Help: Want to revert back to an old ROM - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi
I just got me a new I-Mate And upgraded to the new ROM I-mate 1.72
The problem is as everyone have noticed already is with the cleartype fonts and that the device keeps on Hard resetting randomly.
So I wonder if theres a way to revert back to an old ROM version to get rid of all problems?
Help?

If you'd like to downgrade, have a look at this thread, http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61.
There is another way to get rid of the clear type problem.
1. Download ace_ddi.dll from Here http://test.zyberlee.com/tzdn/files/ace_ddi.dll.
2. Replace the old one on your device window directory with this one.
3. Softreset, then you will see.

thanks alot!
I'll try to follow the steps in the link and see how it goes through

Sorry, but the way posted in the link to downgrade didnt work.
And I ended up in the bootloader screen
Luckily I have backed up my ROM

I did not have any problem during the downgrading process (Tmobile 1.70 > O2 Asia 1.60), so could you please tell me exactly what you have done? Thanks

I was doing exactly what the link was saying. And I was trying to downgrade from imate 1.72 to O2's 1.6 asia
perhaps the bootloader version has got something to do with this?
mine is v1.06
Thanks for your concern

Same thing here. Bootloader 1.06 and no ability to downgrade to 1.60 ROM. But I am very happy with 1.72 i-MATE ROM and ClearType fix

Bootloader USB v 1.06
Hi,
I tried too to downgrade and now I'm stuck in the bootloader with only USB v1.06 on my XDA II screen.
Can someone tell me how to get out of this bootloader screen?
Thanks and
Merry Christmas to you all.

just connect your PDA to the cardle and upgrade to either ROM 1.66 or 1.72 in your bootloader mode
good luck

correct. it requires to be able to flash the radio stack in order to unlock it, but the radio stack of that new rom seems to be read only and flashing another radio stack is not possible at this time.
I could not find in google as well but get somewhere else with slighly different filename. Not sure the same one or not. Can somebody please confirm,

It's possible.
Hello I'm french, first sorry for my bad english.
I just bought a V1605 from england that I have immediatly unlocked.
I have tested French qtek ROM 1.18.256... but it's very slow and there are many bugs, after that I have tested a WWE qtek ROM 1.18.416... with bootloader 1.06 just for see if TCPMP was better and it is!
But I wanted the last Qtek ROM, so I have put the original ROM of my vodafone in order to downgrade bootloader to 1.04, it's very simple!
Then I've installed the latest QTEK ROM 1.35 with bootloader 1.09, and now after few very fast manipulations , I have bootloader 1.04 and radio 1.20.
So I can test every ROMs I think...
For the moment, I can see that this ROM (1.35) is very fast, and TCPMP works better but for the video it is the same than vodafone 1.20 or tytn 1.18.416 .

After downgrading to 1.04 and doing all the upgrades, is there any reason to reupgrade 1.04 to a more current boot rom?
hi there,
seems i`m not able to downgrade after after flashing the 1.35 rom. my bootloader remains 1.09 and the downgrade_spl (1.8mb rar) tool doesn`t work properly. i always have to recover my device when i try to run the upgrade. is there something i do wrong or is my downgrade_spl the wrong one?
thanks jammerlappen

Hermes Downgrading help please

My T mobile branded Vario II fell off my lap yesterday (in its case) Theres not a scratch on it and its only 4months old. Later on i had loads of missed calls and then realised it wont ring or vibrate or play mp3's.
Im currently running one of HTC's Roms, SPL-1.09 is my bootloader and im not sure how to reflash with the original T-mobile rom before i head back to the shop to see about a replacement
I keep getting a invalid vendor id, and from reading posts on the forums i know i need to do something with the cid so i can flash back down to the original rom.But im getting confused between a super cid and a cid? as what ive found below just mentions cid and not super cid.
Is this the file i need? HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a ? i just run the .bat file then install the orginal t mobile rom as normal?
What im basically asking is the above right to ahead with? as i just need some reassurance as if i cant blag one under warranty then ill have to use my insurance which as its my second claim in 6 months has a excess of £60
Yes i have looked on the forums for hours but cant see any info.
Thanks in advance should anyone help
EDIT well ive run the unlocker and supercid'd it but it still wont let me flash with the original t mobile rom?
ERROR:260 Update Error
im getting the above error?
Is all I will say is click on the mrvanx guide in my signature.

