How to restore a flashed, rooted Cricket DINC2 back to Verizon - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

First of all, I hope this is posted in the correct subforum and please forgive me if it is not...
I recently flashed my HTC Droid Incredible 2 to Cricket for my girlfriend to use temporarily until she purchased a new Cricket phone. I used QPST to modify the necessary settings from Verizon to Cricket and everything worked out perfectly.
Now, I am wanting to restore my DINC2 back to Verizon and was wondering if anyone knew of a quick method of doing so. I am not sure if I am able to remember all of the different carrier settings I modified in QPST to revert it back to Verizon, so I was wondering if there is another way I could flash it back. The phone is rooted and I have a NANDROID backup of the stock ROM from Verizon, but I don't believe that it would restore any of the additional settings I modified.
I am unfamiliar with what exactly an RUU other than the fact that it is a package of the ROM, radio, etc. all in one. Can I somehow flash a RUU through RECOVERY mode to restore it to a stock (hopefully rooted) Verizon phone? If anyone can please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!

Try an RUU. If it doesn't work, wait until someone who knows wtf they're doing posts

I'm in a similar boat lately. My wife and I have had our Dinc2's on cricket for about a year now and we're about to leap back over to the Verizon world. Did you ever figure this out? I was thinking an RUU would return it to stock, but was unsure.

How to un-root?

Hello all. i rooted my friend's mytouch slide yesterday, and now he wants it un-rooted. i have an idea on how to do it, but i am not entirely sure. I know that i have to apply a google update from the hboot error. I am experienced in hacking android phones, but since i am from the droid incredible community, i am kinda learning the rest. Can anyone supply me with a link for the software. Thanks in advance.

there is a stock image int these forums if you search for it. use that to nandroid restore from clockwork recovery
will that "unroot" the device then? for clarification I was also wondering this question and have seen this same answer before but once you install the nandroid back on then there is no longer signs of rooting, correct? or is it the case of; once it's rooted it is always rooted kinda thing and the closest you can get is to install stock rom back on? Thanks for clarifying...
stock rom nanroid = no root ever(or that's what they think) there is also another thread in dev forum that has an unroot img that you flash from bootloader(same build different method)
returning to the stock img is good enough to return the slide for warranty purposes. & make sure you delete the update.zip file from the SD card. There is no HSPL for the mytouch yet which is what they look for in other devices.
Thanks guys for the great explanation. Makes me feel better knowing its still good for warranty (just in case)!

[Q] removing root/recovery metro pcs

okay so i lost mobile network access recently and basically want to know how i go about removing my root/recovery so i do not have to take blame when i complain to metro.
CDMA htc wildfire s through metro pcs, unlocked bootloader through htcdev, cwm recovery and root access.
stock metro pcs sense rom, just rooted and cwm'd. if even just a link to an ruu i could use to get my problem fixed thanks in advance and have a nice day.

Did you try flashing anyone of this odin one clicks? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Can't tell what you exactly did to flash on verizon so why not just start back fresh on sprint? Ofcourse backup your stuff first..
I had a Droid X from Verizon that I had flashed to boost. If I wanted to flash a rom I had to put the rom I wanted on the phone, then have it flashed to boost. My point is, flashing anything rom-wise would have made it a Verizon phone again. Like doing a factory reset. If you did a factory reset, it'd load sprint stuff again.
Odin safe recovery
Wipe data, cache, etc.
Flash a modem (maybe not necessary but I'd do it)
Flash a rom
Enjoy.

[Q] HELP! My fully flashed Cricket LG G2 is back on Sprint after restore!

My WIFI toggle wasn't working, so rather than troubleshoot the issue, I simply went back to stock, well, in that process my MIN and MDN got reset to Sprint! I was already on Cricket and the ESN is in their network. Any help or suggestions? I can't find a G2 flash guide ANYWHERE, and this was flashed before by a friend.
How did you get it back to Sprint? I'm having the exact opposite problem. I was on cricket and I'm trying to get back to Sprint. They said it couldn't be done.

I accepted an OTA update. If you're already up to date, I dunno. Whoever flashed your phone should have made a backup of all the info, if not, I'm not really sure how else, as I don't believe a TOT restore will restore NAM and all those other settings. My G2 is on the new cricket now, the GSM Cricket, so I just flashed a GSM ROM to it and the SIM card slot works now.

How do I get a T-Mobile HTC 10 back to stock?

I lost the backup I had. It had the most up to date update installed before I flashed it with Viper10. Now she wants to sale the phone but wants it back to stock. I have no clue how to do this and I been searching for a TWRP Backup but I have yet to find one. Can anyone please help me out or point me in the right area so she can sell this phone? I'm pretty much a newbie with rooting to a point. CID is T-MOB10
