[Q] - Going back to OEM out of box State - Telus - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
My current HTC DHD is rooted and running Android Revolution 6.3.2 with S-Off.
Is going back to stock/OEM/out of box as simple as running the following RUU on my computer with device connected?
Will it flash my radio and baseband back to original as well?
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_194001_signed.exe
Thanks in advance!

Yes it will.
Running the RUU will also unroot the device but s-off will remain.

If i remember correctly you can run the original s-off tool to go s-on again. Also it will be able to update your CID back to the one necessary to flash the RUU again.

No, but if it was for warranty purposes I would go back to son aswell. Se people have been fine sending back rooted phones while others haven't. It depends on whether the person repairing the phone bothers to look

Thanks - actually, I'm just doing this because I have to install the 'GOOD for Enterprise' client which requires the phone to be not 'rooted'.

[Q] Reverting for repair

Hey,
I know there's already a thread on this but I wanted to ask which order I need to carry out the process and any help would be greatly appreciated. I need to return my DHD as there are problems with the speaker. I have a new radio, eng-off, s-off and a custom ROM. Which ones do I revert first in order to return to stock without messing up the phone?
Thanks !
You may be able to get away with sending the phone back even if it's not on a stock ROM. I have read other posts on here where people have sent their phones in for repair with custom ROM's and HTC have not been bothered about it, and whenever you send your phone in for any type of repair - they will always wipe the phone and re-install the phone with the latest stock ROM.
From what you have described about the problems you have got with your phone, I imagine the first thing HTC will do before doing any physical repairs on the phone is to re-flash the phone with the latest stock ROM to see if it fixes any of the problems on the phone.
My DHD has been back to HTC twice for the same camera blur problem and I had previously rooted the phone, Radio S-OFF and installed a custom ROM but then I did revert it back to stock with Radio back to S-ON right before I sent it back to HTC for the repair. The first time it went back HTC, all they did was re-flash the phone with the latest stock ROM and sent the phone back to me and hoped that it cured the problem. Within 10 minutes of getting the phone back I knew that the problem was still present and then within a couple of days it was back with HTC again for the same problem and that is when they finally physically repaired the phone.
Edit - from what I have just found out, it doesn't matter which ROM you have installed but the most important thing is to make sure that you revert the phone's Radio back to S-ON before sending it back.

Thanks, so I just have to get radio S-on back? What about eng-on ? I used the two tools to do it originally, so I'll just have to use them again ?

Yes that's right, just use the tool to revert them back to ON. When I did the process and after I used the tool to revert them back to ON, I just downloaded a stock RUU ROM that you run through Windows and then the program re-flashes your phone back to the stock ROM.
Liam
i would back to stock, just in case... i really don't think htc bothers with it, because it's way more simple to fix the phone than fight against the client.
but, since with the original RUU is very easy to back it to stock, i don't see why you shound't do...
regards!
Ok thanks. I have got radio back to S-ON but I still have eng-off. Will this matter? I can't seem to find out how to revert it back to on.

Did you read the instructions in my tool's thread? It says pretty clearly there that you should run stock RUU
I've been thinking this for a while, since I have an issue with volume rockers (they aren't as outside the chassis as a friend's) from the very first moment I bought.
Does anybody have this issue? or think it's a hardware problem HTC would repair?

When you install an official RUU you revert to original factory state. I believe bootloader,root,ENG/SOFT-OFF etc... dissapears

almost everything desappear by flashing original RUU, except Radio S-OFF, that can be changed by jkoljo's tool.
but, since you lose the root when you flash RUU, you will root your phone again with visionary, after that, use the jkoljo's tool to get s-on, unroot and uninstall visionary. done, just it.

You need the flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then run the RUU. That will return you to stock firmware.

hboot 0.94 comes with 1.28, this means you won't be able to run a 1.26 RUU - you can only run 1.28 RUUs or newer. If you can't get the 1.28 RUU for your CID you won't be able to run a RUU. You can still flash custom ROMs though, so if your phone is bootlooping that's your way out.

Are you on vodafone UK? The 1.28 RUU is available for that carrier.
Even after relocking the bootloader and running a RUU, it's impossible (without S-OFF) to remove any trace that you unlocked it. The repair centre will still be able to tell.

Essentially no. Once you unlock it, even if you relock it it won't be exactly the same. The bootloader will remember that it was previously unlocked and repair centres will be able to see it. That said, restoring the RUU is better than nothing, but from what I've heard the repair centres like to bill you for a motherboard replacement if you unlock your device.
UK law does give you a large degree of protection if you wanted to take it to court though (assuming you're returning it due to a fault that was not caused by unlocking the device)

[Q] S-On Tampered Locked Secruity Warning

I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags. Can't find an encrypted RUU or figure out how to encrypt the one I have to get this rolling again, can anybody give me a clue or anything on how to go about doing this or getting this thing functional again?

