How to retrieve original ROM?

Hello, I'm new here and I have a lot of questions, but the most important (before I start flashing my Diamond) is:
How can I retrieve my current ROM (the one that came with the phone) from it's memory?
I need this in case something goes wrong and I need to service it! In case of service problem, the warranty will void if I change the ROM.
Can anyone give me some info on this?
Thanks in advance!

roms are replaced leaving no trace of them on the device
only way to go back is to flash the device with the same old rom one had to begin with
if devices had a shadow rom one could go back to the original it came with
it would require 2 times the rom storage raising the price and size of the device
and inc the power usage

So, there is no ROM (*.nbh) witch I can save somewhere else for later flashing in the Internal Memory of the Phone? (not the 4GB)

Nexus One still locked with camera not working

Hi..a friend of me has a new Nexus One (with locked bootloader) and has some issues with camera.
When he enter camera app it is black and it doesn't work.Same with applications that use camera (like Goggles).
He tried to initialize sd card and phone memory but issue is still not solved.
How can he flash his N1 with original firmware?Does he need to boot phone keeping pressed volume button?And how can N1 recognize and flash original rom?
Do you think it is an hardware issue?It would be a problem cause we live in Italy!
Thanks..

No, he needs to do none of that.
If it's still locked and appears to be broken don't try and fix it yourself, just get a warranty replacement...

I think it is possible some camera driver got corrupted.Before sending phone to other part of the world I want to try to fix it reflashing default firmware.
How can I do?DO I need a stoke rom zip or img?

I understand your unwillingness to send it across the world but really, do you think some camera software got corrupted on a read-only phone? If so, it's still unlikely that you will be able to fix it.
To put new firmware on the phone you will need to root it. If you root it you will not have a warranty and you still might not be able to fix it.
Latest, full, leaked, signed rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648856
It's a risk though...

I'm sure I can flash with original rom a N1 not rooted.
Exist default recovery mode and I think it is to flash N1 with stoke rom.

Okay, well I've not tried this but the latest standard rom is linked above so good luck.
That image has *all* of the partition images, radio, recovery, system, data etc.

how to remove recovery rom and revert to stock bootloader? [solved]

I have "RootTattoo1Click_Recovery_2010-03-18_Mvx" installed and running flawlessly. But now I need to send it back to service center for some HW issue and so I need to COMPLETELY remove custom recovery image and revert back to stock bootloader. How do I do it? I have the factory rom for my regoin with me "RUU_Click_HTC_Asia_India_1.67.720.8_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" which I got from "shipped-roms", should I simply run it?
PS: Sorry if it has been repeated, I tried searching and got a few results too, but I just wanted to make sure I dont have a brick

Simply install the stock rom and check if the custom recovery and bootloader have been set to default afterwards. Should solve your problem.

Look here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Click/
pick your carrier and country and flash - completly unroots/rolls back your Tattoo!

Hi.
I also had to give my tattoo away for display repair. They sent it to HTC in Hong Kong, and they returned it repaired (under warranty).
My tattoo was rooted with 1-click from Mvx, so I guess they don't even check it or they don't care.
Best regards

They usually re flash first thing anyway. They did mine when it had HW repair. They have done the same for previous HTC devices I had to.

Although I'm soon trading my beloved tattoo for X8, i know not a powerhouse, but I like the looks and presence of GPU is gonna be a big deal for me! But nothing can match customizations of HTC sets. Also, tattoo has an awesome community and awesome devs. CHEERS

[Q] My HTC Sensation XL SD Card cannot be Mounted. Please Help me.

