Trying to return to complete T-mobile stock, I was previously on ARHD,
1.I flashed the Odex ROM,
2.Sideloaded the T-mobile Firmware update, that updated the hboot, radio, recovery ect. *Unrooted* at this step.
3. Ran the Official T-mobile RUU
4. Now I am stuck at Trying to get S-On, and then relock the bootloader. I see both options here in the All in one. The option for s-on gave a huge warning, about having the stock RUU, and Hboot. Any assurance in just pressing the button without messing up anything? If I get S-on, I then can just Relock the bootloader correct?
I've asked here in the thread that has the all in one. 19 hours ago with NO help.

Please someone help me going back to factory reset with custom rom and also i want to lock bootloader and turn s-off :crying:
I'm totally confused! its showing s-on right now, should i need to s-off it?
I don't think its possible to turn s-on to s-off right now, the phone is still too new with much to explore.
Besides...i think before you need can do any of this stuff, u definitely have to unlock your bootloader.
Anyway, the last few steps that you followed in htcdev in unlocking your bootloader explains how to relock your bootloader. Whether it relocks the factory bootloader lock, that remains to be seen.
Hi all, I need send my m8 back to htc for warrenty repair. I bought it standard and unlocked bootloader and gained s-off. Also flashed twrp recovery and custom ROM. I network unlocked it myself using a zip you flash in hboot as it was on O2. The cid is 11111111 so finding a stock using the cidndoesnt help as I can't remember what cid it was before. Can anyone help please? Can i use any cid stock as i unlocked to any network? Thanks very much. Ashley.
Bit the bullet and give it a go myself.

So followed it word for word and its perfectly fine apart from wont boot in to recovery which doesnt bother me aslong as it looks normal. Also used fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 to get s-on now i can send back after i argue with them about the bootloader unlock on htcdev
Hi
I need to send my phone back for a warranty repair but I am confused about the exact steps to take.
My phone is currently S-OFF, rooted, has a TWRP recovery installed and has the latest Vodafone (VODAP001) stock rom installed.
What steps and in what order should I act in order to be left with a phone with a LOCKED boot loader (not RELOCKED/TAMPERED), unrooted and S-ON?
The instructions in a particular online link talk of locking the bootloader and then flashing an RUU but I can't find one for my Vodafone variant. (CID: VODAP001)
I have been going round in circles for the last few hours.
At one point I did lock the bootloader and then did the s-on but ended up in a boot loop to the bootloader - (probably because I forgot to unroot?)! Rescued it using the HTC Bootloader unlock code, reset and then rerunning Sunshine for S-OFF.
I can't seem to work out what to do without an RUU file.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi everybody,
I'm sorry, I'm sure this question may be asked so much time, but after 1 hour searching I don't find anything usefull for me... (Maybe a keywork issue ?)
I don't know what I've done, but after I locked again the bootloader in order to flash on a RUU, I blocked my HTC 10 and can't boot on android again.
When I tried it the phone is only going to bootloader mode and don't want to get to my Os. I have TWRP and was on the custom LeeDroid 7.0.
I can't backup or do anything and while i try the dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota on the terminal, it won't work...
And I can't unlock again the phone, I've tried and it's "relocked".
Has someone have the same issues ? Really need your help ! :crying:
Thank you !
Why did you even lock the bootloader to flash a RUU? Is that mandatory? Sticking with Lee is always a better idea .
You might wanna try using a RUU.exe to get your OS back. What firmware and model do you currently have?

Yes it was lol...
But i've read that it was better to be on a locked bootloader to flash ruu :crying:
Yes, you need to lock the bootloader to flash an RUU.
Some people like custom roms, some want to go back to stock.
From the bootloader you can go to download mode and get the unlock token and try the process again to unlock, I would guess. Beyond that, I'm assuming the RUU screwed up somewhere. It is generally not possible to flash an RUU unless the phone matches the RUU's CID and MID parameters. And if it didnt work, the RUU wont have gotten far enough to do any damage.

I've re-unlocked the phone but it won't install the ruu but i think i've made the good RUU choice from the HTC website (was this one : on the website HTC us/support/htc-10-t-mobile/news/)
And i got an error 155 (ERROR UPDATING IMAGE) can't update your android phone.
But i've checked and i'm CID: T-MOB101 | MID: 2PS620000 on my HTC 10 ...

so you can't flash ruu with a unlocked bootloader?? thats odd...people use rru to get back to stock after running custom rom and you shouldn't lock bootloader with custom firmware bc it supposedly bricks you...or is download mode still operatable?
edit: i just flashed an ruu to check and can confirm ruu worked with unlocked bootloader and s-on.

Fair enough, advice I followed at the time suggested I relock bootloader to do an RUU. Being S-ON or OFF doesn't matter.
However, since there was no RUU for my CID (H3G__001) I had to S-OFF in order to change my CID to WWE (HTC__001) to flash that RUU. My phones status at the time was S-OFF, Relocked. It worked fine. It also worked fine under those same conditions after I changed my CID to BS_US001 and MID to 2PS6500000.

Isn't the US MID 2PS650000?

The download mode works, bootloader too
I'm not able to flash with an unlocked or a locked bootloader, i've tried the RUU and the custom ROM like Leedroid for example.

I don't think it's the US MID, my IMEI is German and the phone works great on 4G / LTE in France (where I live) and i've read that 4G won't work with an US version in France, but maybe you're true and their is no RUU for my version ... (fragmentation pleasures).
Do you know how i can s-off this phone in order to change those CID which block me ? ^^' because i can't use sunshine bc no OS installed and can't flash one ...
In fact, the only think i can flash / unflash is TWRP and the recovery stock..
