Hi all,
Here is the problem:
I have tried all followings to root my device to install custom roms android martket, because I DONT HAVE ANDROID MARKET INSTALLED on my phone on original rom cause of the distributors idiot policy:
Goldcard Method (with different type 6 SD cards i.e.Kingston 2GB,San 2GB etc.)
Different 5 type rooting tutorials(xdaforum also included)
But I still cannot manage being a root
I'm a windows guy,so I tried these methods with my linux geek (they are really good on it) friends. Still nothing.
So I called HTC Turkey and Europe to unlock my phone because I didnt bought it with any contracts. They said that in April an update will come, so I already know that from the RSS's.
Any help is welcome. I really loved this phone but cannot use as much as I want to.
Here is my phones specs:
HTC Hero
Firmware:1.5
Baseband Version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel: 2.6.27-430d1aea htc-kernel and18-2#983

Hello all.
I have a Ouku Horizon (p801w) bought through Lichtinthebox.com
I am very happy but I would like a other version of Android.
I'm no expert on this, so I ask your help.
Now I have:
Android 2.2.2
Baseband version iris_p800w_V1.20
Kernel 2.6.35.7 root @ scm-Perf # 3
Build number FRG83g
software version iris_p801w_V1.21
Hardware version IRIS_MP
I would like Gingerbread, but a newer version of Froyo is also good.
would you like to give to a HOW_TO?
hi
did you were able to rooted it?
I rooted mine but when I tried to backup the rom so I can flash a new one
it boot loops now I'm stuck...
boot ouku horizon : universal Androot still doesn't work
i tried androot on my ouku and it doesn't work. you say you managed to root it?
how did you do?
i'm on linux mint and my phone in on froyo.
I obviously tried to boot with the latest version of superoneclick. it opens properly etc BUT it keeps saying "waiting for device"
regards
How to get Root to flash this phone as described in the Russian forum forum.china-iphone.ru in this topic viewtopic.php?f=37&t=14382
careful though
i sure don't understand russian. according google translation, this just tells you how to use superoneclick on your ouku.
with me it didn't work so far.
i'm trying again and i'll come back with more info if it works. if there is no more message after that one, just make a educated guess.

Anyone of you guys is on 3 Australia?
I am tempted not to upgrade so I don't get into trouble rooting.
I wanted to wait to make sure there is root available before upgrading it.
here is a nice (though elaborate) guide to downgrading your rom so you can root it: theunlockr.com/2011/10/25/how-to-downgrade-the-g2-desire-z-desire-hd-and-mytouch-4g-back-to-froyo/
it's not the easiest guide, but it works from my experience.
still nothing happens
tried many tools, seems new HTC official 2.3.5 with sense 3.0 is patched against all available rooting methods, should wait a bit longer for a new tool to root
although there are some "HTC stock 2.3.5" that are rooted, but it requires removing the original os and replacing this one, such as:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235&page=12
if any one finds how this os was rooted plz help us, so we could root our existing os instead of replacing it
Hi all. New to the forum and brand new at rooting android phones. After a lot of reading and searching and trying I managed too achieve root last night on my Desire hd running 2.3.5 using the Ace Advanced Hack Tool. It took a few attempts for the phone to accept the downgrade. I had to run the hack tool several times to achieve this. In the end as the effin manual says I had to turn off all anti virus and close non essential programs. I also removed any anti virus apps from my phone. I don't know if it was coincidence or not but I was about to give up and had unplugged the USB cable and was in the bootloader menu about to reboot when all of a sudden it read the zip file on the SD card and downgraded the ROM. After that ran the Hack tool again and Now rooted, S off and Custom ROM (CM7) installed. One other quick thing, after installing CM7 on boot up it went into a boot loop. After searching found out you have to clear/reset factory settings and clear cache in custom recovery before flashing a new ROM. Hope this helps.
edit - forgot to mention I had the bootloader unlocked from HTCdev site but re locked it just before the downgrade started working.
Hi ALL,
Have you tried The Advanced Ace Hack Kit by attn1?

People it really works flawlessly...; just re-lock your bootloader if unlocked from HTCdev.com and use an empty, clean sd card... andof course read all the manual. Then you can let show begin They did such a BIG AND PERFECT work! i'm Amazed and impressed! thank's a lot people who made this possible.

use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit for rooting your phone
RE: Rooting HTC Desire
Personally, I find SuperOneClick to work very well!
people
this STILL is not working..i am trying to use the AAHK kit
i have read the manual
i am now using a computer that has nothing but winXPpro and the htc drivers installed that came from the AAHK, no anti virus, no anti-malware, no apple sh*t, NOTHING ELSE
all i can think of is that my phone IS running one of the build versions that requires a downgrade as mentioned in the manual (details listed in my original post)
or
i DO have a HTC Dev Bootloader and its not locked as mentioned in the manual
i know nothing about locking or unlocking bootloaders, but Ive been to HTCDev, registered, logged in and tried to follow that process as follows:
i select my phone HTC DESIRE HD* (there is an asterix because "* Indicates HBOOT update required.")
continue through disclaimer and agree etc
download PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe
when i run PD9810000_Ace_Sense30_S_hboot_2.00.0029.exe i get error saying i need to upgrade to 3.13.707.3 (On your phone, go to Menu>Settings>About phone> Software updates> CCheck now.
After you have updated,please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock
Your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience)
i check for updates and there are no updates available for your phone
this is a staggeringly difficult and im really quite f*cked off i really cant see what im not doing, or, where to go from here
other people in asia seem to be having the issue with this phone, i found this website which google translated and it contains the EXACT steps i have taken please have a look
but of course, no i cant paste url's in here because i havent had 10 posts...honestly wtf
if you care to email me ill send you the link

