I've gotten totally accustomed to flashing on Samsung devices..
Currently have AT&T One X
- Rooted
- Bootloader Unlocked
- Running CleanRom 1.0
- Build Number 1.88.707.2
I'd like to get it back to just a rooted AT&T stock version so that I can make my own adjustments. I'm a bit confused as to the easiest way to do this.

Someone would have to make a rooted stock from. Unless you want to go back to 1.73 which you would get the bugs it had. If you did that would require a firmware downgrade. There is a thread in dev section. Have you tried updating to cleanrom 2.5.5 the most recent version with tons of fixes and such.

if you haven't flashed something else or found this already, this link is to a stock, CWM ready version of the 1.85.502.3 RUU. read the OP first, because this version is NOT rooted.
You presumably already have SuperCID if you have bootloader unlocked. All you have to do is:
1) Relock bootloader
2) Run whatever RUU you want
3) Unlock bootloader again
4) Install CWM
5) Root via One click for 1.73 or 1.82, or install SuperSU via CWM for 1.85.
The pre-rooted deodexed 1.85 version posted in the response above is also a good approach (install via CWM). But its not fully stock, as in its deodexed. But if you want to install mods, this is a good thing anyway, since many of them require deodex. You also don't need to mess with relocking and unlocking the BL again. But its not clear what you want to do, if you want to return to the original shipped 1.73 firmware or not.

THIS IS FOR UNBRANDED 401 PHONES ONLY! IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT TRY...
Update 2011/08/14
Added more information and details
Renamed thread into GUIDE
Using this guide will reset your device into a vanilla 2.3.4 HTC Sensation phone. Your SD-Card wont be touched and you will have S-OFF and root. This will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader. I tested these steps and i have a 2.3.4 401 Sensation with Locked HBOOT, S-OFF and root.
If you want S-OFF & ROOT on the latest HTC 2.3.4 ROM follow the steps:
1) Backup
2) Get S-OFF on 2.3.3 (Guide Thread)
3) Recover your phone with original 2.3.3 Update
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc03797/n/RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed.exe
4) Update to 2.3.4 via "Over The Air" (OTA) or using OpenRecovery (OR). I did not use the OR-Method but you can find a lot of information about here. I do not advertise any guides for the OR-method since i did not test them myself.
4) Execute step 2.1 to 2.6 from the Sensation Guide (Guide Thread)
5) Get root again: Sensation Guide 3.1 to 3.12 (Guide Thread)
Have fun!

The 2.3.4 update include an new hboot Version 1.18...
Are u sure that u can install cwm and root the phone again after applying the update?
I think u will be s-on again after the hboot get changed...
Everything I'm reading (the two other threads about this update) says the above method will NOT work. I don't think the OP even tried. Wait for a real dev to cook this up.

Oh boy Some of use knew this was gonna happen
do not flash this to a stock rooted rom - it will **** it up - wait for your favourite dev to update their rom
flashing this will give you the new locked htc bootloader and you will not be s-off anymore (even though it still says you are)
it's taken me nearly 3 hours to get back to normal

Backup with Titanium
Reflash with 2.3.3 stock ROM (my Sensation was already S-Off)
OTA update to 2.3.4
ClockWork Recovery
Root
Restore with Titanium
Reboot and that's it
No OTA
I did exactly like shown in the first post, but i wont get the update ota. It sais that my phone is actually actual.
Could I have done something wrong?
Got the Sensation from T-mobile -> debrandet it like this:

Thanks
done as suggested - works fine for me!
I was off this weekend.
I posted this howto cause i did it with my phone. Whyever would i post a guide when it does not work?!

no - i did not try to.
I am pretty happy with my phone right now. Fast and long battery pack - replaced Sense with LP.
When testing the early (pre-soff) custom roms and test recoverys I had to flash stock RUUs a couple of times.
To get the phone back into a decent state I needed to pg58 flash eng&unsecured boot then root and fastboot recovery.
Can't for the life of me think why anyone would s-off their phone then install stock/ota for any reason (bar repair). It's like buying a track day race car, shouting "look what I've got" then pushing it around rather than thrashing it.

If you just flash the new hboot, it will say lock at the top of the bootloader screen. But you should be able to flash eng hboot, cause I just tried it.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed the hboot from the OTA before flashing it so couldn't confirm for myself. There's been a lot of conflicting information about whether phones are still S-OFF after running the unmodified OTA but it appears that they are. I only ran the RUU then OTA so I could have a backup of a stock 1.45 system.img.

