Hey guys!
So I unlocked and rooted my off and flashed the Google stock edition rom to my phone. I would like to return to stock. Completely stock.
I used HTCs RUU Update utility and it failed and put my phone in an infinite bootloader loop.
How can I go back to stock? Thanks :3

I just relocked my bootloader and now I can't get past the bootloader. It boots into it
Wipe cache via all in one kit. Rerun ruu.exe.

Hello i currently am on GB Rom but when i turn on the phone it goes to the bootloader and says "TAMPERED". When I go to reboot option, it turns on the phone. How can I flash the RUU or return it to complete stock, since I have to send it into VZW. Thanks!

I *think* this is the best you can do. Maybe even reflash stock recovery and re-lock but unsure if that rom will boot in a re-locked state.

you need to HTC dec relock run the new Ruu twice
Hey people,
since HTC released their new update I tried to install it on my device.
Unfortunately my phone doesn't boot anymore.
So I'm stuck at the "HTC"- welcome (boot) screen.
Some specs about my phone:
HTC EVO 3d - X515m >GSM<
HBOOT 1.49.0018
S-On with HTC unlocked.
4EXT Recovery (CWM didn't work)
-Updated with the Systemupdate.
Greetings
You have to relock your bootloader and use an ruu to go back to stock before you can take the official OTA.
I've went back to stock (Relocked) and I have not found a method to flash to the new ICS. This phone is not on the Sprint network.
Any solutions other than S-OFF?
I just rooted my mother's phone and was going to flash a custom ROM, when she took the OTA and ended in the same result, locked at htc boot screen. I relocked the phone via fastboot and flashed a stock gingerbread rom via USB to get the phone running again. I'm now taking the OTA update of ICS for her. I'll try to unlock her on the other side.
Thanks,
I figured it out.
The needed to upgrade to ICS final is to "Relock" then take the OTA after connecting to the Internet..
I used WiFi for the download.

Hello all, I am new to these forums so I apologize in advance for possibly sounding a bit uninformed.
I got a Rezound from a friend that was never unlocked or rooted that was stuck in a boot loop. I tried everything to bring it back to life with no luck. I flashed the stock RUU, I unlocked via HTC Dev and flashed Amon ra 3.15 recovery. No matter what I did, It would just boot up to the HTC white screen and shut down and repeat over and over.
I decided to put a custom ROM on it to see if that would work. I flashed Scott's Clean ROM from recovery along with his PH98IMG.zip file as instructed to do and the phone came to life. I am currently running the Clean Rom which is ICS 4.0.3 which happens to be the same android version as stock.
What I am wondering is, If I can somehow get this phone back to stock? The RUU didn't work the first 20 times I tried it and it probably won't work now. Is it possible to flash the stock ROM through recovery? Is RUU the only way to go? Do I need to use stock recovery to load stock ROM? If anyone knows how I can get this phone to stock, I would appreciate it. It is strange how it works on custom ROM but not on stock.

Which RUU did you run?
Edit: Also, boot into the hboot and find out which hboot and radios you have.
Yrs give us your baseband and hboot versions.. everything that the hboot screen says.. s-on s-off... Locked unlocked..

Alright I will try to recap what ive done today. I Was rooted with s-off via the thunderbolt tool and had the new ICS rom installed and running fine. But I decided to sell it so I used the thunderbolt tool to unroot and return to stock.
All was going well then in the boot-loader the update failed and i got stuck with boot-loader locked security warning, which would not let me do anything, was stuck in the boot-loader.
After some searching I found a link to unlock the boot-loader via htcdev to fix the security warning and allowed me to finally boot back into the rom but the phone kept shutting down after it booted up past the thunderbolt screen. So after searching I found this link http://www.thunderboltforums.com/forum/htc-thunderbolt-help/7853-how-fix-security-warning.html and used the 2nd method to fix it since I still have a custom recovery on the phone. Now my problem is I am once again trying to get s-off through the thunderbolt tool like it says in the guide but every time I use the tool it says Starting up... and does nothing. Bascially im now stuck with s-on and an unlocked boot-loader. oh I tried to relock the bootloader but it just gives me a security warning again and im stuck in the bootloader again.
Any Ideas?
Alright never-mind I just used the Revolutionary 0.4 program and gained "revolutionary" in the pink field and s-off again so im good there again.
The thunderbolt tool is still stuck at "starting up"..., is there another way to get the tbolt back to stock condition?

If you have S-off then just grab a stock RUU (easiest probably gingerbread) and flash the RUU in hboot. This will completely return your phone to stock as well as unroot you. If you wish to keep root then flash a leaked RUU that someone put up.

If you're already rooted go to the development section and download the new radio and put it on the root of your sd card, rename it to PG05IMG.zip, reboot into the bootloader. The bootloader will automatically scan for the update and ask it you want to update. Select yes. Once it is finished and the phone boots back up. Use a file manager to browse to the radio and rename it. Then download and flash the official ics build. Don't confuse it with the leak. The leak is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't come close to how much better the ota is.

I was trying to return my phone back to stock that had S-OFF and a 4.4.2 ROM, I got rid of Unlocked and tampered in my bootloader and S-ON'd my phone. I am trying to flash an RUU that will work with the 1.55 HBOOT and non of the ones I have found helped. The phone will not boot into recovery, it boots into the bootloader and will not go past it. Anyone know what I can do?

I have similar problem. If you don't have a custom recovery there is nothing you can do besides wait for at&t to release the ota update and extract the firmware.zip from it and flash that. the problem is when you flash a google edition rom to an att phone the bootloader signature wont match and you can no longer unlock through htc dev, and any rom you try to flash will either fail because: a) your main ver. is higher than the rom you are trying to flash (cant downgrade locked phone) or b)signature verification fail... like I said above. Feel free to pm me and I will give you some more info and some other things you may be able to try.
