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.

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.

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!!

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.
Hello! I have a Nokia Lumia 920 that I did software reset on it (Settings - about - reset) and it bricked..
Going to my retailer is not an option at this time..
Power and volume down just sends it to the same boot screen (Nokia).
I tried the fix for bricked 920 using Nokia Care Suite but the program cant find the phone but it is plugged in and I follow all instructions (according to the guide found on google.

I tried that now, but it didnt work. The program fails before the lightning and cog shows up.. And just doing the reset wont bring up the lightning and cog at all.
This is what is happening:
1. Retry on the computer and Volume down + Power on Lumia
2. Nokia symbol in the middle of the screen on Lumia (The ATT logo shows up in the US at this stage I presume)
3. Vibration on the Lumia, I switch to volume up.
4. The program fails and shows the popup with Retry button BEFORE the lightning and cog symbol on Lumia
5. lightning and cog symbol on Lumia but it is to late.
What am I doing wrong?
I have a swedish black Lumia 920 and I am using the swedish rm-821.
Thank you for trying to help!
//Fatal
switch to a different USB port. I had the same problem with my hp notebook where there were usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 ports. Funny thing was that I tried the USB 2.0 port first and it did not work, when I tried the USB 3.0 port, the software detected the phone and flashed it straight away.. Your luck may vary so I suggest trying all the USB ports until it works Good luck

Hello,
I used my NL920 with Portico update and I didn't encountered problems with it like is "black screen of dead";
all the apps were normal and the live tile updates for the apps and for the system worked like charm.
After the Amber was available for my phone wasn't available the OTA update; even after a month ))))
So I download the firmware by it's original product code via NCS and I flashed it.
I saw all the new features with camera, calls blacklist, fm radio etc but in the same time the problems came out:
live tiles doesn't work anymore, the browser can't open new tabs on some sites, forums; the browser can't remember the username and the pass like was in previous version; the update for the operating system (storage checker and all the others) doesn't work anymore.
Any idea how to solve this issue because is very annoying;
should I have to write another firmware in my phone like the developer version or other?
My original rom is unbranded german rom.
Thanks!

Your Phone must be disconnected from PC during these steps.
Go to the Folder option and Uncheck these options.
(I use windows 8.1 so this options exist in all type of windows, maybe just slightly different)
1-Show hidden files and folders or drives
2-Hide protected operation system files
Then go to :
C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821
( Attention: rm-821 or rm-820 depends on your phone) mine is 821.
Check if there is Rom and Firmware files over there, rm-821 folder must be around 1.23 GB.
If yes then you need Nokia Care Suit (2012.45.4.5)
Attention : older versions does not support Lumia 920
Download it from : HERE
after installation go for : C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Nokia Care Suite\Application Launcher\bin
and click on "ApplicationLauncher.exe" from opened application choose "Product support tool for store 5.0"
In the new opened page go to:
Files - Open product and choose your Lumia 920 (Attention: be careful on your RM, if you have rm-820 or rm-821)
A red Lumia 920 will appear.
Down there you may see "Programming" open it and choose "Recovery"
it should automatically find your ROM from mentioned folder above.
it should be something like: 059R*** RM-821 VAR *** 3047.0000.1326.2002
Press start and follow the instruction ... DONE
My NCS version is 2013.38.3.2. Lumia 920 RM-821. Haven`t used it yet though but it seems compatible.

But I already flashed my phone via NCS with Amber update;
The flashfiles folder is in c/ program files/ nokia/ phoenix/ products/ rm-821;
I made this path for the flashfiles because all other products are there installed.
Also I modified the path in the NCS.
You tell me that I need to flash it ONLY with the version 2012.45.4.5 ?
I'm using Xp sp3 on my pc and the version of NCS I don't remember right now but I think is higher than the version that you mentioned..
I'll check tomorrow when I'll be at the office and I'll reply.
Thanks!

