Currently I'm having HTC HD7 with Windows 7.5 (7.10.8107.79) Chevron unlocked (9$) ..
Now i need my device to be interop unlocked. I know there is no other way than reverting back method (Healthcliff)..
So, I'm planning to flash to custom roms like DFT
Now Consider that i've flashed custom rom, (not flashed actually now, just consider! )
My questions are ,
1.How can i revert back to official rom , if i need to claim warranty?
2.Will i be able to update the device through Zune (after flashing custom rom)?
3.How do i connect my device to computer, does zune recognize it ?
1: Flash a stock ROM. There are many of them available for the HD7. This should also restore the OSPL.
2: Some ROMs are updatable directly. Others can receive CAB files but you need to send custom CABs. Others can't be upgraded. Read the details on the ROM you flash; there is a considerable variety.
3: Yes, Zune will recognize and sync with a custom ROM (assuming said ROM isn't completely and horribly broken).

So what exactly are the risks of flashing? And what are the benefits besides debranding to get NoDo update? (coz that seems to be the only reason lately)
Is there a way to return to original if everything screws up??
(I mean if i flash to another rom, would i still be able to use the back up created by zune previously?)
If i get back to original, surely i would still be able to use my warranty service?
How do you extract your own rom for back up??
I have an unbranded HTC Mozart 7, running NoDo bought in ASIA
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.12902.707
Thanks
The main risk of flashing is that, if it goes very wrong, you end up with a bricked device. Besides that, it almost always voids any warranty you may have. Right now the only benefits are (possibly) a better radio ROM for your locale and updated internal tools/drivers from the manufacturer.
If you're flashing an official Microsoft update via Zune, then Zune backups can be used. If you're flashing a full ROM via some manufacturer tool, then Zune backups are useless if something goes wrong.
Assuming you can find the original ROM that was installed on your device and flash it back on, then I suppose warranty people wouldn't know that it was ever flashed. No guarantee though.
Is there anyway to revert Mozart to pre nodo , straight from Bootloader 5.01
I tried flashing , it shows me Error 226 , Is there anyway out there , Thanks
Even with a v5 SPL, you should be able to flash an official ROM. Make sure it's for exactly your phone though, not for a different hardware revision or slightly different model. The other option is to use a Zune restore point (created when you install an update), if you kept your old restore points. By default they're overwritten with each successive install.
Hi,
Iam new here and not allowed to post in the right forum, so I`ll give it a try here. Hope you dont mind.
I recently flashed my Samsung Omnia 7 with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102 using the new DFT MAGLDR for Samsung Windows Phone devices & the DFT flash tool. Before I flashed the ROM I didn't notice the I was actually still on Mango 7740 (no Updates available for my device) and the ROM I flashed is actually 8107.
Here is the thing: Zune refuses now to restore my backup data I made with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346030, because the version of the new ROM is higher than the original.
Now the reason i primarily flashed and unlocked ROM is because I wanted to extract the SMS from my device that have a high value to me and I wanted to store them properly. Now my SMS are gone.
I dont now, if this works, but I thought of this:
Can somebody dump me or send me a dumped 7740 ROM for the (preferably unlocked) Omnia 7, so I can restore my backup and get to my SMS again?
Or does anybody have another idea how I could restore my SMS from the Zune backup?
Your help would be highly appreciated. Thx for taking your time to read this.
I hope somebody can help...
I took the stock roms for Verizon (NoDO v1, Mango v1 only so far) and simply recooked them to work when HSPL is installed. This was to provide an easier way to flash back to stock and rom ##DIAG and *228 for the time being while mwang works out the kinks in DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy. This will also help since you won't need to flash OSPL to flash a stock rom!
THESE ROMS WILL NOT RETURN YOUR SPARK_W TO TRUE STOCK, YOU MUST USE STOCK ROMS IN FOOTBALLS THREAD FOR THAT!
Also refer to my HSPL thread for all details on returning your phone to true stock!
Read this for information on why YOU should avoid flashing official Verizon 8107 rom!
I stripped out the following from these roms:
SPL (if it were to flash with HSPL installed, you wouldn't like it one bit!)
RADIO (its easier to simply flash the radio you want from my radio thread).
Spanish language support (you only need the phone for programming and diag anyway, does this really matter?).
I will not modify these roms unless someone REALLLY wants Spanish support put back in. I will not add non-stock languages into the roms.
There are NO modifications to these roms other then what has been stated above. Only use these for diagnostic reasons!
Code:
NoDo v1 rom -

Mango v1 rom ([B]YOU MUST DOWNLOAD BOTH FILES TO EXTRACT SUCCESSFULLY![/B]) -

The split Mango rom requires no special software to combine, simply use WinRAR to extract, and the parts will be joined automagically.
Thanks again TheXev!
I will also be adding the Mango v3 rom very soon(I don't see the point to the Mango v2 rom since there is hardly any changes between that at Mango v1). This rom uses the 8107 sys, and has updated drivers that may address SMS texting issues in CDMA mode with Unicode characters(there are some strange new registry settings relating to SMS that have appeared that I will document about here).
The biggest reason I will add this rom is because if you flash OSPL using DFT's tool (for stock rom return), and then flash official Mango v3, EVERY SINGLE TIME in my testing it half bricked my bootloader, even after flashing different roms with non 2.04 SPL's!? Only time it wouldn't half brick my bootloader was after using GoldCard method to fix my phone. I'll need to point this out to Cotulla...
In short, if you don't want to halfbrick your bootloader for now, DO NOT install official Verizon update to 8107 via Zune without HSPL [meaning, if you had HSPL installed and then reinstalled OSPL (I need to test this if the update is even out on Zune), and DO NOT FLASH OFFICIAL 8107 rom named RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_0215_NV58008_RELEASE. This rom is in football's rom thread and it is the official 8107 rom that I recently extracted a radio from in my radio thread.
Also because of this new official rom, you might expect me to write my own guide to GoldCard (the entire method, reasons for doing it, and all nhb model names, and "WHAT IS A GOLDCARD?!" lol). This guide might not end up on XDA, as I might write it on my own blog because of the sheer size and formatting I'd want to do.
If you don't want to wait to try the 8107 official rom, then simply update either of the roms I previously posted on Zune. If you have HSPL installed, it will prevent a new SPL from being flashed.
I don't know about the SMS fix yet, but it would appear that Spark_W/Verizon support for CMAS support was added. I didn't know anything about it, but its a neat read.
How would I get started cooking my Own ROM? Tango preferably? Can I modify one of Ansar's ROMs? Thanks!
I found this:Manual Kitchen am I going the right direction?

I recommend OSBuilder.. beyond recommending a kitchen.. I hope you have some high level Windows OS knowledge outside of Windows Phone before getting started... if not, I can tell you this isn't PPCKitchen... it isn't easy enough for anyone to use.
Hello,
i just unlocked my htc radar and installed dft custom rom. when i connect to zune it shows that i can restore my phone to previous version (12 March 2012). I wonder if the restore proccess deletes the custom rom and install the original (with data from march 12)?
ZUNE only provides Stock updates.....if you update through ZUNE you will lose the Custom ROM and HSPL :/
You'll be back to the original state...
So if i want the original software and remove hspl i just use Zune to restore my phone to an early state (March 12 in my case)?
Thank you
Sent from my Radar 4G using Board Express
Sure,but you must install OSPL before .
Great! I don't need to look for some shipped roms.nbh
