Hey, thanks for the info!

But I get an error from wPhoExplorer in step #4 saying - "No application is associated with the specified file for this operation"

A cursory Google search tells me that it could be due to the custom ROM being used http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=1099&t=374991&start=15

I've attached the screen-grabs of the error and my system info. Hope you can help me out. Thanks!

Is this ROM updatable?

Hi vt2912,

Thanks for your work on this ROM.

I'll be loading this ROM on my Rev.1.4 Samsung Focus soon & bring it for a testdrive.

Meanwhile, I need to know if this ROM is updatable?

I've tried DFT's Focus v.1.4 ROM but I was not able to update the ROM via SevenEighter.

I had success with updating the stock AT&T 7720 ROM to Tango 8862 using SevenEighter.

Please advise me before I proceed further.

Thanks!

How to fix this? I followed all the procedures in the factory flash guide
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaviLoki:
Oops.

First plug it in and actually see if it's capacity is now 8GB or if it's just a text bug.

If so, Factory Restore, and if that doesn't work, Flash the Image again :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I had this happen to me on the 7. And more then once.

It seems to happen when you flash each image separately instead of doing the -w update way.

Try that way if you didn't do it already. If you did try a factory reset recovery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuchar09:
Ok so basically I am looking at installing a nexus 7 into my trailblazer and I plan on going all out!

My current list consist of

-Joycon EX Steering Wheel Control PC Interface

Link

-FiiO E10 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier

Link

-A new amp and speakers to replace my factory bose

Amp

Speakers

Now where I'm running into my problem is how am I going to store my music.

I was originally going to use a usb drive with all my music on there and use scripts to mount the storage as internal memory, but with the OTG charging stuff the usb drive doesn't remount automatically when the car is turned on.

So I was looking into maybe a wifi HD but I'm not sure that my script mounting trick would work since I attempted that as using my phone as a wifi HD with no success.

Something like this

HD

or this

Seagate

My last idea was that I could just leave the tablet charging all the time so I don't have to mess with remounting stuff and use the steering wheel controller to turn the tablets screen on and off when the ignition was on or off, but I'm not too sure about leaving the tablet on the charger 24/7.

Any suggestions on what I could do for a storage device that I could still use Google music with by using my scripts?

Whats everyone else doing for external storage in their car installs?

Truly i'm a complete NOOB at rooting and installing custom roms. The HD7 has been a pain in the A$$ to root, let alone just downgrade the boot loader. If anyone could help at all it would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Hi Bobsteriffic and welcome to XDA!

I'd be more than happy to help you unlock your device and flash a custom rom.

First post your devices info. Go to - Settings - About - More, and post the devices Bootloader version and Firmware Revision Number.

More than likely if the device is up to date then it's bootloader version is 5.xxx and the easiest method to downgrade the bootloader is the goldcard method.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Thanks for the quick reply!

Heres the specs:

OS version:7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number: 2250.21.51202.531

Hardware revision number: 0002

Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U

Bootloader version: 5.12.2250.0(135916)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

Hopefully this helps :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Ok... You have a T-Mobile HD7 and up to date with 5.xxx bootloader.

The only methods you can use to downgrade 5.xxx are -

Goldcard method - Requires a Y cable, (either homemade or purchased online) a SD card reader, 1gb - 2gb SD card and you need to download a Pre-NoDo or NoDo rom specific for the device, the goldcard tool and the goldcard image.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837

Zune restore point method - Restore the device to a Pre - Mango version through Zune. Meaning that you updated the device from a Pre-Mango state to Mango using Zune and still have the PC that you used to do it on.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362194

Just follow Shadow's step by step tutorial on downgrading SPL, installing XSPL and flashing a custom rom. It has all the links for the above methods, and Pre-NoDo/NoDo roms and everything that you'll need.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295068

These are the steps -

1. Downgrade devices SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install XSPL)

2. Install XSPL = RSPL/HSPL (which is required to install a custom rom)

3. Flash a custom rom of your choice

If you have any problems or questions just let me know!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Okay so i've seen the Y-Cable method and i'm very reluctant to do it as i'm not very good with physical hacks such as that. And as far as the "Zune Backup" method goes, if I don't have a Restore.dat file, is there any way I could just download one from somewhere and use that?

And also, if you could check out this method real quick and give your opinion, it would be much appreciated: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Radios

You would install the radios and that would downgrade the bootloader.

Thanks for all the help!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Well to basically answer your questions...

Using a different devices restore files won't work. Each devices has its own set of keys and would give an error while trying to restore.

The radio rom would work on a device that's bootloader version is 4.xxx or lower but not on a 5.xxx bootloader.

As far as the goldcard method goes, it's actually really easy. You can even buy a Y cable from Amazon really cheap. The process for using the goldcard method is much simpler than it sounds and I can walk you through the whole process if you want.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Yea I looked into the goldcard method and it does seem fairly easy. Gonna check around the house to see if I already have a Y-Cable. If not then i'll buy one on amazon :)

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Do you mean how to connect everything to the Y cable or how to wire and make the Y cable?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Connect everything to the Y-Cable
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Ok, yeah that's easy..

One female USB end you use to connect the devices charging cable from the device to the Y cable.

The other female USB end you use to connect the SD card reader to the Y cable.

The male USB end you use to connect to a power source. Either the devices wall charger adapter or into a PC.

That's the basic idea, but depends on the Y cable setup that you have.

Yeah buddy... Those should work perfect!

