I have an HTC One, that was a replacement for another phone. It came pre-installed with 3.11.605.1 update, and s-off via Firewater (running the Firewater hboot). I need help returning back to complete stock, with a locked bootloader, and s-on. since I need to send it back in for Warranty. Please and thank you.

I currently have the 1.10.605.08 RUU from an older HTC One, Do you think I'm able to use that RUU on this phone, even if it came with 3.11.605.1 pre-installed from Verizon?

as long as you are s-off you can use any of the RUU. But if you do use the older ones, you will need to update OTA to the latest or VZW will know.
you can however download the latest one here:

Are you in RUU mode?
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
To be honest, they won't even check if you're rooted or running a custom ROM. They will immediately RUU and see if the phone is usable.

if you are already on the firmware.
flash a stock OTA build and then flash stock recovery then just lock bootloader then s-off. they wont know a difference.

I've tried doing that, but the thing is that I forgot that the Bootloader is relocked, so I have no way to flash the recovery. I'm rying to find a way to bypass it, but so far, no luck.

Now we ran into another problem. As I locked the bootloader, and put back s-on. Now the phone only boots up into the bootloader, it says
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED***
*** Security Warning***
I'm basically stuck here since it wont boot up into the rom. I'm guessing that we'll have to RUU it to 4.10.505.3?

Simlock
Check SmartSD

it will boot into stock recovery and take a little bit.

If your bootloader is unlocked then after flashing the rom, you have to flash the boot.img from the rom using fastboot
Thanks doesn't hurt....

Flash a RUU that is compatible with the hboot update, but you need what build version you are currently running...
When I got my M8, I achieved S-OFF using Sunshine. I have to do a warranty exchange.
I am now trying to flash stock RUU, but flashing fails with the error
Code:
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) shift signature_size for header checking...
FAILED (remote: 32 header error)
I googled around and someone said this is due to a corrupted zip, but I checked the zip's md5 and it matches with the one on this forum. Any help is appreciated.

Did you happen to run the gpe ruu?
Yes, I flashed the GPE RUU, I then followed instructions in this post
Flashed the firmware mentioned in that post
Flashed TWRP
Restored Stock Nandroid backup
Changed the Cid to Tmobile Cid
Relocked the bootloader, becasue I think flashing stock RUU requires a locked bootloader
I then flashed Stock RUU, but I can't seem to get past the above erro.

Here's what worked for me on the same issue.
1.) Change CID to 11111111 (SuperCID)
2.) Flash firmware file from post.
3.) Flash TWRP
4.) Flash ViperRom through TWRP, and allow to boot.
5.) Run T-mobile Ruu.
I never bothered to change my CID back to T-MOB010.
This worked for me. hopefully it helps.
Hmm, well I have a question.
Since I already restored Stock Nandroid, can I just flash Stock recovery, relock the bootloader and remove the tampered flag.
Is the result going to be any different than going via RUU method?

If you are S-Off, I don't believe that bootloader lock state matters anymore for ruu. I never relocked my bootloader. You can try flashing the stock recovery and relocking the bootloader to do the ruu. I was really just trying everything I could think of to get back to stock. I left my CID at SuperCID, never relocked my bootloader at all and everything has worked for me.

This is what I think I am going to do. Keep S-off...And everything else stock. Although I might lock the bootloader for security (plus it's so easy with Scotty1223's method).
But I'm also thinking...how do you do nandroids? Do you just run a custom recovery from ADB (without actually changing the stock recovery on the phone) and create one that way? Or do you use the HTC backup? I have never looked at the HTC backup, but I assumed was for sd data only.
Also, I know getting SuperCID essentially de-brands your phone...But what practical use does it have?
i want to flash stock recovery because i want to update ota i already have re locked my bootloader but when i try to flash stock reocvery i get following error in command prompt

All things regarding flashing needs to be done with an unlocked bootloader. Except ruu files on a s-on system.
Hey guys,
So I have a Developer Edition M8 (HBOOT- 3.19), and I went through multiple steps trying to get GPE onto it. Since I'm posting here, I screwed up along the way, and Google hasn't been to helpful. To put it simply, I do not have an OS on the phone right now, and need to flash stock back onto it, and am having trouble because TWRP recovery no longer wishes to run.
Here's what happened:
I was following an outdated guide to getting GPE (I didn't know it was outdated at the time) and it said to flash insertcoin in order to be able to use firewater to get S-Off. I flashed insertcoin, realized firewater was no longer supporeted, and felt like I had wasted a few hours. I then found sunshine and tried to use it, but insertcoin was not close enough to stock to be compatible, so I tried to flash a stock ROM I found on this thread here onto the phone. I am fairly certain I downloaded the correct file, as the HBOOT 3.19 leads to the 3.xx file, and my CIS is BS_US002, so I downloaded the 3.28 file available. I took the zip, placed it onto the phone, and wiped insertcoin, and tried to install the stock ROM. Well, it failed.
I went back to the drawing board, actually read the instructions, and did this: I placed the unpacked zip into the TWRP/Backups folder on the phone. I then used fastboot flash recovery FILE.IMG to flash boot.emmc.win from my computer to the phone. Now, when I try to go into recovery to wipe and recover, it no longer enters TWRP. It is stuck on the HTC screen.
What do I do from here? My main goal is just to get stock back onto the phone, and I hope I did not mess up the phone.
To put all phone info in one place:
HTC One M8 Developer Edition
HBOOT- 3.19
CID- BS_US002
Thank you!

Hi!
I need a help.
1. I have S-ON device
2. I want to flash RUU 6.12.401.4. I am on same firmware, but have Google services FC and Sense home FC. I did factory reset in recovery, and it didn't help. So i want to reflesh same stock rom.
3. My bootloader is LOCKED
4. CID: HTC__032
I have used this RUU.zip file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960687057
And when i flash it, I have signature verify fail error in fastboot. I dont want to UNLOCK bootloader.
Look at ss. All getvar info and RUU flashin error on ss.
Because you use wrong fastboot (generic) to flash the RUU.

Thanks ckpv5, i will try now. I am sure it will work
@ckpv5 this is different, finally. I have to flash twice RUU.zip?
No .. only once for RUU.zip
Flashing firmware.zip usually require you to flash it twice.
