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.

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?

I just bought hero and i am delighted with it
I heard that new ROM version is much better than the old one (i have 1.76.405.6)
What is new in newer version, and can i just download RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe and flash it with that or i must be careful with something?
For the most part, the newer version is just a significant speed bump to the original.
Rather than applying an RUU update, I'd be more inclined to apply a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs.
Regards,
Dave
It also has scandinavian language support
If i want to applay RUU update, that will automaticly install ROM on my hero? (like on Touch HD)
Why would you rather applay a custom recovery image and one of Modacos ROMs, and how to do that? My hero is new and i dont want to do something wrong or bad..
To do what is not written in front of you is living...........

If you don't know why, you probably shouldn't be on these forums!
Seriously though - read some threads and do some research.

The official RUU update will apply the update automatically. If you're not sure about applying a custom ROM then the official one is worth installing. Installing a custom ROM will require a couple of extra steps though.
Asd foxmeister says, read, read read.
Ok, thx for replay and help
haha! I met a guy today at my phone market in the same boat as you I offered to give him my Hero with the newest update and 500RMB to have his and he wouldn't bite. Fortunately my vendor loves me and she is now looking for another hero with the 1.76 ROM for me
There is nothing wrong with the updated phone. In fact it works great. You just need to decide what is best for you.
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
I bought my LEO from Orange with a contract.I searched the forums but couldn't find a noob friendly "tutorial" on how to backup my factory rom before upgrading to o custom rom, so that I wouldn't void my warranty .
Some someone help would be appreciated.

As far as im aware you can only back up the apps/settings not the rom itself, if you wanted to go back to the Stock rom you would need to download it and flash it again.

I don't know if htc's stoc rom is the same as the one provided by orange.
On my old I900 omnia it was possible to backup the entire rom Using GrandPrix.
I hope there is a similar solution for LEO.
You can download the original HTC Orange ROM from their website and set it aside should it ever become necessary to send the phone back for service.

It's my understanding that after installing HSPL if you need to revert to the original bootloader, you just have to flash a factory ROM and you're there. However, I've never put that to a test just yet. One other thing, be careful on which radio version is in the ROM you're using from HTC because HSPL will only install if your radio version is (if memory serves) 1.42 or earlier.
No reason to back it up - the ROM image is the backup itself, of course without data or user-installed programs. If you're looking for a good backup program, I've been very happy with SPB Backup which has been very reliable and will restore your entire machine, inclusive of data and applications you've installed yourself.
HTH.
ETA: I'd probably download ALL the HTC factory ROMs and patches and keep them on my drive and/or external media just in case the company ever decides that nobody wants those 'old' images anymore and discontinues the hosting of them.
i am sending back my phone, i need to install wm 6.5 back in my USA tmobile HD2... Can someone please help me out,
What have you currently got?
You're probably gonna need a stock ROM for your region - that most recent official one will be ideal.

im running android energy froyostone.
Just restart it and don't boot Android then, or am I completely misunderstanding your op?
Well if you're sending it back you are gonna need to flash a stock rom and remove the hspl, as your warranty is void with that on it. Look in the rom section... there's stickies that will have all the info you need.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
stock tmous 2.13 ROM:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/gsm-hd2-u...ial-shipped-leaked-tmob-rom-radios-links.html
uncompress it and take the .nbh rename it to LEOIMG.nbh. Put it on the root of the storage card (not the 16gb stock that came with it, but something smaller will work).
Put the ROM into bootloader and you are all set. It will flash the stock ROM and relock hspl.
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!!
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/
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.
