Need to retrun back to Stock on HTC Desire HD(Indian)

I need help on reverting my Desire HD back to stock.
For this I understand I need to flash stock ROM (RUU). In this case I need to flash RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which is the Indian version for DHD.
However, I am unable to find this RUU.
When installing a custom rom after having rooted my phone I did take a backup using rom manager. So I do have a backup of Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which I can restore ... but I will still have root.
Question: Is there a way to remove root after I restore the backup and also remove ClockworkMod's recovery?
If the above is possible I can then update my phone to the latest firmware from HTC which I guess is 1.84.720.3.
Please help..

There's an unroot option in visinonary.

Yes there is... will try that and what about ClockworkMod's recovery? will that affect the OTA update that I try to apply after I use the unroot option?

Shouldn't do, I once tried something similar and everything was okay? The OTA's installed as they should. The problem is the RRU you require hasn't actually been released which is a shame as I would expect Shipped-Roms to have a copy.

This is not the first time... I had a similar problem with HTC Hero, the Indian(Airtel base) rom was never released for download and when rooting the first time I did not take a backup of the original rom coz of which I was unable to update using the OTA.
So you saying I should go ahead with the unroot process and the OTA can then be applied? I really want to do this since I am flashing my phone every alternate day with a new rom released at XDA.. either 2.2.1 or 2.3.. need to stop doing that .. atleast for a few months till HTC releases a stable 2.3 sense rom for DHD.

vickyclewis.. thanks for the direct file download... will check it out once out of office.
Also the steps mentioned for flashing this.... I found the below in one of your post:
=====================================================
PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
=====================================================
I guess you need to mention that the user has to get to the bootloader to install this...
Thanks once again..

Root and Goldencard

Hello!
When I bought my Desire, I asked the seller to root it and to flash it with another rom for me.
Then I read something about a goldcard. Since the original rom was from Orange (French provider) and the previous owner had it unlocked (officially or not I don't know ), will I ever have to use a goldcard? As I don't have a goldcard, what can go wrong?
Thanks!

Goldcard is a tool which is required when you try to flash stock ROM. There are a myriad of reasons why you might need to do that in the future.

Here is the method I used:

If you do not have a goldcard you could be unable to flash an ruu. You need to do this, if you want to set your phone completely back to stock. You need to this, when you want to "delete signs" of root, s-off and installed custom roms. So that when you sent your phone back to your provider/seller, you can assert a warranty claim, although you lost it with rooting (and so on) your phone.

Ohhh shh**tt!!
@stringer7: thanks for the link.
I have a backup of the original ROM. Can't I just reflash it to restore the phone back @stock? Can I still make a goldcard?
Thanks for your help!

As far as i know, you can make a goldcard at any time. It's just important to have one.

You shouldn't need a Goldcard- but it's completely optional and beneficial in some ways

Well I plan to give my Desire to my Mom and buy another phone, I don't want her to experience any rom related bug so I'll turn it back to official rom...
Can I simply reflash the backed up official rom? Will I lose Root and/or S-Off?

Yes you would then lose root and s-off.
You could reflash your backup - but if it's a nandroid backup, that would have been done after you rooted wouldn't it, so you would get rooted official rom.
So best thing is find the ruu for your device and carrier, create goldcard and run the ruu? You will find tutorials on XDA for this!

Rooting a phone does not take the branding off it, flashing a Rom with no branding does that... For example, my phone provider is virgin mobile, when i rooted it I still had virgins logos and apps on my phone... When i flashed a custom Rom, I didn't

Reverting back to stock

Hi all
Could anyone point me in the right direction so I can flash my phone back to the stock Rom please?
I've got a HOX now and want to sell my HD to a website online, but I'm afraid they may send it back because of the custom Rom I have installed.
The phone was purchased about a year ago and was on the orange network.
Any help would be appreciated.

since u already have a custom rom installed tht means u are s- off, u need to get e-off , in case u have both of them u are ready to go download the corresponding ruu for the phone flash it through fastboot. i would prefer using a pd98img.zip. this will put ur phone again back to stock like brought from the store.. make sure u dnt flash a froyo ruu on a DHD shipped with gingerbread RUU, it will mess up the phone.

Use the advance ace hack kit (look for it in google). It has an option to revert back to stock.

I'm a bit confused about the pd981mg file. I've googled that but it comes up with a lot of variants of it.
Could you help me please?

With the advanced ace hack kit there is no need to download anything as it does everything for you.

yes Advance Hack Kit can also do the job, but it can also mess up the phone if not done properly and moreover if u want to be more specific about which stock rom u want to return to thn ruu is the best option.. here try this one http://goo.im/ruu/ace download the ruu its in exe format just run the exe rest it wil do by itself.. P.S: Advance Hack Kit is the best and easiest software for returning to stock or root or any other stuff only whn used according to the instructions.

My CID is HTC_J15. any specific tools for its recovery to stock rom ?

Why do you need to revert to stock ? You just rooted your device; fully remove the SuperSU app, put back the recovery & boot.img you'll back to stock. Or restore your nandroid backup.

That happens because you don't follow the instruction for each custom rom carefully. Like you don't follow the advise to make a nandroid backup before you proceed rooting.
I can't help more than this as I don't have the ARA device, use the power of internet and search engine to look for RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_ARA_2.23.415.1_Radio_20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.120_release_276387_signed.exe

[Q] Can we Root: HTC One X with OTA -Stock Jelly Bean

Hey Guys,
As you can see the name of the title, I have a HOX and I relocked the Bootloader and ran the Stock RUU and after doing that did a complete OTA update from ICS to Jellybean.
NOW... All i want is to root my phone again so that i can use Apps like CoreControl, Addfree etc.
Please tell me if I can root my phone again and how?

Thanks bro. I was looking for this answer on google and no had seem to do this... Full OTA and then root.
I think I would wait until someone makes a root method for Stock JB (OTA) on HTC One X

It's exactly the same process as with ICS. What's the problem?

Yes and please do not forget to backup the original JB rom before you root and put a custom rom .... so you can go back to stock at any time, there is no RUU available yet to get it back to stock at the moment.

Nandroid is ur best friend when coming to installing any ROM. Don't forget it. It'll save a lot of time if any problem is encountered.

To be honest if you look here in the Q&A part of the forum you will see at least 8 posts with exactly the same question !

How to find a ruu is for every cid number the same process ! And this process has been covered millions of times in the Q&A.there are also clear guides in the dev thread under stickies. It should be mandatory to read them before continuing.
Don't know what else to say about it !
