It is possible - I've just done it. I'm away from home and I've been using my Hermes (with WM5 AKU 3.3) to get my iBook online all week. Finally WM6 has appeared but I'm stuck with no Windows PC to perform the upgrade...but XDA-Developers gave me all I needed to do it. Here's the outline of how to do it (you'll need to figure out some finer details yourself, but I will help where possible if you get stuck).
1) You need just the .nbh file from the WM6 package of your choice. Unfortunately they are built into Windows installers. I downloaded XDA-Live and extracted the .nbh file using Virtual PC.
2)
i) Backup your storage card.
ii) Format your storage card. (I used a program called "Storage Tools" for this).
ii) Rename the WM6 .nbh file to HERMIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of the empty storage card.
3) Get Des' SSPL program from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=34184&d=1171162518
4) Put the SSPL executable on your phone and run it. Cross your fingers. The phone should enter the bootloader and offer to upgrade the OS using the image it finds on the storage card.
And that's it. Once I'd figured this out, the method is straighforward. The part that has taken me all day is getting the image file extracted from a Windows world and onto a blank storage card using only a Mac and the phone itself (and no other internet connection)!
Hope this is useful to someone else.
Edit: typo.
Great! This method is much safe than other methods that depends on USB because you don't have to worry about someone unplug the USB cable, or if the PC will hang during the flashing process.
Maybe the only thing to check is to ensure that the device to have enough battery for flashing
BTW, how long will it takes for this SD upgrade method?
Brilliant!
Very ingenious solution! I'm not ready to flash yet, I want to see some bugs worked out of the WM6, but when I'm ready will probably try it your way just to see how it works!

Awesome, I'm using Vista, and I don't want to install XP just to flash Thank you.
Will this work with the Universal? I'm getting Vista soon and I want to be able to reflash if I need to.
Thanks in advance.

I didn't time it but I'd guess it only took about 5 minutes.
You CAN flash on Vista using regular ROM updaters (the .EXEs). That's how I upgraded to AKU 3.3 recently (I don't have an XP machine either).
You do it by connecting in bootloader mode so that "HTC USB Sync" appears in Vista's Device Manager. Then you replace that driver with the one from 2004 (I got mine off the CD that came with the phone). Then the ROM updater works
Now is there a way to exec the sspl.exe on boot? So that some of the bricked users can jump start into bootloader and flash any rom.
unfortunately not... sspl is a wince EXE.
Radio ROMS's
Does anyone know if the Radio only ROM's can be flashed by this method also. If you can do you name the .nbh file the same or use a different name.
You can flash any NBH file, radio os or whatever. But not extracted radio roms in NBF, only in NBH. The file must be named HERMIMG.nbh.

ok now back to the drawing board then... do you know whether the SPL can be forced into Service mode via the RomUpgradeUT.exe file... have been doing some digging around in the DLL's and EXE and found some info about a 'Service' mode....

Not sure if I understand your question.... the so called "service mode" is what we call "booltoader mode" or "tri-color screen".... just the same.
On normal RUU, the bootloader mode is invoked by EnterBootloader.exe, on custom RUU EnterBootloader.exe file has been replaced with SSPL-HERM.exe.

yes i know that BootLoader is a type of Service mode... i was talking about a different procedure... it looks like a command from the RomUpgradeUT file to signal the bootloader to just to flash the ROM and not check the RUU sig's, model type etc....

That's not possible with the normal IPL+SPL on device, load them on IDA Pro and you'll see what it exactly does, its small enough to follow all the disassembled code with the samsung manual in hand.
so......if i want to flash both radio and wm6,
all i have to do .. is to extract the nbh file from .exe using winrar or something and rename it, put it into a formated sd card.. and run the sspl thing and do the same for wm6 ?
yes hellokittyr, that's right.
Hi pof,
have you tried to digg into the radio ROM as well? Probably with the right manual in hand one could seperate the RBL from the rest and create a 1.35.00.11 radio ROM with RBL 0107.
So I haven't upgraded a Titan in while, but a friend wanted me to upgrade his. It's a US Cellular and I put DCD Reloaded on it and forgot it didn't include the radio. so here's what's going on.
As I said before I put DCDs 4 Reloaded.
I had loaded Nuespl 2.47, BUT now THr bootloader is saying it's back too SPL 1.07.0000.
The RADIO is 1.64.00.
THe ROM is 3.2.6.
It stuck on the HTC load screen. I have tried to load the 3.42.50 Radio via SD, but it will say loading and nothing happens. The SD is formatted FAT32 with 1024 allocation. Being US Cellular I don't have access to the stock ROM. Soooo, in short what do I do from here?
Did you name the radio TITAIMG.nbh for flashing with micro sd? What you could do is re-flash the bootloader (use olipro 2.40). When that is done flash a Official Sprint ROM GPS v 3.35 and up. Then flash the titan reloaded or whatever GPS enabled rom you are flashing.
Hope this helps, I would guide you through all the steps but I am exhausted. You can find all that stuff by searching here or ppcgeeks. The olipro 2.40 is on my share site. Sprint ROMS you can get some from htc and some from searching forums.

