Need to retrun back to Stock on HTC Desire HD(Indian)

I need help on reverting my Desire HD back to stock.
For this I understand I need to flash stock ROM (RUU). In this case I need to flash RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which is the Indian version for DHD.
However, I am unable to find this RUU.
When installing a custom rom after having rooted my phone I did take a backup using rom manager. So I do have a backup of Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.720.5 which I can restore ... but I will still have root.
Question: Is there a way to remove root after I restore the backup and also remove ClockworkMod's recovery?
If the above is possible I can then update my phone to the latest firmware from HTC which I guess is 1.84.720.3.
Please help..

There's an unroot option in visinonary.

Yes there is... will try that and what about ClockworkMod's recovery? will that affect the OTA update that I try to apply after I use the unroot option?

Shouldn't do, I once tried something similar and everything was okay? The OTA's installed as they should. The problem is the RRU you require hasn't actually been released which is a shame as I would expect Shipped-Roms to have a copy.

This is not the first time... I had a similar problem with HTC Hero, the Indian(Airtel base) rom was never released for download and when rooting the first time I did not take a backup of the original rom coz of which I was unable to update using the OTA.
So you saying I should go ahead with the unroot process and the OTA can then be applied? I really want to do this since I am flashing my phone every alternate day with a new rom released at XDA.. either 2.2.1 or 2.3.. need to stop doing that .. atleast for a few months till HTC releases a stable 2.3 sense rom for DHD.

vickyclewis.. thanks for the direct file download... will check it out once out of office.
Also the steps mentioned for flashing this.... I found the below in one of your post:
=====================================================
PD98IMG's cannot be flashed via CWM Recovery. Rename the zip to "PD98IMG.zip" and place in the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
Turn off your phone, disable HTC Fastboot if it's enabled, and power on holding Volume Down. This should start the Bootloader and it should read the PD98IMG.zip and flash it for you.
=====================================================
I guess you need to mention that the user has to get to the bootloader to install this...
Thanks once again..

[Q] My desire Z became G2 t-mobile , help!

Hey,
As the title says above my Htc desire z , became g2 t-mobile.
This happened because my camera gives weird rainbow colors so i wanted to send it back to HTC but in order to have my warranty i'll have to unroot it.
So what i did is , follow a unrooting guide from google. which said unrooting for desire z/g2 t-mobile but it turned out that it made me install a G2 t-mobile stock rom , while i need to get sense stock on my phone.
Can anyone help me to return back to stock sense?
The stock i have now atm is the G2 t-mobile 1.19 version
other extra information:
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.82.0000
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.02.01.15_M2
eMMB -boot

Can you exactly tell me which method i need to root it? , i rooted it before with the rage method PC10IMG.zip 1.34 , and isn't gfree included in it?
btw once i rooted this phone back then i couldn't load PC10IMG.zip files because he wont find them , so i turned it back again to G2 , so probably the bootloader is G2 now or something because he wont recognise PC10IMG.zip files anymore the htc sense stock ones.

Install the Engineering HBOOT and do HTC Sense RUU like normal.

It sounds to me like the ruu you installed was the stock tmobile rom.

Reverting back to stock

Hi all
Could anyone point me in the right direction so I can flash my phone back to the stock Rom please?
I've got a HOX now and want to sell my HD to a website online, but I'm afraid they may send it back because of the custom Rom I have installed.
The phone was purchased about a year ago and was on the orange network.
Any help would be appreciated.

since u already have a custom rom installed tht means u are s- off, u need to get e-off , in case u have both of them u are ready to go download the corresponding ruu for the phone flash it through fastboot. i would prefer using a pd98img.zip. this will put ur phone again back to stock like brought from the store.. make sure u dnt flash a froyo ruu on a DHD shipped with gingerbread RUU, it will mess up the phone.

Use the advance ace hack kit (look for it in google). It has an option to revert back to stock.

Thanks for your input.
I'm a bit confused about the pd981mg file. I've googled that but it comes up with a lot of variants of it.
Could you help me please?

With the advanced ace hack kit there is no need to download anything as it does everything for you.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium

yes Advance Hack Kit can also do the job, but it can also mess up the phone if not done properly and moreover if u want to be more specific about which stock rom u want to return to thn ruu is the best option.. here try this one http://goo.im/ruu/ace download the ruu its in exe format just run the exe rest it wil do by itself.. P.S: Advance Hack Kit is the best and easiest software for returning to stock or root or any other stuff only whn used according to the instructions.

My CID is HTC_J15. any specific tools for its recovery to stock rom ?

Why do you need to revert to stock ? You just rooted your device; fully remove the SuperSU app, put back the recovery & boot.img you'll back to stock. Or restore your nandroid backup.

That happens because you don't follow the instruction for each custom rom carefully. Like you don't follow the advise to make a nandroid backup before you proceed rooting.
I can't help more than this as I don't have the ARA device, use the power of internet and search engine to look for RUU_PRIMO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_ARA_2.23.415.1_Radio_20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.120_release_276387_signed.exe

Noob Question.....

Hi....
Just got myself HOX......it has JB and updated to the latest things that Voda has to offer.....and is UNLOCKED
Now...I am a regular ROM Flasher on my DHD ....and want to Flash the Custom ROM....
Now I have gone thru' the All in One Toolkit by Hasoon and found it is the best way forward....
My Question:
Will I be able to Flash and do the works if my HOX is on JB or I will have to Downgrade it to ICS ??
though unrelated .....to HOX the only reason I am asking this is 'cause I bricked a Perfectly New Magic of one of my friends just a cpl of weeks ago.....so just making sure I dont brick another phone
Any info will be highly appreciated.....
Thanxxx

If u bricked a phone before, read read and read more before u root and start flashing

Yes you can go ahead with that tool kit it's compatible with J B version... But read other posts and also how to do this things manually so if u stuck in middle(which is not the case generally) you can get back from that.
Good luck and happy rooting

Make sure you have hboot 1.31+ so that it can run JB roms...
If you got your bootloader unlocked, then flash a custom recovery like CWM/TWRP and then go ahead with ROM flashing...
make sure to flash the boot.img from fastboot though! I don't think DHD was s-on...
