go on the Full ROMs list and find out which full ROM has your Radio on it.
download it, extract the NBH and separate it; rebuild it into an NBH with all the components your original was comprised of, flash it and you're done.
i have seperated the NBh files and im stuck there im not sure how im supposed to rebuild it. a little more direction please

Search the Forum for NBHGen...
um dont make this so hard... just go to www.htcamerica.net and download the official shipped rom and flash it to your phone before shipping it back!
edit
here is the exact link http://www.htcamerica.net/support/docs/ruu_hermes_1.34.502.1_1.16.00.00_wwe_cws_ship.exe
i also wanted to add that this will downgrade your radio in the process as well as give it the official shipped rom!
thank u all for the help. Just out of curiousity what is the difference in the one from HTC and the one on this site??

well if thats the case it didnt downgrade the 1.34 radio. will try to flash it again.
i tried the official release from HTC and that does the same thing. new rom same radio. still at 1.35
i have loaded nbhgen onto my computer but im not sure how to run it or how to compose the radio in the format it needs to be in. i have searched the forum but there arent any clear instructions on how to run nbhgen and then put everything back together
Note: I have searched through the forums looking for an answer.
I need to remove HardSPL and install the original Bootloader which I don't have a copy of, is there anyway I can extract the original boot loader from another PDA of the same model and then make a RUU of it to restore the phone to its original condition?
Look at http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
Once you have downgraded to spl 1.04 you can flash your factory original rom for your unit, if available. It will flash your original SPL and IPL.
Thanks for your help, I suggest this guide be put in the xda wiki
ANYONE can update the WIKI...have fun, help out.
This thread is a supplement to the HardSPL thread, in the unfortunate case that you need to return your phone to Stock specifications (including Stock SPL), and the SPL that came with your phone didn't happen to be the 1.90 version included in the HardSPL thread. I've included the few that I have here, and as I come across others, I'll add them to this post. If anyone else has other versions, feel free to post them here as well.
Each zip file includes the Stock SPL nbh file ONLY. In order to restore Stock SPL, you WILL need the HardSPL package from this thread.
SPL 1.95 - Extracted from AT&T HTC FUZE Stock ROM
SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)
SPL 5.08 - Extracted from AT&T HTC FUZE Test ROM
SPL 5.07 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English
SPL 1.90 (from HardSPL thread) - I added this one just so they're all in the same place.
EDIT: I have tired flashing several of these to my device with no success. It appears there is more that I need to do to extract these SPLs properly. In the meantime, I recommend that you use the 1.90SPL from the HardSPL thread for your warranty purposes. If you would then like to get the stock SPL on your device, re-flashing the stock ROM should accomplish that.
Thanks
Thank you so much. I have been looking for the 1.95 spl for weeks. In fact that was the only thing stopping me from flashing Da G's Windows mobile 6.5 ROM. Also could you send me a Pm with Instructions on how to flash the wm6.5 rom and the 1.95 spl.
Thanks.

Before we do that, let's stop there. If you want to flash Da_G's WM6.5 ROM, you need to have HardSPL on your device. You should only be flashing a stock SPL if you are returning your phone, for warranty reasons. Can you clarify what it is you're trying to do?
Also, have you reviewed this thread, so you know how to flash your phone properly?
Thanks for compiling this. Sticky time!

I have HardSPL and it says version 1.90Olinex. I think my stock was SPL 1.95 but i'm not sure. I have the ATT Fuze. I'm having a problem with the G-Sensor and need to send it back for replacement. Can anyone confirm that I need to flash 1.95 for ATT or anything else? Also If I have upgraded the radio, should I downgraded it before send back for replacement or its ok?
Thanks

When you flash the stock Fuze ROM, your radio will also be flashed. Be sure to follow the instructions in the Hard-SPL thread for returning your phone to stock specifications. When you get to the part about flashing back to Stock SPL for warranty purposes, the 1.95 SPL from the OP here is the one you should use (if you purchased your Fuze in the US after it was officially released - that's what mine came with).
Well, lucky me . I kept shaking the phone and my G-sensor works now. It was stuck on one side and would move. I think I will hold off with the return to stock for now, i really dont want to get refurb replacement.
Thanks for the reply.

