How did it break ? Do you mean, the camera lens cover breaking, or the entire camera breaking ? There are many threads on going back to 100% stock technically. You're lucky that you have S-ON. There's no way of getting back to S-ON once you're S-OFF, apart from resetting the tamper flags. May be the below thread will help you. Can you post an image of your broken camera ?

You can go S-ON if you're S-OFF though it's not really recommended it might give a security warning flag.
Being S-ON to go back 100% to stock would not make him lucky.
He can't follow that guide as that guide needs to make changes that you can only do if you're S-OFF i.e Changing bootloader status to locked instead of re-locked.
If anything it's unfortunate that he isn't S-OFF as that would make going back to stock easier.

Too hard to guess from here. It could be either a hardware fault or a software fault. Did you try installing the stock Rom ? If it doesn't work then a repair is a must.
No I haven't tried the stock one yet is there a tread for one?
If u install the stock rom will that make me lose root?

Technically, yes. Most stock roms aren't rooted. Anyways, you can re-root the device by flashing supersu in the recovery.
Is yours an unlocked international One M8, or a carrier locked ?

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.
Liam
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.

Has VZW or HTC ever issued an update or other means by which they have remotely flipped the switch back to S-On? Why is there so much concern about this posted in various threads? Am I missing something?

There are a few who are worried. But overall there is nothing to be afraid of.
Just whatever you do, DON'T take any OTAs!

Basically, it is technically possible to turn a phone S-ON with an OTA. I don't believe it has ever been done however.

I was one of those worried. The only reason I had asked is because if I sent my phone in to get S-Off (which I'm pretty sure I will) and development never really takes off after that, I don't want to be stuck on 4.2.2 for the entirety of my time with this phone. I wanted to know if I COULD take that OTA at some point without bricking the phone. I was told if I changed the CID back to VZW__001, then I wouldnt brick if I did an OTA...

When 4.3 is released, a rooted version will be available within a day or two. There is literally no reason to take an OTA ever.

The fuss is if your phone is ever turned back to S-ON after having been S-OFF, there is a high chance that it will instantly brick itself if you have loaded unsigned firmware onto the device.
If I go S-OFF, proceed to unlock boot loader, install clockwork mid recovery and just debloat my phone or flash a ROM, I should fear bricking if S-ON is switched back on?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but no, no worries with a custom ROM and recovery. Only for unsigned firmware, something like a custom hboot for example.

This is correct. If you flash an unsigned HBOOT and the flag goes S-ON somehow, the phone will refuse to boot because of the failed security check on the HBOOT. Besides that you're fine.

Nothing, all the command does is set the phone back to S-ON. You have to be 100% stock, and I mean 100%, otherwise it can possibly brick the phone

Also.. why are you going S-ON? Generally not recommended to do so
@EddyOS: I know, you must hate me, I keep asking you the same questions in different threads.
Why everything stock? Isn't it enough to revert those things protected by the security flag back to stock? (e.g. radio) One can have a custom ROM, recovery and unlocked bootloader staying S-ON, the phone is fine with that, so why should it be important to revert those things to stock?
Thanks.
it is not 100% stock, it throws a security flag on the m8. even running ruu afterwards will not remove it.

Don't ask me why it's just a lot of people have managed to brick their phone cause they've had a custom HBOOT (to remove the red writing), forgot it and bricked the phone

Yes, there is no way that HTC will not know that you have messed with the phone. You don't need s-on for ota updates, in fact, if you are s-off, you don't even need to lock your boot loader. Anyways, you can just dl ota updates just as easy.

No joke I was sitting on my computer desk with my phone in front of me and I hear a sharp "DINK" and look down and saw my phone was cracked. Needless to say I was rather upset because I treat this phone very well.
I found there is a free one time screen replacement and I sent in for that but if the phone is root at all they will not fix it without charging you the full price even though root has nothing to do with the damn screen cracking.
I have gone back to full stock img and bootloader but want to keep S-OFF as other have recommended they keep it that way.
Does anyone know if S-OFF voids my warranty?

Are you sure you need s-off?
From your posts, I can plainly tell you are a noob. (no offence, that just what we call the new to rooting people here.)
S-on is there to protect your device from becoming bricked when you flash something you shouldn't be.
With S-off, if you screw up, your $700 phone might be turned into a paperweight with absolutely zero chance that the warranty is still valid.
If you want my advice, don't go S-off till you know what you are doing.

I sent a PM then, and have just sent a new one two minutes ago before I saw this post.
Also, I just tried to send a friend request that didn't deliver because there was no friend button for it?
The junior status maybe?
Anyways, the gist of it was this:
I was very mistaken about you. You are obviously not a noob from what I've seen on subsequent posts, you are just an M8 noob. I was in your position once, and I get it 100%
The thing is, on the Q&A, I get sick of the same questions over and over and over.
And also, people getting into soft brick trouble because of s-off.
I have no worries about you though buddy.
You will be just fine. It's not really that hard. Just different than the rest.
It's worth it though. The M8 is SOOO nice!
