Can someone please tell me how to remove clockworkmod recovery and reflash stock DHD one. I was experimenting with ROMs and rooting but now I just want to go back to stock DHD everything. I restored my stock ROM from clockwork backup and have restored device to S-On and Radio S-On and unrooted but I can't seem to remove Clockworkmod recovery. I'm worried that I wont receive OTA updates beacuse of this. Any help greatly appreciated...
Follow my guide in Radio S-OFF tool's thread, "how to restore branded backup". You should now turn Radio S-ON to S-OFF and then follow the guide.

Thank you! I will try this!
Thanks, I think your method worked for me. Does the stock bootloader look the same with the 3 androids on skateboards on the bottom of the screen or does that mean i'm still on clockwork??

simplest test is to boot into recovery surely?
Within hours these excellent devs here at xda have patched or built a Rom including any new OTA updates, probably before you even know. Do its not worth going back to stock, considering what advantages you will lose. Your phone, up to you, but your reason doesn't make sense.
Can guarantee the official 'custom' gingerbread will be released at xda, also within hours of the release, including a lot of the devs patches.

I have done S-OFF, PermRoot and currently overlocking on my unbranded European Desire Z, but I need to send it back to HTC to repair my phone with some hardware issue under warranty.
What do I need to do? I have seen some guides here but they are all for the T-Mobile G2, and am worried if I follow it it will brick my unbranded European Desire Z.
Just unroot and use an official image! Then everything should be fine.

BAD. NO. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Flash a stock rooted rom first, THEN follow unrooting steps. There's a thread around here somewhere.

It's only bad if you have S-OFF only via the eng hboot (not gfree), and if you are trying to downgrade your ROM.
If you have S-OFF via gfree then you're fine, just flash the stock ROM back on. Then undo gfree via its options to set S-ON (see the Wiki).
Unfortunately my phone used the S-Off and Root using the old 'hBoot' method I followed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9143423&postcount=3
So what should I do?

What ROM are you running exactly ? If you are still on the stock ROM, and you flash the exact same version back, it will be ok.
I've made no mods prior to this. It was a brand new Desire Z so it was all stock.
Then I did the following:
Rooted and s-off via engineering hboot
Installed Visionary and applied Permroot
Installed ROM Manager for Clockworkmod
Flashed gtrab's godspeed 1.4ghz module via Clockworkmod
How should i go about this now?
Thanks.
i believe steviewevie already gave you the answer.
and to protect everyone here -- nobody is responsible for any problems should you have any - only you are.

You sure about that, Sherlock?
I'm not trying to hijack your thread so please know that but I want to make sure. I thought I could just use the unroot thread to unroot (thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971) should I need to but it seems as if I need to flash a rom now looking in this thread so just to make sure:
1) I rooted my phone via this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965
2) I installed clockwordmod and made a backup.
That's it! I'm going to freeze some apps in a min using Titanium but not uninstall them.
SO... question is, should I need to send my G2 back, what unrooting steps should I take exactly? thanks!
*edit* Ummm MORON* (me) this thread is for the Desire Z NOT G2 which is the phone I am talking about. Sorry, smh! *

Rooted and have S-Off and H-Off now.
Flashed new Kernel.
So if I do a Nandroid Backup now.
Does the backup retain my S-Off and H-Off?

It doesn't backup those two partitions at all. So as long as you don't do anything to them after the nandroid they will remain.
Thanks for the response.
What I really meant was that niw I've got S-off and H-boot done. If I'd to do a nandroid backup and explore sone other things (e.g upgrade to current OTA rom).
If I'd recover from this nandroid backup, would my recovered ROM srill have S-off and H-boot?
I'm thinking that I'd still be able to recover root and S-off capabilities but perhaps not H-boot.

Why don't you make a Radio S-OFF/Super CID also? And flash the update using the guide that allows you to keep root, Eng S-OFF, and H-boot capabilities? That's exactly what I did, and it works fine.
Hi
So I need super CID?
I'm still new at this stuff so will go dig up in it. If you could direct me to a specific thread it'll be great! Thanks.

^^ sure thing buddy first this guide for root(super user access), h-boot eng s-off. Don't worry about the top section on custom ROMS. Just start from where it says Method 1 and go to the end of the page:
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/desire_hd_installing_roms
then this guide for Radio s-off
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
Make absolutely sure you have radio s-off before loading the 1.72xxx update/ROM or any custom ROMs based on 1.72xxx build or otherwise you will not be able to get radio s-off and will also loose full root access. To test s-off do this. Power off device. Hold down volume down and tap power button once to enter bootloader. Once it loads up it should say eng s-off at the top. Then go to system info (or something like that) using the volume up & down to change up or down and tap the power button to select. Under system info it will say CID:1111111 (not sure how many 1's but you get the idea. If it says anything different such as next to CID you do not have radio s-off. For example CID-VODAP021 is s-on stock Vodafone Australia. CID:HTC__001 is stock unbranded with s-on.

