I've searched the forum and the wiki, and there's is still a very good chance that the answer to my question is out there, but couldn't find it, so here it is:
I flashed my phone with one of the WM6 ROMS found in this forum and it all works great. Unfortunately, I have some hardware problem, so I want to bring the phone in for repair at the T-mobile shop... They don't really need to turn on the phone to fix the hardware I guess, but nevertheless I'd rather have the original T-mobile Dutch ROM restored before I send it in. Is that at all possible? I've seen a lot of posts referring to websites where you can get a complete original ROM and just have to flash it, but T-mobile only provides updates as far as I can see. Can anyone help me?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My G1 one is faulty, the screen is white with lines going down it, I believe it is a hardware issue and nothing to do with flashing so I want to flash the phone back to its original out of the box software.
I realise I can't see the screen but I think I can flash the update and leave it long enough to be sure it has worked.
But I can't seem to find the uk software anywhere, all the unroot guide are for the rc33 US version can anyone help!!!!
Can anyone guide me to correct page and is it possible to unroot without being able to see the screen(Might be a stupid question)
Hello everybody,
I'm new here, so I don't know if my topic is in the right forum or something. My English isn't also really perfect. Nevertheless I hope you can help me.
Two questions;
1.
I have a HTC HD here which is of a friend of mine. He bought it from someone else (not in a shop).
His HD was acting weird last days. So he went to the shop where the former owner bought this handset. The shop sent the HD to a repaircenter, but the repaircenter returned the phone with the message that they found a non official rom, so they didn't repair it.
I'm not very familiar with customroms from XDA(right name or not?). Apparently the former owner installed the non-official rom. I downloaded and installed an official rom from htc.com.
The phone is having the same problems, but currently with a official rom.
My question is;
Are there still any traces or certain indications that there was a non-official rom installed? So the repaircenter won't detect a non-official rom or any trace of it?
I installed an official rom so are the traces overwrited, or not?
2.
If I navigate to ''System info'' and choose the tab ''Identification'' I see three items, including Imei. This Touch HD displays ''Not supported'' at Imei? That isn't normal, any idea why it displays ''not supported?''
Thank you in advance!!
If you have any questions, please ask them!
You say his phone is acting weird, but what exactly is it doing wrong?
Is it struggling to get connection to the network? Does it keep crashing? Does the picture go all scrambled like an encrypted satellite channel?
I don't know quite why it would say "Not supported" next to the IMEI in device information, but it does sound like something isn't quite right about the handset.
How long has your friend had the handset? I'd be inclined to get in touch with who he/she bought it from and ask what has been done with the handset. The IMEI field should never say "not supported" under any circumstances unless some attempt to modify the IMEI has happened and it's gone wrong.
Do you know if the IMEI was present in this screen with the custom ROM previously flashed on the phone?
@any HSPL users - if a user flashed a stock ROM onto a handset which had a custom SPL on (like Olinex's HSPL), could this cause issues like this? (I'm a USPL user, so wouldn't know).
You are correct. This is the wrong forum. Go with your initial feeling.

Thank you very much for your respond!
-With acting weird i meant that during the start-up of the device the graphic are really bad, weird colours etc.
-And the phone doesn't want to turn in the phonemodus, you can select on but nothing happens. If you try to turn off the flightmodus, also nothing happens.
-Phone reboots by itselfs
-Phonesoftware gets stock (right wordchoise?)
With the custom rom the imei ''not supported'' message was already there..

Please take some time to read the "sticky" topics.
On a first glance, it sounds like there is a mismatch between your USPL/HSPL and the ROM flashed.
Modern 1.56 ROMs require OliNex HSPL/USPL 1.56 to function properly, otherwise you get a lot of screen and graphics issues and phone malfunctions.
In the sticky threads you can find advice how to fix your HSPL (or USPL, which one you prefer to use - HSPL is "hard" and you need to apply it only once and flash hundreds of times afterwards, while USPL is "soft" and it has to ber repeated before every flash)
In the same sticky threads, you can also find full instructions how to reflash your phone to the original state as it was when it came from the factory.
If you do so, nobody at the repair centre will be able to see the phone has ever been changed or mesed with.
It is possible to remove all traces of flashing, just check the "sticky" threads on the top of the threads list and there is a lot of step-by-step advice.

