Hi,
I did the following procedure
1. Unlock bootloader using HTC-dev site.
2. Take nandroid backup of stock ROM.
3. Installed Sabsa prime v15
Now I want to go back to stock ROM.
4. recovery says restore complete of Nandroid backup.
5. I flash boot.img from nandroid backup (I am on S-ON)
6. the phone boots up and directly goes to recovery instead of normal boot.
How can I get back to my stock ROM now?

Yeah, I had to do the same... I downloaded the RUU from htcdev and flashed. But I am not sure why nandroid restore didnt work. Is it because i was on S-ON?
Try this

Sabsa prime Rom has this issue, it doesn't get completely wiped off with factory reset.
In the recovery go to advanced, format /system.
After this restore from CWM. After the restore gets completed, flash the boot.img file from fastboot usb mode.
No, again go to recovery and select reboot.
I hope this will work.

I'm not too experienced in flashing roms so please have some patience with me.
I recently installed the ota update from htc and then unlocked the bootloader through the official htcdev site. I then flashed clockworkmod recovery through fastboot and flashed cm7 through CWM. I'm still running cm7 at the moment.
However, I am now not able to restore my phone back to the stock rom. I tried to restore the stock rom through a backup I did on nandroid in CWM. It went through all the steps and told me that the backup has been successfully restored. But after choosing the reboot phone option, the screen shows the white HTC screen, followed by a black screen for a couple of seconds, then the white HTC screen again, and then it finally brings me to CWM.
I'm not sure what I can do to restore my phone to stock rom. I went back to cm7 and tried to restore using ROM manager but it didn't work out too.
Help please!

I have the same issue, I have a feeling about the cause but it is just a brainstrom. I could be wrong.
It might have something to do with ext4 vs ext3 file system. Custom roms usually format your phone in ext4 format while the stock rom only supports ext3
I would try and search a a format script that formats in ext3. (zip file format so you can flash it through clockwork or something)

With the unlocked bootloader, when the device is in recovery mode, it cannot overwrite the boot.img partition. So when you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you must manually extract the boot.img file from the zip file and flash it manually in Fastboot mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
In the case when you are attempting to restore a previous backup, the same is true, except in this case you would manually flash the boot.img from the CWM backup folder in Fastboot mode.
This should solve both of the situations you have encountered.
Okay that method worked a charm. Just flashed back the stock rom.
Thanks for much for that!

Weird, didnt work for me. Dit you manually flashed the boot.img extracted from the nandroid backup?
Yup. So i took the backup from my sd card and put the backup onto my computer. Then I used clockworkmod recovery to restore the backup, and then used fastboot on the computer to manually flash boot.img through usb.
Hope that helps
Cannot restore with the procedure.
I have been trying to restore stock rom but I'm unable to do it.
I flashed boot.img using command prompt.
Restored it via Clockworkmod recovery but after restoring when i reboot the phone, it again takes me to recovery mode.
What should I do?
Maybe it is because you have changed the backup name.. I heard that if you change the stock from backup name you will wreck the md5sum ...

No..I have not changed anything.
I even tried formatting it in ext3 using Touch recovery and then tried to back up..but it didn't work.
It just keeps on taking me to recovery mode when I reboot.
Why don't you guys get s-off? I'll post a link when I'm on my PC on how to do it. That way, you won't have to flash the boot.img each Time you install a new rom...

Hello, I tried with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" took the boot.img from the backup and then I did a restore but it always goes into recovery mode, what else can I do?
I remember reading somewhere (dont remember exactly where) that you can make a nandroid backup before rooting or flashing a custom recovery.
This was done by booting into fastboot mode and running the custom recovery, not flashing, just running it. This would preserve the stock recovery as a custom recovery is not flashed, but would still allow you to make a backup of the stock rom without root and without a custom recovery.
Is this a possible method for making a nandroid backup of the stock rom? Which would allow you to return to stock after rooting and installing custom roms?
fastboot boot recovery CWM.img (or whatever you have called the recovery image) will boot into CWM but not flash it and you can then make a nandroid

One more question, even if you have a nandroid of the stock rom, wouldnt your device still show up as tampered and unlocked? Is there a way to remove that AFTER returning to the stock rom..?

Hi, you again
That didn't work for me with CWM, but it didn't work after I flashed it either. It just failed to back anything up.
I didn't try it with TRWP though, in theory you're correct.
i had arhd, i restored stock firmware and now how do i unroot it and delete twrp, answer me asap
Flash your Nandroid back up, flash your stock recovery, reboot

where can i find stock recovery?
can any one please share ? i'd like to get the OTAs badly. Rooted my phone, installed custom recovery, now i want to the stock recovery back, also i relocked the bootloader. Will this allow me to get OTAs normally after i flash the stock recovery back ? thanks.
I need version 2.16.401.5, thanks.
i tried flashing with the 2.16.401.1 recovery but getting "signature verify fail", could it be because i installed superuser with TWRP recovery ?If so, how can i fix it ?
EDIT: i guess i did it, forgot to unlock the bootloader, dont know why i locked it again lol, anyways, installed 401.1 recovery and did a factory reset. Is this it ? or do i need to unroot the device with supersu that i have installed and relock the bootloader ? I did not install any custom roms, so the rom is HTC stock, but i installed superuser with TWRP. Will this do any harm ?
Okay i did some research and i FIXED the problem and was able to get OTA update back.
this is what i did:
-Unlocked Bootloader (which i forgot obviosly)
-Installed TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/recovery-twp-2-7-1-0-one-mini-2-t2801370)
-Downloaded original nandroid backup (thanks to Kativiti) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/help/img-rom-ruu-request-t2847860) (nandroid backup: https://mega.co.nz/#!msthgIJB!WF5r4CwkXOg3Xda1YP_ESAKRNeY7AC5jkA_tIW65PwU
-made a recovery to show me where i need to copy the backup on my sdcard to
-copied the backup there and made a restore in TWRP
-then flashed the original bootloader back (thanks to: djluisbento) (thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/help/request-original-recovery-img-t2809031) , also make sure you flash the 2.16.401.1 recovery because the nandroid backup is also 2.16.401.1 version. (stock recovery download: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4sLrKlVs0CPMXZMb2FJNGFOdEE&usp=sharing)
-after i did all that stuffs i was able to get the 2.16.401.5 update and it works flawlessly. And to not forget my CID is HTC__032.
Thanks guys for these files and thanks to this forum. You saved me, you are the best. Cant believe i fixed it so easily. May god bless you

My OnePlus 3T is currently rooted unlocked bootloader nd on TWRP recovery
So now I want to move my phone to stock condition pls help
Simplest way would be to just run the Qualcomm restore tool/unbrick tool. This will restore everything back to unrooted and locked bootloader as you've requested.

You could do a factory reset in TWRP and flash the latest OnePlus stock image from https://downloads.oneplus.com
Then reboot, which will restore the stock recovery and re-encrypt your phone (if you've decrypted it). Check that this is so in Settings>Security. Also check that recovery is now stock.
Then you can relock the bootloader from fastboot.

Link to downloading recovery is there along with link to download the ROM, just check the website.
If you flash stock ROM through TWRP, your phone will be automatically encrypted and stock recovery will be installed after reboot from TWRP.

If you flash the full stock image in TWRP and nothing else, then when you reboot the stock recovery will replace TWRP. This is the way I would do it.
You can verify this by booting back into recovery after the phone has booted up on OOS. Note that if your phone was decrypted, then the first boot up will take a while to re-encrypt the phone.
I would not relock the bootloader until you've verified that the phone is encrypted and the stock recovery is installed.
