I am having some really bad battery issues. I want to go back to bone stock so that I can go to verizon and see if I can get a battery swap. Right now I am running cleanrom GBE 1.6 based off the OTA. I am unlocked, obviously. I dont know how to run a RUU, or which one to use. Im not new to flashing, but very new to HTC
Thanks so much in advance for all your help. Can someone help me? maybe just write what I need to do.

There's no need to get back to stock just to do a battery swap. I walked in the local store yesterday and asked to have my extended battery checked because it just didn't seem right. After the usual reply of all smartphones use the battery extensively (well, duh!), I informed the chap that I had been using cell phones since 1991 beginning with the Motorola bag phone and was quite familiar with battery consumption.
The chap said they couldn't test the battery there so in that case he would just swap mine for a new one. Never asked to see the phone or for me to show him anything. Never asked what I was running app-wise much less if I was on the standard Verizon bloat ship. He wouldn't have known from looking either.
Thanks, will give it a shot. I'd like to go back to stock just to start fresh as well. Any thoughts as to how? I mean I have read over and over the forums, but there is no stpe by step guide for noobs to htc.
Why haven't we updated the topic to 1.7? it out and it's running smooth!
Is it really as easy as this? Amon Ra recovery flash, then hboot? I was going to wait for ICS ROM, but the 1.5.5 I'm using has been smooth and terrific. Want to try this to see how the battery improves (hopefully) and willing to wipe and start building again.
This looks too easy, lol.
Have the normal Nand and Titanium backups (won't ask if I can restore from them, Scott) so going to go for it.
One other thing, should fastboot be off?
I went straight from 1.6.5 to 1.7 also. I booted to HBOOT and then went into recovery. Wiped only cache, dalvik and system. Flashed the ROM and sat back. Automatically rebooted to HBOOT, asked for a yes or no confirmation, pushed the power button and voila!
The only thing I noticed different was that on the last reboot, the phone actually shut down. I waited for what seemed like an eternity before I decided "What The Hay" and pushed the power button. Phone rebooted like it had been waiting on me the whole time.
I also swapped extended batteries with the local Verizon store yesterday so this will be interesting, breaking in a new battery with a new ROM.
Everything seems to be working just fine. In fact, the phone itself seems a little faster using Sense.

Scott has abandoned AC for now, it seems. Actually, he's probably on another board. He said he got a Galaxy Tab and wanted to focus on that more, but I expect him to be back and in full Rezound swing whenever ICS comes.
I wouldn't say abandoned, but he's certainly busier than in the past. Let him enjoy some down time and the spoils of creating ROMs that are universally liked.

I was shocked at the easy of flashing....
