[Q] Flashing Stock ROM Nandroid backup to return to stock for OTA update

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.

[Q] Update Optus001 to JB

Recently unlocked my phone (OPTUS001) cid and trying to upgrade to JB I have rooted and installed ROM Manager and download various builds through the app but all failed I am running 2.17 Have tried going back to RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.28.980.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed but fails, I fairly new to modding these phone but love my HTC one X could some please help (A Noobs version) on how to upgrade to JB
Thanks In Advance

I don't think you flashed the boot.img with fastboot commands, the rommanager doesn't work because we don't have S-off phones !
Now the problem, you are unlocked and you run a custom recovery ? and on wich hboot are you on at the moment ? Put the phone in bootloader menu and check also put the phone in fastboot USB menu and do the next fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
Post the answers to my questions and the outcome from the commands here please !

Just So I know what i'm doing before I do it
I have download matching nandriod rar format I extracted files
Contents are
.android_secure.vfat.tar
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
with phone unlocked
do I do the following
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wipe in recovery mode
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from the downloaded files
Your help is appreciated

You have to do this :
Make a folder on the sdcard
Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder of the backup that's in the rar file\all those backup files
Then you copy the boot.img from it to the fastboot folder on the pc
Then you boot into the bootloader and flash that boot.img
Then you boot back into recovery and do a full wipe except sdcard. Delete all caches, data system ....
Then you tap backup & restore and restore the nandroid backup
After that you boot the phone and check it works fine
After that you flash back the STOCK recovery (its not the one from the backup because the backup is done with a custom recovery !
Here is the stock recovery you need
http://db.tt/U5CK4noo
The last thing is to flash back this recovery and you are good to and update the phone with official JB

No rooting is no problem, you can also update with root active, just make sure you keep the rom stock (don't delete system apps) or if you flash the cwm recovery and then do a new nandroid backup from this rom you always have a 100% stock rom to go back to ! Always safe to do that , and copy the new nandroid to a computer or dropbox .... Always safe !
To update you need stock rom,recovery and boot.img ....

Tried to boot into recovery but now get a red triangle

Yes thats the stock recovery....its normal, if you want to enter the recovery after that you have to push volume down and power button to confirm.....if i recall it right.
Its volume + and power button
But the stock recovery is pretty much useless ....it doesn't have the features that a custom recovery has

maybe someone change the name and upload to internet-_-
the nandroid backup means someone backup the rom which is come from HTC stock rom?
If yes, how to install a stock recovery
I need to repair the phone so that i need to return to the origin

The ruu must start with the text ENDEVOURU !
The nandroid backup must be copied unpacked to the phone sdcard in the right folder, its described in the OP of the thread.
Copy the boot.img from the nandroid backup and flash it, full wipe in recovery and restore the backup.
Then flash back the stock 3.14 recovery. Also in the OP of the thread and relock the bootloader

Your hboot version is 1.12
JB roms work only on hboot 1.31 and newer.
Try to update stock rom(it updates hboot too)

Get back to full stock, stock rom, kernel and recovery .....then update the hboot and software with official ota. Once you obtained the JB stock software you flash a custom recovery
Put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder on the pc and rename it to recovery.img , put the phone in the bootloader and flash the recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then you make a nandroid backup of the stock rom. After that you copy the new rom of your choice to the phones sdcard, open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img file to the fastboot folder on the pc
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the kernel
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe, then install the new rom.zip and reboot.
If you do not have a nandroid of the stock rom ? Give me the outcome of this command
Fastboot getvar version-main
I can check for a ruu or a nandroid backup !

But he said he wanted a sense ROM. That's why he needs the update. Or I am wrong?

I know that....but the fact is that JB also runs on the lower hboot
And he didn't ask for a JB rom.....he asked for any good rom
@ Ron
Give the fastboot command outcome
Fastboot getvar version-main
and
Fastboot oem readcid
If you don't have a nandroid backup .....we get one or a ruu, and when those are not available we always have the possibility to do a direct firmware flash to update the hboot

Then he can easily have a look at my signature, because this ROM made it almost perfect with ICS version!

well so what i understand i need to upate my hboot.
so how do i install stock rom? someone have download? my rom now is some JB rom (without sense)
and i tihnk so my CID were t-mob101 or sometihng like that.. and download or something?
or some one got the stock rom of htc?

That's why we need the main version !
Open a command prompt inside the fastboot folder, put the phone in the bootloader and type
Fastboot getvar version-main

by the way i got aosp jb
and i wanna go back to sense..
that why im asking for any good SENSE ROM..
thanks by the way

Download this nandroid backup
http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/208-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-t-mob101-2171113/
Copy it to the sdcard from within the recovery. Put it in
Clockworkmod;\backup\"time and date folder"\"the backup files"
Then copy the boot.img from that nandroid to the platform tools folder.
Put the phone in the bootloader and flash it
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter the recovery and make a full wipe. Wipe all you can except the sdcard
Then restore the nandroid backup.
Reboot and check if it works.
Then enter the bootloader again and flash the stock 2.17 recovery
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbav46spkbznovp/stock recovery 2.17.img
