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] HTC Wildfire S got boot looped !! I need some help

Hi everybody,
Good Morning. I Installed Tamil Unicode Font app on my rooted HTC wildfire S. That caused something wrong with the device. Now the phone shows the brand name with sound again and again (15-20 seconds Interval) when switched ON. The problem is I didn't have back up, since i rooted (@ htcdev.in) few days back only. I have installed CWM 5.0.2.6, Superuser, ROM tool box, busybox. Using Android 2.3.5, ROM ver is 2.13.720.1, HBOOT-1.08.0099.
What caused my device to boot again.?
CAN ANYONE HELP/SUGGEST METHODS OR LINKS ON HOW TO GET BACK MY DEVICE ...?
or
How to remove the FONT APP (that caused the to REBOOT) from the device...?

I don't think that one will work. You have to use one that has a higher number than yours. And don't forget to make a goldcard.

My HTC Wildfire S has got stuck in boot-loops a few times, when a flash has gone wrong, for whatever reason. The only way I got mine back on track was to use Rezo's All-in-one tool to flash CWM Recovery, and go from there.
Link to Rezo's wonderful tool, which, by the way, is the only one that actually managed to root my Wildfire S in the first place... all the rest failed.

There is a file called runme.bat. Run it.
Menu after that is self-explanatory... you probably want option 10, "Install CWM Recovery". Do it, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Let it do its thing, and then hey presto, you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Your phone should automatically boot into it, so make sure you have the ROM you want to flash ready in ZIP format on your MicroSD card. Use the Volume Up/Volume Down softkeys to navigate the menus... you need to select "Install a ZIP from SD-Card", and then select to browse the SD card to find the zip... you use the search softkey to select items, rather than the power button. Browse to the ROM ZIP, and select it, let it flash it to your phone, and you have your ROM.

I Got back my Device !!! Thanks to all...
OMG !!!
I Got Back my HTC WildFire S, after 8 days of hopeless and restless !!.
But I never lost the confidence and keep trying (on the right track).
The method which helped me to clear the problem is here :
[TUTORIAL][NOOBPROOF] Return to Stock Rom after flashing CustomRom
go to :

and followed the instruction simply.
and it worked !
Now my HTC Wildfire S is working perfectly.
(Damn i will never install that Font App again)
Anyway thanks to all who supported me......

How to Obtain 2.3 RUU From HTC Developers Site

Well, I wrote this a couple of times and it gets more boring every time. Also, the link in Bortak's guide is not working so if someone needs it here you go:
-go to HTC developers site
http://htcdev.com/
-go to KERNEL SOURCE CODE section
-configure filter by DEVICE (choose Desire)
-mark OTHER below
-click on FIND FILES
-and there you go, the first file is 2.3 upgrade utility.
Not that hard?

Hi, can this be pushed directly to the phone ? and how ?
sure I'll lose root permission and S-OFF Right? . sorry for the stupid questions I'm a noob -- first baby steps

You need to extract the exe from the file. The exe is buried two levels deep in a zip.Thereafter run the exe from PC with the phone connected. But before you run the RUU ensure your phone is stock hboot. If it is a alpharev hboot then flash the downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl. Thereafter the "unlock" will appear on bootloader. Then you can run the RUU. You will lose root and soff after RUU.
If you want to again root after this then you have to follow the steps given in revolutionary.io.

I have just found my old HTC Desire (GSM) again.
Now I would like to install an Android 4.4 or 5.0 Rom on it, but for this I have to S-OFF it and install a custom recovery on it.
Is it still possible? As the most tools are down? And if yes, could someone give me the needed links etc? Thanks.
I am on Android 2.3
Have searched for hours. :/

Whit best regards

You need to fastboot flash the ROM's boot.img. As every unlock thread says, you need to do so for every time you flash a ROM.
