Does going back to stock remove custom recovery such as 4ext recovery? And by returning to stock, does it return everything back to stock as if it were a brand new phone?

no returning to stock does not remove 4ext recovery.. and technically yes the phone will be "bran new" although if anyone checks your bootloader status it will say "relocked" since you need to relock the boot loader before you flash back to stock with the RUU... if you would like more info on "how to return to stock" and flash back "stock" recovery.. please provide the following info... : carrier, android os version (whether GB or ICS) and S-On/S-Off.. thank you and i hope that answered your question

I would like more info about flashing "stock" recovery.
Carrier: T-Mobile
Android OS: ICS
S-ON
Oh and flashing both stock ROM and stock recovery is basically a complete stock of a phone, right?
Edit: I just finished flashing the stock ROM (RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip)
how did you flash the stock rom? from recovery or from the bootloader? and flashing the RUU is considering going back to "stock" flashing stock recovery also is just an extra people do incase they need too

I flashed it through bootloader in fastboot. So basically I'm completely in 'stock/original' just from flashing the RUU?

Hi. I am new to HTC and I would like some informations about this phone. I own a HTC EVO 3D(HBOOT 1.49.0018) and here are some questions:
1) I have unlocked the bootloader with HTC method, installed a .img recovery from revolutionary (shooteru) then root. S-On. Is there any way of making the bootloader locked again? As far as I understood, it can be made RElocked, but this means my warranty is voided, right?
2) What is the difference between S-Off and S-On, if the bootloader is unlocked? Can I flash ROMs/Kernels from CWM, or there's some limitations?
3) What is a RUU image? I have downloaded RUU_Shooter_U_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.8_Radio_10.59.9020.00_10.15.9020.06_M_release_219793_signed.exe (this is what I have on the phone right now, those versions). If I connect the phone to USB and run that file, what will happen to my phone? It will be stock? No CWM and everything stock? I mean, if I flash a custom ROM, then I want stock, I flash that file?
4) Can I root/temporary root another HTC EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.49.0018 WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader?
I think more questions will come, as I have this phone for less than a week.
As far as I understood, it can be made RElocked, but this means my warranty is voided, right?

Technically yes, however most Sprint stores will work on it as long as you re-locked it and are on a stock rom.

Kernels have to be flashed separately:

An exe file that will completely return your phone to stock. Recovery, bootloader, hboot, everything...

Completely stock, including your sd card will be wiped.

No, because this will COMPLETELY unroot you, and you may not be able to root again. If you want a stock rom, just flash the rom zip file. RUU's are pretty much only used when you need to send your phone back to sprint, as its easier to run this to unroot and go back to stock than to separately unroot and separately flash the rom.
Every rom I flash keeps screwing up and camera never opens up. I'm wanting to do the newest update but I haven't seen much about a root method for it. Is there an easier way to do it? I'm S-ON hboot 1.15.
So you want the ota?

yes, I don't care about s-off or cm10 fastboot flashing or anything to do with new hboot problems..
It's best to flash the stock rom and recovery for 1.15 and relock bootloader, then accept the ota and if you want to flash roms again just unlock and flash twrp then you can go back to flashing roms again

Subscribed to this thread because I may be wanting to unroot, update, then re-root soon.
Flash a stick rom, the 1.22 base I believe. Put the phone in fastboot and flash the original recovery image with adb
Camera doesn't work, wifi won't turn on, battery isn't charging. I'm waiting patiently till the note II is available.

Can you dumb it down a lot more? I'm really confused on what to do.
I found this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766628 is this right?
I'm needing to take my phone into sprint because I believe my digitizer needs replaced. The screen keeps freezing and clicking random things without me touching it. Tried different roms and kernels do figured it must be hardware issue.
Anyhow I'm needing to keep my hboot s-off because my laptop craped out on me this week and wont be able to re root and s-off again without my laptop working.
All I'm wanting to do is make my phone look stock by putting a stock unrooted rom on it so sprint can replace the digitizer.I've looked on the web n can only find a stock rooted rom but where can I get a stock unrooted rom? Thanks

Easiest way is to flash the RUU.exe from Windows or the zip version of the RUU from the bootloader. That will return everything to stock including the bootloader and recovery, but leave you S-OFF so you can just flash a custom bootloader and recovery after they repair the phone and you will be back in business.

