[Q] How to return to stock?

Rooted and running CM 6.1.0, have backed up 1.21 firmware, what is the easiest way to unroot and return to stock? (remove CWM also). Need to send the phone in for button repair. If I apply OTA update on the 1.21 firmware (updating to 2.2) will it wipe everything clean?
Thanks in advance

uhh im not too sure anymore but i think the best way to do it would be to apply an older stock rooted rom and then plug your phone into a comp with htc sync, and then do the update thing thats it got on there.. thats the way i was told a while back but im not sure if theres an easier/better way to do it. probably should wait till someone else comments before you go do anything but yeah youre meant to do something like that ^ i believe..

From my own experience, the technicians doesn't know if its stock, cm or what. They fix the problem and that's it.
I've sent my device twice with cm on it and there was no problem

Thanks for the replies although I would be happy to send it in with CM and whatnot, as it is not mine I do not even want to take the risk. Can anyone confirm that installing the latest vodafone firmware will restore phone to stock?

basically run a htc update on it (if you haven't S-OFFed then 2.1 is fine)
Search isn't working now so I can't link you, but either way find an offical RUU and it will do everything for you. Remember if you do update it to froyo (official) it is a difference process to root again (but still possible)

Or else.. search the forum.. I made a thread called "easiest way to unroot".. or something like that.. Always use the SEARCH feature before asking questions..

It's time for the younglings my friend

method 1 (preferred)
you can leave the LEGEIMG.zip to the root of your goldcard and go to boot loader and let it load and you confirm the update. i suggest using the same one that you use for the downgrade.
if, you don't have it download Legend rooting tools, extract the zip. locate testimage.zip... copy it to your goldcard and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. (make sure you dont ended up renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip.zip if you know what i mean lol)
method 2 (goldcard not needed)
For the past few days i've been playing around with official RUU. and heres what i've done so far on testing the official RUUs from HTC (link from stickies)... it'll turn your Legend to stock.... even if your on CM7 or any other roms....
But... if you have an HBOOT of less than 1.00... be warn. RUU with Froyo will update it and there's no known method to downgrade. unless you dont care about it and thinks its about time you update it and you have intention on doing the S-OFF...

[Q] RESOLVED!!! Help with rooting ICS

My apologies if someone has already posted this, but i couldn'f find a post that was able to help me.
I had my HTC vivid rooted before updating to ics.
I relocked the bootloader and updated using the ruu.
After the update i unlocked the bootloader and needed some help rooting again.
I tired using the vivid all in one kit(thinking that would be the fastest) from the forum but that just made my phone freeze on the white htc screen.
i just "reinstalled" ics because that was the only way to get my phone to work again (phone works fine now)
So the question- How do i properly root my phone running ics

Someone correct if wrong. I dont think that tool will be compatible with ics. I to have updated to ics and I havent seen a post yet for an easy way to root or re root after upgrading to ics. I hope someone can find a flaw and bring back the one click root, like way back on the incredible with unrevoked.com. plug n click your phone boom all automated.

The easiest way is to use wild child's recovery.

Here is his site. You will have to register but he gives instructions and even a video on how to set it up.

He also provides awesome roms. Just read everything before you do anything!

uh? i dont see the vivid on his site? unless im missing something... whatever happened to just using cwm

You have to register first for the Vivid section to show up.

just got cwm on the phone hope this is helpful to someone else
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img (got mine from the vivid all in one)
do the same you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
obviously files have to be in the correct area mine are all under c:\
hopefully that helps someone

It is basically the same idea but it is called touch recovery. It also works with gb and ics. Just like poster above said, you have to register to see the vivid section. Just read everything on the process and you will have recovery in no time!
---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
You can also go here:

It gives you information on the newest touch recovery, installation, etc.

now that i have cwm, how do i root my phone?

I think it installs root when you install the recovery. You should see superuser when you boot back up after installation.

No go, no superuser and no root either. tried using titan backup as a tester it says i dont have permissions

I guess I had perm root. Did you look in the dev section and try the root file there?
It's in the superguide.

