Downgrade to original WM5 from O2 no longer possible

Hello,
I used Step I nivid to downgrade to wm5 before I upgraded to wm6 from kamalneet, link to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349603
But I have some major problem with the rom, when I now want to donwgrade back to the official WM5 from my provider O2 it always says that the nbf file is to old and i have to get a newer one.
This problem only occured after I used "nivid wm5" in kamalneet's post for downgrading.
I can downgraded with different "Step1" Roms posed in this forum but not with the original one as it was possible before!
And also after downgrading with one of these roms the error message keeps the same!
Is there any way that I can get my original O2 rom back?
Thanks!!

search for HardSPL and flash it! after that your SPL Version will be: 2.4G.4PDA THEN!!! you can downgrade to ANY SPL. just flash latest o2 ROM and you will be back at SPL 2.20.0001 again!
i've tried it already it REALLY works!!!

i just flashed back to my dopod original rom.
Original rom is still the best.

Yep, just as nForce said:
You can use HardSPL.
But if you want to set it all back to the old-fashioned original-values you have to go through an even looooonger way (have done it by myself) - you have to go down to IPL 2.10 or lower to have your device back to IPL 2.15 from original O2 ROM, otherwise it remains 2.20 or higher *caugh* -
but then it's back to original in every aspect.
You have to go into SoftSPL (that whitescreen), then from WIKI back to IPL 2.10 (see wiki), followed by going back into SoftSPL and with whitescreen to SPL 2.15 or lower. After that you can take the nbf from the O2-Upgrade-File and flash with the ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe from Upgrade_Package.zip.
Just take the nk.nbf from the original O2 Firmware (after starting somewhere in %TEMP% or by extracting setup-file), then put it in "Upgrade Utility" flash it and boot will say:
O2-Screen
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
GSM 02.19.21
OS (don'tknowexactly)
regardless of which version you ever have had flashed onto your device before.
Happy flashing.
offtopic: what are these I/SPL 3.0something versions for? Just for preventing going to other ROMs?

Not HardSPL but SoftSPL
whoops... it's even easier than that.
regardless of IPL and SPL-Version just follow the steps to get into SoftSPL (the White-screen) WITHOUT flashing HardSPL
Then do the firmware-update from O2 (the O2-shipped-one) and everything should work fine. (after this procedure your phone should look like a virgin, with no HardSPL, with CID-Lock (if not unlocked before), original ROM and ExtROM)

You must use a vodafone stock ROM then - the 1.66 HTC ROM flashes the stock SPL
which does not fit your CID, therefore you get the triangle.

thx for replying.
I had stock rom 1.48 before and then i installed HSPL so that i can install Stock 1.66 wwe rom into my hd2. It was a successful action. Rom installed and worked correctly without any problem.
But problem arise when I tried to uninstall the HSPL to original spl. I renamed the 1.66 rom .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh and converted the card format into fat32 also.
when i inserted the card into hd2 and turned it on whilst pressing down volume button. its started into boot loader program and den asked me to press power button to start the process.
And then it ended with an error.. 00028002 NOT ALLOW something like that. which is for Invalid vendor ID..
Please help..
how to return to original spl with the latest 1.66 wwe rom.
thx in advance..

Actually, you did everything correctly... except that you should use the stock ROM for your device, which is vodafone branded, isn´t it?
BTW, did you check the SPL version already? Because it might be already back to stock SPL, but then, you won´t be able to flash an original HTC ROM.
Being back at stock SPL (with vodafone CID) and trying to flash/launch an official HTC ROM on the branded device results in what you write!

Hmm.. is there any harm if i don't remove HSPL??? as m still trying to make my HD2 working..
error coming is 00028002 NOT ALLOW

Get the original 1.43 vodafone UK ROM from here, and repeat what you did.
Follow the first link, select 1.43, then obviously the vodafone ROM.
EDIT PS:
In case you want to keep the stock SPL, but upgrade to the 1.66 HTC ROM, you must do this using SSPL (search for this here in the forum).
As of today, there is no other way of getting the stock SPL back than flashing your original ROM.

BIG thank you .. it is working now with the stock 1.43 rom.. and yes u are right.. it was showing me again 1.42 spl after uninstalling the HSPL.
u saved my hd2.. thx once again for ur great help..