Yes, it always says:
FAILED (status read failed (too many links))
Probably because its 2.10 RUU and mine is on 3.11?
Yeah an s-on phone wont allow you to flash an ruu version older than the one already on the phone. And unfortunatley, we do not have the newest ruu available yet.
So there's nothing I can do but wait? I was pretty sure I had everything flashed back to stock but once I turned S-ON it wouldn't let me go past the bootloader. My phone's sound completely stopped working so I was going to take it in to get it taken care of, but I guess I can't do anything at all now.
You can probably still flash the RUU if you get the correct one i would assume. I've reset the tampered flags before also. I always made it a point to flash the older RUU's before flipping s-on for a warranty return, because it is so much easier to get s-off in case I mess something up, so not sure how being on that newer firmware is going to play out.

Can I or can I not flash an older RUU?
How do I get a hold of a signed RUU? Is it the one that says decrypted?
Will this at least allow me to wipe the phone to where it does not say tampered?
I could have sworn I have tried these RUU's but I get a remote signature error.
No if you are s-on you can not flash an ruu which is an older version than the phone is currently on.
The signed and decrypted (not signed) ruu's can be found at the bottom of the second post of santods rom radio kernel thread in development. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621
In order to remove the tampered flag you would need to get s-off again. I believe there is a new exploit for 4.2.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51481200, if you want to go that route.
Remote sig error is because you were trying to flash an unsigned ruu while s-on.

If you want to go to stock it has nothing to do with supercid.Since you have an supercid device your phones mid should match with the mid of the ruu which you are flashing.The best way is that change your mid to WWE version and flash WWE stock rom and its ruu.This will take you to the stock rom and also you will regain your warranty.This will make your phone that it came from the factory itself.You can follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235

Do NOT go s-on after achieving S-OFF. You have the possibility of a lot of bad things happening, including having phone that won't boot with a security warning. There is a thread on it somewhere. Scotty1223 wrote it. Leave it S-OFF. If you have a backup up of stock. I would restore that, in the development section there will be a guide to get rid the tampered flag. Then flash stock recovery. After than you "should" don't quote me on that. Should have an unlocked bootloader stock recovery and S-OFF. Then, change your "unlocked" banner to "locked" not relocked. "Locked" there is another thread somewhere, written by Scotty1223. I'm on mobile so it's kinda hard to find these threads and post it. If you can't find them, next time I'm on my computer, I can post the websites.

Returning to stock issues.

I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my new M9, unlocked, s-off also.
Found out that I have the battery is faulty, so I need to return it to stock, and get it back the shop for a replacement.
However, I stupidly didn't make a back up of my stock rom.
The CID of my phone is O2___01
I've downloaded the stock rom from this site, and flashed it using the RUU command. However when it flashes, then tells me to reboot, it still has Android Revolution HD on it.
I've spent a few hours browsing the forum, and still I've come to no avail.
Any help would be well appreciated!

You don't provide much information so it's hard to help. So let's start at the bginning: What firmare version are you using? (It's stated in Download Mode in the line with "OS" at the beginning.)
You tried to flash a RUU? Which one? Have there been any error outputs? If yes, which ones? Since you're S-OFF flashing a RUU should not be a problem at all so these outputs are very important if you want any help.

As far as I know Sneakyghost doesn't provide any RUUs. Those are only firmware packages that do not contain a rom. So it's no miracle that you're still booting ARHD.
You can download O2 RUUs from here, here or here. Any of the X.XX.206.X files will work since you are S-OFF. Do you have a SD card that is not bigger than 32gb? If yes, format it to fat32, copy one O2 RUU to its root directory and rename that file to "0PJAIMG.zip". If you then boot to Download Mode you will be asked to push the Volume Up button and the RUU will start flashing. If it reboots to system instead of rebooting to Download Mode you will have to power off your phone and boot to Download Mode manually. The RUU will continue then. At the end you will be asked to push the power button so that your phone gets shut down. If you now start your phone you will be back on a stock system.
Be aware that there is no RUU for your current firmware. Since you're S-OFF that doesn't matter but your phone will be downgraded at the end.
Ahh no wonder! haha
Going to try this shortly, so will let you know how I get on!
After its flashed, I'll be good to lock again and go s-on? Then return to the shop?

Relock only after you successfully tested that your device is booting normaly. After that you theoretically could re-S-ON. (But I would never do that because there is always a risk of hardbricking your phone if you re-S-ON and there is anything still modified that you didn't notice. For safety reasons S-OFF should always be considered as a oneway.)
Edit: I'm not completely sure but I actually doubt that they will check whether your phone was S-OFFed or not. If I think about the people who are working at the O2 or vodafone shops in my city I would say they do not even know what a bootloader is...
Agreed, use the s-off command to change back to "LOCKED" and leave it s-off. Too much of a risk otherwise.
If in the unlikely event they see it, you can play dumb, because a few rare people have gotten s-off phones from the factory and it doesn't prove you did anything.

Didn't the RUU flash the corresponding stock recovery?
