Restoring to stock ROM (N1 ATT)

I have been testing the N1 for a few days, and just making sure there aren't any hardware issues before I void the warranty (possibly) through unlocking the bootloader and flashing a ROM. I would like to know if it is possible to revert to a factory settings ROM with exactly the "out of the box" settings and OS.
Backup: Unlock, install a RA-nexus recovery, save current ROM to SD, save settings with a backup app.
Restore: Start RA-nexus, recover ROM from SD, do factory settings wipe.
Is this correct?

Currently you can't relock the bootloader, you can revert everything apart from this. It does void your warranty but apparently HTC have been decent about fixing rooted N1s with hardware defects anyhow.

As @nDrg said, you can't relock the bootloader, but you can restore the phone completely to the stock ROM... download the EPE54B stock ROM, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, copy it to the SD card, enter bootloader mode. The phone will find the zip and ask you if you want to apply the update... this will restore everything to the stock EPE54B ROM

Didn't work for me, please help...
Hello,
I tried to place the above listed file on my SD (tried the one from the link on your sig, and one from another source) and could not get it to recognize the file from bootloader, nor could I flash it from zip (via recovery).
I have been searching for a way to revert to stock ROM for days now (and I have been researching) and I can't seem to find a way that I can get to work. (I am running both cyanogenmod 5.06, and modaco's sense - switch back and forth with the RA revovery screen). I can't connect reliably to wifi on either, and want the option to go back to stock.
I'm very much new to Android (and the Nexus) thus I'm probably just missing some things that are obvious to more advanced users.
I was hoping that you might be willing to post a step by step guide to reverting to stock for newbies? (Explain each step, eg. I barely know what fastboot is). Or, do you know of a guide that you could point me (and others I'm sure) to?
One might ask why I rooted and modded my device when I did not understand enough of what I was undertaking to reverse the process. One would be absolutely correct in such a question! That being said, if anyone is willing to help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Randy

Just curious why you'd want to go back to stock?

@prettyboy85712:
I do love both cyanogenmod and modaco's sense rom, but I haven't been able to connect via wifi on either for quite awhile (though normal network connection works fine). To be more specific, if I have been able to connect via wifi without the sim card in the phone, but not with it inserted.
As well, it seems like a good idea to be able to revert to stock if I did need to (stock updates, etc.) and I'd like to try wifi with stock, to see if it's the phone or the ROM. (My fault for not figuring out how to do this before I modded )
Thanks so much,
Randy

if u want to go completely back where u still receive ota (minus the locked bootloader that u can't change that its unlocked) u can download the signed secure nexus 1 Rom from modaco and then flash the boot,system,and recovery.img though fast boot go to nexus one forum and search rolling back to stock Rom it gives detailed instructions on how to do it I did it to make sure it works and was simple it is and u even get ota updates from Google hope this helps if u need any help just send me a pm good luck let us know how it goes

[Q] Backup phone(before root) 2.3.4

Anyone that know a backup app/program that can backup all my data so that I can root my N1 2.3.4?
Not really up to the whole factory reset and do all customizing again... :/
I can backup my SD easy with USB cable but the internal memory is a different story.
Thanks

Maybe downgrade?
Hello XDA-Community!
I got the same problem as TheWierd - I am running stock 2.3.4 on N1 with no root and locked bootloader. I would like to change to a custom rom to have more fun (and mainly because i am running out of internal memory, so a forced move2SD would be cool). But i dont want to lose some app data like savegames, settings etc.
Is there a way to have a good backup before flashing the new rom? so getting root without unlocking the bootloader and therefore wiping the whole device? (e.g. is it possible to downgrade to 2.3.3 and use gingerbreak oder superoneclick?)
Thanks for any help!
PS: I don't want to hijack your thread, TheWierd, just wanted to state, that you're not the only one how's got that problem

No problem mate, would think that more got this problem but no real info about it.
Find Sh**loads of threads with the answer "Titan Backup" etc. replies...
Like they don't know that you need root to do that...

Hehe - ya, it's like an infinite loop - you want to root your phone, but in order to root it, you must unlock and therefore wipe it, before you can wipe it you want to backup the data, in order to backup you need to root your phone, ... etc.
I hope anyone can help here

MyBackup Pro is about as good as you are going to get. You can add a few SMS backup apps and stuff also, but you can't backup everything without root...

Hi again folks!
thanks for the info, danger-rat - I thought as much!
So i just did it yesterday. Flashed CM7 and I'm very happy with it! Ya, I lost some savegames (Stupid Zombies, Alchemy, etc.) but I also could backup some other data and settings.
It was really easy to flash it. Well, so I'm out here!
Kind regards and thanks

Rooting but keeping stock?

Finally upgraded to a One after having a Desire with cfw for a good few years.
I would like to root my One to run titanium but after having already setup everything on my phone I firstly want to keep the stock firmware I'm running, and more importantly don't want to resetup everything after rooting .
The HTC site says running root wipes your phone.
Is it possible to keep the setup and run the stock firmware. Basically I want to keep the phone as is, just have it rooted.

