My hermes has stiff keys that dont react well to pressing also the screen started flickering.
Im still under warranty with Tmobile UK but all the servicing is done by HTC Europe.
Now heres the crunch ive changed the Hard SPL on the device and unlocked it and am running schaps firmware so my question is.
A will any of the above affect my warranty i know they say it will but im interested to know of anyone whos actually tried it.
B if it does is there a solution of returning it to its virgin state.
Thanks for reading

Same question here... The softkeys on the keyboard won't work any longer and I downgraded everything but made it a supercid D:
hey, dont know if its relevant, but i sent my MDA compact II that was superCID'd and my old imate sp3i that was also supercid'd and i didnt get any issues with it. both were repaired under warranty. cant say for definite, just my 2c
I downgraded a bit differently...
Had a screen problem and soft-key failures. I was concerned about the warranty issue as well. Looked at the suggested website for downgrading and thought it might be easier/better to downgrade to the HTC official WM6. It was a breeze and successful.

Hi ,
I´m going to try and update my HTC s620 to WM6 from Tmobile,
but,
Where can i download the HTC ROM iff i would like to revert
meaning going back to wm5?
and is this possible?
cause i allso want to be sure that when htc comes out with there rom update i can update it to theres,
cause i think the tmobile rom has a lot of screens with there logo on?
and i dont like that
I have the WM5 HTC Rom (RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe). It is over 37MB in size, I don't know how I could get it to you.

super!
thanks man!
Do you also know iff it is possible to downgrade from wm6 to wm5, in case i dont like it, or like i mentioned above?
U have to have you phone CID unlocked. then you can go WM5<>WM6 no problem. ( take it back, actually i am not sure. If you going to play only with t-mobile ROM's, then CID unlocking might not be needed).

The phone i have is from HTC it self, not Tmob.
So i know it has no simlock, i guess no cid lock too, but i dont understand cid lock will lock for that one here some where
Did anyone try to update/downgrade it allready?
I did. I have the T-Mobile Dash. It's not CID unlocked.
I downloaded WM6 and found that I couldn't use Missing Sync or send email, so I went online and downloaded the WM5 Rom from another forum (Howard I believe but I might be wrong).
It works just fine, I had no problems going back.
then ill try that, cause htc said it would not work, thanks
I tried using that Rom above but it gave me an error "Invalid Vendor ID" or something like that. I already CID unlocked (thats how I upgraded from ROgers WM 5 to Tmobile WM6). Can anyone tell me what I' doing wrong?
where can I find the tmobile wm5? i upgraded with their wm6 and would like to go back.
I just bought a TyTN (Herm 200) and I am so excited about putting WM6 on it. I have the HK WWE official release just sitting here on my desktop.
But:
HTC is going to make a Europe edition available soon. It might even have Mobile Office 2007 on it from scratch.
I am unsure if I can later update my TyTN to the European version if i put the HK version on now. What kind of problems might I run into?
My device comes with Swedish WM5, I imagine I can update it to WWE, but what about back to swedish later on, if I should want to do that?
If it was you, would you go ahead with the update to HK and if possible switch to European version later?
Yes I would. You can always switch later - you may need to CID unlock later or use a modified RUU, but you WILL be able to change later.
.
well, I am a bit hesitant to CID unlock my device since it is brand new and still under warranty. thanks for the heads up.
Will I even be able to put the HK WWE on my device without CID unlocking it?
Actually, you will probably not have to CID unlock the device at all. Oli built a custom RUU that bypasses the CID check without CID unlocking. I was juct throwing that in as a disclaimer since I have not tried it. I am SURE that it works though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298737&highlight=custom+ruu
I can't stress this enough - put olipro 2.10 on it - this is reversible to the best of my knowledge (see vanx's guide in my sig) and this means that it doesn't need CID unlocking (thr RUU_Wrapper is not the bit that does the CID checking)
In any case, I don't very much whether or not, in the case of a warranty claim, anyone would spot the CID unlock or the SPL update (but still don't take my word for it
I've upgraded someone else's phone for them and I put olipro on which was a good job as it got interupted by his daughter pulling the cable out and it saved it from being a brick...
HTH,
Smiffy.
BTW, the cooked ROMs are so much better than the official dopod ROM - my preference is black satin or sleuth's but they're all better than the official one
OK thanks! Great info!
i had to warranty my at&t 8525 and i would like to know if anyone can point me in the direction of the official bootloader and rom and any other necessary stuff i know i could search but my search for the bootloader (spl) returned nothing help will be greatly appreciated and i only have like 2 days to mail this back or theyll charge me
Look in 2 places; the wiki, and especially mrvanx guides (www.mrvanx.org)
Good luck.

