HI,
HTC is going to pick up my hd2 this monday, so i need hspl removed and need to revert to stock rom!! Can someone please tell me how to do this? I tried to search "factory default reset" but didn't find a real good answer... Is this what i need to do: 1. download htc 1.66 rom -> 2. install htc 1.66 rom through activesync -> 3. ?
Please Help!
Thank you.
Timo
If you install 1.66 ROM via the SD card, that should revert your SPL back to the default one. If it doesn't, then run HSPL2via activesync and select the SPL version you require.
go to htc.com for your area. Click on the hd2 and find a stock ROM (it should ask for your imei #).
Download this stock ROM to your computer or phone. Unzip the file and find the .nbh file. Rename this file to LEOIMG.nbh.
Put this file on your storage card (8gb or less work best). Put your phone into bootloader mode (press volume down while reseting phone).
It should automatically flash the ROM and flashing a stock ROM from the sd card relocks hspl.
thanks a lot!!

folks,
I was running sky-raider zeus rom on my HTC Thunderbolt. I went into Rom Manager and decided i wanted to try out the Cynagenmod rom. I down loaded it. Chose to do a full wipe and download google apps. Since then it rebooted after and has been stuck in the Boot animation.
I tried to go into recovery and it asks me if i want to proceed with update. I choose yes. Unzips files and reboots into the boot animation and remains stuck.
Please Help.
Describe in as much details how you flashed this Rom, what did you name the file if you changed it at all? Did you flash in Rom manager or recovery? Did you clear data/cache/davlik? What version of recovery are you using? How did you flash in recovery, did you go to select zip file from SD card?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button

I used Rom Manager and I had the latest version. I'm not sure what the # was. I chose to wipe all options and download google apps. After that I did not touch the phone and it went into reboot and has been stuck in the boot animation since.
Thanks for your help in advance
So you flashed the Rom from CWM app?

Ok this is what you do never ever flash a Rom from Rom manager, you are going to want to select reboot to recovery and do it from there. Here are steps to save your night.
1. take battery out and put back in and hold down on volume and hold power button at same time. this will boot into Hboot.
2. Select recovery (god I hope you don't have a radio sitting there) or that will load instead of recovery. If this is the case you will want to remove your SD card and use a computer to remove the radio from ur card.
3. Once you are in recovery select clear data/cache and then under advanced clear davlik. And select install file from SD card and it should say select file and just pick last Rom you loaded I always keep a few on mine just in case.
4. This will install the Rom the correct way, after it is done reboot and all should be well.

Grnlantern79,

Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] MDM9K
[2] Radio_V2
Do you want to update?
What should i do?
Yes it is a radio and No don't update, and hopfully it will allow you get to recovery if not get on computer and remove the pg05img file off SD card.

Yea once you flash a radio either move it off the root of SD card or rename it so you can use it at a later time in case a future radio does not work as well. It's always good practice to keep the root of SD card clear of files named pg05img.zip or update.zip

So I'm running an unlocked and rooted rez that I want to put clean rom 1.5 on. Thing of it is, I've never flashed a ROM on anything and am a complete newb in terms of programming anything. Could use some help.
As I understand it, I dl the zip and throw it on the SD card, and then I know I need to do a wipe and factory reset and install the zip through recovery (all of which I think I can do with ROM manager) but I don't know how to get all this done.
1) Do I need cleanflash and if so, what do I need to do with it and how?
2) How do you flash cleanROM 1.5 and not lose NFL mobile and facebook/twitter? (It says there are other files to flash before rebooting, I found them in the cleanROM zip but I don't know what to do with them)
Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry bout my kindergarten question but you gotta start somewhere
Here is a guide with lots of useful info. Rom Manager won't work right now because we are using a unofficial ClockworkMod recovery. I would highly suggest installing Amon RA as of right now, and nit using rom manager. This guide by Con will walk you thru what you need to do. Thank him, because though I have only been on the same phone/forum for a little while, I have come to respect what he does for us in these forums..Peace
Edit: For the apps you want to save, download titanium backup off of the market, and backup your apps. After you flash your new rom, redownload Titanium, and restore the apps you want. I would just do the app, and not the data as that can cause problems sometimes. Good Luck

1) CleanFlash definitely streamlines recovery/boot flashing. Just make sure to put the boot.img and recovery.img in the same directory as the zip files.
2) After flashing CleanRom in recovery, before you reboot flash the framework zip file in the CleanRom directory on your sd card.
Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound running CleanRom 1.5/Clockwork Mod.
Alright, well I just went ahead and gave it a shot. I flashed Clean ROM and the social networking zip and rebooted, then flashed recovery.img and boot.img with clean flash and rebooted. Does that basically cover it?
Not sure what the framework.zip file is, I didn't see it in recovery mode in the cleanrom folder, what does that file do and do I need to go through the paces again to flash it or can I just flash it now that I'm up and running?
The file is called Social Networking Framework.zip and it's located in the CleanROM directory on your SD Card after you flash the CleanRom 1.5 zip. The Verizon Bloat Services zip file contains your NFL mobile and other Verizon/HTC apps.
It is recommended that you flash these files before your first reboot. So I would say, yes, reflash CleanROM and make sure to follow all the steps in the CleanROM thread.

