How to get Touch Pro 2 back to factory ROM?

Hi, recently flashed my Touch Pro 2, about to sell it and need to have it flashed back to the factory ROM. Does anyone know where I can find the ROM file and then the steps of doing this? Im trying to sell it and want to put it back to stock. Any help is appreciated, and yes I tried a search, sorry if I did miss something.
Thanks
Mike

how about HSPL? do i put the stock on back? and how
Dude there are entire threads dedicated to how to HardSPL and put it back to stock. Additionally, there is an official download from HTC's website that is the factory installed AT&T ROM. Read the very first page of the HardSPL thread. It has links to what you need to return to stock.
Alternatively, why not just sell the phone with a better ROM on it to begin with?
The phone is T-Mobile not AT&T and also some people dont want to buy a phone that has been messed with and can tell the difference in the stock ROM and a custom one.

If you are selling ebay all you need to do is be sure and clearly indicate how the phone is set up. Also, you could advertise on the selling page that you can either leave the phone as is, or flash back to stock ROM - the buyer chooses. That way you may not have to flash back to stock.

[Q] I need help unrooting my phone.

Okay so I'm a noob with rooting Samsung phones. Well I think somehow I did a bad flash I used the one click method and ever since then I've had continuious problems with my phone. Nomatter which rom I flash I have the same problem a constant reboot that gets stuck in a bootloop and the only way to stop it is to pull the battery out also it shuts off in the middle of the night while charging. I was going to use odins unroot but every link I find is not working. I finally downloaded odin3 1.62 but I can't find the files or instructions to use it. If anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated.
The roms I have tried are:
Syndicate
Mammons 2.2
Epic experience
And I believe heroic.
Currently running mammons 2.2
Thanks again.
Check the stickies in the development section, there is even a link to the wiki which lists the instructions and has links to the necessary files.
To save you a couple clicks, go here:

The first link in the first post goes to instructions on how to use Odin. The second link is the DI18 file used to flash your phone back to stock.
I have never tried the 1.61 version of Odin, or the 528.pit file, but the page with the instructions has the older version and a link to the 512.pit... I know for a fact that those work just fine, so I would suggest using those first before trying the newer files.
Hey thanks for all the help. My Epic is back in working order. Need to find a better way to root now.

First off this needs to be in the development section, this is themeing. The best way to root is with the one-click posted by noobnl. Version 2.40 should be compatible with any ROM on here, and it is very easy to use. Just follow the instructions in the sticky in the dev section.

[Q] odin for downgrading

anyone know where I can get Odin to downgrade my samsung epic 4g?
I installed the leaked froyo rom. Its not bad, but I figured I would downgrade back to eclair then root it and install a custom rom from there

Please use the search before posting things like this. You can find odin at any number of links in the development section.
my bad, last time I was here and asked a question about rooting they told me to come here. I was worried about out of date information so I figured a quick question wouldn't hurt. Thanks though

Flash a stock ROM, EC05 would probably be good, but any stock ROM should work.
Custom and AOSP ROMs are never recommended until after you have everything up and running properly.

Need help unrooting and going back to stock on my samsung galaxy s III

hey guys. I am kind of a noob, but i have been rooting my phone for awhile. I installed cyanogen installer and let it do all the work and i am having a difficult time getting it off because it is simply not performing well on my phone and I would like to just go back to the way it was. I have heard some complications about upgrading to 4.3 and then rooting and not being able to unroot and go back to stock samsung. Any help would be great. Odin has been failing and I just feel stuck. How can i unroot and go back to 4.3 on my galaxy s 3? Thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been answered. I am just having a hard time getting everything in order.

If you are already on 4.3 bootloaders, then this should do the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Welcome to the forum! This should really be in the Q&A section. Also, if you'd searched the forum, you would have seen, at least, a couple of threads that can help you ...
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Guide to returning to stock 4.3 via custom recovery
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
Guide to returning to stock 4.3 via Odin. Please go to the last pages for the single Odin flash-able file
Either option would return your phone to factory stock ROM, unroot and install stock recovery

Thank you so much guys. I honestly bricked my phone earlier this week trying a different way and thankfully got it out of its endless loop. This worked. One more thing though. MY gps has gone to Sh*t. Any fixes for that? thanks!!

Glad to know it worked for you. Not sure about the GPS. You may try doing a factory reset to see if this will help.