It has a root file there you can apply in cwm.

If you don't figure it out let me know. I am about to play around with my phone and will see if I can figure anything out.

Glad I could help you! Just be careful with updating apps from tb. Try to avoid bringing data from gb to ics because it can cause problems. I would just install apps, you can try apps + data but sometimes it messes with things.

RESOLVED!!!!!
here's how i re-rooted my phone after ics ruu update
Unlock the bootloader following htcdev
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img got mine from the vivid all in one tool (located inside the data folder, im sure you can find the file on this forum but i happened to have the all in one tool)
do the same steps you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing in cmd "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
that will get cwm onto your phone
Next follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
skip down to step 2
follow the steps but IGNORE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PH39IMG.ZIP
just boot into recovery with cwm and install from external sd the vivid_cwm_root ver.2
and voila fin!
this is probably not the most efficient way to do this but this is how i did it
hopefully this is helpful to someone

[Q] Still able to Root?

Can the Hasoon2000 kit still root the HTC Vivid(4.0.3)? I have found no answer to this as that is why am asking.

At the moment it can't he is working on updating script to work on ics.

Did the toolkit work for you? Ive seen several of your post, and was woundering if it did. Did you have to do anything different other than the instructions?

The toolkit does work, just can't root at the moment.

Would you happen to know about how long it takes to script? I'm just woundering because I hate the new update and would like to root(s-off) and then flash a rom. I liked sense but want vanilla-android. Thanks again for your helpful post. I'm not asking if you know an ETA or anything like that, just from your experience.

Really don't know that info, however if you want to get root but don't want to wait there are other ways to do it. Let me know if you are interested and I will post them up. Consider though it will take longer than it would using the toolkit.

megatronisabeast
I'll try pretty much anything. I've rooted several devices, so findind a new way for another one won't hurt. Only thing that I really would like to do is avoid making a gold card, but if you have to do that I think I will wait for the toolkit. Thanks!! Do you know if it's possible to temp root, flash a kernal with cwm, and then flash a rom?

Here is what you need to do to root your phone, etc.
First thing is to download android sdk:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It will allow you to send files to your phone from your computer-no s-off so can't flash kernel in recovery only fastboot.
While that is downloading if you haven't already you need to unlock boot loader by going to:
http://htcdev.com/
Don't forget to keep the unlock code so if you need to relock your boot loader.
Next, it sounds like you want to flash a custom rom. If so the best one in my opinion is found here:
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
You have to register to see the vivid section.
Once there you will download the zip file, put a copy on your phone, the other copy unzip and place the boot.img and wcx recovery in the same folder that you have the fast boot file that you downloaded earlier from sdk.
Then you put your phone into hboot mode, plug it in to usb port, make sure on phone screen is says fast boot usb in red.
Then open command prompt in your folder with fast boot by clicking shift and the right mouse button.
Type in these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img
After those steps power down phone, unplug from computer, return to hboot, click on recovery, then flash the zip file that you placed on there earlier.
That's it, you got it root and all.
Also if you do use his rom, restart phone 3 times to settle phone in and cycle battery 3 times to make sure everything is working correctly.
Here is a video if you feel overwhelmed to help guide you brought to you by randong!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
Hope this has helped you!

You can use wild child's recovery to perm root ics check it site for the video if you need proof

We just need S-OFF so we can simplify this entire thing by using CWM. It's so much easier being able to flash a scripted .zip package in there than dealing with fast boot.

True, I just wish I knew how long "scripting" takes. I know the video is very clear, and that I'm very good with technology, however I do think that there is a good chance I might mess up...thus I believe I will wait, but I will do some more research be4 deciding what to do

I've never done it myself but it shouldn't be that difficult. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the Inspire - it was rooted, S-OFF'd, and had a few custom ROMs up the within a couple days of its launch. The level of development for that device was extreme from the very beginning.
Sent from my HTC Vivid

True, I still have an Inspire and the development is still booming. I personally just wish HTC would have made the Vivid as dependable as the Inspire, bc my Vivid has all sorts of problems. Turns off randomly, and each time when it turns back on it says "upgrading android" and then it optimizes the apps for ICS. Most of the time it won't flip my pictures(rotate)<--yes auto rotate is on...but all in all HTC went down in quality with the Vivid. Personally this is why I want to root, that way I don't have to worry with HTC screwing up the update.

it does work but i have found that busybox isnt installed/installed correctly and have had to install it from the market for titanium backup to recognize my root.

