Hi Folks,
Firstly, I genuinely apologise for having to post about unrooting but Im genuinely confused on the route I need to take.
I am currently rooted with S-ON running the Revolution custom rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023). Im wanting to take it back to 'normal' and unrooted as I don't feel I need it rooted as Im not noticing any gain from it.
I have TWRP Recovery installed too and I took a backup via TWRP before flashing the custom ROM - my carrier is 3/Hutchinson 3G
From looking about there are several ways to go with unrooting but I just really need clarification on the method which is most suitable for my situation.
Kind Regards
Sam

Hi there! I just wanted to ask whether or not it was possible to flash a custom recovery on the UMTS Motorola Milestone from Telus?
I just decided to terminate my contract early and try the milestone, already "rooted" but coming from an HTC Hero where I was able to flash custom ROM's, custom radio's, custom recoveries and adjust or modify on a whim it seems a little irritating to have this "root" but still have to use the stock recovery to apply an update.zip in order to access the custom recovery.
Can the stock recovery be replaced?
sorry for a newb question!
Thanks for your time!
Hello Everyone,
I am sorry if I missed this in another thread. I have done some looking around, but that doesn't mean I didn't miss it.
I have a Mac. My htc is rooted running a custom, with S-On. How do I return this to stock, untampered, etc?
Thank you very much for the advice,
Blue

am wondering the same...i dont understand all this fastboot stuff
Wondering about the same as unable to install OTA - 4.3 update - Its taking me back to recovery "TWRP" instead of flashing the ROM
I tried today and almost bricked my phone. From what I understand, you can't do it on a mac because you need to run an RUU file and that can only be run on windows.
Edit: Just found out you don't need to completely flash stock in order to update. Just flash the stock recovery and you should be able to update.
hey, wats up?
I'm a bit new to the XDA site but i know my way around the Android OS to some extent.
I recently unlocked my bootloader, s-off (Sunshine app method) and flashed TWRP (with root) on my HTC M8 (international version).
phone is working fine, no probs...but, I recently received a notification of and update to 4.4.3
I did do a back up right after i installed TWRP, but, TWRP came with the root feature so even if i restore I'll basically have the same as before; a rooted stock OS.
Can u assist me in getting a stock recovery so i can receive the OTA update? or if its not too much can you guide me on how to?
I am seeing a lot of info around but i'm a bit confused.
This is my CID:
CID-HTC __332
I am more than happy to provide you with any further info in order to get me back to bare stock so i can take the OTA.
many thanks in advance..

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.

I currently have a AT&T HTC One (m7). I have my phone rooted and my recovery flashed with TeamWin. I'm still on Jellybean and haven't upgraded. I'm confused what direction I should take. I want to update to the official Kitkat image for AT&T and have my recovery flashed still with teamwin and rooted. I currently have S-ON.
Here's a few questions that I tried finding answers for in old thread post, though I'm just confusing myself more.
Should I take S-Off? Since I'm still on Jellybean and I hear it's easier... can I revert back to my phone looking stock if I do this?
If so how do I do it on Jellybean?
How would I revert back to stock, S-On, stock recovery, no root from Kitkat, S-off, rooted, flashed recovery?
Can I upgrade from Jellybean, with flashed recovery and root to Kitkat without losing all my data? How would I do this?
Thanks for any support you can provide with any of these questions. I've been trying to answering them though the more I read the more confused with a direction I should take. Thanks for your time read thru this, if you need me to explain anything further please let me know.
Yes Do SOFF now, if you can.
Then all you need is stock recovery and stock ATT JB system. IF you have modified the system/removed pre-installed apps, you may run into issues with OTA.
Best case scenario will be to SOFF and then move to US DEV, this will remove ATT bloat, while Keeping the sense. Ofcourse more work.
