so after flashing pauls rom, your s-off got reverted to s-on?
I installed Paul's rom but then tried to flash a stock one on top of that one which caused me to get s-on. The link below explains why I got s-on. I was able to change my version number and go back to stock with a hex editor.

Hi,
If I run the Stock RRU for my HTC Desire will it reflash my bootloader and return to the stock HBOOT? (so S-ON returns)?
If not, how do I do this safely?
Thanks
Running an RUU will put EVERYTHING back to stock - you need to be rooted to have S-OFF
So if I run the Rru. My soff root and flash all go back to stock.
Wondering if that will put back for warranty claim

See my other post
Yes, it puts EVERYTHING back to stock. S-Off returns to S-Off, you become unrooted, your partition tables return to normal (I guess so since it rewrites the Hboot), EVERYTHING!!! I don't see why not for putting it in a warranty claim. To be honest I don't think they will be fussed, as long as you have the stock rom untouched.
I need to get back to stock hboot for warranty, but can't find a way to flash it without using the touschscreen. All the ways I have found use terminal emulator once booted so I can't use them. Is there a way to flash it from fastboot?
Thanks,
Rory

Doesn't flashing an RUU overwrite HBoot with stock one? I know it will leave radio S-OFF but I'm pretty sure that it overwrites HBoot, I could be completely wrong and please correct me if I am.

Nope, did RUU update and stayed with eng hboot with S off
Running the 1.32.405.6 RUU will restore Ship S-ON.
Running a 1.32.405.6 RUU will revert hboot (ENG to SHIP) to stock, but it will not revert S-OFF to stock S-ON if you have Radio S-OFF.
Is there a way to unroot and get s-on back? I'm selling this phone and want to get back to its original state. I have clockwork recovery and I'm running the stock Rom.

Did you use revolutionary or the xtc clip to obtain root?
I just did a simple search around the forum and came up with this. Follow these instructions. It will revert your phone back to stock gingerbread.

This would actually be best. This method will overwrite the revolutionary bootloader and fully revert it to stock with S-ON. You would need to have adb setup though.
I think you can actually just install the Gingerbread vivow RUU executable here and get it done quicker with less effort. That is what I did, and it updated the bootloader to stock.

I used revolutionary to root. Thanks for all the links. I'll check them out when I get to my main computer.
yes this would be the best way to get s-on and fully stock. tried other way but revolution remained with s-off
rootzwiki is what i meant.
I'm trying to unroot my friends EVO. We rooted it back in the day with UNREVOKED. It was the one-click method.
I've searched for guides but can't find any. PLease help.
Again, I am talking about the old Undevoked rooting method we used, not Revolutionary.
How do i unroot?
Flash the unrevoked s-on tool in recovery. Then run an ruu or flash a PC36IMG RUU that matches the version of your bootloader, most likely 3.70.
Go to unrevoked website and dl the s-on file to flash. Ur radio must be no higher than version 2.00.11.19 so u must downgrade that b4 u flash s-on patch. Then just ruu or flash stock pc36img

I am trying to unroot my brother's phone that has 4.54.651.1 on it. Could someone please point me to the right RUU please?
P.S. He was trying to do it himself and he ran the unrevoked file to turn S-ON and he has Radio 2.15.00.11.19 on. What can I do?

If you have s-on, then just run a stock ruu.

I tried that but it fails every time.I get the "ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR / The ROM Update Unity cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
When I try to do it through the bootloader I do not get to the "update" option. It just fails.
I downloaded this RUU and it went through successfully
RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.53.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_209995_signed.exe
I have a problem. The USB port is fried. I cannot use it. How can I then flash a stock Rom? I can download something to the phone and flash it , but will I still have recovery after flashing s-on from unrevoked?
Also what Rom can I flash? It must be zip format.
Where did you get the download from Aloupha?
*Edit* Never mind found it. Trying to unroot now.
Another question. I flashed backed to my original backup and the phone looks stock. Do you guys think I could get my camera lense replaced through sprint without doing a full unroot? Phone looks as stock as they come...

Take the card out, put into a card reader, and put the files you need onto the card, then put it back in the phone.

Well if you are trying to unroot, you would flash a stock rom.

Which, by the way is no recovery.
Well I took my phone into sprint with just a stock rom flash and my phone was repaired without question. Although the rep stated that they don't repair physical damage...smh. I declined to tell him that Sprint has repaired many of my phones of my 10 YEAR tenure.
I have an LCD Incredible with radio version 2.15.10.07.07 and I'm trying to return it back to stock so I can sell it to a friend. I have already flashed the stock unrooted ROM (PB31IMG.zip) and it gave me back the stock recovery, I read that I should flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip via CWM but my radio isn't on the supported list and I don't want to brick the device. What should I do?

Go here and flash the 7.28 Froyo radio http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=18 that should do the trick. This is assuming you flashed the Froyo RUU.
I flashed the Gingerbread image, I didn't use the RUU because I was having problems connecting.
I believe you can still flash the Froyo radio. If not just flash the Froyo Ruu, you can also get the PB31IMG file for it at pvillcomp.com. Then flash the 7.28 radio. If you do this, the phone should receive the OTA gingerbread update.
Thanks, that's what I figured. I just downgraded to Froyo to be on the safe side.
Edit: I just flashed the S-On zip via CWM and was curious if it would replace CWM with the stock recovery, it didn't. So now I have a phone with S-On and CWM, what should I do?
Go here, grab the stock recovery and flash it in Hboot. I'm not sure if you will have to reroot first or not. Give it a shot and let me know.

You should be able to run the PB13IMGwhatver zip again and it will give you the Stock Recovery and Stock Rom.
My advice would be to run the newest Gingerbread Stock PBIMG so as to not have to downgrade, then boot, then download OTA, then run that and so on. Simply flash one PBIMG and be over with it
Hope this helps....
Yea, I figured that's probably what I could do. I downloaded the stock recovery and tried to flash it but it wouldn't go. HBoot detected it but never asked me if I wanted to apply it.

Thats because your s-on now. S-off is what enables us to flash radios and custom recoveries like clockwork. You need to do and ruu, either a PB31IMG.zip thru hboot, or the ruu.exe with a pc. That is the only way to get the stock recovery now that your s-on.

Not entirely. I've had 2 HTC heros and 3 HTC evos both with s+on straight from start and theyre all rooted with custom roms. I had an evo shift with s-on but it died on me.

s-off / on is not the same as root. A phone can be rooted and still be s-on. However the only way to flash an unsigned file thru hboot on the incredible is with s-off. As far as i know htc has never officialy released a signed recovery only file. So in order to get the stock recovery while s-on you would have to use a signed ruu. Thats all i was trying to say.

This is what I tried to flash but it didn't give me any option to update it.
