Well, the time has come and I've got a new phone coming today. I struggled a bit putting my HTC One M8 back to stock so just trying to get the ball rolling for the 10 now. I looked around but didn't find any thread with a clear cut way to go back to stock from a rooted/bootloader unlocked phone. Anyone have a link or any tips or anything?
Thanks in advance.

Easiest way is to just run an RUU on it. Go here and grab the latest RUU.exe from OMJ. https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257
It's an executable file that runs on your computer while the phone is plugged in. Make sure you back up any data on the phone because it'll wipe everything and overwrite the whole shabang.
Perfect, thank you.
I remember having issues doing the same on my M8 but that was quite some time ago so didn't know if there was a guide or something out there. I'll give this a shot after I've got the new phone up and running for a few days.
Thanks again.

No worries.
Just read the thread OMJ has and you'll know what to do. Only thing you'll need are HTC drivers, but a lot of times Windows automatically downloads the right one. Not always though. If you have any trouble with the drivers just give a shout. We'll help you find them.

Does RUU flashing restore the stock recovery too? Or do I have to reflash stock recovery after or before the ruu is installed?
Does ruu installation remain the sd card untouched or is it better to get it out from my device?
Thanks

RUU flashes the stock recovery as well. No need to flash anything after the RUU has been applied. It doesn't touch your SD card, but I'd remove it just in case. You never know when an SD card could get corrupted.

Thanks for quick answers, will flash ruu this evening! And indeed, it's a bit of wisdom to get the sd card out of the device

Hello,
I ran the radio OTA, followed the instructions, and after it rebooted itself it is just stuck on the htc incredible splash screen. If I hold power down and power I do get in to the boot loader, but rebooting still hangs on that splash screen. I read through the OTA thread and I didnt see any mention of this problem, any ideas?
Also, if I put PB31IMG.zip back on and let it do its thing, it tells me the version is too old. Any ideas?
did u wipe?

I'm having the same problem, and I just ran the 2.15.00.07.28 radio zip. To be honest I didn't wipe first as I thought I didn't need to. I did run unrevoked forever prior to attempting this install. I was going to right before installing CM6.. but obviously I didn't get that far. I did run a nandroid backup before hand.
So right now I'm still staring at this htc incredible splash screen. Holding power or volume down or both doesn't change anything and I'm afraid to take out the battery. Any suggestions?!
Thanks
edit: ok so I read on the 2.15 release thread that some others were having the same problem.. Am I safe to pull out the battery and try a reflash?

OK, what are you trying to do? Sounds like you are trying to install the leaked OTA from early July (the one that gives 720P video recording)?
If that IS what you are attempting, it sounds like you already have it otherwise you wouldn't be getting that main version is older message. Check your hboot version, if it is .77 that is stock, .79 is the newer one I think
Are you sure you are using the correct PB31IMG.zip? The one you want is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726791
If you are trying to unroot and downgrade to an earlier version then you want to follow directions per this step-by-step video:

No, I was trying to update to the most recent radio from stock radio. Or do I have to update another radio inbetween? I got the zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752436&highlight=stuck+splash+screen, for 2.15 radio
or were you talking to the guy before me

My fault, I misunderstood.
No you can flash any radio, just dont flash the same one twice, or step on any cracks, and never walk under a ladder!
I just went from 1.03.04... to 2.05, and now just installed 2.15.. I didn't have any problems at all.
My fix
I had this exact issue, where it hangs on the HTC Incredible boot screen after trying to update the radio. I could boot into HBOOT (voldown+power) after a battery pull, and when it tried to update my PB31IMG.zip file, it would give some type of error, and when I would try and go into recovery it would jump back to the HTC Incredible boot screen and hang again.
I determined that my problem was caused either by a bad radio or bad recovery flash from the PB31IMG.zip file I had downloaded. I pulled my SD card and plugged it into my laptop using the MicroSD-to-SD adapter, deleted the PB31IMG.zip file, REDOWNLOADED the file from my laptop and stuck it back in the root of my SD card, the put the SD card back in the phone and rebooted into HBOOT and reflashed the radio/recovery. Problem solved.
I don't know if that will work for everyone, but it is exactly what happened to me.
Hope it helps,

Yeah, unfortunately this is not going to work for everyone. I was permanently disabled after trying this method. I'm still lurking around for a sure fix to avoid the same issue on my new phone.

Yes my phone was bricked using that method. I'm trying not to overuse the term "bricked."
Thanks for all the help.. but once I pulled the battery and turned the phone back on, apparently it booted up just fine. I guess it just needed a little push in the right direction. Once I checked the settings, the radio was indeed flashed. I got really worried over nothing I installed CM6 and everything is just fine.
I have flashed my phone over and over trying to get Puzzle Rom to work properly. Finally got it all working and upto now really happy with it although......
I would like to be able to flash it with the stock rom so that when Froyo comes out I can let it update to that. I would also like to have the 3 network software back on it as I liked being able to have live messenger etc and my3 so that I can check my usage.
I downloaded the rom from shipped roms but it is a RUU file and I don't know how to put it on, can anyone help??

