Hey Guys,
I got an HTC Vivid a while ago. However, when I got , I looked into the software unlock method to unlock it. Doing so required for the phone to first be rooted. So I followed through some steps to root it. WORST DECISION EVER ! Since then, not only did the unlock not work, but the phone has gotten so slow and dysfunctional it is barely useful. I mean, everything else runs properly, except Calls and Text Message. i.e The phone isn't performing its right function.
Thus, I wanted to look into a way to 'unroot it' or at least just return COMPLETELY to factory settings. I want to be at least able to sell it and buy another. I've looked through and tried a couple of guides to remove the root. One seemed to work really well, until I restarted the phone, where the "Cleanup" window came back on, and the phone returned to its old rooted self.
Thanks in advance for your help !
How did you root it...
What 'unlock' are you trying to accomplish?

I rooted using a method I saw here, which was supposed to be one of the steps to software unlock.
However, it is not already uncooked using the regular IMEI, which is completely different.
So, now I just want to unroot, and bring the phone back to factory, with those "Android is Upgrading...Optimizing applications" message at every boot up.
Anyone ?!
If you revert to stock ROM using ruu, you will be unroofed.

I tried that once...It didn't seem to work for me. Is there a particular method I need to follow?
Also, it seems the "Deodex' method for my rom was supposed to work?
Thank you in advance.

In not familiar with the "deodex" method, but I did fish out a guide for the ruu:

In the meantime, I'll look up the deodex method and come back to this post.

I have recently tried to revert my Velocity back to stock but ran into the same problem. Have relocked the device and tried to flash stock RUU but this didn't work. My device was s-on and I read in a post here that to be able to go back to stock RUU you need to be s-off. The part I haven't worked out yet is to be able to get s-off you have to be on stock RUU!

You DO NOT need to be s-off to be on stock ruu. Do you mind going through the steps you followed?

No, sorry ,I meant to say that you have to be on stock RUU to be able to achieve s-off. The guide that I followed was "The HTC Superguide " in the development section of this device. Firstly, I did a full wipe, as in Dalvic cache, Cache, System, Boot and Factory Data Reset, also SD card, then I relocked the device with "fastboot oem lock", after that I tried to run the stock RUU ( The one the phone was originally on ), which started the initial flash but stopped at about 10% and came up with " ERROR 140 ". I tried 4 or 5 times and even tried another computer with the same result.

I found this thread with people that had the same problem, but I'm not sure if it will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828491&page=3
You could try flashing an old gingerbread ROM and then try the RUU, as it seems to have something to do with the rom on the phone being newer than the RUU or something.

I have tried flashing an old gingerbread rom ( 2.27.841.6 ) as well as the latest version I could find ( 3.25.841.4 ) but I keep getting "ERROR 140 WRONG BOOTLOADER" and it also says the current version is 3.44.841.3 which is why I can't upgrade because I'm really trying to downgrade. The update to 3.44.841.3 from 3.25.841.4 was only about 58Mb but I can't find that and I don't think it would be of much use.
I have also tried to s-off the device with a live Ubuntu 12.04 32bit CD using ControlBear instructions but hit a snag because the sudo ./ControlBear command does nothing. I think the permissions or password may be out of date. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
I made a PH39IMG.zip from the 3.25.841.4 and tried flashing that but got the Wrong Image message too.

Hi guys. Im really having a problem with my phone now. I can't update my phone or do a hard reset as I will be directly brought to the fastboot menu with a security warning on the top. When i go back to the hboot menu and try to do recovery or factory reset, the same thing happens.
I really want to know what is going on and how do I solve this problem..

Hey, thanks for the advice. but what recovery should I flash again ?
Try the Clockworkmod first. If it is bootable, flash a rom and install 4EXTrecovery via 4EXT Updater.

Did you lock the bootloader or something? Try mentioning the steps leading to your situation, rather than just the end result. We shouldn't have to be playing guessing games especially when you're coming to us asking for help.

Alright guys. Im so sorry. I've actually managed to unlock the bootloader again, and flashed CWM. As gingerbread 2.3.5 was just pushed out to my country several days ago. I've brought my phone to the HTC service centre today. and they are also unable to run the RUU update. So they took in my phone for servicing and they will update my phone when the repair is done.

