I had my Fire rooted at 6.2.1 with twrp. Last night it installed the OTA 6.2.2 on its own. Which I didnt think was possible but it happened. Anyway Ive been able to reroot with burritoroot2. But I havent been able to get twrp back. Ive tried the KFU, and manual installs but havent been able to. Has anyone else been able to get twrp back after the forced 6.2.2? And if so what did you do? Ive been working on this for hours and hours, reading threads and posts, trying different methods and nothing has worked. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try to Do it manually via adb. Good thing I deleted Otacerts.zip So now im on 6.2.1 and I dont have to worry about the Update.:D

The craziest thing just happened. I was trying to install the new CWM based recovery that was just posted here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454241

And I was able to get further in the installing through adb process. SO I decided to give twrp a last chance. I went to install it and it worked. But when I rebooted it wasnt twrp it was the CWM based recovery. So Im not sure how it installed the other, but I now have CWM on my fire and am running a full backup now.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Hey my question is the following.

Seeing as the Interop Unlock doesn't work for any HTC devices older than version 7720 I'm gonna try the following:

Restore a 7720 backup onto the phone, hard reset it and entirely start over.

Thing is, I dont own a 7720 backup anymore and I really dont wanna try flashing myself.

Question: Can anyone upload his/her 7720 backup from a European HTC HD7 (I'm Belgian btw) so that I can try this proces and hopefully get the interop unlock done this way without flashing?

I wanna start all over for the reason that my phone is draining my battery faster than a $20 hooker when the Navy ships come into port.

[edit]: If I hard reset now it will show up as a Mango phone with 8107 standard on it, which is NOT entitled to be Interop Unlocked, till Heathcliff comes up with something awesome!

[edit2]: In case you still have your 7720 backup available from Zune backup at this moment, you can find it under

"C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update"

, its the file that looks like "

f3874e8d - c6f37f88 - c1504a27 - f0452346"

that I need

[edit3]: I did read that backups are phone specific but it wouldnt hurt to give it a shot as I really dont want to flash :)

Any help / link to the backup is highly appreciated!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
as you, yourself, said... back-ups are device specific. so, not worth it.

if the reason you want to revert back to a previous version is because of battery...

01. why not try a different Radio?

02. why not reset?

03. maybe try a Custom ROM? ...though that means flashing.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Well was worth a shot, what I had in mind that if i used that backup, I would have the stuff aka device of said person. Then hard reset and my system would be wiped clean, starting up with 7720.

01) I might try a different radio but I after searching a bit I found a few posts saying that the radio wont do much for the battery, well maybe a bit but not noteworthy.

02) I did try a reset, it starts up with 8107 then, and the battery IS fixed then... problem is, you cant interop unlock anything above 7720, which I kinda really need ;)

03) I've read some tutorials about flashing a custom rom, and they all say to revert back to NoDo before even attempting it... thing is, I cant find any NoDo European rom (the links are dead). And even if I manage to find one (found just the one) its a branded one, while my phone is an unbranded phone.

Also that guide said in the comments that an unbranded phone is only flashable to NoDo with the goldcard method, which I'm not fond of using frankly.

So I guess I just have to wait till Heathcliff comes up with a way to interop unlock v2 mango devices :(

Thanks for your reply though!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
01. everybody gets different results with battery... perhaps your device would greatly benefit from a different Radio. the great thing is, flashing a new Radio won't touch the OS.

03. did you see the tutorial i wrote? link in my signature.

also, i fixed all the download links on the XDA Wiki Shipped ROMs page. link in my signature, as well.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
01) Ah ok, I might try the radio thing then, only difficulty is that there are so many and no real threads saying which one could be more beneficial than which. (I know much of this is based on the personal device instead of the OS)

Especially I just read that it wont touch the OS, which I initially thought it did in some way.

03) however I did see the tutorial and im inclined to try that as well. The only issue is that I would like to use the 7.5 shipped ROM if any but that leaves me with 3 questions.

--> I see the HTC HD7 non shipped ROMS section, seeing as I'm from Europe there is only one (the european one) non shipped ROM under Mango, are you certain that that is the one I need? aka does that work on my HTC HD7 for sure?

--> Which is the version of that Mango, is that the 7720 I asked in my original thread or is that an updated version, like 7740 or so? (seeing as it says "Test ROM")

--> Or would you recommend using the "Windows Phone 7 Unbranded ROMs (NoDo)" and if so, there are 2 European ones, seeing as I'm a total noob on that, which one belongs to my phone and why? (cause 1 says ROM 3.03 and the other 1.70 which is a huge difference but no clue in what.. :$)

Thanks in advance, the answers gotten have been very helpful so far!

[edit] The ROM I just asked these 2 questions about.. I'm sorry to say this but I can't download it for the simple reason that apparantly the download button wants to go to MegaUpload but that site has been thrown offline by the FBI as you propably know.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
01. visit the Radio Wiki page, instructions are there.

