okay, i had made a post but was apparently oblivious to the best wm6 rom thread so it got moved in there. but as i expected thats a thread most dont even visit because its annoying. and im not worried about that i just had another question that i figured i would edit it out and ask here.
for my second rom ill be trying how exactly should i go about it, i have seen a few posts on how to flash and such but i just want to make sure i dont mess up something thats well known..
i remember seeing somewhere where to update to a new rom you need to first update back to an old official one, is this true or atleast reccomended? (i just get goosebumps when i update the rom thinking im definately going to brick it and dont want to have to do it more than i need to)
also, by going back to an official do we mean the Tmobile 2.26 one that i see in the how to flash page? (again just being careful and thorough)
last question ( i swear ) on the howto page it mentions the button and wizard love rom, my wizard is already running xm6r4 as it was completely unlocked, do i need to do that now? when i put xm6r4 on i just flashed right over my Tmobile 2.26 rom
thanks, and sorry if these are stupid questions I did search but apparenly didnt pick out the right keywords

you should always flash back to the tmo 2.26 rom b4 you try another one... personally i go to button -> tmo -> new rom... seems to work well, but i have no idea if that extra step is really needed (but good for peace of mind )
I flash back to cingular's 2.25 rom and then on to the new one. I guess I could use tmobile's 2.26 but 2.25 has treated me well.
You flash back to an oem carrier rom such as cingular's 2.25 and tmobile's 2.26 so you know you have a clean wizard. You also know your extended rom has been flashed as well and won't cause any battery drain issues or problems.
If you have upgraded your radio and ipl/spl, after flashing back to your carrier rom your radio, ipl/spl will have been changed back to oem as well. In my case that means my radio goes from 2.69 to 2.25 and my ipl/spl from 3.08 to 2.25. I think those numbers are right.

Without HardSPL installed, if you upgrade your ATT Tilt to ROM 1.93, you could not down grade back to 1.56. Well, for some reason, my phone wouldn't boot with 1.93 so I needed to go back to 1.56. When I tried, I got an error that was something like invalid vendor ID. So, instead I flashed the ATT Test rom. After that, I was able to flash 1.56. For me, this was a great find. Maybe it Will help someone else later.
where can i get the original ATT Tilt to ROM 1.56.
I want to restore my tilt to the factory settings.
please help.

well you could start by reading this thread right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 this way you can see how people have done and what issues some people might be running into. Plus you can post whatever issues you have over there.
and for just the instructions consult the wiki:
forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-335568.html
It has pretty much all info you need to revert back to stock rom and spl for warranty/exchange purposes or simply if you want to go back to att crap.
good luck.

Thanks very help full.
noob question, sorry but this is my first ever flash and im confidant i can do it
basically i want to unlock my phone to work with other sim cards im on orange uk stock rom but i want to use other sim cards, even if its just to check ones i find around my house
i picked up instructions from here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
in this it tells me i need to flash the phone with the radio again once i finished but ive checked threads and theres only htc roms and atnt roms and cooked ones
ihave rom version 1.81.61.2 wwe adn radio 1.27.14.32
What rom do you want? you can use a cooked rom just fine with your phone.... Or you could used the generic HTC rom.
Did you register for the HTC club? if your phone is HTC branded you can usually download roms right from there.
double posting you should be ashamed of yourself
Yeah, you really should be flammed... Cause I commented on the other post too...

This is because the 'unlocking' process is specific to a particular ROM i.e. install a ROM that can be unlocked, then replace the 'unlock-ROM' with the original ROM or one of your own.
Not all ROMs are available, so searching for a copy of your original ROM to re-install is beneficial if you wish to keep the original on your phone (warranty etc blah blah blah).
PS. There is nothing wrong with the 'unlock-ROM' if you wish to keep it on the phone.
i should ashamed but im not, since this post has slight differences to the one in geberal and besides i needed a fast answer and theres more people here

just follow the instructions to unlock the phone ( by flashing the patched radio) then once it is unlocked flash a different ROM. ( Dutty's or the new Throttle ROM, best one so far. Looks COOL!!! and runs great too.......lol ) Once you step away from the HTC ROMS the Kaiser is in a world of its own. So much better with a cooked ROM compared to a branded one. No contest....
yeah but i cant find my radio anywhere its 1.27.14.32 and now spl wont flash

