Yes you can use the RUU to go to either 2.2 or 2.3 stock unrooted ill provide a link in a sec
Edit: here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=971550

Wow quick reply.....Thx !!! I did try that link but i downloaded the 2.3.3 and when i booted into recovery and tried it i didnt get option to apply zip. I guess i will dl the 2.2 and try that ?

You'll need to format your SD card to fat32 in order for bootloader to recognize the zip.

You don't flash it via recovery.
Read the directions exactly you have to rename it to some weird name like "pg10mc" or something (its the device model) and put it on root of sd card and update it in bootloader
Its not hard at all just read all the directions

And what he said

Figured it out.... the 2.2 doesnt need to be renamed. the 2.3.3 does

Oh ok well then it should be pretty simple.
I used the 2.2 ruu once and never used the 2.3
Why do you want to go to stock?
Just wondering because if you go to 2.3 stock and want to root later you can't

I seem to be having issues using this method. It states first thing the link that the device must be in S-Off and must be Rooted for this to work. After the OTA 2.3.3 update my device lost root and went back to S-ON.
HBOOT seems to load and check the file but I never get the option to press VOL Up to update. Has anyone experienced this before?

If you took the update this will not work because of the updated hboot. I believe the original poster was rooted with s-off.

So then if I was able to find a RUU that is stock 2.2 with S-ON then it should work?
I do not mind re rooting once I am back on 2.2 before I upgrade to cyanogen 7

If your running the official update from HTC ( Gingerbread 2.3.3 s-off) there is no way to revert back to froyo. This has been discussed several times over. As of right now all you can do is temp root and wait for perma root to be found.

already fully rooted here.. but this seems interesting. Will have to read more about it... sounds like a winner though.
so you can use this even if you have already done the OTA? I have a friend that accepted it (after i already told him not to) and really wants root now. LOL

Rooted, Froyo 2.2/Sprint, HBoot 0.76.2000, Radio 2.15.00.07.28, ClockworkMod Recovery - applied and bootloader shows S-OFF!
Sweet splash screen - all good here.
Recovery works, backed up and restored, no issues!
Great stuff - now to test...
Question, does this allow us to accept the official ota and get the 1.40 prl, i ask cause that seems to be priority!
Of course I'm rooted with nand unlocked. Running Calkulin.

You need the PRI file first!!! And if you have it share it cause everyone is wanting it. Once more people get this on their phone it should be a little while then someone should be able to drop that file so we can all update to the PRI.
Do we have to rename the zip file to "update" before we flash?

Was just reading the install instructions and says you can use unrevoked3 to install custom recovery (per their website says v3 works on all supported phones even if not previously rooted), then you should be able to finish the install of unrevoked forever and presumably flash any new rom.... hmmmmmmmmm.. sounds a little too good to be true.. .but who knows??? lol
I will definitely be playing with this on my friends evo just to see what we can do!

[Q] What happens with root?

Hello XDA members
I was wondering, when the new android sandwich comes out, and you got a rooted and S-off HTC sensation. But not custom rom. What will happen to the root and S-off when you update to the new android sandwich?
Thanks
Want to know too ahehhe
We'll lose root but keep S-OFF I'd imagine
Cool, thanks for the answer
I have perm-rooted my Sensation and i was wondering when the new official update from HTC comes out will i be able to install it automatically like when i was not rooted or because i am S-Off it will not let me?
Thanks
i could be wrong but no you wont be able to perform an ota update. im only saying this because the last ota update failed because the update looks for the stock recovery in order to update the system. seeing that you are rooted i assume you have cwm installed and if this ota update does indeed look for the stock recovery than it will fail. the only way around this is to either instal a stock ruu and lose root or instal the stock recovery and again lose root. either way you are gonna lose root.
Could you give me a link where there is a guide to install the stock recovery?

Depends. If you're just running the original rom which came on your phone but rooted, it should still allow ota updates, but you'll lose root (but keep s-off). If you're on a custom rom you won't receive an ota.
To OP, if you ran an ruu or ota of ice cream sandwich, as eddy says, you'll lose root but remain s-off. That said, a custom ics rom will probably come out weeks/months before an official HTC update
Well, when we got the RUU, we can extract and repack to our rooted ROM

Yes I am running the stock rom so I will receive the pta update. I know that I will lose root in every scenario if I install the stock ROM one way or another.