You'll need the .zip version from this post to do that. The one at the top is the latest (Sprint ICS 2.89.651.2).

When my digitizer went out, I took mine in rooted and they fixed it no questions asked. In fact, one tech asked me about my team custom splash screen I made and another loved the skin I was running.
But, I understand not wanting to give them any reason to argue.

If you are S-OFF a PG86IMG.zip version of any custom recovery should work.

I got the recovery installed. I tried to install a version of twrp but it hung at the splash screen and figured it had to do with the hboot. I just re downloaded it and installed again and it worked. Thanks.

I was was at sprint earlier and they don't have the parts to fix my phone so they have to order me a new phone. Should be in by Monday. I just wanted to have root until then. Appreciate your help!

I recently installed Mean Horsey Face ROM, but realized I have really old radios that I've never updated. What's the easiest way to update my radios via this ROM? I know I can flash them from hboot if I were S-OFF, but how can I do it from S-ON?
Thanks!
Old radios? Please post the version information from software info in about phone.

If you want the global firmware, follow this - http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
It will wipe out your rom, recovery, etc so back up your phone first. Once you're done you can re-unlock your bootloader, flash your custom recovery and restore your rom/re-flash your boot.img.
Will installing this RUU install the default rezound ROM and leave my phone fully functional? I will unlock bootloader / custom recovery and all re-flash my own rom at some point, but I want to see how long this will all take. Thanks.

It returns the phone to out of the box stock basically but will update all the firmware to the latest. You have to go through the whole unlock/root/recovery process again.
As long as you saved your unlock token from before, it's a piece of cake to re-do it all..
Can anyone upload the AT&T stock recovery img? @thoughtlesskyle was awesome enough to upload the system and boot partitions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-one-m9/general/stock-stock-twrp-t3080499
I guess the AT&T RUU would work as well if anyone has that floating around.
THX all!
I would also really appreciate a flashable stock recovery partition!
I have a brand new HTC One M9, stock and untouched - I unlocked the bootloader, but relocked it before flashing TWRP or anything because I realized that I can have root, or stock recovery, but not both.
I'm reluctant to wipe the stock recovery image and replace it with TWRP, because I *really* want the camera OTA applied correctly when AT&T decides to push it out.
If I wipe the stock recovery, install TWRP, and install root along with a ROM - I'll lose the stock recovery, and even if I reflash a bone-stock system dump, the recovery partition will be modified so I won't be able to take the AT&T signed OTA and flash it.
I even tried to "fastboot boot twrp-recovery-2.8.6.4.img" in both bootloader and download mode to see if I can use TWRP without flashing and blowing away the stock recovery partition, but no luck.... and it seems I'm unable to backup the stock recovery partition as is unless I get root (which requires me to flash TWRP...)

I'm confused on how I can return my m9 to Full stock. I have twrp , S OFF and SuperSU.
I've downloaded RUU from http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
Do I first do S-ON then launch RUU exe and it will be back to stock? Do I even need to have S-ON ? Will flashing RUU via just running it remove root AND twrp?
att HTC One M9 back to stock fully
So this is what I found after some research and was successful at resetting everything to stock:
If you are rooted, unlocked, your status on bootloader says 'modified' but you want to go back to stock. To return the phone or some other reason:
First - set your phone to S-OFF with http://theroot.ninja/index.html I know - it costs $25. I will gladly accept another way of doing it, but unaware of one.
Second - set your Software Status back to Official by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/how-to-restore-software-status-original-t3092882
This the second step since you need to be S-OFF for it to work.
At this point you'll still have your Bootloader showing as Unlocked and of course S will be OFF.
Then do the step 2 to lock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
Then I would not do step 3, but only because I found ROM exe for my ATT one m9 here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html
It'll take 5 minutes or so to finish. This will reload your Lollipop back to factory state. It will also unroot your phone.
Then you can do S-ON by rebooting to download mode ( adb reboot download ) and running: ( fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 ). This was 'optional' step after step 7 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-return-m9-to-100-stock-s-off-t3091730
