I have a nandroid backup of the stock (RUU) ROM, that I took before flashing a custom ROM (LeeDroid).
Part of the installation was to flash a boot.img, which I did.
Now, if I want to restore the nandroid that I took before flashing the custom ROM and kernel, do I have to flash a stock boot.img?
I was able to extract the file signed_boot.img from the RUU file. do I have to flash it before running the nandroid restore?

flash stock boot.img then boot into CWM and restore your back up.
this contains boot.img and stock recovery.img should you need that as well.

Thanks. Where is this boot.img from? how does it differ from the one that I took from the RUU?

I know that by installing a RUU we can get our HOX back to stock, and that we need to lock the bootloader again, but do we really get everything back to stock?
I mean, by installing a rom we need to install their boot.img to our boot partition, does installing the RUU overwrite it? Or do we need to install the stock boot.img manually too?
Thanks, Santroph.
RUU will overwrite the boot.img.
But it is no harm to flash stock boot.img before RUU.

Another doubt, what is the problem about having a different boot.img than the rom u are using?

Hey guys,
I have an HTC__044 device which is unlocked and running a custom ROM with a custom boot.img. I am wanting to restore the phone to stock ROM so I can download the JellyBean OTA.
I've seen the procedure for returning to stock RUU, but I am not sure on the procedure for when you have a full Nandroid backup of your stock ROM.
Could someone please clarify?
I understand it to be as follows:
1. Boot in to recovery and restore Nandroid backup of original ROM
2. Flash stock boot.img extracted from RUU via fastboot (or boot.img from backup directory on SD card)
3. Flash stock recovery via fastboot (or recovery.img from backup directory on SD card)
4. relock bootloader via fastboot
5. Reboot phone and stock ROM will be recovered
6. Download and install OTA.
Have I missed anything? Do you really need to flash back to stock recovery? I don't really see the point of doing that?
Thanks

U can try to relocked your bootloader and flashed the RUU for your device to return back to stock and waiting for JB updates.

Yeah, looks good to me.
You don't need to relock it if you're just going to apply the OTA.
To apply OTA, you need stock recovery.
Oh really? Cool!!
So I can just recover the NANDROID backup, and flash the boot.img then check it boots. then flash the stock recovery and download the OTA without re-locking?
I thought you had to lock the bootloader to get OTA updates as unlocked bootloader sets the CID to none, so no OTAs are detected, no?

I've never tried it, but as far as I know, you don't need to lock it, updates are based on IMEI, not CID, and although CID can show as all 1s in some places, fastboot oem readcid should return the correct one.
However it takes about 5 seconds to lock it and just a few more to unlock it, so... Your choice.
If you have the Stock RUU your device shipped with, just go in fastboot, connect to pc and run the RUU.exe.
If not, the steps in first post looks like a good route to flash back to your original ROM.
In my case it was shorter:
1. Restore nandroid backup (of the original ROM, did after root).
2. Fastboot oem lock
3. Run RUU
That's all.
You can try this too.

Well, the OP didn't ask for the RUU method and said he was aware of it.
What's wrong with:
fastboot oem lock
Run RUU

Before you do anything, the best thing to do is to check again what is the actual software version no.
Go to fastboot and type below command
fastboot getvar version-main
Tell us the no. written there
Then we talk about getting your ROM back to stock

Yours is same as mine, CID HTC__044 and 3.14.707.24
When reading your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055377 I'm a little bit puzzled on why do you want to revert to stock as your device is already on JellyBean and there is no further OTA at the moment.
Here are three scenario that you may need to choose.
1) You just want to revert to stock ROM but you still need to root it.
a. Flash the stock boot.img attached here (That's the stock boot.img for 3.14.707.24)
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot.. you are done .. you will have stock ROM but still on custom recovery in case you still need to play around like rooting the stock ROM or whatever you want to do.
2) You want to revert to stock ROM with everything complete stock with your nandroid backup.
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img (That's the stock recovery.img for 3.14.707.24)
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
3) You want to revert to stock with a RUU.
a) Download RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe from various site that you can it this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604 or you can download from where that I uploaded one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34971176&postcount=2487
b) Put your device in fastboot mode and relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
c) In fastboot mode too, run the RUU and follow the updater instruction - next- next-update-blablabla until it finish
d) Complete the setup wizard, you are done.

You have to flash the stock recovery.....the nandroid is taken with a custom recovery so the stock recovery is not included in the nandroid .... therefore you need the stock one :thumbup:
This is the 3.14 stock recovery

Mate... I even attached the stock recovery and stock boot.img for him above. I don't know whether he really read those I wrote.
So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

First thing I did when I got my phone is to unlock it and install TWRP custom recovery.I then saved the stock ROM using twrp backup.

Optus Australia
Hi,
My question is similar to the above....
I have an Optus Australia One X with a CID of 'OPTUS001'. I'm currently on the ViperX ICS rom and was going to restore my nandroid backup which is the stock rom. From there, hopefully, OTA to JB and then re-flash new ViperX JB rom.
But now I read that I need the stock recovery as well? Where would I get that from? And how do I install the stock recovery?
Any help with the steps involved would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
After some more research, I think I've found the answer. But could someone please confirm the steps:
1. Restore nandroid backup
2. Re-flash stock recovery img (I found a link to download it!)
3. Perform OTA update to JB
4. Re-flash clockwork mod recovery
5. Flash new ViperX JB rom
Does that sound right?

With the boot.img flash from the backup, is that done before or after the restore option in CWM?
Boot.img first than a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid. Boot into the nandroid to check that it works and flash back the stock recovery after and then start updating officially

Didn't you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom ? If you did the stock boot.img is inside the nandroid backup folder !

Hey guys
Well I reverted to stock using my nandroid backup. I want to get back to stock for the Sense 5 update and also the 1.72 hboot for further ROM support.
Now my question is.. Where can I get the stock recovery.img? I can remember that someone told me that it wasn't in CWM, because you actually backup your cwm in the backup folder. Is there maybe a folder I'm missing?
CID: HTC_E11

The recovery.img that is in the backup folder is the recovery that was flashed when the backup was made, but since you need a custom recovery to make a backup, the recovery in it is the recovery used for the backup, so NO it's NOT the STOCK one...
But using the link i gave you, you can easily get the stock recovery for your cid
Aren't there all custom recoveries in the nandroid backups?
Okay I have a question... So I was on custom rom, no nandroid backup...

You have to install a 3.18.401 nandroid backup. Not lower then that
