Flashing Back to Stock ROM - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

can anyone give me a step by step on how to flash my ROM back to STOCK?

if you want it for warranty reasons then you will need to flash the SPL also to stock. you can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.

Remember you will also need to go back to stock spl if for warranty purposes.

nevermind what i said there, for sum reason it works again now

I've kinda got thesame question. I flashed a stock rom (latest EU rom from HTC site), then stock SPL (1.14) and then the stock rom again. Is this enough to be able to claim warranty without HTC finding out about custom roms/boatloaders?
Thanks

That depends. What was your original rom and spl? Are you entitled (via location) to use the new EU rom, eg if you live in America then this may not be acceptable to HTC.
When you boot up the new rom, are the screen colours ok as this will tell you if you have the right spl for your rom? If you have the latest EU rom, I doubt that 1.14 spl would be the right one, but it could be I guess. With the stock rom, you should also get the stock radio. So provided you have the stock rom available to your area, with the correct matching spl and the radio, there is no way to tell of your exploits

Thanks for your reply
The problem is that the screen of my device won't turn on anymore (Device powers on, I can connect with activesync, digitizer works fine) so i have no way of checking if I have the right SPL or not...
I also have no idea what my stock rom/spl/radio version was.. I live in the Netherlands, and through the official HTC site i flashed the latest rom, which included a radio (a radio version was part of the filename). What I'm trying to find out is:
Could 1.14 have been my stock SPL, or was that version never used on any Dutch Blackstone?
If the spl doesn't match the rom (wrong colours) that isn't much of a problem; I can tell them I tried to update my rom because I thought maybe my screen would work again after I installed the latest ROM... But if I have a SPL that was never even used I don't think they will buy that

According to the wiki there are 2 Dutch roms - one would require a 1.14.0000 spl and the other a 1.54.0000 spl. So I guess either of those would do.
When you flashed the rom from the website, where you still using hspl or uspl? Depending on the rom you flashed you will need to flash the matching spl. Do you have the full notation/naming of the rom you flashed. This should give an indication of which spl you will need.

As much as I appreciate ClydeB1 for assisting you, I fail to see a reason for this thread. A thread already exists for flashing advice, i.e. the dummies guide. Also the HardSPL thread exists and has advice on how to flash back to stock. So depending on your query post in either of these.
The initial query and reason this thread was created has been answered, so no need for this thread to remain open. Thread closed

Trying not to void Warranty

I gotta return my touch hd for repair (Wifi and camera are not working). I do not want any surprises when it comes to the warranty, so could someone please tell me what spl should be on my device if I have flashed the latest official rom from HTC. I currently have 1.54 that I manually added when I flashed the 1.56+ roms from this site. Can HTC tell that I manually put it on my touch hd versus their software flashing utility? Thanks

As long as you have official HTC rom on device (no matter when released) and don't have HSPL or cooked rom, you are fine to return device and not void warranty

I am facing the same problem also, the thing is after the spl, for some rom the start up screen will looked lees color, or funny.
I there any way to revert to the original spl?

yes sounds like you need to revert to stock spl 1.14.0000

At the bottom of the thread is a section on how to revert to stock SPL.

reconstructed at&t tilt 2 stock shipped rom for warranty return or cooking

i have reconstructed the stock at&t tilt 2 stock rom - including 0.87 spl, 4.48 radio, splash screen, and 21849 os
this is created in old rom kitchen and can be used for cooking
the main reason i did this is to offer at&t users the factory rom for warranty return reasons.
the rom can be found here: http://mobilitydigest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2113

for those who need this here you go

Great, thanks for this.. do you have just the 4.48 Radio (NBH or EXE)? Thanks

That would be very much appreciated Herg.

I'm already HardSPL (security) unlocked as well as SIM unlocked. I assume if I load this I will remain SIM unlocked, but my SPL will be security locked again?
Thanks!

Thanks!!!!
Awesome job, Thanks so much. I usually don't flash a new device untill I have the stock ROM on hand but I couldn't wait. I knew someone would get this done for us.

if you secruity and hard spl unlocked your device than both will still be unlocked after you flash this rom as well

So does this also carry over the proper keyboard as well? So that if I flash this ROM, it's basically like it's the exact same as if I had just bought a brand new Tilt2?

this rom has everything in it that the stock rom that came on the device.
i didn't modify nothing, all i did was take the stock spl, stock radio, stock splash screen, and stock os and package it up
i didn't remove or add anything into it other than what came stock on the tilt 2

Thanks for all your hardwork.
If I restored to this ROM and then want to use a custom ROM later would I have to do the whole hardSPL thing again?