The Y cable will be nice with the micro USB connector for the phone, so you don't have to use the charging cable because sometimes if the cables are too long in length they can cause a problem with transferring the data.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Exactly what I was thinking. So now that I have the cables ordered and on their way, do you think with this whole method that I would be able to flash the "Dynamics 2.0 WP7.8" rom?

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Absolutely...That's a great rom and I guarantee that you'll love the new 7.8 start screen with customizable tiles, it's awesome!

If you haven't already get the necessary downloads that you need -

1. Goldcard tool

2. Goldcard image

Both from here -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837

3. Pre-NoDo/Nodo rom - I would recommend this rom. I've found that with my T-Mobile HD7 that the radio included in this rom gives me a better signal and somewhat of a better battery life. (even over the most current and up to date 5.71 radio.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc8...9.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe

Download this rom and extract it (use a program like 7zip, not the Windows zip program) to a new folder (name it like T-Mobile 3.1 rom) on your desktop. Remove the Ruu_signed.nbh file from the rom and put it in a new folder (name it like SCHUIMG.nbh) on the desktop. Right click on the ruu_sighned.nbh file and click "rename", rename the ruu_signed.nbh file to SCHUIMG.nbh (has to be capitalized when renaming)

Put the SD card in the card reader and connect it to the PC, the SD card needs to be formatted to FAT32. Then put the SCHUIMG.nbh file on to the SD card. Click on and run the goldcard tool, click on the "Load GoldCard.img" and select the goldcard.img, then Press "Patch MMC" button.

The SD card will now be a goldcard and will be ready to be connected to the Y cable.

Once the whole downgrade process is done and you ready to flash the custom rom, you also need to connect the device to your PC while it's in bootloader mode. This will install the Qualcomm drivers and allow for the connection/communication from the device to the PC when installing the custom rom.... Otherwise you'll get a error connection 260.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Wow wonderful. Thank you so much! Like I said, everything is supposed to come Thursday, so i'll attempt to goldcard my SD card, then get back to you! :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Kinda a quick reply on this one, but i'm having a bit of trouble with "Goldcarding" my Micro SD card.

It's a: "PNY 4gb Class 4 Micro SD Card"

Everytime I try to Gold-Card it, I get the error message: "an error occurred object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I'm following the directions that are on the forum.

Any ideas?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Yeah...sometimes it's due to the PC. Do you have a different PC or laptop that you can try it on?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Possibly... I'll give my downstairs laptop's a try...
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Cool... That should take care of it, let me know how it goes!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Tried it on my downstairs old laptop and it worked! :) Thanks!

Btw, I think the reason why it didn't work on my laptop is because i'm running Windows 8. Maybe the gold card executable doesn't enjoy 8? :P

EDIT: Now that it's a gold card, should I leave the img. file and exe on it? Or remove them? Thanks
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
I think your right!

Yeah the only thing that should be on the SD card is the SCHUIMG.nbh file.

You can put the SCHUIMG.nbh file on the SD card and run the goldcard tool and select the goldcard image without them being on the SD card.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
SCHUIMG.nbh? When I go to the "SCHUIMG.nbh" link in the forum, it leads me to another thread, leading me to filefactory, where I download the latest one for TMOUS. But when I download the file, it's not a .nbh file. It's a .exe file.

Is that correct?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Yeah it should be an .exe file, its the whole rom file. You have to unzip the whole file with a program like 7zip and remove the ruu_signed.nbh file from it and then rename it to SCHUIMG.nbh and put that on the SD card and then do the goldcarding.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Woha. Glad you replied because I had no idea! Well, I now have the file extracted, renamed, and ready to be flashed! Now, when my Y-Cable and USB changer comes, all I should have to do is plug the micro sd end into the phone, one male end into my pc, and one into the USB changer which would then plug into the SD card right? It will then automatically update which will take roughly 30 mins, THEN I can flash my custom rom?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Just to make sure though, you did download a T-Mobile rom from file factory and it was a 3.xxx rom or lower right?

Other than that yes the connection part and that are good.

Once the goldcard method is done and the SPL is downgraded you will have to download and install XSPL (RSPL/HSPL) to to the device. This is a custom bootloader and allows you to install a custom rom

Once XSPL is installed the you can flash a custom rom

Download the updated revision # 3 of XSPL

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
And how exactly would I check if it was a .3xx or lower?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
The first part in the file is the rom version, the second part is the radio version.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/c09...9.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe

TMOUS_3.01.531.02 = 3.01 ROM version. The .531 = The Firmware revision number for a T-Mobile device.

Radio version 5.65.09xxxxxx

I think the rom above is the rom that you downloaded.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobsteriffic:
Then yes, I did download a .3xxx ROM version. The file I downloaded reads as follows, RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_3.01.531.02_Radio_5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Personally I'm a huge fan of Deepshining and the new 7.8 8858 RTM build is awesome!

I know it has a couple extra features added into the rom like, Nokia DLL's so you can install Nokia drive, City Lens and Creative studio, (download the Nokia apps from DevStore8) DevSore 8 (homebrew market with wallpapers, ringtones and more) WP Extended, a built in performance tweaker in the setting menu, with all kinds of cool stuff like disabling the vibration on the 3 hardware keys too playing the fm radio without headphones.

It has alot more accent and theme colors.

I haven't noticed any lag in screen transitions or when opening apps either.

I haven't tried Dynamics v2.0, 7.8 8858 RTM, so i can't say too much about it other than I know it's a great rom and there a great team!
