Current status when i open bootloader :
*** Software status: modified ***

M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
Please someone help me on this, please adjust that i dont know anything on this.
Thanks in advance
First off, if you don't understand how to root the phone, you shouldn't have a rooted phone. I firmly believe this. Rooting the phone isn't that hard, and if you aren't willing to put in the time and effort to learn about how to root it, its probably dangerous for you to have the phone rooted.
You are unfortunately now in the spot where you will have to learn a lot just to get the phone back to a stock condition.
Do you know what version of the phone you have (carrier or region?)? What hboot number?
If you select recovery in bootloader, and a red triangle (or green circle if an update is loading, but likely red triangle) with exclamation point is shown, that is stock recovery. Anything else is custom recovery.
Hey Thanks for the reply,
I'm from India & i use Indian version of M8.
i couldnt find my version main number :/
My HBOOT is 3.19.0.0000
Radio 1.22.2133114741.29G
OpenDsp
Phone Relocked & S-ON now!
When i clicked recovery on bootloader it showed "Security Warning" so i did not proceeed further.
What to do next, please help

Ive just receive my htc wildfire s from the repair shop after hard bricking it by myself, they manage to bring my phone back to access bootloader but still stuck on htc green and white logo when you just turn it on,they used jtag method..my problem is I dont know what firmware should i use to flash my phone and bring it back to stock gingerbread firmware..
here is my bootloader info :
hboot - 0.90.000
radio - 7.46.35.08
I dont have any ***locked*** or ***unlocked*** phrase on the first line indicated - (and ive read some articles in other forum that it is necessary to update the bootloader to have ***locked oow*** appear on my bootloader and update my hboot to 1.08.0099 - 1.10.000 and then unlocked my bootloader via htc.dev officially).
one more thing , ive tried flashing extracted ruu from football's post because like what ive said my phone is stuck on htc white and green logo when turning it on after a jtag...but my log says that "main version is older" ,, i tried it using goldcard and plain micro sd card.. So the big question is WHAT firmware or rom should i flash in order to use my phone again?? do i need to update bootloader first??? or what..what method should i use??? thus my wildfire s is still brick or un recoverable???
hoping someone can educate and help me.... thanks
by the way asian user here.

Hi,
First a confession, I thought I was pretty technically competent until entering the world of Android.
I have a HTC ONE M8. I rooted my device to get access to lots of new features, now though I desperately want to go back.
I have followed step by step all the advice of the Unlocker guide.
However whenever I attempt OTA it boots into fastboot. It doesn't update.
How can I ensure it doesn't boot into factboot?
Currently my HTC says in the fastboot page:
RELOCKED
Security Warning
M8_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
Any help to get me back on track would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't know what the unlocker guide is.
Go to this thread.
READ the instructions. I won't hold your hand through this.
Find the stock nandroid that matches your device, plus the stock recovery. Make sure you have an unmodified system partition. That means no Xposed. If you are using it, uninstall all of the modules, then uninstall Xposed framework as well.
I don't know what carrier you are on/ M8 variant you have. Hook up to ADB/fastboot and issue the command fastboot getvar all and post it here (minus the serial number and IMEI for your own safety). I can probably find an RUU you could flash to go back to stock.

You need to flash RUU. go back to 100% stock,because your S-On it has to be the RUU that matches your CID
**Software Status: Official*** = OTA

Because of problems in the past where people who were not stock tried to take OTAs and got bricked (happened to many people on the M7), HTC has changed things so that you have to be 100% stock including recovery, bootloader locked, to take an OTA. Even having /system mounted r/w will cause it to stop.
As noted, the only safe way to do this when you're s-on is to run/flash a RUU file. Alternatively, you could go s-off and update manually (which is simpler), but this is a route only for experienced users.
Bootloader info:
*** software status: Modified ***
*** unknown ***
*** S-ON ***
***security warning ***
htc download mode:
*** LOCKED ***

hi, i used to have custom rom viperone m9 but since i want to sell my phone im trying to go back to original htc one m9 stock, after trying many things including making my phone S-OFF, trying to flash RUU files, locking bootloader, and finally flashing a stock rom according to a tutorial on xda developers, using android revolution HD to go back to stock rom.
my phone is now not booting up, it was just getting stuck on the htc logo, i tried changing from s-off back to s-on and locking bootloader (which may turn out to be a very big mistake) and now it just boots directly to bootloader and i cant get past the bootloader screen, ive tried doing factory resets and wiping cache in recovery and download mode but nothing is working, im not sure what to do so if anyone can help it would be appreciated!!! i just want to get back to original stock rom where i can get OTA updates and an unrooted phone.
thank you
pleaseeee can anyone help I cant use my phone
Have you tried installing a ruu according to your M9 model? Bootloader SOn or SOFF??
If you still have the unlock Token use it again, if not try for another. If it does not give you one, sorry you are in trouble. It took me at least two weeks trying different stuff, original roms and back-ups, you maybe lucky. In the end I had to send mine back to HTC, the forums on XDA developers did not help.
