Finally! The HSPL for The HTC Arrive is here!

[IM0001]

Finally we can start making and flashing custom roms to the HTC Arrive.
We just need some Roms now. Hopefully we can get a few of the old Rom cookers back into the game. Ah a guy can hope right?


Anyway..

To get the HSPL (#3) go Here
To Downgrade from the Mango Update's 4.3 Bootloader Go Here
It is a pretty easy and straightforward job for the Sprint Arrive, I cannot comment on any other versions. And you must check that you have only 4.3 (or 4.X where X = any number) but the downgrade will not work without the Goldcard method if anyone has a SPL Bootloader of 5.0 or above. Just be warned. If you brick your phone, it is your own fault that you could not read these simple instructions and warnings.
Read, Read again, Be Patient, ???, Profit.

@fixxxer2012 the HD7 has had custom roms for the past year or so now.

I can confirm that this works on the arrive as i currently have HSPL installed on my Arrive.

So far so good with the HSPL on my Arrive too. I've only seen two custom ROMs come out:

NewTech:

DFT Freedom:

I've personally been running the DFT ROM for a day and half now with no issues.

@haramzee that's up to sprint to push out the update to enable it. Doubt it'll happen anytime soon given their commitment to WP and the condition of their network. The custom roms will probably have it tho.

I was able to get the radio & bootloader to 1.51.00 just fine.

Looks like I need to wait until they get my specific HTC Arrive model supported

Excited to hear about support for the HTC Arrive, but sadly my MID is not supported. Per Launch tool reporting to DFT.
