Is it possible to come back to stock ROM after flashing custom ROM in HTC One V... if yes, how?
Currently I have Samsung Galaxy Mini and for Samsung we have a tool called ODIN, which is used to flash Stock Firmwares. Is there anything like this for HTC too?
No reply ? No one used custom ROMs ?

relock your bootloader and flash the stock recovery, enter bootloader and then run RUU
EDIT use the toolkit from Hasoon2000
Hi,
I've installed the Maximus ROM and it's cool.
I know that now I can't return to the Stock Rom just because I can't downgrade the HBoot.
But...when Jelly Bean stock rom will be release for every HOX devices, will I be able to lock the bootloader and install the official Jelly Bean update?
Thanks for your answers
yes when a RUU is released for JB you would be able to install it
When you get a stock backup with stock recovery and boot.img you can get official OTA's for JB
Relocking of the bootloader is not necessarily needed in the last option.

You need stock recovery as well as ruu to get ota's? I'm on android version 4.03 as u just installed stock ruu for my device. Is there an official update to 4.04 yet? If I put the stock revcovery on as well as I still have cwm installed will I get the ota?

you need also stock recovery to install the official OTAs, but if you install that you will lose CWM recovery

Read your other post in my thread. Lost cwm anyway because of installing ruu. The update just came up a while ago so have no idea why it wouldn't earlier. All is good. Just wish my g sensor would work

so im on Android Revolution HD 17.1 with hboot 1.31 can i use a 4.0.4 ruu to get back to stock
i have rooted my HOX and installed CM 10.1 for some times , after that i have came back to the stock recovery which i have taken at the time of root.
now currently i have installed new kernel on the stock htc sense rom.
my question is , can i get official OTA updates given by htc with this current condition or i have to unroot and re-lock bootloader ?

that is normal ...
I am little new for hox in this, so don't mind and just take some of my questions in general please if looks common :
Would appreciate not to be much techy if possible, just in simple please would be very nice ...
After I get the final(I guess) update 4.2.2 of hox in India soon, I am then going to unlock and root so just want to clarify few things :
1) I want to know if I do boot loader unlock, "just boot loader unlock" then what advantages can I get ? [you can please just reply in I can do this, this n this (will be easy for me to catch things please)]
2) is it needed to be done just to flash recovery like cwm (like using the hasoon 2000's great tool) ?! If I flash recovery I know I can root by pushing su zip file by cwm ( I can catch that) But will I lose ota ?
3) I've heard there's another way like "adb push" the super user apk to /system/app then I can have a root . How to do that?! As I would want to do this if I won't lose the ota and if I lose ota the recovery way . (Sorry if I am mixed up. but your great help will clear me a lot)
You can ignore if you want to the above questions I asked. As all I want is to unlockbootloader and get root and still have everything stock and get the otas if any patch fixes comes in future by htc you never know , I don't want to run after loosing stock and then finding stock files and trying to put them back in to get those updates .
Would be so happy and would highly appreciate the help from such amazing people, Love n Respect Xda~!
if you unlock bootloader you lose all data, and if you root and install custom recovery you lose ota. but you can install a nandroid backup, stock recovery and stock boot.img and get back ota. so everything can be reversed. if you decide to root and install custom roms etc, please make a nandroid backup so you can get back to stock easily. and as you say you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to do all of this.

Thank you for kind reply . You said root and install custom recovery, well if I can root first (just on stock) after bootloader unlock then I don't need any custom recovery or roms. Please tell me how?! I just want root after bootloader unlock without loosing any stock recovery so I don't lose ota . Possible ?!
Other thing can't I after bootloader unlock install supersu file with stock recovery and I guess then all will be fine n I can still keep getting otas as well I guess?! Sorry I never used stock recovery so just asking . I know it comes with power n volume down key .

So what are the steps like
1) which nandroid app to use for backup and when to use at right time, like after unlocking bootloader or when?!
2) And then how to just root without custom recovery? (or if I want to root I need to have a custom recovery too?!)
3) And how to reverse ?
Please tell me

Wow Awesome! So I do bootloader unlock and flash cwm recovery and install super user file for root from cwm and I will still get otas right like you did ?! And by htc sense you mean the 4.2.2 update?! Just give me a yes on this please if its all correct ....
Any specific cwm recovery or any will do ?

Yes, you can get the official updates and can be installed by itself for the just app update (as APK files) even if you rooted.
but OTA update zip file( rom update) cannot be intalled by itself, so if you want to install that kind of file you need relocked & stock recovery.
But there is a way no need relocked & stock recovery is OTA zip can be installed by custom recovery "philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru" but the rom must be surely pure stock rom.In that way of update is just upgrading the rom only and your Hboot cannot be upgraded.

Awesome man I guess I got your point too, that as I have no other choice to lose the stock recovery as I will have to flash cwm recovery or any other to push the su for root, so then I just saw on hasoon's toolkit that there is an option to flash "your own recovery", where I then can download the stock recovery from the link you gave me first and put that file with the software and it will install it back for me... right ?! if yes then awesome!!

I don't think that HOX will get 4.3 update from htc so there is no need for stock recovery. There are very little chances thay we get 4.3 jelly bean on HOX just flash custom recovery and enjoy sense 5.

Oh I get it I cannot get major update like 4.2.2 though, if I don't do the philz_touch_5.11.2-endeavoru way but again there's a drawback for hboot.
But I guess I can manage to flash this way >> unlock bootlaoder>> flash cwm>> push su>> enjoy>> if new update comes then flash stock recovery back and update .
Need to learn how will I easily flash the stock recovery back as the hasoon2000 3rd post is confusing me a bit ..
But Wow simply Amazing answers man, great thread... it can help so many for a great start ..... even for future htc devices I guess .

mmm kartik I don't think virgolib will agree to that getting 4.2.2 aswell which I guess is being referred to rom update .
So kartik you didn't even first did the back-up to stock and even without that u got the sense update still, right that's what you are saying ?
But the thing is for virgolib that kartik did got the 4.2.2 update too being in cwm recovery
You flash stock recovery the same way as you will the custom, it will overwrite it.

oh ya got it sorry
1- unlock bootloader and install custom recovery.
2- install the zip file of rom.
3- push superuser file via cwm
4- go to fastboot mode download stock recovery from here-
http://www.androidrevolution.nl/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_recovery_4.18.401.2.rar push it via adb - fastboot flash recovery path name of recovery
5- now you have pure stock rom in your hox rooted too but with stock recovery. Enjoy your hox with sense 5