Hey Captain,
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but for some reason the 1.95 SPL file doesn't work. The SPL remains as HardSPL. However, the Stock 1.90 SPL file provided by Onlinex does work. Any advice?
Thanks!

I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. I'll look into it. In the meantime, if you just re-flash the Stock ROM after flashing the 1.90 SPL, it should upgrade your SPL to 1.95 (since that's what's included with the Stock ROM). I'll try and figure out what I did wrong.
Great, I'll try it.

SPL extract attempts unsuccessful
I have tried to flash almost all of the stock SPLs I extracted, but I can't get any of them to flash using the HardSPL wrapper. I'm not sure that any of them will work. I've updated the first post with the only method that will probably work to restore stock SPL (unless someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried htcRIE, NBHExtract, NBHUtil, & yang, and while all of the SPLs I extracted appear to have been done successfully, when I try to flash them to my phone, none of them are working. I'm getting a connection error with the wrapper. Maybe its not the SPL, but an issue with my phone, I don't know.
At any rate, I believe this thread will probably not serve the purpose for which it was intended, and should perhaps be archived & closed.

As you already suggested, it's probably best to flash back to the stock 1.90 SPL following Onlinex's guide after which one should just install the stock ATT Rom or the other stock roms with the latest stock SPL. This worked for me.
Thanks!
About the stock SPL, i am not sure which is mine. As i am from Asia (Malaysia) , which one should i get?
1) SPL 5.05 - Extracted from Official HTC ROM (WWE)
or
2)Extracted from Official HTC ROM - Southeast Asia - Sintel-English

So as far as i understand, it is possible to flash 1.90 SPL to my device although it had 1.69 SPL as a default by T-Mobile!?
To your problem: shouldnt you just restore your stock Radio and stock OS before flashing stock SPL ?

First of all, if you need to restore your phone back to stock, as tvaril noted, you MUST first flash your stock ROM/radio. Once you do that, then you should flash the stock SPL (1.90) provided in the HardSPL thread using the method indicated there.Then, re-flash your stock ROM, and it should restore your stock SPL.

i believe you misunderstood his question. he's asking which SPL should he download given that he got his phone in malaysia
i believe that it should be the asia-singtel one. i'm in singapore, and that is the rom that was recently released for our devices. so my guess would be the singtel spl.
Anyone please confirm I am thinking right?
Here’s what I did:
1.From T-mobile.cz I got the factory Czech T-Mobile Rom (*.exe)
2. I extracted the *.exe with WinRar and got a bunch of files.
3. I took out RUU_Signed and extracted it with NBHtool and got 4 *.NB files:
769.nb
PrimarySplash.nb
SPL.nb
Windows.nb
4. In the meanwhile I extracted my original reconstructed Dutch T-Mobile RUU_Signed.nbh (confirmed working) and took the Windows.nb
5. From the Czech *.nb files I deleted the windows.nb and replaced it with my Dutch windows.nb
6. With htcRIE 0.5.0.12 I put the three Czech NB’s:769.nb (suppose radio), PrimarySplash.nb and SPL.nb together with The Dutch windows.nb together in New RUU_signed.nbh.
7. I put the newly created RUU_Signed back into the folder with files from step 2.
8. Using Winrar I stuffed ala these files together in an *.sfx file that has an instruction saying that after extracting the sfx it should start RomUpdateUtility.
9. So far so good! I clicked the sfx and it would nicely extract and start the Czech RomUpdateUtility. The utility being Czech is no problem as I/we have been using it probably a sillion times and don’t read it.
10. Now I don’t have the guts to test it on my Dutch MDA Vario IV JJ but want to know wether this would work in case of RMA.
I remember that the Dutch factory ROM-upgrade for T-Mobile Vario III (Kaiser) would restore everything: SPL, Splash etc) By doing the above I somehow think I have re-created sort of a Dutch “factory” ROM upgrade that will restore everything back to stock.
Suppose this works, will I be able to go back to Hard SPL a second time? (heard some rumors...)
I want you guys to know that I don’t have any education in ICT but consider myself smart enough to figure things like this out . However… I am not too sure about what I have created.
Thnx. For any kind of feedback.
Am willing to upload this for people who want to try.
Free Rapidshare (10 downloads) if needed I will put it in my FTP.
Was it not in The raphael original shipped ROM wiki?
Also if it would help, I think I still have the files backed up at home somewhere. If you want I could look for it.

