Hi @ all...
so time has come i will return my phone to tmobile, because of the heavy problems with the slide-out-keyboard. i tried to solve my keyboard-problems with the orignal shipped rom, but i realised that it doesn't matter which rom i flash to my phone, the problem seems to be of hardware-ish nature...
so now my problem is: i want to fall back to the original state...
i want original IPL,SPL,OS,Radio, Boot, etc etc...
i tried to flash the "Original Shipped TMOB101" from the wiki, it flashed nice with CustomRUU...the original flash utility couldn't find my phone.
so i unpacked the exe and flashed the nbh with CustomRUU... flashed nicely, but didn't boot... first problem: whitescreen, second: hang on windows mobile screen, third: NOGSM... tried to flash newer GSM 1.43. this worked nice then, but isn't original... any idea how to get the 1.05.02 radio running? tried to reflash the complete tmobile nbh again, same result.
tried to flash with Vista, and also with XP, nothing changed...
next problem i assume is: how to downgrade SPL? and how to detect Bootversion? could it be, that i flashed some newer boot in between, because, i have always flashed newest radio roms, could it be that i flashed a boot together with a certain radio?
hope someone can help me... my device is also simunlocked, i hope they do not recognize it at tmobile. but i want to get everything else into original state before returning.

There is now an official wm6 update which you can use
it's available here:

If you're wondering if it's properly been released, it's also available on the t-mobile business site.
Shaks
shaks1979,
I have just been to the tmobile business site and I cannot find the WM6 update - please can you post a link to it?
many thanks,
Paul
the german t-mobile site dies not offer to download the upgrade yet.
flashed the new WM6 from t-mobile yesterday, and it works really great, but my keyboard isn't functional anyway...
has anyone an idea how to enable the flash-utility to overwrite the SPl and IPL? because my tri-color-screen reads IPL-1.01 and SPL-2.10-Olipro and this means, both of them have not been updated... any way to overwrite these rom-sections with the now tmobile ones?
so when finished upgrading (IPL and SPL have to be upgraded before i can go on) i will return my phone to a tcom store, they have to bother with my keyboard issue... my phone isn't a half year old by now... keyboard issues like this shouldn't be there i assume
greetings
and thanks for the new wm6 links.

Extract the nbh file from the T-Mobile ROM and flash it with CustomRUU. This will overwrite IPL / SPL
[...see reason]
which settings do i have to use with CustomRUU? do i have to select same radio-buttons as always? (SPL 2.10-Olipro/Is it HardSPL) ?
okay, so i found the option via try and error i had to use use: Force UNSAFE SSPL.
i have another question now:
as far as i know, t-mobile DE has not released this ROM to its customers via their website, so i have to flash my phone back to WM5 original rom, and bootloaders, because this new tmobile rom didn't make my problems with the keyboard go away.
my local store told me that they will send the device back to tmobile, and tmobile then will repair or exchange the device.
so if they send it back to tmobile, i uess i have to put it into original state, haven't i? cause flashing the rom causes loss of warranty, doesn't it? i hope they will not recognize, that i sim-unlocked it (did not touch the CID).
problem occurring: i extracted the nbh from the original shipped-archive and flashed it with CustomRUU but when booting NO GSM shows up, and windows stops booting during first bootsplash... sometime during second bootsplash... any idea? might it be that it was like this, because of olipros 2.10 SPL?

I wonder why you SIM unlocked your device?
The German Hermes never was SIM locked, so, there was no need to unlock it!
You will either have to Soft-CID-unlock or Hard-CID-unlock your device if you want to flash it otherwise it won't work!
What settings are you talking about? You simply copy the nbh file to the CustomRUU folder and run the UPDATE UTILITY in there! There are no settings, it works the same way as the utilities from shipped ROMs - simply follow the instructions on screen and do not plug out nor touch the device until the job is done!
So actually it is not a hermes, it is a MDA Vario 2 from tmobile, isn't it?
partly you're right, the device wasn't sim-locked, but net-locked, wich means i cannot use my second sim card from vodafone with it. so i had to unlock it.
(i tried without unlocking, the phone asked me for a certain code and no, it was not the pin-code from the vodafone-sim )
if you launch CustomRUU you are asked for the version of your SPL, at least this is what happens when i start it. if you cannot imagine what i am talking about, i will make a screenshot, for better understandings.
I had Hard-SPL installed, this is a form of SOFT-CID-unlocking?
with having Hard-SPL installed i could not boot the original shipped german TMOB101-rom from the wiki...
can i flash the old ipl/spl/radio/os without worries?
greetings
garfield
Within the CustomRUU folder you should see a file called ROMUpgradeUt.exe - this never ever asks for SPL, it is nothing but a modified FLASHING UTILITY.
i only have ruuwrapper.exe
i used this customruu v5.2 from olipro's thread
what customruu are you talking about? actually i never saw a file named ROMUpgradeUt.exe
where to find?
thanks for your help.

