i want to remove cyanogenmod & revert to rooted stock!

[bluedimensional123]

I successfuly rooted , Cyanogenmod 10.2.1-dlx. It was a stumbly road for me, fully grasping the steps (which now, i get it), S-off, waeksauce, SU, then the ROM.

my issue: after S-off, weaksauce, and SU, i was rooted, able to use the great apps etc, and had my stock - still tuned as it was before. was GREAT. none of that required a FULL wipe of my apps and data. Then i flashed Cyanogenmod, and as great as much about it is, (i had it years ago on HTC Incredible) there are a few issues that i CANNOT stay with.

• Gmail account contacts / sync is all kinds of screwed. (not worried about cus all backed up and will get resolved)
• My MHL adapter - usb misco to HDMI adapter - not supported
• The HTC stock camera i LOVED. slow motion video camera i NEED. I hate the cyanogenmod camera. my instagram - www.instagram.com/benjamin.blue
• and other(s) i forget this moment.

point is, can i uninstall the ROM and go back to the previous state of ROOTED stock, as oppposed to starting from scratch? and if i have to start from scratch, kindly point me towards quickest steps. If thats the case, i WILL now backup everything via titanium backup AND MyBackup Pro.

guessing i could use the backups i SHOULD have in CWM recovery, assuming i made one pre-cyanogenmod, and pretty sure i get md5 errors trying any restore.

thanks for patience - i have indeede googled like hell before making this post, on top of many full nights of brain implosion.

EDIT - see next post - all i want is to unroot completely.

You must wipe data and cache when changing ROMs. App backup apps can cause some issues, so restore wisely.

i have been searching far and wide and am desperate to get my DNA back to stock, so i can activate it and use it again. i am trying every bit of sense and good advice and tutorials and my brain is just exhausted. i know i can get this, i just need a little help.

i have relocked it, and followed the instructions for running the RUU - RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed - exactly, and keep getting ERROR 155.

one thing i notice is during the RUU, it says going "from image" "to image" the from is blank. i click update ROM, it fills the "to" field with the RUU, 1.15, and, it runs for a minute ish and i get ERROR 155. Thanks guys I am really having a tough time.

i just tried again with new download of RUU. same results.

Why did you relock it?
Why didn't you just flash a stock rooted rom and be done with it?

 

[bluedimensional123]

probably because i didnt realize what i could or couldnt do along the way. i'm pretty noob and created a mess, a phone that boots up, into cyanogenmod, but will not activate. now i just need to get to square one.

Since you flashed cm, then your stock ROM was overwritten unless you made a backup. You'll probably have to reflash a stock from and setup everything again.

i'm ok with that - exactly what i'm attempting.

this is what you were referring to, right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525.
doing that i keep getting ERROR 155, searching what that could be. (now if i boot to CM recovery, files are missing, telling me the RUU install may have begun to overwrite files...but doesnr get too far.

by stock ROM you meant RUU as mentioned in thread above, right? as opposed to adb sideloading a zip ( "reflash a stock rom?")

im not sure where i went wrong, and at this point all i want is to get my dna to be able to be activated and have cell service working. (currently it boots up into CM, verizon tries to activate it, says it looks right on their end, i receive their test text, but, dialing anything, i get "mobile network unavailable.) so you can see, being not too apt in all this, there may be more than one way to get where i need. whether back to total stock, or able to activate in its current state - i'll take it.

i hope that all makes sense, i'm so appreciative for any of you guys' help.

The thread you referred to is to ruu (return to completely stock). If you can boot into CM, then do that and download Santods stock ROM in the development section. Then go into recovery and flash it.

Will try that for sure. I am still preferring to RUU and I keep getting the ERROR 155 - if can run that I can be at square one which is OK . I will try your suggestion though.

That ruu zip should work if the exe is giving you trouble. Be warned: ruu will wipe the internal SD, so back everything up before flashing the ruu.

That will happen and continue to happen, if the firmware on your device is newer then that of the RUU.
If you can downgrade your firmware, then you may stand a chance of flashing that old RUU.
But since you have relocked, I'm not sure you can.
I know you have to at least be s-off to downgrade, maybe unlocked bootloader isn't needed.
But I think that it may be. Good luck. :good:

If it were me, I would go back to unlocked and s-off.
Then flash latest firmware and rooted stock rom and be done with it.

 

[bluedimensional123]

thank you so much for the last few suggestions, i'm just wanting my phone back to stock i'm losing my mind.

could any point me to the way to downgrade my firmware to successfully run the old RUU?

Ive tried running the new RUU and i, as above, get ERROR 155. excuse my noobness, the help is great.

if i cant get this thing back to stock, so i can activate it - my goal - im gonna shell out the $100 and get insurance replacement. this is too complicated, but im not giving up.

thanks
ben

should running the newer RUU possibly finish installing? have tried but will again.
