Hi my HTC HD7 is from asia (Hong Kong) When i looked for a nodo rom they are like 3+ asia roms which one do i get??
Yeah i think thats my problem too. Im using a usb flash drive as my SD card and using a USB hub for connecting the phone's usb cable and the flash drive. As you said i think the reason why my phone is in USB host mode for ages is because my phone isn't connected to the flash drive instead the flash drive and phone is connected to the PC separately and my USB hub has a light which indicates which usb port is working and only my flash drive's light is flashing and my Phone cable's light isn't flashing. Am i right?
Yeahhhh, that configuration hasn't got a chance of working. The phone enters USB Host Mode. You shouldn't be connecting it to one of the ports on a USB hub; you should be connecting the hub to the phone's USB port (if this will even work through a hub)! Devices connected to the client ports on a USB hub can't even see each other directly!
hi,
i tried your method but my phone's went into a reboot loop when it boots to USB Host mode
edit:
here is my equipments
1. a Y-cable ( i also have a Y (or maybe T)-board, but it didn't work)
2. the gold card
3. a generic card reader (it's fast & cheap)

RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.54.728.01_Radio_5.51.09.29_22.32.50 should work.

The phone needs to be directly connected to the card-reader to work. The y-cable is 100% necessary.
As mentioned in the OP, you can use a flash drive as well. Some users confirmed that this works as well.
Cheers, Klaus
So the second part of the Y cable is pulling power to supply the SD card and reader yeah?
question is, would a powered USB hub do the same. if you had a powered USB hub with card reader I would have thought you could just connect it directly to the phone...
just wondering

That depends on whether the phone would be able to see the USB Mass Storage device through the USB Hub. Technically, the hub is different class of device and unless the phone has drivers for it, it wouldn't be able to see the client ports of the hub (including the one with the card reader or flashdrive).
If it does have the requisite drivers, and you could plug the hub into the microUSB port on the phone, that would probably work. The Y cable in only needed (instead of a standard 2-ended cable) because neither the phone nor the Mass Storage device is designed to supply power via USB, but the storage needs power in order to operate. A powered hub is designed to make up for the fact that a PC USB port isn't designed to power multiple USB devices at once so the hub itself provides the power for each. The phone shouldn't need any extra power, so the fact that a powered hub doesn't typically supply power along the uplink side of the connectoin (back to the PC, or in this case phone) probably wouldn't matter.

Check if your wires are combined correctly. Try different combinations if you are not sure.
And remember to format the sd card to fat32.

56Evening,
This a tutorial about how to easily downgrade your HTC Phones bootloader to install hspl and custom roms.
FAQ:
1) What is a GoldCard? A) It's a method to easily flash ROM files etc.
2) My phone performs an infinite reboot-loop, what to do? Answer: A couple of reboots are normal, if the phone keeps rebooting for more than 5 minutes, try this: a) Be sure to format the card to fat32 b) Try another sd-card/flashdrive or a different card reader. c) Check your cable configuration.
3) Can I fix a bricked bootloader with this method? Answer: Yes! If you're able to get into USB-Host Mode it's possible. If you're not able to get into USB Host Mode with a bricked bootloader, post a comment with you're device details, we might be able to help you out.
4) Only shows "Entering USB Mode" Answer: This means your phone can't access the file. A) Try another cable configuration B) Check if card is formatted to fat32 C) try another cable, card reader or card. Some cards/flash-drives just don't work. I highly recommend to use a SD/MicroSD card, since they're way more likely to work.
What you need
Hardware:
- Micro SD Card or SD Card. Some users succeeded using flashdrives (for example USB-sticks), but I highly recommend SD Cards/MicroSD Cards., since most flashdrives don't work.
- Card reader
- Y-Cable USB
- USB Gender Changer
Files:
- Goldcard-tool
- My custom goldcard.img
- Your device-specific .nbh image.
You need to download a nodo rom for your device and extract Ruu_signed.nbh via Winrar. Rename it to
-Sparimg.nbh for Spark (Trophy)
Rom-download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427904
-Spawimg.nbh for Verizon/CDMA Spark
Rom-download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427904

- MONDIMG.nbh for Mondrian (HTC 7 Surround)
Rom-download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427902
(Feel free to add more Devices in the comment section.)
or get a pregenerated package, ready to go: Many thanks to xda-user saywa!
So let's start:
- Make sure you're battery is above 50%
- Format the MicroSD Card to fat32
- Copy the .nbh Image to the MicroSD Card
- Launch Goldcard Tool
- While ignoring the cid box, choose "Load GoldCard.img" and select the goldcard.img you just downloaded
- Press "Patch MMC" and wait for confirmation
- Unplug the MicroSD Card
- Connect the Y-Cable and the USB-gender-changer like shown in the picture
- Connect the MicroSD-Card
- Connect your phone
- Connect the y-cable to an ordinary usb port
- Hold Power+Camera+VolumeDown until the USB Host Mode appears
- Wait about 30 min until the update completes. The phone may reboot a couple of times.
- After the update completed, unplug your phone and reboot
Now you can install HSPL, visit this thread for further details: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
After that, you can install any custom roms. You'll find those in the Development section of your Device forum in XDA. For example for Tropy here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=812

The reader is the important thing to power. The phone will power itself off battery. It can't supply power out its USB port though, so that needs to come from the outlet.
Many Y cables will have a thicker and a thinner arm of the Y. The thinner one has no data wires, just power (plug it into the wall). The thicker one should probably be going to the phone. That said, there's only 6 ways to connect the devices to the cable. It's quite reasonable to try all of them.3
There are few ones. I credited them in the OP.
The point why I wrote this guide is, that the previous guides often included unnecessary steps, they were sometimes inconsistent between each other, not very detailed, you needed to build yourself custom wires, and manually find the necessary files yourself.
So I wrote an easy, minimal, noob-friendly guide.