Just plug your phone into your computer and run the RUU.exe on your computer.

Sorry, I presumed you had already created a goldcard. See this for all the instructions on creating a goldcard (do this before flashing) and how to flash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741651
A goldcard makes it so that you don't get that error.
Everywhere in this wonderful forum I read that it is very easy to go back to a shipped rom. Just download it, click the exe-file and follow instructions.
BUT: I unrooted my WF and flashed the Puzzlerom (very good rom, by the way). Now when I try to install original rom, it says that I've got the wrong bootloader on my device. The one on my device seems to be newer than the one the shipped rom expects before install. So the RUU halts and no flashing.
I think we have to have this sorted out. I think many people will want to try the new official Froyo for Wildfire, which will be out soon, we all hope. So you have to go back to original rom, don't we?
Anyone who knows how to handle this?

extract the update.zip from the rru (google it), copy to sd and choose install update.zip in fastboot
Also try:
Boot up in Bootloader
Then chose Fastboot.
plug phone to pc and run patch. worked for me

That's definitely something i would love to know.
Thanks.
Btw, any chances you might know how to go back to original recovery rom? Now I got clockworkmod done in by unrevoked3. Not sure if there is one thou as I only come to know the existence of recovery portion after unrevoked.
Just asking for knowledge. Thanks.
Hi all, thanks in advance for any help and my apologies if this exact problem has already been resolved. I searched through this forum and found issues *similar* to my problem but nothing exact enough for me to find a solution.
My experience with Android is limited but have quite a bit of terminal UNIX experience...so I'm not a total noob and I can follow directions pretty well.
I purchased a MT3G from someone and everything seemed to be in order when I checked it out (and the price was good, so I figured I didn't have much to lose). He was running Cyanogen Mod on there but of course I wanted to restore to factory settings and build it up from scratch on my own. Thinking that I knew what I was doing, I booted into Recovery (Home/End key simultaneously) with no issues and ran the factory reset utility, thinking that this would just drop the phone back to factory settings and I could re-root it from there. When I turn the phone back on, it just hangs at the "splash" screen and runs the animation over and over again.
I can still boot into Recovery and I can get into Fast Boot so I hope I am not bricked.
Here is the output I get from Fast Boot (attached file).
I tried to restore with a SAPPIMG.zip that I found but it said wrong device...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

If you get an error, you need to download an engineering spl, and then try. (Engineering 2010 SPL)
The link and instructions are around somewhere on XDA.
Thanks for the help!
Unfortunately I already tried that and it didn't work, so I guess I'll install the Engineering SPL when I get home.
Shouldn't I in theory just be able to flash another ROM over this one and have everything be back to normal?

Yes sir, that is the easy way!
there are plenty of 1.6, and 2.2 roms out there.
Just download to sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe and flash
Don't flash any SPLs. Your fine as long as you've got a custom recovery. Just flash another ROM from there and make sure you wipe data, dalvik-cache, and cache before flashing. I've been running CyanogenMod 5.0.8 since the summer (CM6 ran like crap) and I've been happy with it so far.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Unfortunately I already flashed a different SPL and then un-rooted my device!
It works great, but now in order to get 2.2, I have to root it again which is a royal pain because I don't have a microSD reader and based on my research, the only way to root it it to make a goldcard!
Doh well! Learn something new everyday!

Not true you can root using the this app then use rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery. This is how I helped my friend root his device.

I'm trying to reflash the stock WM ROM on my Vogue, but I keep getting Error 260 in the RUU. My phone is currently on an Android ROM (the latest Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo, which I installed yesterday) but I should note that the sdcard wasn't being read by Android, and my phone can't mount to be viewed on my computer.
How can I revert back to the stock ROM now?
Thanks for any help.

Error 260 is a connection error (sorry for being so obvious). Can you post the exact steps that you are following to flash?
Haha yeah, I know it's a connection error. I've done many flashes so it's weird that it doesn't work anymore.
I press the power+camera+reset buttons to go into the tri-colour screen, plug in the phone to my computer, run the stock Bell RUU and then get the error.
Tried this at least 5 times now, restarted my computer a few times, tried different USB ports. No luck. =/

I had to ask since I needed to make sure that you were doing the right thing . You mentioned also that Android is not picking up your SD card. Try to put a nbh rom file in the root of your card (hopefully 2 GB or less), stick it in the phone and reboot into bootloader. The device should pick it up and try to flash from SD. If this doesn't work, then I am afraid that you may have a bad board in your phone.

Ah, the thing is that the 512mb card that came with my phone stopped working the other day, so I've been using an 8gb one instead, and I'm too far from any computer store to go and buy a smaller one.
I did try the .nbh trick but I'm guessing the phone wasn't reading the card.

Try to get a 1 or 2 GB and see if that works. If it doesn't.... I think your phone may be toast...