So i just flash one of these roms, without deleting cache or doing a reset ?
not entirely true. i was rooted on stock rom when the last ota rolled out. i tried installing it but it failed. i did a lil search here and found a few people mentioned that it failed due to cwm and they also mentioned that you should try flashing back the stock recovery. i tried that and it installed successfully. easy way to get the stock recovery is to instal the correct ruu of your rom. but as we all know it wipes out everything off your phone. i did find this guide which the stigx has asked for (sorry buddy didnt see you there ) which shows you how to extracted the stock recovery off of the ruu and than flash it back to your phone.

But if I need to follow your guide i have to have the OTA update file,w hich haven't comet out yet. What do i Do? It seems so hard to remove root and custom recovery :'(
But thank for your answer !
well the general idea is to get your stock recovery back without losin your data. so really all you need to do is flash your stock recovery reboot your phone and check for updates. if updates are available: system>about phone>check for updates, download the update and install. it shouldnt fail cause you have stock recovery instead of cwm. in short just do the top part of the guide and skip the rest cause you dont have the updates file on your computer.
So if i do step 1-12 I will have normal phone? Just like I started or do i still keep root?
Thank you so much for your hep !

You can also use this software to install the stock recovery. that way you don't loose settings by installing RUU

yes you do 1-12 but you keep root. the only difference is that you will no longer have cwm for flashing, back up, and all other goodies. but once you run the ota and it installs you lose root.
but have a look at the link frederikh just posted. seems alot better than the current method. im reading over it now
Thanks for the answers!
I think i will go with the link frederikh gave me But God bless you Divine! Thank you for your help !

[Q] Returning to stock [i9020a]

I just wanted to make sure that I understood the process of returning my phone to stock before I make a mistake.
All I've done since I purchased the phone was root it and unlock the bootloader. I have not loaded any custom roms.
So If I understand this correctly I need to:
1) Flash the Stock Image (which should include the stock recovery?)
2) Use fastboot to lock the bootloader
The reason I'm wanting to return the phone to stock is to receive OTA updates. I never use any apps requiring root, and don't plan on loading any custom roms.
I never did find a 2.3.4 stock image for the I9020A..
you should actually be able to get ota updates no problem. it'll just remove root every time you update.
it's probably not a good idea to lock the bootloader though cause if you ever want to unlock it again in the future you'll have to wipe everything from your phone. your best bet is to just flash stock recovery so you can install the update
i'm pretty sure that works, but hopefully someone else can verify just so you don't get some bad information lol
I heard the same thing about OTA updates. If you're phone is rooted and you're using the original rom, you'll get the update but you'll have to root your phone once again.
I haven't tried this myself so I cannot verify it.
It's just the word on the street, you know!

you need stock everything, so stock kernel, rom, radio, etc... the op should be fine to update if they flash stock recovery though. rooting is simple from there

Didn't happen on mine (In fact im using a self rooted rom based on that exact stock zip) try doing a wipe in stock recovery.
after flashing that does it take it back to out of box condition?
reason i ask is because i bought a already rooted and unlocked one here from market place and i want to return it to stock firmware, radio, kernel and such to recieve OTA updates and what not.
your info is greatly appreciated

Using my zip yes... it flashes Bootloader, Radio, Boot, System and on first boot (and any other time recovery changes) Recovery is flashed. All you got to to is lock the bootloader and that wipes user data and usb storage.
hey man i appreciate you coming forward with a solution, ive yet to recieve the phone but wanted to prepare.
my goal is to flash everything back to stock and start completly over whereas i have no clue what method was originally used to root and unlock the bootloader.
when the time comes hope you dont mind a PM if i have any extra questions.

Just did the method using the stock ROM provided by kibmcz "thanks BTW!"
Phone is back to stock, working like it did when I first bought it. Had a little trouble with some Force Close issues but did a factory reset/data clear of the cache and all that before re-flashing, and it seems to be working Vanilla!

Do you have 2.3.3 or 2.3.4? If you have 2.3.3 then the update might be to upgrade your device to 2.3.4, but you can't update it if you have cwm installed and rooted. You have to install stock recovery and unroot your device first, only then will you be able to install the update. Do not worry, You will not loose s-off.

