Hello there, could anyone explain me how can i get my htc back to original? I'm having some problems with the roms and i wanted to put the original rom as when i bought it. I know that there are topics about that but i need a step by step (rom,hpsl,radio,spl etc) because i'm new in this and don't understand some things. Anyone please? Thanks
EDIT: i have Artemis rom v41 PTG
1-Download HSPL2_RUN
2-Connect your HD2 in Active Sync mode,Run HSPL2 and choose 142.000 from drop down menu.
This will restore back the original SPL.
3-Download your original Stock ROM from HTC support site with your S/N,
4-Again connect your Phone in Active Sync mode,double click on the ROM you have just downloade from HTC site and flash it.
5-Now you have brand new stock Device.
Error
I coudn't do step 2, it give me an error saying that i have a bad spl version... how do i solve it? i have spl-3.03.0000
here's an image of my error:

replace the **** for http.
simple, skip steps 1 and 2, start with step 3 and flash only the stock new 3.14 rom (because it already has the new spl .the artemis rom you have, is based on the new stock rom spl 3.03 ...and you cannot flash hspl on it)
thanks. it's already working

Long time lurker, first real post.
I'm currently running Duttys 2.6 Rom (1.14 SPL)on my Orange UK branded Touch HD and loving it.
I've trawled the Wiki and the forum and pretty certain I know the answer to this but anyway...
Am I right in thinking that I cannot do anything with the new 1.56 Official Rom until HardSPL is updated OR Orange UK release their own version (which is unlikely ).
I guess this also means that any Cooked ROM that uses 1.56 SPL (Dutty 2.7-3.0) will also be unavailable to me?
I did read about people forcing this ROM through USPL...but that sounds risky to my novice mind
I just flashed yesterday after a long time of pondering. I finally took the plunge and flashed the new 1.56 rom using uspl 2.5
very easy to do.
Did you do anything different than a normal flash of a Cooked Rom? The thought of it flashing the SPL aswell as the ROM scares me
I usually:
- Power to BootLoader
- Insert SD
- Load USPL
- Flash
- HardReset
When I try to use the new official HTC ROM via USPL it updates my SPL to 1.54 without much trouble but will not go any further.
The bootloader shows "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again".
If I run USPL again now it's at 1.54 the upgrade starts to go through then bombs out back to the bootloader.
I've restored back to stock 1.14 now.

Follow guide in my signature. Will guide you through process
That's the guide I followed to get to the "Upgrade ROM code error Please try again."
The bootloader shows 1.14.0000 so I went straight to Step 5.
The phone is Orange UK branded so the .exe comes up with Invalid vendor so I go to 5a and follow it through to 5e (which is the method I was already using when I flashed Duttys firmware in the past).
Step 5e leaves you at the 1.15.USPL bootloader and tells you to go to Step 6
Step 6 starts of saying that I should now be at SPL1.54 but it doesn't, I'm still at USPL 1.15.USPL because Step 5a-e doesn't tell you to do anything other than fire up USPL.
I know I'm probably being thick, but I think I'm missing something

ok, if you are at 1.15 USPL, next step is to flash 1.56 rom. Then you should have SPL 1.54 in bootloader. After this reuse USPL and then flash Duttys rom
Thanks for this.
I'm now using Duttys v3.
It still showed "Upgrade ROM error" after doing the HTC 1.56 Update, but when it got to the 1.54SPL bootloader I fired up USPL and Duttys installed fine.
I want to install new ROM for my HTC Diamond 2 ( now I have Energyrom ) and I hard Spl it once when I installed my first ROM...for the new ROm should I hard SPL again?
NO, if you installed it once it's not overwritten.
even if i wanna return to WM 6.1 ( cooked )?
One question: Can I install my original HTC rom ( from HTC website )? Is it dangerous and complicated?
hard spl is unlocking for flash unofficial rom only. If you wanna get back wm 6.1 or some stock rom there isn't problem. Hard spl is till you'll use TopazSPLRelocker, because of warranty e.g.
Regarding getting back to official Rom, are you sure? If I download my Rom from HTC site and install it on my current Energyrom 6.5 nothing will happen?
I have heard my HTC pcb ( electronic board ) may break if I try to install official 6.1 on unofficial 6.5....
read this thread
here is quote from there
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker attachment, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary, the included one is the 1.33.0000 stock SPL.
3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 1.33.0000, not 1.33.OliNex.
it worked! Thanks a lot.
I have hspl 2.08 on my hd2. Is there a way to return everything back to stock. The spl the hd2 6.1 os and everything else back to the way the phone was out of the box. if there is please show me the way
install the original htc rom from within the sd card
check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
To restore you must first find the origonal/newest rom that goes with your phone.
This could be a network customised rom, best place to get it is from HTC themselfs. www.htc.com
Type in your phone SN and it will tell you what rom you should have.
Install the rom you downloaded, ok this wont change the spl back to the one it should have just yet.
Ok now download hspl2 and get it to restore back to spl1.42.0000.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
Once you have set back the spl reinstall the rom again, this will then set the spl to what it should with that rom.
When I got the phone it had the original splash screen, I tried installing the WWE version but when I did it it said invalid error. But I managed to get Tmob uk version working rom working on it.
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.
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