I have been trying that. OK so with the SD flash which I have never done before this time. Do I put the Unlocker and the Radio on the card at the same time or do I do them one at a time? Thanks in advance.
One at a time. It is not possible to have two files named exactly a like on a card at the same time.

Ok but the unlocker and the Radio DO have different names. Though I have been trying to added them one at a time, however on the bootloader screen it will say "loading" for either half a second or will freeze on "loading". The end result is still nothing changing, same SPL and same Radio. Im following ever thing to the T form the wiki, but it doesn't seem to work as they say it will.
The unlocker need to be done first.

I do this and it doesn't "update" anything I formated the SD in FAT32 w/ 1024 allocation, put the unzipped unlocker onthe card boot the phone in to the boolaoder mode it will load for like a half second and go back to the bootlaoder but the SPL doesn't update it stays stock 1.07.0000. I don't get what I'm missing?
I really don't know what unlocker you are using. But I haven't heard of an unlocker that can be run in bootloader. For example 2.47 can be opened in WM. I thought you might have found the .nbh for a unlocker but it sounds like you are putting a zip file on the card which won't work.

I'm following these instructions.
Upgrade via the microSD (<=2GB) card
(Thanks to No2Chem - donate here)
IMPORTANT: The nueROM web site indicates that nueSPL version 2.47 is designed for the HTC Titan with GPS enabled only (ROM versions 3.xx or higher). Any other device will be permanently and irreversibly damaged by this version of boot loader. (Please use your OEM's latest signed radio ROM to get to this version or higher before trying to install.)
Copy the nueSPL-2.47.exe file from the nueSPL-2.47 package onto your device. (A PDF file with instructions is also included in the package.)
Using File Explorer, run the nueSPL-2.47 application from where you copied it, read the license agreement, then press CONTINUE if you accept.
Read the prerequisite screen carefully. If it indicates that you do not have a FAT32 formatted partition, you will need to format your microSD card by pressing FORMAT (WARNING: this will erase any data on the microSD card).
If you meet all of the requirements, press CONTINUE. It will take approximately 10 seconds for nueSPL to copy the TITAIMG.nbh ROM to your microSD card, then nueSPL will automatically reboot your phone in order to load the ROM.
After the reboot, you will be prompted to press the POWER button to begin updating the new SPL boot loader. Once the installation is complete, the phone will reboot.
Allow your phone to fully reboot. Once your phone is rebooted, open File Explorer and inspect to see if your storage card contains the file TITAIMG.nbh. If it is present, delete it before continuing.
Press and hold the CAMERA and POWER buttons at the same time and hold down the RESET button (with stylus) until you enter a multi-color bootloader screen. You should see a screen that says SPL-2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT. If you see this text, your SPL has been sucessfully updated. If you do not, press the RESET button and start over from step 1.
I don't get where I'm going wrong?
Are you able to boot to windows to even run the .exe?
if you are unable to boot the phone bc the rom and radio do not match and you say that the spl is stock you won't be able to change it to unlock without being able to boot into the phone to flash the proper spl onto it to ublock it. Here is what your choices are.
Go to HTC's website http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=75&cat=2&dl_id=73 scroll to the bottom of this page select the sprint tv win mobile 6.1 upgrade and then a us server then click download.
Let the file download.
Run the file and let it get to the welcome to the rom update utility screen. Minimize the window do not close it.
Go to my computer and do a search for RUU_signed.nbh you should see one come up in the list if not you need to find your computers temp folder inside of your user profile. For example mine is C:\Users\Gator\AppData\Local\Temp (windows 7 vista and xp might be named a little different) inside that folder in the same search again.
Once you find that file rename it and to TITAIMG.nbh and load it onto your sd card. Put the card in the phone and put it in the boot loader mode Power + Camera held down + push the reset button in. The phone should load the rom and you will see the press the power button to begin the update.
This should work because the rom is signed.
Upon the first boot of the phone calibrate the screen yada yada. When u see the device will automatically customize in 3 seconds soft reset the phone.
Take the storage card out and put the nue spl 2.47 file on it. Run that to unlock the phone if it does not work it just means u need to load .net 3.5 on the phone b4 running the utility. http://rapidshare.de/files/39254419/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.html
Once you are unlocked and good to go u can now download whatever rom ie the dcd reloaded rom. Take the file zip or rar open it copy out the RUU_signed.nbh file rename to TITAIMG.nbh load it on sd card and do the bootloader process it will flash and u are good to go.
That would be the best way to do it i think as trying from the computer always leads to complications with the operating system or the user or the ppc giving you update errors.
You can try if you cannot locate the RUU_signed.nbh (that gets placed in a temp folder). To put the phone in the bootloader with it hooked up to the pc you will see it say usb @ the bottom instead of serial. Load the sprint udate utility that you downloaded and go through all the checks and nexts till it tries to update the phone. It will not show the current rom info but it should be able to flash the phone as all the utility does is put it in bootloader anyway b4 flashing.
Good Luck.

