Please Help! Restore Nexus S. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I recently unlocked my bootloader, rooted my phone, and install a custom rom. I don't want to have any of this anymore and I want to restore my phone back to its stock OS. I've researched on the internet and everything I tried didn't work. Please help!

Did you try looking here?

I looked there. I can't find any posts about how to fix it.

1. There are stock Roms out there just Google it
2. You didnt make a NANDroid backup first?

[Q] How to remove custom rom?

Hi guys,
I installed the Android Revolution rom for my HTC Desire HD this morning, just to test it. Works great, but, I want to remove it and get back to my original HTC rom. However, when I try to restore the backup with the Rom Manager the phone will boot and get stuck at the HTC bootloader (the HTC image). Also I tried different options when I did a hard reset, but nothing seems to work.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Dirk
There have been some problems with the latest version of Clockworkmod recovery. If this is what you have been using it it may be worth trying a previous version of it and then trying your backup restore again.
Thnx for the reply!
I used Rom Manager for backup and restore. From the author Clockworkmod. Is that the same?
Why not flash a stock rom and push it to sdcard to flash?

I am looking for a stock but can't find it. I was hoping there was a nice way to just remove the custom rom and restore my old backup.
Look for instructions on how to flash Odin.
Odin is only for Samsung?

depends what you restore back to.
2.3.3 is the latest
Can't you just copy that 2.3.3 stock ROM zip file to SNS root and run through recovery?
Why would you go to 2.3.3 by choice? I'm dreading the day that it says i have an update.

it is wildfire s htc marvel canada bell
what did you use to back up your file? did you use a nandroid back up? if you want to get your rom back to official you can try to find a official rom on htc website or other website and try to flash it using ODIN.

You'll just have to reflash your original rom.

Go into clockwork mod and go to backup and restore then select restore then choose the backup it will have a date on it once you choose yes walk away for about 20 minutes and come back to restart your phone

find this file "recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ancora.tar.md5" and install it using odin so you can get back your recovery and reflash your nandroid back up, hope that can help get back your nandroid back up working if you have questions just ask
