[Q] The definative thread for reverting wp7 back to wm6.5

Hi there, I know Im going to get shot down in flames (and probably rightly so), but I cant find a definative step by step guide on this site for returning to Windows Mobile 6.5 from Windows Phone 7. I have tried a load of search queries and for some reason I cant get anything that takes it through step by step and offers any links for any downloads I might need. I must be just typing the wrong things or looking in the wrong place.
When I installed Windows 7 I found great step by step guides that worked well but I can find what I need this time.
I know I am obviously being an idiot but could someone please reply with a link to a step by step idiot proof guide to getting my phone back to WM6.5 from WP7. Thanks chaps.
Im selling the phone which is why I want to revert it back so its as an HD2 would normally be.

Power off phone. Power on with holding power and vol down until you get to the tri color screen. Flash your WM 6.5 ROM of choice. Any custom or compatible stock will do the job.

What he said, get to the "rainbow screen" bu holding down volume and power and attempt to flash your desired ROM from your PC.

Ok, but where do I find a stock ROM?

Search the forum you will find the link...

Turn the phone off. Turn the phone on and keep holding volume down and power button untill you get to rainbow screen. Now run the rom software on your pc and follow the prompts. Download the factory roms from htc.com (they want your serial number-its under the battery so is the IMEI, t-mobile (they want your IMEI number), if outside USA get rom from provider site or search the forums here for custom roms.

To clear up something. It is NOT nessesary to flash a stock ROM. Amy custom ROM will also do the job. Tried personally by me a month ago when my battery died a painfull death

Is it the same way if you want to go back to Android? Or do you need to flash winmo 6.5 first?

Hard Reset doesn't work even.
While reverting to WM 6.5 the ROM update happened but after 100% complete the device shut down and now its not starting, even tryied to hard reset.
What should i do now?

I flashed my phone to W7, did not like it and went back to WM6.5. I was running Android from SD card prior to W7, now back to WM6.5 and cannot run Android from SD card anymore, I believe it is a HSPL problem, I like the ROM I am running now, just want to be able to use Android from SD card, your thoughts? thanks in advance!

You have to reformat your SD card. WP7 formats your SD card with RAID format and you have to get it off your SD card. You xancdoca search to find formatting software that can remove the RAID format or buy a cheap micro SD to mini SD card adaptor. Putcyour SD card in the adaptor and then the adaptor in a digital camera and format it with the camera. Then format it with the Windows or some other format software with Fat 32. This will fix your problem.

Phone locks up on first update

Hello
I am following the guide to install the 7720 rom by means of updating via zune.
I flash V2 and perform all of the steps, then i went to upgrrade from 7000 to 7280 via zune, it gets half way through and then windows says 'USB device has malfunctioned' and the phone freezes, now when ever i boot into my phone it freezes.
Any way of trying again without having to re-flash the rom using magldr?
On magldr menu there is an option to hard reset, or should i reset using the vol buttons on startup?
Thanks

Just answered my own question.
Tried another USB cable and rom flash was 20x faster!! must have been a dodgy cable.... crappy ebay quality for you!

Okay, no i havent fixed the problem.
During the process of installing the update, it restarts the phone, then it restarts the phone again, except the second restart round, the phone locks up just afteer loading the wp7 rom, any ideas? its stuck on stage 8, restarting the phone.

Okay it seems to be going ok now, it was because i didnt do the Clear MBR SD thing and the 24MB thing, but i wont speak too soon like i did last time!

Hello,
I have the same problem, after the first zune update, the phone locks and I can't do anything... I did the 24MB thing and Clear MBR SD, I tried to use different SD Cards ( 2gigs and ADATA 16Gos Class 6) same problem...
Please Help!

I used both of these SD Cards on WP7, is it the reason why WM 6.5 does not detect both of these SD Cards (so I can't format them?)?

Tried to get an "old" version (NODO) working but I guess I will have another SD Card to buy... =/

The SD cards are locked and you need format them with an old Nokia. Magdlr, new Nokia's, Windows Mobile 6.5 or Windows Phone 7 won't work.
I have the same problem. Get a touch screen freeze when I'm updating thru Zune. Only way to recover my mobile is to remove my SD card. Then it boots and is working again.

Did u tried the whole process from
-flashing a stock WM6.5 rom,
-then install radio,
-install Magldr (24Nand trick, Clear MBR)
-install WP7 ??

Actually WM6.5 wont recognize your SD card, but WP7 will able to reformate & install.
Meanwhile if you want to use this SD card on Android or WM6.5, you won't be able to.
Unless u've a Nokia

I followed the original post of Yuxi and got stuck while I was updating to 7008. When I went to flash back to pre 7008 (dunno which version that is), I get an error (something about a usb-file that can't be found).
Now I'm flashing back to Windows Mobile 6.5 cause thats the only option that seems to work. Changed the radio also a couple of times but that didnt made a difference

Apparently for some HD2 users, the software "sdformatter" worked to get the SD Card working back, it didn't worked for me unfortunately.

Just tried with a brand new SD Card (Lexar 16Go), still freezes while zune updates and try to restart the device :-/.
I perfectly followed the different step, installing HSPL, WP 6.5, formatting SD Card, Radio, MAGLDR, Native Windows Phone 7, and then trying to update with Zune.
EDIT : I finally passed this step : I installed the v2 Yuki WP7 without SD Card, and updated with zune still without SD Cards. I finally reached the Nodo update (it took about 20 minutes) still without any SD Card. After that I inserted the SD Card and reinitialized the phone through "about phone". No problem so far. I'm going to try to install Mango.

[Q] [Touch Problem] after unlocking SD

Hey there,
finally I installed Mango. Marketplace and everything is working well.
Then i've installed "SD unlocking tool" and resized partions on my sd with
"DEV_EXTRAPART_7G.cab" to realize dualboot.
The Tool is working. My cardreader recognises the sd-card, but everytime I
want to boot wp7 I can't touch anything to insert my pin. Or without simcard I
can't click cancel or something else.
BUT: I turn OFF and ON 10 times, by dropping the battery, my hd2 get back all
functions. This isn't a solution and random
Anyone with me? Any idea? THX

excuse my english | i hope this is the right forum for this

now it happens every time by reboot :-/
sd-card problem, or maybe fix it with a new installation?

Hello all, i need some help. I bought used HTC HD2, phone was old for about 2 weeks in perfect condition but he had 2.2 froyo installed on micro sd.

I tryed everything im just not good enough with terms such as radio,SPL ect. so im noob at this. Pls help me somehow.Sorry for my bad english. Thank you

Hi there, I don't know fully how to do this myself (as I personally love android OS ) but I've found a couple of links that should help you out.
http://androidforums.com/htc-leo-hd...oid-2-2-reinstall-windows-mobile-6-5-3-a.html
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/08/15/how-to-restore-stock-rom-on-htc-hd2-video/
The ROM is basically the 'operating system' the phone uses, a radio controls how its hardware connects to things and as for SPL I don't know either
If you didn't install android on it yourself you might need to install a couple of things on your PC - the links will tell you what you need. Good luck!

If he had, as you said, installed Android on the SD card, then just reboot.

Nah because you said your friend installed Froyo on the SD, I assumed it was a dual boot with WinMo. What's the OS on the NAND? WinMo, WP7 or Android? And as icke pointed out, you'll need a small SD. If you're lucky, your friend may have the original 2GB SD which came with the phone, so you could try again using that one instead.
If the smaller SD doesn't work, are you sure that you're doing everything correctly? You do have leoimg.nbh on the root of your SD card, right?
