[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
You are not understanding me :-(, I have wiped already millions of times in millions of different ways just to get it work. And no, I don't have the device connrected when I upgrade, it won't work properly then, I have tried to wait for the progress bar to "start" move it won't happen the battery will die, and nothing happened.

I can't go in with normal Recovery mode, can only go in with CWM, the normal recovery mode is really small, I mean only 3mb, while the froyo version is 5mb. Now I am asking if you have the time to upload the image files from 2.3 V2, the ones in forums are for V1. Which I don't know might conflict.

Thanks again for trying to help me out, this is really frustrating to get it to work.

**EDIT**

I worked it out !

I think I understood what you meant, I did as you told I started first with pluggin in the charger forced it to upgrade and now it's upgrading, thank you so much dancer_69. I was going to go tomorrow to buy a new 2nd hand smartphone. But now I can save my money for other things !

**EDIT of EDIT **

I seem to have downgraded to B133, I will try now with B158 2.3 V2 again and hopefully it will work now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Yes, wasn't clear because I don' t remember what I've done and solve it. But I think that I did it like you discribed too.

Anyway I'm glad that was helpful(kind of)..

And don' t give up so soon with smartphone' s bricks, I've faced brick kind of problems many times and if the device it' s not completely dead, there is something you can do. Maybe need more search or many tries(sometimes the same things) but at the end(and of course If there isn't a hardware problem) device can unbrick.
[HD Mini General] DarkDream75:
hello guys,

i searched all the internet about my problem but all results dont help me now, so i hope this board can help me with the smartphone problem!

my HTC HD Mini (Photon) was my business-smartphone (now i have the iPhone).

I never changed any on the HTC Smartphone, actually the Original Software on the Phone with WM6.5 (i´m from Austria!)

Bootinfo (Press PowerOn and Volume down):

PB92100

SPL-1.07.0000

ENGID 0xF

PCBID 0x80

MicroP(LED) 0x05

TP SYNAPTICS

------------------------------

Sorry forgotten: i installed SPB-Home, but with "off" for the automaticly BackUp Option! - Never i had connected the smartphone with PC/Laptop!

------------------------

Now to my problem with the HTC HD Mini (Photon):

Our Business Rules says the Smartphones must have a "Hardware"-Password, i mean the Lockscreen Password - before HomeScreen! - not the SIM-Card-Password!!!

since weeks/months my HTC dont accept my lockscreen password, the device go back to continue the lockscreen password entry, without error or any!

i read many articels at internet, and the results says: it´s a bug on WM6.5 and the answer for this bug is "Hardware Reset" - but with Hardware-Reset all personality datas are away.

unfortunately i dont have a backup from my smartphone (my data), and there are many important data on it, so i cant accept lose all the data - my businessadministrator can´t also help me.

Now my Question to this Board, and i hope someone can help!

Only i want the Data from my Smartphone (Contacts, SMS etc.), installed programs and anothers on the smartphone are not important!

1) Is there any way (chance) to go in the smartphone with a tool/program by the PC (without Program says Unlock your Device, all Programs what i have say UnlockDevice to Connect)

2) Is there any Chance to Boot the Device from SD-Card?, when some Software packed on it (when yes - which software?), same like PC Boot says: "want boot from SD-card" (remember: i cant installing programs or apps at device now)

3) Exist a flash without losing personality data

4) Or any other possibility than of the articles listed overhead

PLEASE help me to recover/safe my data from my smartphone! so i have a backup or anything. so after the hardware reset i have all personality datas on smartphone without WM6.5 bug.

Many Thanks

DarkDream
[HD Mini General] lupoalberto74:
have you tried to sync your phone with your PC? ... if you have windows 7 download the software it already, if not you have to get the activesync ...
[HD Mini General] DarkDream75:

3. Flash ANY Stock ROM of the HTC_Europe operator (except a 5.10 one!!)

>. keep the provided ROM as your eyes!!

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] avensakias:
Thanks A LOT .!!!

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

Your ROM according to your firmware [2250.21.51002.207] is 5.10.207.02

The Ansar's method above for now works only on Europe roms 5.xx.401.xx

See??
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] reslan_912:
Let me see if i get this straight....

1-we turn off the phone and boot into tri-color(volume down)

2-we use the ROMUtility.exe and flash you SLSPL

3-again after it finish we boot to tri-color

4-again we use the ROMUtility.exe to flash Stock ROM like 3.1

5-after flash we install RSPL and HSPL

6-flash any custom ROM

????????????????

i need to ask what is the difference between branded and unbranded ROM ?

i live in lebanon...im afraid to do the process and my gsm line wont work again....and is that related to the branded ROM ? cuz guys you say europe...o2...tmous....all are operators....but here we dont have things like this....a operator...who manages the updates and all things...and am confused about 401 666 ....those numbers in ROMs my cell info:

HTC HD7 t9292

OS: 7.10.7740.16

firmware revision number :2550.21.51004.401

bootloader version:5.10.2250.0.0(132968)

and for future use can i again go to offical ROM ? like flash orginal ROM and update in zune ? thanks for your great work

regards Rouslan

Hi Ansar

I have a tmous HTC hd7 with bootloader 5.10. This method will not work with me I guess. But there is also something strange in my phone when I boot in the bootloader mode I do not see usb/serial message...Is that normal
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Try to flash this SLSPL ROM even without sub/serial message ...

In no case this SLSPL ROM can harm the device

If does not connect or does not fit to the operator of the device

it will simply return an error 214

A user with TMOUS and usb/serial ok, reported that this HTC_Europe SLSPL ROM worked!!

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

You probably face the half-brick device issue

If you can connect to zune then can try to update to 7.10.7740.16

If not you may try to return it to HTC and ask for a replacement or repair

The installed firmware and bootloader are official HTC (not custom) and

thus the device does not brake any warranty

Regards, ansar
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
Worked in 2 TMOUS users after SIM unlock

Hi,

This is to inform you that 2 TMOUS users did report that

after SIM unlock they did run successfully SLSPL HTC_Europe

Probably they got also unlocked bootloaders

but any user TMOUS SIM unlocked can check it out, it is safe

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] darkeingel:
Hello all & ansar.

I got a new phone some days ago - it's a T-Mobile HD7 that is sim-unlocked because i'm using it here, in my country.

The phone did have 7720 and 5.10.xxx bootloader version when I got it. I've read a lot about downgrading and unlocking the phone in the last days and I know it's a little tricky, but I want to give it a shot.

In my attempts to do something with the device, I've pushed the two new updates that T-Mobile don't supports for now - 7740 and 8107.

My info now is:

Although this updates the phone is still branded and Carrier: T-Mobile US :) so I wanted to get it "break free" and willing to try any test - as I already see that you reported some TMOUS users getting this working.

I've downloaded your ROM, unzipped, and connected the device to the PC, but at the start it gives me Error 294 - Invalid vender ID.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Alex.

You may try the y cable method

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ansar.ath.gr:
SL SPL is valid for 5.10.x and higher bootloaders!!

Hi,

Although has been mentioned that SL SPL is valid for 5.10 and higher bootloaders

the title hs been revised to >=5.10.x (due to limited 85 chars)

Even if hTC will try to lock higher vesrions, a new SL SPL will be created!!!

I think they are discouraged now and will keep clear development only!!!
