Yes, you can.
This thread also has the file you'd want .
It's just the RUU file; download it, connect your phone to your pc, make sure the drivers detect your phone, and run the RUU, this will bring your phone back to Stock (factory defaults).

yeah i need to take it back to sprint, coworker hates the phone

Moved to q&a section.

I run the RUU, and the phone gets stuck at the HTC screen, and the RUU gets a USB connection error 117 i believe it is. What now?

Which RUU did you run? What version? Did you use the link you had or the link I provided?

I got the same HTC screen and USB error when I just attempted to go back to stock

I got that when I tried to do mine the first time. I had to start going through it and wait for it to put the phone into whatever mode they use(black BG and it says HTC), then wait for windows to find the drivers for it and install them. Once they are installed you gotta reboot, otherwise it just comes up with hardware not recognised when you plug the phones in with the black screen. Don't reboot the phone, start the process over with the phone already on the black screen and it should go smoothly from there.

s-off HELP!

HELP! I have been running S-OFF rooted since I had the phone. today I am gettting the 5 vibrated and green blinking LED and I see the phone is now S-ON .. how do I fix this so it is S-off? I can boot into my system and the phone gets to sense but WHEN it needs SU access and root, I get the 5 vibrates and the phone goes dead. How can I change back to S-OFF?

Thread moved to Q&A.

download the s-off zip form any root thread and place it on your sdcard and flash it again. It will most likely be named PC36IMG.zip or download the zip below and rename
You will have to boot into bootloader to do this then follow the instructions

YES.. I cant get to RECOVERY.. Im on the white screen that says HBOOT 0.93.0000
IM on 3.70 so I think that is the issue.. is there a flashable s-off for 3.70?

Had the same problem. Nothing is going to work. Its a hardware issue. Just send it to sprint and get another one. Dont waste your time.

I have not found one as of yet but did you put your phone in bootloader mode and add the driver
bootloader then go to HBoot USB plug the phone in and check your computer. If you have HTC Sync loaded up on your pc please uninstall as well.
If this does not work I advise getting a stock RUU for 3.70 and returning your phone to stock and then rooting it again.
View attachment PC36IMG.zip s-off HBOOT give it a try

Your phone should currently be off and unplugged. Plug the usb chord into your computer but leave it unplugged from the phone and follow the steps on this link EXACTLY
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_installOnce you have done this proceed to step four, dont proceed until you see "Android Bootloader Interface" in device manager when the phone is attached, when you see this unplug the phone
Then run unrevoked

I think it would just be easier at this point to revert to the stock RUU and reroot it. Save you all this trouble shooting

Evo Stuck in Boot Look [HELP]

I cant even boot into recovery. Any ideas? I was using it and it just restarted and I cant do anything at all. It goes to the white htc evo screen and then reboots into a loop. Device is rooted btw.

You're not fully unrooted. [Not saying that it matters]
It's more than likely there's something wrong with the phone psychically.
I'm guessing you used the unrevoked method to root?

You can just download this file and rename it PC36IMG.zip, place it on the root of your sdcard and go into the bootloader and accept the update.

Tried. My Bootloader was updated, but I still have the white screen boot looped.

Have you ever used SD-ext?
If so you should wipe that and see what happens when you boot up.
Otherwise, you might have to just take it in. :\
You could also try http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip that would give you a recovery again and then you could try flashing a different ROM and just seeing if it works.
While in recovery try this zip to format all:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ikylelx99c49133/Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip
Like I said, it's likely that you are gonna have to take it in. :\

Ahhhhh!!! I have insurance, but im sure ill have to pay the $100 deductible. Which I refuse to do. Id rather wait for a phone I want to upgrade to (Galaxy s II potentially). What can I do with the phone at this point?

You may not necessarily have to pay the deductible.
Get s on.
Flash the recovery I linked, get the s-on zip from unrevoked and flash it in the recovery then re run the RUU and you'll be entirely stock
If it keeps doing it then take it to the store.

I cant even get into recovery. ZIp says successful but doesnt work

Flashing any of the 4.24 RUU's should automatically give me S-On right?

