I have searched, google searched and have found no Definite answer. I need to unroot my friends mytouch 4g. She dropped it on the corner, now the power button does not work I obviously need to flash Hboot but not possible with the power button. Any other way to do this?
Thanks in advance

If it was rooted with gfree - first run gfree again to return to S-ON. Directions in gfree ("Ultimate S-OFF") thread.
Then just download and flash the stock RUU (.exe file for Windows). It'll wipe everything clean and return to bone stock.
where do I find the stock RUU (.exe file for Windows) file?

OK I know there is a forum about this but I would like one straight forward answer...if I flash my stock RUU. Will everything go back to normal (no root CWM S-on) because I need to return this phone back to T-Mobile for an exchange

You have to install the Stock RUU, you can find it in the Development forum.
A guide for that is here:

Yeah, i think so.
1. Wipe Everything
2. Flash Stock ROM
3. Manually S-ON
4. => Stock Phone
Did you super CID your phone. You will have to change that as well. Quick guide is:
Download terminal from market (Free)
Type in getprop ro.cid - this will give you your orgional CID
Then Change SID
Downlaod rom and use RUU to install rom
Manually S-on
Stock phone.
I supercid ed when I rooted my phone

Here is another Guide to help you unroot and go back to a stock rom. http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/
same kind of problem
Hi,
early i succesfully unroot my htc sensation to stock rom.
than i rooted it again, now i wanna go back to stock rom and i wiped my sd card, so i don't have a backup.
the same RUU i had used before won't work now.
how can i fix this problem?
thnQ
I think that you would have to find a RUU that matches your phone now, have you tried several RUU's for your CID?
Hi guys!
Sorry another n00b question but just wanted to make sure...
So I am one of those that got tired to waiting for the OTA and finally decided, at least for now, to try one of the ICS ROMs. I've done some on GB so I'm vaguely familiar with flashing and all that but since it's my first time with ICS I'd like to ask you experts out there.
Basically I just want to make sure that if/when TMo finally pushes out the "official OTA", I can give that a try also. I guess my fear is that I've been reading how it's difficult...or impossible?...to go back to stock since I have to flash my firmware.
Can you go back to 100% Stock TMo GB from ICS?
I currently have already S-Off, root (superuser), and S Cid to 11111111 in preparation. I figure while I wait for TMo, at the very least, I can run my phone rooted to let apps like AutoKiller Memory help my phone run better. I also did a backup using 4EXT.
My next step is to take the plunge but before I do, I'd like to know that I can go 100% back. I've done it with GB ROMs but wasn't sure about ICS because of the whole firmware thing.
Can someone LMK if it should be no problem? Much appreciated for guiding a n00b like me! You guys are awesome!!!
It's not hard...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21989089&postcount=2
This is how I do it:
1. Place firmware on root of sdcard.
2. Use 4ext recovery control to reboot to recovery (power menu).
3. Restore my stock nand from 4ext recovery.
4. Use 4ext recovery to reboot into bootloader (power menu).
5. Select "bootloader" from fastboot menu and let hboot detect the firmware. (volume up for "yes")
6. Let it complete and press power to reboot when prompted...
All my roms, nands, firmwares, radios, etc... are backed up on my sdcard. As long as I've got a good charge on the battery I can go back and forth between BG and ICS multiple times without ever connecting to a PC or pulling my battery...
If you don't have a nand of your stock rom then just flash the 1.50.531.1RUU... And restore your CID.
Thanks for the info GROGG88! So this will restore my firmware too? So basically using the RUU should get me back to full stock including the firmware? Or do I need to downgrade the firmware manually first?
Also noticed that in the link you gave, it has Hboot 1.17. Does it matter that my original is 1.18?
Again apologies for new n00b questions! Thanks for all your help!!!
If you go by the guide in the link I posted then you'll be able to restore a stock nand if you have one. After that you can flash 1.18 hboot and stock recovery.
The easiest way would be to flash the RUU which will put EVERYTHING back to stock including firmware, but you'll keep s-off (which is good).
It really depends on whether or not you backed up an unmodified version of your stock GB...
I'm going to post download links for the 1.50.531.1 RUU and a PG58IMG.zip version of it in the General section. You can use the PG58IMG.zip to restore individual components by extracting the files, removing whatever you don't want, and archiving the files you do want back into a zip...

Thanks GROGG88!
Also wanted to ask...I know you mentioned that after the procedures I will have everything stock but still with S-Off. Do you know if I can receive OTA with S-Off or will I have to adb and make it S-On again making the phone COMPLETELY stock.
Thanks again for all your help! I might have to follow these procedures sooner than I thought with the latest announcement about the OTA ICS!

Sorry another related question...why is it good to keep s-off? Advantage?
Sorry again for all the questions! Hoping to expand my knowledge!

You can use the OTA with s-off. You want to keep s-off so that you can flash a custom recovery and re-root after the update. You can s-off the new bootloader, but it involves a new procedure that involves jumping a wire from a terminal to ground that many are not comfortable with.
It is much better to keep s-off...

