Selling my hero as i've just got a SF on orange. So i'd like to flash it back to stock as atm it's rooted and running villianrom
How do i do this?
Plug in phone, run RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=559622.
That will return back to stock 1.5.
Google if you want 2.1, not sure if there is an Orange 2.1 RUU but maybe worth a look.
If your selling, put in your add that your willing to flash ROM on buyers request, may help sell abit quicker maybe?!

I'm a Moto Droid user, and my brother just picked up a rooted Hero. It does work, but I need to revert it back to total stock for him.
I want him to learn the phone first, and then root it myself, so I know it's done right.
I need some basic instructions on what to do. I know more about my phone than the Hero.
So, basically, I need to make his phone exactly like it originally was out of the box.
Thanks ahead of time!
Just a few threads down -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652270
well, installing a stock rom and a hero in stock condition are two different things.
you need to install a RUU, but be carefull to chose the correct version, otherwise rooting again will be a PITA...
depending on which hero you are using....just use the htc sync and pick the ruu u want...older vers might be preferable as the newer ones are more complicated to root(specially the 2.1 that is suppose to come out soon)...as long as u pick the right rom all should be good!
in the hero android development section,the RUU Rom links choose the lowest of all the numbers.This should put it to stock 1.5 and let him upgrade without doing the goldcard rubbish
I've rooted my hero and have had a 2.1 sense rom on it for the last couple of days but have decided that i would rather go back to the orginal one and wait for the htc update.
Amd i right in think that i can download one of the rom of the HTC website and run it like normal and it will resotre my hero to default and un root it.

Why do you want to un-root?....
If you use the update thing from HTC, you will probably lose the custom recovery too.
Just install a stock ROM from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero .
You can also get rooted stock ROMS there.
Because i just want to have my hero how it was and if i'm having the stock rom as i may as well un root as the only reason i routed in the fisrt place was to be able to use a custom rom

But just think of the quality of custom ROMs that will be released once the official 2.1 is out!!!!!
If you want a stable 1.5 ROM to use until then, I recommend MCR3.2. I'v been using it since day one of me getting my HERO, no issues to complain about at all. Get it HERE
If not, then yeah, use the official HTC update, should put everything back to how it was when new.
Just to double check that running the update file off the HTC website will work as i'm going to unroot my phone now in preperation for the offical rom
So I've installed a couple of ROMs, but now I'm thinking about turning back the HTC HD2 to RadioShack and getting my $550 back. It's not because the phone is bad, I just realized that I don't need it.
How can I roll back to a custom ROM? Because I don't think they will return the money if the phone has been hacked. (Besides, I unlocked it, so it works with AT&T).
yeah i was wondering the samething. I saw the thread, but there were so many roms, i dont know which one is the correct one, i saw there is a new one 2.11 but its a test rom. i just need the stock rom. Getting rid of this tomorrow for sure.
so no one knows?
Nobody!!!!
Check Here
2.10.1 is there stock us rom it can be found here on the [ROM]Leo 1.5 T-MOBILE Test & Stock ROMS [2.11 is here!!] thread.
You can probably sell your phone for a nice chunk if its unlocked online.
Huge Demand at the moment.
This should get you back to stock.

So which one of many displayed in that topic should I use?
Bouyark,
Thanks for the heads up on that Unlockr site. I was getting a bit confused in which radios, roms etc etc to use to go back to stock. That file they had did it in one step and the phone is perfect just like out of the box new.
Again,
Thanks !!
I dont have a tmous, mines a euro hd2 but heres how i would do it, assuming that i have hspl
Id get the 2.10.1 rom from the tmous shipped roms thread, (though i suspect it doesnt matter which one, so long as you have a recent one)
Flash the rom.
Check your radio version, (though the radio deffinately cant be wrong, cos non tmous radios brick tmous phones, right?) but if necessary flash a diff radio.
Run HSPL1024 again on the PC, choose 2.08.0000 from the list, which will remove hspl.
Done, stock rom, radio and spl.
hi,
I am new to Android so this might be a noob question but i really want to know how to flash my phone back to original from liberated rom. i grow impatient of waiting for official 2.2 to release so i want to flash the liberated rom but how do i make a backup of my stock rom so i can restore the phone back to its original when it comes to make a warranty claim or when htc has the official froyo release for aria?
thank you

Here is the link to download the original Aria ROM. Click on the "More" link to see the instructions to follow to flash the RUU.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
thanx for the reply.
1)if my aria is SEA version not under AT&T, is there a difference?
and
2) i've read somewhere from the forum that HTC Sync wont run on CM6, if i flash cm6 instead of liberated, can i still use HTC Sync to recover it back to original?
3) by flashing this rom, my phone will be like original out of the box? which allow me to claim for warranty? ( rooted or flashed will void warranty)
Thanks Again

OK sorry, this ROM file is for the AT&T branded Aria. I do not know where you would find the SEA version of the ROM.
It is true the HTC Sync cannot interact with CM 6.1 ROM at the application level to sync contacts and such, but you can still use HTC Sync to flash these HTC original RUU ROM files.
Hopefully someone else may be able to point you to the SEA original RUU ROM file.
I don't know what "SEA" is but this may be of some help to you and PM'ing the OP or posting in the thread someone may be able to help you...unless of course one of the RUUs from the first post is what you are looking for:

Edit: I guess SEA stands for southeast asia?
Hi,
I have been playing around with my Telstra Wildfire quite a bit and now I'd like to revert it back to 100% stock (I might need to bring it in for warranty if the stock ROM doesn't fix the problems).
Unfortunately, I never ran a backup. I remember that it came with 2.1 upgrade 1 and I'm not sure what radio or boot.
Would this do the trick? Or would i end up stuck with an unrootable 2.2? RUU_Buzz_Telstra_WWE_1.21.841.3_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe
If that's not good enough, if there anybody who have a backup of the stock ROM and would be so kind to email it to me?
Thanks a lot!!

thanks for your reply. http: // shipped-roms. com/shipped/Buzz/ is where I found:
RUU_Buzz_Telstra_WWE_1.21.841.3_Radio_13.45.55.24_ 3.35.15.31_release_138758_signed.exe
All I want to know is whether that's the original 2.1 upgrade 1 ROM that Telstra has been using on their Wildfires. I want to make sure that it's NOT the 2.2 telstra Froyo ROM that's been going around.
Thanks again!
All Froyo updates start their version with 2.xx. So, 1.21.841.3 is the 2.1 Eclair RUU.