It's giving me an "Invalid Vendor" error. THe phone is a US Cellular model.
Also is there any way to go about this via usb from the booloader screen? The bootloader is stock 1.07.000.
Thank you all for your help, I've done this all before RIGHT but now that I have a Vogue I'm a bit spoiled but the ROM/Radio combos.
You cannot flash that new sprint rom and radio with that bootloader. Simple. I told you put olipro 2.40 on there via its own RUU. Its a exe how simple? Then you can simply from there flash a gps radio using RUU or MicroSD, Then flash a custom GPS enabled ROM using RUU or MicroSD. Each file needs done one at a time obviously. For RUU flashing the .nbh file should be named or renamed RUU_signed.nbh, for using MicroSD the .nbh file should be named or renamed to TITAIMG.nbh
And here is a PM I sent lacrizzle
RyanMogul6800 said:
Make sure your computer has htc drivers on it first. Then plug the phone into the computer and make sure it connects to active sync. Then run the OliPro 2.40 unlocked bootloader. Then install official sprint ROM with gps Radio, Then flash custom ROM, then change spc code to all zeros. Its not that difficult.

You could also try extracting the .nbh from the Olipro 2.40 exe. Some exe's have extractable contents and some are not. Use winrar, or 7zip. Olipro.exe is extactable and you will fine the .nbh in there. Then rename that to TITAIMG.nbh and flash using microsd method. This way seems to work when people are really really having problems. Then complete the other steps to get back to custom ROM.
There is no need for him to install a Sprint rom that wouldn't help him any. Unzip and add put the attached 2.47 Nue unlocker .nbh on your sd card and put the phone in bootloader. After the new bootloader is installed just update your radio by sd card and you are good to go.

Any reason why It took you four posts to realize a solution for the guy? Now all of a sudden you know of a unlocker that can be ran via micro sd in bootloader. Now all of a sudden you know the stock sprint ROM will not help him any.
Well seems like you may have been doing a little reading, and re-emphasizing since then.
We are all eager to help and are providing different solutions until his problem is fixed. I have posted and PMed the user several solutions including updating the bootloader first then the radio, then the custom ROM. Hopefully with all of our answers and knowledge the user will get his problem sorted out.
It is the same unlocker as before I just took the time to extract the .nbh from the .exe of the unlocker.
Whats the chances you found out that you could extract the .nbh from my post above? Then just applied it to the no2chem 2.47 unlocker?

