Hey guys,
I'm new to all this custimization and flashing phones. I'm thinking of flashing my T-Mobile HTC HD2 but i wanted to know if after i flash my phone with a custom rom, can i go back to the stock rom my phone was shipped with?
yes but not by hard reset, only by flashing the stock rom.

Just look for your stock ROM in the stock ROM thread.
Hello!
I've tried to flash 2.2 on my Epic 4. Everything did like it was supposed to be only problem is I didn't like it. So, I'm doing the restore from my previous Backup.
Do I need to wipe it before restore? I'm asking because I did once without wipe and it is not booting. Doing some sound and showing me Samsung.com. Nothing else.
Please, help me guys.
Thank you!
I think you are ging to have to odin back to 2.1 then restore. I could be wrong.

You are correct. Nandroid does not back up your kernal or modem so you will have to odin both of those. Here is a link to the instructions:
Flash to stock
Thank you! You are a savior.

Np man, I had the same thing happen to me first time I tried flashing dk28. Tried booting a backup and got to just where you are hehe
One more question.
If I want to flash just modem (dk28 as example) and then flash some custom rom what files I need for it? I mean just for a DK28 modem? Can you give me right link for it? There is so many and I got lost.
once you have the dk28 modem flashed you can flash any froyo rom you want. just make sure it isn't a rom with ext4 unless you do that whole process.
I recently flashed Team Whiskey's Onyx on my vibrant but im wanting to explore other ROM's. I want to try out Axura but im not sure what to do, I have heard that its best to flash or ODIN back to stock prior to adding a new ROM to avoid "GHOSTS" but i ain't afraid of no ghosts. Would i be able to flash a ROM zip without going back to stock.
Yep, you can flash Axura right over Onyx

Yep. ROM Manager and TI Backup are the must have's.........
Well, I already have read that the last FW from samsung done troubles with locked bootloader and sound problems. I tried today flashing MDH8 rom like a stupid asshole. Then I decided to go back to the previous one and at the end I succsessfully reverted back to Omega MH1 but the problem is that All my sounds are gone.. Alarm, music. notifications nothing makes a sound..
Has any body also had it?
What can I do to solve that? Is it possible to solve it for now? Thanks.
Edit: guess Ill have to flash Stock MGG or MH8 trough Odin and then pray to god..
Any body?

It's safe. I was on Stock MH8 and rooted using latest CF-Auto Root and then flashed CWM and installed CM10.2, no troubles at all.
However I heard that once you flash a custom ROM it triggers flash counter and you can't go back to Stock ROM again. Don't know if it's true but another member mentioned it in another thread.
It's probably worth sticking with stock until we know more about it.

Im still on MH8 with root at the moment, but you could try a custom rom. If sound breaks again just rinse and repeat.

no - you do not need to replace bootloader files or repartition in odin - doing so could damage your device
you only need to include pda phone(modem) & csc

if i overclocked my device then flashed a fresh stock rom and kernel.. would the CPU return to default?

yes because you are flashing stock rom and kernel firmware - like I said - it will be like you switched the phone on for the first time
please search if you want more information
there are plenty of guides in the general section and on xda as a whole