Great work Herg! This is exactly what many of us needed.

i needed it as well and since the actual rom wasn't released something needed to be done.....da_g gave some of the important files like radio, and spl so lets not forget him cause this was a joint effort to build

That's actually one of the open questions on some of the other threads. Someone had to flash his back for a warranty return and reported that the SPL did not change back to 0.87 as expected. I've got an open request/PM with cmonex as they were going to try and post a properly signed 0.87 SPL only for warranty restoration but it looks as if they haven't gotten around to it yet...
BUT to answer the question, I believe that once you restore the SPL to a warranty version (be it 0.84 or 0.87) I think you do have to run HardSPL again if you want to put cooked ROMs on the phone.
herg, da_G, or others -- do you know if there was a specific way to restore the SPL using this image since it's packed in? I thought I remember someone saying that they tried the following sequence on an older phone (not sure if it would work on the Tilt2 since it does involve going to a previous stock SPL):
1. Flash the warranty ROM to the phone (i.e. the one herg posted)
2. Flash one of the other warranty SPLs (maybe 0.84?)
3. Flash the same ROM in #1 one more time (then the SPL should be correct)
Again, as I mentioned, I am not sure if it will work since after step #2, technically you would be off of the HardSPL and I am not sure if you would be able to flash again in step #3 since the ROM is not an official ATT signed one.

even though this is a reconstructed stock rom......it is treated like a cooked rom
the only difference is this contains all the pieces to create it (spl, radio, splash, and os)

So this means that the 3 step process I just posted above probably won't work, since after step #2 you would not be able to reflash the ROM since it is technically a cooked one as well.

Herg, Been following your work here and on Mobility Digest, I've been waiting for a stock rom before I flash my T2. Have you had any luck on the 4.48.25.20 radio (exe or nbh) yet. I'd like to try one of the other radios but want the stock one too.

Yeah, the SPL needs to be signed in order to be flashable. Either signed with the olinex cert to flash against the HSPL, or signed with the HTC cert to flash against the stock SPL.
I could upload the full .nbh of the test ROM, it would be signed with the HTC certs and may be accepted by the stock SPL (but it might be signed with a seperate test cert, too)
Wish I had gotten the stock ROM by now, but it's proving to be elusive

I want to return my phone to ATT not for the warranty reasons but because i am getting a better deal at some other retailer. so can i use this rom for the same purpose ?

Stock Tilt 2 SPL

I can't seem to find which SPL comes with the tilt 2. I semi-bricked my phone and I need to flash the stock one back before going to ATT. Right now I flashed back the .87 SPL. Can anyone help?

It doesn't really matter. All Stock SPLs are the same as far as manufacturers are concerned, so long as it doesn't say OliNex I don't think anyone will check.
You could always flash the Shipped Exe from your supplier over the current .87 stock SPL.
Any more problems, please ask in the Hard SPL or ROM flashing thread.

Downgrade SPL and to Stock to return to Orange

Hi, I'm due to return my Touch HD back to Orange for a swap for a replacement handset, but I would like to make sure I return it back with the original Stock ROM and SPL.
If I switch on my phone with the vol key pressed, it shows that I have:
SPL-1.56.OliNex
And I am currently using the latest MaryOne ROM.
I have downloaded: RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.14.405.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship which I believe was the original Stock ROM for my phone. It appears that this ROM is the older 1.14 version.
Before flashing my device with this ROM, do I need to downgrade my SPL first? Or is there a way to make the phone use the Stock SPL? (The reason I ask this is because I remember reading the "dummies guide" and it said that in order to use the newer 1.56+ ROM's I had to upgrade the SPL, so my guess is I may need to downgrade now to install a 1.14 ROM?)
Could anyone clarify for me?
Thanks,
WizzKidd

You are correct, if you are using a rom based on 1.14 you need to match the SPL or you'll get screen issues etc. You can either use HSPL 1.14 or return stock 1.14 SPL. All info can be found in this thread including how to return to stock rom & SPL (bottom of first post - section called 'How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!')

Bell HD7 Thinks it's Telstra?

I have a Bell Mobility HD7 but it's stuck thinking it's a Telstra HD7 T9296 rather than a Bell HD7 T9295...
Because of this, I believe, I haven't received an update from Bell for the "disappearing keyboard" thing.
Any idea how I can make it a "fully bell" rom? Do I need to do the "GoldCard" method?

sounds like you are running a custom rom. Is the spl an hspl or original spl (the tricolor screen seen when booting with vol-and power at the same time)? It should say the SPL v1.x.x or whatever version of it is the ospl, meaning the rom is stock and can only be flashed with another stock (i.e. Signed) rom, although for this you shouldn't need gold card, any rom updater should be able to flash provided it is a signed rom you try to flash. You will need to find the rom that came with your device originally, and the rom update package, should be easily available here though. If your SPL screen says HSPL Cortulla then you have a custom spl and can flash any rom you like if it is compatible, i.e. custom roms. That is as much as i can help you there, all the info is in the q&a stickies
Good luck with the hd7, i found it a pain in my butt..lol
(just stay away from the schudiag.img utility!)

Yeah, it's actually a legitimate signed ROM. If I try to flash a BellMo RUU it fails. One of Ansar's ROMs changed my device id and whatnot. So strange.

For some reason, some ROMs flash over others better..when I half-bricked my HD7 into a USB host bootloop, the only ROM that would take it out was an O2 UK signed ROM, and the phone is TMOBUS all the way..once I got 02 to work, then it seemed the ROMs that were failing previously suddenly worked..strange, I didn't investigate to determine a cause or way of deciding which one goes on top of which- I just flashed with trial and error since my phone was already half-bricked and useless already
By the way did you try to install a HSPL via the DFT XSPL installer? I would try and see if it would install the HSPL then try to flash another signed (or custom) ROM on top, that should fix the problem..
