Root Return to Stock from Root? HELP?!

Hello everyone :),

First of all Im relatively new to all this stuff so bear with me!

Okay so I have rooted my wildfire and it runs the Cyanogen mod.
All I want to do is wipe EVERYTHING and return it to it's original state just how I got it out the box basically!
I am in the UK and on the '3' network so basically I want it just how it used to be.

Now what I've done so far is downloaded 'Wildfire__3uk__Backup__as_frm_factory_', put it on my SD and restored it using the nandroid recovery when you turn the phone on and hold down the volume - key.

Then when I booted it up again it was like 'Welcome to the HTC Wildfire' etc and I signed into my Google account. All my installed apps had gone, but when booting, the Cyanogen mod boot screen still appeared and SuperUser and other Root required apps are still there.

But anyway HOW do I get it back to its original state is the main thing.

I hope I have supplied all required info and sorry if this is a repeat, I have googled but I cant find a good explanation.

Thank you to all in advance :)

Hey Morgan

Here is some info for you copied from XDA Developers courtesy of 42turkeys, if you get stuck or anything go on the link i gave you, near the top of the page there is a red button, click in and hope he's online for help

Since your on 3 UK (like me :D) use:
RUU_Buzz_H3G_UK_1.16.771.2_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131501_signed.exe

Unroot

These RUU programs that you use to unroot are Windows only, but fortunatley I wrote a tool for Linux called OpenRUU so you can flash them on there. If you are a Mac user, take a moment to ask yourself 'Why am I using a Steve Jobs product?' as there is no way for you to run the RUUs.

First, we are going to identify what RUU you need to download and flash then download it. (Bravo is the codename for Desire, all RUUs use this name)

1) Go to shipped-roms.com, click on the Android Robot then click on Buzz. Now, you need to recall what version of Android you were on before you rooted. If you had a carrier supplied device you should also get the one that is applicable, but if you are unsure or your carrier is not listed go for one that says WWE. (World Wide English - All Languages) Or come on our IRC channel for advice.

Note: HTC Sync must be installed before continuing. The next step will also wipe all your apps + settings!

Next we're going to run the RUU, this should take around 5-10mins. DO NOT touch your phone during the flashing process!

2) Double click on the RUU file you downloaded in step 1, read the readme, and click to start the flashing process.
After it's done! Your phone now should be completley back to stock status!
If you get an error during the flashing process, try again and then come on our IRC help channel for assistance if it persists.
