I ran into a few problems getting back to stock until I remembered a minor detail from my HTC Hero days.
You need to download and install HTC Sync get it here install it.
Reboot your computer
make sure the phone is NOT in USB debug mode and is in charge only mode.
the proper drivers will install. you'll know it's done right if you see ADB pop up as one of the drivers installed. You'll see a warning that HTC sync isn't detecting your phone and that's ok.
Then run the RUU exe all should work fine.
Get the RUU exe from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224 This is FROYO
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959 This one is Gingerbread
Didn't realize debugging had to be disabled.

RUU? Where do I find that?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952224
So even if I've tried going through the rooting process and it didn't work, this will basically put the phone back the way it was before I started that process?

Good sir I can not thank you enough for helping me get my phone back. i don't even mind all the bloatware now. Too bad I can't use the thanks button more than once. I really appreciate it.
Happy to be of service. I can't dev my way out of a paper bag, well I've never tried, but I can share what I do know.
I tried to run the RUU but it failed twice. Both times it would get about 70% finished and it would stop with an Error 110 which says that a file is either open or corrupted. Then it tells you to download the RUU again and run it again, which I did but got the same results. I downloaded it with the anti virus and firewall turned off. Is there another site to download the file from?

Either flash a different rom via Clockwork Mod or run the RUU. If you choose the RUU, be sure HTC Sync is installed, USB Debugging is checked and Fastboot is unchecked.
Thank you! It works!
Just used this thread to get my Inspire back to stock before taking it back for a refund and cancelling service. Decided to go with the HTC Evo3d from Sprint. This method worked returning the phone back to the latest (Gingerbread) and unrooted it from Cyanogen (CM7) ROM. Thanks a ton for sharing your wisdom!
Baffling Issues.
Hey, I have a question. When running this RUU update (downgrade) it gives me this: Error 140: Bootloader version error. Its agravating. I'd love to go back to froyo... I really can't use GB because it blocks tethering. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I take it you're not S-OFF? HTC (and probably others) decided they didn't want users reverting to older versions. You'll have to root, get S-OFF, before you can revert, but if you're rooted, you might as well just use the new andTether from google code:

Just found out at Best Buy that my phone is crap. The memory is out and I have no apps installed, my HD card is empty except for the standard stuff, and I get error that I need to free up memory or something like that. Guy told me to UNroot my phone and call AT&T.
So, this thread is all I need to do that???? Can it really be this easy????

Nice to see you around again gunny
EDIT: Wrong category, sorry. I'm new.
Rooted Aria/Liberty won't turn on if it's plugged in (wall charger or USB). The orange charging light is on and the screen is lit but black. The menu buttons do not turn on. I have to remove the battery after unplugging it for it to turn on.
The phone is rooted and the problem is consistent no matter what ROM I use. I believe it is a problem with the bootloader, but I'm not very advanced with these things.
I rooted the phone with Unrevoked and whenever I boot into recovery mode it says "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4."
Any suggestions on how to make this problem go away? I know it's minor, but it is my mother's phone and every time I'm on the phone with her she complains about it.
The only way to fix a bootloader issue like this is to reflash the stock one, which you can accomplish by sourcing an HTC RUU (ROM Update Utility) for your Aria. This will flash everything back to stock so you'll lose everything, but it will fix these issues that tend to pop up occasionally
Good luck!

I just did this and the problem is still occuring. I used the RUU on HTC's website that was the upgrade to 2.2. The process went without a hitch, but it did not do anything except change to the stock Froyo ROM. I checked and it was still Revolutionary's bootloader and the same HBOOT (6.02.1002).
I believe I read that Revolutionary is a protected bootloader and fairly difficult to remove, but I'm not sure. I've been researching this for 11 hours now. I've read a lot. >.< I'm up for a challenge, though, so if you or anyone else have instructions/link on how to replace it, I'll try.

I followed that and the only thing it did was change the top of the bootloader screen from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev Unlock." The hboot is still the same. The problem is still happening.
Is there a way to downgrade my hboot even though it is protected? Heck, I can't even turn S-ON because of that.
NOTE: The major problem I'm running into with all the forum posts I find is that they used megaupload to host their downloads and those links no longer work.

I used fastboot to flash the recovery and now it does the normal battery image when the phone is off and charging.