This will be my first time also installing a rom, I have unlocked the bootloader and it is left unlocked, I have rooted and installed amon ra recovery. I have downloaded the new clean rom 1.5.5 and not sure what to do next.
1)Do I have to unzip the files from my PC then put them on the sd card or leave it zipped I also need to install the Social network file also.
2)Do I have to update the boot.img if im coming from stock if so how?(tried the flashtool for aman ra and didn't work for me)
3) In the instructions under the rom thread it says install rom and reboo. will it just pop up and ask to install rom if I place it in the right folder?
Thanks for helping out a noob. Rom looks awesome.

1. Don't unzip the zip file just place on external SD card. Look in the instructions regarding Social network file I never used it.
2. Check the instructions for sure, but I think Clean rom still uses stock kernel so it would boot and run just wouldn't get the performance tweaks Scott puts in the kernel he uses. Otherwise, yes you would flash the boot.img after the rom before you boot up the first time. It really isn't hard if you just put the boot.img in the same folder you used to unlock that contains fastboot . Open up the command prompt while phone is in fastbootusb and type fastboot flash boot boot.img and viola it will flash the kernel for you . Then just reboot phone and your done.
3. Just place the downloaded zip onto the external sd card. Reboot into recovery ..chose the wipe data factory reset to wipe , then after it's wiped choose install zip menu .. choose the external sd card then find the zip select it and confirm you want to flash and bam. If you are going to install the boot.img at this point.. go back to main menu and find the choice for developer menu .. select it and then chose reboot to bootloader.. place the boot.img in your fastboot folder you used to unlock and do the command I typed in 2. above and it will flash the kernel. Then return to recovery and reboot !
Just read the instructions and they are pretty easy.
Actually, I think for 1.5.5 you will need to install the boot.img so just look at the instructions to get the boot.img out of the zip and the rest of the instructions are pretty clear.
Hi,
I was searching the whole Forum for a working Link to Download a Stock Image for the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 EU(German).
It would be great if someone knows where to Download or can provide it on a Hoster.
Big Thanks

This is the EU firmware, verison 3_420 that I originally downloaded from Viewsonic's Euro website as linked in the post - it is in *.nb0 format.
I re-checked VS's website in different parts of the world and they all appeared to be offline or not accessible, with no reasons given.
Placed this in dropbox - kindly let me know if you can access & retrieve it, or if you run into problems. Some of my cloud storage are gone as I am uploaded it to the multiload server and it's ...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/ViewPad 7 Firmware v3_42_uk.zip
Below is the SUTL3 installation utility that you will need to flash it, please read & follow instructions - and, as always - backup first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip
Please proceed at your own risk as I am and will not be responsible if you (soft) brick your device - the files as uploaded are unaltered as it was originally saved or downloaded. Good Luck !
Thanks for your help...
Now i have SUTL and the Rom...
When trying to flash, it boots in the recovery but then aborts...
and says that the file couldn´t be sent to the device...
do i need an Micro-SD-Card(tried without) inserted to flash the Stock rom?
or do i need the stock Recovery(i have CWM installed)?
Greets and Thanks

Whether it's flashing the stock/factory rom or cwm, you need to have the mSD card in the slot, especially custom ROM or else it will not install. Try it again.
The stock recovery will format & if I remember correctly (it will unroot the device) - need to root it again & reinstall CWM, so please make sure you have the necessary files since lots of us "had" cloud files disappeared due to the megaupload & related issues recently.
Check & uninstall, then reinstall any usb drivers - I believe it will load from the device onto the computer. While still in CWM recovery, connect via USB cable and if you can read the mSD card, then it should be ready to re-flash the factory ROM.

