If this has been posted, kindly post a link, but I have S-Off and rooted, visonary will unroot, but how would I turn S-On for warranty etc? I saw a thread on the MyTouch4G forums, but that method didn't seem to help for us. Any guidance would be great. Hopefully Paul will add that to Visonary in the future if possible.

My Desire HD got a problem with the casing, the battery-lit will not fit properly. I need to send it back to HTC for repair but my device is rooted. Customer support have told me I have to pay for this repair because rooted devices don't have warranty. I have rooted my device myself but forgot what method I used, here some info from bootloader:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.2007 9PD9810000)
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.06.04.14_M
eMMC-BOOT

1. How can I fully revert to stock without leaving any traces?
2. I have flashed another radio, will flashing a RUU rom change this back to stock?
3.Does a RUU rom change ENG S-OFF to ENG S-ON?
Thanks for your help!
1. I personally would use any one of the methods mentioned in any one of the MANY MANY threads already about this matter in the dev section. See my link in signature.
2. A stock RUU ahould do yes but don't hold me to that.
3. Unsure but see #1.
Did try a search, but no results on ENG S-OFF or ENG S-ON. Your link doesn't explain anything. So please help and post some relevant links to these so called MANY MANY threads.
Ok, I did a search for "Revert to stock" and the following thread came up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403&highlight=Revert+stock
Talks about ENG S-OFF and reverting to stock.
hello to all my wildfire unfortunately has a reception problem and I have to send it under warranty. I made the root and s-off. I installed the original firmware but I always hboot unlocked. How can I do?
Sorry for my bad English
No way to revert it back to s-on so far.
Actualy, hang on...
I think there's a way.
Go to the Alpharevx IRC chat and ask there, they might have the solution.

Hello,
About a year ago, I rooted and S-OFF’ed my HTC Desire HD. I ran a lot of custom ROMs and was very excited about custom ROMs. About a week ago, my volume button came off. I wanted to return it to HTC, so I downloaded a RUU and installed it. I couldn’t get it to become S-ON again, so I decided to fix the volume button by myself (it’s completely working again, thanks to glue ).
Now I have the stock software version 2.50.405.2 with Android 2.3.3. My bootloader gives the following information:
Code:
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot

So, in a weird way it seems to be S-OFF, but I can’t flash a custom recovery. I’ve been trying to root my Desire HD for about 6 hours now, and I really can’t get it to do what I want it to do. I tried it with AMT ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037315 ), and SuperOneClick. But everytime I try to use GingerBreak V1.20, it keeps hanging on the screen where it tells me to wait. I let it turned on and running for about an hour, but it doesn’t work. (Before the Desire HD can be downgraded , I have to root it first. As far as I know.)
This is what I think is happening: The bootloader has to be ENG S-OFF, instead of SHIP S-OFF. But to achieve that, I need to downgrade, and before I can downgrade, I need root acces.
Am I doing something wrong?
I searched everything, and I can’t find it. If I missed something, my apologies.
Can someone help me to restore ENG S-OFF (so that I can install a custom recovery and run custom ROMs), after being S-OFF and flashing a RUU?
Thank you very much in advance!
If I didn’t supply enough information, please tell me, and I’ll give it.
I'm getting pretty desperate, as everything I try fails. I hope someone in this awesome comunity can help me.
Kind regards, Tom.
You merely need to fastboot flash a recovery.img. Instructions are part of post #7 in the link in my signature.
Thanks for your reply!
I thought that I posted a reply a couple days ago, but it seems not to be placed. I might failed to press the "post" button.
It's fixed now, I flashed an ENG S-OFF HBOOT (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248608). Now, I can flash as much ROMs as my DHD can!
Hello there,
I need some help returning to stock since I've gone too far with the desire and no idea how to go back.
I have an orange branded desire which is rooted and S-off'd and I'd like to unroot it. I'm not too concerned about taking it back to orange branding, just a generic RUU would do (if it's possible, because I'm not interested in goldcards). Right now I'm on Android 4.4 and the HBOOT version says "6.93.1002"
I'm fairly competent with fastboot commands if necessary and just need help with taking this phone back to stock. If you have any more questions let me know and I'll answer.
Thanks in advance
Use the 2.3.3 GB RUU
If you want to be full S-ON unrooted, you may need to flash the alpharev downgrader first before flashing the RUU

I'm not too fussed about S-ON unrooted, quite happy to keep it S-off without going through all of that. Is this the file HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip
because I couldn't find the one you named in the stickied thread. This came from the #resources section.

Yes thats the one. Just extract the zip file and the ruu is inside. The one in bortaks guide i think he named it 2.3.3, its definitly there anyway
I need to send my One in for repairs and wondered if I need to switch back to S-On? If i do can someone point me to a guide or directions on how to do it.
There is a thread in the General section.
