How to EXACTLY undo a wm6 upgrade?

Hi Everybody
My hermes is the following:
Vodafone 1605 ITA WM5
ROM: 2.07.165.1 (02/13/07)
Radio: 1.32.00.00
I don't know If I'm going to tryu the wm6 update, but, before even thinking about it, I want to make sure that I can restore it back to what it was in the beginning, in case anything goes wrong...
How can I save my Rom, radio and everything OR where can I find my exact rom and all the necessary stuff to revert it back?
I noticed a guide for wm5 downgrade, but that wolud probably only bring back wm5 in some form, and not MY wm5 and everything that comes with it...
I hope you understood what I mean
Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance

Happily, it's easy mate.
Download your original rom from the archive so you've got it to reinstall from. (Check your current versions of rom, radio, etc. to make sure it's the right one.)
When you want to downgrade, just plug in your phone and run the downloaded exe. It'll take LOADS longer for the 'old' rom to install than your upgrade to wm6 did. This is mainly because the 'old' (original) rom you download will install spl, ext rom, os, plash 1 + 2 and radio all at once.
Thats the easy way.
You could extract just the bits of the original you need to save time, but there are instructions in threads, wiki and downloads for that so I won't repeat it all here. It's Dutty's Good NBH Tool you'll be using (start your search with that if you want to go down that road).

Thanks for the quick reply
By "archive" do you mean this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
So I guess my rom should be this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298541
It also matches my ROM and Radio version.
There's just one thing I don't understand... I looked at the WM6 guides on mrvanx.org, which show many many steps. Are you saying that I could just grab the latest original HTC exe update and launch it and it would update everything? And still only launch another exe to revert to the old stuff?
Then why do people take the risk and flash all the components separately? Just to use homemade roms?
Thanks

No, it's about the CID (area and carrier-specific idintifier) of your phone.
Your phone'll accept your old rom back because it's from the right country and carrier.
'Cooked' roms aren't the 'right' one for your phone and so you have to alter the phone so it won't care which rom you use. That's what all the messing about before installing wm6 is basically all about - to convince your phone that any CID is fine.
Similarly, I use OrangeUK as my provider and the phone 'wants' a hermes rom from them. Thusly you can't just download and use the latest HTC rom as it's not got the CID code your phone wants. Once you've used the OliPro software you'll be able to use all the roms you like.
The 'archive' is exactly what yopu found there, aye. With downloads coming in zips and rars I shouldn't have called that page the archive, soz.
As to the right rom, I wouldn't like to say, but if it's right country, carrier, radio and rom then you're laughing, download it and tuck it away safe.
Mine for example is the OrangeUK (ORANG001) one. The one with the AKU in bold. So that's been on my laptop since day one of having my hermes.

Ok that wes pretty clear
Let me just see if I got it right.
To go WM6:
- Upgrade CID to an unlocked version
- Either
1. Use HTC official exe upgrade, which updates ROM, ExtROM and Radio
or
2. Update Radio first and then ROM+ExtROM with a custom version
To revert to Vodafone WM5:
It's not assured that my radio can be safely downgraded (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27), so:
- Use Dutty's tool to extract my Vodafone ROM+ExtROM (no Radio) from the exe
- Downgrade SPL (not mandatory)
- Flash Vodafone ROM+ExtROM
Kinda?...

Yep, kinda!
But if you're planning to upgrade to WM6 with the correct VODAFONE release for your device you do not need to CID unlock your device and all that crap!
Sorry, I am not trying to confuse you!
Here an example:
Lets say you have an HTC Hermes from Vodafone UK with WM5 on there!
If Vodafone UK provides you an WM6 upgrade on their site (or if you find it in the 'archive' here in the Wiki then you do not have to CID unlock but you can run the upgrade without doing anything more than downloading the ROM and running it.
After you upgraded with the Vodafone UK WM6 you can 'downgrade' again with the Vodafone UK WM5 without any problems - even here a CID unlock is not necessary! Both ROMs contain the same CID code because of they are from the same provider.
A CID unlock is only necessary if you are planning to flash your device with ROMs which are not from your network provider, as example you want to flash a Hermes ROM from O2 UK to your Vodafone UK device. O2 UK is a different network provider and has a different CID code. Therefore your phone would refuse the upgrade and give you an error message WRONG VENDER ID!
CID unlock will trick your phone and it just does not care anymore about the VENDER ID (CID code) submitted by the ROM you're trying to flash!
The best way for you to play around with that stuff for a while might be to use SOFT_SSPL.exe to temporarely 'CID unlock' your phone. If you think that you really need it permanently CID unlocked because of you're going to flash it a lot then download the Hermes_Unlocker_3a which will do the job for you!
Please keep in mind that you will lose all data in your device when flashing!

