Sprint Relocking phone for warranty/Splashscreens

I have to send in my titan this week to radioshacks warranty service to get a replacement. I have one of dcd's gps enabled roms on my phone right now. Can someone help me find a link for a post on how to relock my phone and put the official sprint rom back on my phone? I am using olipro's bootloader think its 2.4. Also, if I relock my phone and flash the sprint rom back on it will it get rid of my custom flash screens from ppc kitchen? Every time I flash a new rom on my phone the custom flash screen is the same and won't go away. Thanks!

what type of phone are you using (yes you can revert back)
Here is something for the kaiser but will give you an idea

Sorry all that and I didn't say what phone I have. It is a Titan through sprint

There doesn't seem to be a tutorial on your phone.... Go ahead and flash the original rom back for now and i'll keep sniffing around about the bootloader

Here's how you do it.. I've done it many times before on sprint phones.
1) "Re-Unlock" your device with a SPL that is overwritable. Read the thread here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30560
2) Immediately flash with the titan 6.1 ROM from sprint. This can be had from: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=75&cat=2&dl_id=73
3) Enjoy a completely stock device! To answer your questions, yes, this will put the device completely back to "Sprint WM 6.1 Stock". All of your boot screens, bootloader, radio, and OS will be exactly as it came from sprint (assuming you got a Titan after the switch to 6.1).

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Do I have to do the relocker process or can I just flash the sprint rom like I would any other rom? And what about the custom splash screen I was talking about?

Oohh.. one more thing.. You want to go back to "Sprint Official WM 6.1".. This technically is not "stock". Stock was WM 6.0 with a non-GPS radio. You risk bricking your device if you try to go from a GPS-enabled radio to a non-GPS-enabled radio.
It's not a big deal at all to send your device back with the "Sprint Official WM 6.1" ROM on it as this is a supported ROM from Sprint. Just wanted to make sure you understood the difference between "true stock" and "a supported Sprint ROM"

Kaiser - Questions about Unlock and HTC Rom

Hey everyone first of all i would like to thank all of you for all the amazing info. you guys really helped me with unlocking the phone took me almost the hole day as was getting errors but now that's set......the help i need is in firstly answering certain questions .......
1).....Is it true that if I flash my Rom again I dont have to worry about it getting locked again.
2).....When BootLoader Mode shows SPL-1.0 OliPof means I am ready to flash any Rom right? Or should I go through CID unlock.
3).....If I flash my Tilt with an HTC Rom will I still see all those ATT Logo and 3G Splash screen and will I have all those useless ATT software.
4).....If something does go wrong or I dont like the new Rom can I flash back; the reason I ask is because some said that you couldnt. Are there a lot of issues using an OFFICIAL HTC ROM... or have they all been fixed.
5).....Has the Keyboard Issue been fixed yet for the HTC Rom or not.
Thanks,

no sim locks are not reapplied with rom flash

1) Once you are unlocked, you stay unlocked through all rom flashes
2) You should go through the CID unlock if you want to flash a rom that is not meant for your phone (cooked rom ) Most roms also require a HardSpl update to 3.29 or 3.56
3) Yes, All the AT$T stuff is in the AT$T rom, it makes sense that if you dump the rom for another, you are dumping all the stuff contained in the rom.
4) You can flash back, forward, up, down, sideways, anyway you want to any rom you want as long as it is a rom written for a Kaiser. What is wrong with the OFFICIAL HTC ROM ? There are bugs in any rom, most are user initiated, program conflicts, or they just happen on one phone and not on another and no one can figure out why. Cooked or Official, they all have quirks, official probably less so.
5) There is a Tilt keyboard fix out and also an HTC keyboard fix out.
Just follow this tutorial step by step and you will have no problems,

Run touch pro2 with my touch pro

Hi all, i am new with wm phone. I am using my htc touch pro now and after i see the new touch pro2 i want to know can i install touch pro2 to run on my touch pro??? Is it called touchFLO 3D? or manila??? i want the new calender, contacts and the new sms in the new touch pro2

FLASH A NEW ROM TO YOUR PHONE...not yelling caps were on

It's probably not a good idea to create the same exact thread in multiple forums.
Go read what I posted in your other thread that you made.

thanks for the info, and sorry for multi post in the wrong forum will try to close that. And can i ask something? i've been reading the [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) from the start, up to page 35 for now (i need to finish another 80 pages or so to complete reading it up) but i don't seem to find any question related to what i want to find out so i might just ask it here;
As i am new to flashing rom, i know if i want to flash some nice rom to my touch pro (i'm using the singtel WWE stock rom)
1) i need to hardspl it so i can flash any other rom into my phone, flash the new rom that i desire etc.. and the important question is.. if i want to completely reverse my phone back to the original stock condition, stock hardspl / stock rom etc (like from the 1st day i got it, very very stock and original). I know i need to flash back the stock hardspl and stock rom and so on... So after all the flashing will my touch pro be like a really original stock touch pro??? Or will it be i am only flashing another rom but it is an original stock rom back to my device... Anyone understand what i mean???
2) Actually i need to ask about the radio thingy but i think i'd better wait for my 1) answer, cuz if i can't get my phone back to the original stock condition after i flash some wm6.5 rom in it i might not want to risk flashing...
Any advice are appreciated, thanks

hardpsl is a one time thing, once you flash it, you dont need to keep using hardspl to try new roms. when you want to revert to the original rom, just go to HTC singapore's site, under support, go download the rom. it will be the singtel wwe rom. if you're worried about warranty, there shouldnt be an issue, i reflashed the singtel rom to my phone before sending it to harborfront for repair, and there was no mention of me reflashing the rom, and they repaired my phone as required.
ps, you dont really need to read all 80 pages of the thread, just get to flashing. hardspl, then try the energy rom (thats what im using) and see how easy it is.
cheers,

[Q] Warrany?

