Here new ROM for Spark with NoDo update
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cae00d4/n/RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.00_Spark_5.54.09_RELEASE.exe
Enjoy!
Build 7355-89

when i enter bootloader mode (tri-color screen) the update comes to the point where i can update.
But I'm afraid to brick the phone.
Has anyone tried to flash this on their trophy?

thx football, will test this
edit1:
Worked fine on m unbranded eur trophy
Edit2:
MIRROR
MIRROR2
edit3:
I can confirm its the NODO with copy and paste
os version: 7.0.7389.0
radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)

Updating my Spark now by GoldCard method (Vodafone NL)...
...updated fine. Installing Apps now.

Excuse my ignorance, but will unbranding what was originally a Vodafone handset affect my ability to get further updates incrementally (like 7008) without having to reflash an entire ROM?
Thanks,
Niall

Shouldn't do.

Hi,
can you tell me, if chevron is running?
What about other apps?
Andy

Worked fine for me : French Vodafone with goldcard trick!

Can you please tell if the flash is working with Chevron to unlock? And the second thing, will be to apply update from Microsoft to this ROM or will need to re-flash? Thank you.

It worked fine for me.
First flash with WP7.
Just booted to bootloader. Hold vol down, when turned off and press on button once.
Then just plug in the usb and run this file. No prob. Just like the WM6 days.
Cant unlock with chevron, not sure if its the Nodo or Chevron, in my case though. I have unlocked before, and done all the tricks on a fresh install. No luck, so i guess its not unlockable for now. Some guy is working on a wifi transfer, which forces the phone to think its from marketplace and therefore okay. Been told release is 25 March, so we can just wait.

chevron DO NOT work on NoDo updated roms...

Thanks.
I managed to flash this rom via goldcard method.
It does run faster. And copy/paste is a beast.
but, is it just me or the signal quality drops after flashing this rom?

havent had any problems with the signal. Phone works great.

Yeah it works great, but impossible to unlock!

I try to restore this rom ... I did:
turn of phone
hold down button and press ON once
I'm in 3 color mode
Plug in USB, USB is recognized on phone
run the .EXE file
But the RUU update says that my phone is not recognized ... It get 260: Connection Error
The usb is working on Zune, so that is no problem
Suggestions ?

Will this work on the US Verizon Trophy?

i dont think so. There is missing tag (for Verizon) in the name of file (RUU).

[Q] Help needed to get Mango. Reward inside :-)

So, I'm the (un)lucky owner of a Vodafone branded HTC Trophy. I installed the latest HTC update which landed me on SPL version 1.22.2250.
I figured I want to install this version of Mango since I'll be able to to the rest of the updates trough Zune.
I don't know if I'll be needing to unbrand this device or not, I only know that if I run the proper RUU tool against my RGB screen (boot loader?!) it comes out with error 266 and leaves my phone hanging. I then need to reboot my device by pulling out the battery.
I was fairly advanced with Android's ROM way, and by means are not a stupid person. I googled quite a lot and read through most topics in this sub forum but it doesn't make sense yet.
What I'll be needing: A foolproof way to get to the latest Mango version. I don't care whats in between and are willing to take moderate risk such as flashing HSPL. There are so many ways and terms here I simply don't have the time to figure it all out. Time is money and since I'll hopefully be sparing out a few hours with this way I offer the lucky winner of writing me a fool proof step of plans $10 on paypal.
Also, bare with me. English isn't my native language.

You can contact me in dutch and i might be able to help you out.
Though i have samsung device.
What version are you running? Did you try to upgrade to Mango beta? are you dev-unlocked?
If you are on NoDo and unlocked, make sure you install provxml deployer and run it before upgrading to mango.
Try installing the zune beta and all the files, than do the upgrade, now run the htc connection setup (this will execute some files which will fully unlock your device). After you did this, make sure to run provxmldeployer again, this will place the same files back, you will need these after the second update to mango b2.

