Help!!! "downgrading" to stock rom. Help!!!

[dlaponin]

hey guys i'm in the middle of russia at the moment on holidays seeing some family and ive decided to give my old hermes to my uncle however he doesnt understand english so i;ve been trying to put a stock russian rom on (one i found on xda wiki) as i have a cooked rom on there it wont let me downgrade now i know theres a different approach to stock roms than cooked roms but ive never tempered with them always put cooked roms on my hermes, diamond, and my current phone the HD. The internet is ridiculously slow with its 2g connection. so i've tried searching buts its taking me hours as opposed to 10 minuets.

info that might help.

i'm using vista (english) as opposed to xp or windows 7 that i usually use to do this.

the rom on there at the moment is "yahr" by marpelo

radio 1.54.30.10

any help would be appreciated i'm sure its simple fix.

note the rom is playing up at the moment and sometimes tends to loose connection when in tri colour screen, now it culd be due to me using the wrong approach or the phones playing up.

again thanks for the help

Install Hard SPL V7 then use sd card method to flash rom.
Just make sure sd card is smaller than 2Gb. You can also flash Hard SPL this way. Go to the Hard SPL thread at the top of the upgrading list of posts...

Cheers...:D

so i tired running it through a usb connection to no success as it drops connection when in bootloader. tried of a memory card it flashes a split second loading rom screen after the bootloader and its long enough to see no image found and returns to bootloader. i've tried renaming the file as per wiki xda instructions. at a complete loss. any ideas? let me know if theres any more info you need. Thank you great minds of xda.