Hi Gavin01,
Good luck with the downgrade - I'd be interested to know how it goes. I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, and so far I've put HardSPL 7 and Radio ROM 1.41 onto it. I'm just trying to decide which WM6 ROM I want to try out
Anyway, I have at the back of my mind that I don't really know how to downgrade it in the case of a warranty claim. The MrVanx guide to downgrading WM5 looks ok, but I'd love to know how to put the radio rom back (I guess this would just be the reverse of the upgrade), but then finally taking taking HardSPL off. In fact I'd vote for a guide on it - would write it myself but I have to confess I'm rather a newbie to the world of HTC upgrades....
Cheers,
sparky
I have the same problem
I´d like to downgrade to original softbank settings. But they only accept warranty issues if you have the original cid? , right?
So putting the old rom back on is not my problem, "un-super-cid" it is.
I need help please too
Hello,
please excuse, but i have a question and i will not open a new threat.
I use tytn. I have installed the Radio Version 1.40 and the Black 3.01 Rom. I have used HardSPL and when i go into the bootloader i have Herm200 IPL 1.04 and Herm200 SPL 2.10 OliPro. My question is: it is not possible to go back to wm5 with the installer RUU Hermes 1.18....-Qtek_Ger_Ship. Because in this installer is a Radio Rom. When i will use it, i lost my Radio and i have No GSM. The only way to go back is with MrVanx Hermes downgrade guide. Is this correctness ??
( This is what i think after using the help-function and the wiki )
When this is right, so Please Please, can a specialist please build a litte .exe-File so that i can make a downgrade to my mw5? Sorry, i am not idle, i am not able to to this. And please excuse my english. I will say say thank you very very much for your helping. With the best regards from Berlin say Christian

How To: Remove HardSPL

In the unfortunate event that you need to revert back to your carrier's official rom to send your device in for service or an exchange, with HardSPL installed on your device you will be unable to do this as technically it voids your warranty. Fortunately there is a solution to this.
the-equinoxe said:
You can flash the ROMs with the RUU in the ROM package, should you have trouble with upgrading, try Mun's RUU (thanks for the tip Boto).
So no need to downgrade before upgrade anymore.
But don't flash ROMs containing IPL/SPL. -(This means do NOT flash an official Rom)

There is one way to revert back to an Official Rom should you need to though.
In order to flash an Official Rom again, you will need to remove HardSPL because flashing an Official Rom with an IPL/SPL with the patched SPL already installed, you will find yourself in the possession of a very expensive paperweight.
To remove HardSPL, you will just need to follow these simple instructions:
1. Download SoftSPL by the-equinoxe.
2. Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier(attached below)
3. Extract SoftSPL to its own folder and then extract the nk.nbf file from the correct IPL/SPL to the SoftSPL folder.
4. Run Start-sSPL.exe and follow the simple directions. It is almost fully automated(your screen will turn white during the flashing process and it will appear to have crashed. This is normal so just proceed like normal)
5. HardSPL should now be removed if everything worked properly. Depending on your device and Carrier, download the appropriate Rom for your device:
T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom
AT&T 8125 Official WM5 Rom
Vodafone Qtek 9100 Official WM5 Rom
Orange SPV M3000 Official WM5 Rom
O2 XDA Mini S Official WM5 Rom
6. Flash the Rom you just downloaded. There you have it. You have successfully removed HardSPL and reverted back to your carrier's latest rom and restored the CID lock.
Please be aware, I take NO responsibility if someone were to use the files provided in this tutorial incorrectly and damage their phone.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Credits go to the-equinoxe for developing SoftSPL and making this possible.
Nice tutorial.
I have linked the Hard SPL thread to your topic.

Awesome. Thanks!
Hum... just a quick question:
I own a Qtek 9100 from Vodafone here in Portugal... if I would flash those G4 IPL/SPL, wouldn't that mess up my IPL/SPL country ID?
Also, it would make it impossible to flash an Vodafone PT official update (they never released one or I would flash it but anyway...), right?
Is there anyway of getting the IPL/SPL from another Wizard that hasn't been CID Unlocked and dump it so that I would give it to you, so that we can start a database of CID Locked G4 IPL/SPL's, just in case someone needs to send it back to factory for repairing?
Guess it was a lot of questions

Thanks.. I sent my imei + number to you.. Now I can finally revert back to the original rom and sell!

Actually, you can use ANY G4 IPL/SPL pack, and then reflash to your original carriers ROM.
Just put it into bootloader, kill wcescomm.exe, and flash.

