I recently got a replacement INC2 because of this phone is beatup and I need to send it back to Verizon for the warranty. I used RUU to unroot my phone and everything was stock then I just noticed that it's still S-OFF in the HBOOT screen.. The phone is deactivated, I can;t turn it back on to root again and get rid off S-OFF. Is there any ZIP files like PB31IMG that I can use to reverse it back to S-ON??

Why can't you root it? You are S-Off. Just flash a recovery, flash unRevoked's S-on script, and then reuse the RUU
Edit: read the op wrong.
Listen to what he said above me. You don't need service to root or set back to s-on.

Is there a way to turn s-off to s-on through hboot? I am trying to do everything to return my phone to stock before i send it in for repair or replacement to the warranty company.
unrevoked forever can only be used through recovery, which i have no access to and can not reflash. i have another thread on reasons why (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208084)
Thanks in advance for the help
Hey XDA peeps so i got my phone back from sprint it got fix up long story short I was ready to put back revolutionary back on my phone from some same strange reason my backup root is not working none what so ever also i am still kind of rooted with S-on my bootloader is still unlock now when i try to run the files it ask what am i doing i am already rooted long story short i am fully rooted with S-on but i want it back to S-off but every time i put the pc36img file it want update any suggestions. And yes i did remove revolutionary from my phone because i had to let sprint look at it.
I would try running revolutuonary and that will give you s-off.
Try running the RUU on it and then rerooting.

That's the only way you are going to fix it. You likely have the 6.17 HBoot (a modified 2.16 HBoot), which thinks it is still the 2.16 Hboot that you set S-OFF. Find and run a 4.53 RUU in order to downgrade the HBoot back to 2.16, then reroot using Revolutionary.
okay i will i hope i can find 4.53 RUU
Hey i was able to find root I am back to regular stock mode in the morning i would and am going back to ROOT. thanks
Stock Aplharev
PVT4 S-OFF
hboot - 6.93.1002
radio 5.11.05.27
I do the update from HBOOT because phone can't turn ON
it says can not roll back hboot
bootlader says bypassed, then all is ok until radio it says fail
Topic for jurvyx
radio brick, you can't fix it, but you can restore your warranty and ask HTC to gix it for you
turn the phone on, it automatically will go into RUU mode (which is the same as fastboot), and just plug it in. Don't worry whether you can't see the bootloader or any of that bollocks, just follow the instructions.
Use CMD, Android Flasher or fastboot commander to flash the "downgrader" from Alpharev.
Download the 2.3.3 RUU from htcdev.com (link available on my guide in #resources)
run the RUU
Call HTC and make up a fantasy about how you tried to update your phone and broke it.
****, i don't have warranty.
i will go to service tommorow. how much would it cost?

everyone has warranty lol... it's 2 years from what I hear.. unless you bought it 2nd hand, also I don't even know whether a radio brick is fixable, I think HTC just change the mainboard
Last two days I was googling and saw that in most cases, when phone is radio bricked, people can't turn on phone (even in bootloader).
I haven't lost S-Off (yet!) so maybe I can flash someone working radio from fastboot?
Can someone upload their hboot.img, radio.img, recovery.img..?
But it's need to be PVT-4 compatible!
I don't want to pay service to HTC before I shoot all chances.
Hi!
I have a rooted HTC DHD and I want to put back to S-ON for waranty reasons. I have a certain RUU that I want to flash when returning to stock. I have extracted the rom.zip out of the RUU.exe. How can flash this rom via AAHK when setting S-ON
Thanks for advance !
I think there is a return to stock option within AAHK, not too sure where though..
When you fall, don't expect anyone to help. Expect the floor
Start the hack kit and press i think o. Anyway AAHK comes with a ruu which it uses when restoring to S-ON.
This is something I have never needed to do before. But how do you reset phone back to how it's was recieved from carrier
As in relock & turn s-on to on state
My phone need to go back to HTC for repair so any help would be appreciated

If you have a stock ruu for your phone, first flash that.
The only way I know to lock your bootloader and avoid it saying "relocked", is to go back to s-on first, then back to s-off/Locked using Sunshine, and then s-on again.
S-on command is (in download mode)
