Need to send Vario II back to T-Mobile

Hi Guys,
I need to send my vario ii back to tmobile (for the 5th time now ) but as ive got JJ's Black 2.5 on it, i dont suspect they are going to be very happy and void my warrenty.
Is there a way to put it back to exactly how it was when it came out the factory (or good enough so they cant really tell) for me to get a replacement?
Thanks
Jas

- If u have radio bootloader >=0108, you can put everything back except the radio (when you flash a radio with 0106 on it, you'll get a NoGSM error).
- If u have raido bootloader <=0107 you can put everything back.

is that the IPL or the SPL?
Thanks for your help

Are these installed when new radios are flashed?
Radio 1.40.30.00
or
Radio 1.41.00.10
Thanks

yes, both have 0108.

So what's the latest+best radio for TMOB UK, which also allows the device to be restored to its original state? I want to upgrade but I still have warranty left! I gather the 1.05 radio it shipped with is not the best.

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.

thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.

hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.

one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks

Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

touch diamond rom update

Hi i have a HTC TD device and I am traing to update rom from 1.93.401.2 to 2.03.401.2 but not sucssesifuly and at the end of update update utility shows this massage : 270 update error , the image file is corrupted, please check youre update utility.
This is frustrating because i tried all possibilities to fix a problem and still nothing, does anybody have any expirience with something like this to help me thanks a lot.

have you tried downloading the rom again?
Is your device locked by provider? If yes, you have to hardspl.

I seem to remember that error 270 means that you need to udate your bootloader, Try flashing an updated HardSpl.
And remember olinex has two spl's, one for gsm and one for cdma, they are not interchangeable.

thanks
Thank you i solved my problem i have know that olinex is for gsm and cdma i am fixed with hard spl 1.34 and now work perfect and after this long problem resolving now i know everithing about rom because i have try everything THANKS A LOT AND STAY GOOD AS WHOLE THIS SITE IS THANKS AGAIN

Error 270 when flashing to 2.03 stock firmware
I had the exact same problem. I went out on a limb and try something different and it worked! When you have just completed a fail upgrade (you see the 3 colored bars on your phones screen) quit the firmware update software, soft reset phone, re-connect to computer, and immediately flash to hard spl 1.34 signed. When finished the phone will reboot to and viola, you will have the latest firmware installed. At this point you can put back on the latest spl (1.40 I think) so that you can load custom ROM's. Just remeber if you want to get back to the latest stock ROM from HTC you have to rollback to the 1.34 SPL. Hope this helps peeps.

[TUT] HOW-TO restore Diamond to stock for warranty

Due to a hardware problem in my Diamond I needed to restore it to manufacturer default. I didn't find a guide to this and since I've done the research anyway I thought I'd put together this little tutorial as the information was somewhat scattered around the forum. I hope this guide will be of use for the community.
My phone was originally branded and sim-locked by 3. After I was through with it, it was SIM-unlocked, security unlocked and had HSPL, custom ROM and a radio ported from another device. The steps below is what I did to restore it to stock. All steps might not be neccessary for you. This procedure might also work for other devices than the Diamond, but of course you need other versions of SPL, ROM etc.
1. Backup everything on your phone to your computer - use activesync, PIMbackup etc and make a copy of your Internal Storage.
2. Make a hard reset (hold vol down + enter and soft reset) and chose to format moviNAND. This step is only neccessary if you want to wipe your Internal Storage before you send the device in for repair, but I recommend it.
3. Go to www.htc.com and download the latest stock ROM (includes stock radio and SPL). You find it under Support and you enter your s/n to get the correct stock ROM for your device, complete with branding for your operator. You can also find stock ROMS here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
4. Flash the stock ROM. Now you have stock ROM and Radio on your device. Stock SPL will not be installed until you've replaced HSPL with an older stock SPL and flashed ROM again.
5. Get RUU-SSPL and stock SPL from HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39. I used the stock 1.93 SPL. Some instructions and info about restoring stock SPL is in the linked post by cmonex and due credit goes to her. I will repeat some of that info to keep this guide step-by-step. EDIT: Stock SPL 2.03 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3359191&postcount=390
6. Put the .nbh file from the SPL you downloaded into the same folder as the extracted contents of RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip and run the RUU. This flashes an old stock SPL.
7. Flash your stock ROM from step 3 again. This step is neccessary to get the correct stock SPL on your device, eg. the one that corresponds with the stock ROM you've downloaded in step 3. It was not installed in step 4, because then you still had HSPL. In step 6 you've installed a stock SPL and now the correct stock SPL will flash along with the stock ROM. After this step I got SPL 2.03 on my Diamond.
8. Remove the Security Unlock from your device using the instructions and Security Relocker by Olinex from this post by cmonex: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3299516&postcount=492
Now, my Diamond is still SIM-unlocked. I have not managed to find any info about how to restore the SIM-lock, but it is hopefully not neccessary for warranty. As far as I can tell, the unlock doesn't show anywhere, but of course all they need to do is to try a SIM-card from another operator...
If anyone has info about how to restore SIM-lock, then I'll update this guide with that info.

