[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.

HTC HD2 rom change with non working screen

Hello Everyone.
TBH im my opinion you guys are my last hope to fixing my hd2.
So here's the problem.
I have a HD2 that turns on but does not have a functioning touc screen.
ABOUT MY PHONE:
HTS HD2
Has old android in it ( I dont know which one it is, but i can describe it. It starts up with a BootLoader asking to boot android, so i have the option to press yes or no. It has old blue theme in the background.
Here's the problem. I've called HTC support and i learn my phone still has manufacturers warranty. So basically i can just send in the phone, and ill id have to pay is shipping. BUT! here's the problem. HTC does not approve of third party software installed in the phone, in my case it is the ANDROID. So now im trying to wipe android put, and install windows mobile again. I downloaded the t-mobile stock rom and when i plug in my phone, the windows mobile center automatically pops out but it shows an error symbol.
TL;DR
So my question to you guys is how do i remove Android and install Windows Mobile on an HTC HD2 with a non working screen
Thank you so much guys for even considering to help me
Mod if i posted on the wrong section could you please move it for me.
Thanks

Thanks so Much But here's an update
I went ahead and downoaded the HSPL3
I turned on my phone and also pressing the voulme down button which brought to me to a red green and white color. I had my phon conneceted to the computer VIA USB. I first double clicked the T-Mobile rom update thingy and went ahead accpeted the warning signs etc,so the first thing that came up was identifying phone, and after 5 seconds it disappears so nothing came fro that, then later i double clicked the HSPL3 which asked me to either pick the 2.8 or the the 2.8 spl i believe, i had the spl installed so i wen ahead clicked the 2.8. it installed and my phone rbooted and BAM my touch screen worked, and when it asked to boot android i pressed NO. my phone rebooted and iagain the boot loader came up and asked to bott android, so this time i pressed BUt it didnt work because the touch screen stopped working!
So i went ahead to try everything all over but this time i clicked the 2.8 spl and after a minute on my phone it displayed " we hacked it" etc etc etc, i robooted my phone, ad it worked, i turned it on and off twice and it worked i was using my phone after a month So after playing with it alittle bit i decided to put my sim card in it. I turned off the phone and put the Sim card and turned on the phone so i can use it but.....once again the touch screen stopped working... ****!!!!!!

yep, now the touchscreen is once again not working

Download a stock WM ROM for your phone, extract and rename your .nbh to leoimg.nbh. Transfer leoimg.nbh. to your SDcard.....enter bootloader mode....there it will flash back to your WM ROM with all HSPL remove. Time to send back to Manufacturer for repair..

Okay hold on. So when you see stock WM ROM coud that be the "T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_311...." file? and where can i find my .nbh file?

Download the stock Windows Mobile ROM for your particular device (TMOUS, Telestra, etc.) and rename the ruu_signed.nbh to LEO_IMG.nbh and put it on an sd card of 4gb or less. Put the sd card in your HD2 and power it on while holding the volume down (vol -) button the entire time it's starting until you enter into bootloader (tri-color screen). The leo_img.nbh should be detected shortly and then you will be prompted to press a certain button to flash the new ROM. Once it's done, you will have stock WM 6.5 and the stock bootloader back on your phone, ready to ship off for repairs.
Just make sure and find the correct stock ROM for your device, or you will be sorry. If you flash a EU ROM to a TMOUS HD2 for example, it will brick the device. Look in the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 stickies and you will surely find a link to stock ROMs to download.

Thank you Mr. huggs u made my night

No problem, glad I could help

[Q] Reverting back to windows 6.5

Hi
I currently have w7 on my htc hd2 and im trying to revert back to win 6.5.
ive downloaded this stock rom RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.43.110.2_Radio_Signed_15.26.50.07U_.
Phone booted into USB Flasher (Hold Power down, Option 5, End call Button.
But it sits at Wait Usb....USB and doesnt move.
What am i doing wrong??
Please help?
Thanks

You need to enter bootloader. Shutdown phone and power on while holding volume down. It will be the tri color screen. Attach USB then run 6.5 rom update
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Another option would be to flash the ROM via SD card method.
This way, everything will be set back to factory status.

indeed, you should always use SD method when going back to stock, it will correct most issues and will bring your phone back to how it was when you got it, remember to install HSPL again if you intend to tinker with it some more, SD flash will remove Magldr and HSPL and will also change the radio, spl and ROM
search the forums for how to SD flash, theres plenty of them, infact most of them would have came up in the "suggestions of previously started threads" box when you make this thread!

flashing via bootloader is more reliable, sometimes flashing via sd image is not recognised.

lol, says you
ive had issues previously releasing the keys at a certain time to get the "image" to be recognised, but it does work.
Call me old fashioned, but ive been flashing via bootloarder for many years, sometimes old habits are hard to beat lol
Anyway, both work, take your choice

Hi to all,
I am a noob , i tried to install Android on my HTC HD2 TMO(US) , but after all the Installation i was getting an Error 1E Fatal Error , i am trying to atleast revert back to Windows 6.5, so i downloaded the Official ROM Upgrade from the WebSite the name is T-Mobile_HD2_MR_Software_2.13.531.1.exe and it installed properly without any errors, but all i can see is White Screen Now, does this Installation include OS also or should i install windows 6.5 seperately, please help me