Phoenix?
in XP i think the ROM is in: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia\Packages\Products\rm-821
Maybe you downloaded ROM from unofficial page, is not it?
If yes, please use NCS [go to download option enter product code , exactly as your device is] then NCS will download it for you.
Attention: Did you changed you product code recently?
if you unlock your phone you will be able to change product code. did you do that?
if yes please recover your product code to original state.
Before doing this please backup your rm-821 folder save it as zip then:
go to .....Nokia\Packages\Products . stay in product folder and delete everything inside the product folder.
then try to download your rom from NCS
and yes when you download NCS 2012, it says there is update for your NCS, about 140 MB i think !!!
let it update.
Sorry but why you have phoenix ? I do not thing that's a true installation path !!!
better to uninstall your unofficial Nokia software and Note that remove all folder about Nokia in appdata and program files
both of them:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia (C:\Program Files\Nokia )
C:\ProgramData\Nokia
or in xp
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia
Flashing a different Color ROM also may cuz bugs in your phone (eg: installing Lumia Red Color on Lumia White) plz be careful about product code.
Your ROM indexes must show as what wrote on Lumia Box (eg: you will see something as : this product made for Netherland and has 2 year warranty or guaranty in this country ) it means your phone has EU brand.
if BOX and installed ROM is different then your product code changed.
any more question? please ask...
Regards

Yes Bro I forgot to mention 2012.45.4.5 and above.
Change your region via full OTA.
You do everything at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damages. The Chinese version cannot be changed in this way, please use this guide.
This guide allows you to change region within one Android version or upgrade without unlocking the bootloader. Android 13 prepackaged OTA files for India and EU regions will be listed here. If you want to switch to another region, you can ask the author of the post or edit the OTA file yourself according to this guide.According to this guide, user data will not be deleted.
Spoiler: Editing the payload-properties.txt file in full OTA
Download the full OTA from this link Move it to your device's internal memory To edit you will need an advanced device manager that you can download from the Play Store
Through the file manager, we find the OTA file that we are going to edit. Click on the file and open it in the manager, 3 files will open. Click on payload-properties.txt and change the line oplus_update_engine_verify_disable=0 to 1
We save in the upper right and you leave. The edited file will update in about 3 minutes. There may be an update error and there will be two zip archives in the folder, nothing wrong with that! We will keep both files but select the file without tmp to update.
Instructions : 1. Download the full OTA of the desired region and put it in the root directory of the internal memory.
RMX3301_11_C.20_IN
RMX3301_11_C.19_EUEX
RMX3301_11_C.19_RU
2. Installation of the OPLocal_ Update application. Go to your smartphone's settings, then Apps > Management. applications, 3 dots and check Show System ! Look for SOFTWARE UPDATE and clear this app's cache and data! Then install the OPLocal_ Update app for Android 12 or 13 (choose the version that is current on the device)
OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
OPLocalUpdate_For_Android13.apk
3. Installing an update through a third-party application! Next, open the app we installed and update it through it (gear top right and select the .zip file in the root directory of the internal memory), an installation window should appear! If everything is fine, the process will start and you will be prompted to restart your smartphone after installing the update. Installation takes 20-30 minutes.
After restarting your smartphone, you are in a new region.
It is recommended to flash the firmware file twice to flash both slots!
Many thanks to 4pda forum members KRD_RUS and [email protected] who created the tutorials.
Spoiler: Video instructions
Excellent tutorial. This was the only way possible, I was able to change the Rom from Global (previously Chinese) to INDIA region.
Thanks pal for all your help!
What is the point of changing to India region? Does the india rom have built in call Recorder?
I chose these regions because of the GDPR version and export.
Call recording has RU version.

Only RU has call Recorder?
How does this affect ota security updates?
The RU version has recording for sure.
OTA will run smoothly.
With this procedure I won't need to unlock the bootloader? So does that mean that NFC and banking apps don't work perfectly?
Yes, they will work without problems.
Hello
You only linked India and EU roms, is the RU rom available somewhere ?
Link added
from IN C12 my can't transfer through EUEX C12 this way? Thanks
You can
Does Russia have C 12 or only C 08 because Realme wont update due those stupid sanctions?
The Realme server only offers C.08, but C.12 should arrive by air.
Hi! I'm on GDPR version (GT2 RMX3311) and I wold like to unlock the bootloader by switching region to India, unlock via deep testing apk, and flash back the GDPR firmware, will this work? Will the bootloader remain unlock if I flash gdpr fw back?
Tried it, it doesn't work for GT 2.
@daniml3 tried it
So, I flashed the Indian ROM and all was fine, except that RIL didn't work, so l didn't have a working SIM and neither an IMEI, so I couldn't unlock the bootloader as it needs a working IMEI for that.

Has anyone tried to use the (RMX3311) "modem.img" in the (RMX3312) "payload.bin" and then to flash the RMX3312 FW on the RMX3311 GT2 ?

According this method, the Taiwan Ver. was successfully converted to the India Ver. Install google play coloros Phone APP. can automatically record calls
I have downloaded the firmware file and placed it in the root folder, but the updater still says "Move installation package into root directory".
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
