As there are many questions on how to do OTA update & to revert to stock after a device is rooted and bootloader unlocked; I made this simple guide which I hope will help the newbies especially.
NOTE : always do a backup and a nandroid backup before trying any of these.
OTA update:
A) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, stock recovery and not rooted.
- just run the OTA update, there is no need to relock the bootloader
B) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and not rooted.
- flash the stock recovery that comes with your RUU, extract the RUU for the stock recovery.
* boot to bootloader
* fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
* fastboot reboot-bootloader
* fastboot erase cache
* fastboot reboot
- run the OTA update
C) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, stock recovery and rooted
- download OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store
- run the OTA Rootkeeper and click protect root
- run the OTA update, there is no need to relock bootloader
- Once done, run OTA Rootkeeper and click restore root
D) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted
- download OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store
- run the OTA Rootkeeper and click protect root
- no need to relock bootloader
- boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the stock recovery
- run the OTA update
- Once done, run OTA Rootkeeper and click restore root
E) ROM is custom, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted and you have a stock nandroid backup
- flash the stock boot.img if after nandroid restore, you have a bootloop
- flash the stock recovery.img
- relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
- boot your device and run the OTA update
F) ROM is custom, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted and you don't have a stock nandroid backup
- if you dont have the stock nandroid backup, you need to run RUU
- before you can run the RUU you need to:
* flash the stock recovery.img
* flash the stock boot.img (maybe no need)
* relock the bootloader - fastboot oem lock
* run RUU
- run device setup
- run the OTA update
Flashing RUU to revert to stock or to update your One V after you have a custom ROM installed.
- you must have the correct RUU for your device.
- if you are not sure, download CID Getter from Play Store and run it, it will show your CID.
- with your CID, you may be able to find a correct RUU for your device
then
1- in fastboot mode - relock the bootloader : run command fastboot oem lock
2- in fastboot mode - flash/run/double click the RUU; follow the updater instruction - next,update,bla,bla,bla until it finish
Note :
Error 155 - usually wrong recovery.img /wrong boot.img or bootloader not relocked
Error 140 - wrong bootloader / bootloader unlocked
Error 131 - wrong RUU for your device

If I have a nandroid backup from my stock (nandroid after it was rooted), how can I get rid of root? I need to lock bootloader also because I need to return my product. Also, I have the kernel img and recovery img (need to flash those also because I have flashed custom kernel and cwm).
So my guess is that:
nandroid restore
go to fastboot and flash boot.img
go to fastboot and flash recovery img
go to fastboot and relock bootloader.
but how do you get rid of root?

Reflash system.img is the no-fail way.

System.img is the rom itself right? If yes, by reflashing it, the root will still be there because the nandroid was AFTER it was rooted. And I didn't found my RUU. I have found one which is the same as mine but the last number .x differs from mine (I have .4 and the RUU has .3)...
your going to need the ruu buddy, i have to do the same, the kernel shows up as root blah blah blah. kernel recovery and rom itself need flashing.....
Would you be okay with just removing the superuser.apk or did you also want the binary gone?
One of the possible options is to modify your nandroid backup so that both files are deleted (and not restored), but I'm not sure if CWM complains if the backup has been modified.

Restore your nandroid backup
Reboot your device.
Open the SuperSU, and click Full unroot (it will remove the app, apk & su library)
Reboot to recovery
Make a new nandroid backup (this time there is no root for safekeeping)
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot flash boot stockboot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
now you are back to stock rom without root and relocked
Thank you so much, will try it tonight because tomorrow I need to get my unit to replacement. I didn't knew how the process worked since I never did it (I work with android for 3 years now).
But I have a question. If you open su and you click full unroot, why do you need to make a new nandroid and flash that?

Because your old nandroid has SuperSU.apk and SU library in it.
New backup will not have those because you already remove them before new nandroid is made.
So you'll have a new stock nandroid without root.

But if I restore the nandroid that has root and then unroot it, I don't see why you need to make a new one and restore that.

Well, the point is that I will replace this unit with another one since this one is not working with Orange carriers. My shop was in talks with HTC service to get an unlock code but they failed to do so, so they said it is ok to change the unit. No need to keep a nandroid backup since I don't know what software version I will have on the new phone. Thank you for your help!
I fall under category D (ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted)
Can someone tell me in detail how to

No, not boot into CWM.
Remember how you go to bootloader when you first want to unlock your bootloader ? You press power + volume down, that is boot to bootloader.

Please make sure you're flashing to recovery, not boot.
Connect your phone to your computer via USB. I'll assume you have the necessary bootloader/adb drivers installed.
Open up a command prompt to wherever your recovery.img is and type (this assumes you can easily access adb/fastboot from anywhere):
adb reboot bootloader
Phone should reboot into fastboot. From there type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should then flash the stock recovery.
I would recommend taking a look at the HTC All-in-One ToolKit in the Development forums. It might simplify it for you.
To get back to you guys, I have followed these instructions and I am back to stock. The only thing that should worry me now is that the bootloader says "RELOCKED" instead of "LOCKED" but I don't think this is a reason why I should loose my warranty since we've done it using HTCDEV method.
It was easy enough because I had my nandroid backup. Such a joy to have one of these at hand!
Thank you all for the infos. Tomorrow I'll get my replacement :yuhuu:

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

So Jimmy, if you want automatic update like the stock ROM as you said; read again item 2 or item 3.

