I have a BELL Desire Z which I rooted, S-Off and then flashed with the HTC Sense ROM from Paul O'brien. I am having more issues than anything so I want to know how I get back to the stock ROM.
I take it you dont have a nandroid backup? You could try that RUU method, it usually restores your self back to stock. I have my stock nandroid iimage lying around if ya need it.

The bell rom posted is .1, not the .5 version that's shipped.. so I don't think it's the same. So the RUU method wouldn't work..
I did a backup, but will it reset all my personal settings etc?
Is there a stock released ROM from HTC or bell or even an update on the way?

Be careful ! Do not try to flash an RUU that is older than the ROM you have, if you have S-OFF or you could end up bricking your phone - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
You can use the "debranding" guide in the dev forum to go back to an older ROM if you have S-OFF.
In about it says the software is 1.34.405.5
What do I need to do exactly to get back to stock safely.

If your current ROM is 1.34.405.5, then you should be able to safely use either the stock 1.34.405.5 RUU, or the ROM extracted from that.
It's if you're trying to flash a ROM with a lower version number than that you're already running, if you're S-OFF, that you'll run into problems.
Thanks for the info, is there anywhere to download the stock Bell ROM from? Alot of these threads are confusing for a n00b like myself with all the abbreviations and different versions.
I basically want to get back to stock, root the phone, delete the bloatware and overclock it.
I was wondering... if you made a nandroid backup after having done some app installations and such of the stock rom, and you flashed back to that backup, you'd have your original ROM with all the app installations and settings you set right? What happens if you then proceed to do a factory reset? Does the ROM revert back to stock? Or does it simply revert back to the state of the ROM when you made the backup?

Although several stock ROMs are on this forum, unfortunately it looks like the current Bell ROM isn't there, only an older one. It would obviously be very useful if someone could get hold of it and upload it.
You can do a factory reset to set everything back to how your ROM came initially, if it's still on the stock ROM. But if you want to delete the bloatware and overclock etc, you may well be better flashing a different ROM, have a look and see what ones sound good.
My question is sort of along the line of that of the OP, since I'm somewhat new to this process still I hope you'll humor me. I've done a ton of reading, but I still have a few q's I couldn't seem to find buried in my research...
I have a Bell Desire Z, unlocked, rooted, S-OFF. I installed ClockWork & flashed the recovery partition and did a nandroid backup of my stock Bell partition. I then did a wipe / install of the non-sense G2 ROM Paul put out and have been using it (and enjoying it) quite a bit.
I think I'd like to try a Cyanogen ROM now, is it really just as simple as flashing the RC3 (doing a complete wipe, obviously) and then I'm good to go? I can then just restore apps/settings with Titanium...
If I want to revert back to my original Bell ROM, do I just restore that ROM from the nandroid backup I made as soon as I installed ClockWork?
If I'm on Pauls G2 Rom (or Cyanogen's ROM), and I do a 'factory wipe', that just resets the factory settings of that particular ROM right? It wouldn't take me back to the stock Bell ROM would it? (very sorry if this seems noobish)
Thanks folks.
Anyone?

Yes, you can wipe and flash Cyanogen. Yes, you can restore apps with Titanium. However, I don't yet understand how this works with "system"-type apps. e.g. what if you are using a different SMS app in Cyanogen to the stock ROM, can you restore your messages ? Of course if you are restoring an app that you installed on your stock ROM, to the Cyanogen ROM then Titanium should do it fine.

Yes, it just takes you back to the factory settings for that ROM that you're currently on. It won't take you back to the original ROM that came with your phone if you've switched to something else.
thank-you very much steviewevie I was hoping you'd respond! I appreciate it. It was the vote of confidence I needed to proceed.

You're welcome. I was pretty confused by what Titanium did at first, until I actually came to use it (along with a Nandroid backup) to do a backup of all my stuff and restore (using Nandroid) after I'd temporarily reverted to an earlier ROM.
I need to revert back to the stock Bell Desire Z ROM as well but didn't make a backup.

