Please help, how do i downgrade to sprint rom - XV6700, PPC-6700 ROM Development

i installed the helmi wm 6.1 rom
i want to go back to the sprint stock room with old bootloader.
I have tried just running stock rom wont work says i have wrong version, even tried in bootloader mode
i cant find the hard spl for apache, Moguls wont work.
noone seems to know how to downgrade the apache. please help/
I have looked everywhere

What bootloader do you have now? What rom are you trying to flash? I'm doing exactly what you want to do as we speak. Ironic. I got my sprint rom from this link.

NEED HELP!!

I have installed a ROM that I shouln't have done. My phone is starting up but get stuck where the information about IPL and SPL stands, I have netered the BOOTLOADER , but how install a new ROM?
use the search function man, also the title is not very good...
unfortunately you can't get roms here anymore. Get a prophet rom somewhere and then flash over the update utility if you find a noid one somewhere... hopefully you have some stuff on your computer
Sorry, Im going to CID unlock my Prophet, but is there a download link for the program I need? They hav moved the link, so I guess that its something on rapidshare?

WM 6 on MDA

Hello, I really would like to know about this, I have a T-Mobile MDA (USA) running WM 5 version 2.26.10.2 WWE. I downloaded this from the T-Mobile website and updated my phone. I would like WM 6 on my MDA but i have no clue on how to do it. So if someone could please help me to do that i would really appreciate it. Also i would like to know some of the advantages and disadvantages (if any) of upgrading to WM 6. I'm a complete noob to any of this so any help is appreciated.

Start reading the forums. Everything you need is found here. Best bet is to take time and read the stickies at the top of this forum and the Wizard Upgrading forum. Those will tell you the step by step instructions on doing all of this. But understand, this isn't just a simple application install, but an OS Install (and not one supported by your provider). So for most roms you will have to figure out how to setup GPRS and MMS to get them to work. So don't rush into this, but spend some time reading and learning (or you may wind up with a dead phone).
A really good post with tons of pointers to stuff is:

Hats off to Carlosdude1991 for putting that together.
Thanks for the quick response, ive been reading up a little and so far it seems like the WM 6 Roms run faster than the originals, i have also learned that i have a G3 Device. Anyway im going to unlock my device and install WM 6 but i dont really know which ROM to get. Which is the best WM 6 ROM?

Ok, then start here and follow everything without skipping steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
As for WM6, you'll have to decide what you really want. If you want a fully loaded rom, then try Faria's "the real thing". For a "clean" rom try NotTooSmart or Xplore 1.1. Also Zoki's NBD is getting good reviews (I haven't tried it).
The beta of Faria's Vanilla is going VERY well and will be a great rom when its released (watch for it soon).
Good luck and have fun.
I have another question though before i do that, after i get WM6 will everything work again like it used to, like phone, text and sms, camera, programs etc.?
yes they will, you will have to enter in the correct settings for T-mobile mms
I think this is my last question (actually last 2), On the guide it says to downgrade to T-Mobile 2.26 ROM, what does it mean by that, does it mean that I should install buttons 1.05 ROM and do the whole process and then install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM which is the one I'm running right now? and wouldnt that re-lock my phone? and my second question is about how long would it take to go from an official T-mobile 2.26.10.2 ROM, Locked phone. to a WM6 unlocked everything working phone?
BTW thanks for all the quick responses and help.

Go to that thread and follow those directions. You have to use the lokiwiz to cid unlock your rom before you can add custom roms. Cid unlocking voids your warranty btw. That form is straight forward and works like a charm just do exactly what it says word for word.
I read it through a couple of times now, but i just don't get the part at the end where it says install the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM. I have that right now and wouldnt that just re-lock the phone? Also how do i Downgrade to the Button 1.05 ROM?
Alright, I understand where your coming from, I was in your shoes. lokiwiz will not work with 2.26. Therefore you have to downgrade your rom to 1.05( I used 1.8 because I couldnt find 1.5 and it still worked) Once you downgrade your rom then you can use lokiwiz to Cid unlock your phone. adding 2.26 after your cid unlock your phone will not lock it again given that you did everything correctly. 2.26 is a solid and steady base rom to use that doesnt have any bugs or anything. once this is all done you can put a wm6 rom on your wizard.
o ok i see, so i can download and install the 2.26 ROM from the T-Mobile USA website and it wont relock my phone, right? also "(i used 1.8 because i couldnt find 1.5 and it still worked)" you mean 1.05 right?

All this is correct, but let me stress... You have to get both IPL and SPL down to 1.xx or when you go back to 2.xx you may find your device isn't really CID Unlocked... So follow that thread. It tells you to do the button downgrade, then do lokiwiz, then you have to downgrade again if your SPL still hasn't changed. Once you get both to 1.xx, THEN you can go back to an official 2.xx rom (TMo 2.26 is the suggested one). THen as long as you stay on 2.xx and above, you will not have to the the 1.xx downgrade ever again. You will remain CID Unlocked during all your flashing adventures.
Thx for covering that.. I forgot about that one.. .. as for using 1.05 when i tried to click the link, I had trouble and had to search for a different 1.rom. checked the link today and it works again.. Would have saved some time and stress. lol
I have a question, when i reach the part right after downgrading to 1.05 ROM and i click enablerapi do i install it to anywhere or just click it then run the lokiwiz.bat on the computer?
Install to the C Drive I believe

Are you following this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
It tells you there in the steps on where things go... Basically the enablerapi can be anyplace on your phone, just get it over there and run it. But Lokiwiz needs to be on the C:\ drive of your PC to work properly I believe
alright i have succesfully installed WM6 " the real thing" but now i cant make any SMS messages? how can i fix this, i know you have to change the address or something but i have no clue where to go so i can do that. Also is there a way to get free internet from T-Mobile USA? I also have another quesiton, how come sometimes in the little icon next to the signal icon, its G and other times its E? does it make a difference?