Thanks again, and no, you are not confusing me
In fact, the only reason why I skipped that solution is because there's no official WM6 upgrade from Vodafone IT
Actually I like that SOFT_SSPL.exe thingy... Does it mean that my CID is unlocked just for the time of flashing or what?
And... it seems that you talk about CID and SPL like if they were the same thing... what's the difference?
Thx

Yes.
You will have to copy the soft.sspl.exe to your pda and run it from there. Just have your stuff ready for flashing before doing so.
The soft_sspl.exe is not writing anything to your ppc permanently. After flashing it is gone.
Please read the UPGRADING FOR BEGINNERS section in the Wiki carefully, even about bootloaders and all that crap before starting to flash!
TAKEN FROM THE HERMES WIKTIONARY in the Wiki section:
CID
The CID (Carrier ID) of the device is a setting which determines which carrier ROMs should be allowed to run on the device, a table of valid CIDs can be found in the wiki pages. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have 'SuperCID' which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted.
SPL
See Bootloader.
SSPL
SSPL is a modified bootloader (by Des) which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty. See the official thread for more info.

Do be aware that almost everyone ignores SSPL and upgrades their bootloader and SuperCIDs their phone with the OliPro software.
Although I always use SSPL myself, that's only because I keep a 'safety-net' copy of my own provider's most recent official ROM on my storage card. That way if I naff up the upgrade to wm6 and 'brick' my phone, I can easily restore it to out of the box condition without a PC.
(If you were thinking about using SSPL to avoid altering your bootloader - and remember you'd be going against the grain on this one - can I at least recommend you go here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing and set yourself up a HERMIMG.nbh on your microsd card before considering it? You don't want to go from all excited to gutted and no hermes.)

Thanks for this really helpful advice!
I'll try to do some research on this option before doing anything, just to make sure that I know all the options before taking a definite road...
I still need to figure out what are the disadvantages of going HardSPL instead of using SSPL every time and if it's worth to update the radio firmware to the latest version, instead of just keeping my own.

If all radio functions seem good and reliable you could leave the radio upgrade.
On a 'new radio version' thread try to find any references from a user from your own country, region within that country and provider as regards any radio versions. each new one is simply the most recent that a provider somewhere has brought out. the latest version number by no means that any given phone on X provider in X region of X country will be improved. It could easily be worsened.
Another way to do it, and very long-winded, is to flash the latest radio and, if dissatisfied, go backward thorugh the versions till you get it performing satisfactorily.
If you're happy wwith your radio performance don't change it tbh. Just my opinion on that, some people may differ.

HardSPL will be permanently written (hard-coded) to your phone! This can be a problem if you have to mail in your phone for service! You would lose your warranty!
SSPL is just temporary for the moment. It executes from the RAM until the flash job is finished. Afterwards it is gone!
BTW: I made some experiments on my 8525:
It was not very difficult to 'undo' HardSPL! I simply took my original shipped ROM image file (nbh) and flashed it entirely with CustomRUU - afterwards HardSPL was gone.
If I ever get a new device I will use SSPL only. All you have to do, is, to copy it to your SD card and run it when you want to flash your device. That makes it only 1 more step compared to having your phone HardSPLed ...

Mmm, considering both your answers, I might go for SSPL, at least for the first time.
I thought that the official HTC update contained also a new radio version, so there should be no difference between carriers... that's a point that confuses me a bit.
I mean, are there HTC radios as opposed to Vodafone radios and so on?

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).

How do I get the official HTC rom

HI there, I've just been on the HTC website and saw there was a ROM available there which is newer than the one on my device.
However when I tried to download it it asked for my serial number and in response it said that it was not suitable for my device.
Is this because teh phone is orange UK branded?
If so, is there a way to get around this and get hold of the rom?
I heard it would make the TF3D go smoother and not turn my screen off every 5 seconds.
Thanks

even my phone is from HTC and my serial no is also not working, can some one shed light on this?
Thanks

if you want a upgrade....your have to wait for orange to release a rom
you may be waiting a long time
or use a cooked rom....but read up before you try one.