i already opened a thread about this and noone seems to be answering the question.. i am afraid my device is ruined already and most likely because of the new spl.. i am so upset.. the whole device is acting wierd, i even went back to ap3 and still having the same problems.. it seems to be the spl coz nothing else changed! i want to flash stock rom. any idea how to go back to normal???
Guess, all bros here prefer we have our device upgraded then otherwise.
I too encountered the bootloader loop after executing the AnthenaUpdater.
Best of all I cannot load AP4 and I cannot goto activesync mode.
Seeing the bootloader screen tell me there is hope, so next.
I flash AP3newspl by cmonex, http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
Not sure I re-flashed the AP3 rom, sorry, quite excited during the recovery process.
As soon as I get to see AP3, I continue instructions as prompted on screen until I have the
Activesync running. Once the sync is stable and established good connection with pc,
I immediately proceed and re-try flashing AnthenaUpdater.
It finally flashed the AP4 rom. The princess found the frog.
I hope my little experience may of help to you. Cheers.
I;ve also learn to leave the usb cable connected for a little longer to ensure all activities are completed.
hi, me too
I felt ap4.0 maybe is slow so i tried to go back to 7510(or 7501) original rom but stopped at loading..... scene
So i tried tried and flashed ap3.0 rom and t-mobile ...... but everytime rebooting device is starting as hardresetted.
Never come back to original rom never go to ap 4.0
so after rebooting ,as above posting, while activesync is active, I ran apupdater but the bootloader didn't come but hard restting_after scene so ap 3.0 or 7501 rom was starting....
desperatly, as soon as updater was finalized and before bootloader started, I pressed down volume_key+camera key +soft reset hole....
manually loading bootloader...
I succeeded in flashing ap 4.0
And felt good operating.
Everybody can experience this case .
This is from spl ver. I think.
^^
As far as you willingly go back to ap 4.0, your device will remain beatiful athena.
I think some explanations needed......
Is this my own world's case?
.......................................afraid.......

Really everyone should read this and all the info available before you flash!
as you have found out, there is no way to revert to the old SPL yet!
I downgraded to AP3 Old SPL, It runs fine. However, I got the following error with other Roms downgrade:
"FOUND SPL V1.20
DOWNLOAD SPL BEFORE V3.03 IS NOT ALLOWED"
What does it mean?
It means, as has been said MANY times before, if you upgrade to AP4 you CANNOT downgrade to anything except the hacked AP3.

What the heck is that you've linked to?
Why didn't you read before upgrading? It was made quite clear that this was a now ROM that required a new SPL and could not be downgraded. Olinex has since made a version of AP3 that you can downgrade to and in future a full downgrade path will be available. It is not available yet.

Needing Downgrade - Waiting Patiently
First off - the AP4 is an excellent Rom - Great work! Thanks!!!! I was an early adaptor and unfortunately my headphone jack shorted out my internal speakers and now of course trying to reflash to the original HTC wm6 shipped rom so I can submit it to warranty, I found the dreaded spl-v3.50 not acceptable warning. Yes, we were forewarned about this (though I confess I missed it). So I URGE any of you who are still under warranty NOT TO UPGRADE to AP4 until Olipro benovolently provides us a true downgrade path to the factory roms or you are absolutely positive you don't want to make a waranty claim. If you are not under warranty - I highly recommend AP4. If you are under warranty I highly recommend staying with AP3 as you can downgrade AP3 to the original factory roms.
My two cents worth as I wait patiently for Olipros downgrade path to the original roms - and I will be donating handsomely for this...
hello
any progress from the dev team ? it is a great rom but for sale our athena it is best to downgrade and to instal a shipped rom...

are yiu sure this isn't just the problem that has affected just about every HTC phone and is easily fixed by poking either the headphone jack in and out a few times or wigling a matchstick/paperclipin the hole?
No need for a waranty claim!

Not only from HTC, I encountered it with Atom and HP6828 device as well.
Poking to correct the contact may help but do not apply too much force.
The jack cannot be replaced individually, whole main board have to go,
as I learned from the service centre.

Help with updating

Hi all
I am new to this website and would like to update my NIKI100 HTC Touch Dual P5500 to WM6.1 - but I want to be able to revert back if there is a problem.
I have downloaded an OEM ROM RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe
Mine is currently WM6 Pro (Build 18128.0.4.4) and is an unlocked phone...
ROM: 1.31.710.13
ROM Date: 03/14/08
Radio Version: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
Firstly, is the ROM I downloaded the english one? I am in Australia, so will any English ROM work? Is the one I downloaded WM6.1 and how can I tell before installing?
Reading through the forum it appears I need to install hardspl prior to doing any changes - is that correct?
If the whole thing goes horribly wrong and the phone doesn't start, how do I get it back to a working ROM? I am fearful of having a broken phone and being unable to get it functioning again.
Sorry for all the noob questions, just want to know what I need to do before I start.
Thanks

Reading through the forum it appears I need to install hardspl prior to doing any changes - is that correct?

Good insurance to prevent the SPL from being overwritten accidentally. You'll need HardSPL 1.22 if you want to install later ROMs.
If the whole thing goes horribly wrong and the phone doesn't start, how do I get it back to a working ROM?

With HardSPL installed, turn off phone (eg take battery out and then replace it). Hold down camera button and turn phone back on. This will drop it into bootloader mode. You can connect it to your PC via a USB cable and flash another ROM.