This is what I did to get the same ROM.
I had the 1.22.2250 SPL as well, but then I thought to myself that I don't need useless vodafone apps on my phone, I just need OEM apps because they are more useful than a shortcut to vodafone 360.
So, here's what I did:
1. Go here and download the appropriate ROM for your Trophy. You must get 7004/7008 version. You should download the appropriate ROM that matches the characteristic value of your phone. The ROMs in this thread are all branded, but flashing this ROM will downgrade your OS version and SPL version to 1.09 or 1.10 so you can HSPL later.
After the ROM has been downloaded, extract the zip file somewhere easy to find (eg. desktop).
[Step 2 will erase everything on your phone]
2. Connect the phone by holding down volume down key and connect it via USB. Wait until appropriate drivers are installed. Flash the ROM you downloaded from step 1. This should take less than 10 minutes. After flashing, Trophy will restart and boot to normal. Turn it off. Your phone is still branded in this step.
3. After flashing, download DFT's RSPL/HSPL here and be sure to get the second version. Extract the files somewhere easy to find (eg. desktop). This tool will let you install customized ROMs/unbranded ROMs on your device. Therefore if you replace your SPL with HSPL, you will be able to install the unbranded Mango ROM.
4. Hold down volume down key on the Trophy, and connect it via USB. Trophy will go straight to bootloader state, and run the DFT_RSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH exe file . Select the nearest version of SPL shown on your Trophy, and click install. If Trophy reboots, flash was successful, if not, try again until you get RSPL.
5. After RSPL, do step 4 again, but this time, run DFT_HSPL_WP7FG2_LAUNCH and install HSPL, not OSPL. After HSPL, Trophy will reboot. If Trophy successfully boots to Windows Phone, then you have done it right.
7. Go here and download your ROM for Trophy which is RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE.exe. This is the unbranded ROM which will remove carrier (vodafone) apps.
8. Turn off Trophy and connect it by holding down volume down key and connect via USB so it goes straight to bootloader state, unzip the ROM downloaded from step 7 using winrar or winzip.
9. Open the extracted folder and delete SPL_signed.nbh as this will overwrite your current SPL and will brick your Trophy.
10. Run the rom update utility and happy flashing! Trophy should restart after flashing.
So there you have it. After setting up your Live account, you must go to the marketplace and download HTC Connection Setup and run it. This will configure your carrier settings (3G/HSDPA, MMS) to your phone since this Mango ROM is unbranded and does not carry and customization by your carrier (vodafone).

Cool. Now trying the method from downloaderintruder
Edit: Seems to be working. Flashing final Mango ROM now, will report back when running.
Edit2: Done!

Fantastic - thank you.
I've been trying to do this for a week but to no success

Hi, I still get a ERROR 266 when flashing with the RUU_Spark_Vodafone_ELL_1.10.168.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar ROM? Also get the same if I try to flash the RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE ROM... I've been struggeling with this the past 5 days and would really appreciate any assistance.
I have the following Trophy:

Resolved this by changing from a USB 3 port to a USB 2 port? Weird but it worked...

Do i need Y usb cable to do this? Because i`ve tried this with standard usb cable from htc and my Trophy stucked in "USB host mode" screen.
I don`t have that Y cable, and i was looking for solution to debrand phone without Y, and i`ve found this thread, wheres no word about Y cable but now i don`t know
--------------------------------------------------
Ive found solution:
Instead of pressing volume button and connecting it to usb, i`ve holded volume rocker down, and hit the on/off button, when tricolor screen appeared i`ve released volume button and THEN connected my phone to my PC via USB

ijust do this. All ok!!

Its the trophy unbranded totally??