03. only use Shipped ROMs, not Test or Unbranded ROMs.

what is your device's Firmware revision number and Bootloader version?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
For the wiki link, I've found that and I will try this unless the ROM works, seems like a more permanent solution. Its propably some app using battery without me knowing so just wanted to perform a hard reset, which is impossible without my 7720 backup (for interop reasons)

What I didnt really get out of that topic and related ones refered to in that topic is if I pick a radio above the one I now have (the mango with tethering) for say a 5.51...radio from preNoDo, will I lose anything special, like the tethering itself or is that just a "title name"?

---

But I have an unbranded phone, wont it be bad to put a branded ROM on there or will that mather be erased when I hard reset after putting the ROM on?

Or am I missing the whole point of Branded ROM here, I thought that had to do with things as if you were a AT&T user or Tmobile user or summit cause I am neither of the above. As I said, first time.

It's just that on some threads for custom HD7 roms I've read that if you have an unbranded phone and want to downgrade: "forget it". Which is exactly what I have imo.

Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51004.401

Bootloader version: 5.10.2250.0 (132968)

[edit] I am that far (I know it's yet to begin ofc) that i've finally started the download of "RUU​_Schubert​_S_HTC​_Europe​_4.05​.401​.02_Radio​_5.69​.09.29a​..." file (the only European file under Mango, 7720, the one above Ethernet Sharing)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
01. that is just a label really; informing where the Radio originated from.

02. 'Unbranding' is really 'Branding' to the Europe Shipped version. the Europe Shipped version, however, isn't set-up to a particular brand [read: carrier], therefore 'unbranded.' make sense?

03. you should be Europe branded... therefore, on that XSPL Tutorial, you should be able to downgrade your 5.xx Bootloader using Step 06's method.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Ok, that does make sense. Way more than the information I read on several other topics, wherefor thank you kindly!

I shall take note of the 06's method to downgrade my bootloader.

That leaves me with 2 small questions, there's a little section called "if RSPL'd and HSPL is desired". I have no clue what that is, should I just follow the steps and do as it says anyways or is that optional (refering to "if desired")?

And secondly, "38. download ROM of choice. Shipped ROMs are available, here."

I am downloading "RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe" which should be the correct 7720 ROM for my phone (hopefully?). By "ROM of choice", does that mean I can put Deepshining or NextGen+ on there as well or isnt that an option for my Unbranded HD7? (like they both warn for in their install tutorials)

Now that I think of it my phone is like you said Branded to Europe, which means they warn for "unbranded ROMs" like the one in your siggy's third link amirite?

---

But that aside, I thank you very much for the help, it's highly appreciated, now lets hope my HD7 wont brick on me and I'll be a happy man :p *moves mouse to the "Thank" button* ;)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
01. RSPL is a temporary SPL, which reverts back to OSPL after reset. HSPL is a permanent SPL, which replaces OSPL. so, if you don't want to go through the hassle of RSPL'ing every time you want to flash a Custom ROM... i suggest HSPL'ing.

02. with XSPL, one can flash any Schubert ROM, including Custom ROMs, yes.

03. unsure what you are asking, sorry.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Basically what I was asking if flashing the Mango 7720 shipped ROM works, if I could use this method (seeing as the tutorial says "Rom of choice") to Flash NextGen+ instead?

Cause in that tutorial (could be the one from Deepshining too) there's a line that says if you have an unbranded ROM dont even try to downgrade the bootloader cause that'll brick the phone.

But from the info you just gave me I can make up that my phone's ROM is not unbranded but Branded to Europe or am I that far off?

(meaning that I can in fact downgrade the Bootloader and Flash a custommade ROM instead)

[edit] being this kind of a noob and all I kinda got what HSPL and RSPL does, but what is XSPL? You've mentioned it in a previous post in HD7 General but cant seem to find any down-to-earth info. Its not in the tutorial either, unless XSPL just means Bootloader 3.xx or 2.xx, then I got it ;)

So if i want Deepshining (aka custom ROM) I need to do XSPL instead of RSPL or HSPL? (XSPL, for custom Roms, I assume... means I need step 19 instead of 06 or run through everything from bootloader 5 -> 4 -> 3 to get to step 19 aka XSPL)

---

Summing up, if I want the 7720 mango I do step 06 and continue at 30.

If I want a custom rom for say Deepshining I do step 06 -> 09 and from then on every step till the bottom? If that's correct I got the picture ;)

(Thanks for the effort here btw)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
XSPL is basically ?SPL, meaning it refers to both RSPL & HSPL.

during the downgrading Bootloader process and the XSPL process, only Shipped ROMs can be used. only once XSPL is installed can Custom ROMs be flashed to your device.

does that answer your questions?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Well now you see how much of a student I still am, but yes I think I got it

Refering to your tutorial, I see 2 scenarios

* I want the 7720 mango I do to step 06 and continue at 30.