Cannot access recover mode

So I've been trying to root my dads old Desire for a while now, with no success - it is locked to o2 and I'm on Orange. I didn't really want to pay to unlock it, and rooting it would have been nice. I've done two phones before, so I figured it shouldn't be too bad. Eventually I discovered it was HBOOT 1.03, and this was the problem, so the solution was to backdate the software to an earlier version (the phone is still S-ON and I cannot get this thing to take ANYTHING)
I was trying to roll back from Froyo to 2.1.
The current problem is that now the phone will not boot. With a simple turn-on it just sits at the white HTC screen, or if you go into Hboot it tries (what I assume is) 'fastboot' and checks the PB99IMG.zip file on the SD card. If I say I don't want to update and go to 'recovery' it loads the screen with the exclamation mark in a triangle in it. The problem here is that pressing up+power does nothing. I've tried a quick press, and a long hold multiple times, and with no result except the first time. Unfortunately I didn't go through the proceedure the first time, assuming it'd work again. Damn!
If I start the update it says 'can not roll back the hboot version'. It also fails on the radio_v2.
Any help will be much appreciated, and if you need any details (I've probably missed something) please ask!
Thanks

If it fails with Radio_v2, then it's a radio brick, and that's the reason it won't boot. I'm afraid you can't do much, due to the hboot version.

I'm not too worried about getting a different rom on it, or rooting it or anything any more, currently I'd like to just put it back into a working state, as it was, probably locked to o2, if you've any suggestions on how to do that?

The one step here I'm halted by is producing a Goldcard - the link to the website on the tool doesn't work any more (I've scoured t'internet, and that's the general consensus). Any idea where else I can input the CID to get a Goldcard Image?
Also how do I run the RUU on my computer? What file is it in the HTC Desire Android Upgrade folder I need to run? Afterall, there's no file titled 'RUU.exe'
Thanks

Just realized that it wouldn't work, because you have to boot your phone for the downgrader tool.
You could try something else. Unlock your bootloader using the HTC Dev site :http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader, and then try installing a custom recovery.

So, that's on and working, but it's still locked to the carrier, o2. I've just tried 'HTC Desire unlock v0.9.5' but that didn't work (despite the program telling me it went flawlessly).

Returning to stock issues.

I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my new M9, unlocked, s-off also.
Found out that I have the battery is faulty, so I need to return it to stock, and get it back the shop for a replacement.
However, I stupidly didn't make a back up of my stock rom.
The CID of my phone is O2___01
I've downloaded the stock rom from this site, and flashed it using the RUU command. However when it flashes, then tells me to reboot, it still has Android Revolution HD on it.
I've spent a few hours browsing the forum, and still I've come to no avail.
Any help would be well appreciated!

You don't provide much information so it's hard to help. So let's start at the bginning: What firmare version are you using? (It's stated in Download Mode in the line with "OS" at the beginning.)
You tried to flash a RUU? Which one? Have there been any error outputs? If yes, which ones? Since you're S-OFF flashing a RUU should not be a problem at all so these outputs are very important if you want any help.

I tried to flash 1.40.206.8 -> 2.10.206.2 from this page
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/stock-nand-backup-ota-update-collection-t3132698
Also I followed this,
Code:

downloaded the correct RUU zip, tried to flash, got the error code telling me I need to immediately flash again which I did. Rebooted, and it just set up Android Revolution HD again.-
My firmware currently is 2.10.206.2
Im sure it's something stupid I missing out?

As far as I know Sneakyghost doesn't provide any RUUs. Those are only firmware packages that do not contain a rom. So it's no miracle that you're still booting ARHD.
You can download O2 RUUs from here, here or here. Any of the X.XX.206.X files will work since you are S-OFF. Do you have a SD card that is not bigger than 32gb? If yes, format it to fat32, copy one O2 RUU to its root directory and rename that file to "0PJAIMG.zip". If you then boot to Download Mode you will be asked to push the Volume Up button and the RUU will start flashing. If it reboots to system instead of rebooting to Download Mode you will have to power off your phone and boot to Download Mode manually. The RUU will continue then. At the end you will be asked to push the power button so that your phone gets shut down. If you now start your phone you will be back on a stock system.
Be aware that there is no RUU for your current firmware. Since you're S-OFF that doesn't matter but your phone will be downgraded at the end.

Ahh no wonder! haha
Going to try this shortly, so will let you know how I get on!
After its flashed, I'll be good to lock again and go s-on? Then return to the shop?

Relock only after you successfully tested that your device is booting normaly. After that you theoretically could re-S-ON. (But I would never do that because there is always a risk of hardbricking your phone if you re-S-ON and there is anything still modified that you didn't notice. For safety reasons S-OFF should always be considered as a oneway.)
Edit: I'm not completely sure but I actually doubt that they will check whether your phone was S-OFFed or not. If I think about the people who are working at the O2 or vodafone shops in my city I would say they do not even know what a bootloader is...

Agreed, use the s-off command to change back to "LOCKED" and leave it s-off. Too much of a risk otherwise.
If in the unlikely event they see it, you can play dumb, because a few rare people have gotten s-off phones from the factory and it doesn't prove you did anything.
