Need to downgrade from WMIV Black 1.2 to Original DOPOD ROM

I need to downgrade my rom for warrany purposes (the OK key is stuck) But when I load up my Original ROM when my unt goes to the bootloader tingy, it disconnects from activesync and just well.. does noting.
Please help, anyone?

Execute SSPL and then run the RUU.
EDIT: Note that Hard-SPL (which I assume you have installed) will not protect you from failure because the original ROM has its own bootloader that it will put on your device, which is a good thing in terms of warranty, but a bad thing in terms of a power outage.

Original rom
Did you manage to do it and revert back/

look at this guide http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/

Yep, the guide will help you through doing this. It takes a slightly more time consuming approach but you are almost guaranteed not to permenantly brick your device doing it this way, as the last thing to be flashed is the radio, then the SPL.

Ive read the guide when i wanted to upgrade and its very helpful. Did'nt notice there was a segment on downgrading which i believe will be helpful as well. Thanks for your patience and answering, you guys are kind, for pointing me in that direction.

HArd SPL? Uh, no I didn't install that.. should I?

Sorry for asking but what is an SSPL?

It's funny!!! If you don't know (yet) what is SSPL and did not (yet) installed HardSPL, Wow did you install a WM6 cooked ROM?

Yes, I installed a WM VI 2.0. Anyone please tell me what is an SSPL?

@ Deadman
I would suggest you start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293651
Then go to the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
and do a lot more reading before you really do something even more seriously seriously nasty to your phone.
You should have installed Olipro's Hard-SPL before any kind of rom upgrades.
There is also a complete guide on the wiki to unbricking your phone.

Got it, thanks.
Thanks

SPL - Service Providor Lock. Your phone has a SPL in place to prevent you from flashing a ROM from another providor for example. By Flashing Hard-SPL - you permanently remove the SPL check when flashing a ROM thereby allowing you to flash any ROM that is designed for your device.
You can use Soft-SPL which will prevent the check from happening when you flash on a once only basis. If you have a problem during the upgrade - the ONLY way to recover you phone is by flashing the original ROM. Therefore if you don't have the original ROM to hand - Hard-SPL is highly recommended! It allows you to flash another ROM if you have a problem during a flash - thereby recovering your device.

Newbie with 1 big question

Dear All,
first of all....HELLO! I've just registered myself on the forum.
Yesterday I bought the HTC P3600 (Trinity, I think), english version (I suppose it's called wwe). I want to install a cooked ITALIAN ROM, but I read I'm losing the guarantee if I'll do it.
Somebody tell me there is a software that can allow me to re-install the original ROM and avoid the guarantee losing.
Is this right? can someone give me more info?
Thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for my english
Best regards

You can always go back to an original HTC rom, as long as you don't brick your device.
In order to prevent that, you should install a Hard-SPL (board search, iirc its a sticky) which is a replacement bootloader that allows flashing any Rom after bricking.
Have fun playing around with your new P3600.

So if I install first the Hard-SPL I can install a COOKED ITALIAN ROM and after I can go back the original HTC ROM and I'll not lose my guarantee???
If I brick, how can I de-brick the HTC?
Thanks for the quickly reply
Best regards

You should try reading the WIKI and also check www.trinityguides.info

Helloo there.
Your phone is probably cid locked, that means, that u can install only original htc rom-wm5. wm6 doesnt exist for htc trinity.
If u have cid unlocked, u can flash any rom with the RUU (rom update utility) , which is in the package with the rom.
Otherwise i prefer for my cid locked trinity that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
U loose warranty if u send the broken pda on service with the custom rom installed on it. So, before u send it, flash the original rom over and it will be ok.
The problem could be, if the lcd goes bad, than its hard to reinstall the original rom. i know u understand.

Thanks for your answer. I installed the SPL-1.20 and I updated my Radio version (1.46.00.11------is it good?). Now I can install every unofficial ROM and in any case I can go back (how?).
Is it right?
Best regards

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.

thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.

hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.

one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks

Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

Is Hard SPL required to flash a custom ROM to the Dash?

Okay, so I've NEVER flashed a custom ROM to ANY phone, but I want to mess with 6.1 on the Dash. I'm not exactly sure what Hard SPL is, but I keep getting told that if I were to flash anything to my Dash 3G, that I'd need it. However, I never see anything about Hard SPL for the original Dash.
So my questions are: Does the original Dash need any form of Hard SPL, or can I just flash a custom ROM? And after I flash the custom ROM, can I go back to the T-Mobile stock ROM if I wish just by flashing it the way I would any T-Mobile update?
Thanks, everyone. Sorry for all the n00bish questions.

from my knowledge and i've flashed my Dash many times you just need SDA unlock to unlock your phone and then you can flash a ROM and you can revert to the stock ROM at any time, in the main section of this forum read the sticky [the top thread] and you'll find everything you need to know how to flash for a n00b.
:]

If you are still not sure and you don't want to take a risk click here.
Excalibur Update SPL (USPL) 1.11 (Hard-SPL that will save you from having to flash the correct Model & Vendor ID if semi bricked device)
After this you will be able to flash any cooked or official rom.

Thanks, to both of you. I feel a bit more confident about this stuff now. :-D
