Is it possible to go back to stock without S-Off?

I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then installed a rooted version of stock OS. Can I go back to completely stock without S-Off, or is it absolutely required that I pay the $25 to go back to stock?

Looking for the same option
Wish I had a solution for you, but I don't see one. Looks like we're stuck with either an S-On or a $25 charge

I've tried to look for an answer as well. The latest RUU from my carrier is only 1.32, and in the event that I need to service my phone, I'm not sure if stock system + TWRP is good enough for 'stock'.
My phone scared me today because random white, vertical lines appeared on the screen, but they didn't show up when I rebooted into the power + vol. down menu. They slowly disappeared, but it was definitely worrying. I'm afraid the display will go bad soon.

This is the best option I've found so far. Going to give it a try tomorrow, unless anyone has suggestions.

Unfortunately I'm not having a lot of luck. Using the files on that site, and also tried the "1.32.531.33 SystemDump" from XDA, but in both cases as soon as it starts up it says "EasyShare stopped responding" and "System UI stopped responding" before even doing the setup wizard. Tried wiping the cache, and redownloading the files but still the same errors every time. Not sure what I'm missing...

Okay, I finally got it back to stock using these instructions and the "fastboot/sd card" RUU zips from here. Everything appears to be working, and back at stock without needing S-OFF!

All that you needed was an unlocked bootloader to load a Stock RUU.

The thread is very old, but I can help you.
First we need to know more about your device, so boot in download mode and do "fastboot getvar all" then post the result here(remove imei,sn)
For this you need adb and fastboot, if you don't have I recommend you Minimal ADB & Fastboot, and make sure you have htc drivers installed.

You can't just flash nougat if you're s-on, you need to flash a ruu that match to your current firmware version, then you can update via ota to the latest nougat.

[Q] Help Needed

Hi guys,
i seemed to have bricked my phone because all i can do is boot into bootloader, download mode, recovery mode. it has stock recovery and relocked bootloader.
i want it boot into android anyway possible stock or not. I can provide anydetails required about my phone. I have tried several RUUs and 0PJAIMG.zip files but nothing seems to be working.
For RUUs i get the error "Please get the correct Rom Update Utility and try again" and for 0PJAIMG.zip files my phone says "SD CARD NOT MOUNTED" in download mode. Please help me revive my phone and sorry for a long.
Thanks in Advance.
Edit: Even if anyone can link me to a x.xx.425.xx ruu, that would be great.
1.40.425.10 or 1.34.425.7 or 1.34.425.5 or 2.11.425.7

I assume your phone is S-ON. You can't downgrade or flash RUUs for different SKUs than 425.
The problem: There are only RUUs for firmware 1.34.425.7 and 1.34.425.8. So unless you don't have S-OFF you can't use them.

Did you try re-unlocking via HTCdev? The M9 has some security checks which prevent the phone from booting if the bootloader is locked/relocked and the phone is not completely stock. If that doesn't help you may need to look for someone with a java card.
For answering your second question I'm qoting myself from another thread:

But you need to pay if you want to download files from that site. Since I know someone who has an account I may be able to get one of the RUUs for you. (Can't guarantee anything.)

As far as I know the 1.34.425.7 RUU is getting uploaded on AFH at the moment. But as said before you won't be able to use it without S-OFF.

I can't re-unlock my phone i tried like 3 times already.
That would be great if you could upload the file and link it here...

There you go (thanks to Handy-FAQ.de). But as said before it's useless if you don't have S-OFF.
Edit: I guess the option OEM Unlock (located in developer options) hasn't been activated before you relocked the bootloader, am I right? That's why you can't re-unlock. But you could still look for someone who owns a java card to get S-OFF, use the RUU service on Llabtoofer's website or hope that someone creates and uploads a TWRP backup that contains an untouched system image, the boot image and the stock recovery of your currently installed firmware.

remove the imei nubmer first of all. Flash European RUU and youll be fine. Check out flippys thread in the general section for more info and instuctions

Thank you, I just removed it. And about RUU I could not find in flappy's post, If you give a simpler source for finding European RUU it would be so great.

Thanks for your helps.
New problem appeared!!!
I'm not able to unlock bootloader and install twrp to install stock rom backups https : //www .androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802868. I figured that in order to unlock bootloader there is a tick in developer options but my phone won't boot up to make that happen.
I think the only way I can bring device back to life is find a 2.10.401.1 or above singed exe ruu, but there is no such a thing on Internet.

Pm flippy for help. He's a nice guy.

look under the RUU tile. Youll find the correct ruu that you need - 2.10.410.1. No twrp needed just flash it in download mode

Tnx a lot, I didn't even notice the tabs above that page. Everything is fine right now. :good::good::good:

How to flash ROM to my HK M9?

I went thru a few threads but couldn't find any direct tutorial to flash my m9. I downloaded ota, but i cant s-off my unit(sunshine doesn't work), thus i cant flash it. maybe its running new OS?
I wanted to flash any rom to my m9, either stock or wwe or cyanogenmod, but all seems to require s-off.
my play store is missing & even though i did a master reset(tried from normal menu n also bootloader mode), playstore just wont appear.
here are my details :
Non-rooted
S-ON
LK-1.0.0.0000
firmware 3.42.708.3
fastboot result :
(bootloader) kernel: lk

(bootloader) cid: HTC__044
I went thru about 5 threads but cant find a direct solution, I hope I'm not asking something that is widely posted here, seems i just can't S-off. Any helps to flash roms in my situation?

Anyone care to help out?

There is no other publicly available RUU for your SKU than a 1.32.708.15 one which you can't use due to downgrades not being possible without S-OFF.

dear flippy, can i install custom rom while its S-ON? I know how 2 do it on prev HTCs(unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash rom, flash boot.img), but no sure if m9 is applicable..

Yes, you can. However you need to re-flash the stock boot.img of your phone afterwards or you'll loose your mobile reception (this only applies to sense-based roms). If you want to use a non-sense-based rom like cm you need to flash thicklizard's mono kernel instead of the stock boot image.

Help, my Htc one m9 is bricked from relocking the bootloader.

Hi, I am new on this forum.
I have a problem with my M9. About a year ago, I installed TWRP recovery and rooted android 6.0. Since then I hadn't made any changes to my phone. Once android nougat came out, i couldn't update it with ota update so i decided to return to stock recovery. I flashed the recovery and everything worked fine. I decided to update it with a RUU as the safest bet, and i read somewhere that you need to relock the bootloader. I relocked it and everything seemed fine, it was relocked in bootloader mode but now I can't boot to recovery mode and cannot boot the phone. I can access download mode and bootloader mode. I also can't update it with the ruu because I get signature error 132. I also can't unlock the bootloader, everything goes fine and at the end it still says "relocked". My cid is htc_032 european. What should I do now?

You shouldn't have relocked it... As far as I know, relocking the m9 is not required... Try searching for solutions or wait for someone with more knowledge regarding your situation...

Thanks for the tip about IMEI.
I tried the developer ruu version from the HTC website but i saw that it isn't compatible. I can't find a ruu for my phone that is compatible. I only found zips, but i have no clue how to use them. I know how to flash them, but my bootloader won't unlock. Do you have any idea how to proceed?