To be honest I don't get it...
Why u wanna root and not flash any custom Rom...
You can backup all your files...
And really...setting up your phone after flashing Roms is not that hard...right?
Custom Roms give you better battery better performance better everything...
Think about that...

Rooted and can't update..

Hello,
I rooted and unlocked my HTC Desire 510 (Cricket) ages ago and I have an update for security patches which I cannot run because my phone just keeps rebooting into TWRP recovery and therefore does not install the latest update. I heard you have to flash the phone back to stock ROM but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I am willing to restore my phone back to 100% stock if anyone knows how I can do that.
Thank you.

You have to relook the bootloader
Flash stock rom
Apply your ota updat
And after you can unlook again and flash recovery

IMO.... Update isn't worth the time involved needed to install it. Installed on my wife's totally out of the box stock 510....esy,but couldn't really see a difference. Left my rooted nonsense ROM alone. It's been quite a while now and haven't noticed a difference. Your call, that's just my two cents worth

I ended up finding someones stock recovery image dump around here after doing some searching and it worked out fine. The only reason I ever actually rooted my device was to use Helium to do full backups of my phone such as Apps and App Data.

Help needed with first root of 510 (Vodaphone)

Hi all,
I am I a position where I can get unlimited tethering, of which I am grateful for. I purchased the phone from Vodaphone and then moved to another provider. Because its a third party phone, tethering is not detected.
So, I accidentally updated the software version of the 510 to 1.51.161.12 and then to 1.51.161.14 and my tethering application took a MASSIVE hit.
Tethered to an Xbox one, I now get huge packet loss, very low MTU, huge latency and slow speeds, which was not present before the update. I have contacted the HTC devs to let them know about the issue. I have already troubleshooted all my devices, factory reset, wiped the cache etc...
I wish to roll back the version. I realise in order to do this I will need to root my phone and flash a ROM. The only Kernel I could find was on the htcdev website and was version 1.51.161.10 from vodaphone. Is this a stock ROM?
Can anyone assist me in safely flashing my phone, I have never done this before and I would like to keep my unlimited tethering and phone in working condition. I did Google it but I couldn't find any decent results.
What is a safe guide to follow? I am completely inexperienced at this and would really appreciate the help.
Is dip_spits guide appropriate for a a UK carrier, does it matter? I almost used this guide
https://support.digitalendpoint.com/hc/en-us/articles/204812787-How-to-root-the-HTC-Desire-510 -until I realised that I need philz recovery for 64bit. Will using the dip_spit guide lock my carrier again?
What ROM can I use after rooting. Why is it so hard to find information on HTC 510 rooting and ROMs
I am looking for a safe way of doing this and have posted multiple times on XDA, but nobody can help me. The reason I am doing this is to restore functionality to my tethering, which has broken for no apparent reason.
Thanks

Okey.....a lot of questions.
Firstly, if you are 64 bit there is no need to use philiz touch recovery. There is TWRP recovery for our device. You can get it here:http://twrp.me Don't search HTCDev for 64bit ROM's. The only thing there are kernel source files. The carrier lock is not in any way connected with the operating system (at least thats what I think). And it's highly doubtful that the lock will reapear. The reason that you can't find a lot of guieds about our device it's mainly because the majority of devs here on XDA are from the USA. In the USA they sell the 32 bit version of the phone and the software is very different from the 64 bit.
Now lets talk about ROM's.
If you want pure stock rom you can search for it here mega:///#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
If you want a custom rom you can get this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/cyanogenmod-12-1-msm8916-64bit-t3281744
And if you'd like a debloated version of the stock you can get this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/htc-desire-510-64-bit-eu--international-version/android-4-4-3-stock-os-debloated-64bit-t3361689

Ok so here is what happened when I rooted.
I unlocked the boot loader and made a recovery using philz touch. The PROBLEM is that I didn't have an SD card installed so what happened is philz touch partioned part of my phones memory. So I go to root and it is successful.
Now I got to recovery to install back the system because I was not happy with the way some of the apps were running and I want to install the stock vodpahone RUU on zubaggys page. I go ahead and recover but now it has taken more memory. I am now running my old ROM and kernel with less than 1 gig of free memory!!
All I want to do now is reinstall the stock vodaphone
Another question. When I was rooted, I downloaded barnacle tether and messed with the transmit power in the settings. I disabled and uninstalled. I also downloaded port forwarder ultimate and messed with the setting but uninstalled.
Will this affect my ROM installation, will it be fresh.
Thanks.

If philiz touch partitioned the phone then it's a miracle that it's still working. At this point I will suggest you flash TWRP because it has a more clean interface and there is no way you'd mess up something. Afterwards use it to format every single partition you can find with it. Beware that with this you will delete all data including the OS. I am not 100% percent that this will work because I haven't seen a situation like yours.

Jeez, I guess i have got myself in a bit of a sticky situation. I followed dips rooting procedure and it explicitly stated not to use twrp and use Philz touch instead for 64 bit phones. It also didn't state to use an Sd card.
We are talking in two threads here, so I suggest, to help other users with a stock revert, that we continue in Zubaggys thread. You are being a great help and I really appreciate you giving me your time.