Hey everyone,
I am looking to start an unbricking project, to help people that are bricked with QHSUSB_DLOAD message, seeing if the Sensation method will work, just with a One S HBOOT file instead of the Sensation HBOOT one.
So I'd like to ask if anyone knows where I can find the HBOOT.nb0 files starting from 1.06 to 1.13? If you have them, could you please upload any that you may have.
Thanks,

SuperCID is when you changed the CID on your phone to 1111111 when/if you tried to root your phone. Here's a brief explanation by another XDA poster.
gol_n_dal said:
Certain things, e.g. RUUs, need to have the correct Carrier ID on the phone in order to install via the bootloader or recovery using the PG58IMG.zip process. The Latest Firmware packs for example are grouped together into sets, this is to allow you to install them if you don't have SuperCID. If you have got SuperCID you can install any of them as all the CID checks pass.
Another reason to change the CID if to allow you to install a generic RUU instead of the one that came with the phone, this allows you to remove the bloatware. For example I'm on Vodafone and I installed the generic Euro RUU purely to get rig of the Vodafone crap that came pre-installed.
The process to change it back is identical to the way you write the SuperCID just using your original CID (mine for example is VODAP001). IIRC HTC__01 is the generic CID

Unfortunately, I am on the same boat you are, I did not change my CID from 1's back to it's original and the update bricked my phone. It own't power on or boot into anything, I'm crossing my fingers that the AT&T store will believe me when I say "I don't know what happened, can you fix it?" and give me a new phone.

It is not known if super-cid causes issues with doing an OTA! I have super-cid and s-off, and I applied the AT&T OTA without any problems after using the 2.20 RUU to go back to stock. It may be that super-cid causes issues if you are not s-off, but I don't think anyone really knows if it is definitely the presence of the super-cid that is causing the problems. It could be, but given that some people don't have any problems, it could be anything.

S-off is precisely the reason you didn't brick. S-off by definition means that all security checks are bypassed, including CID check.

If you were S-Off and SuperCID then the OTA should not affect you.
But. WHY are people wanting the stock OTA? It's causing issues because some people don't know if it's going to brick their phones. Please just wait until custom ROMs come based on the OTA. It's much much much easier

The guy at the service station didn't really ask me anything other than "what's wrong with your phone?" and I replied "it's not turning on." he said ok and plugged it into his machines and said he was going to run some tests and to take a seat. Five minutes later he said it's not turning on and he's going to replace it, I asked him what could've happen and he gave a few examples (including third party roms, etc) but that it could have been anything from a corrupt file to dropping it on the floor.

For me personally, I couldn't get most of the ROM's to work properly, if at all. I kept getting errors like " com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" or something similar and I'd have no phone service (for example) which is why I went back to stock.

Hey guys, need your help! I updated my AT&T One X using this manual method:

And now my phone is not even turning on. Its completely dead. Can't go into download mode or recovery mode! Volumes keys and power key not working. Please help!
Thanks ahead!
Was the phone completely stock, or was it previously SuperCID, rooted, etc?
No, I had rooted it previously and then unrooted it back because I couldn't go into the recovery mode then. Yes I was on stock!
If your phone is the AT&T version and you were rooted, you must have had SuperCID.
SuperCID + 3.18 RUU = brick (unless you are also s-off).
Sorry to say, you are now bricked. You missed my warning at the top of the General forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

Plug your phone into your computer and see what comes up in Device Manager. If you see QHUSB_DLOAD, you're bricked. The JET tool might help you, otherwise it's jtag.
im bricked i guess, this blows, wonder what went wrong ive flashed that kernel before it went fine

Make a linux boot disk/flash drive. It's easy.
ive gotta get a usb stick the dvd player isnt working, about how hard is it to set it all up and do, will i be up all night or is it a quick set up and job
I have tried connecting it to my PC and it says QHUSB_DLOAD in the device manager, what do I do? Can I fix it all on my own?
Sorry my friend but you're bricked. Sounds like you'll need a jtag repair to me.

ive got same problem but ive been suggested to try the jet tool too bad i dont have a clue as to what im doin with ubuntu
ive decided to create a guide for prepping an ubuntu usb stick for noobs to try unbricking. ill have it up within a few minutes to an hour depending on how many distractions occur. I will link here when I am done.
