Complete guide to downgrade to wm2003SE??

Hi there guys, long story short, I need to downgrade my Qtek 2020 (XDA 2 Himalaya) to win2003SE asap. I did put an effort to search in here and over at Buzz's place. However, I cant find a complete step by step guide to downgrade Within the zip file for upgrading to wm5 there is a complete guide but not for downgrading.
So, can anyone help me out about this? Would be highly appreciative.
I did find a thread at Buzz's but there were no complete instructions, so please dont just refer to that one, but rather just post a 10step (or however many steps there are) that I need to do.
Many thanks in advance guys!
Cheers

Flashing an English rom to my Dual Touch

Hi Guys,
I've tried to search for previous posts, however I'm finding them confusing :s
I've got a HTC Dual Touch that has an Italian ROM, I'd like to know how I can go about backing up the OEM ROM and reflashing it with an English one.
Thanks is advance.

I don't know how to backup your original ROM, but maybe you are lucky and it is already available for download in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373452

I've Sourced a ROM from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MX5GHOXC
I've also installed SSPL-1.16 Nike.exe in my device and ran it, (to unlock it?) however when I load the boot-up page to verify its install this is not listed.
Any ideas?
You should read the stickies, there is an SPL thread that explains everything. Also search it for SPL 1.22, as it is not listed in the first post, afaik.
Good luck...

Please help with Rom update

Hi all, I just received my HTC Hero. It currently has the default android 1.5 rom.
What is the BEST rom update that is stock, no changes and which version?
There is 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1
What do you advise me to get and why?
Also, lastly, please could someone send me a link with instructions of how to update rom/software needed for update as I don't want to brick a brand new phone.
Regards.

hasn't been developed on this forum....? Just check the HTC website for your latest retailer's ROM. They have instructions on there, if you're unable to follow "double click the exe to update" then please post somewhere else..... anywhere else..... preferably far away from here
I don't really know why your asking which stock rom is best on a forum which develops customised roms... on the other hand, if you want a guide explaining step by step how to install a customised rom (which are often far from stock) please read the first guide in my sig.
It is entirely up to you which ROM you pick but if you're going to create ANOTHER topic about which rom is "best" please read the Q&A section first and post in one of the hundreds of topics which have already been created in there!

Hi guys please help me i think ym phone its up to date :(

First of all, Hi guys nice to meet you all.
I'm new to this forum so i need help to find some answer. Forgive me too be a such annoying noobie :angel:
Well short story, I just bought a nbew phone HTC radar. As i'm expected of course i'ts a locked WP7
I've already find thread related to unlock the phone OS. SPL HSPL and how to install custom rom
The problem is, i found this on my bootloader screen :
PI06100
SPL-4.6, 175006.2 (140733)
eMMC SMS 7376MB, FA31
TOUCH A1 (F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-17.5006.08.27
As far as i learn from various thread, i have to downgrade my SPL become 2.05/2.5
I have already tried gold card trick and have no luck, and as far as i'm concern it no use for SPL 4.X
Now, long story short i know that my SPL shpuld be downgrade, and probably to lower Shipped rom version such as 1.07 or 1.08 and then i use goldcard tricks and hope it will work. Finger cross at least i want to try it first.
Could any one of you give me ay solution of this problem? Or at least point me to a link that contain tutorial to FLASH STOCK ROM i want to try if maybe possible to downgrade to STOCK ROM with lower SPL.
Any kind of help and solution i aprciated much.
And once again i'm really sorry for my noob question. I'm totally new to WP7. Usually i play at android section, this is my first WP7 phone, and i'm not really familiar with all the terminology.
ok guys, thanks for spaend your time read my quetion. Thank in advance for any kind of answer.
Regards
I really have no experience with this, but here are some ideas.
Here you will find a rom

ICS Upgrade for Rooted Xperia S

Hi,
I'm fairly new with this phone, and I had rooted it without unlocking the bootloader. (downgrade to GB, root, then upgrade to ICS)
I just found out that a newer version of ICS is released the other day and was wondering that if there is anyway I can update my device while keeping the root ? Say, if I use flashtool to flash the new version, will I lose the root? Or should I use the pc companion software? Or cwm recovery?
I am a total noob here, and I have no idea what I'm doing... Kind of want to figure everything out before I accidentally bricked my phone.
you could try the thread about it on the development section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857736
or you can try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856287
And btw, use the search button first, or at least read the thread titles in the first page ¬¬
Thanks !!
I must have phrased the keywords wrong or something last night since neither of the posts you provided was in the search result.
Thanks for sharing the posts though. I had just successfully upgraded my phone with PCC while preserving the root !!
