Hi, recently flashed my Touch Pro 2, about to sell it and need to have it flashed back to the factory ROM. Does anyone know where I can find the ROM file and then the steps of doing this? Im trying to sell it and want to put it back to stock. Any help is appreciated, and yes I tried a search, sorry if I did miss something.
Thanks
Mike

how about HSPL? do i put the stock on back? and how
Dude there are entire threads dedicated to how to HardSPL and put it back to stock. Additionally, there is an official download from HTC's website that is the factory installed AT&T ROM. Read the very first page of the HardSPL thread. It has links to what you need to return to stock.
Alternatively, why not just sell the phone with a better ROM on it to begin with?
The phone is T-Mobile not AT&T and also some people dont want to buy a phone that has been messed with and can tell the difference in the stock ROM and a custom one.

If you are selling ebay all you need to do is be sure and clearly indicate how the phone is set up. Also, you could advertise on the selling page that you can either leave the phone as is, or flash back to stock ROM - the buyer chooses. That way you may not have to flash back to stock.

I have to return one of my 8525s because of the overheat/screen aligh problem.
Since I have hard SPL can I load an original shipped rom without any problems or do I need to cook one?
Or should I load the new wm6 on this one..
From what I hear they probably won't even notice the radio or bootloader..
thanks..
dont go on what you hear. its always easier to reflash to your favorite rom when you get back your 8525. go on cingular.com and get the oringinal rom, use the original radio, and put back the cid lock. that way your sure that they wont reject your claim.
I got the replacment loaded up already.. I just wasn't sure I could load on of the original roms anymore..

im not sure just loading back the oringinal rom will put back the cid lock. find out how to do that.
Honesty is your best bet
having a CID lock will not in validate your cingular warranty, I have done it three times with out a problem, I tell them that I just want to be able to use my phone worldwide with all my prepaid sims, if your a good customer, ive been with them since 1999 and I am not on contract so they never f-ck with me as I am loyal. Anyway if you are a good customer and explain to them that you are a world traveler they will except it without a problem. If you have doubt call them using their technical support direct line (800) 331-0500 or (800) 304-3044
Ofcourse you will need to reflash with the latest shipped rom ....
OK I got A Mogul/what ever you call it, and a few questions.
I was thinking of flashing my phone. Now When you flash is that completly get rid of wm6,or is it a add on?
If it gets rid of official WM6 rom can the official be backed up or downloaded?
In case somthig goes wrong/or need to take back to sprint for soe reason.
Is there a how to for dummies,I went through alot of information in the last few days, And I dont want to do this blind Is this a good guide[URL="http://www.cellfanatic.com/2008/02/02/how-to-load-the-3166510-rom-to-your-htc-mogul. or any other thoughts

ok, Rom means OS (Operating System) when you flash another Rom,it replaces the previous Rom or OS on the phone completely,its not just an add on.
Yes! you can backup your present Rom,by backing it to a sdcard or miniSD card by 'mtty' method,or download the official carrier's rom from its website and reflash to revert back to original OS.
Cheers!
Looking for version 2.09.651.3, or newer, for mogul
If Im Correct then I could put 2.17.651.0 with a radio version of 1.47.01 on my mogul. When i currently have2.09.651.3, with a radio version of 1.32.00.
AND THAT WOULD BE OFFICIAL WM release, So if I needed to switch back from a sweet 6.1 version than i could.
If This is correct Where can i find this to download, cause ive been searching for about 4 hours all over google.
I just want to be sure before i try this thanks
try the titan forum. its posted there.
So if I reset the phone with CM7 and didn't run a recovery to backup the stock ROM and bloatware, what potential issues could I come across? I don't plan on having to send the phone back to T-mobile (it has been holding together very well so far) and I will probably upgrade in about a year or so.
My question is, does it really matter? And if I had to send the phone in is there somewhere online I could grab the stock software to reset it?
(I searched using several different wordings and found info on other phones but not the Defy)

I have read that post several times, but my question should have been where do I get the stock SBF if I need to revert to stock to, let's say, sell the unit or send it in?

I successfully reverted back to US Stock 2.2.1 after flashing nordic/CEE etc. and installing CM7
by first flashing 2.1 and then upgrading using motorla update.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18325086#post18325086
Did this because there's no 3.4.2-107_JDN-9 sbf, only an leaded 2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4.
Hi All,
I rooted my HTC ONE X and flashed a custom rom. But unfortunately i have forgotten what the original rom is.
As i purchased this from online store, i believe this was shipped from Asia, likely to be hongkong.
I could remember the language included in the stock rom is very limited, and it has English(Malaysia) as one of the option.
May i ask how I can find out which is the actual stock ROM that comes with the phone??
I read on the forum that due to S-off being not available, this phone will not work with stock rom in other region is that right?
Thanks in advance
HK is 708, Malaysia (and Singapore) is 709.
It can be worked out from your CID, but off the top of my head... I can't help further. I leave you in charge of search, and recommend you start with Malaysia.
What about elimination method?
Thanks for the advice. I will Cary on searching. The other thing on my mind is if I am not able to narrow down to one, can I just try a few and eliminate as I go?
I notice in other thread there has been a discussion saying that due to the s-off status, it will not allow us to flash stock rom from different region, but will it show up an error if I have flash the wrong stock rom? Just want to make sure I am not putting too much risk of bricking my phone when trying different stock rom.
Thanks again.

Yeah, that'll be fine, the wrong one will refuse to flash.
Don't forget to lock the phone and restore default recovery (I think) otherwise outright be trying all of them!
Thanks Ben

Hey man, thanks for your help. However i manage to restore the nandroid backup which has my stock rom in it. Was having bootloop when restoring it yesterday. But i just notice i have to fastboot the boot.img first.
Anyways thanks for your help! great to have ppl like you in the forum!
Hey,
I can't seem to find something here that confirms or denies my thoughts, so thought I'd post.
I bought a M9 from eglobal central, but it came with a Chinese ROM. I've been able to fumble through and get it into English, but, certain things aren't quite right on it, so I wanted to swap it to a UK / European ROM. I was wondering how I would go about it? Also, what's the requirements for Carrier IDs etc?
I've seen some other posts out there about swapping ROMs, I'm assuming I'll have to S-OFF, but, after that, do I need root to swap a stock ROM for a stock ROM?
I don't want to go too far with this phone and getting it all setup if I'm going to have to wipe the thing to get it to do what I want it to do....
Thanks,
Berny

You don't need to s-off to flash a new rom. The ROM just needs to match your current firmware, or you can see if there's a firmware update available for the ROM you're currently using.
This thread should get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
Once you have TWRP flashed, you can flash any of the custom ROMs in the Android Development section that match your firmware. You can tell what your firmware is when you are in download mode (It's listed as OS on that page...probably 1.32.xxx.xx...the first set of x's are your SKUid, basically region/carrier, the second set is the version of the 1.32 firmware you're using). All of this should make more sense to you after you read the OP at the above link.
