[Q] Back to stock ROM/OS from NAND Android for warranty exchange....for newbs.

---

Please forgive me if this has been answered in another thread already. I have 1-month old twins and don't have a lot of time to search for the exact answers I need. Plus, I'm a long time lurker and follower of dev instructions, but could not do anything like I do with my phones without the help of this forum. I need help!

I'm one of the HD2 owners with the ribbon cable/screen hardware issue. I did figure that part out on my own. See the links below if you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm under warranty, but I've NAND flashed Android onto my phone. I never paid attention to how to undo this because I have total replacement insurance on my phone. If a non-warranty issue ever came up, I had planned on just smashing my phone with a hammer and paying the deductible to get a new one. My current issue should be fixed for free under warranty, so I need to flash the stock OS/ROM and hard SPL.

1. I need to backup my phone, so I can easily reinstall all the programs, libraries, and databases that aren't on the SD card.
2. Then, I need to flash the USA T-Mobile shipped WM OS, and I'm told I need to change the SLP back too.
I can follow instructions and i'm quasi tech savvy, but if you start speaking in code, it's all Greek to me.
If there is anything I'm forgetting, please LET ME KNOW! Do I need to flash a different radio too?

I would appreciate any help, preferably in detailed instructions, you have on getting me back to warranty coverage status, so I can send my phone in for repair. I hope someone stickies this for the other novices out there. There seem to be a lot of others with this same issue right now.

Go to part 4) for a guide on uninstallation. Note however, since you said you have a t-mobile HD2, download a t-mobile rom. Look for it in the t-mobile site or here. Doing this will make everything a-ok.

THANK YOU

Thanks. I think I should be good now. I'm just hoping there isn't something I'm forgetting or don't know about. I'm always paranoid when I send a phone in. I posted the following in the link you sent me.

I'm sending my device in for warranty repair, so I'm going back to the stock ROM from NAND flashed Android.
I downloaded the US T-Mobile ROM from their site, extracted and renamed the RUU_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh, put that file on the card, and reset while holding the volume down button.
Now I'm stuck on the tricolor screen that reads:
PB81120 SS-B3
SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x05
Serial

I'm stuck on this screen, and afraid to try to do anything else out of fear of bricking my phone.
What should I do next?

EDIT: Found out what I was doing wrong. I was holding the volume down button too long, so it was skipping the boot loader. Pressing shorter got me into the menu, and I was able to reflash with no problem.

I can't believe it's this easy!

My only question is, did this change everything back to when it was shipped to me? I have the T-Mobile WM USA ROM running now. This changed back my SPL too, right? Also, do I need to change the radio, or did the stock ROM take care of that for me too? I don't want to hear that I voided the warranty over some little thing I forgot to do.

you might need to check the spl version fromthe boot loader

thanks for the tip

it reads:
PB1120 SS-B3
SPL-2.10.000 8G XE
MicroP(LED) 0x05
MicroP(TOUCH) 0x05

i'm pretty sure that's correct. i'll look it up.

new phone, no internet

so the new phone arrived today. i installed HSPL and the android build i had on the previous phone. the only problem is i don't have cell internet, only wifi. i can make and receive calls though. i just can't use the cell data connection. i've tried turning it on and off in the settings, but that doesn't help.
is there something i'm forgetting? do i need to flash a different radio?

solution found