EDIT:
i have just found this:
NOTE: If your radio version is currently HIGHER than 1.27.00.00 then it is very likely the radio bootloader is version 0108, this WILL NOT allow the radio to be downgraded to a radio containing BL 0106 and will result in a "NO GSM" error. As with other downgrade guides this is NOT intended as a guide for claiming the warranty of the device having flashed components which are not authorised by the manufacturer or carrier.

Anyone experienced this situation? Half year ago i have made Hard-SPL for my wizard because my 2 year warranty at T-Mobile finished. After i made Hard-SPL everything went good, i flashed many roms with no problem. My last rom is Slim Diamond edition which i wanted to change for new TNT now. But i cannot get to bootloader through RUU and i tried to get there manualy but my Wizard always freezes on a black screen. I have to get out the battery, wait few second, push battery back, and switch on the device. My wizard boots normaly, OS works normaly and i can do everything with no problem. But flashing is restricted area now! Anyone know what to do with this ?
Ok i find the solution by myself. It seems like that Hard-SPL do not really unlock wizard to flash any rom you want. All i had to do was to flash original ROM, from manufacturer, but the original ROMs usualy contains IPL and SPL which would brick the device if it is Hard-SPLed. So i tried to extract the original ROM, removed IPL and SPL images, and tried to flash just OS but flashing process was stuck every 43 % and i had to remove battery and start again. So this was not working too :-( So one czech ROM cooker helped to flash his ROM 1.1 CID-locked editionwhich contains only OS, splash screens and ExtROM. Maybe here presented LOVE Rom should wotk to. So all i must do before flashing new WM6.1 ROM on Hard-SPLed Wizard, is to flash original rom without IPL and SPL (it is important!!) and then i can flash everything i want. If i do not do it i cannot enter the bootloader to flash. Maybe it is normal but i did not read it before, all cookers recomends to flash original OS before flashing new one, but i thought it is just for to be sure that all will be flashed well.http://fenix.metronet.cz/johnny/download/ROM 1.1 CID-locked edition by ppctuning.org.exe
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am in a hurry so have no time to search and investigate in this mater by myself for now!
I have flashed several roms in the past, right now I am running RomeOS 1.40
However I have now sold my device and need to revert to the original rom and SPL!
I have the Swedish rom, but the problem is that the file I have is RUU_Signed.nbh I dont have the wrapper or what it is called so that I can flash my raphael!
Also, do I need to SPL lock the device again? and if so how do I do that?
Last but not least, after flashing RomeOS, I got alot of information on the first screen (You know when you first start the device where it shows the radio version and everything!) But the problem is that I have tried to flash other roms but the information on the first screen is still there!
How do I get rid of it so it looks like the original?
Hope you know what I mean and how to help me!
Thanks in advance!

The wrapper is included in the attached file along with the htc splash screen. the original spl also in there so do the following:
1- extract the zip file and put the customruu + your RUU_Signed.nbh in one folder and run that to get your original rom
2- put now the customruu + htcsplash together and flash to change the splash screen
3- Now use the spl tool to revert to the original spl

Hi
I can't download this rom.
I click in the link and it redirect me to another page, and I keep looping.
Now I'm in Costa Rica and maybe I need to be in USA to download this file.
Could someone upload the file to megaupload or rapidshare or something similar.
I will appreciate that
Thanks

Where is this official leaked ROM you speak of for the pure?
Only ROMs I see out is 3rd party cooked ROMs. Not anywhere close to the quality of official ROMs. And only ROMs that I've seen out that makes a huge difference in anything is the ones with Manila 2.5. Which are horrible in the sense that MMS doesn't work on them, because there is no way of opening it unless you do a registry hack and add a cab for it to open in windows messaging client.
finally! i've been looking forward to this
Thanks
Hey. Thank you very much
Hi
Hello How can I change the band to the following:
Network Type : GSM
Band Frequency: GSM (900+1800+UMTS(2100+900)
Here is a little FYI for anyone interested. I am not sure why but, loading this rom did not replace the HardSPL. Being curious, I had to find out how I could use the stock SPL in this rom to go back to being completely stock. I am not sure if what I did is correct but it worked for me.
I extracted the spl.nbh and ruu_signed.nbh from the HTC download. I tried just running the spl.nbh by renaming it to TOPAIMG.nbh and copying it to the root of the SD. Everytime it would read the file and try to replace the spl it would fail and go back to the load screen. So, I relocked the spl using the spl relocker 1.33 (? I think that was the version). I then applied the spl.nbh (renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh) and it replaced the SPL with a version 1.78. It then looked like it was stuck at 9%. This is apparently some sort of interim SPL used to load the ruu_signed.nbh. After trying to determine what was going on for a little while I decided to put the ruu_signed.nbh (again renamed to TOPAIMG.nbh) on the SD and see what happens. Well, it loaded the original SPL, Radio and ROM and my Pure was 100% stock again.
I am sure there must be an easier way. Perhaps if I had just relocked the SPL with 1.33 and then ran the update it would have been fine. I just wanted to post this information so people know that you can get it back to 100% stock using this download from HTC.

