I never saw an answer to this question. But I did see someone say that they went back to 2.1 after they were running the new leaked 2.2 ROM. I also recall reading somewhere that once the new radio is updated, you can't go back.
If I am currently running Froyo 2.2 with version 2 radio, can I just RUU, then run Unrevoked to restore root, and then restore my nand backup to go back to were I was before I started, which was Eclair 2.1 rooted with v1 radio???
No speculation please. I want to know if this is possible. Preferably from a dev or someone who has done this successfully.
Thanks in advance!
You're making this way too complex (RUU, etc.). Just nandroid back and you're good.
Will nandroid also downgrade the radio??

The OP stated that he wanted to go back to V1 of the radio. So if a nandroid restore won't downgrade the radio, then what options are there?
I believe this is what you are looking for.

My question is... if you do this Froyo 2.2 as in the developement area, because your phone is rooted when you are done, I don't think you will be able to get any further updates until you un-root. So do we have to revert all the way back to 2.1 or radio version 1?
I think I'll wait.

No, the OP stated that he'd "heard somewhere" that he needed to go back to V1 of the radio. I said he was making it too complex, just nandroid restore.
Really, it's that simple.
I forgot to nandroid after unrooting and installing the 2.1 ota leak. I am now rooted with the 2.1 ota leak and flashed the froyo leak. How would I go about getting back to stock?
So if we had previous 2.1 nandroid backups we can just restrore those? (while leaving the new HBOOT and radio of course)
I just want to be clear.

I currently have 2.2 with the leaked radio update but the location services and gps are not functioning at all so I wish to go back to stock. Is it possible to go back to 2.1 stock using the PB31IMG.zip file from the Hboot menu? How do I downgrade the radio back to 1.0? Does the radio need to be downgraded before or after I flash back to 2.1? or does the radio downgrade matter?
Once your radio is flashed to 2.05 (newest version) you can put any rom you'd like on your incredible. You could even install your old 2.1 and it will work fine (if not better) than your old radio.
You should just be able to go to clockwork mod recovery and restore your last nandroid backup or get another 2.1 rom off http://incredibleroms.com
Thank you! I used the nandroid backup I had and everything is good. Is it possible to take the radio back down to stock if I ever need to?
the new radio is the stock radio. it's just the radio from the most recent OTA. You shouldn't ever have a need to downgrade.
so no need to have concern accepting any OTA from verizon if I manually applied the leaked radio update?

I believe the update will look at your hboot version.
If I understand correctly the hboot version is changed when I root? So applying the PB31IMG.zip will take me back to the original hboot?

Just do a wipe/factory reset and it clears the GPS issue up!
If I decide to update my radio and install a leaked froyo ROM is there any way to revert back to a stock phone?
Yes but not if you do unrevoked forever. Currently there is no way to revert s-off back to s-on. But you don't need to do that to run Froyo and an updated radio, and without it you can easily go back to 100% stock.
How would I go about reverting to stock? like if i want to return to stock 2.1 with original radio?
Just flash this zip file in recovery it will revert you to 2.1
Edit: ok it didnt take my upload for some reason the the zip name is PB31IMG.zip
oh so just reflash the stock 2.1 image and everythings back to fully stock?

I dont mess with my radio outside going to 2.x as for the rom which rom are you talking about?
Edit: Wait your stock 2.1 right now? If your asking about updating your radio so you can root and get froyo leak then just check out the videos from the guy I sent you above he has a video on updating your radio then just use Unrevoked3 to root
Currently I am running stock 2.1-update1, with a hydra kernel and s-off.
If I update my radio, am I going to have any problems with getting 2.2? Should I just wait for the OTA to come, and flash a recovery after I've installed it? If I do the radio update early, is my stock 2.1 going to keep working fine?
Seriously, nothing on this? What does updating the radio do other than allow 2.2?

I don't really know what your asking, and I'm sure that's why no one else has chimed in. But here is my best attempt to figure out what I can do to help.
To get the 2.2 OTA to install, you NEED stock recovery.
What I would do if I were you, and this is what I am currently doing -
keep S-OFF, un-root the phone by getting the stock recovery -
try this
androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/99828-video-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading.html - sorry can't post links yet. cmon MODs! lol j/k
and then you'll be able to get the 2.2 OTA and then be able to put clockworkmod recovery back on and attain root.
"If I do the radio update early, is my stock 2.1 going to keep working fine?"
are you asking, will 2.1 still work with 2.15x radio?
to put it simply - yes,
but with s-off, what I used to do, if keep a file of both the 1.x radio, and 2.15x radio on your sd card, and if you want to flash either one, just move it to the root of the sd card and either go back up to 1.x or go back down to 2.15x radio.
Thank you, that actually cleared things up perfectly. Sorry for the foggy wording.
If I'm now on the 2.2 US Update with 2.2 Boot SBF, can I/how do I get back to completely 2.1 stock? I know I can unroot, but what about SBF/ROM/etc?

No I dont think you can downgrade from an official 2.2, besides there is no stock 2.1 US sbf you can flash to at the moment.. This is the closest to stock US you are going to get.
Wait - I have a Nandroid of my 2.1 stock. Would that do it or that would put me back in the same place as being stuck in a bootloop since now I have a 2.2 SBF?
u can restore it and after that 2.1 sbf boot only file
and learn to use search function ..or use faq ...more or less all your questions have already been answered ....no need to open a new thread for each trouble u ran into
and for your camera problem ull find an answer for that in jboogies bluerless ginger thread i had the same problem
Hi,
I'm gonna get straight to the point. I want to revert back to the original Froyo ROM it shipped with (and had to downgrade to, in order to root it). I used gfree, got pretty much all backup images it made. Did forget though to make a NANDROID backup with Clockwork, so that's my point. Where can I find the correct ROM to flash, and how do I unroot it?
I've currently flashed my DZ with the latest Virtuous Sense, no carrier-lock. I'm from the Netherlands, should that make any difference.

Edit: It's now stock, Gingerbread and unrooted. No sweat.

If you're trying to revert back to stock for a warranty replacement (eg. you want to make sure "they" don't know you rooted), follow the guide in the wiki; if you're just wanting the stock ROM, it should be available on shipped-roms.com
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Okay, I've been there. Problem is, I don't have a single clue which ROM I should download from that page...
Stock froyo, grab this one RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe
its a rootable froyo rom.

The method used by the wiki to unroot needs to be changed at some point as it doesn't work for everyone.

Okay, installed it and works properly.
Is it safe to update it OTA to Gingerbread in this state? I haven't changed anything else than the new official ROM, so it's still rooted I guess.
You should probably put it S-ON, if you don't want root at all.
In which case you should stick to the froyo rom until you do it, then its safe to go up to gingerbread.
-Nipqer
Okay, that I shall do.
Another question (yeah, I can't stop somehow ): on the stock Froyo ROM, Twitter was pre-installed. I updated the app, and now I have two shortcuts in my App Drawer: one with the old logo, and one with the new, both redirecting to the same app. Anything I can do about this?
