Restore to factory

[crazycray]

I am trying to reinstall the RUU but I believe bc I have CWM installed, it won't work. I tried different things and I am stuck. I know my PC recognizes the device b/c adb devices find the device. Is there a way I can send an image thru fastboot or something to the phone that would install the RUU image and restore my phone to stock form factor? Or is there anything else that I can try?

Thank you.

Why not search for a PG58IMG?

Okay, how do I do that after I find it?

push adb PG58IMG? and where can I find the default one? Thank you

Also, I think when I do a hard factory reset w/ volume down+power, it just loads up an older ROM. Any idea why?

Is your phone rooted ?

If you put a PG58IMG.zip (make sure it's the right one for your phone), in your SD card, it will automatically flash it in fastboot, before doing enything else.
Just make sure you rename it (or delete it) after the procedure is done, otherwise everytime you go to fastboot it will automatically flash it again, and again...

Yes, it used to be rooted. It might not be anymore..

I believe the PG85IMG.zip file that I have on my microSD is the file for CWM? I can't remember if I replaced it w/ the original after I completed the root.

I can't seem to find the original PG85IMG.zip file anywhere on xda...

Finding your PG85IMG.zip + RUU

Ok, based on your CID, find the right PG85IMG.zip for your phone here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Then, *if* you have SuperCID, you can download the right RUU from here, and intall the .exe

Okay. I will see if this works. Last time I was trying some fastboot or adb commands, it said "waiting for device" and nothing happened. Any idea what might be causing that?

"waiting for device"

That usually has to do with outdated drivers. Make sure you have the latest HTC Sync installed on your computer. That will also provide the latest drivers for your device.

Then sync your phone with HTC Sync (so that HTC Sync detects it).
Open the terminal, and go to the directory where you use adb.
Then try the adb commands

SuperCID commands in case it's not SuperCID:
(You will need it in case you get a "InvalidID" error while installing a RUU.)

>> adb reboot-bootloader
>> fastboot oem writecid 11111111
>> fastboot reboot-bootloader (Wait for it to reboot)
>> fastboot getvar cid (it should confirm your CID is 11111111)
>> fastboot reboot"

Dude, thanks so much for all the help. I am at work but will try all this stuff out when I get home from work. I hope this works.

Does SuperCID get removed after installing the RUU? I'm certain I did not do that step when I first followed the guide b/c it was kind of over my head at the time

No worries, anytime
No, you SuperCID once, then it stays... till you throw your phone off the window, or , i don't know But it stays

Does that void warranty?

Hmm, i guess no, because you can restore your original CID with the command:
>> fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx
(where xxxxxxxx will be your original CID)

Just make sure you make a note of your original CID, before making the whole procedure. Get it again with:
>> fastboot getvar cid

>> fastboot reboot"

So, I still got the waiting for device message. I was able to writecid 11111111 and i believe it was successful, but when i type the command again, it doesn't work and i get the waiting for device message. I am not able to get HTC Sync b/c I have a non sense ROM installed. Furthermore, I cannot get the RUU to reset the phone. Just says "Rebooting to Bootloader" and then I get an Unknown Error and it says ROM Update Utility cannot update my phone.

Hmm, that's sounds confusing :$
Right, you said that command: fastboot oem writecid 11111111 , worked ?
Ok, could you tell me your HBOOT version ? (when you're in the bootloader)