Great find! Any chance that someone could / has extract(ed) the phone canvas out of this rom to see if it addresses the delay issues associated with the topaz and leo roms?

So that confirms you have to relock the spl before it will replace the hardspl with the original spl. That is good to know.
relocker replaces the spl to stock spl version 1.33
flashing again flashes the spl to 1.83

Can anyone help me with the downgrade?
From the official HSPL thread I read
"It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM
with this SPL version."
Can someone help a noob with this process? I've never flashed b4!
Also, my phone currently won't load and is stuck on the "stick together screen"
cakinlife,
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Out of curiosity, why do you want to downgrade to 1.42 SPL?
After reading some guides, I think I need to downgrade to 1.42 in order to install HSPL don't I?
After that, I want to install android.
EDITTTTT
Hold up, I just continued reading some other stuff and found out I don't need to downgrade.
Problem is my phone gets stuck on the "Stick Together" screen. How do I install HSPL if I can't get phone to load?
Any tips? Thanks

That's correct. With the most recent HSPL4, you can go direct to 2.08.HSPL or 3.03 (2.08 if you wanna go Android)

Has this phone ever booted up? Have you flashed something previously which caused this condition? Radio?
In any case, I'm assuming you can get into bootloader, so you can just try running HSPL4 on your computer with your HD2 in bootloader mode-- that should allow you to install HSPL, and you can see if this rectifies the loading problem and then go from there. Alternatively, you can try starting totally from scratch by installing an appropriate factory/shipped ROM (with proper radio) from the microSD card (see the flashing thread for instructions). If this brings your phone back to a working baseline, then:
1)Flash HSPL
2)Flash your desired custom WinMo ROM and
3)install Android ROM on SD
**OR**2)Flash your desired NAND Android ROM (first taking care of incidentals like MAGLDR, etc-- as per Android flashing instructions)

Thanks RDionysus, I really appreciate all the info.
I'm going to try and go straight to HSPL4 from the bootloader.
I've actually never tried to flash anything, it just all of a sudden stopped booting on me which brought me to wanting to mod it
Going to try your suggestions, tytyty!
Hope it works out. Let us know!
So far I've installed HSPL and flashed the "NRG Engergize rom"
I'm still getting stuck on the bootup, now its stuck on the "NRG Energize" logo instead of the "Stick Together" logo.
I feel like I need to go back to stock to get that working baseline. How do I go about this step?

NONONONO!!!
If you have a tmous the ONLY stock roms you can flash are tmous roms from T-Mobile.com or the tmous section here on xda.
Astock rom that is not tmous will destroy your phone.
This includes every rom in that thread.

its actually an executable zip, not really a .exe.
If you rename the extension to .zip, it will open in whatever zip program you have installed, and you will see about 9 files inside, one of which is RUU_Signed.nbh, around 220meg size, its way the biggest file in there, you cant miss it,. , thats the rom(and radio and splash and spl), extract that and rename it, copy it to sd, and enter bootloader. The other files are the program that performs the flash over USB.
Thanks a mil, Im gonna try when i return from classes
So I reflashed the T-mobile rom with success however I still get stuck at the stick together screen even with a fresh install.
Anyone have any tips?
After reviewing the thread, I would consider a strong possibility that there is something wrong with the hardware. But before throwing in the towel, here's what I would try first:
REMOVE the SIM card and any SD card you have in the phone. Perform a hard reset. If you still get hung at the "stick together" screens then try...
RE-FLASH the stock (baseline) rom you obtained earlier, but this time first hook the phone up to your computer and perform a Task 29, then flash, and finally hard reset. Don't skip any steps, and leave out of the phone both your sim card and the microSD card (in case one of them are faulty). If, after the final hard-reset your phone manages to successfully boot up all the way, then insert the cards and see if everything is operational.
Good luck.
