Hi. I have a question, I'm new in the HTC Radar topic and i want to know if there are any possibilites to install .xap files on Htc Radar without flashing a custom ROM.
If i want to flash a custom ROM, what should I know ? I understood that i should flash DFT SPL, AFTER THAT THE HSPL, and finally the custom ROM. It's OK ? I don't wanna brick my device.
Thanks for help !
it's impossible to install xap files without full unlocked. If you can flash the HSPL on your device successfully,that's really great. if can not, you need to use goldcard.
you can purchase a Developer Account or if you are a student, you may qualify for DreamSpark.
both are alternatives to going the Custom ROM route.

I have a quick question, I didn't see it anywhere so thought I'd ask:
I'm going to be buying a locked 8525 and I want unlock it so I can use with T-Mobile and I want to upgrade the ROM to one of the many ROMs available here.
My question is: is there a particular order this must be done? Can I upgrade the ROM then unlock? Do I have to unlock, then do ROM? Or will upgrading the ROM unlock for me?
Just wanted to check if there one's a certain way, or if anyone else was in a similar situation.
Thanks.
you can do it which ever order you want
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.
I want to upgrade to a custom ROM and didn't know if there was an order, etc.
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.
check out the fourth stickied thread in this forum for info on unlocking, then the first stickied thread in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum for the BEST info on flashing.

Take a look at my videos!
Be a good idea after unlocking to check your SPL again because I'm pretty sure you downgrade it to SPL 1.40. This culd problems if you then try to refash thinking you've got Hard SPL ver 7 (SPL : 2.10 Olipro) installed. Cheers..
Hey guys!
Im quite new to all this.. So my question is: How do i update my radio? And ROM? I want to run Android on my HD2. So i really need to update radio, but i dont know if i need to update ROM? And what ROM would be good, and whats the difference between all the ROMs?
And HSPL
A guide in a link or here for me and new members would be awesome(I couldn't find anyone with the search function, thus this thread)

Hi. Just download a new radio and instal in the same way as you instal a new ROM (cooked or stock). To change ROM you need HSPL, easy to instal:

To get Android you must chage radio, you don't need to change rom but som ROM's are "android friendy" so Android works on this ROM faster and more stable.
Every ROM are different, and it depends what you want.

No problem Ask whatever you want
Hi guys,
Don't know what to do!
I had an exclamation mark on my device maybe because I putted a wrong ROM. Later on my device didnt work anymore and then I putted hspl 1.66 on my HD2. When I open the boatloader it says that the device is spl 1.66.hspl.xe But when I try do put a nother stock (NLD radio signed 1.66 ) ROM from my windows 7 the device reaches the upgrade screen but does not proceed with the upgrade and stuck there all the time.
How can I solve this problem?
Hey all,
I'm a little confused as to what I need to do in order to flash a custom ROM onto my HD2. I heard that now since we have HardSPL 2 or HardSPL 3 out there, we don't need a gold card anymore. Is that correct?
Also, with HardSPL 2/3, does the application automatically detect what SPL version you have on your HD2, or does it just flash a HardSPL knowing that it'll be the correct version? My HD2 was brought from the UK, I believe it's the Euro version (512MB ROM).

hi, you will need HSPL to flash a cooked rom or a different radio. the new 3.14 OEM builds come with SPL 3.03 which will not work on vendor locked phones hence a goldcard image is needed to unlock these devices. hope thats simple enough.

Hy guys, I've some questions for the great developers of this forum:
one month ago, I installed the custom ROM Deepshining v3 (7740, perfect ROM!) on my HTC Mozart but now I want to upgrade my mobile to 8107 (just for fun ). I think that I have to install another ROM, like Nextgen or NewTech, but can I upgrade directly trought Zune or may I can lose the unlock?
Alternatively even if I decide to install a stock ROM (8107) on my HTC (SPL 1.32) can I unlock the device with Chevron or with another method, without mount a custom ROM? In this case, I've to convert my HSPL to OSPL or I can flash directly the stock ROM on my custom ROM and then unlock the phone?
Thanks
Hi,
I think deepshining blocks cab update so you will need to install a new rom... It's a real pain, that's why I am using ansars (newtech) as it seems to allow cab update.
No doubt, there will always be a new firmware update and it sucks rebuilding the device everytime.
You can flash any stock rom, but, yes, you will lose unlock and the b/l will probably be upgraded when it updates to 77xx. In which case you may end up having to go back to nodo just to rspl/hspl.
This topic is not Development!
Please move your topic to HTC 7 Mozart General!
sry for my eng ;P
Hello. I want to buy a HTC Radar and I want flash custom ROM because I need BT transfer, File Manager and other good stuff. So I must install HSPL with Y cable and Gold card ? Or maybe I dont understand ? (sorry for bad English)
depends if radar has been supported MIDs
List of supported MIDs:
“PI061100, “PI061000"
if not supported, then you must install HSPL with Y cable.
Here is everything explained ... good luck
If your MID (you can find it in SPL) is supported, you just flash SPL, then HSPL and then ROM (you may need flash proper radio too).
If you have T-Mobile or AT&T Radar, you have to use y-cable for SPL flashing. HSPL and ROM can be flashet from computer.
It may look hard, but it's pretty easy.
Ok. Thank you for fast reply

after downgrade SPL to 2.5 , you need to install the Radio .nbh ,
tell me if i'm wrong
You have to install the correct radio for the ROM. It should say with each ROM what radio it needs...
There is an exe with a wizard that will install the radio, just like the ROM...
