Hi, I was planning to send my phone to the support for a problem of trackpad + hinge.
I have rooted and s-off my phone, I have clockwork recovery and eng-hboot.
I removed eng-hboot with a guide on the forum, but now I don't know what to do.
I read discordant thread:
1) "Do not flash a new official RUU/ROM/OTA if you have root and/or S-OFF"
2) htc vision wiki, return to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock
In the wiki (2) I read that I have to flash the stock PC10IMG that is is completely discordant with the thread (1) that says to not flash it.
What I have to do!?!?
I have to follow htc vision wiki?
If I remove root and if I return to s-ON can I install stock PC10IMG with RUU?
I have to make some other things to return to real stock and send my phone to the htc assistance?
(now I have installed virtuous sense 2.0, with software version 2.42.405.2)
Thank you

If you flashed a non-stock recovery (eg. CWM) there's a link in the sticky to the stock recovery; I'd push it to your device first just to be safe.

I cannot find anywhere a guide which explains how to unroot and restore HTC ONE X to stock. Please post a link or explain how can I do it? I want it restored to full factory for warranty purposes. Thanks.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 go to this thread and follow steps 1-8 at the very bottom of the first post. note that you will need stock recovery.img and the ruu matching the software you had on your phone before you rooted or flashed custom rom.
(please note the above guide is for the international Quad core HTC One X).

This link has what you need
http://onexroot.com/one-x-unroot/how-to-unroot-rooted-htc-one-x/
Hellloo xda...is there anyone who can gimme a proper step to step guide for unrooting my htc one v.
1. Download the HTC Asia India RUU from Football's collection in the development section
2. While that's downloading, relock your bootloader using the command
Code:
fastboot oem lock
3. Open the RUU. Find the temp folder it created and open ROM.zip from inside it with 7Zip. Extract the recover.img and flash it
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Run the RUU and your phone's status will be *** RELOCKED *** and unrooted.
So why do you want to unroot?
Whenever I install custom Rom my sd card and WiFi doesn't work...soo I installed custom Rom without having a nandroid.backup.that's y I was asking.neways thanks a lot for replying.this. is my second one v(replacement)
sent from my sexoo one v
My build number is1.56.720.2 and the ruu is 1.58.707.3.what should i do now??
how do i find the temp folder??..
What is the use of other images???in rom folder..does this stock ruu flashing fixes error?
So what exactly are you trying to do now? Before you said unroot the phone, then you said install custom ROM in a later post.
could you also please find a way to help me? my htc one v freeze forever after i turn it on, please help me
Assuming you're on stock rom, have you try factory reset in bootloader ?
Do you know your software version or cid no. ?
He sent a pm telling me that his phone is rooted and he flashed a zip file that supposedly increases the SD card speed, and apparently causes soft bricks too
I think the only thing to do is re-flash the RUU because I don't think he did a backup in CWM Recovery.
Roxas84, please confirm.
I see.. if he can send the file, sometimes do a revert.zip will help. The easiest is reflash the same rom.zip with wipe cache & system. It should correct the error.
Hey dudes,
I was going to start the same thread but since this is open I want to ask you one question:
If I root the phone, flash cwm, and then I want to return to stock (for warranty purposes) how can I 'uninstall' cwm? Because for unroot I know how to do it, but uninstall custom recovery I never done that even on my older phone - Htc hero.
I'm not new to recoveries, custom roms, flashing and all this kind of stuff, but this is a problem that I don't know how to handle it since I didn't needed to uninstall the custom recovery in the past.
TIA!
L.E: To Answer my own question:
D) ROM is stock, bootloader unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted
- download OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store
- run the OTA Rootkeeper and click protect root
- no need to relock bootloader
- boot to bootloader and fastboot flash the stock recovery
- run the OTA update
- Once done, run OTA Rootkeeper and click restore root
Thanks @ckpv5 for these awesome guides
I just summarized this thread in the following tut but with much more detail:
[TUT] Re-flash stock ROM (RUU) after bricking a rooted device (for noobs)
Roxas84, follow this tut if ckpv5's suggestion above doesn't work.
1ceb0x, it will also show how to revert to stock recovery.

i need help cause mine is a koodo one can sombody link me to a thread to unroot the htc one v
Just restore the nandroid backup you made before rooting your phone.
Hello guys, I want to unroot my One V but I have a problem. I don't find my RUU. HBOOT says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PRIMOU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
Radio-3831.18.00.282
eMMc-boot
Which ruu should I use?
Thx!
Dude you don't look here you look at your software number in settings
Oh! My device says 2.19.666.3 and again, there's not RUU with this mention...
I have an AT&T M8 with 4.4.3
Its unlocked and rooted, firewater was unsuccessful with this error....****** device patched by HTC, you are out of luck *********.
Is there any way to return to stock without S-Off?? If so could someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm a newbie with htc and very aggravated with this phone.

