Can't find a definitive answer through the threads I've read, but what exactly is the STOCK ICS OTA open gl version for the HTC amaze? It definitely isn't 213XXXX, is it the 218XXXX? Would someone mind looking through their stock version? Its bugging me real bad that I ''upgraded'' to the 213XXXX version without proper research. Would a nandroid recovery from a pre-flash state bring me back to normal?

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.
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!

Noob question but I cannot find the answer – one that I trust and can, with confidence, understand. Where can I find stock version of 4.3 (or 4.4 for that matter). I"m still on 4.1.2. I'm so looking to get a newer version. Why? I don't know exactly but I'd say because I've read reports that it runs smoother, faster and better on battery.
Too, is there a site that has all the possible ROMs for the HTC One (att)? Recommendations?
I assume that I, after I find the rom I want to install, boot into recovery, wipe the device and then install (having found the downloaded rom file on my sim)? Yes??
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks in advance!!!
stock rom if you are s-on you need to relock your bootloader

Hey guys. I am aware of search function and I am aware there are few threads that provide links to various stock rom packages and recoveries. I will be honest, I am actually a noob trying to go back to stock ROM. I have been using custom ROMS since months. I am not really impressed by ROMs performance after a while and thought of going back to stock(at least it has a better camera app). I have went through those threads but I could not understand or they could not provide the info I was looking for. There are different KIWL21 models, one is for UK and the other one is for Middle east. How am I supposed to know which one is right for my phone?
My goal is to: Revert back to Stock ROM, EMUI 4 with MM update keeping TWRP(if possible).
Therefore, I am opening this thread to ask for a very straightforward guidance. I am sorry to bother you guys again with this kind of thread. Personally speaking, I am going to miss these custom ROMs, their clean looks. I was never a fan of EMUI. All I am doing it is because of a camera because lately I have been using camera alot.
Didnt you save a backup before you flashed ? Use the search function next time I am not going to spoon feed you https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/discussion-rollback-package-various-t3675038

I had a backup but it got deleted accidentally. I downloaded B140 debloated update from gopi. I am not sure if its the right version
It shouldn't make any difference as longs as its l21, country information is usually stored in cust
