to latest 8107,And now i cant restore again, i dont know why,but with zune i cant find option restore like before.

thanks
[HD7 General] Lifear:
I have also Bootloader 5.11.2250.0(13440) with Firmware 2250.21.51101.207. Does this mean: If i have a Zune Backup with NoDo (or Pre-NodDo), i can restore this Backup and with this i can revert to a older Bootloader?
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
with device connected, open Zune and navigate to Settings -> Update -> Restore

you can restore via Zune back-up, yes, but it will only restore the OS.

after the Restore completes, you will want to update your device via Zune.

HTC updates include new, upgraded Bootloaders, which is what actually reverts your Bootloader to an older version.
[HD7 General] DON2003:
Hi, read the great tutorial, will try flash my HD7S on 4.1 bootloader and SPL soon to try the custom roms,

I just have few questions before I starts the process,

1. on flashing the radio file, we just need to task 00 the SPL_Signed.nbh in stock folder and no need to mind the RUU_Unsigned.nbh if want to stay with the radio?

2. is it recommended to go for HSPL rather than RSPL everytime flashing a new ROM? why? any side effects on HSPL or it can easily go back to OSPL?

3. do we need to flash the new radio? or it is ok to stay with Mango radio version? because my unit is HD7S, and there is no radio available, and as I see if I Task 00 the RUU_Unsigned.nbh, I will get the older version of radio (NoDo version), which should be much better radio for me?

4. on flashing custom roms, should I use Task 29 or teh ROMUpdateUtility.exe include with most custom roms? also as mention on tutorial, flashing RUU_Signed.nbh will back to OSPL, where NextGen rom is included, will it?

many thanks in advance all gurus who can help answer all my question before I starts the process to enjoy my HD7S,

more power!

--one last question, when I downgrade the bootloader, will the phone still boot as normal and after HSPL process, will it still boot and usable? there is no effect with these process that affect the OS? even the bootloader & SPL is changed? thanks
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
you flash SPL_Signed.nbh with task00, yes. put the *.nbh in the same folder as task00.

RSPL is only saved in memory, HSPL is permanent. as soon as you leave the Bootloader, RSPL is replaced by OSPL. HSPL replaces OSPL. can be easily reverted back to OSPL from HSPL.

you needn't change Radio, but OSPL 3.xx or lower is required to XSPL. SPL_Signed.nbh has the Radio bundled with the SPL, so no way to avoid downgrading Radio, as well.

the *.exe you are referring to that is bundled with most Custom ROMs is task29 unpacked.

i don't understand the second part of this question.

boot process is the same with XSPL, instead of OSPL.

i don't understand the other parts to this question.
[HD7 General] DON2003:
btw I have the HD7S from AT&T, seems there is no available stock ROM anywhere for it, I would like to backup the stock ROM on my phone before doing anything,

how can I do it? I would like to share the stock ROM I backup too for XDA so anyone who need it can easily find it, and so I can revert in case anything bad happens,

pls teach me how to do the right backup,

TIA

How do i know which radio i should download? I have an htc hd7 t9292 and 4.5 bootloader.. i downloaded some but it stays stuck on 0%.. i have to download mango or others? i cant get it
[HD7 General] erebusting:
thanks for the guide n all, I just made my Y cable, and I am now stuck at the next step of downloading a Nodo or Pre-Nodo rom ...

I tried all the links specific to the TMOUS HD7, they either do not work or belong to a file hosting service which in turn lets you download at a significantly slower speed....

my internet disconnects a lot (actually more like A LOT!!!!!!!!! lol) and I have no where to get the file from at the moment...so I am currently on try # 12 (I think ?) and hoping it will complete without interruption again...(it currently says 1 hour left @ about 30 kb/s or less)....

I doubt my internet right now and would like to ask if anyone has a faster link at least for me to dl one of the roms I need?

...I would really appreciate it very much...

thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

done, and the problem is my internet connection, it disconnects almost every where hour or every other hour...some days are not as bad though...It is rediculous and I need to do something about it but that is another story...

it intrerrupts my dls a lot and since it is a lonnnggg download there leaves a big window for it to interrupt even one small time and without being able to resume it I am screwed....

so I am watching this one here (at 61 mb / 190 ...so I got a ways to go still... and it still says "1 hour" lol)...

update:

FINALLY got it downloaded, downgrading now and onward with the tut now (finally! haha man that was annoying! lol)

but the device doesnt reboot and the rom is still SPL

please advice

Hi Guys =)

I am really really new to this modding Scene ...

