How can I revert to Sprint 6.1

ultra74 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-20-2010, 06:39 PM

Does anyone know where I can find the Sprint stock 6.1 flasher, if there is such a file.

I have updated to 6.5 and would like to revert. Is there a similar program as the one from HTC that I can execute to flash a sprint 6.1?

Thanks.

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/17992; U; en))

upgrades part of the forum then fine the stock rom thread and download 6.1 sprint stock.

Thanks,

I did a search before posting and looked in the wrong forum (Software). I thought that one was for unlocked and cooked roms.

I posted this exact question this morning. (Searching would have resulted in the same thing you asked)

In fact, it should have brought this up when you were typing this thread. No harm done, just search before you post

adam12,

I've been using it since Friday morning, or trying, and it seems a bit of a step back. The UI is actually a bit cluttered for me.

I had some simple registry tweeks in 6.1 and it was fast, slim (disable pushinternet) and pretty usable stock.

From what I could see, 6.5 did not come with added functionality other than UI additions.

And unfortunately it is pretty bloated RAM wise, and battery time went down drastically. I could last a day and a half before and now it just makes it to the end of the work day.

Don't get me wrong, I've been trying to make registry changes but there are a lot of Sense UI settings not available directly or via registry entries.

I think I'll try it again when the tweeks have been straightened out some more.

Well for one it seems Sprint/HTC/Microsoft, one of them disable the light sensor...I was in HDtools and say it was disabled....that helps with battery life....I re-enabled it and did some tweaks...but my main concern is how bloated this device is with all the crapware installed....I hate the fact that I can't uninstall stupid programs like NFL, Nascar, Stupid Music Store and so on.....I'm betting that a good majority of the RAM being used is all that crap....And Sprint know this phone has a slower processor should have know to stip it down a bit so that it atleast ran semi smooth....I'm sorry but 100-120 of the someodd 180MB this phone has for memory being used, is a crock of crap.