OK... I got it...
the problem was the recovery.
After flashing an older CWM-Recovery SUTL did the job.... and flashed the Image.
Thanks for your help....
Is there a way to back up the entire phone as it is stock with what comes with the phone? Also have a couple of questions because I plan on loading custom roms and possibly rooting.
What are the main differences between the two recoveries:Amon Ra style vigor Current version 3.15 & ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.4? I used ClockworkMod Recovery on the Incredible and was comfortable using it. Do some ROMs require a certain recovery to go with it?
Is there a recommended combination of kernel and ROM to maximize battery life?
S-On/Off is for having the ability to flash radios correct? And currently that's not available Rezound? Unlock boot loader is for flashing custom ROMS Root is for some of the better Apps(and other things I don't know about).
1. once you unlock the phone and flash a custom recovery you can back up the stock rom that is on the phone.
2. ClockworkMod has been having some troubles with the rezound so most of us only use amonRa for dependability.
3. the kernels and battery life are usually hit or miss and also depends on if you are using GB or ICS roms. GB roms have more choices but ICS seems to be what everyone is running as am i and i get great battery life as long as im smart about 4g.
4. S-off is when u can flash just about anything do your phone becuase security is off... we have s-on but unlocked which means we cant flash radios but we can flash everything else safely
BAMF external sd card issues.
So I did every and have successfully flashed BAMF following these instructions: teambamf(dot)net/index.php/topic/3185-rom-bamf-rezound-ics-v12-official-update-32512/#entry70140
but now the problem I am having is that my external sd card is not being recognized. I have tried mounting it manually in the storage settings and it says that it is "preparing to mount sd card" but then nothing happens. I have rebooted into hboot and recovery and the external sd card is recognized there. I have scoured the thread for the rom itself and have found nothing definitively helpful.
is there anything else i can try to do to make this work?
edit: I flashed this file after renaming it: PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip and this file BAMFupdate.zip for the install. Am I suppose to flash a separate kernel?
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip as PH98IMG.zip and place on external sd card then from recovery in the developer menu reboot in the bootloader and flash that file and press the volume up button when it asks.

I've actually done this twice and it has no effect as letting me read my external sd card and i've found another problem of not being able to dial out a phone call.
Did you update to the lastest firmware via the leaKed RUU? If you didn't then you have to flash the oldfirmware PH98IMG instead after flashing the ROM.

I have not, could you direct me as to where I can find it?
I went from a completely stock Rezound. I used the all in one tool kit to unlock and then perm root. And then I followed these steps to install BAMF as per their website:
Instructions for Installing Rom and Kernel (on new firmware)
Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes
Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system
Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery
From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"
Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu
Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen
Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.
Rock on with your bad self and reboot system

Follow these steps to update to the lastest ICS leak for the Rezound this will update you to the new firmware then reflash BAMF and the PH98IMG just skip the parts for Scott's ROM.
Nevermind on my post about locking, I was able to do it and install the RUU from scott's. I will now try to reflash BAMF and hope everything works.

Well I wanted to follow the directions you posted, but for some reason I can't enable USB debugging even when the box is checked. So I can't lock the boot loader to follow the instructions using the all-in-one tool. Can I flash the RUU without having to relock the phone? or is there some other way to lock the phone via recovery menu and pc that I can do? I tried switching to ICS Ineffabilis, but it hanged after installation so I put BAMF back on and still same problems.
I guess to sum it up what do I need to do to relock bootloader manually?
also I tried to restore my nandroid back up from stock and it didn't work. I'm guess it is because I flashed that firmware for BAMF.
Right the ROM that you flashed was modified from the latest ICS leak from HTC and since you were on stock you should have flashed the old firmware PH98IMG since you didn't run the latest RUU. To run it the phone definitely has to be relocked if the command isn't recognized via fastboot you may need the HTC drivers provided with HTC sync I ran into that same problem. If you just want to go back to stock you have to restore your nandroid backup and flash a GB kernel to get it to boot properly. Hope this helps!
Cool lemme know how it turns out.

Awesome I'm glad that I could give back a little most of the time I just lurk and read up on everything enjoy the ROM and be sure to thank Joel for the work in his thread!
I want to go back to stock rom. So I downloaded a zip file of the firmware.
Please give me the detailed steps to flash the rom without bricking it. My externel sdcard is unable to mount in CWM.
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.
thank you.
First download and install odin from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
1. If it is in zip extract it using 7zip,winrar.....
2. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
3.Shut down your phone than put your device in download mode. To do so, press Vol-Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release Power (It might not work in first time,so try it three four time before posting again)
Button. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading.
4. You should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
5. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.
6. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default if not than check them).
7. Now click Start.
8. When it's finished, it should say that it's done with a green box and your device should reboot by itself
Good luck:good:
Thanks for your concern but i don't have the .tar file so i'm unable to flash it via ODIN. Can you give me the instruction to flash .zip file through CWM recovery. And what should i do if my external sd is unable to mount?

To flash through CWM you dont need external SD card. You can just copy the file in to Internal SD and flash it.
And for installing stock firmware, you cant just simply do it via CWM, you have to go for Odin only.
For this you need to download your original firmware from sammobile or in xda forums you can find it. Take a research, the above post will help.
