downgrade to official tmobile rom - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, Its probably been covered but I just can't find it anywhere...
I'm on modaco 2.9 rom, Firmware 1.5 kernel 2.6.27 and rooted
I want to send my phone to tmobile for warranty repair and want to revert back to original tmobile rom
So can I get Tmobile rom from tmobile website or modaco website in version T-Mobile UK 2.73.110.26 and simply flash it?
As I understand this should unroot the phone but recovery image will still be modified? Is there a way to change recovery image back to stock htc?

You should download a T-Mobile RUU, and install that as it will replace your recovery.
Regards,
Dave

thanks!

HELP. Revert back to Voda 1605

I need help to Revert back to Voda 1605.
How do i do this now?
Which firmware version shoud i use and which Vodafone ROM?
When i used the Dopod Firmware and Vodafone UK Extended Rom from the XDA site, i got errors saying cannot find windows\\vodafone.bmp.
I guess the Vodafone UK Ext ROM looks for custom files which shoud be there, however, as it the Dopod one, they are not there and gives a error.
Can some please send me this file and help to get it back to vodafone?
There is no official rom upgrade from Vodafone, so at the moment you can't revert back to the original VF ROM.
You'll need to wait until they release a ROM update.
Regarding the Vodafone.BMP error, see this post.
If you put an image in windows with the name vodafone.bmp it will let the extended rom run. However, it WILL NOT revert you back to the vodafone ROM. You'll get the 3 symbol, the setup things but the phone skin will be broken and you will not have the voda theme - have to wait for a voda rom

[Q] Can't return to stock ROM - please help

Hi,
I have a Hero (A6262) bought in australia (from australian retailer) and have successfully rooted/ran custom Roms previously.
I currently have Arman's bootloader installed and can easily switch between custom roms.
however, I simply want to revert back to the shipped rom (for warranty purposes) but every single original HTC RUU I have tried errors with "invalid custom ID". I've tried every single WWE stock RUU from the "[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links" list... but to no avail...
Could anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong, or to point me to the correct RUU please?
thanks for your time
found my issue - well I think i did ....
it now works after updating to the latest RA Recovery rom... all ID issues resovled.
weird ;-)
Hi, were you able to find an Australian RUU? my hero cannot get pass bootloader screen and it would be really great for me to have the Australian RUU.
thanks
I too need a stock AUSTRALIAN hero RUU or ROM. I don't care if its 1.5 or 2.1 just something completely stock and local.
Ok with a little more searching i fond this [ROM]RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_AUS_3.39.710.1
I cant post links but search this and you should find it
About to try it.

where can I download stock rom for telsra/nextG (australia)

Just picked up a t9193 from australia (I'm in US). Before I start flashing roms, where can I download the stock australia nextG/telsra rom? I'm going to put that rom on a spare card to flash back if I ever need warranty work.
I looked through the stock rom archives, but dont see the matching SPL/radio rom for my current stock Australian rom. Thanks.

[Q] Installing international rom (which one?)

Hi, I have a HTC One from Rogers and I want to install one of the stock original roms from the international version of the HTC One, I found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292640
but I end up having too many files to choose from, asia, tw, europe, even rogers, tmobile, etc, which one do you guys would recomment?
What Im looking is to be able to get the updates directly from HTC once they are released OTA updates instead of always having to download custm roms or relying on them upgrading their version of roms.
Thanks.
what you want isn't possible without SuperCID and installing the actuall RUU for a WWE phone. OTA will fail on a stock rooted rom because of custom recovery etc etc etc...
flash ARHD 10 its stock like and 4.2.2:victory:
Thanks I guess I will go with a custom rom then
any rom that has OTA update so i dont have to flash all the time there is a new version?
ARHD is your best option now. hands down

HELP Need stock Firmware 4.1.1, for S III I9300, cant download it anywhere!!!

Hi guys,
I need firmware 4.1.1 for the samsung S III I9300, I literally spent all day yesterday looking and found several links but they were all hotfile links that are obv. dead.
The phone is currently locked to o2 UK not sure if I need the firmware to be of the same carrier..?
I want to flash the firmware via ODIN so then I can unlock the bootloader myself and then use the 'secret code' to network unlock in order to flash the latest Lineage..
Please help..pulling my hair out!!!!!
Thanks in advance
The bootloader was never locked for this phone.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

Someone badly misinformed you. If your phone is locked to o2 you must flash o2 firmware. Once the simlock is off you can flash any firmware.
If you have upgraded to 4.3 you cannot unlock the sim lock. There is no secret code. It was done by hex editing a file but is obsolete on 4.3.
If you are rooting to flash lineage you root via chainfire and odin, flash a custom recovery via odin and then flash lineage from the custom recovery you flashed.
If you want simlock off and you're on 4.3 you have to pay for it. Downgrading isn't possible unless you have a copy of your efs from 4.1.1.
