Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

I would like to update phone to Windows 7.8,as i can see,i think that my phone hasn't got stock rom,so how sholud I update it to 7.8?Can i install stock 7.8 rom or I have to install some other 7.8 rom?And do I have RSPL/HSPL installed on my device?When I connected phone to Zune,it gave me an update to 7.10.8783.12,I went through,but it gave me a error code 80180048,so what should I do?

Thank you in advance.

As I can see my device has got HSPL installed,so I followed this tutorial to install custom rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295068

But,when i want to install rom using task29 i get error,saying that device is not connected.
First I have entered bootloader mode,than i connected the phone to PC,on phone screen it changed from SERIAL to USB,but no luck,task 29 keep saying that device is not connected,so I can't install 7.8 custom rom.

Please help.

Thanks.

Do you want to install a custom ROM or do you just want to update to WP 7.8?

if Bootloader version is 3.xx or 2.xx or 1.xx
download XSPL, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16189671&postcount=1
extract the contents of the rar.
run DFT_RSPL..._LAUNCH.exe
please, read information text. select 'Next' button.
power off device and enter Bootloader.
connect device via USB to PC, 'Serial' will change to 'USB' once connected properly.
select 'Next' button on the XSPL wizard and it should now detect your device.
note. do not proceed if OSPL is 5.xx or 4.xx, instead go to Step 05.
select the closest OSPL, on the wizard, to the one on device.
select 'Next' button. wait until wizard proceeds to final page. read and close window.
note. device must boot into Bootloader.
if Bootloader reads RSPLX.Y.Z and CotullaRSPL, then RSPL was successful.
continue to Step #30 or #38.

The Dynamics 2.2 ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523991 ) has all the Nokia apps pre-installed,
The Deepshining 8.1 doesn't, you will need to install them manually

I don't understand,I have to install RSPL or HSPL every time when i want new ROM?
When I enter Bootloader here is what it says.

PD29100 SS-BC (4K)
HSPL3.1.2250.0(119314)
CotullaHSPL 0x07
TOUCH S1(v1.8,#1624)

SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-v211v413

If I understood it from the guide above,i just have to install Custom ROM now?Am I right?

Yes,but like I said,I tried twice to install it,and task 29 said that device is not connected,
I followed task 29 steps,and it says.

2.Establish an ActiveSync connection with your Pda Phone.

I think this is the problem why it doesn't work,becuse there is not ActiveSync for Windows 7,but I installed Windows Mobile Device Center,but still no luck,what i noticed is that my PC can see the phone in Windows Mobile Device Center only if i turn on Zune,emidietly if I turn of Zune,Windows Mobile Device Center says that device is not connected,and trouble is that when phone is in Bootloader,Windows Mobile Device Center and Zune don't recognize it.

Plug your USB cable in your PC without your phone connected, now turn off your phone and press power on + volume down on your phone and the colour screen will pop up at the bottom it will say "Serial", now you will need to plug in your USB cable that was already connected to your PC and the drivers will install and if you have done everything right it will says "USB" at the bottom of your screen

Thans,it went through,I am installing The Deepshining 8.1 ROM right now. :)

I'm happy to hear that! Now for Nokia Drive try this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2070997

Q: How to deploy XAPs?
A:
1. You need to connect your phone to your desktop
2. Start Zune and wait for Zune to discover your phone.
3. Run Multiple Xap download here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943842 and make sure your device is not screen locked.
4. Deploy Xaps

Have fun with your new ROM.

Ps. a click on the thanks button would be highly appreciated

    When you enter bootloader while your phone is connected to the PC there will need to be some drivers installed
