Hello!
At first....sorry for my english ^^
I am using my HTC Desire S now since 2 months and I'm very unhappy with it because of the bad batterie coverage of it.
Since I've rooted my phone and installed another ROM on it i can only use my phone for about 1 day.
What I am going to do now is to uninstall the ROM (has been installed by the app "ROM Manager") and ClockworkRecovery-Mod and then I will remove the root.
Is it possible to recover the original stock ROM on any way?
I did no Nandroid backup.
The phone is standard S-OFF, I will not lose it during the processes.
Can anybody help me to do this?
Thanx - Börni
Have you taken a look at this page:

Find your ROM among these, run the RUU, and you will be back to stock conditions(NO root and back to S-ON).
Also, if you want you S-off back, you could use the revolutionary tool from here:
http://revolutionary.io/
What happens if you load up the stock rom from a backup and format the phone?

Well, thanks!
Will it be back at S-OFF or on S-ON when I've finished the installaiton of this ROM?
Greetings!

I do not understand how you can take a nandroid backup of an un-rooted stock ROM?

After running the RUU? You should be back to stock conditions with S-ON.
You can use the revolutionary tool to gain S-OFF again.
ok, thanks for your quick replay!
I will try it out.
Just remove the su binary

Ok so imnot really enjoying my experience of rooting so far and want to go back.
As soon as I rooted I made a backup using ROM manager then flashed to LBC Mod. If I want to go back to that backup do I need to go back to my original ROM or can I just restore from that backup from the new ROM I flashed?
Hmm I have ask same type of thread and waiting for repy :/

1) If I understand correctly you got S-off
2) then root
3) Then used Rom manager to perform a backup.
4) then you flashed LBC ROm
you know want to return to step 3) ?
You can either use ROM manager to restore the device to your previous backup or you could boot into recovery (CWM) and again use the restore option to restore your backup that you took earlier.

Yes it will.
Although, may I ask what you were not liking about the rooting experience and the LBC ROM?

what do you mean by update normally, android market or ota updates?
I'd personally avoid ota updates after getting soff and root.
And again can I ask what it was about the custom experience, that you didn't like?

I don't think there should be any problem doing an OTA update if you're on stock with root but you may loose root.
Well I bought this phone 2 monts ago and the it was in firmware version v10g_00 which is te latest till now.. so I have no expirience in updating, pluging in to comp and update it an so on...
so sorry if I looked so newbie
Anyway, yes it is about the ota update... where you choose the update notification and then update it via computer
and my question is can a backuped phone updates again like ... lets say updating it to gingerbread (that's what I'm facing)
Sorry for the interruption

How can we unroot without having to replace the system image?
Just an FYI to everyone, it's not root that will stop the OTA from updating on its own, it's a custom recovery. The OTA requires your phone to have the stock recovery. If you installed ClockworkMod Recovery, then you have to get back to stock using the RUU. That can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201773
If you only acheived S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool and never installed a custom recovery, then you can go ahead and apply the OTA update and not worry about losing S-OFF. You can then load a custom recovery and gain root access by following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16808547
I hope this helps out anyone that has questions.
And I know this process works, because I had to do it to apply the update.

Thanks. That's what I had thought. How do I backup SMS/MMS with Titanium Backup? Also, does it restore the MMS attachments?
I have now flashed the stock recovery. The OTA boots in to the stock recovery and begins installing, however it gets about halfway and then stops with a red triangle and exclamation mark displaying on the screen.

I got it to work by doing a nandroid restore back to a point before I rooted. Going to now try and restore the data.img from a more recent nandroid backup.
EDIT: The restore of data.img worked. So just to recap; I flashed back to a nandroid backup I took before I had rooted so that I had my ROM in an unrooted state. Then I flashed a stock recovery. Once I had done this, the OTA update applied without any problems. I then flashed CWM recovery and restored data.img from a recent backup. Doing this has restored all of my SMS/MMS, Apps+Data.

I ran the RUU and did the update and it worked. Then I used your method of flashing CWM recovery and restoring data.img from a recent backup. Worked like a charm! Thanks. Now just gotta do the boot animations over again.
My phone has been rooted using the old-school method. I've made a nandroid backup.
Can I follow the unroot guide to get stock everything, take it to the store, then use revolutionary to root it again, then restore the nandroid which was made on my phone with normal s-off? Or do I need to do the oldschool method before restoring the nandroid?

I would use this Tbolt tool to unroot it and make sure your on the .19 radio combo. That's the latest firmware radio. And use this tool to root it again and then you should be able to flash nandroid backup again believe. Here's the link to the TBolt tool

Thanks a lot! So after putting .19 radios on, all I need to do is use this too to 1) unroot and 2) put on some old OTA rom?

How do I do that? My device - s3 HTC one s- is relocked and unrooted since I flashed a stock RUU.
Thanks

You dont need to be rooted, but you do need a custom recovery. And in order to flash a custom recovery you need to be unlocked. You _could_ relock afterwards but there is really no point if you keep your custom recovery to make nandroids.
You could try an adb backup, but it is extremely unstable etc.

I really need help here guys. I am rooting my friends HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and I think i might have broken the OS.
I can still get into recovery mode and flash, but my ROMs crash as soon as I boot. The phone even runs into a boot loop sometimes depending on which ROM. Can anybody guide me to bring the phone back to stock? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I rooted the phone, installed supersu (fine up until now) .. Created a backup via CWM and tried to flash Cyanogen mod. I realized it failed and so i went back to wipe (factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache) and went to restore my backup. The back up passes but is not 100% working due to some missing files in the system. I am also running HBOOT - 1.17.1111

Hi,
I gave you a GB ROM to flash.
That should get your phone running again.
Then, I gave you a link to a guide which will install 4 EXT recovery,update your firmware and radio,and install ARHD ICS ROM.
Please read the link carefully,and follow it to the letter.

I tried that, and it failed on me. It bootloops on the HTC logo now. I need to return this phone to my friend by tomorrow.
I don't know if this is too much to ask, but would anybody mind assisting me through a google hangouts video chat? I could do it tomorrow at about 4PM. I really need to get this fixed.... Like bad.