Good work though, maybe flashing the 2.47 unlocker via micro sd will work out for the user. I always use olipro but I guess thats personal preferrence.
To bad that wasn't the case since this .exe is a wm executable so I wasn't following your instructions. Sorry about your luck
Very true, I didnt know that it was a WM exe. But like I already said I may have turned you on to the idea of extracting the .nbh from there wether you can use traditional methods or not. I also have never used that (from what I hear and read) buggy no2chem 2.47 unlocker.
But like I am saying you didn't turn me onto anything.
Hello,
I was searching the forums for a guide on how to flash my Touch Cruise II but could not find a solid guide.
I did find some information but i'm not sure if the following is correct.
- I downloaded the ROM (nbh file)
- Downloaded the Hard-SPL Unlocker
- Downloaded a (non-ID???) RUU
As far as i can see i should do the following:
- Connect the phone to my notebook using ActiveSync (or WMDC)
- Start the Hard-SPL application
- Put the .nbh file in the same folder as the RUU application
- Start the RUU application and follow the instructions
Is the above correct? I really don't want to goof up my phone.
thanks!

You can try the easy way:
First of all, make sure you have Hard-SPL installed on your phone!
1. - Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted in FAT32;
2. - Copy the IOLIIMG.nbh file to the ROOT of your card;
3. - Power down your phone and WHILE PRESSING VOLUME DOWN, press Reset and power it back on;
4. - Follow the on-screen instructions.
First of all, thanks for your reply!

But when I start the HARD-SPL application on my notebook it starts without any questions or errors
It seems it's a valid win32 application and not written for my phone.

EDIT: By "installed on your phone" you mean installing the bootloader from my notebook instead of installing from the phone. right?

I have read lots of threads and have downloaded the radio i need (2.07.50.27) to run the rom i need (sense 2.5 cookie). It says to Rename the extracted file to "RUU_Signed.nbh" (already is named that when extracted) and flash with the CustomRUU.
When I try to run CustomRUU through the handset it says it is not a pocketPC application. When I try to run it through the computer, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in hoping

Hello mate!
First of all: You have HSPL instaled on your device?? If the answer is YES, you could continue.
The CustomRUU.exe is a app for PC, so you need to run it on a PC not on your HD2, OK?!
So, to it work the way it is designed to work, you need to run it as admin (right click on the CustomRUU.exe and select RUN AS ADMIN...).
In case it does not work, you could flash the radio via SDcard (rename the NBH file to LEOIMG.nbh and put it on your SDcard. Enter in the bootloader and it will tell you what to do.)
Read here for more usefull info about flashing your LEO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Keep reading dude!
Hope it helps!
if customruu does absolutely nothing when you try to run it, chances are your anti virus program has disabled it. You need to turn off your av, and then download it again. (just turning off av is not enough, because it has already disabled customruu as soon as you downloaded it.)
I have the same issue.
HSPL is installed on the phone,
active sync is on,
and I have renamed the radio file and put it in same folder as the customruu.exe
I am running it as the administrator (no antivirus on the computer)
Nothing happens when I double click.
I have tried changing radio files, but still no luck.
I have downloaded customruu from 2 different sources to make sure its not corrupt.
Any ideas?