* I want a custom rom for say Deepshining I do to step 06, then continue with 09 and from then on every step till the bottom?

If that's correct I got the picture and my questions are answered entirely ;)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
hmm, well, i haven't ever actually tried ansar's SLSPL before... so, i can't tell you what exactly to do after using it. maybe report back here after installing SLSPL, then i can guide you where to go from there?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Ok I will, I'll start right now and see where that brings me, starting off with step 01, downloading Task 29 and 00. Then the SLSPL.

Lets hope for a nonbrick :p
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Ok, I now have

Os version: 7.10.7720.68

Bootloader version 4.5.2250.0

I assume I continue with step 09. in your tutorial if I want Deepshining ROM or stop if I'm happy to interop unlock my phone now and update to 8107 through Zune?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
yep, continue to Step 09 on the XSPL Tutorial. :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Okiedo, next step

Downloaded "Schubert_Europe_1.54.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10U"

Did steps till 18.

Bootloader: 1.54.2250.0

[edit] nevermind what I wrote here, continueing with step 30 seeing as you suggested HSPL instead of RSPL seeing as I read that RSPL voids waranty or summit.

What is the difference "DFT_HSPL_WP7FG1_INSTALL" & "DFT_HSPL_WP7FG2_INSTALL". I know its Gen 1 & 2, but which one do I have and how do I check or is it just NoDo = G1 and Mango = G2, in that case I have to launch G2?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
two rar files..? if referring to XSPL, only need FG2 aka the latest version.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
There we go, HSPL3.1.2250.0

CotullaHSPL 0x07

So now I have the downloaded and extracted Deepshining ROM, I have "RUU_signed.nbh"

I run Task 29 or the ROMupdateUtlity.exe (inside the ROM) and that should be the end?

[edit] every time Deepshining comes up with a new rom or I want any ROM installed I have to go through all these steps again right? Or can I just flash another ROM on there as I desire, aka an updated version of Deepshining for example?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
most chefs include task29 with their ROM, so yes, you can just run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe or just put the *.nbh in the same folder as task29 and run it that way.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
My phone booted up saying "Deepshining Custom ROM" so I assume it worked!!!

---

Seeing as I am the total noob still, I must say that I couldnt / wouldnt have done any of this without your help, I am most greatful!

The tutorial + help deserves the XDA medal, thank you for your time and effort!

---

A last thing maybe, if I want another ROM or an update of this ROM, I need to do all the steps I did tonight again right?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh4d0w86:
glad i could be f help.

if you need have HSPL installed, you needn't repeat any of the other steps besides the actual flashing of the ROM. note, however, when flashing a Shipped ROM, HSPL will be replaced by OSPL from the Shipped ROM, and therefore unXSPL'ed.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxnov1990:
Fair enough, just checked and HSPL is installed again.

There we go, put that in my little back up folder as a reminder.

Well I guess all my questions have been answered, I'm now a bit (quite a bit even) smarter about how to deploy things like that, cause I swear it was entirely Chinese before any of the help I received :)

And to others, I hope this has given or will give people who have the same issues about installing ROMS something to work with.

Hereby I will leave my last thank you and the thumbs up ;)

So THANKS ever so much! :p

Hello everyone, as the title says, I just upgraded from my vibrant to this device (got the white one, it's friggin hot). Loved the vibrant, had ICS running very stable for daily use, but now I'll have a nice backup/something to dink around with for development.

Anyway I'm about to do a root, which I'm good with, but the Vibrant was practically unbrickable if you got a jig to force it into download mode. I feel a lot more cautious moving forward with this device simply because I'm not totally familiar with it yet, so my questions are these:

1. Is there a way to ODIN back to stock should the booty pooty hit the fan?

2. Do most of the kernels in the development section work with any rom (excluding CM7 obviously)?

3. Which ROMS are the most stable at this point? Saw that CM7 can be used as a daily driver, was just wondering which one is the most worthwhile at this point in terms of stability, speed, and the ability to use a good overclock kernel. Obviously everyone has their own tastes/opinions, so there are no wrong answers here.

thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
Welcome! You just purchased one bad azz phone!

As far as going back to stock your best bet is as soon as you flash CWM through odin is to make a back up of your stock rom. That will unroot you and removes kernel etc.Stock rom . Then to be fully stock just flash stock recovery"removes CWM"

As far as Daily drivers I use Zombie rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1395583

Juggs ,Mr X,Master& slave all have stable roms.

CM7 is here but I wouldn't really consider it a daily driver ,but its fast and fun to play with.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GreggoryD502:
Yea. Dewizzed is running faux's kernel, which you can overclock to 1.73. Download a cpu control app, like system tuner, or set cpu. (im using set cpu with great success), Start out overclocking slowly. Go up a little bit at a time, and dont set the settings to stay on boot til you make sure your phone can handle it. Then set the governor to performance and run your antutu test and see what happens.
