Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

I am bringing my Mogul into Sprint tomorrow. I am currently running no2Chems 6.1.

How would I revert to an official ROM so I can bring my phone in and not worry about a loss of warranty?

No re locking or anything is needed?

No just flash the stock rom....no need for BL or disabling AS....just run the file and it will be all good...just make sure you are using 3.35 if you have either of the GPS enabled radios installed now....you do not need to re-lock...

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

I thought he needs to re-lock after the flash if he doesn't want the technicians at the store to know he flashed the phone. That does void the warranty, complicating getting it replaced. I'm pretty sure that's what he was referring to. Reading that thread, though, it sounds like the relocker doesn't work for GPS ROMs anymore. So what's the story?

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

So will flashing a new ROM replace the bootloader? Like I'm using one of DCD's ROMs and have the Olipro 2.40 SPL. Will that overwrite to a HTC version?

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

No, only the official ROMs occasionally replace the bootloader.

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Actually, yeah that's what I meant. When reverting back to a official ROM will it overwrite the olipro bootloader? Or is it only when there is a radio upgrade as well? I'm using DCD 3.0.4 ROM and the 3.35 radio.

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Olipro 2.40 is compatible with the current official ROM, so no, it won't overwrite that one.

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

I am not sure if the re-locker is working or not....(but I dont think it is)....but I belive he wont have any issues as long as he reverts back to stock....2.4 bootloader is on 3.35...so they shouldnt notice anything abnormal..I walked my friend through it the other day and he turned it in no questions asked.....

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Ok, I don't think I'm asking the right question then. I get what you're saying. I want to revert back to the Sprint ROM from DCD's 3.0.4 ROM. No problem there. As said I just need to download and run the ROM. But I also want to go back to an official bootloader, whatever the current version is. How do I do that?

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

I wouldn't worry about going back to the official bootloader, check this thread I started and look at post #6 by holo . http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=28409

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

What radio are you running right now? And why do you want to go back to the stock BL? The reason I ask is because if you already have upgraded to the GPS radios then you cannot revert back without bricking the phone....which by the way is not a problem if you are looking to replace it....the 2.4 bootloader is on 3.35 they would have to be looking very hard to catch it.....most of them techs do not even know what the hell they are doing....there are also other ways to make sure you do not void the warranty....if you are still worried....PM if need be and I can fill you in....

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Thats what I been saying.........

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Although 2.4 may be the version of the current bootloader, the current bootloader is NOT labeled as "Olipro." Any intelligent technician who was suspicious could check for a half-second and see it's been flashed.

That seems entirely speculation to me, and not anything anybody in this thread could have said. Yes, most technicians probably won't bother to check. But for me, personally, "probably" isn't good enough.

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

I agree but they do not have too many intelligent techs.....but it will be nice to see some sort of work around for this.....I myself have a few different ways that I can make sure they do not have any traces of flashing, if I need a replacement or service.....dont wanna post it on here....... but if you look you will find what I am talking about....many others have posted some ideas.....I have my own ways that work.....lol

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Well, I'm running the 3.35 radio and it's pretty much incase I have to turn it it for some reason. I would imagine that a tech would just follow the directions or know the routine enough to continue, but like TurboFool I'd rather not leave it to chance. And I don't mean revert back to an older bootloader or radio, just back to an official one.

Re: Need Help Reverting Back to Stock ROM.
 

Well, "probably" is all you have at this point, like it or not. Unless you like Bricks with keyboards.

P.S. Your first sentence confused me abit. Holo "did" say it (though it was just his opinion). That tells me you didn't go the link. Funny, you posted in that thread too, lol!
