[Q] Need S-ON Before Returning Phone

Hi- I had my phone rooted with s-off and stock 2.1 ROM with a few mods. I have managed to flash a stock 2.1 ROM that also put back stock recovery but it would not run unless I was s-off. Now how do I get s-on? The stock recovery would not accept it.

UnrEVOked Forever now supports going back to S-ON

Here is the link to the tool, just read up on that link if you are unsure of anything.

Yes I used the s-on tool. Now I am stuck at s-on with clock mod recovery. I need to get back to stock recovery but I can't get run a stock recovery update with s-on.

Just run the 2.1 RUU stock zip again.

I tried the 2.1 RUU It is an .exe and I was told I needed HTC sync to run it. I installed HTC sync and it would not run.
How do I run the "RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe?
I installed htc sync, got it running, plugged in my phone, chose htc sync option, then tried to run the .exe
I'll try again now on another machine.

I can extract the stock recovery and other files out of the ruu.exe file but what do I do with it. In only need the boot loader. As I said I have stock ROM and s-on.

Damn. I titles this thread wrong. I have s-on and stock rom, I need stock recovery. I also need to get this done before I leave town. I'm going to post the question with a proper title for the thread. My apology and moderater please remove this thread.

Resolved
Problem solved with the PB13img file provided with Diego Mejia's 2nd video. Worked perfectly. Did not even have to do all the adb pushing of sys files since I never put in the leaked OTA. His file version was just accepted by hboot. Awesome!

[Q] Unrooted Dinc S-OFF Question

I was having issues with my phone about a month ago. I had rooted it using Unrevoked 3. I decided to go back to stock so I downloaded a PB31IMG.ZIP file a reloaded it, loaded the 2.2 updates and loaded the last update from Verizon. It was the third time I've had to do this so I decided to keep it stock. I noticed when I would go into recovery mode that it said "INCREDIBLE XC SHIP S-OFF" on the first line. Does this mean my phone's security level is set to S-OFF? If so, is there a way to change it on my unrooted phone? I downloaded the S-ON zip file from the Unrevoked site, renamed it update.zip and tried to install it but it would give me the E:failed to verify whole-file signature error each time. I want to get my phone back to S-ON just in case I have problems with it and I need to return it under warranty. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The security is independent of rooting, as you have discovered. Rooting is at the level of the ROM itself whereas the security is at the bootloader level.
The only way to turn security back ON is with S-ON tool. In order to do that you need a custom recovery (clockwork)..in order to install clockwork you need to root. So you did everything backwards.
You'll have to root, install clockwork (if you have stock recovery right now). Then run s-on, then LASTLY run an RUU.
The RUU will replace the bootloader, recovery AND ROM all back to stock. You can flash RUUs with S-ON because they are signed/official.

Could someone help me?

So I'm trying to flash my phone back to the stock rom, and unroot it cause i need to use my warranty to receive a new phone. So I attempted to flash back to the oldest flash i had in recovery, and yet it wont flash back to stock, i even tried to clear storage and such. And yet that still doesn't work. So i was wondering can anyone or point out the way of helping me get the original stock roms and how to unroot it. Please and Thank you.

What you need to do is flash the RUU for your Hboot...if on 2.10...use the 3.70 RUU and if on the latest, use the one appropriate for that. You can do the RUU by downloading an exe of it, or in the bootloader via PC36IMG file [easier]. Be sure to run the unrevoke s-on tool in recovery to get s-on BEFORE running the RUU.

Stock 2.3 PB99IMG.zip

I need to get my rooted Desire back to stock, to get it repaired under warranty. I flashed the alpharev downgrader. My phone still says it's s-off. If I flash the RUU zip, will it be s-on. I only have a Mac with osx and ubuntu, so I would have to set up a virtual machine and download a cracked windows to get that ruu zip or run the exe. If someone has the official 2.3. update RUU zip, I was hopeing for a dropbox link or something.

1) Yes. If the downgrader is flashed before RUU, it will overwrite the bootloader, returning it to the S-On state.
2) 2.3 update RUU.zip http://goo.im/stock/bravo/HTC_Desire_Android_2.3_Upgrade.zip rename to PB99IMG.zip if it is not named that way and place into root of sdcard. Boot into bootloader to flash.
Hope this helps.

Unrooting help please

Kay well I just unrooted my Evo 4g and flashed the unrevoked forever zip and flashed the pg update but Once I get to boot loader it still says s-off I need help to make it say s-on or whatever it is suppose to say

You have to flash the s-on tool <---
Then you want to run an RUU <--- from your PC. I would choose the 3.30 which was still froyo, which is rootable with unrevoked. This is an .exe file and is just double clicked, on your pc, while the phone is plugged into usb, it walks you through it.
You should now be s-on with no custom recovery. As long as they don't do the upgrade for you you will simply be able to re-root using unrevoked.
