Hi all,
I changed my HTC One to international following a guide on this forum. Now I'm stock and my device received the 4.2.2 OTA.
I want to keep my phone stock to receive updates, but I need to restore my titanium backup. So I'll need root and I know how to do that: install a recovery then supersu.
The thing is after the restore I want to revert root and remove the custom recovery. I read that I'll need to replace twrp with a stock recovery buy since my device is on 4.2.2 I don't know what file to flash.
Any help will be appreciated.

Theres no way to do what you want as far as I know because after you're done re locking the bootloader it wipes the sd card and all data anyway so your best bet is to use HTC backup.

The one-click root process only replaces the custom recovery, and from there you can immediately make what is called a "Nandroid" backup. That will make a complete backup of the regular OS & user data on the phone. You do this step immediately - the first time you use the Amon_RA recovery.
Without root, there is no way to back up your phone completely; you need root privileges to do that.
That means that if in the future you wanted to "return to stock behavior", you could simply restore your first Nandroid backup. The phone will work exactly as a stock phone, but of course will not be a "pure" stock phone because it will still have a custom recovery on it.
If you decide to return to 100% stock you can use the "FlashBack15 v1" ROM, available here on XDA.

Hello,
I have a new thunderbolt, which is not rooted. What is the best way to get rid of apps such as Blockbuster, v-cast stuff, etc., etc, while keeping the phone stock? Is this even possible?
Sorry for the newb question and thanks for any help
If you don't root, you can't remove them.

Yep, not possible unless you root. One of the nice things about Gingerbread is you can default to frequently used apps and never see the bloatware.

Thanks for the replies
It is possible, of course, to root the phone and not install another ROM, correct? To just leave the OS as it is, and use something like Titanium Backup to delete stuff from there?

ROM does not necessarily mean custom. There are stock ROMs pulled from the updates/leaks that are not modified by anyone. Using one of those would be what you want.
But is it possible not to install/flash anything after rooting? Just leave it as it is?
Use revolutionary method and you can stick with stock rom and be rooted. It'll replace your hboot with a custom one with s-off, then flash clockwork for custom recovery, then install superuser via recovery. Your rom will be complete stock with root then.

revolutionary method?

Don't use the one click methods, use the adb method or revolutionary method. Adb method will delete your data, revolutionary will let you keep your data, but it takes extra steps to revert to the stock bootloader.

Yeah, but if u unlocked the bootloader then u lose some apps. If u haven't unlocked or rooted yet pm and we'll talk.

Use holo backup or ultimate backup tool, no need for root.
Hello,
I have the stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2(XWLST) on my Galaxy S2 currently which was rooted using Mobile Odin pro when flashing the ROM. Now, I want Clockworkmod Recovery to do a nandroid backup, but how do I go about it without overwriting the current root apk? I'm having this doubt since any cwm zip file will have it's own root apk, and I understand the current root apk will be overwritten with the new one from the zip file. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!
PS: if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Read up on nandroid backup, it is a process of backing up the entire state of your phone, to be used whenever you corrupt your firmware by doing risky stuff. So it won't override your root status and I don't know how to explain this to you but you are confusing yourself with a lot of misunderstanding. For doing a nandroid backup go into your phone's recovery and use the backup option.

Umm, I'm really not sure whether you understood what I actually asked. I know what a nandroid backup is. My question and your answer are in no way related. Anyway, thanks for answering.
Found out the answer.
Flashing the Siyah-s2-6.0b5 Kernel for rooting JB 4.1.2 XWLST pushed CWM recovery along with SuperSU. Since I already have SuperSU, it wasn't overwritten.

This wasn't exactly that clear though, and I am wondering why you are getting worried about the root app changing? Suppose Superuser got installed you can change to SuperSu anytime by changing the su binary of Superuser with that of SuperSu.

I had always rooted my phone by using CF-root(which also pushed CWM recovery) from the beginning and this was my first time with Mobile Odin. I was just trying to figure out a way to flash CWM recovery without losing my current root apk. I have mentioned how I got this to work in my previous comment. Thank you anyway.
Hello everyone
I have S-OFF HTC Droid DNA everything go well Normally available.
After that, I have a big problem with HTC Droid Dna can not boot stuck on HTC LOGO.
I can not do anything with it cannot flash official rom.
Is there any way I can fix it.
Please help
thank you
There is a section called Droid DNA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting, that would be a good place to post a question about a device your having trouble with. But regardless of posting in the wrong section you haven't provided nearly enough information for anyone to help you.
As you describe the state of the device you should have no problem flashing an RUU via fastboot and fully restoring the phone to a stock like condition (still s-off). My point here is that your going to need to explain exactly what you did to get here so someone can provide you with the right steps to fix your issue.

Format your memory in your custom recovery and that should get u back to be able to flash a ROM or ruu to stock.

What error are you getting when you try to install a custom rom?
What ROM are you trying to install?
Have you tried re-downloading that ROM?
Did you make sure to wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system?
Root would normally be installed with the custom ROM, if not you can always install SuperSU after you install the ROM, which TWRP normally offers to install for you, or via a flashable zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/)
If you have adb tools installed you can also sideload the ROM. (adb sideload ROM-NAME.zip)
Your best bet would be to follow this guild to return to 100% stock. Hope this helps, just make sure to read through the guild carefully.
