I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!
Well, i think this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
@Nu11eR thanks! Do you know which RUU should I use if I'm from Asia tho?

Try this one:

@tpbklake I can't seem to download it. After entering the captcha ( the thing where you enter the letters you see ) it just refreshes the page when I hit enter. Do you have any other mirror-ed links or anything?

No I don't know of any other mirrored site for this ROM. I can only share what has been shared via the posts on this forum.

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

Im AlphaRev S-off and running a gingebread orginial shipped rom from HTC, recieved a OTA update and installed it.. the phone rebooted and now im stuck at the white HTC screen, when i try to enter recovery section in bootloader it just skips back to the white HTC screen, tried to load an signed_RUU onto the mem card and install calling it PG32IMG without luck..
What to do ?
Can you connect to the phone via fastboot or adb?
Wait at least five minutes on the htc boot screen, sometimes the rom is busy working during this boot up time.

Well...u r in problem
U can fix that easy...
1. Download 2.3.3 RUU
2. Downgrade from AlphaRev hboot to official *HOW TO GET BACK ON S-ON* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
3.Install 2.3.3 RUU
4. boot 2.3.3 - run OTA update
***New hboot is 2.00.0000 its cant be S-OFFed ,so,phone cant be rooted for now
but u can try new Android Rev HD 2.1.0 based on new official update.
Procedure for installing new AHD 2.1.0 is same like before
1*super wipe script
2*install new rom from 4EXT recovery
Yeah, so i downloaded the rom you suggested, could not find 2.3.3 by the way? but tried with one of the other WWE roms, getting "no image or wrong image" when i try to load the PG32IMG.zip from bootloader, what do I do now? :S
Tried with 2 different mem cards as this error seems to have to do with the card.. but still no luck.. I would not have an problem if i could get into recovery mode, but when i press "recovery" in the bootloader it just gives me that damn white HTC screen..
Anyone? Maybe reinstall the old aplharev with ADB in a way? anybody?

Make sure you didn't copy it to the SD card as PG32IMG.zip.zip. That would give you the no image or wrong image message.
Yeah, correct name.. worked now but gets "incorrect model id" then i downloaded a coocked unzigned room, but gets "parsing.." and then it goes back to the bootloader.. anyone?
EDIT: Fixed, used a random shipped rom and it worked.. with the PG32IMG method.. strange.. anyhow thanks guys
HElp me please!! My phone gets stuck at the HTC White Screen and wont go any further. I restored to the original stock rooted rom and my phone gets stuck at the HTC boot up screen.

You need to flash the boot.img of the rom that you're restoring first before restoring. Also, what were you trying to do that cause the phone getting stuck at the white screen?

How do i flash the boot.img? I was returning to the stock rooted rom on my phonethrough a restore and my phone just got stuck at the white screen. SO, i just freaked out and relocked my bootloader, then tried to have it flash the original PH39IMG zip and now my phone wont load that zip. It says its doing it then goes back to the main menu in HBOOT.

fastboot flash boot.img
But before that your first sentence proves that you've haven't done enough reading before you attempted this. Reunlock the bootloader...read this guide how to do it (read it several times before you attempt). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
If you have any questions after reading several times, please ask them in that thread.

Thank you. I tried doing all of that and my phone is still stuck a the HTC White screen. I did everything up to the flashing the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2 zip and it is still stuck at the white HTC BOOT screen.
By any chance is your bootloader unlocked?

1. Make sure to have the zip of CWM on the root of your sdcard
2. Have the phone off
3. Power into HBOOT (power + vol down)
4. Select recovery
5. Flash the zip of CWM
Hey. I tried doing that and my phone is still stuck at the HTC white bootup screen.

Yeah your phone should do that because you didn't flash the boot.img when restoring the stock rom. Get a rom that you want to use and follow the instructions on how to flash the boot and then flashing the rom thru CWM
what do you mean boot.img? I have a rom that i want to use HoliRaider v 1.6. Should i just flash that rom through CWM?
read step three of the superuser guide
Thank you so much!! I have a question about that. How do I "Extract the boot.img out of the kernel file you want and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe/fastboot executable"? How do I put it in the same directory as my fastboot.exe/fastboot executable?
HoliRaider has a separate kernel file to d/l

I have to return my phone and I cannot get my stock recovery back onto my One. I followed the instructions that were played out in the guide I used but either did something wrong, or accidentally deleted the initial backup.
If anyone with the rogers variant could please help me by providing the stock rogers recovery.img i would be forever indebted to you. A stock nandroid would also work.

This thread has the OTA for rogers. In the folder there should be a firmware.zip file that contains a recovery. I was able to use the to upgrade to 1.29.631.17 from .4 (took 3 restarts) but I never tried to the 4.3 update.

so is the firmware.zip the Stock recovery file? If i flash it, will i go back to Stock recovery?
Currently i am on Stock Rom, but the recovery is TWRP... so if i try to update the latest 4.3 by Rogers, it opens up the TWRP recovery and sits there.,..

looks like you are with custome recovery, you need to flash STOCK Recovery for Dev edition and after that you will be able to install OTA.

@mikeg818 : you need to flash recovery in Fastboot Mode
@sampagna : you cannot update if you have custom recovery. So first flash stock recovery in fastboot and then do the update ( provided you are on stock ROM)

@x017in: Sorry for the naive question. I still have a lot to learn about android. I have rooted my phone to put down CWM. Now I know that I am having custom recovery, but I am not sure if I am having custom ROM or stock ROM. Custom ROM refers to s.th like Cyanogenmod, right?
Yep. That's what custom Rom means.. so now you need to put back the recovery that came stock with the phone. Only then will the OTA update work

That is because you have an unlocked bootloader. A stock ROM that you got via running an RUU won't boot up because of the unlocked bootloader. (that or you didn't flash boot.img) I would suggest running Android Revolution HD or tpbklake's stock ROM. Both can be found in the development section for the Incredible S.
Thanks or can i download one from hdev and install will it work ?

If you download the RUU from HTCDEV.com, you will need to relock your bootloader before you run the RUU.
