Database Info

Ok, so I forgot to do a Nandroid backup and want my original ROM back. What now?

I tried custom Roms for the first time, and they totally ruined it for me. My touchscreen is kinda not as responsive as it used to be, both with insert coin and Revolution Rom.
So now I want my original Rom back. I only did a Titanium Backup. Since my phone was a branded one, I have no chance of getting the same ROM back, do I? I still have the 2.3.4. OTA update from my carrier though, but not previous versions.

Go to s off guide. Scroll down. read about flashing ruu

Bro I read your guide thoroughly. Problem is, I don't have the original ROM from my provider so I could flash it. Yes I can flah the european RUU but it will not be the same as from Swisscom (my prvodier). Installing the custom roms wiped my phone partition so no restore.
Or am I missing something here?
Edit: Ok nevermind, I just figured I actually did a clockwork backup image when I was doing the steps in your guide. So I hope restoring to that image will fix it for me. Thx for the hint though. And nice gudie btw, keep on the good work!

Clockwork back up is nandroid lol

PLEASEEEE try this rom before you revert back to stock, try out P3D Neon 4.1.
Best ROM I have used! I have tried leedroids, insertcoin's, and 3 other roms and this one has to be the best one.
If you're not into a ROM with eye-candy and such then nevermind, but it's the smoothest ROM IMO, has good battery life too.

I'm very much into eyecandy Well I might give it a shot...
You getting paid for advertising it or what

What is the file name of the OTA you have?

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.

Thanks for letting me know, I thought I need to do the supercid first before the RUU just like what the other thread is telling.

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

how many use super CID

I'm not familiar with super CID coming from the Mytouch4G, how many of you did it when you rooted? I'm rooting my Sensation 4G as I type this.

i did and you should do the same cause in the future will be very useful

I don't have to do it at this time right? I could always choose to do it later correct? The reason I ask is because I read that you would not be able to receive any OTA updates HTC pushes out.

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
edit: and if you supercid you can revert it back....however if you have rooted the phone you can't receive OTA, or better you can but it will brick your phone

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.

Always sper cid for safe side. If you change to supre cid will be very useful no need to worry.

I also did not super CID right away, but for a lot of ROM it is necessary so eventually I had to do it and never regreted it so far...

yup really helpful I did

I have done the supercid
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation

what exactly did I miss?
I have not needed supercid, I simply s-off'd and not needed any such thing.
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.
Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.

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

I bought my sensation pre rooted, I have latest firmware and am runnin a 4.0.3. Rom, so does this mean the guy used superCID or whatever
sent from my insertcoined T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G with Beats audio

Well I must say Im glad I went supercid
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.

[Q] Finding out RUU.

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

Nope. You will need a stock RUU to get back to stock unless you made a nandroid backup before installing a custom rom

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

THIS ONE is newer, faster and better on battery. Also includes rooting tools (to be flashed from recovery).
One malybru quoted is also good, but is GB, one i linked is ICS.
P.S. I'm using it at the moment and am very happy with it (rooted)

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.
BTW, if you have a look under our avatars you will see why we cannot be on T-Mobile US.

If you want stock ICS go with ARHD and never look back. If you want GB stock rooted flash the RUU from that stock builds thread and follow the guide to root.
