Revert Flashed ROM to Stock?

Hi guys,
I have a touch pro with a few issues (the same as everyone else) and I want to try a few things out in order to try and fix it. I just need to know I can revert it back to its original state if I need to...
This is my first Windows Mobile device, I have flashed hardspl to the device as the thread gives instructions on how to flash back, I'm just a bit concerned about restoring the original rom if I change it; The wiki has a few stock roms available, but it seems they include the SPL which I've read wont work correctly with hardspl installed. I've backed up the rom using pdocread, can I flash it back with pdocwrite without any issues? Obviously if I reconstruct it to flash back, it wont have the HTC signature so if I put the original SPL back on I will have a brick.
I'd like to mess around in the kitchen but need a way to revert it back to retail. How is this usually done?
Thanks.

Simply flash your chosen stock ROM (from the wiki as you pointed out). This will not overwrite your SPL. Hard SPL simply enables you to flash any ROM, stock or otherwise. There is a Stock SPL that you can flash for warranty purposes in post #1 of the HardSPL thread.

Back to my stock rom

Hi guys, I couldn't find this on the forums:
I want to go back to my stock rom, named: _HTC Touch Pro_MRII_RUU_Raphael_HTC_NLD_KPN_5.05.478.1_R_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
But I have flashed a HardSPL from Olinex. What are the safe and correct steps to go completely back to the original rom?
Many thanks.

You can flash the stock rom, and keep the hard spl, it won't make a difference. If you are returning the phone for warranty, you will want to flash back to stock spl.
Check the sticky threads for the hardspl, it has instructions for returning to original for warranty. There is another thread for returning to spl 1.95, if that is the original spl you had. But you may be like me and didn't pay attention to which version you had before flashing harspl by olinex.
In the wiki you should be able to find all of the stock roms.
Cheers!

Thanks mate, I did a little gambling and just tried to flash the normal rom. It worked, with the SPL still intact I think. I sold it without warranty so it isn't my problem anymore .

Downgrade from Haykuro New SPL to Stock without Bricking.

Downgrade from Haykuro New SPL to Stock without Bricking.
I have:
Haykuros New Spl
Cm Recovery 1.2
CM 3.4 Rom
latest Radio .26I
Has Anybody Downgraded to Let say rc33 Stock or RC 29 ?
wht steps did you follow?
The Guide listed here seems to have been made before the Bricking Issue arised.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

flashed old RC29 image
I followed the original multi-touch root guide used from months ago. It didn't brick my phone.
I guess I used this:

or this:

I went back to hard spl did a wipe and had no problems, I didnt want to risk forgettting and applying a radio upgrade and bricking my phone
R

This is what has worked for me. The latest Haykuro SPL (camera+power) will auto recognize if RC29 is on the sd card and offer to flash it (i.e. DREAIMG.nbh). This will revert absolutely everything, radio, boot, spl, system and recovery. I have used it many times when trying custom roms that end up not working for one reason or another. As a result it never leaves my sd card. You will have to root the phone again.
For UK use: RC7

removing hardspl

hi guys i installed the 3vloution series rom and when i wish to change it back to the original htc rom it gets disconnected and connected at 14%.. however it hangs at 27%..
help appreciated

Hi @ll,
yes, that behaivior can I confirm. My Snap do the same. A reflash to the EVO rom afterwards works fine...
Any Ideas...how to get the orginal 6.5 back to the Snap?
Thx and regards
Frank

same here
Any solutions in the meantime???

Got it!
Hi,
I found a woking way to go back to the original ROM (and SPL) . But I'm quite sure, that it isn't the easiest way to do that - it killed my nerves and pushed me into desperation in the meantime
Before I was on SPL 1.17 and the flash of original ROM hung at 26%
Sounds crazy, but that's what I did:
1) flashing Hard SPL 1.19
2) flashing Original SPL 1.19 (TriColor Screen showed 1.19 0000)
3) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER
=> flash hung at 17%
4) tried to flash 3VO Evolution
=> Error, because of Original SPL
=> not possible to flash Hard SPL, because ActiveSync-Connection is required
At that time desperation grew to panic. NOTHING worked, so I thought I broke it and can't get it to life anymore
5) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash hung at 17%
=> at next start I realized that SPL-Version had changed to SPL 1.23 0000
6) tried to flash Original Snap WM 6.5 ROM GER again
=> flash worked and the Snap is back to delivery status
maybe it will work for you too

confused

Please have a look at the 4th sticky in this forum. It's a little bit hidden but the title is about "HardSPL, Original SPL and JockyW"...
And then I recommend to perform the steps in the order I stated before.
Good Luck!

How to revert back from DeathSPL.

Hello,
I have a G1 and I just installed DeathSPL on it (after installing the radio of course and I have a PVT board). I've been looking around and trying to find how to go back from DeathSPL to something like HardSPL. I am pretty much trying to revert the phone back to it's original state. Any help would be great. I could not find any information on this in the FAQ.
Thanks!

just flash the spl you want to revert back to. just remember, when flashing the spl it will wipe the current rom off of your phone. so after flashing the hardspl, youll need to reflash whatever rom you want to use after.

Thank you, I could not find this anywhere.
