Default Unrooting and firmware restoration

Hi,

I'm trying to revert my htc to it's factory state with the default rom provided with the device and unrooted.

I was able to restore the backup made by using the recovery options frim Mvx method but i still have all the recovery options available instead of the limited ones provided by factory, how do i change this?

I already tried executing the following commands:

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system –w

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

But i get some errors , can anybody help me?

Thanks!

You could revert, flashing the original RUU.

I was able to do the process you described with sucess, but what i really want is to recover the backup made with nandroid and leave the device unrooted.

You have to root the phone, flash the recovery (recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img) and simply delete your apps uploaded to the phone to root it up, example: m7, tattoo-hack.ko, su, flash..etc! WITHOUT replace the patched boot.img by Mainfram3.

Then you can start to make your nandroid backup without root.

if you want simply un-root your device you've to reflash the original stock boot.img and delete apps uploaded to the phone to root it.
but I suggest you to start by a clean flashed stock rom.

any chance for a quick tutorial? or at least a link to a post explaining? or it's enough just to flash one of the oficial ROMS from the other post?

all that you need is on top of "Click Android Development" forum's section.

btw you've to follow this to flash your Tattoo with the latest firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603286

then root it with the links provided by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645742

I suggest you to do it by the hands and discarding the 1-click root.
