Download it from the original ROM thread and flash it (same way you flashed the UK rom).

and after that restore stock spl from the hard-spl thread to have it completely stock again (you need that for example if you want to return it for warranty). If you want to flash another rom again someday, you can leave hard-spl untouched.
I had to use a goldcard to change my ROM from asian to Optus. Of course that wiped all my settings. But I was able to successfully S-OFF. So from what I am reading, most people backup their ROM after sucessfull S-OFF. But I don't need to backup OPtus stock do I?
So should I install the world edition RUU now and make some small personalizations and then back it up with clockwork mod? Do I still need the goldcard for RUU even if I am S-off?
Or should I just go to a custom ROM at this point and not back anything up?

Running an RUU at this point would undo the S-OFF. You are better off installing ClockworkMod and then flash a custom ROM.

Right on! I had forgotten about that post. Thanks.
Thanks I am on world edition now . I got a couple of random questions.
What's a popular browser that the custom Rom guys use?
How do I know if the version of clockworkmod I installed supports ext4?
I have some apps on my SD card, but they are not visible on my apps after installing new roms. Can I get them to show up again or how do I wipe the installation since its no longer used?

Hi everyone!
This is my first post, since I never had any trouble toying around with my device. I have a rooted Incredible S, that ran MIUI perfectly. I want to return back to stock (this is imperative) and use the official ICS by HTC. I tried putting back my nandroid backup, which didn't work (perhaps an incompatible radio? I have no idea...). That's when I downloaded a stock, cracked ROM from a thread I found here. This is a Gingerbread ROM with Sence 3.0 I think. Obviously, I can't get the OTA to work. I think the issue here is that my recovery is still CWM, and that OTA only works with the stock recovery (this is what I concluded from research).
This is where I'm having trouble. A RUU doesn't seem to recognise my device, so that's not an option right now. Windows recognises my SD card when I hook up my phone through USB, so I can install ROMs just fine. Is there any way to get the stock recovery and the stock ROM without using a RUU, while keeping my device rooted? I really want all of this to be stock, so no mods, hacks or tweaks. I want my phone to be in the same state as when I bought it and rooted it, before installing custom ROMS. Is this possible?
Many, many thanks in advance!

Hey mate, official welcome from me Second welcome from me today lol
I would advise against going s-on and fully stock.
You cannot run a ruu or ota with a custom recovery/root.
So the easiest way to get the stock experience you want is by flashing one of tpbklake's rooted stock roms. They are basically stock roms with root and can run on a custom recovery. No tweaks or anything

The link above (top one) is based off a newer ruu from asia, although there is not much difference
I would also suggest to try ARHD 3.0.x for the stock optimised rom
Also which bootloader version do you have?

Yes there a some ROMs in the Development section that are completely stock that you can flash through recovery.
The original GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1, the GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 and the latest ICS 4.0.4/Sense 3.6

I'm going to sell my device so I need it back the way it was. I want to keep it rooted though, so that the next owner can decide for himself what he wants to do with it. If he he's no techie, he can enjoy the device in stock (including OTAs, or can this be done like you mentioned?). If whe wants to toy with it, he can do that too. If it's easier to just go back to stock entirely, that's fine too.
It seems that I can no longer get into hboot now? After installing that hacked gingerbread, my device just boots into Android when pressing volume down and power??
tpbklake, I'll try to flash one of those when I can get back into recovery
Weird.. Taking out the battery fixed my recovery issue. I'll flash that ROM
Btw I seem to have hboot 6.13.1002 and radio 3805.06.03.03_M. Is this the info you need?

Yes
But since you want stock it won't matter
You CANNOT have both root and ota updates
Either one or the other unfortunately
You have to make a choice a rooted stock ROM will be identical to the official ota from htc but you will be able to keep root, but can't get ota updates
but unfortunately I think sense 3.6 4.0.4 is the last update
But, I have been proven wrong before

K then in my case a full stock device would be best. How do I get started with this? First install a stock ROM, then the stock recovery and then put It back in S-OFF? Which ROM should I install (would prefer the stock 2.3.3)? And where can I find the recovery? Sorry for the basic questions but those lists of ROMs can get a bit complicated..
Still getting nowhere If I flash a stock ROM in CWM, my recovery won't go back to stock, will it? Shouldn't I try to get the stock recovery first and then use a RUU? Problem is that I can't seem to find a stock recovery anywhere. And when I extract the ROM from a RUU, it's only about 180 MB, so that can't be right, can it?

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy with exams. I've tried the RUU RUU_IncredibleC_Verizon_WWE_1.22.605.0_Radio_1.00.03.04.06_release_161493_NoDriver (but I don't actually have a Verizon, could that be the problem?).

Ah, perfect! Canceled my download, but there's a 20 minute interval before starting a new one, so it'll take me at least an hour to download it.
I've encountered this issue before, but randomness seemed to solve it back then: a fastboot command just displays "<waiting for device>" and then keeps hanging there. "fastboot devices" returns an empty line, so that's consistent. Phone is in fastboot USB mode, so I'm not sure what could be the issue?
And then I have a question. In that guide, it says that I should extract HBOOT.img from the rom I installed. In my case, my rom only contains a file named "hboot_1.13.0000_CRC_8a731c6e_0401.img" (along with others of course, but I assume they are redundant in this step); will that one do?

Sounds like it may be a port issue, cable issue or driver issue on the PC.
Have you tried different ports or a different cable? Do you have HTC Sync running in the System Tray on the PC?
As for the hboot file, yes that is the one.

I thought you wanted to go to stock ICS? Hboot 1.13 it a gingerbread hboot. If you just flash the vivo_downgrade.img then run the ruu, there will be no need to extract and flash the hboot from the ruu.

No I wanted it back the way I wanted it. Rom, recovery,... all stock. But surely I'll give ICS a testdrive via OTA

Personally, I'd wipe my entire phone in TWRP or CWM (OS & Internal Storage), flash a stock ROM like the one from mike1986, either by sideloading it or better still, an OTG and flash drive ... Then just make your own Nandroid backup of a clean deice with stock ROM.
It's very easy and pretty much gives you the same end product as far as a stock backup to return to.
If you can't find a stock ROM that's for your region (I Don't which work or don't for other devices than my own) then hopefully somebody will make you one that is running your version. Currently these are your only options I believe as I haven't seen one RUU or Nandroid on here for 4.2.2.

There are no stock Nandroids posted for 4.2.2 and no RUU's either.
You are not able to downgrade because you are s-on. Since you are s-on and have already applied the 2.24 firmware, the best you can do is install a fresh rom that will run on that base.
What exactly are you trying to do?
