well since ull be flashing an original rom uspl will not be needed..
you can actually download the official ROM from HTC website (at least in Asia, not sure about Europe). In fact, from HTC website, they have telco-specific ROM (such as Starhub and Telstra).
I have done it before, downgrading dutty 3.7 ROM to stock/official using the official ROM update package, and it'll revert back my SPL to 1.12 as well. But I was on SPL/USPL, so I'm not sure with your hard SPL, would your base be downgraded as well, but my guess is it should.

thanks
i'm using USPL too
Sorry to sound a dumb ass, but i want to make sure i get this right, cant find much on down grading just upgrading
i've downloaded this file
RUU_BlackStone_Orange_UK_1.19.61.1.rar
and it extracts as
ruu_signed.nbh
can i just use this file from dutties rom
BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe
and put the .nbh file in the same folder?
the only method i know how to flash is as below
1. put phone into bootloader mode
2. run blac_uspl.exe (for 1.56 roms)
3. wait for the cmd prompt to establish a connection
4. run BlackstoneRUUWrapper.exe which had the dutties rom in same folder
based on that info, do i do that same thing to downgrade?
if someone could let me know which steps i need to follow/mis out that would be great thanks

Since you have Dutty's 3.7 on your device at the moment and you are going to restore the stock Orange rom you need to restore the stock SPL that came on your phone before you flash the rom. Otherwise you will be running a newer SPL that is not supported with the older Orange rom and will have distortion and compatibility issues.
To restore your phone to stock you need to:
1. Flash original SPL - most likely 1.14.0000 since the rom versions for Orange are 1.14.xxxx and 1.19.xxxx.
2. Flash original rom.
If you need help restoring the original SPL look in the HSPL thread where it says "How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!"
If you still can't figure it out after that, let me know.
also take note of youre sending it back due to faults they wont checkit they just send you another and replace the motherboard
i knoiw because i asked what they didwenthey gotr the broken ones back
I've got a few questions, hope no one minds answering. If it's a simple case of RTFM then lock the thread and trash.
1. I've rooted and am using the latest JF build but when I go to telnet I can't connect to localhost anymore. Is this normal?
2. I'm running stock SPL and Radio (not too sure what the radio is btw). Is it best I update before flashing anymore roms?
3. I'm wanting to flash to Cyanogen Mod rom, it looks a lot more complex than simply renaming the rom to update.zip then flashing. Is it safe to assume that there is a lot more work to do? (if so a general point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated).
I really appreciate any help.
Thanks
1. I'm not sure as it has been some time since I last used JF's build I'm afriad...
2. Its advisable at the very least to upgrade your radio (look at my signature for a link). You can upgrade your SPL too providing you have flashed the latest radio FIRST and that you are on a PVT motherboard.
Boot into the SPL to find that out (turn off/reboot the mobile, Hold CAMERA+POWER). It should say at the top.
3. To use Cyanogen's ROM its like flashing any other ROM. Just make sure you have the latest Radio FIRST. Also I believe it works fine for non Apps2SD users so no need to partition your SD card etc to use it.
Hope that helps.
Stock SPL? do you mean HARDSpL?

Unless it was updated while rooting it's probably "G1 Original SPL"
Thanks NeoBlade, I'll update the radio and spl tomorrow then probably try and get nandroid running so I've got a backup in case anything goes wrong.
No worries digital, just do your usual pre-checks before flashing the SPL and remember Radio first ^_-
You'll enjoy the new features and performance improvements using the latest cooked ROMs out there. Most of the info is in my signature but you can also flash the new Recovery image too by Cyanogen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558).
Not only can you create a Nandroid backup from there, you can also restore it too all from your mobile ^_^
Not to be an @ssh*le, but if you root your phone don't you already have the HardSPL? If you follow Koush's guide you were told to flash the HardSPL which isn't the stock SPL at all. Care to shed some light on this?
He could have had the engineering SPL, I remember having that briefly myself in the early days. The main thing is that he just wants to run Cyanogen's ROM so as long as he updates the radio and flashes the ROM without issues it should be fine. Unlike some Hero ROMs it doesn't require the latest SPL to create space for the ROM.
Granted though, its often always nice to have the latest stuff ^_-
Ok well if you DECIDE to update to the latest radio and SPL just go to my guide below and go to the second post. That will tell you how to install the radio and spl updates!
Good luck!
Indeed ^_^ And once that's done, perhaps change the title to SOLVED so people know. We shall have to wait for digital to get back to us about it.
This is the guide I used:
http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?page_id=35
Sorry alritewhadeva:
I'm on the HardSPL so I guess I don't need to bother updating that again. I didn't get to the point where it said to update to the newest radio.
Reading a bit further it also says that I can do a backup easily using adb which is already setup. At some point in the process it must have installed the things needed for nandroid backup. I think it was the recovery.img part.
Thanks for the great link Nephron, I used it before to setup adb on my netbook (running win7 on my main machine).
Before I flash the latest radio is it safe to do this *after* updating the spl?
Thanks for all the great help, I really appreciate it.
As a thumb of rule, always flash the radio first before the SPL and the ROM.
Tell us how it goes ^_^ If you've managedto do it, could you please edit the title then to add SOLVED? Good luck.
Soo do you have to flash the radio and SPL everytime you want to flash a rom??? i already have the latest radio, i just want to make sure i dont make a mistake