There are a few how-to's here on the forum that have already been posted but I'll say it quickly..
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and you have superCID
You can then download the new RUU and install it.. (will wipe your phone so back up, also download the leaked RUU from the dev section NOT the OTA)
Unlock bootloader again..
Now install your recovery of choice (CWM or TeamWin)
Push super SU to phone for root
Now install the ROM of your choice!
(I did this by quick memory so I might have summarized a bit)
And I will still have root? Does me being on 1.73 pose an issue?
Sent from my HTC One X
Yes. You will have root after flashing any of the custom ROM.
1. One click root to root your phone.
2. Unlock bootloader and supercid from htcdev.com
3. Install cmw or twrp
4. Flash any custom Rom with os ver 1.82 or 1.85
5. Flash radio 1.85 or 1.88 if needed.
Welcome to flashing Rom addict club.
Here's a true tethering unlock for AT&T 1.85 based ROMs(should work on 1.73 also). This mod makes a change in the framework so the OS doesn't think it's a AT&T ROM anymore, so there are no checks for tethering like non AT&T versions and this will also revert your network icons to 3G & H instead of always having 4G displayed(side effect of the mod). I included odex'd and deodex'd version with revert versions just in case anymore wants to remove this mod.
Thanks. Do you know how I can tell if my ROM is deodexed or not?

Flashed the 1.85 Unlock hack to my stock ATT one X on 1.85 and I had to RUU to get it working again. Wrong file?
I don't have cwm or the other thing to flash the unlock. I know where to put the ext.odex but where do I put the other folder (meta-inf) contents?
Ok, so i unlocked my BL and then I installed CWM, then flashed the hotspot unlock, then reboot, now my phone wont start up and is stuck on the HTC screen. Unfortunatly I did not have any roms on my sdcard and now i'm stuck. I tried using the 1.85 ruu but i get an error and it wont work. I don't know how to use adb. Can anyone please help me out? it's the weekend for goodness sake! I can't be stuck without a phone!
Relock your bootloader with fastboot oem lock. Then you can flash the ruu.

Don't forget he has to reinstall stock recovery first. Wipe data and cache is a good think to try before resorting to all of that.

Me neither and I've done it 5 or 6 times already. I had cwm but I really don't think it matters. The RUU puts the stock recovery back on. All you need to do to be able to run the RUU is re-lock your bootloader.
I managed to install the stock 1.85 ruu but now i don't have root
I tried the one click method that's in the dev section but i was not able to successfully get the su installed i tried 4 times. Maybe because I'm not using an at&t SIM? Oh well, i guess I'll have to stick without root until there's an easier one click. I really wanted to try cleanrom.

Just unlock your bootloader again through adb, flash CWM or TWRP and then flash CleanROM. No need to root 1.85.

It's there an easy way of doing the bl unlock like the supercid, something like a one click? I'm still a new comer when it comes to adb and all that hex stuff. I saw the thread about unlocking thru htcdev but it seems too complicated and I'm scared i might brick something.
Should i try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675312 ?

Hi this is my first android phone, so I want to make sure I do this right.
Do I need to relock my bootloader after unlocking it to run 1.85 ruu?
If yes what am I actually upgrading in this step? If not, I can just flash 4.0.4/2.20 clean rom 4.5 after I have unlocked the bootloader?
Would the steps be like this?
1. 1 click change CID
2. Unlock from HTCdev
3. Flash TWRP recovery
4. Flash ROM?
Thanks!
Yep. If you're rooted then you have the right procedure. Skip 1.85
I believe that the only things that remain untouched by rooting, unlocking, and loading a custom rom are the radio (need to flash separately) and hboot (untouchable until we get s-off). (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.)
I RUU'd to 1.82 when I unlocked but haven't done anything else since.
The newest roms incorporate the latest software versions. You don't want to update hboot to the latest version because they've change the security.
Thanks.
Should I flash the newer radio too? I can't seem to find it.

Radios are here:

I would start with the one that matches your rom. You may feel like experimenting with others, as people have reported different results with different combinations. I am using the 2.20 radio with a 2.23-based rom.
So i used the method of boot loader unlock 2.20 which changes the CID to 1111111 so I can unlock the bootloader right, my question is how do I get back to stock AT&T ICS(My one X came with ICS)?
My Hboot Version: 1.14
Current ROM: Cyanogen mod 10.1
Original ROM: Stock AT&T ICS Build 2.20
Boot-loader: Unlocked
Just flash the stock rooted ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Just remember to S-OFF if you intend to take the OTA if you're not S-OFF already or you will brick.

But why would you want to do that? Root lets you do more, and unrooting just takes away those benefits. You're doing extra steps to get a phone that is less capable. The only good reasons to go back to stock:
- Return for warranty service
- To install the OTA (you need to S-off, otherwise SuperCID will cause a brick) for the purpose of upgrading the "extra" firmware not included in the ROM itself