It was but when reading the thread that goes with it I get serious doubts about that one working well
I have them backed up as well but I never dumped the splash, radio and more important the SPL. and everyone is talking about SPL's lately but no one can answer me wether one of the offered solutions is a working one.
So I was thinking to sort of creating a oneclick solution for whenever a RMA occures to me again
Was this a dumb question?

If you were able to download a factory ROM directly from your Carrier's website, then it would include everything you need to return your device to stock.
Then, all you would have to do is follow the instructions in the Hard-SPL thread to install the stock SPL (if you've flashed Hard-SPL), and then re-flash the factory ROM you downloaded to restore the original SPL.

There is no Dutch T-Mobile factoryrom.. that is the first thing I checked of course even before I had my first Vario IV at home.
And I still think somehow to remember that flashing the stock T-Mobile to my old Kaiser did flash the stock SPL as well... however I am starting to have doubts now..
Besides I haven't found anyone yet confirming that the Stock T-Mobile SPL from the Stock SPL thread actually works...
And the thingy I created should flash back stock radio and splash.. would you know of any safe way to test this Captain_Throwback??

I don't know of any "safe" way, no. I have no confidence that the Stock SPL from the stock SPL thread will work, either - that's why I had that thread closed. After you flash the stock SPL from the Hard-SPL thread, you risk bricking your phone if you try flashing a created ROM to it (even if it is created from parts of stock ROMs).
If you have a stock SPL on the phone, its possible that the extracted SPLs from that thread will actually work; but I'm already on my second phone, so I'm not willing to risk trying it.

That's my issue since tuesday I am dealing with my second raph as well the other one was only a couple of weeks old. The mobo burned and they were not able yet to recover anything. But I have set my goals on a working recoverymethod.
Too bad you had your thread closed as it was going somewhere good. and people not reading or trying unconfirmed things take their own risks as this is a development area.
Would you reconsider asking NATF to reopen it and change the topicname?

Well, I think any future conversation on the whole "flashing back to stock" can be carried on in JZ SmartMort's thread with the instructions on how to do that. He also explains in there why none of the SPLs that I extracted will ever overwrite Hard-SPL. Unless Olipro or cmonex enlighten us on how they were able to modify that 1.90 SPL to overwrite the Hard-SPL, that's the only one that'll ever work.
I did see you posted in that thread, but I think if you really NEED a different SPL than one that's in an existing stock ROM, that if you PM Olipro or cmonex, one of them may be able to help you.

edit: cewl it had the splash I wanted inside.
Had the guts to flash...
...and it works. Exept from SPL...
Next step will be flashing this after OLi en cmonex' only for warranty SPL 1.90..
Just wonder wether I will be able to flash back to Hard SPL after this....
Anuone has an idea??

If you're able to successfully flash your Franken-ROM w/stock SPL to your phone after flashing the 1.90 warranty SPL, your phone still works, and you can connect to a computer using Activesync or Mobile Device Center, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to re-flash Hard-SPL onto your device. The key words in that sentence are "if" and "successfully" . . .