To get the stock stuff just run the latest RUU. Please note that the latest OTA update is currently NOT rootable. I'm not sure if flashing an RUU put your phone back to "s-on". You may want to try running the latest 2.2 based RUU first since that can be rooted. Or maybe someone else can chime in and let you know if it is OK to run the RUU with "s-off" and not break the NAND unlock.
All RUU's can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
Good luck.
If you've updated OTA, you cannot run an older RUU. If you haven't, running the RUU will not change your s-off if you used unrevoked 3+ to root or if you flashed unrevoked forever (some other root methods use this for nand unlock). The RUUs are not rooted, but leaving s-off will allow you to reflash recovery and then flash a rooted rom.
If you're trying to fully unroot and go back to stock, you'll need to first flash the unrevoked s-on zip (assuming you used unrevoked) through recovery. You can then run an RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG.zip of the RUU through the bootloader. If you're attempting to unroot, look into one of the unrooting guides if you need more clarification. If you just want a stock setup but want to remain rooted, you can flash one of the stock rooted roms. If you're already on a stock rom you can just do a factory reset.

I recently bought a Desire (A8183) and it came with HBOOT 0.75.0000 and I am trying to get S-OFF on it. I tried using AlphaRev and it came up with an error in step 3. How do I overcome this?
The phone still works fine.

1st: Wrong topic, you should post it in Q&A.
2nd: Have you flashed any custom ROM??? If so, thats why you cannot S-OFF it, try any near-to-stock, froyo rooted rom and then try again, this will do the trick
Cheers

Oops, wrong subforum, didn't realise.
Yes I'm running a custom ROM I'll try a Froyo-based ROM and see if that helps.
It's a shame that Revolutionary doesn't support this version of HBOOT, is there any way of 'tricking' Revolutionary to S-OFF the 0.75 HBOOT?

You can always update bootloader... if you have a goldcard then put the attached file in the root of your sd-card, and then boot into bootloader and wait for it do do it's thing.. when it prompts you select yes. This will update your bootloader to version 0.93.1002
You shouldn't lose any data, but do make a backup of the ROM in recovery in case you get a bootloop.
Then run Revolutionary.

I downloaded the file and put it on the root sdcard... Bootloader seemed to just skip over the file though.
Do I need to change the text file in the zip to my CID or anything else? It doesn't like it
you need a goldcard, so it ignores the CID.. or actually.. what network are you on?
EDIT: Just noticed lol
Wait I'm downloading a Telstra RUU and I'll give you a new PB99IMG
try this. If not, then you can always use the RUU to do a full update, and then S-OFF and flash a custom ROM.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
I have four microSD cards at home and I've tried gold carding all of them... I don't know how successful I was cos I couldn't do what I wanted on the Desire HD

try the goldcard tutorial I posted.
Okay, well I'm gonna get to sleep now but I'll give you some advice before you go.
If you can't update the bootloader with that, I'd suggest backing up your ROM (if you havent done so already), flashing the RUU to bring it up to the latest bootloader version, and then using revolutionary.
Once you've S-OFF'd with revo. Use android flasher to flash recovery (Note: your backup will not work if you do not flash the same version of recovery) and then do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice.
Would you happen to know where I can get the original Telstra RUU from? I think that might be my best bet.
Thanks for your help!

I sent you a link on my other post, but I think the site is down at the moment.. I can upload a mirror for you though because I downloaded it yesterday

Thanks - this looks like it worked now HBOOT 0.93.0001, running revolutionary now.
Is there any benefit in upgrading HBOOT at all? What does 1.02.0001 offer?
Hboot 1.xxxx is the stock hboot for gingerbread. So it offers you nothing. By flashing a hboot like cm7 (most roms fit in this hboot), you get much more space for installing apps, because its /data partition is much bigger.

Hi, I've been a lurker of these forums for a long time, ever since I had a Samsung T939. I've been able to manage things on my own by searching and reading and applying the helpful tips offered but this time I'm facing a wall.
I currently have my HTC Expresso running CyanogenMod 7.0.3-Slide. I tried the instructions for S-off using the resources by AlphaRev and I get that my HBOOT 1.0+ is not supported. One recommendation says to flash back to stock rom and re-root. I was wondering if I could just flash Stock Rom with Root Access found at theunlocker.com: How To: Root the HTC MyTouch Slide (Exploid Method) (Updated 01.26.11) with ROM Manager to go back to the stock rom with root access integrated and then try the s-off procedure again and Flash CM7 again.
To get S-off you need to have 0.52 h-boot, so you need to downgrade unless you had S-off before I think. There's a thread but I'm not sure if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277266

It doesn't work. I followed the instructions carefully and got the same result as the other person that tried. I guess I won't be able to use custom fonts and splash screens. Why do some Mytouch have different HBOOT then? Grrrr.

You can't. Alpharev is the ONLY way to get S-OFF for the HTC Slide.