No you don't. Only once... then kind of keep an eye on the forum to see if better radio or SPL comes along. So far I had to update my radio once. What recovery image do you have (home+power), is it still JF1.43? You should update that to CM 1.4, you get a lot more flexibility with that... read up on it in development forum. All in all, unless you plan to install Hero anytime soon (and I personally don't recommend it, too slow and buggy) you should be good with (in that very order)
1. Flashing newest RADIO (Haykuro has it in the link you provided, only need to do it once and you already did it!)
2. Flashing HardSPL (you already did that too! no need to do it again)
2. Updating your Recovery Image (once more, this only needs to be done once)
After that - flash any rom you feel like at any time you feel like doing it.
Hope that helps, good luck!
I agree with everything borodin1 said. If you're on a 1.5 ROM you really should have the new radio already, but you can always go back and flash it. Afterwards you'll want hard SPL or haykuro's. Haykuro's is what you'll need for most HTC based ROMs (Hero, Rogers). Most people brick when flashing Haykuro's ROM because they don't read. Aslong as you have the new radio and a PVT phone (go to the bootloader - home + camera - and it should say PVT) you will be fine.
Is there really any difference bettwen OliNex v0.70 and 1.4 or what's the newest version?
i meen why would people put new version, if the old one is doing the same thing?
and also, is it bad for my xperia x1 to install a 3 different custom rom for a DAY i am just checking which is the best one, and why when i install a new rom, old "NOW PLAYING" in windows media player stays?
what should i do, to install clean ROM?
Thank you

I'm not aware of an OliNex version other than 0.72 (except for the mfg spl of course), which hasn't been updated for quite some time
so if you found a v1.4 for the X1 post it here
to erase possible leftovers it's been reported to either flash a stock rom before flashing custom one ore using task29 (rom dev)
do some research and decide for yourself whether to try one of them or not
Best, DK
i have not found v1.4 olinex, i have 0.72 i'm sorry typing error, so what is the difference between your 1.0 and mine 0.72? (they have the same purpose)
hmm, okey, but how to install a stock rom? i know how to install a custom rom, just transfer to sdcard and boot with volume button down.. is it same for stock roms?(just rename it to kovsimg.nbh) where to find stock roms? when i install stock rom, will i still have olinex hard spl?

0.72 = v1.0
install stock rom = install custom rom
find stock roms either through reference thread in rom dev or here
hspl will not be removed as long as you don't flash back to stock spl
Best, DK
so, if i understood you, with mine 0.72 i can install stock and custom rom?
and you with 1.0 can install just custom?
and also, if i install stock rom, i install it the same way like custom one? (tranfer kovsimg.nbh to root of memory card and enter bootloader)
and if i install the stock rom like that, can i then install again custom one, i meen will my hard spl will delete or it's on the special memory of the phone? that i can't change with rom installations? thank you

correct
wrong, what I label as v1.0 is exactly the 0.72 that everyone uses
correct, you install stock like custom roms, either using sd or ruu methods
installing stock rom does not overwrite your hspl, so after stock you can flash custom roms right away, roms do not affect the spl as you said
Best,
DK
hey guys,i have a problem with my xperia x1,i was installing costume rom then it was not good so i tried to go back to the official one from sonyericsson,any way i was doing that but before that i made a task 29 to clean the device first then i tried to make a stock spl to install the official one but i found that the task 29 is doing that by it self,so i tried to install the official using the update service but this stupid new update of that program is rely so bad because its telling me that i have the latest update for my device and that all then exit, and i remember before that new update i can reinstall the rom even its telling me that but now i cant,so my phone is out of working now, so please i need ur help, if any one can...... thank you guys

Task 29 does not install stock spl by itself
don't start flashing roms until you've read and fully understood all guides...?!
SE update doesn't work with hard-spl installed - which you still have. task29 doesn't change that.
you need to download your stockrom from here and flash it via usb or microsd.
after that's done, you can decide if you want to keep hard-spl or if you want to restore stock-spl, which is needed to use SEUS. (but since you already have stockrom, why bother?)
how to restore stock-spl is explained in the hard-spl thread, end of post #1. follow the instructions there closely, or you will brick your phone! flashing spl requires a special .exe, don't use the one from task29, a custom-rom or whatever!
Hello, looking to flash my Tilt 2 back to stock to bring it to my local AT&T location due to touch screen failure. Currently have Leo Energy Rom flashed; from what I am reading, it appears I have to use some sort of SPL Locker program flash first then flash a signed AT&T Rom?
Can someone lay out the steps for flashing back to stock so I can get this done as quickly as possible? I have 2.5 hours, thanks
i found some info here, if anyone can chime in with anything missing i'd appreciate it
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL signed by our custom cert). the included one is the 0.79.0000 stock SPL. you also have the option for 0.84.0000 and 0.87.0000, see the attachments.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.79.0000 (or 0.84.0000 or 0.87.0000), not 0.85.OliNex.
About UPDATES:
-the last release (V2.00) added:
1. new SSPL binary, supporting more devices
2. fixes; this version will also tell you in future if you need an update for HardSPL
Thats the process as I understand it. I've never had to do it myself, but I've seen it discussed on here many times. Just flash the stock ROM, flash stock radio and re-lock SPL.
The shipped stock ROM may or may not already have the stock radio attached. Not sure, since the "new" official ATT ROM that was released a couple months ago had the radio included.
The stock radio on my Tilt2 was 4.48.25.20. Get it here if you need it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
If you need the stock ROM, go over to shipped-roms.com to get it.

thanks for the links.. tried to flash an updated rom they released and a diff radio and the relocker wasnt working for some reason. will see how these two work
