USA has different specs and this model is not going to get released here anyway. To the op, cm9 developers are working on this and aosp roms always take some time after release since they have to do some device specific tweaks. Right now most roms will be stock variants.

help me please
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Its a tough and skillful job but can be done! The Riff-box will flash the phone with a standard radio and working spl, and after that you can install a Rom of your choice, the riff box will unlock the phone and make it so it will accept any custom rom or original rom.

You have to disassemble the phone and solder the connector pins to the circuit board, connect everything up to the computer, run the riff box manager and it should take care of the rest!

I would definitely search google for HTC HD7 Jtag/riff box instructions and look at some of the web pictures to get a visual as to how things need to be connected!

Good luck my friend, you should be able to bring your Hd7 back to life!

thank you xdrc45,

but what is spl ?

"how things need to be connected!", almost question are here!

i'll try to disassemble the phone and take pictures to get more help

Edit: i have a question, there is the "riff box" and there is the "RIFF Box JTAG Manager"

are the supported phone models related with the product "riff box" itself, or with the program installed on computer "RIFF Box JTAG Manager" ?

the riff i bought is the NOV 2011 version, if the supported phones are related with the box, how to know if my box supports HD7?

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Spl is like a safe mode that allows you to flash a rom to the device.

Your almost there, you have to open up your phone even further than that!

You can read more about spl here http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SPL

I would watch this video it shows connection setup and process for hd7

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=OMRyQpBr82M&v=OMRyQpBr82M&gl=US

I would suggest to start JTAG Manager and click “Check for Updates” button. You’ll be notified about new DLL, download it and restart the software.

under that part, the picture shows the place where i should put the pin out
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
The riff box manager is what supports the device, it tells the riff box itself what to do as far as programming and instillation to your device. Think of the riff box as a middle man between your computer and the hd7. The hd7 is a supported device for the 2011 riff box manager, so as long as everything is connected properly the riff box manager will control the riff box and transfer/install everything needed to bring your hd7 back to life!

Did you figure out what to do with the protective film, as long as it doesn't have imbedded wiring through it, you should be able to peal back that one corner to make the connection you need. It should have sticky edges so you can reattach it or put a spot of glue on the corner to hold it back in place.

So, ARDV, what You have done with Your phone?

Same problem with mine phone but i solved it in my friend service with soldering (without JTAG Adapter). All fine after that but i have a BIG problem now.

When switch on data connection (3G or E) and go to internet (no matter iE or Opera browser) my phone randomly freez and restarts (after 1 or 5 or 10 sec. or couple of minutes using internet). I think that bottom of a phone are warm after internet surfing (is that normal?).

This problem i dont have on a WiFi internet surfing, only on Data Connection (no matter 3G or E).

Any HELP please???

thx

[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
so i just got this rezzy. downloaded the n00b proof "HTC Rezound AIO toolkit v2.0..... followed al of teh steps to get teh bootloader unlocked, rooted and tried to install VENASAUR. stuck on the HTC screen when trying to boot. have tried to install MIUI v4 2.6.1 Vigor Port GSM/CDMA as well. am i missing an all important step? i also looked into the kernel stuff too........ i just want to use my phone........
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
You need to flash a kernel sounds like. Are you s-off?
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
did you flash the ICS RUU?
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
*** UNLOCKED ***

VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.11.0000

Oct 6,2011,15:43:22

thats what it says, i downloaded the s-off tool after i had this problem. i can get into fastboot and Hasoon's tool v2 works for caommands as far as reboot and what not. the s-off tool wont work because i need it to be able to boot. im thinking if i can just get a RUU and maybe get it to reboot into whatever the first white screen is called with the details from above, then it should flash and boot so i can start over....... the whole process here is similar to the one i used from when i had the HTC Inspire 4G. it was all included in one bundle tho.

and flashing a kernel is a nogo. tried that and its still looping on the HTC screen
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
also, nope i didnt flash a ruu yet. it was on 2.3.4 before i started.

im looking for a ruu right now
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
So...

all you have to do is fastboot flash a boot image.

Since you are S-On and trying to flash a rom ment for S-Off, you can run this rom, but you will need to pull the boot img from the rom and fastboot flash boot boot.img the boot.img file.

Plenty of threads on how to do this. Search button is your friend.
[HTC Rezound] in_retrospekt:
Just s-off now so you don't have to worry about fastboot boot.img files ever again
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
i cant get it to boot period to get the s-off to work....

so, say i have the miui rom and i unzip it, after i do and look into the folder, teh boot.img, its the first one? fo i need to rename it? also, i just put it in the root of the external then reboot bootloader? when i do that it says a bunch of looking for pm98 something or another...... wait a minute, i think i just answered my own question.... brb
[HTC Rezound] in_retrospekt:
s-off only requires the phone to be able to get into fastboot.

if you can get to the bootloader you're good.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Not true it needs root as well
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
so i downloaded stock rooted 3.13.605.7 and the boot img.

which one do i flash first? flash teh img in bootloader then flash the rom in recovery? or the other way around?
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
nvm. found it thru google. droid-guru.com had a thing saying img then rom. waiting on this stock rooted deal to finish booting and then ill charge the batteries( got two) and then restart the s-off and whatnot. thanks all
[HTC Rezound] bzmotoninja83:
got it all going thanks to a guy named "hyuh" on the IRC freenode support for teh s-off deal... now on to the miui or some other sense 4.0

thank all of you for answering any thing
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davil_79:
I have formatted the SD-card and erased the ROM. Now, I can´t go into recovery and therefore can not flash in any ROM.

I come into the FastBoot and Boot Loader, but not further!

Can I flash a recovery via adb?

Im on:

HBOOT-6.93.1002

S-OFF

Help wanted!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twisted_forever:
Bootloader? Isn't there a recovery option to select?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langers2k:
I'm pretty sure you can flash the recovery using fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery some-recovery.img

As android isn't booting I don't believe adb will work :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
formatting sd and erasing the rom should not wipe your recovery as far as i know.

power off your phone, then vol down + power takes you to bootloader. wait a few seconds, then you should be able to see 'recovery', use volume button to choose, then power to select.

if somehow you need to reflash your recovery, you can do this through fastboot (not adb) as you're already s-off

guide here, skip the adb bit.

personally i recommend 4ext recovery, the .img can be found on the thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davil_79:

Slight problem though... when i download wallpaper and put it as my home wallpaper it looks far too stretched inwards (1920x1800 and 1280x720 alike). I never had this problem with my s2 and i remember you used to be able to use wallpaper that moves while u flick thru homepages which helped stretching a lot. Can this be done on the s3 or at least remove the stretching since i really want custom wallpaper.

Touchwiz roms are a collection of apps and a theme added to stock. There are some minor mods such as hacked hotspot but nothing major.

CM/CM7/AOKP/Etc. are open source and allow for modifications beyond touchwiz.

MIUI is also not made for our phone and ported over. It is a ported stock rom from the Xiaomi phone.

All touchwiz roms are the same in the end.
