Yes it'll revert your phone back to original stock out of the box.
You'll still be S-OFF, but it shouldn't matter, most of store employees are too stupid to know what that is, let alone even check it, or know how to check it.

Same problem with me, but i want to ask you if i need to run the SUPERCID/adb before running the RUU.exe or I can just run the RUU.exe file to revert to stock out of the box Tmous rom. Thanks

You don't need SUPERCID if you're flashing the correct RUU the phone.

SUPER CID is needed if you're going to use an RUU from another region.

Hi All,
I'm about to root and flash a new ROM onto my HTC Sensation but before I do so, I want to have a backup of the stock ROM in case I need to take the phone in for a repair.
I'm looking for the Vodafone Australia HTC Sensation stock ROM but can't find it!
Does anyone have one which they could send me a link to?
Or, is there a way which I can make a backup of the stock ROM from my phone?
Thanks!
EDIT: just to clarify, I've tried searching for the RUU but there don't seem to be any for Vodafone AUS. So is there anyway to backup the stock? Thanks! (I'm not exactly a newbie at rooting/flashing, just never had to worry about backing up for warranty purposes before)
i was wondering the same thing! cant find the ruu! hope someone can guide us to restore without a RUU
or some method gets invented

Im bad at posting links. Head over to sensation android development section. Find the roms collection thread and it should have plenty of choices stock and custom.

Not sure if it helps, there are many of RUU in shipped-roms.com, Sensation related ROMs are in http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid
@tingtan Thanks for the link. I'm not sure which one the Vodafone AUS one is. Is there anyway that you or someone else could match it for me? Here is a screenshot of the software info for my phone. Thanks!

hey did you find a way to do it?
People, before you flash a new rom you need to make a nandroid back up! In case you need to restore your phone for what ever reason.....
This is also done in clockworkmod recovery.....
Hit the backup/restore button and you are good to go.
If you look at the step by step install protocols in the tread of your choosen rom, one of the first steps is DO A NONDROIDBACKUP....
Goodluck!

you cant S-on without a RUU though? thats what the guide says?
If you do restore,you are unrooted.... But be careful restoring s-on, its more riskie than requiring s-of! Read the threads regarding this proces and do what it says every step!

You'll need to have stock recovery and bootloader, which a nandroid backup doesn't save. And only an RUU, AFAIK will give you those.

Here is a link to an Australian Vodafone stock RUU, I note yours is a slightly newer version than this RUU, however I would expect this would be fine if you need to go back to stock.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c13...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220002_signed.exe (thanks to Football)
BTW you either need your stock RUU or you need to have backed up stock recovery and Hboot before rooting (via temp root) because these are overwritten in the revolutionary s-off and custom recovery installation process. A nandroid backup is important but it won't take you back to stock.
For a short time I've got the RUU in my dropbox, it might be a bit quicker and less ads! http://is.gd/Vaq45l

well if you don't want to install ics custom rom you don't have to but if you want you have anyway there are ics fw that can be installed without supercid but imo it is better to supercid

yes man before getting the ota you MUST flash the stock htc RUU which you can find in the development forum
Almost everyone does SuperCID after rooting.
After Rooting, I didn't though. I just S-Offed. A week later, I realized I had to SuperCID to get some ROMs to work. So I did it and never regretted.
Go for it.

I have updated the fw and I'm running Virtuous Inquisition ICS rom, no problems?
I really don't understand why you'd want to change the CID or how it affects ROMS
You don't have to supercid, but it might be handy at some point. It will allow you to flash any ruu shall you ever need it.

There are no downsides. I did it as soon as I got my Sensation.

I think I saved me a super headache when I got stuck in a bootloop from flasing a ICS the wrong way whatever I did wrong I was able to find a stock RUU in no time thanks y'all.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
if your not branded,
you will almost never have to supercid for a custom rom to install.
but for example if a firmware update is mandatory, you might depending on your cid/mid.
i own a xe device and never supercid it, can install anything without problems. (dont always) believe what people say, but always check the description on the base of your own cid/mid yourself.
that said,it cant hurt to supercid, but if its not mandatory why?
+1 Me too
+1 I've supercid as well, changed a few times back to orginal CID because of warranty without problem.
Anyone has any idea how to find out which RUU my phone is using? I bought mine in SG and downloaded the Asia WWE version but it doesn't work.
Go into Settings>About Phone>Software Information>The place where it says the Software number is your RUU. Eg. 3.2.401.105 or 1.73.401.5.
hey I have a stock sensation, not xe nor tmo,
its s-off, latest hboot,base etc2,running elegancia rom ics
what ruu should i use to return to stock? the easiest and safest way?i have network concerns and maybe a stock ruu could fix it

If there is one. This is yet another example of why guides to root should also highlight the importance of making notes of everything before changing anything. For the OP, you're pretty much screwed so just pick a generic RUU and use it

Hi,
All I know is that it is very close to stock.
I have never tried it myself.
It will not hurt to try it for yourself.
You can of course flash an RUU of your region and carrier.
This will return your entire phone(including recovery) back to stock.
It will leave you s-0ff.

No, if you still want s-off and root you are better off flashing one of the stock roms.
With ruu you will lose root, custom recovery and other goodies.

if you are S-ON you have to use a ruu with the same firmware as yours or higher one
otherwise flash another rom from recovery

ruu works independently of the rom you are using
but i saw you opened a new thread where you are saying that you want to send it for repair