Today morning I had installed the custom Insanely Cool Sense Rom By Three Muskeeters and the phone was working really fantastic. Lot of improvements like more batter life, good Wi-Fi signals and also the Network radio and the fabulous performance. But later, I have found that my SD card only shows the size of 234KB. I was wondering and I had restarted my Device into Recovery and formatted the SD card which results the SD card cannot be mounted. I tried several times, but no possibilities. Later I restarted my device which doesnt boot into the Android OS. Now, I dont know how to reinstall my Backup ROM which I have with me over the ClockWork Mod Recovery. Because, I dont have the access to my SD Card to copy the Backed up ROM. Now what can I do?
Shall I have to give my mobile to the HTC Service center for repair? or if any other way to remount my SD card. I have tried to format and mount the SD card through CWM Recovery. But it fails.
Can Someone help me how to make my device works again? I will be thankful to you if you help me in this regard.
If I give my device to the HTC Service center, Sure they will charge me again 300 US Dollar to replace the main board. I am residing in United Arab Emirates. Here people dont even look at the phone to figure out the real issue. They use to say that you have to replace your main board in order to make your phone work. I have already paid 300 US Dollar before when I was not familiar with the CWM.
That time when I have given my phone to HTC Service center, My CWM Recovery and SD card is working fine. But I dont know how to install the Custom Rom Via SD card over CWM. Because of the device unlocked, they charged me 300 US Dollar to repair my phone. They told that I had damaged the main board of my device. I was really wondering that time.
Now, I really need your help guys. Kindly give me the proper appropriate solution to get back my device working. Thank you.
Regards,
Ummar Hathaf

Brother i m also in United Arab Emirates .

I had similar problem and what i did was relocked my phone and run ruu for ics 4.0.3 for my region. It worked fine. You will then have to unlock and root again. I have decided to stick with stock ics 4.0.3 update for now.

Try ICS Rom by FShami - Really well optimized for Sensation XL
Thanks for the Superb and Fantastic Well Optimized Rom by Fshami.

[Q] Cant get in hboot, computer doesnt recognize the device

htc inc s, brand new from ebay china seller ( I live in Greece), is s-on, never messed up with, never rooted all factory. It worked great for few days and after the first OTA update I cant get into hboot, adb doesn't see the phone, always the updating symbol on screen.Tried battery pull, volume down + power in all the possible timing and combinations but yet nothing! Also I tried battery pull, volume up + power it vibrates 3 times orange lid is on and black screen (on the forums is said that this is diagnostic menu) . So I think maybe this phone is a refurb and not new since the answer from HTC global support (after sending my IMEI and S/N) is that this phone is for Indonesian market and that its warranty expired year ago!
Can someone figure out what is going on and help maybe...

yay i think that ebay china seller has fooled you
i am not sur but it must be like this;
the phone must be from indonesian market.
(there is no reason for which htc global support will lie!!)
the ebay china seller must have resold it to you.!!
and then you flashed a european RUU and thats the problem.
i will try to hunt for solution.
may be some expert will come up with solution
keep patience
:silly:
okay
i searched a bit on your problem
a guy on android forums has a similar problem
check; http://androidforums.com/htc-rezound/596891-ics-ota-bricked-my-new-unrooted-phone-help.html (if posting a link for information purpose is also not allowed by this forum please forgive me)
i dont think there is any solution!!

That probably is the problem. +1 I would find an official European RUU for the Incredible S and then run it. Or just unlock the bootloader and root it and live a long life with the Incredible S

O right nvm, unlocking bootloader is not possible because you need android debugging.... hmmm.... school has been wrecking me lately....
It might be possible to run an RUU though. Just have it boot and have it left in the state. Then try running the RUU. Of course I have never seen such a case as this and at this point, anything could be worth trying :/

ya that true
but i dont think that would work
if some way he is able to get fastboot atleast;
then everything can be done
but i think he will have to send it to company or ebay seller to demand for exchange

The only other thing you could try is to get the latest RUU from HTCDEV.com and extract the ROM.zip file from the /temp directory and then copy it to the SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip.
Then try rebooting using volume down and power and see what happens.

Why did you choose that RUU and ROM? This forum is for GSM version of the Incredible S. The Verizon version of the HTC Incredible 2 is a CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.
From the sound of it, I think your SD card is probably the root of the issue. That would explain why the OTA failed. Have you tried taking the SD card out and booting the phone without it. That might abort the OTA and allow you to get back to the HBOOT menu.

Yes buddy thanks a lot I read your post earlier but I just wanted to see will someone else also agree with this so I can be sure. This came in my mind yesterday when I read this post:
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f485/guide-how-download-correct-firmware-rom-htc-1623710/
and saw that the line ""before download file check this thread and match your cid to know carrier and country""...

Yes you are right but still I tried to start the phone without sd card before many times before I tried to boot with the pg32img method and it did nothing!