A reply to numerous posts...you don't need S-OFF on the Vivid, developers have yet to figure out how to do so. It's rumored some users have received their phones shipped with S-OFF, but to my knowledge it's not because of any modifications.
Follow this thread to accomplish everything Hassons2000 tool is trying to do for the Vivid. I didn't work for me either.

Having S-OFF let's you flash a kernel through recovery. It simplifies the flashing process and makes developing ROM packages easier for the user.

Root My Vivid

Hello. I am new to this forum. I did do searching before I came here. I am sort of a noob so sorry for dumb questions. I wanted an MIUI theme on my phone. I tried MiHome but it doesn't change the UI so I want to get the MIUI ROM on my phone but I wasn't sure how. I know you have to root your phone first, but I read somewhere that MIUI isn't compatible with different rooting procedures like CyanogenMod. If thats true, which one is it compatible with? Is it possible for me to get MIUI on my phone? I have an HTC Vivid (of course) with Android ICS 4.0.3. Can anyone provide me with a guide on how to do get MIUI on my phone, preferably a video with a step-by-step description (yes, thats how noobish I am). Also, what are the odds of me rooting my phone if I follow the steps exactly as told? Sorry for a ton of questions. To sum things up, I would like to get MIUI ROM on my phone but have no idea how. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Alright....you need to do ALOT of reading...I only say that so you don't brick your phone...but here's some info as well as how to get miui
It doesn't matter how you root your phone, you can still flash any Rom...you don't even need to be rooted to flash roms
Cyanogenmod is not a rooting method, it is an aosp rom...you cam flash from cyanogen but our device doeant even have a cyanogenmod Rom (well there is one but it was discontinued...for now)
In order to get miui you will need to do the following:
1) unlock bootloader
2) get recovery
3) download miui onto your phone (can't be any miui...has to be one made for our phone...you can find it on rootzwiki.com)
4) flash miui
More detail:
In order to unlock bootloader and get a recovery I suggest using Hansen vivid toolkit that is stickier in the dev section...its the easiest most newb friendly way to unlock bootloader and get a recovery...for the most part all you do is plug in your phone and click a few buttons...here's the toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003

I guess I'm forced to use my slow PC. Hopefully it won't shut down in the process or else I'll be screwed. :/ Thanks again! I'll let you know if it works out if you want.

Just some ideas , if your pc is slow you can download and of the files you need on your phone then transfer them over to the pc , also if you download the tool kit you shouldn't need anything else but the Rom , if you get s off you will need to do a couple of things , but as mg said do some reading on this subject to kinda get an idea as to what your working with , make sure you kinda understand it so you don't brick your ph. Better safe than sorry .
Good luck and if you have questions there is a lot of good people here and would be glad to help.

Help! I managed to root my phone, which is good. I am currently using WCX. I am not sure how to flash the rom. I tried going to my internal sd card and installing the miui zip file from there. After it reboots my phone, an htc logo loads, then it takes me to some chinese. It has like big chinese words on top in red, then in the middle it has white words, and in between the white words, it loads from 0 to 100 but I have no idea what to do now. It just leaves me stuck on this page! Can anyone help me? Do I need to uninstall the rom then follow a correct process of installation or can I just do the correct process? Also, please don't redirect me to some page, because I did a lot of googling and I found one which would help me, but the site is down. I am sure it isn't a long process. This is what I did:
1. Manually put the zip file into my internal sd card.
2. Rebooted my phone to recovery.
3. Installed the zip file, which flashed the rom.
Is that correct? Can someone please help me! Thanks!

