Should be a simple two step process:
1) If you're going to relock the device, follow htcdev.com directions and relock. When finished, top of the bootloader will show *RELOCKED*.
2) Use the RUU (ROM Update Utility) which is produced by HTC and leaked onto HTC. The best location to obtain the latest version is: http://www.goo-inside.me/shooter/RUU.
Sad to see an EVO 3D user go! Good luck!

How to unroot Eris to 2.1 ?
How would I do that if needed ?
I can't help but think that there is an easier way that I just haven't seen in my 5 minutes of searching, but I know that you could do it this way:
Follow the unroot process back to stock 1.5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652419
Then get the official 2.1 OTA Rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695593&highlight=ruu&page=2
Once that is installed I believe you should be on an official stock rom. The older posts mention not being able to root this, but I do think they have come up with a couple of other options for rooting if you need to go back to it. Hope this helps...
I guess we could cobble together a new "downgrade.zip" that uses the boot.img and /system/ directory from stock 2.1 instead of the ones from stock 1.5 (and of course it wouldn't need to downgrade the radio.img anymore, so that would be removed).
If you're just doing it to return the phone, I'd recommend just running the RUU for 2.1. The only reason that's never been suggested before is that it upgrades your HBOOT to 1.49 S-ON, which previously meant that it was unrootable. Now that it's rootable, it shouldn't make any difference.

What's RUU ?
If you follow the guide to go to 1.5 stock then get OTA update for 2.1, can you root again later ?
The RUU is the main stock rom that the Eris comes shipped with. You can grab it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606699 (use the one posted by thenestor 1/2 way down the 1st page) and save it, just in case. Now they have figured out how to root all the versions of roms out there for our phones. More info found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725096 . I do like to help, but most of these threads are right on the first page of the Development forum. Feel free to browse through there and the stickies at the top of the forum to gather some more information. You can't be too prepared when you are messing with the internal information of your phone...
Let me know if I can help with anything else.
Hi
I was hoping someone could help me out. I have researched this forum but haven’t found a clear answer to my question.
I currently have an unlocked rooted stock Rezound and am interested in trying out ICS, but want to keep the old radios (firmware) , in case I want to return to original stock/firmware.
Can someone please provide me with clear directions on the exact steps I need to take to flash to ICS. Any input would me much appreciated

Which ICS Rom are you looking at? Most of them have the directions in their first posts. They require flashing one additional patch if you want to keep the old firmware. There's a few threads with exact directions already...
Looking at Clean Rom. It is not clear to me if I need to relock the bootloader or not . Also must I always start with installing the PH98IMG zip no matter what?

If you want to keep the old firmware, no need to lock the boot loader or try to run the ICS leak RUU...
Just follow the directions in the clean rom thread and install the old firmware patch. When you install CleanRom 4.3 or the 1.2 DE, it creates a folder on the SD card and you can find the patch there. Continue on and install the boot image as it states.
Thank you so much. That answers my question.
I ran mine for a couple days bone stock. My radio performance was SIGNIFICANTLY worse than my Tbolt sitting 10 inches from it. I'm running BAMF now on new firmware and my radio performance is much better. Much less data network hunting, holding onto signals longer, and smoother transitions between cells. I'm also getting round about 9 hours on a charge including nearly an hour of HQ youtube on the stock battery. It SEEMS to me the new firmware is a marked improvement, but actually results always seem to vary, of course. Just my 2 cents.
So, I have been reasonably experienced in the Android world with terms to Nexus devices and Samsung but HTC still confounds me. I have an S-Off Rezound, it is on GB Firmware and everytime I flash a ROM I have to flash a fix for old firmware or else is random reboots. I have searched and searched on different occasions for the answer to this but I have yet to find a straight answer. Feel free to flame me, be rude, etc., but can someone please point me in the right direction. My Fiancee loves her Rez, has been running sense 4.1 since we got it (it was s-off when we got it, a happy surprise from the seller we bought it from on eBay.) But she is weary of the extra steps she needs to take to update a ROM. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

RUU http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
1st flash RUU(it will give you new firmware permanently)
2nd flash any rom with new firmware
Or ....
Download this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip
but don't run it as a PH98IMG just yet, replace the hboot in it from this
http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.25][STOCK][5-7]PH98IMG.zip
You will be soft-bricked until you flash a new rom/re-flash your current one.
Thanks guys, appreciate the info. She is going to run the RUU today and probably just go back to newts one xxx for global. She was getting tired fo forgetting to flash the "fix" everytime she updated.
You don't need to RUU if you're s-off, you can flash just the firmware, keep in mind you'll need to reverse the old firmware patch, that's available in the link below too..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
Global would be - [ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip, follow the directions in the post to install it.
Back up your rom just to be safe but you should be ok just flashing the combo you want along with the "new" firmware patch.
EDIT - Just realized Snuzzo posted the same thing, it's linked from the XDA post above which has directions in it.
I guys, I'm an occasional lurker that has a question for all you people that may be able to help. I have a Sprint Evo 4g LTE that has never been flashed and has only had stock updates up until this point. Personally, I liked ICS more and thought it acted faster. I attempted to flash it with a stock ics (the newest ics firmware) and the utility indicated that it was mismatched. I thought I'd ask here before I went on so I don't brick the phone. What I'm wondering is what does it take to get it back to the stock ICS? If I have to go through all the s-off and maybe some hboot stuff, is there a popular ICS firmware that I should use and skip the official?
I read a few results from my searches but I found a lot of questions that included their phone already being rooted and such. I don't really care about the rootage...just looking to get back to ICS.
Thanks in advance.
The only way for you is to root/unlock your phone and flash an ICS rom like mean rom ics which was packed with a lot of features, debloated, great battery life, etc... If you try to RUU back to ICS you might end up with a brick, I advise you against that, be careful and look for bigdaddy619 root guide and if you want the full experience get your phone s-off, of you only do the unlock thru htc dev you will have to flash the rom in a special way because the kernel/boot.img has to be flashed separately, anyways mean rom has this baked in so after you unlock/root and/or get s-off head to the original development thread and look for mean rom ics... Remember that before you do anything you will need to backup your personal stuff because the first step (htcdev.com unlock) deletes everything... Good luck!

Hello android geniuses, any help would be great, all i want to do is get the stock Tmo 4.3 update and keep that way from here on out, please help me get back to stock TMO Recovery and and get the bootloader relocked, while also unrooting my phone. I just bought Nexus 5 and i decided i want to keep my TMO HTC One stock for the wifi calling. I have been n stock tmo 4.1.2 since the day i bought this phone and the only thing that have done to it is root it and unlocked the bootloader and flashed the CWM Recovery and have not done anything since.
Im currently S-On
HBOOT 1.44
radio: 4A.17.3250.20
and my recovoery is clockworkMod
so i havent done much to this phone at all and i cant flash the new update becuse of my recovery. any help in the right direction would be much appreciated.
is it even possible in my current state my phone is in?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
that link will give you all you need to know to be 100% stock again. it's for all variants of the HTC One (save for the Sprint and maybe Verizon versions, i think)
follow the directions to the letter and carefully, and it should be relatively easy! good luck
There are at least 10 threads dealing with the exact same question. Read up man.