If you want to go back, you will need to get the 7004/7008 version of the ROM with 401 CV. Check out ansars ROM in the Trophy forum and download that. Go to the bootloader state, and flash it straight to your phone, this will downgrade from 7720 to 7004/7008 (unbranded).
To go back to branded, first you must HSPL your device after downgrading, then download the original ROM for your trophy and flash it. You don't have to delete spl_signed file, you only had to delete this in the mango rom because it will brick the device since the spl version from mango had a huge leap from spl1 to spl4.
Be aware though, some Trophy users who flashed ansars ROMs didn't get past 7008 to get the PreNodo/Nodo update, so you can't use your backup at this time. I'm still looking for a solution on this, but since I don't really like branded phones I'm all good with my Trophy.

Updates will still go through via Zune.
For the problem regarding how to go back to your backup, here's a theory, IF there will be mango ROMs for our trophies like there's Nodo, we can install that ROM and restore our backup via Zune. That is, IF there will be Mango roms for our trophies with matching CV's.

Now I have the error code c101b001 in the marketplace.
Do you know why?

[Q] SPL not listed within RSPL

On my HTC7, my SPL version is v1.24 which isnt listed within the RSPL choice menu. Not just wanting to gamble and try v1.23 or v1.25 & end up bricking my phone, what advice would you give me. My Goal is to have RTM mango with Chevron
My current build is>
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart PD67100
OS version: 7.0.7004.0
Firmware: 2250.09.12435.061
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.24.2250.35(111169)40
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
I have made a complete backup of my phone already & its currently Chevron unlocked & carrier unlocked
Sorry, Noob

rspl is needed to flash custom roms which u do not need when goin to rtm mango...
u need to make sure u prevent relock then update through zune to latest update then follow post #2 here .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501

To prevent relock i assume that u mean edit the registry adding the two new value's.
Hopefully your answer is yes, i have i have done this already

yes that is one way of doing it... if after syncing with zune u r still able to sideload apps that means u have prevented relock.

Tried and tested the relock by syncing with Zune, and all still works.
So i should now connect the phone to zune 4.7 & do the "February" update then follow tutorial in post 2 here>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501

yes follow instructions and read comments should u come across any problems and if all goes well u will be on rtm mango unlocked good luck !

Something went rong Got all the way to 7403 & after updating to 7712 (section8) chevron lock was enabled.
Can go back to my original backup file i made b4 any update were applied and start again using "Windows Phone Support Tool" ?

sorry to hear that ... u should be able to restore through zune back to nodo it will still be unclocked and start again with going to 7403...

I rolled back to pre 7392 & updated through Zune to bring back up to 7392.
Following the tut on Post2 section7, i installed "Unlock_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap" and moved "copy CustClear.provxml" to the correct place but Zune tells me my phone is currently up to date so im unable to move forward and update to Beta 7403
Any ideas?
Quote>
b. Start XBMOD.Files.Deployer (Installed in #5) on your device, it will install a file called CustClear.provxml. Remember to uninstall XBMOD.Files.Deployer after its done.
c. Run TouchXplorer and copy CustClear.provxml from My Documents\My Ringtones\ to \Windows, then exit Touchxplorer.

6. Open the "NoDoToRC" folder and run the file "ISV_Provisioning_Live.exe" with admin rights (right click on the file..)

Thanks for all your help but "ISV_Provisioning_Live" i cant get to work correctly. I have tried it on two separate computers running win7. (One 64bit & the 32bit)
Made sure that i had Installed "Setup-UpdateWP"
The "Provisioning_Live" app will close Zune but then hangs. Occasionally a message will appear within the "ISV_Provisioning_Live" app telling me i have 55 seconds to unlock my phone.
My phone's lock isnt on, & nor the phone or application are showing anykind of activity.
I have placed the app in the root also & within its own folder, with the same results. The log also has no information. I have tried Zune 4.7 & 4.8, tried compatibility, Admin and non Admin mode also.
Luck just isnt on my side with this
I had even restored the phone right back to the original o/s that the phone was shipped with.

