Guide to get back to stock ICS from a custom rom!

***Updated***:6/26/2012 7:53PM Pacific Time
In this thread I am going to show you how to revert back to ICS with GB before you update in 6 steps!
Step 1: Be on a custom rom
Step 2: Put the PH39IMG file on the root of your sd card.
Step 3: Go to Hboot(power+volume down) and it will automatically start it up
Step 4: Go back to Hboot(Power+volume down) and Relock your boot-loader with this command: fastboot oem lock and it will now say relocked.
Step 5: Go the the check for updates under Settings-check for updates and download+install the OTA ICS update. Note: your phone will reboot and show the ICS ROM installing.
Step 6: let the phone do it's thing and in about 10 minutes you will be back to Stock ICS
If you want to unlock the boot-loader again find Hansoon's 2000 all in one toolkit and get the unlock code if you lost it from the htcdev website.

If you have the correct RUU for your phone and you want to return to stock ICS, then you can follow the directions inside the (BEFORE YOU BEGIN) section of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
It is necessary to be able to use fastboot from your computer to complete the steps. If you are on Windows 8.1, follow my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-vivid/help/fastboot-windows-8-1-t2993559

2. Going to mask s-on, non tampered, and locked bootloader

Please correct me if I am missing something or messed up a step. Also if anyone has information on the stock HK recovery, that would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Return to stock

Hi

What error do you get when it fails?

[Q] HTC One M7 Unroot issues

Hey all,
I'm trying to unroot my Sprint HTC one. It's currently running software version 5.03.651.3 and android version 4.4.2. I was planning to flash a rom on it, but I ended up just putting a custom recovery. Now I want to unroot, so I relocked the bootloader, and flooded qbking77's video, however it wasn't able to go though. Any ideas on how to unroot this phone? Do I need to unlock the bootloader, and flash the stock recovery? or is there something i'm missing.
Thanks

You didn't say exactly what the issue was, but I wrote a guide a while back that walks through the steps to RUU. Feel free to follow it and follow up here or in that thread with issues.