If you were as quick replying to your thread as you were in taking the phone to HTC we could have got you fixed up. You needed stock recovery flashed, I believe. Hope HTC don't charge you for this "repair".

Guys! Everything is okay now!! I've unlocked my bootloader again to flash a stock recovery, locked my bootloader and did the OTA update. Everything is well now! Thanks for all the solutions!!
Before you guys jump on me, I would like to apologize for just being dumb. Even though that is the truth, may I have some help?
I didn't read the guide on turning the S-Off on my Vivid, I thought all I had to do was run the hason s-off and it would automatically do everything for me. Yeah, I didn't even know about a wire trick (I've already admitted the obvious). My Vivid just boots to the JoupunutBear screen and reboots after about 3 minutes to the same screen. I guess I've bricked my device!:crying:
Is it possible for HTC to remotely restore my Vivid, or do I have to take it to an authorized dealer that repair phones? If so, how much am I looking at? I wished I had left my phone alone, but doing some of the crazy wild and exciting stuff for phones is so cool! I wish I had read that I needed to pin mod something, or else I would not have tried to do S-Off! I just got my phone a few days ago in a trade for my HTC Shift.
I guess this will be an expensive lesson and hopefully I'll read and not think every procedure for different phones are the same.
I miss my Vivid!:crying:

I thought as long as I had reovery image on my device, I had nothing to worry about. Boy was I wrong!
Any tips on which recovery I should use? Preferably with guide, my nerves are a bit tweaked right now.
OK, I just relocked...now what?
Downloaded AT&T stock ROM, downloaded AT&T PH39img. I guess now I'm suppose to place both files on SD card and use HBOOT?
Follow the guide in my signature titled "back to stock" (I think its step 6). Then if you want to re root or whatever follow the guide in my signature steps 1-4.

Following your guide now, I'll let you know how it goes.
I have to download the RUU and not use the AT&Tzip I've already have downloaded. Seems straight forward, I'll reply back, thanks!
Since I have some time before the RUU finishes downloading, I tried to reflash factory rom using the second method. When I reboot into recovery, it does load the PG file, but it doesn't give me an option to flash anything?
Just a heads up...for me ruu never worked with a unlocked bootloader so if it doesn't work relock your bootloader with the super tool thing in he dev section...just boot into fastboot from hboot and click relock bootloader, then boot back to fastboot and run the ruu

The beginning of step 6 requires you to relock the bootloader. Otherwise, the RUU or PH zip will not work.

Man this download is taking long, I still have 15 percent to go (6 minutes)!
I guess I have to have the RUU for any of this to work, so I'll stop playing around with it before I render the device useless. So I'll be patient since I have 5 minutes to go, then I should be able to perform any of the two methods found in the guide. I'm so glad there are so many here to help me, I love you guys! Don't be too flattered, I love my Vivid more! Once this is done, I'll thank each and every one of you!
OK all, I have to leave for right now. I started the RRU utility, but it stops at checking signatures.
ERROR (155) Unknown error
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I have an AT&T Vivid, I thought the one for Holiday Cingular was the correct one? On the phone it says RUU update failed. So I'll look into it when I get back and try then. For some reason I can't update the HBOOT?
Bye for now!
I bet you can't update the bootloader while it is locked, LOL!
As said...I'll look into it when I get back.

It should work if you re-locked your bootloader... So that isn't the problem. Maybe somewhere during you trying to S-OFF you still managed to change the HBOOT to the unofficial one. If so, then the RUU or PH zip will both probably not work. Somehow you need to get back to the stock HBOOT. You might need to ask in the Juoponut bear thread or contact them directly.

I've got an Incredible S with me here with Bootloader version 2.02.0000 and official ICS installed (upgraded OTA from GB around 4 months back). I unlocked the bootloader through the HTC Dev site. Every thing went smooth. Next, i flashed a custom recovery (CWM v 5.0.2.) and then the Superuser zip file i found one of the related Incredible S threads. I proceeded to flash the device with a JB ROM (after duly wiping data and cache on the phone) and it went well along with flashing of the gapps package. When rebooting after the procedure was done, the phone remained stuck on the startup HTC white screen. I tried waiting for 10-20 minutes but there was no change. I was (and still am) able to boot into CWMR and hence also tried re-flashing to no avail. Please note that I did not take a nandroid backup (Quite stupid to do so now that i look back) and hence not able to restore. Tried searching for an RUU of the official ICS by HTC for this phone but could not find one. Tried one from HTC's site (Asia specific RUU) but it gave an error saying i had the wrong RUU file for my phone. Also, my phone is S-ON.
I would request members to please point me to the correct sources for the solution of my situation. Please tell me how should i go about from here.
TIA