I second that, it contains links to stock ROMs, that'll hopefully stop a million topics about it lol.

This does not work for me.. However i have a problem. the touch screen of my device is not working.. so i can't get pass the allign screen part .. and for somereason the ruu won't connect to phone when it is at tha part so i can't install the spl.. the only way i can do that i through bootloader and it flashes fine but when i then look in bootloader to see the spl it still shows 1.40 olinex..

You're right, I tried it too. Flashing SPL through bootloader doesn't work.
You can try using JumpSPL instead, I've attached it in this post. I don't think JumpSPL will require any screen prompts on your Diamond. You can read instructions.txt in the zip, but it's just really the .bat file so you get an idea of what it's doing. Run the .bat, press enter at the prompts and run the RUU for your stock SPL instead of HSPL when asked. At your own risk, I have not tried this myself.

where can i read more information about jumpspl, how it works and everything?

Look in the Xda-wiki, search and google, and not just in the Diamond section.

I have just tried it and it gets stuck where it should run the JumpSPL.exe on the device. After a few minutes it comes with an error:
"ERROR: CreateProcess failed with Errorcode = 30123
- UNKNOWNERROR: 0x000075ab"
This is not good I just think its wierd that because of a broken screen it is impossible for me to get the stock spl flashed back on.

Sorry to hear it and I'm afraid I'm out of ideas. After all, my little tutorial is primarily aimed at those whose Diamonds have working screens...
On another note, my Diamond came back from warranty repair and the repair shop had not noticed anything that would void my warranty. In the meantime I got myself a Topaz and now I've sold my Diamond, but I'll be checking this thread from time to time.

Hey thanks bro..!! I need to give mine for reparing..
I have a hardware problem with the reset button.. Do you think I should flash my diamond back to stock? (I don't think they'll check the software right?)

I would restore it to stock anyway. Some workshops actually look for excuses/reasons why the warranty won't apply so I say you'd definitly be taking a risk if you didn't.

Another idea: maybe you can find some a VNC program that also works the "other way" with windows mobile, so that you can get a window on your PC with the screen of your device?

If you manage to install ANY stock SPL and then flash the correct ROM for your country and operator then you automatically get the correct SPL too, since stock ROMs include SPL. If you go to htc.com and type in your s/n then you automatically get the latest ROM for your device and operator.

I only link to the SPLs provided by olipro and cmonex in the hard-SPL thread. If you need closer info about SPLs I suggest you ask there. I only tried to revert back to stock SPL 1.93 myself and it worked just like described in first post.

Thanks Op
Managed to restore it no problem, but took ages

Flashing can't start, and cant't find solution the after searching the forum

So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.

1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?

Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?

Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.

Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"

Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))
Old roms here

Give olinex some cash for his Diamond Unlocker as this is the surefire way to fix it.

The connection between PC and PDA is made, because as I said there is a progress bar on the phone screen too.

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck
Badwolve1

What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.

Great!
Glad it all worked out