Well if you want to revert back to stock rom then use the nandroid backup posted in development section or you can use the PD15IMG which will revert back the rom/radio to MT4G-TMoUS original as you will lose root. I would advice you to use the PD15IMG as its better and then reroot it.

Since I can't post links you can find it on Phatless's sig or under development section. But I will go ahead and send you the link via PM if permitted.
Idk why you would want to tho, stock is annoying and slow! Flash royal ginger instead

Hi
Is there a pre-rooted rom for the MyTouch 3G? (the original version - without 3.5mm jack)
I'm looking for a file that i'll just have to copy to memory card, and flash it.
i prefer the latest version - but any of this are welcome.
Thanks
Ohhhhh... did you check the development section?
You need to root your phone and flash a recovery (I prefer Amon_ra Recovery) then you'll be able to flash a ROM. Please read the dev how-to threads or Cyanogen's wiki - it's not too difficult.

Yes, there is a flashable stock file for the orignal myTouch that is version 1.5. You have to flash it from the hboot. Then there are 5 update files that you'll flash from recovery to get you all the way back to stock 2.2.1. I've got all the files in a folder in my Megaupload account, but can't link since Megaupload is blocked here at work. I'll link it when I get home.
Thanks a lot, i'm looking for it.
Here you go. You only need the sappimg and update files. If you need help flashing let me know.

Hi
i have just flashed the sappimg to my MT3
But at the activation screen i don't see the activate over WiFi - like i was expect to see on a rooted rom.
Do i need to flash all five updates to get a rooted rom?
Thanks for any help.
Woah, that's completely different from what I thought you were talking about. I thought you just meant a stock ROM. Pre-root as in "before root". You can't do what your wanting to do. You'll have to activate and then root using one of the several guides out there, such as the "New school" one in my sig.

Thanks for your effort.
so i had s off for a long time now on my mytouch 4g but tried to flash glacier tmous rom by football yesterday, now im s on but can still get into recovery and flash one of my many backups on rom manager. cyanogen 7.1.0 is the only one that will work now any other rom that i have backuped is not going any further than the boot screen. im really looking to go back to stock but im having trouble finding the stock rom and flashing it . please help, any info is appreciated. when i boot into recovery phone reads as follows:
glacier pvt ship s on
hboot 0.86.0000
microp 0429
radio 26.08.04.30.m3
emmc boot
Search the development section for
pd15img.zip flash via boot. Should put back to complete stock.

i have searched and found that pd15img. zip flash i need to be s off and i am s on, im really trying to go back to stock everything!
Check the ultimate s= on/off thread? Haven't read it awhile but if I remember right down at the bottom of the first post, theres instructions for S= off.
Your post is kind of confusing. You want to go back to complete stock, but then want s off? S off isn't completely stock. But anyway that ultimate s off thread should get you where you want to be.

ive been searching for a good htc evo 4g stock rom so i can root my phone. but guess im bad luck or something and everytime when i run a stock ruu exe it would give me an error stating that i need a complete ruu file. do anyone know where i can find this? ive downloaded at least 5 differernt stock rom exe files and none of them would work! thx
Do you mean stock as in not rooted or stock as rooted, but unchanged?
Edit: BTW, this should go in Q&A if not general.
This isn't the right thread...but try Tommy's classic rom...

What's wrong with your current stock ROM? It should be easy to root what ever stock ROM you currently have on your device with revolutionary S-OFF method.
Firstly you need to do some reading on how to root your phone using either the unrevoked or revolutionary method to then be able to use Custom ROMs. Also, keep in mind that the development thread is only for posting developed work; this thread belongs in the Q&A section instead.
well its my first post so give me a break ok? well i was trying to unroot it with unrevoked but i got a error telling me that my firmware was to up to date. so my plan was to download a older shipped rom so i can unroot it but i guess the file that i have was bad so now im stuck on the main screen with "triangles on all 4 corners and htc logo on the center. i cannot get the phone to bootloader as well.
Are you trying to root or unroot you have said both double check before you send your reply so we have accurate information to help you I don't know what you're trying to do from your posts