try uinstalling then reinstalling the windows phone update tool

Spent a few more hours on it today & im almost there
Adding the the 2 new registry value's to prevent Chevron relock will only work up to build 7392. After updating to build 7712 Chevron unlock is lost.
Im going to have to find a different way of preventing Chevron relock before i can retry.
My full backup build is 7004, but i also have now a second backup made by "ISV Provisioning Live" which is 7392.
I can restore either of my backup's on my phone but i dont know which to choose as my starting point, and how to stop Chevron from relocking

im confused lol . are u not following the steps for 7004 to 7712 while keeping unlock ?

bigtime1, Thankyou so much for your patience, finally completed it tonight and now running a chevron unlocked 7720
Had alot of hurdles but finally got there in the end & it was well worth it.. Ohh Happy days
Thanks again bigtime1, i couldnt of done it without your help

you are welcome glad to see u got it done.

interop unlock hd7 running mango

Do you have it developer unlocked first?

HTC Have 2 OEM Update after Mango
if you updated your Phone with Second OEM Update, you can not Interop Unlock your phone

yes i have a dev account from app hub.

how do i find out if im running second oem? do you have the build number handy? the os version i have is 7.10.7720.68

It's not the OS build number, people. HTC controls the firmware number, not the OS number (that's Microsoft code). 7720.68 just means the RTM release of Mango. I swear, I write this so often...
If the third digit grouping of your firmware starts with 4 - that is, if your firmware version matches *.*.4XXXX.* - or lower, you can use the HTC Interop Unlock XAP. It *might* even be possible with *.*.50XXX.*, but I don't think so, and it certainly isn't possible with *.*.51XXX.* or newer.

well that helps a lot, ya my firmware shows 51004. so are there any workarounds as of yet?

The only work-around I know of is to downgrade. You can roll back a Zune restore point from before the firmware update(s) was installed, interop-unlock, and then reinstall the updates if you want (I've elected to semi-permanently keep my phone a few versions outdated on firmware). You could also flash a stock ROM that includes an older firmware. Be aware, however, that either option will lose some data - everything newer than the backup if you restore, everything on the phone if you flash a stock ROM.

Hey thanks for the information, I was wondering if there were any guides you can point me to on how to flash from a stock ROM. I have an HTC HD7.
Thanks again for your help. i know sometimes its tiring explaining the same thing over and over, but it is much appreciated.

Go to the HD7 ("Schubert") portion of the XDA-Devs wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki). I'm pretty sure you can find the download links for stock ROMs there. You could also try the HD7-specific forum section. You'll download a tool called a RUU (ROM Update Utility) that will have some image files (extensions like .NBH and .NB) along with it. You put the phone in bootloader mode (four bars of different color - you have to boot the phone while holding the Volume Down button). It should have yellow text, and at the bottom should say "Serial". Connect the phone to USB. Your PC will need to install a driver (normally this will happen automatically, if not, use Device Manager to tell the computer to search Windows Update for the driver). Once the driver is installed, the "Serial" will be replaced by "USB". You can now run the RUU program.
I *strongly* recommend creating a backup first! The RUU will wipe all data on the phone, and if the flash fails for whatever reason, you'll be unable to boot the phone again.

Ok Thanks, That was helpful. i read a few guides and I think Im ready to try. i just wanted to ask a quick question before diving in. Hope you dont mind. Some threads make refrences to certain Bootloaders being unable to go through the downgrade process (by flashing a Stock Rom). Is this correct? My bootloader version is:
5.10.2250.0(132968)
If it doesnt matter than are there any other things that would prevent me from doing this process?
And one more question and I promise to leave you alone lol. I plan on backing up my phone before beginning, but if the flash fails for whatever reason and the phone is unable to boot again as you warned, will I still be able to connect it to Zune and restore my backup? Thanks again. Hopefullyone day I can give more to the community once I get used to it.

