Okay guys Im trying to un root my Aria so I can retun it to ATT.. After reading the "method for 100% factory restore, unrooted" (Sorry it wont let me add links) thread I couldnt find the original shipped rom so I used ROM manager to restore back to stock rom then used the rom update located on the HTC website.. This has unrooted the phone according to ROM manager and removed superuser but Clockwork recovery is still on the phone.. How do I restore factory recovery mode??

I have flashed tody JPC with Odin i have made all the Steps correct, but now i want to Install The Clockworkmod to make a Nandroid Backup..
The Downloadwas correct and the boot into the normal Recovery Mod was also succesfull but then when the Recovery loads the Clockworkmod the first Time it gave out a Error..
What Happend?
I'm pleased for quick anwers..
this is discussed since ages in the clockwork thread. use the search ...
I was wondering if theres a stock rom zip file out there. I dont wanna take the s off or do a nano restore. That would work and still get OTa's.
There is a safe nandroid restore of a clean stock install in the dev section. It will not turn S on. Go to the dev section, it is in a sticky called "resource bible". The link is called "stock nandroid restore". Download the file from the links op and use it to perform a nandroid restore. You will then have a blank slate with S on.

hmmm gonna try it
but i was looking for a zip rom thats stock. then going thew the whole nano restore. i Did a nano restore before and it didnt do anything. it Just went to the mytouch screen. then stayed there. I then put the S back on and then did a nano restore and it worked. But i was wondering if theres anyone with a zip stock version. like that i can zip different roms and if i dont like em. i can always go back directly to stock. with out going threw the process of visionary and terminal em.

The restore I referred to will not break root and will allow you to flash roms. They're is a zip restore in the same section but that one does revert your bootloader so it essentially breaks root. The nand restore won't break root. The reason you were stuck at the loading screen is probably due to the version of clockwork recovery you have installed. You either need version 2.0.5.2 or the newest version 3.0.0.6 for the nandroid to work. Clockwork recovery v3.0.0.6 will let you flash between froyo and gingerbread roms so I suggest using that one. I'll bet you're on v3.0.0.2 or 3.0.0.5. Those versions won't boot froyo roms or nand restores.

how do i install clockwork recovery?? i can't install it using rom manager and havent been able to update my phone
does it give you an error in rom manager? what is your current recovery? does rom manager have superuser privilege in superuser?
Are you trying to restore a backup using ROM Manager? If you rooted your phone using unrEVOked it automatically installs Clockwork Mod recovery version 2.6.0.1. This is the recovery program you may have used to make your first backup. If you've recently updated ROM Manager beyond 2.6.0.1 and flashed a recovery you will not be able to restore a backup initially made with CWM recovery 2.6.0.1. The article below explains it all. You may need to re-flash CWM recovery 2.6.0.1 again and try and restore the backup manually booting up through recovery and not through ROM Manager. ROM Manager has been causing problems for some people. This version is found at the bottom of Koush's article. I hope this helps.

great thx for any hlp given
right matey
if you wanna unroot then follow this
INFO AND OPTIONS FIRST
beware while your rooted dont flash or update the stock software with s-off as you may brick the device, once your unrooted and s-on you can use the system update and flash stock roms.
if you wanna stay rooted but have all the system updates and a stock rom i recommend virtuous roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
you will need to download rom manager from the market place, then you can get clockworkmod, do a nandroid backup of your current stock rom, flash virtuous rom, see how it is

no matter it works onot i will stil thank you^^
if i use virtuous roms can i update system software update on its own?or nid to wait for newer version of virtuous roms?
in the rom manager it will tell you when there is a update and you can choose to download and update whilst saving your data and settings. its great or as some would say... its the dogs bollocks! lol
i truelly recommend keeping it rooted, make sure you have s-off by taking out the battery, replacing the battery, hold the vol down key and press the power button (keep holding the vol down until a white screen appears. on the top line make sure it says s-off. if it doesnt, please follow the rooting guides i gave you in my first post.
download rom manager from market, flash clockwork mod... you can choose g2 it will work for desire z and g2.
once flashed use rom manager to perform a nandroid backup
download virtuous using rom manager and choose to wipe data and cache
(dont worry your nandroid backup will store everything, its a bit like taking a picture of your current rom and saving it.)
then your phone will reboot into clockwork mod and install virtuous.
enjoy
please donate to rom manager if you like it
a few other apps i recommend are titanium backup... extremely usefull!!!!
hope this helps!!
u rely helped alot^^tytyty
luv uXD

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist
What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Or just use ROM Manager to get the latest.
That's the only thing I use ROM Manager for... getting the latest Recovery.
thanks again nxt. if you don't mind really ...i have one more question. i know the phone intend to uninstall clockwork mod recovery once its restarted. i know there is command type into the cmd to avoid the phone uninstall the clockworkmod reovery and make it permanent in another word. I didn't run those command when i root my phone because i don't know if its good to make it permanent like.... hmmm like if there will be a 2.3.5 coming next month..just saying ok... with a permanent unofficial recovery will cause a problem?

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
the blue one is stock recovery right?