This is the link to the bell ruu. I do not know if it is 2.3.4 or 2.3.3
run this ruu and your device should be back to stock. you will loose all installed apps ang games though so you need to reinstall all of them again then just check for updates.

Gain root access on the latest 1.55.531.3 update, ONLY IF you are S-OFF

I found out that it is possible to gain root access in an 'unrootable' update, IF you are S-OFF, by flashing ClockworkMod thru the bootloader, and then flashing Superuser thru ClockworkMod. I found out that this worked on the G2, as described here by rdmerck:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206930
So all i did was replace the android_info.txt and the recovery.img in his zip, with the ones for our device. I just tried it, and it worked! i have Superuser access in the new 1.55.531.3 ROM.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Pretty simple...
1. Download the 2 attached files, put them both on the root of your sdcard, and rename the CWM_HBOOT.zip to PG59IMG.zip.
2. Boot into the bootloader however you prefer, let it read the PG59IMG.zip, and press volume up to update when prompted. When it finishes, it will prompt you to press Power to reboot.
3. Now boot into recovery however you prefer, and it should be ClockworkMod(I used the Modaco 4.0.0.9 version, basically because i had it conveniently lying around in .img format. I'm sure Rom Manager could now be used to flash the latest 5.0.2.7 version of CWM). Choose 'install from sdcard', then 'choose zip from sdcard', then choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and choose 'yes'. As has happened in the past, i had to flash it 3 times until it successfully installed. But it did work.
4. Choose to reboot, and enjoy root access on the latest stock ROM!
I figure a lot of people probably won't need all that instruction, but i included it for people who are newer to flashing stuff thru the HBOOT and CWM. I also figure that the user base for this will probably be very small, as most folks who are S-OFF probably are not choosing to run the stock ROM. But anyway, if you DO have S-OFF, i wanted you to know that you can have root access on the latest update. I figure this will also enable us to make nandroid images of the new ROM, if that would help development at all.
Anyway, here are the 2 files:
ClockworkMod: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/CWM_HBOOT.zip
Superuser: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18474790/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
Note:
-This worked for me and should work for you, but use at your own risk.
-You must be S-OFF to do this.
-Hopefully this is only a temporary solution for those with S-OFF, until either Team Revolutionary cracks the update, or HTCDEV fixes whatever is preventing their bootloader unlocker tool from working on our device.

Yeah man, sounds good. I mean, perhaps this will be helpful to at least a few people, lol. It's an interesting and very simple idea tho... probably useful mainly on stock HBOOTs where fastboot is blocked, but S-OFF had been attained.

HTC Supertools has been out for a while. IDK, I got S-Off and Root on my Brothers DS. I got S-Off first, then ran the root exploit.

Well, since nobody has made a custom rom with the latest OTA bits, you will have to do what I did:
You'll need to downgrade yourself with the stock PG59IMG.zip, putting that file (found here) on the root of your sdcard and booting into the bootloader.
That will basically return your phone to stock and, IIRC, revert your status to S-OFF Locked. Then you'll need to boot up and check for system updates. You'll definitely be given the first small OTA update, but you very likely wont receive the latest OTA update via system updates.
For that you'll need to download it (from here) and flash it through the stock recovery. Once you've done that you can use the instructions in this thread to re-flash clockworkmod recovery and re-root.
Your phone will still be S-OFF but you'll have a locked bootloader.
Still can't figure out what I need to do to root my phone. That's on hboot 1.45.0013
Guess I might have to wait til Revo find a fix for it.

Since you're S-OFF, you could flash ClockworkMod on the update and then flash a custom ROM, but I believe that would leave you with an old ROM and the new radio, which seems to have caused issues for people. Since there aren't yet any custom ROMs based on the latest update, you should probably stay where you are if you want a custom ROM. But if you do install the update, you would still be able to downgrade and get back to where you are now.
Wonder how long it will/could be before revo crack the current HBOOT

You could run this ROM, which is based on the latest OTA release from HTC, so no OTA updates are needed. It is optimized, deodexed, and tweaked just a tad. I use it as my daily driver with great success. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12063-devrom12192011-stock-12853110-r2-deodexed-crtgpu/

I think possibly we've been thru this before, lol, but that ROM isn't the very latest... there has been a pretty big update since then that thus far is only available as an official OTA update package.