Good to know! Thanks! So the new procedure requires you to do something physical to your phone? That sounds just wrong...I guess they really don't want s-off, huh?
I'll definitely keep s-off so I won't have to jump through these hoops!!!
The only thing I've done to my amaze is I unlocked the bootloader a few months back. I am on s-on, UN-rooted and I was wondering if there was a way to get my phone back to stock(GB) so I can get the ota ICS. I, being a noob, do not know if the other threads relate to me when they tell me to flash the stock ruu and do that whole procedure as I am not rooted. Again, I am fairly new at this so please be nice. Do i just use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit and flash the stock recovery and I'm set?
Firstly thanks to everyone who give their time to help
My tech skills are useless, all these terms s-off, s-on, roms etc
is above my pay grade, my brain is fried i am jumping from thread to thread
trying to fix my wifi issue and it's driving me dilly.
I am on Android 4.0.3 - Sense 3.6, phone is rooted HTC-Dev and Flashed 4EXT.
I have been trying to fix the WiFi issue but im getting nowhere, i give up.
Can i revert back to Gingerbread?
Is there a step by step guide?
Help Appreciated
Thanks
1st: are you s-on or s.off?
If you are s-off you can extract the rom.zip from the appropriate GB RUU (but you dont tell what is) then rename it PG58IMG. Put in the root of your sd card (not in a folder) and reboot the device while holding down volume+ power button.
PG58IMG willbe automatically recognized and start to do its things. Then you will be prompted if you want to upgrade. Say yes by pushing volume up.
Wait untill the entire process is done and prompted to reboot (it may reboot itself a couple of times during the process, just do nothing and wait).
At the end of process you will be back to GB and need to set the phone like new. You will lose all data and settings.
Hope it helps.
How do i know if i'm S-off or S-on?
Used HTCDev to unlock bootloader then flashed 4EXT and something called
CWM-SuperSU-v0.96?
Thanks
This is the method i used:

Good day my dear friends,
Boring Intro------
Yesterday I was trying to root my wife's HTC Sensation which I upgraded to Official Middle East ICS 4.0.3 hboot 1.27.000 and I found this way by pure luck-----
I installed CMW and did the rooting while the device is S-ON
I'm not sure if this is a new method or was done before but I thought I'd share it to return some of your favors in this great forum.
I need to thank Mr.hasoon2000 because we will use his tol from the HTC One X forum.
Requirements:
1. Download the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 from this link, Thanks Mr.hasoon2000 I hope you don't mind me using your tool here.
2. Download the latest CMW recovery , choose the latest for Pyramid (The Sensation) in *.img. Here is the CMW 5.8.0.9 link.
3. Download SuperSU 0.88.zip, thanks Mr.Chainfire or from this link [23.04.2012] SuperSU v0.88.
Step By Step Method:
1. Copy the SupperSU.zip file to your SD root.
2. Extract the HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit V1.0 to the Disktop.
3. Connect your Mobile and make sure you're in the charging mood and your check USB development or debugging option.
4. Run the One X.exe application.
5. Install the HTC drivers.
****If you unlocked your Sensation's bootloader from HTCdev.com then skip step 6 ****
6. Register in HTCdev.com website, choose Unlock Bootloader, choose your device and follow the instructions. ~This May Void your Warranty~
7. Rename the CWM recovery to CWM5827, then copy it to HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit folder/Data folder/recoveries and replace the one inside.
8. Flush the CWM recovery using the toolkit, horray you installed CWM.
9. From Commands choose Boot into recovery and from CWM flush the SuperSU.zip.
10. Congratulations, You're Now ROOTED .
Unthick fastboot from your phone (should be under settings-Battery) Then reboot phone while holding volume down + power buttons and read what the bootloader says.
Or pull out and reinsert battery, then power up the phone while holding down volume
remove battery from phone
Remove any memory card installed in phone
put battery back into phone
press volume down..
While pressing volume down
Press power button...
Continue pressing both Until you enter bootloader
You will see white screen, print lots of writing in different colored text, but the top line will say 's-on' or 's-off'

By the way I dont understand why you want to go back to GB. Once you are back you will be prompted to update to ICS again!.
Why dont you run directly a stock ICS RUU and see it it solves your issue?. In case you are S-On that would be the easiest way (the RUU).
If you want to go back to the way the phone was when you first got it, no root or anything, use an RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
That's everything you need to know. Basically run a program in Windows with the phone plugged in and it'll do all the work for you.
OK guys looks like i'm S-ON

No, if you are s-on the easiest way is to run the appropriate RUU.exe (still ICS not GB). But first you need to make some search and detect what is the right RUU for you according to your country, cid and mid.
When you will find it, just download the exe and, plug your phone to the pc and execute the RUU.exe
You cannot go back to GB as you are S-On.
RUU works for either the same software version or up not down.
I have a htc inspire 4g from at & t. I rooted it using ace hack kit and it was great.However,i was trying to root another inspire and made the mistake of rerooting my phone.Well half way threw the process the hack kit stopped and i made the mistake of wiping my data.So it was basically a break till i read up on what to do to bring it back.So i ran a stock att ruu on it and it returned it to a stock rom with 2.3.5 and sense 3.0 . But i lost root,my bootloader says locked and i had eng s-off but now i only have s-off.I lost superuser and cwm.Ive been told i could still reinstall cwm as long as i have s-off but it simply wont do it.i even tryed to run the hack kit again but it wont work.Someone told me to unlock the bootloader and then i will be able to flash cwm.But i am not sure.oh and i tryed to flash cwm but it says superuser was not found.i used rootfinder and it too says my phone is not rooted.could someone please help?I know i messed up too not reading the effen manuel but i.. .am new to all this and i panicked when my phone went black

That's 4ext recovery RC7.
Place it in the root of the sd card, reboot into hboot, follow the instructions. Once done, remove the file from the root or delete it.
If you prefer cwm recovery, you can get it from my signature in glevitan's guide in post#7.
After whichever one you choose, get the rom of your choice and flash normally or flash the supersu.zip which you can find in xda to get root access. (Edit: for some reason now I'm doubting if the supersu.zip will give you root access. Perhaps it's the lack of coffee.)
Sent from a dream.
If you are S-OFF you can run the option to install cwm recovery from the aahk. Once you do that, reboot into recovery and flash a rooted ROM.
