Download it from the original ROM thread and flash it (same way you flashed the UK rom).

and after that restore stock spl from the hard-spl thread to have it completely stock again (you need that for example if you want to return it for warranty). If you want to flash another rom again someday, you can leave hard-spl untouched.

Nopes ! there's no need to downgrade or do CID unlock again,G3 once CID unlocked remains unlocked forever.Secondly there's also no need to reflash back the official rom before any other upgrade,just download any wm6 custom build rom and flash it.
yeah, your right. i got a tnt rom. all i did was download, extract, copy romupdater from the extracted to my wizard. ok, cool
if anyone can help,how to flash my X1 to stock ROM?
If you have a backup of your old ROM, just reflash it.
Check the Sticky threads!

One of the sticky threads at the top of the forum lists all the stock ROMs that are about and provides download links, look here. Assuming you've flashed a custom ROM, simply download the stock one that's closest to what you need (e.g. GENERIC UK R3AA010 for the latest UK Generic stock release) and then flash it.
Some of them overwrite the bootloader (R3AA010 UK writes bootloader, radio and ROM) so that would put your device totally back to stock manufacturer state.
Don't forget to hard-reset to make sure you have a clean installation after you've flashed your stock ROM.

well, instead of opening a redundant new thread you should have read some of the sticky section
pavelx1 for stock rom
biovolt for tutorial (if necessary)
jackleung for sd-method in case you dont like customruu
and olinex in case you want stock spl as well (and its not in stock rom)
cheers
1.) redundant thread
2.) you've already been pointed where to download stockroms & how to flash them
3.) if you've flashed custom-roms, you have hard-spl on your phone. to fully revert to stock (i.e. for warranty reasons), you need to flash stock-spl too. (AFTER flashing stock rom!!!)
how to flash stock-spl is explained at the end of the first post here.
again, stock-spl is only needed if you're going to send your phone to SE-service or sell it.

Yes you can go here http://67.228.111.202/shipped/Buzz/ and select the RUU rom you wish to go back to. download and save to ur pc then run the RUU with ur phone connected to the pc via the usb cable.
!!!NOTE IF YOU FLASH AN OFFICIAL FROYO ROM YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET ROOT!!!

Thanx a lot,
but there are many ruu version here and no one is like mine...
is it a problem?
if i do a nandroid, can i restore mine stock rom version after flash a cooked rom?
Thanx again
Which one is yours? You can flash a WWE RUU if you cant find yours in the list.
BTW, It is recommended to take a 1.XX RUU from that site, because 2.XX RUU's are Froyo RUU's, and, you will not be able to root them if you require it in the future (As of now).
As for a Nandroid Restore, if you had taken a Nandroid backup of the Stock ROM after Root, yes, you can restore it back and get back your Stock ROM from a Custom ROM. If not, then flashing the RUU is the only way.

i've not flashed again my buzz but i want to do it and so i've not unrooted it.
i've the stock rom upgraded to 2.22.405.1, so i ask to me if i do a nandroid now before flash another rom, then i can do a restore of it... sorry but firt of all i'm italian an i don't speak a read english very well...
thanx for your patience
Yes, you can restore your phone to the state it was right before you did the nandroid back-up.
Make sure you have enough space on your SD card before doing the back-up, say 500MB or more. And save that back-up to your PC for safe-keeping, it's in the "Clockworkmod" Folder on your SD card.
If your stock ROM (that you are restoring) is a version earlier than your custom ROM, do you need a goldcard?
If you are restoring to an earlier stock ROM to the stcok ROM on your phone, do you need a goldcard?

If I understand you correctly, you are having official 2.22.405 at this moment? If so, you will not be able to take a Nandroid Backup, or, install a Custom ROM, or, go back to a previous ROM, because, all of the above requires root, and, the official 2.XX ROM's cant be rooted as yet. You have lost root when you upgraded to 2.22.405.

No to both. Goldcard is just required for debranding purposes. (If you have taken backups of old ROM's)
I have an htc wildfire from vodafone with android 2.1 but I want to change the voda rom and install the htc official rom. I don't want to unlock I only want to change the vodafone rom with these ugly icons and applications and install the htc rom. So how I make this? I need to root? Only installing the official RUU.exe?

No, you will need a Goldcard to debrand your Wildfire. Just search the forums, there are guides on the same.

If you are on official 2.2.1, there is nothing you can do at all, except wait, till a solution arrives.

Thank you for your fast reply
and you right...i have No knowledge about this kind of stuff and i have read everything you gave me already...
but still there is questions...those guides doesn't tell you what do you need to do and what not to do from the very first step
unlike HTC HD2 tutorials for rom flashing that have everything...
so if you have some more guides that you can recommend for me...ill be glad
and for my second question: "Do i need to unlock my phone to flash a new ROM?"
what do you mean by "Depends"?
anyone can make one??
Could you please explain the exact reason why?
Not that I can cook such rom but it will provide the cooks info they"ll need.
Maybe there is already your kind of rom if it's only to do for language or such.

because of the recent HTC update
this new firmware may contain bug fixes
i note the custom rom available now are using the older firmware
OK
I suspect it's just a little matter of time when the cooks will implement those bug fixes.
Hopefully for you they will, my HD7 is running fine on the DFT 7720 ROM
Htc October firmware update addresses battery life problems .

u can only do it if a custom rom baseon the above mentioned firmware is available.
But the problem is it requires the BOOTLOADER 5.0 to be supported under cotulla DFT.
Basically to cut it short , it requires bootloader 5.0 to be jailbroken.
The problem is u can do it
Flash a nodo rom with spl supported under dft.
jailbreak
Flash custom rom
then update to the HTC firmware 5.0 update
But the problem is the custom rom needs to be updatable in zune
most custom rom aren't except for xbmod with a custom cab package .

i tried each and every method. no matter how, i still cant downgrade my SPL below 5.
for your info. you can no longer flash back any other official ROM from 7004 till 7720. none of the custom ROM working as well.
i tried flash only Radio also its still can not. use cab sender also can not. none of the published method works. restore back to 7392 also wont work.