Major problems while installing different rom

Hello there!
I got HD2 today, it has windows installed on it and its Swedish.
Ive spent half of day trying to get it done but nothing worked.
I cant install HSPL to go on with the installation, Ive tried everything.
I connect my HD2 to PC and activesync does its work, I can see my mobile phone connected, adding new files works both on local and sd storage.
The problem comes in when I try to install HSPl so I could flash my phone and continue with the installation. Whenever I start HSPL isntallation my HD2 losses its connection with the PC and nothing happens. What could be the problems.
Whats the easiest workaround for this? I really want to install the android os on my phone, I dont like the windows one.
(I have searched the forums, nothing helped me)
MY DEVICE:
ROM v 1.o
Radio T8585
1024Mhz Cpu
Ram 576 Mb
Nand 1024 Mb
32 bit bus
Win mobile 6.5 pro
16 Gb mem card
Is there any other way to install android? Anything?
----------------------------------------------------
So I have tried doing same things today. I tried entering the bootloader using vl down and power up, ol down and reset key, left arrow and power key and the phone just starts my windows nothing. But when I press vl up, dwn and pwr key I get into 4 colour mode and it give me error: Copying file from SD card failed, system will shut down.
I will try to play around it a little bit, maybe try nativeSD somehow, but I dont think Ill manage anything. Help
----------------------------------------------------
When I use clrcad and haret on SDc it starts booting linux, progress bar goes to the end and stays there. Every time. Ive been waiting for some time for it to boot, but it jsut stays there.

Is there a way to get rid of this windows mobile crap easily? Do you think that mobile shops are willing to do this sort of stuff for you?

Try installing HSPL from the bootloader.Turn off phone, hold volume down rocker and boot up.

Cant get into the bootloader, as said. I dont know why & whats causing it, but nothing is working as it should be

There are many, you need to search for them. I don't know which will work for you.

No help there, its still the same, no bootloader, nothing.

I cant seem to find fastboot anywhere in my settings.
+ My mobile is whole Swedish, I dont understand a thing, but I do manage to get around, but I still cant find fastboot like the one poster said that it might be the problem.
Im not sure whats the problem in the end. I feel that this phone is somehow locked, wont let me do such stuff, but I might be wrong, Im not really the kind of guy thats interested in developing phones, so I dont know most of stuff. Hope some more advices might come in.

Wait.. If it's swedish, why not go into settings and change language to yours (or to English)?
Also, you said "no help there". You mean the windows mobile application didn't let you boot into bootloader? I am quite sure you didn't even try it. It should work, trust me
But the question is: Once you're in the bootloader, and get rid of Windows Mobile, how are you going to go into bootloader again? (since there's no longer an app, or windows to RUN that app)

Well, for the language, I have been trying to change it, but I dont think its possible + Ive found multiple threads on forums about changing lng on windows mobile phone and they said that its not possible.
And for the bootloader, its not working. Seriously, I have been trying to do it for 2 days now. Using buttons, using random apps Ive found here on forums and none of them got me into the bootloader (expect the VL UP, VL DWN, PWR pressed together, which got me into four colour screen (which should be bootloader if Im right), but it turns off straight away if not connected with usb cable. If it is connected it stays at error as said in my first post). I wish I could get rid of the windows somehow so the bootloader would ask me for another rom or however that works, Im not much into it as said.

I somehow managed to get past the verifying the usb connection for HSPL installation, progress bar shows but it goes nowhere & after some time appears this error

No, that combination should get you into hard resetting your device and not into bootloader. Even if it does get you into the bootloader for a fraction of unit time, it won't allow you to flash anything. Volume down only is to get into bootloader
What happens when you follow this post? And by "what happens" I mean what error EXACTLY do you see?

I have tried that thing yesterday. Didnt work. Tried it right now - it does nothing. I run the app and my phone just goes black (like when you tap the power button, lock or something) and it will stay like that without doing anything until i tap the pwr button to unlock it. Nothing really happens

I want to advise you install a ROM from sd card using the LEOIMG.nbh method. But I am not sure which ROM is for which device. (I never actually flashed my phone from sdcard). That might make the bootloader boot up (?). Also, can you confirm that the volume rockers work fine under windows mobile?
To be honest, I am out of solutions. We should wait for other people's.
Sorry I couldn't help.

No problem man, thank you for trying.
Yes, my vol buttons work jsut fine, its just the thing I cant get into the bootloader, no matter which way I try.
LEOIMG method needs bootloader too, right? Or does it go with the clrcad and haret method? Haret doesnt work for me, starts booting stuff and than jsut stays at it

do exactly as i say and tell me what happens:
remove battery
remove sd card
plug in to pc via usb
hold volume down
put battery in
now you should be seeing the tricolor bootloader, right?

I have no SD card slot, I think Its hidden somewhere under since its reading it both on PC & phone.
I have tried doing it without the sd card removal but nothing happens.
Where could I look for the sd card, its not on any side, its not under the battery, its not udner the other 2 romovables

UPDATE:
So I have opened my HD2 up and foudn the sd card under and I have removed it. DId everything you said and still nothing, my HD2 just boots up normally. No bootloader or anything. It seems like my bootloader is hidding somewhere

I knew it!! I was going to say it might be fake, but deleted that line for some reason. Anyway, with those double sims trays, it's definitely a clone (unfortunately). How much did you pay for it?
Edit: Nope, not that much that can be done with a clone. You'd be lucky if you were able to even change the Windows Mobile ROM.

Got it for free, my aunt gave it to me. I dont know how much she paid for it. So I should leave it as it is, there is no possible way to change it?

As far as I know (and as my searching abilities go) no, you can't do much. I hope someone proves me wrong.
