Root how to revert back to original stock phone

[msierra519]

i have a question...i want to root my phone and install the new villain 5.3 rom so that i can have droid 2.1 but my question is, what happens if it craps out on me and i need to revert it back to the way i got the phone from sprint...where can i find instructions on how to do that and where can i find that software?? sorry if this is a repeat question but i searched a bit and didnt find it.

Once you have completed the rooting upgrading process, getting back on your stock rom is very simple, during the process you create a backup image of your phone, then just restore it as and when.

I've installed Villain 10 this morning and I really, really want to go back to 1.5 as the official update is being unleashed at the moment.

I did the backup, but cannot apply it.

Is there another way to back to 1.5?

Thank you

Yes, from the htc site

Yes. I downloaded the stock rom, the htc sync but when i start updating - the villain rom gives me a message "villain updater/uploader? force close" and the update stops.