With the ROM I used, since I am S-On (which I assume you are too since you did not do the wire jump thing from what I read) after you initially flash the boot.img file using fastboot, you need to flash the rom, which you said you did. Then go back in and reboot to bootloader, and flash the boot.img again. It may have been just specific to the Rom I used, but that is the instructions I followed for mine. I hope you made a nandroid before you flashed Miui in case you ran into these troubles....

What must one do to simply use greenify?

Hey everyone,
Im on a fully stock one, unrooted and everything, but I wish to use greenify. I've been looking around and there are many many tutorials on how to root. Each one us different, like revone, Im so confused! What do I have to do?
For now, planning on staying in a stock rom. As well, I wanna flash this:

Can someone tell me what method to root with?
Please and thankyou!

Actually revone is a method to take security off your phone ..then you cam root...the simplest way is unlock bootloader(this will full wipe your phone back **** up!!!) Then flash a recovery then a rooted Rom or simply flash root

Revone will be easiest and best for s-off and then rooting is child's play. Head ove to Revone thread for instructions.

Thank you both! When you sat backup, it's just saving your files and maybe using go backup right? No nandroid possible until after unlocking bootloader correct?
And s-off unlocks the device for custom roms right?

Youll have to unlock the phone via htc dev site if you are not on a developer variant of the device,flash a custom recovery, I know twrp can root the device for you,not sure about cwm...As far as wanting to flash that mod, Im 99.9% sure you will need to flash a custom rom as well,as the mod is most likely deodexed and will not work with an odexed rom which would be what your using.Greenify just requires root i believe. And revone is not the easiest way to unlock the device, can easily screw up the phone.IF unfamiliar with adb commands use the htcdev site to avoid issues until your more comfortable.

S-Off is NOT needed for custom roms,kernels or recovery flashing, based on what your wanting to do and being new to adb commands etc, use the htc dev site. In the custom recoveries AFTER unlocking bootloader and flashing one of them, its pretty straight [email protected] backing up the current rom installed.

Rooting itself seems easy, shouldn't be a problem. Well I could use twrp, which is better, that or cwm? Yea I'm not so good with adb... I get confused a lot, esp with spaces and characters... Like is there a space or whatnot.. long story lol
Yea I had an HTC sensation with greenify.. can't even remember how I rooted it hahaha. But the dev thing seems the way to go. Would you please be able to explain to me what odexed /deodexed means? Thanks!

If you don't know what s off is you don't need it yet... Do some more research and etc...but for now head over to HTCdev.com and then flash cwm or twrp..then you can simply flash a stock rooted Rom or whateve you may wish...
And for quaestion about back up...just back up anything you may want to your computer ...sd contents will be formatted with unlock

Typically, a rom is supposed to be odexed for smoother and faster loading of apps into memory. Each app(.apk) has a corresponding sister file(.odex). When a app is opened, called to memory, the. Odex has the information needed to start loading the app. A rom that is deodexed has only the.apk file. So when it is opened/called to memory the information to load the app is inside of the .apk and and must be pulled from it to begin loading it into memory. So at this level you would probably ask "then why are most custom roms deodexed?" People really started deodexing roms for themability. It is much much simplier to theme roms that are deodexed. It wasnt for faster speeds but for easier customization. So "themers" could build custom themes instead of have to build a whole themed rom. So now on one side you have odexed for speed, or deodexed for customizations? Well the brilliant devs in the android world came up with pretty good solutions to even out the field. In most any custom deodexed, youll see that they zipalign all the .apks in boot. While boot up time will be slightly longer, zipaligning optimizes every. Apk on every reboot which basically optimizes the information in each. Apk so when it is called to memory, the information is at the ready and quickly loaded witbout the need of a. Odex file. I kinda rambled here but wanted to answer this one as best i could because i kno many people wonder, and not a whole lot always ask. Hope this helps explain a little bit for anyone curious. :beer:

Awesome, thank you! Such a helpful community haha. And could I flash the Xperia stuff on a non-deoxed Rom but use zipalign? Am I getting this correctly?

No,if the mod is deodexed,the rom must be deodexed

Simple and straightforward, thanks!

revone can be used to unlock, you don't HAVE to S-Off with it.