All this means, that phone was simply flashed in wrong sequence - please read HERE and do exactly what is said - if all weird thing are just those you wrote, your phone is fine

Please do some read from sticky, written by Digital Outcast. It will help you. By the way, there is nothing wrong between HSPL and HD IMEI. I've been using HSPL and I have no problem with my IMEI.

You English couldn't be more "perfect"!.........BRAVO
Thank you all for so far. I'm reading the guides where you linked to. Currently I'm in the bootloader of this HD. In the red area I see the following information (in yellow letters):
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.14. OLINEX
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
Can somebody tell me if there is HSPL or USPL version loaded on this phone?
No matters what the answer is, how can you see if this is an orginal SPL or not?
Thank you a lot you are really great with helping me!

I believe you are here:
If you wish to use USPL and it shows your current SPL as:
* Anything but 1.54.0000 - go to step (USPL1) on post 3
That's right, but that guide isn't useful in my case, I think, because I just need to know if there is a HSPL or USPL loaded on the phone. If there is I want to restore the orginal one and don't need a guide which explains how to install a H/U SPL.
So I don't know if there is (or how to see if) a HSPL or USPL is loaded on the phone I ask you guys for help.
I already found some *can't post the link, getting an error* about restoring. But I still need to know if I already have an orginal SPL or not. So please help me
Correct me if I'm wrong. (this is the first time I get in touch with, HSPL, USPL, custom roms etc,)
Agree with posts above. Follow the dummies guide and you should be fine. Post further responses in that thread

I just bought a used GSM factory touch pro 2 from a guy. It's been hacked with some sort of rom from XDA.
- Can someone please point me into the right direction to throw back on the stock wm 6.1 or 6.5 with TouchFlo3d.
I know NOTHING about this stuff as you can tell, but am willing to give it a shot to try and boot the stock rom back onto the phone (if that makes any sense).
If it helps. i already have 'co0kie's Home Tab Editor, which I don't know how to use/don't need. and I have total commander already on my phone.
thanks in advance for any help - I really do appreciate it. I've been wanting one of these phones since they came out last year and I just want the stock ROM ( boring, I know.. but I'm not confident enough with this kind of stuff).
Cheers

Everyone has to start somewhere...
read this post: [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)
it is a sticky so will be at the top of this forum section.
Since you already have a custom rom and therefore hardSPL you just need to follow step 3. Dont worry about flashing a new radio (step 4) unless you want to.
Thanks mrj
I just found out that I have a SEA version of the phone after blindly luckily stumbling upon the sea version of htc's website for the stock ROM. I can't seem to sync the phone and windows mobile for my pc thought. But I will follow those steps you have laid out for me. Thanks again mrj
Cheers
Try a hard reset on your phone and reinstall the activesync software on the PC, otherwise you can try to flash via SD card (I think) I never actuallly tried it.
I always flash thru via sd card since i am on the go most of the time. You would have to go to HTC to get the stock rom for TP2 but if your looking for roms in specific country then have to check here in XDA or HTC. good luck with the search if you need info we can help
hey guys i have been wanting to hspl my device for a while (see signature(pure). but i have seen that it actually working is very tricky... doesnt always work...
a few weeks ago i talked with a developer about this and he said if you could build your own rom that matches your spl and device perfectly than you dont neeed to modify your device's spl....
perfect for me only looking to flash once... to a 6.5.3...
i had no idea how i should go about doing this until i found this project...
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1915902
using a program called yang...
could i extract only the rom part out of acustom rom and not the spl and fuse it with the official htc original ship rom so i do not have to hspl it????
if i have confused anyone i am sorry or am completely off ... again sorry
however if you have even the slightest of an idea of what im trying to do could you please help me .. and possibly anyone else who might need help
ps. i have flashed many roms on other device for my self and others... always stupidly easy and problem free... like lg incite (took me 10minutes to learn how to flash and to do it and boot up) that thing is a tank ... almost impossible to brick... but it always seems like we run into issues with htc devices and their spl's.... ugh
Check your link as it is invalid.
What you are saying makes sense and could possibly work.
You would just have to find your stock ROM, find a kitchen to decompile it, change some external packages and see if it flashes.
Keep an unaltered copy of your stock ROM in case you need to flash back to it.
