I have an unbranded HTC HD7, official unbranded. But I already updated post NoDo, 7392. Due to this, I can't jailbreak my phone using chevron wp7.
These are my questions:
1. What official rom should I flash to make my hd7 like it was on pre-NoDo?
2. In any case I feel I didn't like the flash. Could I always revert back?
( In relation to Sony Ericsson, when I didn't like the cooked rom I used, I always revert it back using SEUS. Somehow, can I do this on htc? I know htc has no update service of some sort. )
Thanks
try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864475
or any original HTC rom.
Thanks!
uhm in case I don't like it, how do I get back to the original one? I mean, how would I know if the one I got even if it is original rom, would be the same as my current rom?
Thanks!

I'm actually curious about this as well.
I know there are some modified ROMs in the dev section, but aren't they all two-part installs (with an expected error on the first)?
Basically at this point, since we don't have HSPL, is any ROM that flashes (in one flash) without error guaranteed to be official? Is there another verification method?

Yeah, I just need to unlock my device to have chevron wp7 run on mine. I wanted to sideload eveyrthing since I can't buy anything ffrom the wp7 marketplace.

Just a couple of quick questions, have searched but couldn't find an answer.
Firstly, have been having a few problems with a lot of the custom ROMs I've been using recently, they usually work well for a while, then start going wrong. I've heard you're meant to flash a stock ROM in between each custom one, was wondering if that's true, as I've never seen it written anywhere. I flash using USPL if it matters. Currently using Dutty's Leo R5, which has also just started going wrong for me.
Also out of interest, how would I go about flashing a stock ROM? Same process as normal? And where would I be able to get the latest one from?
Cheers for any help.

I've never once flashed back to a stock rom in-between custom roms (and I've tried a few) .
But I have also heard that it works for some people having issues with flashing. If you are using uspl, then your stock spl is still intact and you should just be able to flash back to a stock rom (AFAIK in any case - sorry you can see I use hspl)
You can find many of the shipped roms (stock) here
Depending on the rom you choose and your current spl you may get the blue/green screen after the flash, but that would only be due to a rom/spl mismatch.
Thanks for the help, gonna flash a stable ROM for the next few days I think. Just one other thing I've been thinking of, I've got SPL 1.54 showing up in bootloader mode. You know if that's still the one you're supposed to use? Not sure if it should be 1.56?

Is it still 1.54.0000? This is actually an updated stock spl which you loaded when using uspl, so you should be able to just flash one of the later version stock roms. There is no need to downgrade your spl to your original (unless of course you need to return your phone for service)
1.56 is only as a result of using hspl and AFAIK there is no stock 1.56 version.

Ah that's alright then, yeah it is still 1.54.0000. I'd just seen something about SPL 1.56 mentioned, so I wondered if there was a newer version of that stock spl. I'll find another ROM to flash for now, seems like I've been doing everything right. Thanks again for your help.

Flashing back to stock ROM worked for me, my spl has bee upgraded since i started flashing (first one was Dutty 3.9XT). This solved many of my problems encountered flashing the latest Win 6.5 + Manila 2.5 ROMS.

What stock ROM have you been using? I've only been having problems with 6.5 roms, 3.9xt was the only one I've used so far that's worked flawlessly.

Fortunatly we are dealing with a form of Windows and as in any windows there is not so much difference. This means that it is silly to think that the same windows OS u installed is running as well or the same as to when u first installed it. We have to MAINTAIN it....
Think of ur phone rom as if it were a windows version on a regular PC. What happens after a few weeks is that it gets cluttered with unnused registry keys (even from installing and uninstalling apps), cache files, temp files and all other junk that gets installed by default. This means that u as a user have to clean it once in a while to get get rid of all this stuff that is going to make ur windows and thus ur phone slow after a while. Fortunatly there is help for us to do so. I use Pocket Mechanic and SKTools for this reason. Another thing is that u can look at the windows startup folder to see what is started. The less it is starting the faster and snappier ur phone will be..
I think it is also silly to think that u have to reflash a new rom every other day. I only flash a new rom if i see some major upgrades in the new one.
I hope this helps some...

Hallos ClydeB1,
If u enjoy flashing 4 roms a day to see if one or other rom will run better go right ahead, that seem to be a hobby in itself for some people. If thats is doing any good to you or ur HD ? Doubtfull but who am i to judge...
I just said that things don't have to go bad after a period of time becouse it doesn't have to be that way, u are the boss and not ur windows OS.

I'm not too worried about undoing the rooting (unless there's an easy way) but how to I get back to Android 2.1 like I had when I first got the phone? Can I just install the stock ROM and where do I find it?
Thanks

Why would you want an unlocked bootloader with the OTA stock ROM? There is no way to relock the bootloader and regain your warranty.
CM is Android 2.1, just a better, faster version.
If you are concerned about OTA updates, the features are generally included in Cyanogen's ROM immediately upon release, but usually far before any OTA release.
No big reason why I want to right now but I like knowing there's a way to get back to stock in case something goes horribly wrong and I mess something up (and for the same reasons some of us reformat our computers often). I don't even notice a huge difference (speed and battery) running CM. I haven't installed many apps or themes though.

