I was on a JB rom, didn't like due to the bugs, figuired I'd go back to Sense and wait it out until a 'stable' JB rom comes out. I wanted to go back to Ineffabilis Deus v1.2 and his thread he recommends flashing back to 4.03.605.2 RUU before flashing his rom. So I did the the RUU but now I'm back to stock recovery, etc.?
Couple questions...
- Did I lose root/su?
- Am I still unlocked/s-off
- Do I have to do the wire trick again
If all of the above are yes I guess I start buy flashing AmonRa, how do I do that again? After I flash AR I'll have root access again, right?
Thanks for the help,

You will retain s off through anything you do.
You lost root and your custom recovery.
You will have to flash a custom recovery and then a superuser to gain root. Then you'll be back to normal stock rom rooted and free to flash a custom rom again.
Also you probably lost everything in internal sd so yeah.... I lost some good photos from that before

You didn't need to RUU your phone to go back to Dues if you were already on that firmware level. The thread just recommends you be at 4.03.605.2.
Follow the guide to re-install your recovery.

That doesn't work for an .img file.
You need adb installed on your pc to flash an .img file. Copy the file somewhere, bring up a command prompt, reboot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, plug it into your PC, run "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img" without the quotes.
You can also just download the all in one toolkit which contains everything you need - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824

Place this in your sdk platform tools folder
http://unlimited.io/downloads/hboots/vigor/ICS_3.14.605.5/jb_hboot.zip
Then flash using the following commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
fastboot reboot
Then you can proceed with your recovery flash. Technically, you don't need to root again. A custom rom will cover that for you.

The firmware patch will upgrade all the firmware only without wiping out your rom. It will only work if you're s-off and you need to rename it and flash it in the bootloader.

Or you can flash a stock recovery without relocking/flashing RUU and take the update if you are on stock ROM.
Why does everyone think you have to rearm your bootloader for updates?
Remember we have an unlocked bootloader which is signed by HTC you don't need to relock for anything, the signatures contained in it are valid
The only thing you have to make sure to receive the ota is to be fully stock, doesn't matter if rooted or not, and that you have stock recovery and all the bloatware that came with the phone, otherwise the update will fail.
Note : if your rooted you will loose root after the update.

IF you are 1.5 S-OFF then its business as usual. Flash the ROM from custom recovery like traditionally you would and you should be good.
Most of us have Hboot 1.5 S-ON, this method involves flashing the Kernel first (however you want to flash: fastboot or Flash GUI) and then flashing the ROM via custom recovery.
im sorry i mistyped, im s-on, and i do know how to flash roms i was wondering the proper steps to update to the newest firmware. i have read many instructions about it but im a moron and got confused along the way
again thanks

Extract the recovery.img file from a RUU/ROM.zip file.
And then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or rename it to PG86IMG.ZIP and run it like an ruu?
If that's the case, can you just run the last Sprint ruu then do update? Or will the ruu not overwrite recovery and kernel? Trying to figure this out to without messing up the phone. I am also running with 1.5 s-on.

Nope, i went from their modded hboot with the gb firmwire, how would i go about modding the ics one?
When you ran the ruu it replaced their hboot with the stock one. Look in the s-off thread for the juopunutbear hboot. It has the download for it and instructions. But be careful. Bad things can happen messing with hboot. I would recommend just unlocking again but it's up to you. If you do unlock I don't think there's a way for it to say locked again without turning s_on and running the s-off again

Thanks, im pretty sure i got it, Download the controlbear from the s-off tool and get the hboot, but... can anyone tell me the command to run? its like fastboot flash jhboot.img or something..
"fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip
fastboot reboot"
Got it, thanks much for the help
you cannot use fastboot flash or fastboot boot with a stock,locked,hboot.
the download is an appropriate PH98IMG file. you can put on sd card,boot to hboot,say yes to update or:
put zip into folder with adb/fastboot
boot to fastboot
open cmd window
fastboot devices
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <zipname>.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
verify the hboot changed
fastboot reboot
after you have the eng hboot,you can use fastboot flash to install the recovery if you want. you can also install the recovery exactly like above
to fastboot flash:
take image out of download,put inside folder with adb/fastboot utilities
boot to fastboot
open cmd window
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
fastboot reboot
note that the <zipname> and <recoveryname> must be exactly the same as what the image or zip inside your adb/fastboot folder is called.
First, thank you for reading and helping.
Second, sorry if this has been asked, but every thread I see is slightly different.
I'm on GB 1.36.531.6 (never did the OTA Wifi calling update), I'm rooted, with CWM, Unlocked, with S-On.
How do I revert everything back like it was from factory? If I've read correctly, I need to flash to stock bootloader then flash an RUU? Do I need to re-lock beforehand or will flashing handle this?
Thank you in advance.
relock your bootloader, then flash ph85img in hboot. back to stock!
So I don't need to worry about CWM at all?
No need to worry about anything else after you flash the ph85img because it writes everything back to stock. Just like factory. The only thing that you'll see different is you Bootloader will say relocked instead of locked or unlocked.

I'm in the same situation as the op. I want to go back to stock so I can get the official OTA ICS upgrade.
I was able to re-lock my bootloader.
How the heck do you flash the ph85img.zip in HBOOT? I downloaded the "PH85IMG_Ruby_TMOUS_1.43.531.3_Radio_1.08.550L.19DC _30.66.550L.08D_release_228638_signed.zip" in the stock ROM collection thread, then renamed it to PH85IMG.zip.
But I did this after relocking the bootloader. So, I didn't place it on the SD card before relocking. Did it need to be done before? How do I access the SD card from HBOOT?
I tried typing fastboot update PH85IMG.zip in the cmd prompt, but that didn't do the trick.
Please help.

Simple answer would be ....if you are soff. And fastboot is properly setup, then type fast boot OEM lock when you are in fast boot mode. It will lock and reboot. Pull battery. Boot back into bootloader (assuming you have a stock boot loader) and run the latest ics ruu exe. Then once it boots. Enable adb debbuging. Disable quickboot in power setting. Pull battery. Go back to fast boot. HTC dev unlock. You should already still have the unlock token on your pc. Unlock the bootloader. Then fastboot the recovery. Go to the recovery ( I like amon ra) and flash super user. Then reboot...or flash your Rom. All done.