I unlocked several Iphones ans flashed old Sony phones..

Months ago, i tried to Spl my Htc Hd7 4.xx

Now my phone is halfbricked =[

I bought a new Htc Hd7

now i am really afraid to halfbrick it again ...

So.. I want to usw costum Roms.

What i have to do ?

I mean .. What is SPL,...

I dont understand the differences
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
the SPL is the Bootloader.

OSPL is Original [read: stock] Bootloader

RSPL is a temporarily unlocked Bootloader

HSPL is a permanently unlocked Bootloader

just follow the steps.

basically, you are flashing a NoDo or Pre-NoDo Shipped ROM for your device to downgrade Bootloader.

only once the Bootloader is downgraded to 3.xx or below can one XSPL.
[HD7 General] Domi_da_Housecat:
Thanks =)

So,I have to choose my radio I like to flash to the phone ..

What is the difference between pre-nodo and nodo ?

there are three types of Radios for pre-nodo

Europe 1.16.401.01 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Europe 1.54.401.01 5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10U

Europe 1.60.401.01 5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U

which one is the "best"? (Or recommended one)

I am from Austria

So I have to take the European ones right ?

I bought my first phone from "3" (three) (like o2 or at&t)

it was stock-sim-unlocked

My second one is from A1.

A1 unlocked it for me after I bought it, so I am able to use my "3"-sim card in

my A1 HTC HD7

My Question:

It's locked again after flashing the radio ?

Or is it unlocked forever ?!
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:

So does the radio we choose have to be NoDo or Pre-NoDo? I would prefer to use the Mango 5.69.09.29a radio.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:
for Step 06? to downgrade SPL, using SPL_Signed.nbh

after you have RSPL or HSPL you could flash whichever Radio one desires from RUU_Unsigned.nbh

And what's the point of flashing radios etc, does it just improve your call quality?

SIM unlock? only way i know of to have it paid for.

doesn't need to be locked by your carrier, though.

you can search online for cheaper solutions.

yes, all data on device will be erased.

you should be able to do a back-up/restore via Zune.

time varies, definitely less than ten minutes, though.

not exactly sure which Carrier's you two have...

but just download a stock Shipped ROM (NoDo or Pre-NoDo) and flash the SPL_Signed.nbh to your device.

that should downgrade your SPL version.

Htc HD7 TMOUS stuck in bootscreen help

Hello, sorry for my questions but I've spent a whole month on trying to solve a problem with my HTC HD7. It is stuck in bootscreen and if I try bootloader it shows as in the image attached. I read the forum (followed those steps), I tried different shipped roms from TMOUS -last one I tired was RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE and it didn't even started the update..stucked at 0%.

I want to mention that during the setup steps there is a label showing phone image and the new update image; well, at phone image I get blank space -> as if it doesn't have anything on it.

I also read about goldcards and I don't know if I should try that.

I remember that once it showed in bootloader PD29100 and now it shows

Advice needed

Hi, id appreciate any help...

I have a HD7, Running Deep Shining V7 Rom. I was unhappy with the slow wifi and 3g, so decided to flash a radio only.

However, i didnt read the instructions and flashed a signed radio rom, and managed to upgrade my bootloader to 5.10 !!!...disaster.

So I made a gold card, and cable, and downloaded a european rom with the same bootloader [1.69] as was originally loaded. I renamed it, and put the img file on my sd card. But my HTC just stops at " entering USB Host mode...."

I think everything else is ok, my cable is ok....so im wondering....what rom should i use on the sd card?...because i have deep shining rom running, does it make a difference.
[HD7 General] sh4d0w86:

Ok, now I tried the goldcard method and I don't know if it requires to be sequrity unlocked?

It is stucked at Update in progress... in the goldcard method.

you want a pre-Mango Radio; so NoDo or Pre-NoDo.

but, since you have the HD7S..? only option is the AT&T NoDo Radio.