So, I was trying to put the Google Edition rom on my HTC One for Sprint. I had the right rom and everything. I noticed Wi-Fi wasn't working so I took it off and tried to go back to stock and then I noticed that the version on my phone (1.31.651.2) was higher than the version on the RUU. I have no OS installed on my phone and every time I try to flash a rom, it tells me I'm unrooted. Then, when I'm prompted to install superuser, it just reboots. I am now stuck in bootloader and recovery. I have absolutely no clue what to do. I have S-on as well. Please help!
All I can think of is to use this stock ROM here based on the 1.31 firmware and use the adb flash method. But I'm not sure if that would work as flashing .img's from adb would require S-OFF. Then again I am a bit new here, and others with more experience could chip in and then I may learn from it as well.

You need to s off. You get a lot more options for recovering from things like this. The thread is in one of the development forums here. Use moonshines method or download the all in one tool and use revone. It's really easy. Then you should be able to RUU back to stock and reroot.
I want to thank you guys for helping me first and foremost but I could not get revone on my phone and I couldn't do moonshine either. Moonshine ended in an error and revone requires root which somehow I don't have. I don't think there is any way I can get s-off

Ok so you need to do the following
Dev Unlock http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Then Flash a recovery with this tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814
Try a rom like the following based on 1.31 and sideload with above tool.

If your still haveing trouble then thry to flash the 1.29 RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390821
If you follow this you should have no trouble getting back up and running. If you do use the RUU then maybe also follow my guide and get s-off to avoid future problems.

Still nothing Sideload failed so I used adb push to get the rom and try to flash it that way but that failed too.
Does the computer see your device? Adb? Fastboot? Is TWRP installed?

Did you get root? Because that should be your first step.

Yeah, the computer does see it and yes, TWRP is installed

I have no clue how to do it, though. I used adb push to get superuser on my phone and when I try to install it, it fails. I'm not sure if I'm pushing it to the wrong folder or what. How would you be rooting it?
Try sideloading through TWRP a stock rooted Rom
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
So I recently accidentally wiped my internal storage which pretty much bricked my phone. I was rooted with S=on and custom recovery. Sideloading would not work for me, tried using TWRP and Clockwork mod recovery. I was able to return to stock though using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904. Worked like a charm, then I unlocked the bootloader again, flashed a custom recovery again and rooted again. I didn't see anyone else post the above thread, so I thought I would share in the hope that it helps.
All,
I am pulling my hair out, I decided to root my phone today so I could delete the default APN's, I have tried CWM and also TWRP.
All was fine, as soon as I installed Busybox something went horribly wrong, my phone will not boot up and just displays the "HTC Logo" I can get to the boot menu and boot to either CWM or TWRP. However there is nothing I can do within there, I cannot find a RUU for my model (CID is Orange) I have found a nandroid backup but CWM/TWRP refuses to see it via OTG and I have tried lots of USB Sticks.
I really do not know what to do next, I cannot turn S-OFF as HBOOT is 1.54
What can I do, I have read thread after thread.
Is there a default recovery.img or one for my carrier as I cannot find it.
Many thanks,
Dale
Managed to restore a nandroid, but I have no touch screen!
Tried clearing cache etc, have currently got a mouse plugged in to it to control it, there is an OTA available so going to try that.

Don't try it with a custom recovery. You'll need to relock your bootloader too.
No touchscreen is a firmware issue. The nandroid you restored will be an old one not compatible with the latest firmware..

Thank you for the reply
I've re-locked the bootloader.
What do I do next?, I cannot find a later nandroid backup anywhere

Just for now for the sake of getting a working phone I would just flash a 4.2.2 stock ROM, or Sense-based Rom. You'll need to unlock your bootloader again obviously.

Thanks for the reply, was up till 3am trying to get around this and got it going eventually.
That's what I have done for now, I sideloaded a stock Sense ROM which came with a stock recovery.img, guess I have to wait for a S-OFF for 1.54 if it ever happens.
htc one deleted os
