I need to get my phone back to the state it was in when it was new as im having it replaced by Orange tom morning.
I have it rooted with mcr 2.8 installed.
I cant upgrade the rom to an Orange one as i keep getting errors from the stock one.
I cant unroot either as that does not appear to be working for me.
Plus i have cyanogenmod 1.4 which i need to remove too.
I have tried all sorts of ways to get back to stock and so far i have managed to install a stock Orange rom by the same way you install a modded one.
So i just need to remove the modded recovery image and unroot.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

After about a month learning about flashing, modding and other cool stuff i finally flashed my rom but about a week later my digitizer broke! So now i need to restore it to stock so i can use the warranty. I will write the steps as i worked them out and if someone would either confirm that they are correct or point out where I am wrong it would be a massive help. (Plus this can be used as a guide for any noobs in my situation.)
Im now running an android version 2.3.7 cm7 and redpill hybrid (AWESOME!!)
Flash back to stock I would use NFhimselfs gobstopper (Should i use 2.2.2 or 2.3.4 or do they both get rid of the "unlocked"?) flashed using cwm (I use ROMRACERs for everything should i use that or do I need to use temfars?)
Return phone
Get it back...
To get it back to unlocked and rooted i would need to only flash thorough rsdlight the IHOP and I wouldn't need to fastboot unlock. (Right?) and then to root i would just need to download superuser from the market...
Sounds right?
Thanks for your help.
This has been a long journey and i just want to make sure i don't crash in the final lap...
So I've been running MIUI on my HTC EVO 4G for a while and have been jumping from ROM to ROM, I went to download CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1 and, although the ROM was working and I flashed the Android Market also, it wouldn't allow me to download any apps . I tried doing this on multiple ROMs and nothing would let me download any apps at all, so I wanted to try going back to stock and unrooting, I tried flashing a PC36IMG.zip file on my phone and it wouldn't work, for some reason I can still download apps on MIUI though. Could someone please either help me figure out what I did to my phone or find a way to unroot and go back to stock?
ok so i wouldnt say im a noob but im not as advanced as some of yous. last night i flashed a leaked ics onto my phone and loved it with one exception. i couldnt figure out how to root it. all my apps are backed up on titanium backup and i didnt want to have to get all of them manually. so i flashed back to stock using odin with a file i used back when that crappy update came out. i rooted it with super one click and and then went to put on a prerooted ics... when in recovery mode now i get this message
cant access to '/system/csc/att/system/'
i try putting on cwm and siyah and i keep getting authentication errors and the installation aborts. also recovery mode wont read my external sd card now. when the phone is booted up it works fine except i tried to do the factory ota update and it keeps failing. i tried reflashing back to stock again and did the update unrooted and it still failed.
i know you guys hate hate when people ask without researching so i did SOME forum browsing and found nothing. sorry i dont really have time to look too extensively. i just want to know how to fix it. i appreciate any help i can get

Start with getting back to stock using this guide. Check for ICS bootloaders too, you probably flashed them and you have to get stock ones back (careful, flashing bootloaders can cause hardbricking). Once you're back to stock and rooted, you shouldn't need to ever use PC Odin again.
Then use this guide for rooting/flashing.
One other note: when you tried to install CWM, it sounds like you loaded an update.zip onto your phone then tried to install it using stock recovery. Stock recovery won't let you install unsigned update.zips, which is why that method for getting CWM on your phone will never work (hence the authentication error and installation abort). For our phone, CWM is only included in custom kernels, that's the only way to get it on there, and don't even think about updating or changing it via other means. Just flash a custom kernel, it'll include CWM, use it until you want to switch kernels.
Hit my thanks button, I was really nice this time. And post in Q/A next time as well.
EDIT: Skip the second guide if all you want is stock. You should be able to update OTA after following the first guide. Though even if stock is what you want, I highly recommend flashing a custom GB kernel because a) they're more stable and faster and b) you'll have CWM in case you need it.
You started off mentioning about "leak ics" which I have absolutely zero experience.
My suggestion:
1. Try to get it back to stock. Make sure it works correctly.
2. If hasn't rooted yet, do so.
3. Getting CMW into the device by flashing custom kernel.
4. From there, install any ICS ROM you want.

If you want it totally stock, you need to reinstall your ROM using the stock recovery and an update.pkg, you can find all the ROM's right here .
I would recommend to flash 366, but you can also flash fine 351 or 360 (both international).

Hope this helps
Hi,
Even, I wanted to go back to the stock rom. So, tried to install the stock recovery and rom. After the installation, the phone is going into loop and now, it's saying that can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k1p5 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k1p1) and saying that Can't mount update.pkg
Request your help with this as I am totally stuck here.
I was wondering a few things if anyone could help. I have the metro version
of the mega. Id like to know if it is possible to get back to complete stock. I flashed
twrp, which is awesome. Also I bought a sd card reader from Walmart so
I can add and remove files to the sd if I ever brick the phone. I have
tried cm11 wasn't for me. I have rooted the phone etc. I'm trying
to get back to the state of when I first got the phone. Currently I flashed
bnb's clean twrp files and am back to stock. I want to get rid
of twrp and go back to thr original bootloader if theres
a way. From what I know the bootlaoder is locked up.
Im thinking about taking the phone back to the store as the
owner knows exactly what I'm talking about when I start grilling
him with questions about different roms and such. Do you
think at the store they may be able to reflash it? I've
tried via odin, but can only flash the twrp and then from there
I am able to flash the clean backup. I totally want to go back
to original. If you guys have any tips, questions or comments
please and thank you.
