[Q] Restore to stock settings

I have rooted and SOFF'd my phone and need to return it to HTC for a repair.
I want to return the phone to it's stock settings and can only do it by placing the stock .img file on the SD card and booting to fastboot as this is the only thing that works properly...
I did this with my Nexus ages ago but can't recall how I obtained the .img file.
I am currently downloading the HTC vision RUU - can I obtain the .img file from this?
Can someone point me in the right direction?

ok, how did you S-OFF your phone ? Because if you did it via the engineering bootloader, you need to be very careful about flashing a stock .img so you don't brick your phone.
What ROM version are you running now and what do you want to flash ?
Have you tried just restoring factory settings from within the phone, before you go through a re-flash ?

yep, I used the engineered bootloader.
I am trying to use the RUU from HTC but I can't turn on my phone so I don't think ti will work...
Is there a way I can do it from the fastboot menu?

What ROM version did you have on the phone when it went wrong, and what ROM are you trying to flash now exactly ?

Really, all I want to do is return my phone to as close as stock as possible before I return to HTC.
I can't turn it on beyond the fastboot menu but can sometimes access Clockwork recovery for 10min or so.
I am currently running Cyangenmod 6.01 RC4 but have performed a full wipe.
Someone please help! I'm happy to donate!

To answer your question, I am attempting to flash RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
Is there anyway I can flash this from recovery or fastboot? I can't switch on my phone and let it fully boot, that's all.

I'm not sure how the ROM versions work with Cyanogen. This is important, because with the eng hboot, if you try and flash an *older" ROM than you're currently running, you can end up bricked.
To be on the safe side, use the "debranding" guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 and that should let you flash the ROM safely.
Which HTC RUU are you downloading ? I have the European PC10IMG file (1.34.405.5) at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9728800/PC10IMG.zip
You can extract the PC10IMG.zip file from the RUU if you run the RUU, but then don't press any of the buttons that it pops up, just leave it and go back to your desktop. Then if you navigate to where your OS version has its temp files for your user, you'll find it in there.
Edit - ok, so that's the same ROM that I have there

I don't know if it's safe to do that with the eng hboot when running Cyanogen, that's why I suggested the debranding (gold card) method. Then once you've done that you can flash it from hboot.

all restored
The charging light even now shows up when plugged in which it didn't do before... I'm hoping this is fixed!

sounds like you dont have a recovery installed. i'm assusimg unrevoked provided you with S-OFF in hboot. use the file located here:
http://www.multiupload.com/H89AODJPP5
rename the file pc36img.zip, it will flash Amon_RA modified recovery for your phone. provided you have S-OFF, once this is complete, reboot into recovery and you should be able to flash any rom of your choice.

[GUIDE] How get root when u have S-OFF (after OTA or RUU install)

Hi,
may be its already known, but i just realized one cool thing - if u have s-off bootloader, u are still be master of your device, even if u have installed Stock RUU or OTA and lost recovery & root. You want to ask how ?
1) Take somewhere CWM image in .img format and rename it to recovery.img
2) Take file android-info.txt from RUU of Stock ROM u have installed
3) Put above 2 files into PC10IMG.zip archive
4) Copy created PC10IMG.zip to root of your sd card
5) reboot into bootloader mode (press and hold 'volume down' then 'power' until u see bootloader screen.
6) be patient while it find your PC10IMG and ask if you really want to flash it. Here should word RECOVERY.
7) Agree to flash (press 'volume up')
8) Wait while it flashes recovery, when it finish - ask you to press 'power' to reboot
9) Woala! Now you have custom recovery and free to flash any custom ROM or just Superuser update to obtain root with stock rom.
As i understand that way will work to flash any part of ROM (system, boot, etc.)
Btw, for those who scare - just tested that twice: 1st time flash old recovery 3.0.0.5, reboot into recovery and checked that version is 3.0.0.5; then flashed latest one 3.0.2.4 - now recovery is of version 3.0.2.4.
I prepared PC10IMG.zip with clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.4 - http://www.multiupload.com/6LOA99IGW1 .

i got my phone back from repair unrooted and with stock 2.3.3 rom. somehow it had SHIP S-OFF though and this worked for me. right now i'm doing a backup of the rom, and afterwards i'll try restoring cm7 from before i sent the phone in for repair...i'll keep you posted.