That's different than the stock rom, right? Is it possible to be unlocked and run the default rom that comes with the phone? Or is that combination not a possibility?
Sure you can do that, but I guess I just don't understand why...
You can always go back to stock everything except your bootloader will remain unlocked (unless someone finds a workaround or hack)
Anything you can screw up (except a bad radio flash) can be fixed by having an up to date Nandroid backup...
Just do what I do and make sure to Nandroid every other day or so. (Or before every time you change anything in the system/framework/boot/kernel etc.)
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619801
i think you can get the stock rom from here if you didnt do a nandroid backup
If i were going to sell the nexus one some time in the future, it would be good to know where the stock rom can be found. Some people don't want to be flashing ROMs all the time, and would prefer OTA updates. Once the phone is over a year old, the unlocked bootloader will be meaningless.
Simple, in the android development section at the top of the list as a sticky, [ROM] 22/Mar ERD79 -> EPE76 - Stock Nexus One images / zip / online kitchen / rooted, or heres the link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619801, it gives you the stock rom. happy flashing

New RUU released on shipped ROMs.
THIS IS NOT FROYO! (Feel free to flash, can easily be rooted using unrevoked 3)
This is especially helpful for those, who get the Error 140 while trying to remove the Branding of their Wildfire. Who has Version 1.19 installed can now debrand using the GoldCard and this RUU. Mostly this error came for T-Mobile and 1&1 Devices.

No, this is usually not correct. Many providers modify the stock operating system of their handsets, and commonly remove features and/or add bloatware. I have this handset pay monthly on T Mobile UK, and the bootscreen is branded, alongwith a "TopApps" program that runs on startup.
I recommend this ROM anyway as it is noticably faster.
I tried to flash this ROM.
Ich applied the unrEVOked patch before succesfully.
But i cant flash this ROM. Its waiting for the Bootloader, until it says that it has a Connection error.
Im using the 1&1 brandet Wildfire.
worked fine for me on 1&1
maybe you can add that you don't even lose your applications, contacts, sms and settings when you first do a nandroid backup
then flash 1.25 rerun unrevoked and use the advanced restore feature of nandroid - just pick "restore data". voilá!

Yes Installing this rom will debrand your phone . Glad to have mine debranded from 3uk , also my phone seemed to run a lot smoother (dont think that has anything to do with the debranding) when i was using this rom .

How to flash this after unrevoked3
Hello, I have clockworkmod recovery and root from unrevoked3. I would like to install this ROM - as the only custom ROM seems unstable to me, but the RUU errors out as the phone never seems to go to recovery (maybe because of custom recovery?) during the update process. Can anyone advise how I should proceed to flash this ROM with the clockworkmod recovery installed?
thanks

Try the new v6, it should work for everyone even those who havent ext partition on sd-card.
And in what way have the rom been unstable for you? Its realy stable for me and all my friend who runs it. And i cant anderstand why it should be unstable for you, as we all have the same hardware.
Instability
Hello,
the instability in fact came from the JIT being enabled. Guess We'll have to wait for a Froyo update before we get something ressembling a stable JIT implementation. Since disabling the JIT - it's good. Thanks for coming back on this

In theory you will already have been rooted meaning you can always remove any items you consider to be bloatware.

Bear in mind, at this time there is no way to go back to the original Rogers firmware if you are unhappy with whatever AT&T firmware you flash. And you may as well use either the Device ID or Android ID app to get your device ID before you flash.
There is now a way to get back to stock Rogers firmware.

No way to go back? I thought after beta 6 of cognition you could flash back?
So even if i do a backup before flashing I cannot go back?
That's correct. ROM installations are not installed or backed up with backup software. There needs to be a ROM available of your shipped base ROM.
Here's an analogy based on a PC: You can backup XP; Then install Windows 7; But you cannot go back to XP from a backup of XP.
If I"m not mistaken, the closest you could come is to root your phone, install ClockworkMod Recovery, and make a Recovery Backup with that. (The PC analogy of this is 'making an image').
You could then restore that, but you would hvae a modified ROM. YOu can unroot that, and that would be the closest you would be to being back to stock.
One thing you want to be sure you do: after creating the backup, you want to copy that to your PC to be sure you don't lose it during any of your other activities.
One caveat: I'm not sure if the CWM supports your phone with your ROM, or if rooting is out for it, etc. You'll have to do a bit of due diligence before going down this path.

The only stock Rogers firmware available at the time I wrote that was a nandroid backup and no one had success using it unless they still had Rogers firmware on their phone. There is now an Odin flashable version linked in this post. People report that they still see an AT&T logo when they boot even after using this to go back to Rogers firmware (I do too on my AT&T phone flashed with it). I don't know if there may be other issues.
yeah all that stuff is ready, and i planned to do cwm, im fine if that will restore to a rogers FW...
then maybe ill stay on the Rogers fw untill either a completely debranded CM6.1 comes, or they build a COG off rogers... Apparently from my due diligence, the rogers fw has much better gps.
Hi all,
I believe I somehow messed up my HTC First. I ordered a new one for a friend and flashed jmz odexed 1.08.502.4. Even though my firmware was 1.15. I don't know if its because of that, but my camera doesnt work atm.
So all I want to do is flash stock radio firmware and software to get completely back to stock. Does anyone already used:
RUU_MYST_UL_Cingular_US_1.08.502.4_Radio_1.19.40.00.09_10.69.40.33IL_release_327090_signed_2.exe?

Ok, with RUU.exe you can restore your phone in 2 ways .... directly from. exe or extracting the rom.zip form the .exe and flash with fastboot, in either of the 2 cases you must install the stockrecovery and block the bootloader again .
your phone stay factory.
