My phone has been rooted using the old-school method. I've made a nandroid backup.
Can I follow the unroot guide to get stock everything, take it to the store, then use revolutionary to root it again, then restore the nandroid which was made on my phone with normal s-off? Or do I need to do the oldschool method before restoring the nandroid?

I would use this Tbolt tool to unroot it and make sure your on the .19 radio combo. That's the latest firmware radio. And use this tool to root it again and then you should be able to flash nandroid backup again believe. Here's the link to the TBolt tool

Thanks a lot! So after putting .19 radios on, all I need to do is use this too to 1) unroot and 2) put on some old OTA rom?

Ok so imnot really enjoying my experience of rooting so far and want to go back.
As soon as I rooted I made a backup using ROM manager then flashed to LBC Mod. If I want to go back to that backup do I need to go back to my original ROM or can I just restore from that backup from the new ROM I flashed?
Hmm I have ask same type of thread and waiting for repy :/

1) If I understand correctly you got S-off
2) then root
3) Then used Rom manager to perform a backup.
4) then you flashed LBC ROm
you know want to return to step 3) ?
You can either use ROM manager to restore the device to your previous backup or you could boot into recovery (CWM) and again use the restore option to restore your backup that you took earlier.

I don't think there should be any problem doing an OTA update if you're on stock with root but you may loose root.
Well I bought this phone 2 monts ago and the it was in firmware version v10g_00 which is te latest till now.. so I have no expirience in updating, pluging in to comp and update it an so on...
so sorry if I looked so newbie
Anyway, yes it is about the ota update... where you choose the update notification and then update it via computer
and my question is can a backuped phone updates again like ... lets say updating it to gingerbread (that's what I'm facing)
Sorry for the interruption

How can we unroot without having to replace the system image?
Just an FYI to everyone, it's not root that will stop the OTA from updating on its own, it's a custom recovery. The OTA requires your phone to have the stock recovery. If you installed ClockworkMod Recovery, then you have to get back to stock using the RUU. That can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201773
If you only acheived S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool and never installed a custom recovery, then you can go ahead and apply the OTA update and not worry about losing S-OFF. You can then load a custom recovery and gain root access by following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16808547
I hope this helps out anyone that has questions.
And I know this process works, because I had to do it to apply the update.

I have now flashed the stock recovery. The OTA boots in to the stock recovery and begins installing, however it gets about halfway and then stops with a red triangle and exclamation mark displaying on the screen.

I got it to work by doing a nandroid restore back to a point before I rooted. Going to now try and restore the data.img from a more recent nandroid backup.
EDIT: The restore of data.img worked. So just to recap; I flashed back to a nandroid backup I took before I had rooted so that I had my ROM in an unrooted state. Then I flashed a stock recovery. Once I had done this, the OTA update applied without any problems. I then flashed CWM recovery and restored data.img from a recent backup. Doing this has restored all of my SMS/MMS, Apps+Data.

I ran the RUU and did the update and it worked. Then I used your method of flashing CWM recovery and restoring data.img from a recent backup. Worked like a charm! Thanks. Now just gotta do the boot animations over again.
Hello!
At first....sorry for my english ^^
I am using my HTC Desire S now since 2 months and I'm very unhappy with it because of the bad batterie coverage of it.
Since I've rooted my phone and installed another ROM on it i can only use my phone for about 1 day.
What I am going to do now is to uninstall the ROM (has been installed by the app "ROM Manager") and ClockworkRecovery-Mod and then I will remove the root.
Is it possible to recover the original stock ROM on any way?
I did no Nandroid backup.
The phone is standard S-OFF, I will not lose it during the processes.
Can anybody help me to do this?
Thanx - Börni
Have you taken a look at this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
Find your ROM among these, run the RUU, and you will be back to stock conditions(NO root and back to S-ON).
Also, if you want you S-off back, you could use the revolutionary tool from here:
http://revolutionary.io/
What happens if you load up the stock rom from a backup and format the phone?

Well, thanks!
Will it be back at S-OFF or on S-ON when I've finished the installaiton of this ROM?

After running the RUU? You should be back to stock conditions with S-ON.
You can use the revolutionary tool to gain S-OFF again.
ok, thanks for your quick replay!
I will try it out.
Just remove the su binary

Hi
First of all, I have an HTC Inspire 4G and I have a friend that also have the HTC Inspire 4G. He installed a lot of ROMs in your HTC. The point is that he want to return to the stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.3) but he didn't backup your phone to restore them with the stock ROM. I installed some ROMs in my HTC, but before that, I realized a backup of my phone with the ROM Manager and ClockworkMod, later I restore the backup to return to the stock ROM. So my question is, can he use my backup to restore your phone with the stock ROM?
I hope that you can help me.
Thank you,

USE ONLY IF ROOTED!!! Place in root of SD Card (Not in any folder) install by powering up into hboot with power button and volume down at same time. Let it do its thing volume up for yes top install when asked. Let it do its thing then reboot when asked.
You wont lose root.

If you want to get rid of root use Ace Hack Kit. (Instead)

Granted, my firmware is still vulnerable and my recovery partition still has CWM on it. Advice how to install the latest official update on top of a rooted HTC Inspire 4g would be appreciated

Flash this rooted version....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461
Can any one tell me what i did wrong?
I used a I727UCALC4_OneClick package to flash my at&t i727 to android 4.0.3. For some reason my home button and search button did not work so i said to return back to stock.
I flashed the phone with SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane thru ODIN to return to stock 2.3.5 . I then tried to do a OTA update to 2.3.6. The update downloads and starts installing , reboots the phone and fails to finish.
Any help please ? Thanks
I tried doing this myself last night. Remember you will lose your root once taking it to 2.3.5, so re root using Odin, then, reboot. Then follow the root instructions as outlined by user k0nane here at xda. Then get into clockwork mod recovery mode and restore to the backup version you did of 2.3.6...much easier process than trying to flash stock. Hope that helps.

You might have renamed the backup, the backup might be corrupt, or you did the backup with a different version of cwm than you are trying to restore it with.
If this helps I got here a copy of my mhx lite 2.3.6 I made before going to 4.0.3

Its mhx superlite 3.1 but if the rom will work you can later on flash whatever you want. Atm you seem to be stuck with an unusable phone so anything is better.
Go to sammobile.com
make an account
go to firmware section
type i727 in the box
scroll down and download the tar
extract with 7zip
Flash in odin
Then drink beer and such
i was able to flash tru cwm a att rom that worked. Everything works ok now.