I went through this whole ordeal not long ago. I had eng hboot, radio s-off, root, nine yards. Messed up the rom I had, and had the official GB pc10img on the root of my sd card, not thinking (and needing my phone asap) I went ahead and installed it. I ended up just downloading the official ota update pc10img, flashing it, and rerooting/flashing eng hboot.
As long as you have S-OFF in the bootloader, you can flash ANY pc10img meant for the htc vision.

I managed to install CM6.1.1 so that I would have android 2.2 (not sure if this was necessary), got perma root and pushed ENG HBOOT. Now on CM7.1, no issues to report.

So does it work with stock 2.3.3? Great!
edit, where is "android-info.txt" ? Because i upgraded via OTA.

No, it only works with a previously rooted and s-offed phone with latest RUU installed. Then you still have S-OFF but stock firmware without custom recovery. This method will give clockworkmod back.

[Q] Flashing Stock Recovery...NEED HELP!!!!!

I think you'll have to S-OFF and root again and then flash the stock recovery using fastboot. Just use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 and instead of using a custom recovery use your "stock" package

No need to do s-off again.
If you are on hboot 1.01.0001 just flash the wwe_froyo_ruu. Or even you can use pc49img method. And if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to use pc49img method from froyo ota.zip of that hboot you used.
And if your hboot is 0.80 you can use the above 2methods of ECLAIR update. Or use unrevoked to point to the stock recovery image from the file menu (but remember on using unrevoked you will get root permissions).
EASIEST METHOD : Flash the ruu or ota that you have taken the hboot from (while reverting back to S-ON).

Thank you guys i'll try the above mentioned methods

Used the pc49img mathod bot during the fastboot it only reads the zip containing recovery and a blue bar atthe side appears but gives no option to install ......i think it is because that i have done s-on my device due to which it does not allow me to install recovery.
I think i should do s-off again and flash stock recovery using pc49img method and then do s-on again.....give any suggestions then i'll try

You don't have to do s-off.
Now in your case installing recovery through pc49img method means not just installing the recovery alone. If you extract the recovery.img file HTC signature will be lost. And it is in hboot menu and not fastboot menu. What you have to do is to install all official contents without extracting the file. And another important thing is sdcard must be fat32.
If you taken hboot from ota (during reverting to s-on), then this is the way. Extract the contents of ota and you will find firmware.zip . Now donot modify this firmware.zip and just keep it in the root of sdcard. Then rename the firmware.zip to pc49img.zip and reboot to hboot menu.
And if you have taken hboot from an RUU, then just run the RUU process.

The new clockwork uses .tar instead of .img files like the old one, so it wont detect old backups, all you need to do is downgrade to version 3 again and it'll detect your backup

What radio version do you have?

You need the attached file to downgrade clockwork.
Place it on the root of your SD card, then boot into your bootloader (volume down + power button) and accept the update.

Correction from 9:02 PM
Generally, you need to do three things before you turn S-ON.
1. (YOU PROBABLY ALREADY DONE THIS SO YOU CAN SKIP). You need to flash a custom recovery. You can use the same PC36IMG file that I gave you the first time.
2. You need to downgrade your radio (baseband only). Use the file from this link.
http://www.mediafire.com/?xlhm124ur4bnxln
Flash this file from your recovery and let it do its thing. Also, it is very important not to pull the battery during the flash, or it is a sure way to brick your phone permanently.
3. Then try the S-ON tool again.
Your phone may likely still read S-OFF. In that case, you will also need to update with the attached PC36IMG file (once you change the name) to turn S-ON.
Next you will need this PC36IMG file (once you change the name) to finish the unroot.

EDIT: From 2:11 PM
If that didn't work, then go to this link to download the fastboot drivers, then install them to your computer.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Boot your phone into the operating system, plug the phone to your computer, then turn on USB Debugging under Applications/Development.
Then download the RUU to your computer from this link
http://www.fileserve.com/file/TzDP8Je
Turn off the phone, then hold the volume down + power buttons at the same time. Hit the power button once the phone powers up and FASTBOOT is highlighted. It should now read FASTBOOT USB in red. Run the RUU from your computer and see if this works.

how do you run the RUU from the computer?
