I need to restore my Polaris to the Default ROM that comes with it. The pin that holds the micro SD card in place is broken and I need to return the phone for service. I had the German ROM on the phone.
Does anyone know how I can restore the fone to Factory settings and ROM?

HI!
I made a back up of rom like it was written here:
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=370
now I want to restore everyting... but I failed to do..=((
I copy my rom.nb1 to SD card via ntrw.exe, insert card in ppc, put it n bootloader mode - and nothing happens =((
is it possible to get radio_.nbf, nk.nbf and ms_.nbf from that backup put it them to pug's rom (I mean overwrite them) and start that upgrade tool?
or is there any other way to restore that back up??
I need it because it's my original firmware - it's different from O2 version (ext. rom is completly different and spash screen is diferent and some other things too..)..
I managed to get ext_rom out of there... but still have problems with other...
does anybody know what would happens if I try to update with corrupted rom? would I be able to return to bootloader and flash another rom?
or it's dangerous to try?
I recently upgraded to WM6.1 with Bepe 0.56 ROM. Is it possible to return to the default ROM if I perform a hardreset? Holding both the IE and NAV key while resetting should do the trick right?
I'm sorry, the answer is no.
A hardreset cleans all custom settings, programs and all the stuff which happens to a Windows Mobile device while you use it.
It resets the installed ROM - in your case bepes - to factory defaults. You replaced the original ROM by flashing bepes ROM, if you want the original back, you have to flash it first.
I forgot to add: if you dont have a backup of your original ROM (what I guess by your question) and cant find an original ROM (yet)... keep waiting or good luck searching...
Right, that was my assumption. But if I find the default ROM I can just flash it back right? The HARD-SPL won't prohibit that?
No, if jou flashed an non default rom, you can flash a shiped rom...
Links to all available Roms, as well as hard-spl and original spl can be found here. If you can find the original rom you want and flash it then you can also return to the original spl.

Hello,
I've got a new Xperia including a two year guarantee. So I'am able to exchange my mobile phone in case of some unexpected problems [Windows-Updates are as well possible] But I want to give new roms a try because they partly seem to be really beautiful. Is there the possibility to backup my original rom [I already read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462926] and restoring it without any changes? When flashing a new rom I have to "install" HardSPL - Is it as well possible to restore the original bootloader?
I would be pleased about useful answers - Thanks a lot
Kind Regards

Yes, it's possible to restore the stock ROM and stock_spl in case of guarantee. It's not necessarily required to backup your original ROM. You can download and flash an original ROM.
yes totally possible!
look at the Roms sub Forum @ the stickys. Probably you will find your providers stock rom there, so you dont need to back up your rom manually. (if you do it manually, make sure you do it after a hard reset with no programs and infos from you on it).
But note: If you USB Jack gets faulty or you destroy your phone in any other way you'll not be able to restore or flash anything.
Thanks
Yesterday I flashes some Roms and there's nothin else for it to hope for no problems/crashes In a pinch I'll try to restore everything

In case i need to revert to an original rom, do i need to have the original bootloader, or will hard spl be enough?

If you want to go back to stock, the easiest thing you can do is first flash the original ROM and then flash back the original SPL.
You could also use sony ericsson update service to get the original ROM back, to then flash SPL back to normal.
I didn't see this asked in the forums, but just a general question:
If I flash an official ROM which removes HardSPL, can I just reload HardSPL all over again? There are all these warnings about losing HardSPL forever with official ROMs, but can't we just go back and forth 'safely'? Thanks.

Yes you can add, remove whenever you want!
Just did this yesterday - works fine.
That's what I thought.. thanks guys.
Most of the post that have warnings also state that as long as you don't flash a stock ROM from the SD Card you can go back to the HSPL without any trouble. So, I would use the RUU application, just to be on the safe side.
flashing an official rom over usb won't remove hspl anyway. only flashing stock over sdcard affects the spl.
Does this mean that you can get the phone to be the original Tmobile rom easily? If so can someone tell me how? I installed HSPL as well as a new radio and rom, and I'd like to backtrack to the original retail version of the phone. Really looking for help with this, and don't want to brick my phone..Anyone? Thanks a bunch.
Yes, flashing from SD card would remove HardSPL, that was kinda the point of the thread. If I flashed my HD2 back to stock from the SD card, can I just reinstall HardSPL. I don't see why not, if I could already do it out the box. I think the warnings mean if flashing goes bad, HardSPL is overwritten, so that safeguard is no longer in place.
nickymonster, just download and flash an official TMOUS rom from the sd card. The main TMO HD2 ROM forum has everything you need in the stickies.

want to go back to stock SPL, use the HSPL app, and select the "stock" SPL. If you flash a stock ROM from your SD card, you will replace your HSPL with the stock one, but YOU WILL NOT be able to go back to HSPL. Instead, use the app, and flash a stock with RUU via usb...back to stock.

That's as clear as I've seen yet, thanks. Does strike me odd, though. Wonder what it does to block hardspl from resintalling?
does the hard spl program (HSPL2_1024_RUN.exe) have the stock spl in it for restore? i need to restore it because i need to return my phone. any help is appreciated.

thats just plain not true, im afraid. Just re run the hspl1024 app and resintall hspl.
Quick one:
I've got the WWE HD2, sending it to HTC repair tomorrow so I need to flash it back to all stock firmware. What exactly do I need to do ? I'm asking cause I've heard of some bricked devices cause by restoring to stock the wrong way and wanted to be sure.
Do I need to flash back first the SPL from HSPL or the ROM to 1.66 I've had ?
flash 1.66 rom, then run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000.
Where can I find one to download ? the ROM that is
leo official roms thread in rom development section (it will be on page 1,2 or 3, or use the stickies sticky at the top of the list), first post, first link, 1,66 folder.
Ok cool, but which one should I get ? what are the differences ?
just pick a stock rom that has been released in your region. Take the .nbh, rename it to LEOIMG.nbh and drop it on the root of your storage card.
Put the phone into bootloader, and it will flash the stock ROM and relock the phone, all in one step.
I've downloaded the most popular ROM there and executed it, I didn't move any files to my SD. So now I've got the stock ROM loading but the it's not with the original SPL yet right ? I need to flash that back too ?

thats what the red bit is for
Sorry I'm such a noob but the disclaimer says :
5) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
So I need to put this file on my device first and then use the HSPL2 utility ?
no..thats only for HSPL.
hspl2 can install SPL's as well.
so, you've got your stock rom and only need your stock spl...
do, what samsamuel says!

Thank you, just wanted to be sure I didn't brick anything.
