I am with Telus. I'm having a problem with my phone in that some keys don't work anymore. Before going to the store with it, I want to bring it back to it's original form. I have the ROM for it, and it's still running the 3.27 Radio
Do I have to re-lock the phone? Does anyone have any experience and advice for me?
I was running one of the DCD versions with the 3.27 Radio. Now I want to return it to it's original (or similar) configuration, so I don't get nailed by them knowing I've unlocked it and changed the ROM.

Hi,
For warranty issues i have to send the pocket pc phone in for a replacement, but i have upgraded to T-Mobile 4.01 with the new radio Stack.
I can downgrade the OS to original 3.18 but the radio is not downgrading - can anyone please help and post instructions on downgrading to the original Radio...would greatly appreciate.
thanx
As far as i have read (and I've read several posts) there is no way to go back to a previous RS version.
If it is a hardware fault on the phone and is under warranty and not due to misuse like dropping it or breaking screen etc, I cant see that they would bother checking the radio version, probably just chuck in a box with a bunch of others.
Yeah... I've had to return a couple of them. I've always flashed them back to the old rom, but not the radio stack. I've never had any comments on it from TMObile.
I may have been wrong, I have heard that its possible to downgrade the same way you upgrade. Copy the original RUU files into the windows dir and run them. I hear that this might bring it back to it's original radio.
If you try and it works let us know, this is something that is discussed often but never really answered.
I returned a phone cause i dropped it and cracked the screen. I put the original rom back, but left the radio stack. they never mentioned anything.
But, my current problem could be due to the radio stack, cause the new phone i got often times turns off (soft reset). I don't want to call in a warranty issue until i can either put back the old RS or until t-mo officially releases the new one. So... if you find a way to do it, please, please let us know.
I tried the method ntwebguy mentioned, but with no luck, but i don't remember exactly how it failed... I think it just said a newer version already existed on the phone.
I assume there must be a way to do it for the sake of testing if nothing else, but I have not seen anyone that was able to.

john - it's most likely hardware, i've had 4 different XDA's from Tmobile and they all did the same thing. i'm in the same boat as you with 4.01 and 6.24 installed waiting for the official release to send this one back in.
that being said, i have an idea - too risky for me though
what if you "upgraded" to ATT or O2's radio stack and then "upgraded" back to Tmobile 6.18?
So I'm almost ready to jump ship and upgrade the original rom on my Bell PPC 6800. The question I have, is can I revert this back to the default state if needed. Original Rom/ Boot Loader / Radio / whatever else? Can I make a backup of these from my device prior to flashing?
Thanks

Gotta read brother, nothing comes easy. Check the upgrading thread instead of this one.

Backup is not going to work the way you think, you need to find the virgin rom and radio instead of imaging or something else you may be thinking.
Hello
I noticed a very annoying bug at my phone: sometimes when I end a call the phone function stalls (the icon on the upper bar shows conversation in progress)
The only way to use the phone function again is to soft reset it. Lately I get the same problem but without the icon that shows conversation in progress. During this time all the incoming calls are not prompted. Basically on the caller side my phone "rings" but my phone doesn't even notice the incoming call. This prevents me from receiving very important calls that affect my business.
I cannot upgrade my ROM (1.14.479.3 ) since there is no official version for my region.
Any of you have this problem ? Shall I bring it to service ?
Please tell me your thoughts
SR
seems like a software issue, which region is your phone in? have you tried updating your software through HTC website?
For Romania there is no official version released. I cant upgrade ROM/Radio without losing my warranty.
i had the same problem after installed a hot fix from HTC, even hard reset and reinstall the ICR program the phone just lockup when I made a call. I can talk in that call but the whole phone just won't response to any keys or touch screen. After 2 days playing around with countless hard reset I decided to flash the same ROM from computer and the problem seems gone now.

Sure you can You are currently using a WWE ROM right? You can use USPL or HSPL to flash a newer official WWE ROM. In the event you need to return the phone just flash the original ROM (and SPL) back to your phone and they will never know. The original ROM you are running now is available on the Wiki, and here is a direct link. If you need help flashing ROM's you can read the guide in my signature and post questions in that thread
On a side note- I have had that issue before as well. It does seem like a bug in some software on the ROM as flashing different ROM's seems to make it go away (or reappear )
My phone's screen stopped responding few weeks ago and I brought it to service. They changed its front side with a brand new one (I am not sure if the screen only because I even get better audio quality during calls). I am telling you this just to underline that when I took it back from service the ROM was flashed again (same version though) because the menus used to be in English and now they are in Romanian. So if I am not mistaking my hard resets + services ROM flashing (into the same version though ) didn't fix this issue.
@Digital Outcast:
I am aware that I am able to use a newer ROM. I read the wiki and I know how to do it but if for some reason what I mentioned above (screen completely stopped responding and it was changed) happens while the new ROM is on the phone I will lose my warranty.
Since I opened this issue I changed the sim with a newer one. The old one was 7 years old...
Thank you for your feedback and for letting me know I am not the only phone owner having this annoying bug.
As stated by Tnyynt on another thread
Official updates go by as original ROM, they install without HardSPL if there is an update for your version of the device, so if you have an Official ROM which you have flashed, there's no need to worry for warranty.

