How to I return from my current fresh rom back to the stock sense ui?
My cousin put the fresh rom on my phone and I just want to restore it back to the current stock sense ui that had swype and everything. How can I do that and will it keep my phone rooted?

That's a bit more of a process on the droid 2 than your average htc phone.
There are detailed instructions on flashing back to stock in the d2 general forum.

That will bring you back to stock 2.1. Doesn't allow AT&T OTA updates but good enough if you want to then flash up to COG.
Is there a way to restore back to original out of the box that will allow OTA updates? I have Cog and I want to go back to the original ROM but would like it to be fully functional.

you can use Odin to wipe your phone completely back to factory settings. I beleive it even removes root if you need to service your phone under warranty. I did that just recently and then flashed Cognition.

Use the previously mentioned ODIN to flash back to stock. Then download the mini kies program from samsung. Do an update using mini kies and that will bring you up to the most recent ROM stock ROM. I don't know if this will now support OTA updates since there have been no new OTA updates beyond what the Mini Kies will give you.
Got it. So Mini Kies I can download directly from Samsung correct?

I think he was saying he wanted a absolute stock to go back to just incase without the root access. To get it back to how it was when he bought it.

Exactly. I just needed that "go back to" for oopsies moments lol.
ROM manager contains most ROMs including stock ones. I would think that's your easiest solution.
There are a couple of rooted stock ROMS over in the dev section.

Hey guys...I have a rooted nexus s currently on Miui. I am wishing to go back to stock so I can get the official ICS rom from Google.
I wish to unroot my phone. I will flash back to my stock rom. Now, because I have all my apps, how do I unroot without wiping my phone? Since I will be unrooted titanium won't work. Would superoneclick work?
So my question is......(once I am back on my stock rom) ....how to I unroot without wiping my phone? Would superoneclick unroot button work? Please help. Thanks.

Sorry, I have read that you will lose all your data when you lock or unlock. Make a good backup.

No...I don't mind if it is still unlock. Infact...I would prefer that ...i just simple want to unroot so I can update to the ota ICS when Google release it
Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App
OK, then I suppose you just uninstall superuser and re-flash stock images of everything but data. I wonder if you need to restore /etc/install-recovery.sh? Actually renaming that back to original and rebooting should install stock recovery, but flashing the stock recovery image file will also work.

Why don't you keep it rooted and install rom like any other when it is released? So you don't have to wait for it to roll to your device

Why not just stay rooted and wait the few hours till some posts a rooted stock rom? I'm as anxious as anyone but I'm pretty sure I can hold off.....

I'm not having a major issue but it's something that in the excitement of being rooted and flashing my first ever ROM, I completely forgot to do.
Would it be possible to flash the stock rom exactly as I had it once I finished rooting the phone? I don't want to use it but just want a back up of everything exactly stock before I went ROM crazy. Any help would be much appreciated.

I will answer in two parts...first of all you should have posted you question in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213167, wich is actually related to stock roms. Anyway, you can use several methods to return to stock, but you will loose the root access, although you can root it again using the Hack Kit. Check this link, posted in the general section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
The other two ways to return to stock is using the Hack Kit to revert or Gene Pole's tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
And of course, you have many roms that are the stock rom with no bloat and deoxed....Please, next time before opening a thread search the forum. All the information is available, you just have to look for it....
After you root the phone with Advanced Ace Hack Kit do a NAND Backup from recovery.
If you already flashed a custom rom without backing up your stock rom, how would you now expect to backup something that doesn't exist anymore?

Thank you all for the replies. I figured I would have to return to stock via the aahk, but imagined there being a rom that's exactly the same as when you finish running the kit.
Since I'm about to return to stock, should I format my SDcard before running the hack kit?

Formatting the sdcard is not a must but in some cases helps speeding the process...
check the roms available in the development forum there are a couple of stock roms without bloatware...that might help you and you wont have to revert your phone back to stock....

Did you make a backup of the stock ROM before you went to a custom ROM?
