O2 restoring original boot rom

Hi,
ok I'm a lil bit desperate right now
I got my XDA II mini today and saw an update on the o2 site and started installing it .. only to notice that it was for the XDA II and not the mini. So, this thing killed my boot rom. I then found your guys site and installed GER_11201_150_11210 RUU package which went fine ... but well, that thing is for T-Mobile and I don't want my xda to be pink
So, I was looking through the forums to see how I can get my original image as I couldn't find an O2 RUU package. So, I tried the ntrw.exe write to SD card (512MB) thing. Inserted it in my xda, did a soft reset and then a hard reset. In the display serial shows up... but I never get it to ask me Press Power to Flash ...
so a) what am I doing wrong an b) how do I get the german o2 image back on my xda?
thanks

ok I understand now why the SDCard update doesn't work .. because I didn't have a chance to backup my boot rom :/
Where can I get a GER o2 boot rom installer that works on my device?

alright, I installed the 1.12 WWE exe package with the help of MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
... copied the existing boot rom to sd card, and extracted it from there. Overwrote the first 416 bytes in O2_GER_1.12.01_big_storage.nb1 with those of the extracted image.
Now, it's flashing with the SD card ... I'm confident that it'll work, we'll see

ok, the flashing worked ... but O2_GER_1.12.01_big_storage.nb1 is not really O2???
So, where do I get the real o2 boot image?

As much as i know it´s included in the ExtRom....
You can install it manually.
Don´t know who, but someone uploaded "Promasters Autoinstaller 1.5.zip" to the ftp. Very nice application. I would suggest you try/use it. There is an Option to change the bootlogo...
Regards
Stefan

you have to install the extended rom manually!
check the ftp

HELP...VERY URGENT!!

Guys i did a very stupid thing this evening. I flashed my Imate Jam using the MAupgrade_No ID and the Greek Qtek firmware.
The flashing was good but now my Jam cant go pass the first screen and continuously reboots. It says something about illegal rom used....and reboots
Any solution to bring back to the former situation?
Please respond...i am really desperate

OK i figured out how. On my panic i couldn't even think.
God Bless the "search" button!!
But how could i get past this problem with the greek version qtek rom? It is locked and although it lets me upgrade (using the No-ID) on the first reboot after flashing it rebbots all the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yep proteus3000uk,
Get yourself a shipped rom from your own provider. Put your magician into bootloader (camera & power & softreset until it reads serial or usb, there will be no backlight) uncheck usb in the connection settings from activesync on your PC & connect usb. Now it will read usb. Start the shipped rom program.
Or download a dumped or Big Storage rom & follow sd-card
flash method including the copy of your id from (first 420 bytes or so from your own romdump).
Or send it back and pray/beg for warrenty.
First two options are preferred off course. I 'repaired' mine with the first option, while I only had a black screen. So no OS or whatever on the rom.
Goodluck, M

Well i think that the Greek Qtek ROM is the only ROM worldwide that is edited from its programmers to run a phone version check, even after it lets you install it on your phone.
If it finds a phone version other than Qtek (in my case Imate Jam) the phone cant get past the initial splash screen and keeps rebooting for ever!

Then put it into bootloader and flash it wit an i-mate rom. Dumped, shipped or BIG storage and get rid of this Qtek ... rom.
Have you tried anything else than this qtek rom and what were the results?

The original english tom (WWE) works just fine (as it should anyway). The thing is i was trying to install the qtek GREEK rom in order to have proper Greek on my phone.
Unfortunately the suckers have locked the greek qtek rom and they have compiled the actual lock into the rom itself.
Although the rom is installed just fine using the No_Id prog, at the first reboot the phone hungs and then reboots for ever!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I belief you can actually revert your magician back to the WWE rom and now you want help for unlocking of the Greek qtek rom.
This doesn't sound VERY URGENT to me, cause you can use your device only not in proper Greek, OK?
Can't help you with the unlocking though, maybe Buzz, Anansky or one of the other bright developers can.

Reverting to official RUU with HardSPL

I have been searching all over for this but it's probaly right in front of my face. I read that you need to get rid of SPL.nbh from official ROMS before flashing back with HardSPL. The problem is, the official T-Mobile Wing ROM that I downloaded is an .exe file. How do I go about removing the SPL.nbh file since it doesn't display folder contents or anything, just runs the RUU?
Sorry for the double post, I realized I was in the wrong forum

I'm uploading a zip file which will have the entire thing already to go.

Hang tight the link will be available within 10 mins.

Thank you sir. Greatly appreciated

Remove HARD-SPL On The Wing
This is the same tool used to flash your device when it was not HARD-SPL.
I replaced the RUU_Signed file and SPL.nh file already.
It will bring your wing back to the stanard rom as when you first got it.

One more question. I'm looking to keep HardSPL but I have to revert to original to upgrade ROMS don't I? I want to upgrade to your OT 6.5 ROM

Okay,
I thought you wanted to go back to the original T-Mobile rom.
If your trying to HARD-SPL your device to install one of my roms or another cooks roms then thats another story.
Please read my FAQ or one of the stickies.