firstly, no need to rename the nbh file.
second, was there av running when you downloaded it? some av programs disable it as it arrives.
thirdly, you are right clicking and choosing run as administrator? cos just being logged on as administratior isn't the same. (though its less important for customruu than for hspl)
what operating system?
Hi samsamuel,
Thanks for the help.
I dont have a virus scan at all.
Laptop is running windows xp, there is only one account and it has administrator rights.
I have right clicked > Run As > Following User - there are 2 options, administrator or vik.
Admin account has not been set up, but I had a go at selecting it anyway (no luck),
also no luck with my main account "vik"
in that case only. suggestion i have is use sd card to flash, or try a different comp. sorry.
thanks mate, I have tried it on another computer and it has worked fine.
Updated the radio and now using andriod. cheers for the help
OK this is a Guide on how to Flash Xbmod & Yuki’s WP7 ROM (Mango 7720). It is not a replacement of the original thread simply an accompaniment, continue to use other thread to post issues and asks.
PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ /PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ / PLEASE READ
This sometimes causes offense- If you ask a question that has been answered here! You will not get an answer on the board–
If I link a thread visit the page and read the instructions and thank the person for taking the time and effort.
History
There are two ROM’s made by XBmod and Yuki (within a few days of releasing the ROM Yuki retired from XDA, may they RIP or be resurrected in the future) XBmod continues to build and offer solutions. But understand that you are indebted to them and others – for providing the ROM.
Concept
To build a WP7 ROM that can be updated by Zune when MS release updates and Also so that Dev’s or anyone can develop custom CAB’s to be sent to the device without the need to reflash or mess with the system…….
The ROM
Both are Unbranded i.e. Vanilla flavor i.e. No carrier branding and you have Root access.
There are two differences between V1 and V2 ROM’s
1. V1 - HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v1
a. Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21u
b. was an attempt to try and get he Sdcard working for other things but it failed, V1 remains for future development only
(Feedback from those testing V1 was that the Radio caused extreme battery drainage and the SD card created more issue than good, so V2 was born. V1 is left for others to play and possibly future development, to see if they can eventually get Dual boot to work – but it may never occur and quite frankly this ROM is so Stable & Pure and running on the best device ever, that you don’t need another OS)
2. V2 - HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native
a. Radio: 5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U
b. Formats the SD card like a native WP7 device
(Feedback about battery performance has been for most, positive with a few exceptions will attempt to build country table in Appendix)
Common Questions
Q. Which ROM should I use?
A. Use the V2 ROM for obvious reasons.
Note: When you flash you will LOSE ALL DATA from your SD card, so if you need it - back it up! Also some SD cards present issues so be warned not all work…..
Make sure it’s a SD card that works and is supported, otherwise you could face frequent reboots / freezes / restarts / loops. SandDisk seems to be the best so far try to use class 4, you can use, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and even 32GB
Q. Can I Dual boot and Run Android?
A. Yes. XBmod has released a CAB that can be used to unlock the SDCard for Dual boot.
Q. I’ve installed V1 should I move to V2?
A. that’s up to you, but the general consensus is Yes move to V2
Q. I’m on V1 do I need to Start right from the beginning – re-run the whole Process?
A. Update oriignally yes, but we have a report that someone has gone straight from V1 to V2 without going back to stock rom (WM6.5) by simply flashing V2 on top of V1. No reported problems. So, it's up to you...
Q. Do I need to change the HTC HD2 name in about to HD7
A. No the HTC HD2 is just afriendly name, it wont and can't cause any problems anywhere. The phone is registred as an HTC Schubert (HD7)
RADIO:There are two Radios:
The first which you install during the initial set-up and another which is Baked into the ROM. Some folk who want to play and experiment will want to change the Radio in the ROM – you can do this and more about that in the Appendix:
UPDATEL: XBmod is working on a CAB to change the Radio in the ROM, thus in the future you will be able to send the CAB and change the Radio.
What do I need?
HD2 unlocked and a WP7 Activation key (search the forum)
Hard SPL v 2.08 or higher
I used HSPL4 and selected HSPL2.08.
WP7 doesn’t support HSPL3.03/OSPL3.03. You need to select HSPL2.08 to run WP7 & MAGLDR.
Radio which supports 576 RAM. (Radio 2.15.50...)
I used Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14**:
Magldr1.13
Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock ROM
I used World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2
Zune Download and Install the lastest version of the client.
WP7 Update Cab Sender
Download and extract to a folder on your PC, this will be the tool used to send custom packages (CAB) to the device and offer backup and restore features:
HD2-7720fix
Extract to a Folder
The V2 ROM HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native
Extract to a folder

