Hello,
I have a problem and I am afraid of bricking my HTC 7 Pro (PC92100 SS-BC).
The situation is, I have HSPL and custom mango DFT 7713 ROM (5)USA_HUN_CSY_PLK release).
Now ... what's the best method do get official Mango, without bricking my device? I suppose I should revert to Original SPL, then flash 7004 stock ROM and then upgrade via Zune. Is this right? Can you give me link and exact (verified) method how did you upgraded to offical Mango?
btw. probably there isn't any way to backup and transfer my SMS? Probably not, right?
Thanks in advance

You have to read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013810 and choose ROM for your device (for not branding devices like yours: RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3 a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar)
And won't it break anything? A lot of roms has written that if you have HSPL, it will totally damage your phone without any means to recovering it from bricked state.
I flashed that ROM many more times and all works good, but guaranted gives only producer. Everything you do for your risk.
And did you have HSPL? And did it remove it? And is that ROM completly _stock_ one, without any modifications? I can't find this info in the thread you posted. :/
I don't understand you ?
You want stock ROM and remove HSPL, yes ? I take the link with that ROM.
You ask, whether damage your phone ? I wrote you: I DON'T KNOW what you do with device and do not make a repo.
I wrote to you what I do with my device and whose ROM's I used. If you want guarantee from me that you not break your phone, I can only give it to you if you promise to sell him.
I installed the Mango 8107 update on my Samsung Focus S phone, using Heathcliff74's CAB's method, but I forgot to back-up my phone first. Now, I'm trying to install some themes that voluptuary posted, but they won't install unless I'm on 7740 or lower, and my only restore point/back-up is from today, with 8107 ALREADY installed!
Is there any way for me to revert my AT&T Focus S back to 7740 or 7720 WITHOUT having my back-up?!!
Thanks,
Dennis
I had the same issue a couple days back. I had 8107 and wanted 7720 to interop unlock it. Problem was I had no backup what so ever.
So what I did is I went to the phone specific forums and looked around for a Custom ROM (in my case) but originally I wanted to put a shipped 7720 ROM on there to interop unlock and update though Zune. Also looked for a tutorial on there.
In your case it should be in "Samsung Focus (S)" --> "Focus Windows Phone 7 Development".
As people in my question (nearly entirely the same as yours) answered it is only possible to revert back to an older version (if you dont have a backup) if you flash a shipped 7720 ROM.
(people in the phone specific forum will help you further im sure!)
Good luck
Yea, with out a custom rom, OEM rom or a backup your SOL. Sad to say...

For your (@ OP) case I would just recomment a shipped ROM (7740 or 7720) as this requires you to downgrade your bootloader just once.
If you want a custom ROM you need to perform a lot more actions (aka downgrading the bootloader way further) before you can install that, takes more time and is more risky (not saying "a lot" more but speaks for itself)
I am wanting to interop unlock my hd7 running latest mango. i tried the htc unlock xap and the connection setup app (which tells to use interop unlock as country) but to no avail. has anyone been able to get interop unlocked on htc hd7 ?

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

Hey thanks again! Im going to try it out today, cross fingers, Ill let you know how it all went. I appreciate the help.
Well?? Did it work? Would really like to know before I attempt the same
Thanks
did it work ????
Hi guys.
Im looking for a good tutorial for 3 days now, like you know.. whats the best way to get a fully unlocked orginial htc european schubert device?
There are all these custom rom's (which is just awesome.)
But there are also some people that would like to keep the original rom.. maybe slightly modded so its unlocked and doesnt relock.
I know there are Posts like this that explain how to go to Mango + JB .. but they are like 5months old and for some it doesnt work anymore.
Isnt it possible to just have the latest stock rom with a little "customization" (e.g. unlock / prevent relock) in it ?
greets dev
Stock ROMs *cannot* fully unlock right now. It's quite simply not posible at this point. I'm working on it, but don't expect any breakthrough in the next few weeks. This will take time.
In the meantime, a stock ROM can interop-unlock just fine. To interop-unlock, and maintain interop-unlock, you need to have firmware version *.*.4XXXX.* or lower. Your firmware version goes up when you install HTC updates, so don't do that! There's one HTC update that comes with Mango, if you're upgrading from NoDo. It will break apps like TouchXplorer, but it can still be used for interop-unlock (although many interop apps won't work).
Note that I'm assuming your phone is dev-unlocked in some way. If you don't have either an AppHub account or a ChevronWP7 Labs token, you can't interop-unlock either. Making the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker work is hard now, even if you flash back to an ancient version ROM that can use it (like 7004).
Anyhow, after upgrading to Mango, install the HTC Interop Unlock XAP (it's in Heathcliff74's Interop Unlock guide thread on the dev&hacking sub-forum) and follow the instructions in the thread. That will interop-unlock the phone, enabling the installing of as many apps as you want, and allowing the use of apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in their manifests. It will also prevent automatic relocking of your phone.
That's as close to fully unlocked as a stock ROM can get right now. If you need to be more unlocked, there are three options: Install a custom ROM (probably requires downgrading your bootloader to SPL v3.1 or lower), wait however long it takes to figure out how to do full unlock on a stock ROM, or wait the relatively short time for Heahtcliff74 to finish and publish WP7 Root Tools v0.9, which will support HTC and will allow you to elevate any app to root (not the same as full-unlock - you still won't be able to run homebrew or ported WinMo EXEs, for example - but fairly close).
Hi I recently fixed my HTC HD7 after a few months because my phone locked itself for no reason and my SPL was 5.1xx =.=, I just downgraded it using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837. I used this rom to downgrade it "RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.54.728.01_Radio_5.51.09.29_22.32.50.10_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE"
After so many updates that i missed I am now lost on what to do to my phone to get the lastest tango update. Please don't reply telling me to use the seach button because i've tried and I am not really good with this flashing phone stuff.
Can someone be kind enough as to link me and tell me instructions onto getting my phone back to an updated version.
My phone specs:
-HTC HD7
-SPL 3.xx
-Not full unlocked
-Not interop unlocked
-Nodo
I think my next step is getting a custom rom from DFT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647 but i can't seem to find the newest tango rom and what i should do to flash it on my phone.
Please help me !!:laugh::good:
The best place to get ROMs is from the phone-specific forums (in your case, the HD7 forums) here on XDA-Devs. You'll also need to install HSPA before you flash your custom ROM; the instructions to do that are on the WP7 Dev&Hacking sub-forum. Once you've got HSPL (make sure your bootloader version is right!!!) then you can install a custom ROM. The program to do this is called ROM Update Utility, commonly "RUU", and usually when you download a ROM it will come pre-packaged with RUU. If not, you can download something that doe come with RUU and replace the packaged ROM image files with the ones from your custom ROM.