Hello,
I have a HTC 7 Pro that I bought on the internet. It is sim-unlock original but has a layer swiscom because I wanted a keyboard with qwertz (I'm used to that because I lived in Holland and lontemps was this type of keyboard). The so currently on:
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Number of micro program: 2250.21.51101.166
Version of the software radio: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Version of the loader startup: 5.11.2250.0
In short I would like to remove this rom so swiscom and put an official HTC. And by the same ocasion make interop unlock to unlock my tel.
So I have an account ChevronWP7 official because I had bought for $ 9 ChevronWP7 the official. I can install apps xap but not all ... but somtimes I get the error 0x81030120.
So my goal is not to have this message and then install what I want it. And at the same time spend a HTC official rom.
I do not really understand how. Following some tutorial as I have a spl 5.x I can not and I must make that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152
Then after I have to change the official rom for htc ... but I do not understand all these steps.
If someone could explain to me all that'll fix things before I do something stupid.
Besides what's the difference between:
Chevron-unlock
unlock-interop
Full-unlock
PLEASE help me!
PS: I was very well when I wedged my windows mobile flash etc on windows phone but the only thing I did was change the micro sd card in a 32 gb.
I recently purchased a new HTC 7 Pro T7576 and am looking to unlock it to install the root tools.
I have spent several days trying to read up about unlocking prior to posting in this thread, but have not had much luck.
Based on my research, I understand that there exist several different type of unlocks. For the work I'd like to do with this device, I require that root tools are installed and understand that the INTEROP unlock would suffice for this as the tools are not native tools.
I have followed most of the instruction online with out much luck for setting up the device yet. The details of the device are:
Name: HTC 7 Pro T7576
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware rev number: 2250.21.51202.111
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Boot loader version: 2.2.5.0
The steps I've taken thus far are to take a backup of the device using zune, download the HTC_Interop_Unlock.xap and tried to install it using XAPDeployX-v0.9.
The error message I get back is:
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Failed to connect to device as it is developer locked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
Is there any luck for this device?
Thanks!
Based on some additional reading... I would require to flash the boot loader and put a custom rom.
Can anyone confirm?
After several days of research, it appears that the Interop method does not work any more.
Additionally, can someone provide some direction? I'm looking to flash but the instructions aren't clear and I don't want to brick my device.
Thanks.
Any tips from anyone? I'm trying not to avoid bricking my device.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
My journey for unlocking this device is still moving forward.
From additional reading, it looks like my SPL is 5.2.2.5.0 which means I must downgrade it...
The only way I see so far is with a gold card.
Given I have an OTG cable? Can I use this cable? to somehow download the bootloader?
Hi,
use this Method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456200
This will work on my boot loader? Even with an SPL with 5.1.2.2250.0?
To close the loop, I used a goldcard image with the RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar.zip to create the GOLDIMG.nbh to downgrade the firmware.
Was a bit finicky, but eventually it took the update.
Next to install a custom rom...
Update: Trying to install RSPL and HSPL, but no luck
Does the DFT tool work on these devices? I've tried to go through the 126 page DFT thread (below) but no really confirmation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
If anyone can help this would be great!
Moving right along... Got the HSPL flashed. Had to use another PC.
The original PC I used was a VMWARE workstation with Windows XP, which did not detect the device.
Used a physical Win7 Laptop, everything worked just fine.
Now onto a custom firmware....
Hmm, tried to flash Dynamics v2.0, but it needs a special radio version.
I got the radio, but not sure how to flash it, can someone help explain how to do this with RUU?
Thanks.
Hi dustbyter
are you still interested in this topic? I just did the same on my HTC 7 Pro T7576

I love everything but the OS of this phone.
I am a total newbie at mobile OS but have 10 years experience with Slackware linux.
Please help me out with detailed instructions to replace Windows Phone with Android on HTC 7 Pro.
Thank you!

I second this. Windows Phone 7 is a dead-end street. Therefore, nobody even cooks ROMs for these phones any more (the newest ones I could find are from 2013).
That's pretty bad since otherwise, the HTC 7 Pro is a good phone - I love its keyboard as my fingers do not seem to be compatible to touch screens
It was possible to port Android to legacy devices like the HTC HD2. Wouldn't it be possible to do that for the HTC 7 Pro, too? That would be, I think, the greatest thing since sliced bread
Kind regards,