Hi
Thanks for the link, however the 1.43 ROM is corrupt, I have tried downloading several times. I try to extra the RUU_Signed.nbh with winrar but it fails, the 1.66 and 1.72 Vodafone ROMs extract fine.
Basically I am trying to restore a Vodafone HD2 to stock ROM+SPL, reason being the phone they sent on an insurance replacement is rubbish e.g. the touchscreen isn't responsive. I tried changing to a custom ROM also Vodafone 1.66 and 1.72 to see if the problem would be fixed but it didn't help.
Now I just need to send the phone back for another replacement.
Does anyone have an alternative link for this 1.43 ROM?

I am having a similar issue.
I am trying remove HSPL, I have copied the .nbh file over to the SD already formatted as FAT 32 - I'm using my original ROM.
(RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Shp )
Also tried with ( RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2_Ship )
When I start with volume down pressed, I get a message saying " Upgrade ROM code error please try again " then the multi coloured screen with SPL-1.42.0000 XE.
Please help, I fear I have broken my phone ...

Then your phone is probably provider rom locked.

HSPL is already removed, which is why the WWE roms don't work. You need to find your provider released rom, or (far easier) run hspl2, choose 1.42.hspl, flash either of teh roms you mentioned above by USB, run hspl2 again, choose 1.42.0000 and done.

samsamuel
Thanks for the reply.
I can't use HSPL2 as the phone doesn't sink to my PC as it's stuck on the tri colour screen. Unless there is a way of doing this from the memory card.
I'm pretty sure my stock ROM was 1.43, which I have downloaded but can't re flash?.
I guess I need to download a 1.42 O2 ROM from somewhere?

No need to sync to pc. In bootloader, connect usb cable - when USB shows on the screen then run HSPL2

pre - and indeed - cisely

OK this is using the 1.48 ROM
Used HSPL2 and hacked to 1.42.hspl, pressed power to start update image, and the ROM loaded but then goes back to the tri colour screen again. So I ran flashed through USB 1.48 ROM and got " Invalid Vendor ID " ?
I tried HSPL2 again to hack to 1.42.0000 and then re-flash through USB and got " invalid vendor ID again "
I even tried with HSPL I had before and the same result.
Argghhhhhh
What can I be doing wrong here ?

Working now
I downloaded the latest O2 ROM 1.72.0 etc and it's working now.
Thanks again guys, you helped me a lot
Once more thing my phone now say's it has SPL-1.66 - I guess when unlocking using HSPL2, I now need to choose 1.66.000?

1. download stock ROM
2. unpack/unzip and place ruu_signed.nbh and ROMUpdateUtility in sd card
3. make sure you have >50% battery life
4. with the device turned off, put sd card in
5. enter boot loader, device will automatically detect ROM file in sd card and
then will install this, it will install stock spl as well so hspl will be removed

sounds like you tried to flash over sd card, which as any fule kno first thing it does is resets the spl, so hspl is no longer installed so the rest of the flash fails.

used sd card again eh?
1 - boot the phone to bootloader. (Three coloured screen)
2 - run hspl2, choose whatever spl you like SO LONG AS it ends HSPL.
3 - when the phone reboots, keep volume down pressed to re enter bootloader
4 - run your rom flash over USB
5 - phone should now boot normally.
6 - if you now want to remove hspl again, re run HSPL2 and choose the spl you want, ENDING IN .0000

samsamuel
Yes Doh - I was flashing from SD and then trying to flash through USB. It all makes sense now. I got around it though by using the new O2 ROM that's just been released so I didn't need to unlock to bring my phone back to life.
Anyway it's all working fine now with the stock 1.72 O2 ROM, just flashed with HSPL2 and re-installed the Energy ROM.
Thanks again for all the help.

ahh good.
Its a good idea if you flash fairly regularly to do your flashing from bootloader, that way you are visually aware of your spl at every step. just get used to holding vol down as it reboots and you can do the whole thing, hspl, rom, radio, without ever having to pull the battery. just keep booting to tri colour till its done.

Please help me

Dear All,
I decided to add the miri custom ROM. I'm on official 1.66 rom WWE with radio 2.06. I read in this forum that I have to downgrade to 1.48 in order ro be able to SPL. I downloaded the 1.48 from the thread of Leo official roms in this forum. The process stopped at 1% telling me "Invalid vendor". then I restarted my device but the GSM network is not working.
Please help how could I go back to 1.48 to SPL my device.
i want to hard spl but my spl is 1.66.0000
how to hard spl ??