Radio:
There are 2 different Radios:
Radios that you can flash using HardSPL:
For installing a RADIO ROM you need to use HardSPL on your device: it won't hardreset your device.
Changing the Radio in the ROM
UPDATE: XBmod is working on a CAB to change the Radio in the ROM, thus in the future you will be able to send the CAB and change the Radio.
At present use the instructions below.
To use a different Software Radio you need to change the Part00.bin in the 7004 Data.zip and start the process to 7720 all over again... As for the regular HD2 radio we can continue to flash away
Steps:
Download the radio you want to use
You'll get a part00.bin file
In the V1 or V2 ROM you can find a data.zip file
Replace in data.zip the part00.bin with the one you downloaded
Go through the usual process of installing the ROM
For EU Leo users who want to try 5.51 (without the t) see this post by LittleH79 .
Simple guide to replace the radio:
- Download 7zip from the web and install it.
- Download V2 rom.
- Download my radio attached.
- Extract attached radio to a folder (inside is part00.bin)
- Extract V2 rom to a folder
- Go to the extracted rom folder.
- In there you'll find Data.zip
- Open this folder with 7zip.
- Open the folder where you saved my attached radio (part00.bin)
- Simply drag file part00.bin inside 7zip window
- Wait a few moment and you're done
- Just to be sure, if it went well you'll see that file part00.bin has 2 dates changed
The Radio I’m sure will become a topic in its own right! what you have to remember is that there is no right or wrong Radio, it’s all about how close you are to a tower, Signal strength, country etc etc etc, right now to change the ROM radio you need to flash, hopefully someone can figure out how we can flash it without needing to Flash the ROM, perhaps a CAB.....
RADIO TABLE (need Data from folk for this)
SIM lockedIf you have SIM locked device from your mobile provider, before you upgrade to WP7 you must unlock the device (if you want SIM lock free). unlocking not working under WP7. For unlocking you must have unlock code... in most case, you must buy this code from any trusted GSM unlock site) or contact your carrier and ask them for an unlock code, typically they will give you one.
Thanks to dxdy
SD cards and unlocking them.
Once WP7 formats your SDcard, your computer won't read them since WP7 locked them this is part of the security feature built into WP7.
But if you need to, you can format the cards in certain devices, you should use one of thre following reported methods
Nokia N or E series
Nokia Phone
Nokia Symbian OS phone
PDA like 5250
N95
Canon camera
Nikon Camera
If you don’t have one of the above and rather than buying a new SD card, borrow one from a freind, or even go to a store and ask the store guy, and ask him if its ok that they let you use one to do it.
Custom and Special CAB's:
DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab (this will install the unlock tool for your sd card (providing the possibility of dualboot))
DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.CAB (as always a second CAB removing the above function "unlock tool" Warning your SDCard will be relocked at reboot resulting is dataloss.)
HTML 5
Is working.
This looks fantastic! I was having problems and just about to give up and go back to my previous rom, but this has given me a few areas where i could have gone wrong!
The installation instructions with the rom were sketch at most, so this is a great addition to yuki and XBmod's brilliant work!
I hope it's ok I post here...
I'm only a bit wary about doing this, because I don't have a serial to activate WP7.
Plus, I'd like to know if it's possible to have Portuguese(Portugal) as the display language, and how to do that...
Also, I got a 4GB, class 4, sd card from Kingston.
How do I know if it is compatible?
Can you help?
Ok, now I believe I could flash that ROM. All other explanations were written mostly for the authors. Thank you very much!!

Q. I’m on V1 do I need to Start right from the beginning – re-run the whole Process?
A. Yes you do.

I went from v1 to v2 without going back to stock rom (6.5) but just flashing v2 on top of v1. Not had a single problem. So, it's up to you...
Edit: Nice tutorial!

Its not really okay for you to post a question on the front page, in the development section, but since you have now, i will answer your question, maybe it will add to the guide.
Unfortunatley i do not know about the language, but if you have look around the forums, you will easily find out that its not possible for anyone to say for sure whether your sd card will work, even when a card of the same spec works. So its purely luck. Try and flash Yuki's rooted rom on the developement section of this forum first, to determine whether your card works, then move onto this.
As for the activation code, you will only be asked for this when connecting to the marketplace.
I was able to get mine by phoning up, however some people have been unsuccessfull in doing this now, but its always worth a try. Then you code can be used multiple times, so if you flash over your rom, you can re-enter it again in a clear rom fairly easily, as long as you keep the same XBOX LIVE ID and dont change too often.
only small tip
if you have SIM locked device by mobile provider, before upgrade to WP7 you must unlock device (if you want SIM lock free). unlocking not working under WP7
for unlocking you must have unlock code... in most case, you must buy this code from any trusted GSM unlock site (unlock-now for example... very fast and good support)

I replied on the main board
Unfortunatley this guide hasnt worked for me.
During the stage of updating to 7008, on step 8, restarting your phone, the phone re-boots and locks up, i cannot move anything on the phone, and the installation will go no furrther.
Any ideas as to what this could be?
I cannot format my memory card again after applying the magldr services sub options (24mb thing and the other) so its basically dead to the computer, even through USB mass storage mode on MAGLDR.
Any ideas people? i flash 6.5 previous too with 2.15 rom. Left software radios the same, tried english us and uk when setting up phone for first time, neither worked.