You can't do SMS and MMS because you haven't set that stuff up yet apparently. EIther go to the T-Mo site and find the settings to plug into your phone, or search around here for the cabs for T-Mobile (I'm on Cingular so I don't have the T-Mo cabs to post)
G is straight GPRS. E is Edge (faster). I think the default TMo and Cingular stock roms turn this off from switching (so they always just show E). So now you are seeing when you are connected to the better net (but a lot of people don't care for that. again there is a cab around to turn that off)
Congrats on upgrading successfully.

Problems with WM6 ROMs

Hey. I've been trying to flash WM6 ROMs to my T-Mobile MDA G3.. I've tried the Crossbow-Reloaded v1.5, Molski's latest ROM on his site, etc. and nothing looks any different after the ROM is installed.. even when i go to settings->about it says i'm running wm5.. something is going wrong. I make sure to CID unlock the phone first.. I've tried flashing the WM6 ROMs with the latest official t-mobile ROM, i've tried downgrading the ROM first.. i've tried everything and nothing seems to work. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I was up all last night and i got nowhere. Please help.
Thanks,

what does the os version show on the IPL/SPL screen?
Did you do a clear memory or a hard reset after flashing?

The key is, when you downgrade did both your IPL and SPL go to 1.xx? Usually only the IPL goes to 1.xx, and you have to downgrade again. Lokiwiz will work if the IPL is 1.xx and the SPL is 2.xx, so you have to verify this. Once you get both down to 1.xx and have run lokiwiz, then (and only then) upgrade to an official 2.xx rom, otherwise you are NOT CID unlocked.
IPL and SPL where both in the 1.xx area before i CID unlocked and then installed ROM..

Trouble with new mda

so I lost my tricked out mda and got a new one from my insurance and I've beeen trying to upgrade to wm6 and I've been having so many problems. I downgraded to the love rom and tried to cid unlock it and when I try using my cooked roms they don't seem to install because the love splash keeps showing up and its still running wm5. I don't know if I'm even cooking the roms correctly because it been a while since I cooked a rom and the kitchen was not working properly and I even downloaded a new kitchen. I even tried installing a premade rom and it still it boots up as the love rom. my ipl is 1.26 and the spl is 2.26. can someone please help.
hello
did you succeed in cid unlocking the wizard ? Because i had the same issue and, after unlocking my pda properly, all worked fine. u could also try to install a t-mobile wm5 official rom.
I think I cid unlocked it, I ran lokiwiz and when I try to run it again it say theres an error.

hey, i just took a brief look in the elfin section. Go there and look at the stickies, there are guides for un bricking yoiur elfin and a good guide on how to correctly hardspl and flash....DO READ THEM (and you normally should flash a rom from bootloader in any case )
If you dont want to hardspl, then try the uspl way. You didnt say what rom you had tried to flash or wot you have done to get it stuck in bootloader.
Also are you using vista or xp on your computer?
i'm using xp on my comp,i got to bootloader because i tried to flash some roms and when i tried last time flashing onyx one it showed me error message and then started the problem.
ok, did u hard-spl sucessfully? what is you ips/spl shown on bootloader?
IPL is 2.26.0002
SPL is 2.26.0000 and as i said in right top corner RUU,
i've tried to flash it from sd card,but it ain't worked andlooked at goldcard method and i haven't got another winmo devic and don't know somebody who has,please help me to unbrick my phone,it was both from orange uk.

Please have a look at post 3 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
Is this what you have tried doing previously?
Did you unlock your elfin first if it is locked on orange network?
If you cant get it working after trying this, go back to first link above and flash back an original stock rom, at least ur device will be working again!!
ps when u hardspl and tried to flash, did u disable antivirus on PC, and disconnect all other non essential usb devices? This is an commen cause of bad flashes, also try other usb ports, 2 of mine i cant flash on, 2 i can (which is wierd) - (i have experienced this myself).
If any of this doesnt help, as for help in the elfin section, but DO describe all your steps properly and fully and enclose links of roms tried etc so someone with an elfin can see what you have donw and save unnecassary posts etc.
mate,the link you gave me is that when i upgraded my elfin when it was working, i don't know what you mean about unlocked it is sim unlocked what about cid i really don't have idea,because i couldn't connect to mtty,please can you give me the link for original stock rom for my elfin,because i haven't done backup and i downloaded one but i don't know how to put in when i got in bootloader only and can't connect acivesync please tell me how to this aswell,PLEASE HELP ME UNBRICK MY ELFIN!!
Have you resolved this?
Search and download a stock rom from HTC or from here, use the search and wiki, you will find one there.
When you plug in ur elfin into the computer and put it in bootloader, do you see "USB" on the screen along with ur ipl and spl?
You should, and if you do you should be able to flash the stock rom on.