just flash a newer radio after you unlock. Should work OK...... a lot of the cooked ROM's have preffered radios anyway.
The way I did it:- First flash HardSPL, then unlock phone using instructions, after complete decide which cooked ROM to flash and its corresponding preferred radio. The result: works like a charm, no problems....
see that the thing ive done my device just the wae i want but the sim unlocker needs my origional radio and i cant get it
and now my hard spl wont work after the dos bit does its business in loads up kaisercustom ruu or summit and this nees an activsync connection but the stepss on the first part of the hardspl thingy render the phone in bottloader and the activsync icon grey
i know its probably been posted 93578 times before, but i just want to 100% confirm here before i mod my new G1.
my last one, i accidentally installed SPL first before updating the radio, i didnt see any of the warnings before doing so, but now i know...live and learn i guess.
so....my new one, which is RC33, i know how to get it to RC29. ill do that, then root it.
after that, is this the correct process?
i was going to install the haykuro spl. but first, i read that one board wouldnt work, PVT or the other one i cant remember.
mine is PVT.
if thats the correct board, i can update the radio, install haykuro spl, then install the rom? i want Cyanogen, i believe is was 4.0.4, or whatever his latest stable version is. im not even sure ill like it, but thats the one i want to try, my friend runs that same setup (haykuro spl, Cyanogen rom) and he likes it.
also, at what point should i install the latest recovery? after radio update?
i dont wanna brick this phone hahah
thanks for any help and sorry if i asked questions that you guys answer on a daily basis
Don't be sorry. Next time post in the the appropriate section of the forum. Q&A

PVT will work =D congratulations it's not really bricked... but yeah update the radio, then the SPL, then the ROM. the latest stable cyanogen is 4.1.9.2 if you ask me... still considered experimental but it's stable and solid and will probably be the basis for the actual stable 4.2 update...
Hi guys,
nice work from JockyW, ookba and everyone doing the job to bring us excellent software (pls if i forgot anyone, don't be mad ). I really appreciated the RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509 for a long time but I will sell my Maple now. It time to move on and try something new. Thats why I need to go back to the Official HTC ROM. I just cannot get it to work...
Obviously just flashing the original HTC Rom won't do the job because of the Hardspl, but how do i get around this. I just need some help on going back.
Thanks in advance, UKFencer
160 hits and nobody got an idea...? Or is the answer too simple?
If i am missing something pls point me to it.
Thanks,
UKFencer
Sorry, I don't think I have any idea. I *think just flashing the original ROM should work, I have upgrade/downgraded other phones with factory/custom roms with no problem. I have a question on top of yours. If I don't Hard SPL, what do I lose? There's a thread about downgrading the HardSpl to 1.19 or 18, I don't know if that helps. I would like an answer to my AT&T question as well. Sorry about hijacking your topic but I at least bumped it.
Download original rom in HTC website. Thats all.

So, any other tips where to look for howtos...?

Have you ever imagined looking into Wiki
If I were your Maple buyer I would apreciate more to have it upgraded to a cooked ROM, rather to have ugly stock.
You can go back and install any ROM you want

Yes, I agree with your sentiments regarding the ROM, point is however that once the custom ROM is flashed with the Hardspl, the original ROM cannot be flashed back, which is sometimes required, especially if something happens to the phone and it has to be returned for repairs etc to the retailers.
Strange, it´s the 1st time I know that an HTC device can´t go back to original ROM...
I´ll do some research...
The original SPL is included in the package you downloaded from here..... Just have to use it, flash original rom, and you are on your way....
How exactly do I flash the original spl nbh file? I tried replacing the hard spl nbh with the original and running RUU but the spl remained the same.
you need to get the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558003
there is a folder marked original spl in there. it is the same process you did when you put the hard spl on there, just using the original nbh
Hi everyone,
So I updated the stock SPL back to my phone while having a CDMA rom on my device. Looks not like a problem at all, but appearantly it is when your phone is not a CDMA rom After that the phone won't boot anymore.
Since then I am not able to update my device to ANY rom, not even the stock rom. The updater keeps giving me the famous 262 error and hangs at 0% of the update. XDA-user orfeo_b has messaged me a while ago that he had a task29 program for windows 7 to format my phone. But he didn't respond to my message. So my question is: is there anybody who has this program for my phone? and if not, is there any other possibility to empty/format my phone?
Why did you create two threads in the same forum? (THREAD LINK)
You not want to post HERE, did you even bother to do any searching in HERE
You do know the FUZE is GSM, correct?

sorry, a second after saving I realised that my topic was a question so I posted the topic again accidentally.. I searched the whole forum for weeks but didn't find any solution. As I said, I accidentally flashed a CDMA rom to my GSM phone.
User benjamminzIS started the thread HERE
Perhaps give that a once or twice over and see if it works for you. Be sure to leave some feed back if it does!
Additionally, I must confess that I skimmed your post because you posted twice and didn't think anything of it after the fact. So I apologize if I came off slightly rude. Was not my intent!
There's a pretty good chance your phone is dead now. Flashing the stock spl after bricking your phone with a cdma rom is probably the worst thing you could have done. What were you thinking? With the stock spl, you can't flash task 29, or anything, for that matter. I guess you can try flashing hard spl, but you have to keep in mind that this 'stock spl' is not in fact the real stock spl (it's a patched stock spl that is capable of over-writing the hard spl). I'm not sure if it can be over-written with hard spl; I guess you'll find out. If you had read any of the posts on reverting to stock for warranty purposes, you would have seen that the absolute last step is flashing the 'stock spl', because once you do that, the device is locked.
Now, if you also flashed a cdma 'stock spl', then you can definitely throw the phone away.
