Hi,
i updated my htc 7 pro to mango a few months ago. Now i wanna install some apps, that i downloaded. To be able to install those, an open phone is need.
Can you tell me, how i can jailbreak it, without downgrading back to nodo or windows phone 7, because i haven't a backup?
You have to do downgrade SPL and install HSPL and customROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19873059
when i've done this, i'm back at windows phone 7.0, is that correct?
Yes, but only on one moment because when you installed HSPL and customROM you have OS Version which has ROM (eg. 8107).
is there any other possibility that doesn't need flashing the rom, because i want to minimalize the risk to crash my phone?

The stock Focus ROMs are available in the device specific forum. Many have flashed them without issues. You'll be going back to 7004, and then work your way up the update path the nodo. Be sure to stop around 7008 and look into the Chevron Unlock and Prevent Relock, if you want to side load homebrew apps and tinker with the OS a bit. If you wait until you're on nodo (7390) you have to revert back and start again.
Hello all.. I know that maybe this is not the right Topic but i'd like to know if a rom for HTC HD2 can be flashed on my Trophy 7. Because i updated to mango and now my phone is locked.. Also i've lost my backup, because of zune update to 4.8 ... So I'm thinking of downgrading to Nodo.. Any ideas?

no. ROMs are only for one make and model of phone. You can't even swap HTC WP7 ROMs. You will need to use an HTC Trophy 7 ROM. Look in the Trophy Windows Phone 7 Developent forum here on XDA. Ansar has posted tons

So it is possible to flash my Omnia 7 from Mango back to a "normal" ROM?
Why is it then that everybody is so considered to have a backup?
I have flashed my phone approximately 3 times in the last month and getting all data back took approx. 30 minutes.

ROM flashing is intrinsically more risky than a backup
The backup process "should" be easier than flashing a ROM
ROM flashing isn't the official method supported by Microsoft
Some handsets simply don't have any ROMs available, i.e. the Dell Venue Pro
Without the backup, some data is lost forever: SMS, internal app data, call history, purchased apps that have been withdrawn from the marketplace, etc...
However, ROM flashing is a viable method of restoring to NODO once the public release is made.

Hi
I just installed Mango 7712 on my Omnia 7 following this tutorial. If I upgrade it to 7720 using the described method will I be able to later install offical updates?
you have to revert to NoDo from your Backup to get the official Mango
So when Mango is officially out I just revert NoDo from backup, install latest version of Zune and I'll receive Mango updates?
What would happen if I would have a backup (I have it, but just want to know if there is any other way to revert)?
Is there any more or less offical release date?
if you lost your bock up you would need to go back to AT&T (or whichever carrier) to flash back to an official ROM to get the official updates I believe
u can flash a new rom alone, i debranded my mozart that way from german t-mobile
More then likely you will be able to find a stock rom for your phone in this forum. I needed one and found it here for my phone. When you find it, you can flash it yourself.
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).
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 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

Hello,
I have been given a HTC 7 Pro T7576, Windows Phone 7.8, OS version: 7.10.8858.136, firmware rev. no. 2250.21.51101.401, hardware rev. no. 0002, radio software version 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U, radio hardware version A.102.0.D4, Bootloader version 5.11.2250.0, chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
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,
