Help on putting HD2 back to factory stock - HD2 General

I have a HD2 that I would like to put back to stock. So is there a way to put everything to the way it was after it has been flashed with hspl? I need to send one of my HD2's back for internal(hardware) issues.

Either look around for the stock rom your phone came with or if you have a tmous hd2 you can go to the tmobile line and download the official update rom just by following the directions and run as you would any ROM load it will return your phone back to stock and you'll loose the HSPL

Thank u very much sir and yea I do have T-Mobile so this should be easy

Important T-Mobile Stock Rom Question

I need to send my hd2 and get it exchanged for another. I installed the stock rom and relocked my phone. The only problem is that the rom date on the stock rom that is available from here is 2/19. The one on my phone before i unlocked it and installed a custom rom was 2/22. So my question is was there more than one stock rom with a different date? And would this be a problem if i sent in? Has anybody sent in there hd2 for exchange using the method i did?

Thread moved to General section. This is not Development related.
To answer your question, as long as the SPL is the correct one, the rom date should not matter. You can flash TMO roms back and forth without doing HSPL on the device. So, go ahead and take it back with confidence (as long as you have 2.08.0000 and the word "Cotulla" is not in the bootloader.)
Good luck and next time, please search a bit before posting a new thread.

Ok.. For TMOUS how do u take Cotulla off? I tried taking originalSPL take the RUU.NBH out renaming it LEOIMG.NBH and turn phone off hold vol down button and I see a gray screen that says "Loading...." and then it goes back to the bootloader and nothing else happens.
run hspl 1024 and choose 2.08.0000,,,,,,,,, hspl gone. no need to do it by sd card anymore.

How to revert hd2 back to stock

I am on elegancia rom and i want to go back to stock because I am giving the phone back to tmobile so I was wondering how I would do that.
Go to t-mobile.com and look under the hd2 support section; there is a download section where you enter your IME number and it will allow you to install the latest T-Mobile stock Rom.

that will revert my hspl back to the regular spl
if you flash rom frmo sd card, yes.
if you flash via usb, no. then simply reverse the steps you did to put hspl on (run hspl and select your spl).

Noob questions.

Hi, so I've been reading the forums for a while, trying to figure out how to root my DHD correctly, as well as installing a custom ROM..
I have Software Number 1.37.771.3
I assume this does not need to be downgraded, but just want assurance. Alll the downgrades need to be from 1.72.XXX.X
What is the most popular custom ROM to install?
What does flashing new radios do? And are they necessary?
What does S-Off do?
How will I be able to install my stock ROM back once I install a custom rom?
I know some of these question can be found by searching, but some parts are not clear to me.
Thanks.
Hiya, 1.37 does not need to be downgraded so you CAN root that.
The most popular roms I believe are either ARHD or rcmix hd (but it is down to personal preference, some roms give you things some others don't/can't)
Once you install a custom rom, sometimes you need to install a different radio to get better battery life, gps signal etc etc.
Radio s-off gives you the ability to install a custom Rom on Ur dhd, I'm not sure if its true but I think it is a MUST if you wanna install a Rom.
Eng s-off is needed to flash a radio, but you only have to have eng s-off if you wanna flash a radio.
You can just radio s-off to install a custom Rom and not have to have eng s-off to install a radio.
You can get back to stock by flashing the branded/unbranded ruu through your computer (its easier that way, I had trouble doing it through SD card last night,just run the exe. File through computer and follow the commands) , it will get rid of custom Rom, eng s-off, custom recovery and root all in one go, so all you need to do after is temp root and radio s-on, and you should be back to stock. Or you can do a nandroid backup (someone jump in cos not too clear on this point either)
If anyone wants to jump in and say if I got it wrong please do, but that's what I done last night.
Is your handset branded by any chance mate?
Cos what I done last night was flash the WWE unbranded Rom and now I'm unbranded, cos I used to be branded by vodafone, now all the vodafone crap and stuff has gone from mine.
Oh also you might wanna check before you start whether u can get your hands on a branded Rom cos if you have trouble with handset and need to send it back then your gonna wanna get it completely back to normal.
Anyway hope this helped and if you need anything there's lots of people on here that will help you as best they can.
Good luck ;-)

