Hey Guys...
I need to find the proper shipped ROM so I can go back to stock...
I found one that says Virgin mobile but it has AU in the title so I was thinking maybe that was for Austriala...
Do I just download one of bell's considering they share the network?
Sorry I'm a noob

You stated you wanted to go back to stock, so did you S-OFF using Revolutionary.io and are running a custom ROM at this point in time? Is your intent to return to stock and S-ON state?

Yes. All Canadian Virgin android devices use the Bell ROMs.
They don't just share the network. Virgin in Canada is owned by Bell.

Ok so after further reading... I'm getting the idea that I should S ON when installing a stock rom ruu is this correct or can I still leave S OFF
I'm using Revolutionary BTW

Since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, when you run the RUU it should update everything except the HBOOT which will leave you S-OFF. The RUU will replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery, so you will need to reinstall CWM and then you can use CWM to install the latest su-3.0.x.zip to get root and superuser back on the stock ROM.

Hey, I'm also trying to return to the stock incredible s rom with bell but I unlocked my phone and was wondering if my phone would still remain unlock if I were to return to the stock rom?

No, in order to run a stock RUU, your bootloader needs to be relocked.

Sorry for a stupid question
But i'm just so confused with all the several stock roms that HTC offers and i just want to figure out which unbranded stock rom (don't require root) should i go with that would receive updates as they get released and would play nice with the Bell Incredible S S710a?
Also if i'm correct, after i S-OFF the device, i just need to install the recovery and then i can just flash the rom throug the recovery (just as i did with my X10) or is there something i'm missing (looking through these guides - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145541 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581)?

How did you S-OFF? Did you use Revolutionary? If so that is the difference. My was unlocked and S-OFF using the XTC Clip so I didn't need to use Revolutionary.
Yeah i used Revolitionary, don't have or know anyone with a XTC Clip
Meh, might just give up and try flashing the Android Revolution HD rom (since it's essentially that rom, just cleaned up).
Thanks though!

Yeah that is the best course of action since you have the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT. It is going to prevent you from installing the official IncS Sense 3.0 RUU/ROM. I tried to build a rooted, stock ROM from the 3.08.405.3 RUU/ROM for you guys, but it will only boot if you have the official HBOOT 2.00.0000. It will not boot on the Revolutionary S-OFF HBOOT.
As the title states guys, I have no idea what RUU I should download or even if one is available ... Like I said, I'm in the UK and I bought the phone sim free from Carphone Warehouse and I am on Tesco.
Cheers in advance

Cheers dude ... I did look at that a bit ago when I was trying to find it but I want the actual stock if poss from HTC. My current software version is 1.29.401.13, is that an OTA or is that the version of an RUU I need? I looked on the HTCDev site but I couldn't find anything under my operator but then I don't know if I can just flash a generic UK RUU or Europe or what lol, bit more to it on this phone than on my previous Xperia Ray.
The one listed should be fine m8, just know that you can't relock your phone properly.
the one i downloaded to keep for my sim free UK is RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
restore that and it should prompt to update to whatever the latest version is once you boot up
Cheers guys, I'll download the suggested files and have a butchers lol

Hi I have been following this thread, I read the instructions and it says you have to fastboot oem lock and then flash the RUU.
When you have gone through this process do you have to go through the process of unlocking the device via HTC id token again should you want to unlock, root and flash a recovery?

Any idea what one I need mate or is it not available? Tbh, I did try and restore using all the Europe versions on the link and I always got an error telling me it wasn't the correct RUU ... Why is it so hard to restore a One compared to say, Sony. When I had an Xperia Ray it was so easy to do, software direct from Sony to restore to stock, yet HTC have nothing simple when it comes to restoring ... It's blagging my head just trying to find any files to go back to stock.

HTC have never publicly released their RUUs, no idea why. You will need to use mike1986's 'stock' ROM to go back to stock or use one of the Nandroids posted in the Nandroid/RUU thread which is 1.29.401.13 or higher
Cheers for all the help guys, I think I'll just leave it unrooted and stock, at least until there is a stock RUU that is the same as the version I'm currently on, I could use the one from Android Revolution but correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the leaked 4.2.2 whereas I want an RUU for my curren version but if it's not available then I'll just wait and hope it appears at some point ... Maybe I'll take the plunge then when I have all the bits I need lol.

I am in the same boat as you.. My rom is also 1.29.401.13 and i can not find the RUU for it.. So someone correct me if I am wring please.
From what I understand is that in order to use the RUU , you must have the same 1.29.401.13 RUU for this 1.29.401.13.. if you have any other RUU it will not work.. is this correct?
so if there is no 1.29.401.13 out.. then is it only to just use the android revolution 10.1 rom or the stock rom .4.2.2 ?
thanks for anyone who will clarify this .. as I am really lost

no its not necessary to S-OFF for installing custom ROMs, all you need is unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP/CWM):good:
and yes its totally safe to install roms and kernels without PC unlike on One X :laugh:
just flash 'em from recovery
The only benefit to S-OFF is you have a get out to get back to stock if you need to as you can flash one of the early RUUs that leaked. If HTC released RUUs to the public there would be no need to have S-OFF unless changing the splash screen is important to you

S-OFF is needed I think if you want to change HBOOT or downgrade OS versions for ex from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1, but how about correct CID and S-ON again?

So without S-OFF, I can't go back to stock ROM after installing custom ROM, right?
What about before installing a custom ROM, I create a backup with TWRP, can I use this backup to return to stock?

Yes. You would only need s-off if an ruu isn't available for your cid.

If you have to ask then no....
S-OFF often introduces more problems then it's worth, especially when your not very experienced. It is a great tool to fix stuff when you really screw up, but it also allows a lot more control then most people can handle. If you so S-OFF then just remember to never S-ON unless you are already back 100% stock.

Anyway if you are on the HBOOT 1.54 you wont be able to S-OFF...

You will be able to go back to stock if you can get hold of the original recovery as well as using your backup (for the love of God make a backup!!!). S-OFF means you can use one of the rare publicly-leaked RUUs to get back to stock

Sorry, not sure if i understand your information correctly.
What do you mean by 'get hold of the original recovery'?
If I backup stock ROM using TWRP and when I want to go back to stock, can I just restore my backup without a use of RUU?

Yes but you wouldn't be able to install OTA updates without the original recovery image
so only if u want ruu u do s-off otherwise no reason......
S-OFF allows you to flash an RUU earlier than your current build, e.g. I can flash the 1.28.401.7 on top of my current 2.24.401.8 whereas without S-OFF I wouldn't be able to
but if a new rom came with new built u can install that, who needs s-off then?
As I originally said, you don't need S-OFF if you have no need to go back to stock. If you need to send the phone to HTC for repair, having S-OFF means you can get the phone back to 100% stock and showing 'locked' as opposed to 'relocked' so they won't know you've ever done anything to the phone.
Otherwise you're taking a chance on HTC refusing the repair

Hey there I am rooted unlocked s-off. Firewater will not work on my device so I decided to go ahead and try sunshine.
It seems no matter what rom I'm running, sunshine says I cannot use it and I need to flash a stock based sense rom. I am still on 4.4.2.
I can not for the life of me figure out what rom to flash to get it to work. Is there a rom I can flash thru recovery, a stock rom, that will get it to work?
Or do I have to relock it and flash a sprint stock rom (which I can not find a 1.54 base rom that is stock). I am hoping that there is a stock rom thats custom recovery flash able. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
You say you are rooted unlocked s-off... so I don't see why you need to use firewater or sunshine...