Basically, any of the official rom updates for your device available on HTC or wiki can be flashed to your phone without HSPL or USPL and will not void warranty.
I tried with this one but when I insert my serial it says its not available for my region.
http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=2
Still I managed to download it using some serial I found on the web. But when I started the flashing process it says its not meant for my phone and aborted
Is your phone branded? Did you get it new? I ask because it doesn't look like it was a WWE device...
I bought it brand new from an online store. I didn't buy it from a provider like Vodafone or Orange.
One of my colleagues bought it from Vodafone few days ago and he has exactly the same ROM version as I have. None of us is able to download the previously mentioned ROM version from HTC website using the imei.
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.14.479.3_Radio _52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship is the ROM you currently have on your phone. There are no "official" updates for your particular CID.
Your real only current choice if you want to flash a newer HTC ROM would be to use USPL or HSPL and flash another official WWE ROM. You could always flash back the original if you needed to return the phone for warranty purposes. Sorry bud.
Thanks for summing it up for me.
PS: changing the sim with a newer one did not help, in case somone wants to do this.
Hello all,
I am attempting to install the stock T-Mo US ROM onto a T-Mo UK G1. I have been using it for about a year with the dev phone ROM and it works fine on the T-Mo US 3G. Now I've switched to a different phone and I want to sell the G1, but I want to install the stock T-Mo ROM so it will have access to OTA, full market, and carrier customizations.
When I try to flash the RC29 DREAMIMG.nbh it gives me an error, probably because the phone has a different hardware ID (DREA110 for UK vs. DREA100 for US). I have tried installing it from the dev phone bootloader, I have gone back to the stock bootloader, tried using a goldcard, I'm hitting a dead end now.
Any suggestions? It seems there must be some way to bypass the hardware ID check since the dev phone ROM and customized ROMs will work.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. It will load the UK RC7 ROM, so I'm fairly certain it is just the hardware ID that is the limitation.
I finally got it working. If anyone else is trying to do this, use HardSPL and it will work fine.
Hey guys,
I have a few questions about unrooting my HTC Legend, just in case. So I went to the thread "Easiest way to unroot HTC Legend" and it was a straight forward guide. I just have a few questions. The guide gives you a link to 1.03 software version, and 2.03 software version to unroot to, and all you have to do is reboot your phone while holding down the DOWN volume button. If I were to unroot (Just in case for emergencies) I would choose to roll back to 2.03 software. I'm on software 3.15 and was just wondering if this will roll back successfully to the stock ROM for 2.03? Will my stock ROM after unrooting be Android 2.1? Will my phone's radio version change? That I don't want at all. Just wondering because if for emergencies I need to unroot my phone then I need a stock ROM and software number that are out here in Canada, currently my phone has Froyo which isn't out for us yet. I wish I could put up a link but I can't, I was told before I'm not allowed to. But what I explained about the guide is everything you need to know just in case you don't. Thanks for the help guys.
I'm not sure about the firmware given in the guide, but those RUU files usualy contain radio too..It can be extracted from it, but I think that radio from froyo might not work with eclair rom you'd roll to...But as this is just in case, I think you have plenty of time to find out
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Actually the Froyo Rom I got didn't have another radio file in there, it kept the one I had with Eclair, so I'm sure it'll work. But what is a radio file do? I actually forgot to ask that, I always knew that it's needed but I actually don't like it when it gets changed, just because I was told if I flash the wrong radio, my phone will have problems. What happens when you change a radio file?
Anyway, there are versions of radios that do not work with certain ROMs and vice versa...
Radio image is an intermediate between android system and a GSM/CDMA/3G (phone) hardware...it is referred to as a RIL (Radio Interface Layer) it sort of acts like BIOS on PC, just between certain hardware and in your phone's software...
And yes, if you flash a wrong radio, you legend can act up like not being able to make a call or establish data connecttion, no wifi etc...
As Canada doesn't run GSM as far as I know, I'd be very carefull about radio firmware.(most radios here are WWE or Vodafone UK based and I'm not usre if it'll work out there )
You can check the zip files you update if they have radio update in them - easiest way is to remove the radio.img and re-sign them...
I actually used an RUU to root my phone that was WWE, with "Theunlockr.com" and it was used to downgrade. So I think WWE would work. If I use a Nandroid backup and something goes wrong such as wrong radio version, and restore the Nandroid backup, will everything go back to normal? If that's the case then there's not much problem in taking a risk. How do you know if the radio version if right for the mobile carrier though? I'm guessing that's the hard part of updating software? :/