Can you provide me with the link that says you need to be S-OFF to get your phone back to stock, where you clearly didn't have to be S-OFF in order to take it away from stock in the first place?
I'm asking this because you are one of many that I've seen recently that comes on here asking the same question, can I go back to stock while I'm still S-ON ? "Should I be S-OFF in order to restore a nandroid backup?" etc...I would really like to know where you guys get this information from?
The only thing that you'll need S-OFF for(when going back to stock) is to fix the tampered flag in the bootloader and to have it show "locked" instead of "relocked" when or if you locked the bootloader.
That being said, going back to stock from where? Did you flash custom ROMs? Or are you only rooted and unlocked?
My phone is stock, but unlocked with root, my main goal is to reload the original recovery, relock and unroot.
I was watching a video on how to use RUU and according to the instructions you had to be S-Off.

You need S-Off only when you want to remove TAMPERED and RELOCKED flags.
Other than that, you don't need S-OFF
You have AT&T device, AT&T forum is where you'll find more info.
Try this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486
Important note :
S-On - you need to relock bootloader first before running it. So read and read the instructions
and there are many more guides on AT&T forum

You could use the AT&T RUU that is available on the AT&T forum.
At&t 2.23.502.3 - 4.4.3 Bootable RUU - No PC required - Mac friendly
Like the OP there said, if you are S-ON you should lock the bootloader first before using the RUU. I think that should take care of most of the other issues you have, like unrooting etc. Make a backup of any personal stuff you have on phone.
Or
Download unsupersu, flash it in custom recovery to unroot device. If you use SuperSU you can also go into settings for SuperSU and use Full Unroot. Reboot phone, can then uninstall SuperSU. Should be unrooted.
Flash back stock recovery for your device.
Relock bootloader - fastboot oem lock
Will this also restore the factory recovery instead of twrp that is on the phone now?

That's also in that very same thread we linked you to!
Post number 7
Post number 15
But I take it you didn't read at least the first 2 pages...
It'll take you back to stock completely, like the OP said in Post 15.
Just remember to relock your bootloader seeing as you're S-ON.
Thanks for your patience and help,
it worked flawlessly.
Hi all,
I'm really out of touch with the scene so please go easy on me.
I rooted my European M9 a while ago and have TWRP recovery installed, S-On, Software version is 2.10.61.6, Baseband is 01.01_U11440601_83.06.50709G_F
The other day I got the Android 6.0 OTA update which I was not expecting as I was under the impression that since rooting (as has been the case with all my other Androids) OTAs would be disabled.
Just to see what would happen I accepted it, the device rebooted and of course loaded TWRP. So that's a no go.
Could someone please tell me what the best way of updating without having to lose all my data is?
S-off is the best and only way to save your data. Otherwise you need to go through the complex process of getting it back to official status.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
OK, what's the best way to get S-off? I see there's a $25 app some people are using, is there an alternative to that?
No alternative. Sunshine works great but be sure to read twice and press the button once..
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
OK, thanks for the advice. So if I get S-OFF via Sunshine, what's next?
I have a full backup of my system before I rooted, can I not just flash back the stock recovery and then proceed with the OTA?
If not and I need to be S-OFF still then fine, just trying to understand why that is.
Thanks!
S-off just makes life easier for being able to run unsigned code. Like, unsigned roms will install.
If you flash the stock backup you still need to obtain official status to take the ota. This is known to bugger your phone if you get it wrong. S-off solves the buggered phones issue..
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
OK, thanks for clarifying the info.
I'm now rooted, unlocked and s-off.
The backup of my recovery partition is "recovery.emmc.win", what's the process to flash that back to the phone and continue from there so I can accept the OTA?
Another thing - It's possible that I accepted another OTA since making that backup as I'm now on 2.10.61.6. I can't find a stock recovery for that version so does this affect the process?
Bump! Can anyone help me out here with the correct guide to follow please? Really don't want to mess this up!
Hi JonnyG1980, I am happy to help you but don't suppose you could upload your backup as I have been looking for it for ages?

My stock recovery backup? I'm not sure which version that is taken from as I'm pretty sure I accepted an OTA to get to the version I am on now.
Download the orange RUU.zip from here and place on your sdcard rename to 0PJAIMG.zip boot into download mode and it'll prompt you to flash make sure you backup all your data etc beforehand as this will wipe your device

I'm trying to update WITHOUT wiping my device. Hence going S-OFF.

Hi Liam, where / what RUU?
I am trying to get back to some release of stock to get the mm ota.
I think I have three choices?
1. Restore my 1.32.16.x backup and take the 2.10.61.x again then on to MM but I need stock 1.32.61.x recovery
2. Restore someone else's 2.10.61.x backup?
3. S-off
So if anyone has either 1 or 2 I would be very grateful.
Thanks -

Yes but I need the specific RUU first!
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Sorry if I'm repeating myself, but could anyone explain the benefits of S=Off again to me?
I've tried various RUU to update my phone and all have rejected the CID (ORANG001) so I've had no option than to use one with a matching base (x.x.61.x) to my existing rom. I was under the impression that the CID was made irrelevant or could be changed, but I can find no reference on how to go about this.
As I couldn't find my current RUU, or the latest MM release I had to go with 1.32.61.15, has this downgrade been permitted by being S-Off?
If you didn't change your CID then being s-off enabled you to downgrade.
As a reference, I am still s-on and cannot downgrade to 1.32.x from 2.10.x

Thanks, I think I get it now. Now just the question of whether to re-root or not remains.
Hi johnny did you achieve s-off? If so, how? Also, did you get to download and install the ota?
