I don't think you can go all the way back to stock.
You can load back the stock ROM but your bootloader will remain unlocked which puts you into the grey warranty area with HTC.
The development section has link to almost all stock ROMs. Check the stickies there.

so i lost all my warrenty but you can relock you bootlaoder so htc dont see it and have youre warrety back or ?

Since you are using HTCDev they have you're information logged. There is noway to relock the bootloader, at least yet. That's what, I think, everyone is scrambling for S-OFF.
You are still covered for somewhat under warranty. From reading these forums it seems that HTC will make you pay for the motherboard during any warranty claims because they say their policies state that they "cannot send you back an unlocked phone". Even though a lot of devs here feel they could relock the phone using software, that is what HTC has been quoting people.
A quick anonymous call/email to HTC should remove the confusion for you.

Here's another thread. You can go back and relock the boot loader. But it will say "relocked" not the original "locked". Not sure what HTC thinks about that.

network locked, can i still get root and custom rom?

Hello,
i want to try this root / unlock all in one tool, but it say: Caution- This unlock bootloader and rooting tutorial hardly not permitted for network locked devices, so don’t ever try this update on your network locked devices.

my htc wildfire S has a t-mobile logo at boot, but other branding except the navigion select install isnt there. how can i identify if its network locked?
my goal is to install a fast custom rom. maybe i am on the wrong way with the all in one installer and there are other possibilitys.
Thanks for answers.

I don't see why not. Mine is network-locked and I've flashed over fifty ROMs on it
It does void your warranty if you unlock the bootloader and get S-OFF, but you can get it S-ON again and relock the bootloader, so that shouldn't be an issue (though there isn't really a way to S-OFF the WFS without XTC-Clip, meaning you can't do that at home anyways).

oke! thx.
but what means s-off / s-on? i cant find it in glossary.

To you, nothing
I don't think we'll ever get it anyway, so it's basically nothing important. It used to be a dream that we could get our warranties back, flash a new radio or h-boot, network-unlock our phones and resize our system partitions, but now it appears all progress towards that dream has halted.

[Q] Turning S-ON and removing the tampered banner?

Hi Everyone.
I'm having some difficulty returning security to on and also having the tampered banner removed. I'm hoping to send my phone back to warranty.
I've used this guide to get me through it but it left me with S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751011
I've then tried this guide to get me back to stock with S-ON but it retriggered the tampered flag after I turned it off: http://theunlockr.com/2014/06/08/how-to-unroot-the-htc-one-m8-video/
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable security to on without triggering the tampered flag? Or if I'm doing something wrong with these steps.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Find the appropriate RUU (If your carrier released it) and run it, it will remove the "tampered". FYI, next time dont worry about S-off so much. With S-off you could of put back on the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader and just sent it back w/ S-off, some 1% of devices mistakenly leave the factory w/ s-off.

HTC already has a record of you (based on your IMEI) unlocking the bootloader via HTCDev.com. You're going through a lot of effort to try to hide what HTC will already knows (that you modded the phone).

Htc know that just u take unlock code from them but they don't know if u use that code to unlock or not. U can just take that code and keeping for future so even if u have that code this doesn't mind u already unlock ur device. So if ur s off is always better to s on ur device for sending for repair
That just mine opinion ?

[Q] Rooted, Custom Recovery, S-ON - how to get back to full stock

Hello,
My UK Vodafone branded phone has been rooted with custom recovery installed. Its still s-on.
I searched XDA and getting some mixed information hence I decided to open a new topic to get so answers.
I would like to achieve full STOCK without flags.
In case of a warranty claim I believe I need to install stock recovery, unroot and lock the boot loader. However locking boot loader again - will create RELOCKED message instead of Locked. Which is still not good for warranty claim.
In order to removed RELOCKED I would need to get S-Off and modify flags manually via commands. However having latest FW OTA installed it is not possible to get S-OFF (according to my knowledge). Having said that it will not be possible to remove any flags such as relocked so basically I'm stuck.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here or give me so hope
Thanks for your help.

All correct sir.
Hope you say ?
Sunshine should be updated soon and it should handle latest firmware

a bit disappointed
did not know that rooting will invalidate warranty for good

Returning to stock for warranty

Hello!
I will keep it short, nice and easy.
Phone purchased last Friday, updated to Oreo through OTA. Unlocked bootloader through HTC Dev and flashed TWRP and then Magisk (no custom ROM).
Problems: Heating up, battery life under 4 hours, no WiFi MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00
Question: I want to return it for warranty so I would like to know.
-Can I restore stock recovery
-Can I apply RUU of Nougat Android (CID:_034)
-Can I relock bootloader and have it say LOCKED instead of RE-LOCKED without S-OFF (I will buy S-OFF if necessary as losing warranty is not something I can afford).
tl:dr I need to prep this phone tonight for warranty service, I must give it back to the retailer 100% stock. can you please advise on the best course of action considering I have updated to Android Oreo?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Catalin

Please accept my apologies. I have just realized that I have posted in the wrong thread. This was meant to go in the questions section of the forum.
If any admin could please move it I would be very grateful

-Can I restore stock recovery. Yes, and I'm sure stock recovery is posted in the stock backup thread
-Can I apply RUU of Nougat Android (CID:_034) Yes but only of you're s-off. You also need to run a procedure to get the radio working when downgrading from Oreo to Nougat. Steps are detailed in a thread in the Guides forum.
-Can I relock bootloader and have it say LOCKED instead of RE-LOCKED without S-OFF (I will buy S-OFF if necessary as losing warranty is not something I can afford). You can only do that with s-off. But are you sure your retailer will even check for bootloader status?

Thanks a lot for the answer!
