Uh.. I think there's a way, but that sounds complicated, and a difficult find for sure. Perhaps just look for a stock 4.0.4 verizon rom + radios + recovery and then relock bootloader via fastboot. Because there is no way you're locking your bootloader without fastboot... so you need to use it anyway, so just use the original method I linked.
Did you check make a nandroid backup?

I would personally use the "flash" link in my signature - it's straight forward and step by step. But, if you want an Odin method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24552203.

Could one of you awesome developers out there just make a cwm version of the stock ICS image.. basically a .zip file that overites custom recovery with stock and takes you back to stock.... this would make life so easy!!!! Lol. Dwitherell made us a .zip file like this to take us back to stock on my last phone ( Samsung charge)...

But then you won't be stock... you'll be on a stock ROM but still custom recovery etc.
Just use the method Efrant posted and you'll be 100% stock. Its extremely easy, and you can be sure that nothing will go wrong because you'll be doing it manually yourself. Stop asking people to do things for you and just make it happen.

Wow. Just wow. I was about to post a .zip file for you but with that attitude... never mind.
Also... the stock image I downloaded from Google(imm76k) is a .tgz file... I thought it had to be a .IMG file??? And when I extracted it to desktop it gave me a .tar file... would the .tar file be the one I would use to flash via Odin back to stock??? And why do we not have a stickie to get back to stock, via Odin, via fast boot flash??? Lol. This thread is kinda haywire in my opinion compared to threads for other devices. Hahaha.. still VERY useful though..

That's not what he wants though. He doesn't care about the procedure; he just wants a CWM-flashable zip packaged up to do it for him. If someone else doesn't make one, I will when I eventually get some free time.

I'm sorry but I don't think anyone should be doing any flashing or tinkering without being able to understand fastboot/adb basics. That may be what he wants, but the Droid-Life guide is what's best for him

Im rooted on stock, I bought ROM Toolbox Pro but cant use any of the features because im on kernel 3.0.8-925100. The main features I'm trying to use are change wifi logo, battery icon and a few other tweaks ROM Toolbox offers. I want to stay stock as possible because I really like the stock rom so I guess my real question is can I flash a new kernel and stay stock and if so whats a good one that will let me use all ROM Toolbox features?

And now I swear this is my last question about flashing anything. Regardless if I done this flash correctly or wrong if I decide to go back to stock how would I do it. I did a google search and found something called fix boot, but that flashed me to something completely different and broke my wifi. I ended up flashing back to what you see in the picture to get my wifi back and now I just don't know how to go back to stock if I decide to.

Im assuming you made a backup before flashing the kernal if so just flash that and you will be back to square one. If not the head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 and you shoulx find everything you neex to get you back to stock.

Sorry but ive got a pretty nooby question. If you want a rom like the Viper rom, Do you need to root youre device to use that ROM?
Yes. There is no way to flash a rom without unlocking the bootloader rooting the phone and on most devices flashing a custom recovery.

Welcome to XDA devs. You'll find that most of the development forums have "sticky" posts at the top that will explain not only the rules (you'll see one applies to you already) and standards, but also some helpful "noob" guides to get you started.
From your initial question (and follow-ups) it appears you're brand new to android. That's cool, we all were once. Do yourself a favor and do about an hour of reading--straight reading--before asking any more questions. This is not an insult, it will be much faster than asking, waiting for a response, then asking another question ad infinitum.
Finally, specifically to your question: most of what happens here on XDA devs requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting; if you're not comfortable with doing that, this probably won't be the best forum to you. Again, no offense intended. Your fears are well-founded: you could break your phone if you don't understand what you're doing. That said, I'm pretty much computer illiterate, but have had a great deal of success around here by just reading, reading, reading.... and then following directions in the posts (and there's many posts in which people give fantastic step-by-step directions.
So good luck, search the forums, read the forums, and ask questions once you've tried something and it's not working the way you expected. And have fun!

They're right, you don't need to root to flash a ROM. In fact, most if not all custom ROMs are pre-rooted. I'm suggesting you read first to understand what "root" really means; once you have the basics down, the idea of messing with your phone won't seem nearly as frightening.
BTW- another thing about XDA: click the "thanks" button in addition to saying thanks in your comment.
I ported one Viper rom. It was very laggy due to the overclock default of the rom with Screen off, and bulkyness in size.
You DONT need to root your device to use a rom, but you NEED to unlock the bootloader.
There goes your loophole.
So i have to unlock bootloader and recovery and thats it?

Well, my phone is pretty much messed up and the whole situation is too frustrating for me to even want to think about it anyone. If someone could attach a backup file of their own stock rom that they originally had when they got their HTC One V it would be really helpful. All I want is to return my phone to what it once was but I was too dumb and never made a backup.
EDIT: Also, my phone is GSM if that means anything.
When I jacked my phone up I just downloaded the proper ruu for my carrier and reflashed it that way. There are a few threads on here that has ablink to the ruu download site
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
Sorry, I'm a total noob. :c You could say I was lucky to have even put new rom on my phone. Could you link me the site? I might be able to figure out the rest after that.
Ah, wait. Sorry for the double post but I remember coming across this RUU stuff when I was trying to get it back to what it was. The problem with this was there wasn't a Bell RUU (Canadian company). Is there a Bell RUU out there somewhere?
I'll do some digging around and see if I can find the bell gsm ruu. If I find it ill post link
Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app
Alright, thank you so much! If you don't find anything it's totally fine, I had a really hard time trying to look for it. :B

Just make sure you read, read, read. And your prl, being on Boost, will not change. And as long as you have a jb modem(gb27, gb28, or gc01), you'll have data. But if you flash a Sprint rom you'll have to research how to change mmsc in order to send mms. To avoid that, if your wife wants stock, flash a GC01(Boost) rom after you root.

By the way, if you flashed the phone to Boost you're better off just keeping a stock Boost ROM handy.
That way you're not having to mod the MMS settings to get it to work right.
From there you can pick up a custom kernel/recovery and flash away.
(I personally recommend mine but there are others to choose from...)
Welcome and enjoy!