Yep...
those are the keywords
Due to display flickering issue which is worse and worse from day to day. I decided to restore stock rom for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV to make a complain.
My device is Security Unlocked, with different Radio and ROM so i would like to know if my steps for reverting is ok. I do not want to make my device bricked!!
I have EXE file with ROM from T-Mobile www which includes all like SPL, RADIO, ROM etc.
So my conclusion what i have read is that i have to:
1) restore stock Radio
2) remove security lock
3) remove Hard-SPL
4) flash stock ROM from EXE file i have already downloaded. It will overwrite 1.90 SPL to 1.69 which was my default and overwrite ROM too.
Can anyone experienced with this stuff tell me if i am right? thank a lot.
With the steps you have listed you will be good to go. Just follow your steps and you are good.

I am not a noob i have read this many times, so i know what is the "official" routine. But this (official) routine was, i think made, for people who had no choice (as me with original exe) and they had to dump their ROM first, and than reconstruct part by part. And because the dumped ROM will never be CID safe, they had this tutorial 1. Radio, 2. OS, 3. SPL and it rally does make sense for me.
But i am lucky, because my operator (T-Mobile) shipped the device with EXE, which contains all the stuff (Radio, SPL, OS, RUU) and it is directly for my CID. So that is why i think my tutorial in the first post will work. And i think it should work though if i only remove Security unlock and Hard-SPL. Because it will overwrite all partitions in device even restored Radio, OS etc.
So am i right ?
your right and to save you step dont worry bout radio removal since its in the stock rom pack like u said just load the 1.90 for warrenty in the hard spl thread and relock your phone as an extra precation(some carriers care some dont) the run the exe and ure golden
ps. PimBackup is your friend (just in case u forgot)

Dear not a noob,
You asked a question, and you were given the "official" routine. If you knew the "official" routine, and you were going to do it your way anyway, it kinda makes your question unnecessary. I remind you that you are not the only person who reads these forums. In fact more than a hundred have read this thread. Some of these people "noobs" or not may want to know the "official" routine.
I personally don't care what you do or where you put your phone. But if anyone reading this thread follows the official routine they will not have any problems.
I understand why people don't like answering questions in these forums. No good deed etc etc......

you did not understand my question. That is all that i can say about it. I know about official routine to restoring stock defaults, but i was asking if my routine could lead me to same result. Because as from what i have learned in this forum this routine should lead me to the same result more easier way because i have RUU with stock ROM direct for my CID.
Your way i have to first extract nbh image from exe. Second i have to extract each nb from nbh. Third i have to make nbh from each nb, radio is not necessary, because it is already here. And for fourth my SPL is 1.69.0000 which is different from SPL contained in the Hard-SPL removing pack and it does not work for me just to replace the SPLs. And until now i did not find out why. Someone few months ago told me that i can use the SPL from Hard-SPL removing pack (1.90.0000 i think) and then overwrite it with my stock ROM package, which will restore my stock SPL and Radio, OS again as well. So official routine works for those who had to dump their ROM to backup their stock ROM, those who were not as lucky as me to have stock ROM with RUU for their CID. This procedure, i personaly think is OK, is not covered here on the forum, and that is why i was aking for blessing from someone more involved in this problmes...is it ok now?
PS: anything i can flash after removing Security Lock and Hard-SPL is my stock ROM and that is what i have. So it should work if there are not some any other things which i have missed somewhere!

bah dont worry bout them crackheads say i can speak from experience that your way work since thats exactly what i did last week only att exe pack and it did overite the 1.90 stock spl,changed to 1.95 in my case,like u say along with the radio and os. only diferance is i never security unlocked my phone sincei was happy with the raphel radios . now im happy with my new(well refurblished ) fuze.
p.s. i had defective screen too incase you were wondering
Everybody play nice
Ok, that being said, since you have the "official" exe from your Carrier, all you really have to do is:
Run the .exe from your Carrier - this will replace the stock Radio, ROM, and boot splash.
Install the warranty stock SPL 1.90 from the Hard-SPL thread (using the Hard-SPL RUU, of course).
Re-run the .exe from your Carrier, which will overwrite the 1.90 SPL with the stock version.
Other methods will likely work too, but IMHO, that's the easiest .

Are you sure that running EXE for the first time, before removing Hard-SPL, will not corupt the device ?

Positive. That's actually how I used to "flash to stock" in between custom ROM flashes.
