{GUIDE} Unroot and back to STOCK via HBOOT

Here is what I did to return to stock unrooted:

1) Download latest RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki...tle=HTC_Speedy
1.5) Install latest HTC Drivers on computer from here http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNe...73&news_id=907

2)Boot into Bootloader: Vol down plus power

3)click on fastboot

4)connect USB to computer and phone

5)when screen says fastboot usb run RUU on your computer
5.5) Dont worry about errors about usb being connected just exit RUU and try again. It took me a few times before it finally took.

6)When done you will be stock and unrooted.

If this helps you please don't forget the thanks button.

Thanks skibit for the PM. OP was updated.

My story

Here is why I posted this.

My wife wanted her phone back to stock. So I searched around for about an hour looking at all the different ways to unroot. I finally chose the way I wanted to do it using the PG06IMG. After running it the phone was S-ON and Root Checker was still saying phone was rooted with busybox and the custom ROM was still installed. I was still able to get into recovery but wasn't able to get s-off again. So I tried to install the the lasted stock ROM via CWM but it caused the phone to get stuck at the splash screen (prolly because of S-ON). After about 5 hours of searching (I did find posts to do what I ended up doing but they weren't detailed and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working) and piecing things together I finally found a solution that worked. Hope this helps you.

I never understood fast boot and the s off. What's that?

I have applied the latest OTA from Sprint. Will this process allow me to set my phone back to stock re-root and/or flash one of the new, ROOTED Gingerbread ROM's?