You need the ROM that originally came with your HD2, flash it using the SD card method and then you can put HSPL on the device

That will only help if the original spl on the stock rom is 1.42.0000, which with a 1.66 based rom I'm guessing not. HSPL currently only works if the spl is 1.42.0000 and in cases where it isn't you need to either upgade or downgrade to 1.42 first.

i can not flash by memory card but i have error vender id
in goldcard i have problem too, this is vender id error
is any hspl for spl 1.66.0000 ? ?
Edit !!
i can update my rom to energy by sspl but it still in HTC bootscreen
i need hard spl
please help

helppppppppp

Who is your provider? you need the 1.48 ROM from your provider to flash back to SPL 1.42 via SD card. If your phone isn't vendor locked (although it sounds like it is) then you can get the 1.48 ROM for your region from HTC direct
Might be a lesson to be learned here to read everything fully before attempting anything

i have 1.48 rom and test SD card method but i have vender id error

Try another one of these 1.48 roms to see if perhaps any one of them work
http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html
As has been stated by EddyOS you can't always just flash to any stock 1.48 rom, you need to try to get a 1.48 based rom for your operator and that is why you are getting the invalid vendor problem. I luckily did not have a problem and I see some other users are saying that the Goldcard method also no longer works. I can't comment on that, but you may want to try that option out.

a question
for ugprade to 1.66 i need goldcard ?
because gold card is worked by active sync but my device in still in htc boot screen

You need to get a 1.48 ROM for your region/vendor and flash using the sd card method, nothing else will get you back to SPL 1.42 so don't bother trying.
If you don't understand then you shouldn't have flashed in the first place

ok. i tested 1.48 and 1.61 rom by sd method but see Not Allowed error.
i will download 1.66 and test it
thanks a lot

Are you getting the 1.48 ROM that is from your region/vendor?

seems you are just flashing any old rom. You need to find one that is specific to your provider (voafone, o2, tmobile, whatever) otherwise you will continue to get invalid vendor.

[Q] Flashing phone to stock ROM ?

Hi how do i go about flashing my HD2 back to stock English: 3.14.405.2 ROM ?! as i'd like to sell it now. i have an artemis rom, cotulla HSPL 2.08 and a splash screen from an old chucky ROm i'd like to get rid of !!
so how do i do this safely ?cheers dom
p.s will i still be able to boot into an sd build of android from a stock rom ??

into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run hspl4 choose 2.08.0000 (or 3.03.0000, or in fact any that end .0000, teh next step will upgrade it anyway, so long as it ends .0000)
into bootloader, 'serial' --> 'USB'
run 3.14 rom .exe
done.
(this assumes you have the correct 3.14 rom, not just the default stock rom. i.e if your phone is from o2 you need the o2 3.14 rom)
PS yes

Oh right thank you for your quick reply! I think I'll just flash a stock rom so I can sell the phone as unlocked! Thanks again for your help! !!

you cant relock an unlocked phone anyway, no matter what you flash.
Dont confuse sim lock and rom lock, Totally unconnected.
a sim unlocked phone will still need hspl to flash, and a flashed phone isn't sim unlocked.

oh crap.
i just flashed straight back to stock without doing any of this... have i screwed up?
Also i did it because it keeps crashing and overheating so i was going to try it on stock and if it kept doing it i was going to send it back to htc - will they be able to tell i tried a custom rom?
(seems to be working fine though)
EDIT:
another question - will this have changed my radio back to stock too - or do I have to do this manually?

where can i download the new stock rom as the HTC site says its now for my phone....(probably because it was an O2 branded rom before)

theres an O2 update as well on the HTC website?
Otherwise the latest ones are on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283
I managed to sort mine - turns out you have to do it via SD and it does everything bootloader, ROM and radio. (although it failed the first time and i almost made a mess in my trousers)
If anyones interested the instructions are (taken from HSPL4 app):
- 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.
I also formatted the SD before copying it over.

No there was only one for t mobile !
cheers for the link matey

yea its odd that, the o2 3.14 rom is there via direct link, has been since saturday, but still doesn't show if you navigate to the rom updates page on htc.uk

ok updated the hspl fine...but when i try to flash the new WWE rom i get an "invalid vendor id" at 1% and the flash fails

righty all sorted ! the O2 rom was on the UK site i was being dumb and look on htc Europe site !
all flashed and working fine now