Hi guys,
ill make this fast,
I just unlocked my boot loader, im on ICS hboot- 1.12.0000
I didnt flash any custom recovery yet because i dont know what to do
On my DHD I just go into recovery and flash the rom. now Im trying to install Ordroid rom with JB on the one x
Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
Relock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Go into fastboot mode and type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
Flash new firmware using the commend 'fastboot flash zip firmware.zip'.
On first time running the commend you will see FAILED, don't panic and just run the commend again.
Reunlock your bootloader via HTCDev.
Flash custom recovery using the commend 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.
Download boot.img and flash it using the commend ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use the commend 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
Go into recovery and install the ROM.
Reboot your device and enjoy from JB!
I really dont understand this why do I have to relock the boot loader?
and after I download the boot image where to I put it so I cant flash it from the fastboot?
can I just go to recovery,wipe, and flash the JB rom.
can anyone give me a quick explanation on how this thing work?
thanks alot, cant wait to flash a new rom.

you have to relock it to flash the firmware package... you have to put the boot.img in your pc and flash it in the command prompt... no you can't flash JB without upgrading the firmware...if you do not understand or if you are not ale to do it then you aren't ready to this type of thing and you would better stay were you are

Actually you probably didn't flash the kernel from recovery but the modules ! It's impossible to flash a kernel from recovery because we are (most of us) still s-on

You can't install the JB ota just like that, tell.me what hboot you are on. I think you have to go to stock ics and from there update the hboot with the official ota from HTC ?
Thanks for this info

No problem, hoped it helped you !
On point 6 below, shall that recovery.img be from v.3.14 (JB) OTA? (No way back then if somthing went wrong)
1. Relock bootloader: - fasboot oem lock
2. Boot device
3. From command prompt enter: -adb reboot oem-78
4. Flash firmware: - fastboot flash zip nameoffirmwarefile.zip
5. Unlock bootloader again using your original unlock code: - fastboot flash unlocktoken
Unlock_code.bin
6. Flash custom recovery: - fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
7. Flash boot.img from rom zip: - fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. Flash rom zip through recovery
9. Reboot and enjoy

This is to upgrade the hboot to be able to run a JB rom......this is not for the JB ota
If you want the official JB ota you can go back to stock 100&
Stock rom
Stock kernel
Stock recovery
Or you can run the right RUU
If you want to upgrade the hboot unofficial then use a tool if your CID is in the list of compatible hboots
After step 1 to 7 (to prpare and update hboot) then step 8 on this shuld be to install JB or have I misunderstand?
I am on HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2-1.29.401.12_release_274955b7 and tryed to update but stuck at Beats audio boot image because I not upgraded hboot I think (flashed boot.img only).

Step 1 to 4 is to upgrade the hboot the unofficial way
Step 5 is to open the bootloader so you can flash the custom recovery (cwm 5.4.8.0) back to enable you to flash custom roms
Step 6 is flash the custom recovery like above
Step 7 is to flash the kernel of the new JB custom rom you want to flash
Step 8 is to flash the rom.zip in the custom recovery you flashed in step 6
But what are you trying to do, go back to stock or flash the hboot unofficial ? I think we are misunderstanding something here
I just want to update from original v.2.17 and install v.3.14 JB OTA on a rooted One X

Oke i understand that, but do you want to do it official by your carrier/HTC or do you want to do it the unofficial way
I say run the RUU with the bootloader RELOCKED and wait for the official update
Do it official by carrier/HTC
RUU is not out yet so the unofficial way then (Have downloaded OTA)

Do you have the ruu ? Otherwise you can download is it here
http://www.htcruu.com/?dir=Endeavor
Put the phone in fastboot USB mode and relock the bootloader restart the bootloader and leave it in bootloader fastboot USB mode then start the ruu.exe from pc with admin rights and it flashes the phone back to stock.
Before doing this backup all you need from the sdcard because everything might be gone after doing this !
Will it work to update OTA directly (without run RUU first) if I lock boot loader, flash boot.img and hboot.img first?

No
Didn't you make a nandroid backup of the old original rom ?
You have to flash the ota coming from a full 100% stock 2.17 based software phone !
Do you know what more I need to do to get it working that way?
Do this command with the phone in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot getvar version-main
And post result here please

Hey
I was following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
And everything worked well untill the part I had to boot into recovery mode.
I couldn't get into it and decided to skip that part and just flash the boot.img from the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
I flashed everything succesful without any errors but now my phone won't boot, it just gives me a black screen and can't get into recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked and I can still get into it.
I was thinking about flashing the stock RUU or another ROM, but is this possible?
Now I can't use my desire hd .. need some help with it.
EDIT:
I'm S-ON and unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to flash CWM and it flashed succesfully but still couldn't boot into recovery..
That tutorial is for the Desire S. What RUU did you use?

First I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I moved the ROM's zip file to the SD card.
I flashed the 4EXT Recovery after that.
I couldn't boot into recovery so I flashed the ROM's boot.img
Then I couldn't boot my phone in normal mode
After that I flashed CWM but it also didn't work..
Then I used fastboot erase cache and after that I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU
that's all I did untill now
What did you have on your phone to begin with, stock? What ROM zip did you get the boot.img from? How did you flash recovery? Which image?

I had stock rom on my phone, didn't make a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335496 is the rom I tried to put on my phone, that is where the boot.img is from.
And I flashed recovery with
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
btw, i dont have a file PD98IMG
EDIT:
I tried booting into recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery.img
but it is stuck on the HTC screen
OK, you've flashed a JB AOSP boot.img on a Froyo/GB Sense ROM. No wonder it's not booting. Again, where did you get the recovery image from? You need to flash a working recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), flash the ROM from recovery, and flash the matching boot.img from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Recoveries are device specific. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. ROMs are all flashed the same way if you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader.