Ok, I think I got it now. So I don't need to revert to the original ROM to flash it since I have HardSPL? Thanks for the help

wen i did this i think i bricked my fone now its at the tmobile screen and it jus staying there

I tried the file that you uploaded here...And it went thru the whole process of flashing the ROM, but after it updated my wing just stays on the T-Mobiel screen and never boots past that.
It had that open touch software on it and I don't want open touch. I want plan old WM 6.0 on there.
I called T-Mobile and got an offical 6.0 update from them, but when I try that one it gets to 1% then says it has a disconneted and I get a connection error.

So does this work? The two people who did this had problems. I need the phone to be all stock so I can have t-mobile send a free replacement because the screen is going on this wing.
***EDIT:*** Oka so this is the same as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364543&page=2 the first time I tried it it froze at 15% on step 2 so I installed the RAPI CAB like it says. Step two completed, phone rebooted and had white screen then I got error 260 I think. I have the stock t-mobile rom on it and had it on before I did this but it still has the yang from when I did a hard spl. Is there another way to get it to stock or am I doing something wrong? Plug in phone, let it sync, run herald-uspl.exe hit enter and so forth.
***EDIT*** Ok so this time it completed but is now stuck at the T-Mobile screen and I am now unable to even flash because I can't get past it And that damn yang still shows up in bootloader. Well went into bootloader and flashed from there so phone works but the damn yang is still there. And on a side note: Has anyone ever had a problem with their screen going very dark after flashing a rom from here? Phone was fine then I flashed OTP v7.4 TouchFlo 2D Lite.nbh yesterday and at night screen started going dark, would light up when opened in keyboard mode, then switched and then both were very dark and hard to see. I then flashed to OTP v7.3.1 TouchFlo 2D Final.nbh and still dark. Then I flashed to stock rom and have been able to see the screen since.

This is stupid easy to do... im shocked there isnt a post going into detail.
5 steps to going back.

Did not work. Do I need to install the cab files again? I know I deleted a file out of the stock rom so it would not overwrite or verify or something but I put that file back, should I not have? This has been a few weeks and still can't get the yang off. Screen on my girls phone is almost dead, she can't even slide it any more so I need to fix the spl so I can send back to t-mobile....anyone ?

this is what i do to get back to the tmobile orginal. download the software from tmobile. I downloaded the newest update from tmobile site. REMOVE YOUR SD CARD. Connected my phone via usb. Launched the update. It has never failed me yet. It is just like updating your phone. tmobile has to take it, it is their update. They sent me a new phone noproblem, matter of fact i have to do it again, the back on the phone keeps getting loose on me. so they are sending me another phone again. hope this helps.

Alternatively you can use the combination of uspl and stock rom ruu to return your device to stock tmobile rom...
1. Enter in to uspl like you were falshing one of ttran001 roms... You can get this HERALD-USPL-beta3 from http://rapidshare.com/files/79249048/Flash_Center.rar
2. ONLY use steps 1 and 2 from the black screen (getting the white screen on your device)...
3. For step 3 in the flasher exit out of the black screen (windows cmd screen) by pressing ctrl+C...
4. Fire up the official ruu from tmobile found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358030 or alternatively if you have a tmobile account still active you can get the most up to date rom from http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
5. Fallow on screen instructions...
6. Back to stock rom...

Being stuck at the Tmobile screen isn't a true brick. Just reflash your ROM. (If you're not HardSPL'd, reflash your RUU.)

Remove Hard SPL from bootloader
Hi,
Anyone out there knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader of Wing. Problem is my mobile displays splash screen, then switch offs by itself. Its been quite some time that I have hardspled it and have been using it. But recently I am facing this issue, so I am trying to move to original RUU and try if it works.
So for that anyone knows if we can remove hardspl from bootloader, because I am only able to enter bootloader. Moreover I tried several original roms from Flash Center as well as through SD card as well, but still be SPL version is 4.70.yang. Anyone knows any other alternative.
Also, if anyone has faced similar problem then kindly advice how you resolved.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,

Welcome to the forum
Please READ and SEARCH before posting...
Have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Ship_exe

so these roms are .exe files. when i flashed my cooked rom it was a .nbh file and i just put it in the root of my storage card and when to bootloader mode. for this original rom thats an .exe file, how would i flash it? please help me because i don't really know. sorry for the inconviences, im still new to this stuff.

................connect your phone using a usb and make sure an activesync connection is active. Run the .exe and go through all the steps. It starts flashing and the percentage bar shows. It finishes and re-boots. Your done ....

and no need to do a hard reset after flashing original rom

thanks. i have one more question. if i flashed a rom using the storage card method, when i change my rom say to another cooked rom, do i just add the new .nbh file to the storage card and delete the old .nbh file containing the old rom?

Me = n00b
I have a touch diamond (gsm) with 6.5 but I wan't to downgrade to the original 6.1 rom from htc's website. Will hard-spl (olinex) prevent me from doing that?
Thanks in advance

No it wont hurt, in fact the hard spl will be reverted back to HTC original one, so all is well. Dont worry and just go for it... just curious, why you flashing back to original?