This will get you the official 1.93 rom from htc
you are entitled to the official "Orange" ROM update when it comes out (IF it comes out - orange tend not to release updates)
If you want to update your ROM you can but you WILL loose all your data on the phone (not internal storage) unless you back it up. You will also have to re-install all of you software.
to update to the latest ROM download RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamon d_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe from http://www.duttythroy.net/download-a...ite=2&start=10 (this is the official 1.93 ROM from HTC)
before you flash it you probably need to install hardspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 This is because your phone will be locked to Orange (although as you got it from CPW it might not be)
So in summary:
Backup
Flash Hard SPL
Flash 1.93
restore data
reload programs
Hope this helps

Upgrading possible this way or not?

First of all, I have studied quite some threads about flashing the Diamond in the past days, read the stickies and gone through the pages at modmydiamond.
I now set the following plan, and I would really love to have some confirmation before I break something
If I understand it correctly the procedure is like this:
- flash Hard-SPL signed/unsigned
- optionally update radio ROM
- flash desired operating system ROM.
The following is the case: I have a sim-unlocked (from factory) T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, a DIAM200 with the Dutch 1.37.114.3 ROM, accompanied by the 1.37.0000 SPL. The installed ROM is heavily branded by T-Mobile, and I want to install the non-branded HTC 1.93 Dutch one.
As a preparation I downloaded the signed Hard-SPL 1.30 from this thread, and installed it, and verified it was installed.
Since I wanted to install the non-branded HTC ROM I grabbed RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_1.93.404.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe file from here and tried to install it but no success: it got stuck at 0%. (Doesn't that mean that it won't flash unsigned ROM at signed (S)SPL?) What I want to do now is install the 1.40 Hard-SPL unsigned and attempt to install the HTC ROM again.
Now my question is: can I do this safely without transforming my device into an expensive paperweight? Thanks for reading

Hello
I found a simple way for flashing.
Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423978&page=2

I took the gamble and succeeded. This is how I did it:
- Flashed Hard-SPL 1.40 unsigned using the utility
- Extracted the nbf from the downloaded exe file (Dutch official HTC ROM) using NBHUtil 0.92, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
- Joined the OS & Splash together, leaving out the SPL and Radio ROMS, made sure the CID and Model ID were correct (see that thread)
- Flashed it with the RUU the Dutch ROM came with.
...
- Profit.

If you want only the original HTC rom, you can install it by the original update software provided by HTC.
Simply connect your Diamond through USB / active sync and luch the update utility.
You can find last 1.93 here : http://www.files.to/get/342564/gn2jg25lvr
Good luck

Well in my case the combination of Hard-SPL 1.30 and the official HTC 1.93 updater wouldn't let me update the phone's software: I got stuck at 0%. Further inspection of the nbh file showed me it was aimed at DIAM10000. I am not sure if that made the difference or that the Hard-SPL blocked the flash, can't tell.
btw dominique2222, the file you linked in post #4 seems to be a German (GER) file, not Dutch (NLD)

Installation question for (unsigned?) roms

Hello all,
I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
If I want to perform Hard Rest (In order to return to clean default ROM 1.37) and then upgrade to ROM 1.93 (WWE_1.93).
Do I only have to download "RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe" from rapidshare, backup, charge device, connect cable and active "RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.93.831.1.exe"?
Or do I have to do something else before (i.e. install hard spl...)?
because it is not "signed" rom from HTC site?
Thanks,

You need to use a Hard SPL if you do not have a original HTC Diamond and want to flash a new ROM.
if you have a HTC Diamond (not CID locked, either by region or carrier) then you can flash official ROMs from HTC.
If it is locked, then you need to flash a Hard SPL, either a developers edition (which means you can flash any ROM) or a signed SPL, which means the ROMs you flash must be signed by the Diamond Team here to say it is ok.
Personally i have the Developer edition SPL, so i can Flash any ROM.
Cheers,

I do I know if I have CID locked ROM

Where did you buy ur phone from?
For example i bought mine from Expansys, just as a handset, so it is not Carrier locked. so therefore i can flash offical HTC ROMs.
But to flash a 'custom' ROM, or a T-Mobile ROM for example, i'd have to flash Hard SPL (which i have )

I bought it from private store...

yeh thats a Hard SPL that doesnt require the ROM to be signed, so you can flash any ROM from this site, and any HTC Official ROMs.
Let me know if u need help with anything else
