Please Help

I flashed a cooked ROM using the SPL method and now my phone is stuck at the white screen with HTC in the middle. I cannot perform a hard reset and Im unable to reinstall original ROM thru the SD card method. Please help me

Which rom did you use. Most of the new 2.10 based cooked roms require radio 2.08 to boot up. Put the phone into bootloader and flash the new radio.
If you pull the radio out you should be able to then do a hard reset as well as flash via sd card.

If you're using hspl, (the only way you can flash a new radio) then with phone in bootloader, insert usb and when usb appears on screen flash the same way as for a rom.

When I flashed the ROM earlier, I used this method

So now i have to install hspl?

Yes, sspl doesn't allow you to change the radio and you need the newer radio for these latest roms.

Or you can just reinstall your original ROM from the card and you will have everything back as it has been

Thx guys..my new ROM is up and running. Phew

Closing this as you have a number of threads on the same subject. Please keep it all in one thread; easier to help you that way.
Glad you got it up and running.

[RUU] Rooted release stock ruu (For those reverting from leak)

For those wanting to revert from the leaked RUU, you can use this.
http://www.multiupload.com/Y9LP6S6WSP
Firmware: 1.12.605.6
Radio: 1.16.00.0223
31478f109a56be3eb7068d97a7e9b11b PG05IMG_stock.zip
Check md5sum, rename as PG05IMG.zip and flash through the bootloader.
You will keep s-off, root, update to newest (as of today) clockwork recovery and restore the rest to factory settings. Will wipe your phone.
Some people are reporting random reboots on the newest leak RUU, so it may be a trade of. Better battery, or less random reboots.

Thanks Jcase, been looking for this.

I'm not rooted and want to stay that way. If I use this to revert to the original stock thunderbolt Rom will it be a stock unrooted version? And do I flash this like I flashed the unrooted RUU? If that isn't he case could you post a RUU that would be unrooted and signed so I can flash it. I woils appreciate this a lot

Thank you! I had my nandroid backup, but this is peace of mind.
Just to be clear, flashing this (from recovery, right?) will downgrade the radio and reinstall stock ROM but keep root?

Curious, if I flash an older back up in CWM with the older radio, does this replace the new radio, or must I still reflash the old radio?

if you are unrooted, then this rom is not for you I believe, you need original signed version of this rom that is somewhere in this forum. You need the 605.6 ruu that is signed and untouched. To flash this you have to have s-off already and be rooted as far as I know.
There is a obligatory radio thread that has just the older radio if you just wanna go back to the radio. But the RUU you flash in bootloader is the total package radio+software.

Download Hash Droid from the Market. It will allow you to check the md5sum on your phone.

Been waiting for this. Good to have on hand. Thanks.

So, I have the original signed ruu... .but can't use it to revert, I get:
"Main version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
How do I get around this and go back to stock for an unrooted phone?

Will this put hboot back on my phone?

I used the PG05IMG downgrade used in the rooting process and then flashed the stock PG05IMG and it brought me back to stock with no prob.

Were you rooted before the leak?
did you use hboot to go back?

No and yes

Download the downgrade.zip here:
http://www.multiupload.com/EH2U0B1JYG
Download the original RUU here:
http://www.multiupload.com/JWLPZAS15T
Rename and flash the downgrade (PG05IMG) in hboot wait for homescreen to load skip setup. Delete Downgrade.zip and place stock RUU on SD and rename to PG05IMG.flash in Hboot and back to stock.
I am not responsible for you bricking your phone.

Thanks for your help

new to this and scared!

hey guys! sorry be such a newbie.. i have recently rooted my phone and im loving the root apps and all that jazz, i wanna try out some new themes and mods..
my question is.. once you install them.. if you dont like them.. how do you restore back to the original?
Any help would be appreciated! Thankyou!

f*** sorry didnt see the thing about not posting here til now.. delete this! i will go Q&A section
sorry!

Ask a mod to move your question into Q&A.
And to your question, if you unlock your bootloader and push a kernel using adb you'll have a recovery installed, use it to take a backup.
If you only want to have a rooted device with locked bootloader, install CWM recovery for locked BL's and take a backup there.

Easiest way is backup your phone framework-res, and SettingsUI apks.
Flash theme and if you don't like theme, then manually overwrite with earlier backups files over new themed framework-res.apk and SettingsUI.apk.
You can do this over adb, fastboot, or I recommend you "android commander"
No need then mess up with Full rom backup.

Of course your described method is efficienter, but I think for newbies a backup with CWM is a lot easier.

i just saw this thread on the "latest" tab , just do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery , if you dont have recovery then head to the market and download rom manager , andd i apologize but i cannot see what device this thread is under (i am on from xda app) but ask if your phone is supported , or when you click flash recovery it might say your phones name or code name

ROM Manager can't install CWM recovery on our Xperia devices.
We've to install it using ADB and by the way I think the problem is solved either way.

If your device has locked bootloader. Still you can flash your own firmware without userdata partition. Then root device again

Nope, your radio is fine and your clockworkmod recovery is also fine, you need to update nothing. As the saying goes: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You don't need the RUU to flash the bootloader. To unlock the bootloader you just need to update the hboot and if you are able or not with your current rom it depends on the Main Version you are running.
Regardless the above, you can try using the AAHK2 to gain S-OFF, Root, SuperCID and Sim unlock.