Hey, if I upgraded my hd2 to android (flashed the NAND ROM) but now I realized that Android won't even run b/c of a problem I have had from before, and I want to send it back and get a new one...
So, i flashed back to the original WM version I had before, I went to HSPL and flashed to the 2.000 ROM instead of the hspl...
Is my warranty voided now? Will they know I did all this?
and if it is can, what about insurance on the phone they offer to everyone (I actually took it) that should cover the phone even if it is dropped in a lake, right?

You can just revert back to stock some times just by flashing an official ROM or just following a simple unrooting process just search for your particular phone, as long as you make sure you do that, they won't know that you did anything to it.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Thanks, that's great!
Now can any one tell me what all im supposed to do to put the phone back the way it was (the way the warranty people want to see it)?
I found a guide about the Diamond somewhere on this website [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537496], and also looked over some other guids, and I have some quick questions;
'stock ROM' is this the tmobile windows rom I had on before right?
The tutorial says when I flash the stock ROM that I should also have a new stock radio version, this is not the case with me I still have 2.15.50.40, can I download 'stock radio' from somewhere?
Also, what's the stock spl? How do I check that?
Sorry for all the newbie-ism in the questions;
Also sorry that it says warrany instead of warranty, something must be wrong with my keyboard.
Thanks for any answers

If your radio didn't change you can change it by flashing the original one just look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470306
Your stock ROM is wm 6.1, your stock spl is either 1.93 or 2.03 just check out here

How do you flash new rom to the Arrive

I've flashed my palm pre with ease. I've also done the same to my Samsung Transform. There have always been guides on how to do so. I'm having trouble finding any guide on how to flash a custom rom to my Arrive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

first: you are going to need to install HSPL. when you reboot with holding down the "volume - " button, what shows up as the SPL? 1.x? good, install the HSPL, anything higher? you'll have to downgrade.
Once you install the HSPL, it is as simple are running the RUU updater from ansar or the DFT rom
here is the HSPL

and here is the SPL downgrader

Thanks, for the help..
Those roms are horrible to download. Terribly slow and often lose the connection. I finally got both of them after several hours of retrying. Trying the anasr rom first

in my opinion the DFT rom is a bit better. Ansar's would not allow updating the PRL, and would also throw an error on reboot. DFT is running smoothly on mine for the past week.

I'm running the "DFT Freedom Gold_C V1 for Sprint"

if I am reading things right I need to run the rom upgrade utility to downgrade my spl to version 1.xx from the current 4.xx but I can't get the ruu to work, I keep getting error 260 connection. Any idea what I am doing wrong? The readme file says to reset the device and or the computer, which I've tried but still get the error.
Also, if I restore my phone to nodo will that accomplish the same thing (downgrade to spl 1.xx)?

you should only have to run the utility to downgrade the SPL. When you boot up the phone into the bootloader by holding down "Volume -" on boot, do you get the "Serial" at the bottom?
When you plug into your PC, does it change to "Usb" for that same line?

It does say serial at the bottom but it doesnt change when I connect it to the pc, if it is already connected to my pc when I boot into bootloader mode it does say usb though.
edit: I figured it out, apparently the driver didnt install

so, I've successfully flashed my arrive to the dft freedom rom and I love it (especially enabled internet sharing) but now I have a noobish question. Is the rom updateable? (through Zune or otherwise) or will I have to flash again and reload all my apps and contacts in order to apply an update?

This is why I've been holding off flashing. I haven't NEEDED the ICS yet and I was worried whether or not it would take updates. So I was going to wait until an update started pushing and see what everyone else experienced.......

Honestly, I'm not sure. But the chances of sprint pushing out any more updates is pretty low. 7720 is a very old build, you'd think that they would have done an update since then.

I currently have the stock Rom on the HTC Arrive on Sprint. For those of you that have done it, is it worth putting in a custom ROM?

I just finished flashing dft gold_c v1 rom on my arrive that I got today. I'm liking it a lot so far and it seems faster than stock rom. I like the additional apps and being fully unlocked for loading whatever I want. I'm brand new to the arrive but the flash went smoothly.

Awesome! I want to be able to backup all of my SMS messages before I do it though. Is that possible without the custom ROM?

Was unable to save my SMS without a custom ROM so I did it anyway. so far everything is working great. I'm using DFT Freedom Gold_C V1.
Anyone know the differences between the DFT Freedom Gold and Ansar's ROM ?

I haven't tried Ansar's rom yet since there were issues with the prl and network update functions. Now that he has a new tango version out that fixes it, I may try it soon. It will be hard to leave the dft rom because it works perfectly for me and I have it all set up the way I want it. The few added features of tango may make me switch though...like video mms.