The most popular ROM is probably either LeeDroid HD, Android Revolution HD or CyanogenMod
Flashing a different radio is not usually required but can give you better performance.
S-off lets you install custom ROMs of your DHD, you cant flash a radio and Im pretty sure you cant flash a ROM without S-off.
The stock ROM (version 1.32.405.6) can be downloaded from CyanogenMods downloads page. Link
This might be useful too. Link
Also HTC Ace was the codename for the Desire HD so if you see HTC Ace anywhere its the right phone.
ARHD 3.5 has just been released.
This was exactly the thread I was looking for, I've been reading these forums for the last week trying to get my head around all the information. Im guessing once you understand all the procedures it starts coming a bit more naturally, doing my first flash tomorrow

Good luck mate, I did my first one last week, it was nerve wracking lol some people like me need a little more help and clarification from more knowledgeable members on here.
But we all in the same boat innit, just don't start too many threads on it cos you'll end up getting a warning like me, it was harsh but I'm gonna have to accept it looool anyways good luck and if u need any help just ask.
And make sure you follow all the steps to the point, cos you could end up with some unrectifiable problems ;-)

It depends what you wanna do, if you wanna unbrand your phone use the WWE ruu, if you wanna return Ur phone back to the way it was then use a official 3 branded Rom, and as you know if you want a particular custom Rom then just flash one of those.
I got my WWE ruu from xmoo's thread, it has a whole list of different ruu versions, so just pick the one you want but I suggest going for the 1.32 xx3 cos you can still root that version if you wanted to.

Warranty repair. Need to get things back to STOCK!

Hi all,
I've read the stickies and other threads and just want to be certain I'm going about this the right way.
I have a hardware fault with my HD2 (running NexusHD2 v3.0) and want it repaired under warranty. HTC have accepted to take the phone back but I'll obviously need to flash it back to stock.
The oldest ROM for my device appears to be "RUU_Leo_Vodafone_UK_1.43.405.1_Radio_Signed_15.26. 50.07U_2.04.50.22_2_Ship.exe" which is likely the one that shipped with the phone as this is one of the first off the production line, so I'll be flashing this one.
The hardware fault on the device has caused the MicroUSB port to break, so I won't be able to flash via a cable. I see I'm able to flash a stock rom via the same method of custom WM roms (that takes me back! ), but what I'm wondering is... after flashing via SD card, will the stock rom both remove HSPL *and* the newer Radio rom I flashed?
I assume I won't have to Task29 the phone or anything before flashing WM, as iirc you have to Task29 via a cable.
Thanks for your help!
I'd download the official ROM from HTC's website (that you have to give them your HD2's serial number), just to be sure that you won't flash a wrong ROM and everything will be in order.
Also flashing via SD the ROM should remove both HSPL and newer radio (I'm 100% sure it does that with official ROMs, but with unofficials it may change only the radio).
flashing a stock rom will not remove the spl..cause ive had first hand exp with it
just flash the stock rom then get the hspl package from this site and you can flash the stock spl from it

Flashing via SD removes HSPL - Confirmed !
I have a hd2 with a radio hardware fault. It works great without the sim inserted. When I send it to htc to repair should I revert it back to tmobile stock rom or let them see it in android with the sim radio not working?

Thanks everyone for your advice - flashing stock now. I'm lucky enough to have a rooted Samsung Galaxy 5 (i5500) as a backup phone so I won't have to be without Android, but I'll sure miss the HD2 while it's repaired!

To be honest, I wouldn't risk it. Companies will do anything to get out of warranty claims, and by doing what you've (we've ) done, we have voided the warranty and should expect no service from HTC regardless of the fault in its current condition.
It's a shame as my hardware fault obviously has nothing to do with flashing software or the like; it'd be like an insurance company not paying out when someone hits your car because you'd changed its radio.
HTC might be a lot more, um, "human" though, like tleaf100 found out... but I just wouldn't want to chance it. You're sending the device direct to their chosen repair centre anyway, they might not be so decent!
Just to confirm - the (latest) Vodafone UK stock rom removed the custom SPL, splash screen, radio and everything else. You'll soon know if your stock rom removes all of this as it goes through an [OK] checklist while it's flashing.
Being back on WM seemed rather strange.
All ready to be sent off...
HTC are so **** with service send it back stock otherwise they will only **** you about for weeks and get you to pay for it back, cost me 25 quid, arseholes!

there a guide here somewhere, simple exe to your phone very easy
It just means if your phone is sim locked ie can only use sim from a specific network make sure you flash the Rom for that network