i had to take my hermes in for repairs (screen wouldn't work) and they said that i had a faulty screen due to flashing illegal roms. and that i shouldn't restore to my original spl etc because it will mess up the phones motherboard. i had to pay in $320, just for a new screen. and they put back the original HTC wm6 rom.
i think this will help

hi guys, can some please help me on this. im a bit stock. i am on tmobile network and have a DHD and i would like to return to stock. i have gone to the HTC Desire HD files but i dont know which one to use for me to return back to stock. can anyone tell me which one it is or post a link for me please as i dont want to flash the wrong one. I really need it as i need to send it back for repair. I really need it asap. Also i have 1 problem, my volume up button is stuck and when i turn my phone on, it vibrates 3 times and the orange light just flashes. is there a way to sort this out?
Since you want to send it to repair, ask them to repair the "stuck" volume button problem.
here is the link to go back to stock.

Here is also a little shorter version from jkoljo's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=857537):
"To go back to S-ON:
•Flash stock ROM (RUU)
•Temproot using Visionary
•Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)
•Enjoy your factory-state phone"
And here is the RUU for Telus DHD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932771 (Notice that I'm not sure if this is the recommended version for your phone but this is the only one I could find with a quick search)
@hedayat7
Thanks for exactly copying one of my posts but it isn't the Telus RUU that he needs
@Rawdi
Was your phone branded when you got it?

i dont know if it was. how do i know if it was? please help me. i love my DHD too much for it to turn into a coaster. if i send it back to tmobile, even though i have rooted it, does it void the warranty?
What exactly did you do when you flashed a custom rom (assuming you did)?
@Hawks556 , hehe .. very lazy to type new post, found yours and copy paste.
btw, credit to Hawks556 . hehe

nothing, i have the leedroid rom and what i did was a restart as it was playing up a bit. when i did the restart, the 3 vibrates started and the orange light started to flash. i went in to CWM and did a key test and the volume up button did not respond so i take it is stuck. the way that i go into CWM was i plugged in my charger and the CWM comes up. i really dont know what i can do. also i dont want tmobile to know that i rooted my DHD as i heard it voids the warranty. any ideas on what i can do?
I meant how did you flash it? Did you have to use a goldcard etc? Did your phone have any t-mobile logos anywhere (eg bootanimation) when it was running stock rom? If not then you can do this:
- Flash stock ROM (RUU http://xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/RUU_A....140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.exe)
- Temproot using Visionary
- Use my tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537), do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID, should be T-MOB005 for t-mobile uk)
Above steps were provided by jkoljo
Also messing with the software shouldn't really void the warranty because the defective volume button is solely a physical fault. There could ofcourse be a dispute of somekind, but in the end they have no right to refuse warranty service.
This could though become o problem if you have any software related warranty issues in the future.
My Desire HD overheated last night while charging.. I left my phone under my pillow when the alarm rang...and the alarm was ringing for a few hours(a few alarms) ....and when i woke up, my DHD was very hot...and then i quickly tried to cool it....i later tried to check whether everything was working and found out that everything except my phone ear piece isnt working(the thing which you listen to people talking during a call) i tried flashing a different rom, and it is still the same..
So now i want to return it to stock to send for warranty. I have a question how do i return to stock? I bought my phone without contract from an authorized distributor is Malaysia, Asia. As far as i learn from reading, there are a few stock RUU. I have the WWE RUU 1.32, but there is also an asian one..so which one do i need to get back to stock?
From one of the threads,
HTC WWE Stock RUUs - (World Wide English), for stock devices. These are RUUs to completely flash the device from the PC.
- If you are having trouble with them not connecting to your phone, try my guide here.

I didnt flash a radio before, but i remember S-OFF ing my DHD to get root. Please do help. My warranty has 1 more month period. January 8 my warranty is over. So please do help thanks.
Honestly, just get back to stock rom and perhaps unroot it will do. HTC workers in Malaysia arent that clever to check yr phone is S off or nt. they jz check the existance of superuser apps only

Ok, thanks. Argh, stock rom, as in the WWE RUU? Or do i need to go find the asian one? thats the thing actually bothers me.. Alright thanks alot...my phone decided to kill itself today. Gosh.
So
1. Return to stock ROM
2. Unroot
3. S-ON
That would do right?
Thanks Loads
Here is an extremely detailed guide by Yoshi_523 showing how to restore one's Desire HD back to Stock for warranty purposes. It's for Vodafone Australia but I figure you could do the same with your specific RUU. I wouldn't be too sure about the WWE RUU - if you got your phone unbranded then I guess go with the WWE RUU. Otherwise you might need a more specific branded one.