Booting the phone while holding the Camera button will put it in backup/restore mode. If you connect the phone to the PC while it is in this mode, and the Zune software is running, it should automaticlaly try to restore.
Your bootloader (SPL) version is too high to install HSPL (needed for custom ROMs), and it's high enough that it won't automatically downgrade just by installing a stock ROM. However, you should be able to install the other parts of a stock ROM (in particular, the firmware) just fine.
If needed, there are a couple ways to downgrade the SPL; search the dev&hacking sub-forum for info. I would generally recommend GoldCard, but that will require a little bit of equipment. Apparently, "SLSPL" flashing will allow you to downgrade the SPL safely as well, though I haven't tried it. These are mostly for preparing to install a custom ROM, though - stock ROMs should be installable on any SPL version.

it not work with my trophy verizon

[Q] Please help??

Hey, I have a HTC surround running windows 7.5 the os version is 7.10.7720.68
And I recently have tried to developer unlock my phone using chevronwp7.
But everytime I press unlock, it says I'm having problems connecting to your device, make sure it is pin unlocked and Zune is running; which it is. Can someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction? Thank you guys so much

Zune must be closed and your HTC should not be on the lock screen

Wrong thread!

I thought Zune must be OPEN. Anyways, I tried it without and it didn't work. Is my phone os too new? What else can I do? Thanks so much for your reply too

Have you installed Windows Phone SDK?
Have you installed Windows Phone Support Tool?
Have you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4?
If yes read here ChevronWP7 Labs FAQ or contact support Chevron for solve your problem

Okay I'm still very new to windows phone 7, as I stated, I have wp7.5, os:7.10.7720.68.I have boot loader: 4.3.2250.0(128976). can someone please tell me how I would go about flashing a stock ruu? Do I have to mess with rspl/hspl yet? Please can someone help? I'm sorry for taking your time as well. Thank you much.
And also, sorry for being such a dreaded noob, but what application should I install for the bootloader mode when connect my surround in? Im on windows xp. Thanks again so much, I don't know what I would do without you guys.

Okayyyyy... a few things.
First. it looks like you're trying to use the original ChevronWP7 unlock. That tool is dead, and has been for over a year (it only worked on pre-NoDo ROMs). This is well documented. I'm not sure why people keep trying it... you'd think they'd read up a little before trying to use a hack on their phone.
Second. Why do you want to flash a stock ROM? (RUU = ROM Update Utility) In any case, the procedure is simple: turn the phone off, hold the Volume Down button, press Power to start the phone again. It'll boot to a screen with bands of color and yellow text. Next, connect it to the PC. You'll need the relevant drivers; Vista and up will install them automatically but for some reason you're still running an 11-year-old OS on your PC so you might need to install them manually (I think they are included with the Windows Mobile Device Center download from Microsoft). The phone should say USB at the bottom when it's connected; at that point just run the RUU program.
Thrid. RSPL / HSPL are replacement bootloaders for WP7. They allow installing custom ROMs. If you want to do that, you'll need to first downgrade your current bootloader; SPL 4.3 is too high for using RSPL. Since you're not on SPL 5.X yet, I think you can downgrade just by installing an older stock ROM or radio update. Otherwise, there are a number of guides for how to downgrade the SPL.

That's the reason I need to downgrade lol thanks

By chance, do you know the new way to unlock or do I have to flash a custom rom? Thanks

You are on a developer-locked HTC phone? The first option is to try getting dev-unlocked, for example by getting an AppHub account or a friend who has one. They're free for students (go through Dreamspark). The second option is to use a custom ROM. The third option is to wait until a new hack is found.
Once you're dev-unlocked, you can use the Interop-Unlock app from Heathcliff74 (the HTC one, specifically) to allow unlimited sideloading. Then, you can install WP7 Root Tools 0.9 to get nearly full access to the device.

Thanks so much. Will report back with results.

So sorry, but I did all the research I could and couldn't find an updated method of going through dreamspark. I registered and man I hate myself for this, but can anyone help me please?
EDIT: I am enjoying interop unlock on intrinsic ROM and I love it!!! Thank you all so much for your help! My next and hopefully last question is, is it okay to update my radio while I have hspl? Or do I have to ospl first thanks!
