newb with newb question - HTC Incredible S

as said above ^ I'm a newb
anyway, I just wanted to know if while following the root/flash custom rom etc guide sticky in the forum, how would I revert back to my original ROM. Is there something I need to do before flashing a custom rom etc?
Thanks

using clockwork recovery mod.
see this for a brief idea.
in simple words...after installing clockwork recovery just go to the recovery...select backup and restore>backup and it will be done in a few minutes.

Just before you are about to install the rom in clockwork mod select back up and it does it for you.

thanks heaps both of you

or you could be cocky like me and just wipe the whole thing ....
If i need to return it for warranty i'll just flash one of the stock roms found here ...

Well.. Nothing has been changed.. So.. this IS the official HTC release. Just rooted.. Soooo .. everything should work (haven't tested ALL yet)
How to flash... Simply use Clockworkmod recovery (ROM Manager)..
I'm probably asking a dumb question but I presume this doesn't contain the radio update also?

You will have to go to the HTCDEV.com site and unlock your bootloader in order to root now that you have the ICS update.

If you just want to root your stock ROM, then you can simply flash su-3.0.7.zip from recovery mode instead of flashing a custom, rooted ROM.

Where can I get original firmware?

Hi all
I want to replace the bootloader and install root and maybe CM.
But I was looking for the original bootloader and more importantly, the original firmware so in case I do not want to stick with CM or want to send it in for warranty, I can reset it all.
Could somebody point me to where I can download the needed files?
Thank you guys and girls
I need to inform you that you cannot replace the bootloader. You can only unlock it. Once that is done your warranty is void.
Now I am not sure if that works so someone will have to confirm or you will have to google it, but the RUU resets your phone to stock.
Here is a link to the GolfU RUU
Alternatively you can flash stock ROM, recovery and kernel from this thread right here.
Happy flashing, any further questions you are welcome to ask :3

He's not your bro, dude.
//please excuse the internet reference if you dont get it
Jokes aside, a stock rooted ROM allows you to do just that, only there's less hassle. Even though it's. a rooted ROM, it will behave exactly the same as stock Sense unless you want to install root apps. Please please please don't RUU to stock. Just use the Stock ROM and save yourself some trouble.

I don't think there are any unmodified prerooted roms. You can always look into making them and sharing your work.
