Yesterday I sold my Hero and picked up an Evo. I got a call from the guy I sold it to today saying he couldn't activate it because I have it rooted with CM6. Do I just install one of the stock RUU to get it to work for him? Will doing that unroot the phone? I need to figure out how to get it to activate on Sprint for him.
Yes, this goes in Q&A but with CM6 the phone codes do not work and will be needed for activation, just run the stock RUU.

I have a defective HTC Desire and need to unroot to send in for repair. There is still no RUU for the BravoC (CDMA) with US Cellular. Is there a way to unroot it? It says that the S-ON tool in the unrevoked wiki does not work with the CDMA Desire, but is coming soon. Can anyone please help!
Were you able to find a solution?
No luck yet. I tried the unrevoked irc channel but no one was there. Is there anyone out there that might be able to help? I would love to get this thing fixed. I would gladly paypal someone a couple bucks for some beer if they can get me un-rooted!
Flash to alltell ruu and you are unrooted. Only problem is your boot screen will have alltell. No big deal though...most don't notice

The Altell RUU has a newer radio than the USCC radio. Is this an issue for when I send it back for repair?
You guys are refering to these CDMA RUU's right?

I needed to use the PB99IMG.zip method since I had issues with running the .exe under Windows for some reason. My only issue is that I am stil set to S-OFF and I need to send a phone in for repair. Do I need to be S-ON to not get charged for the full price of the phone and how can I get there? Thanks!

I just sent my phone in to US Cellular with it still being set to S-OFF. I did unroot by applying the RUU froyo download. When I called service they did not ever ask me about rooting / s-off but did ask me about other things that would void the warranty. It makes me feel like they will accept the return as is. I will keep you posted once they officially take my returned phone.
I need the US cellular RUU but i cant download it from the website, it takes me back to the support page when i click on download... any1 got the file? n can dropbox it or something??
TIA
just wondering how i will get the update.... as i understand it its up to the carriers to push the update. my phone is stock from virgin but i am unlocked to use rogers, who will push it to me?
I'm on rogers as well. If I were you, I'd just root it and install ICS or run the RUU. I say this because warranty with HTC is a pain especially since we can't send it through rogers for warranty. Warranty is pretty much pointless/a huge hassle! But I'm pretty sure you can just run the RUU when it's released, so manual instead of automatically. Maybe I'm wrong and if I am someone can correct me!
Hey Folks,
i habe rooted my phone and my Bootloader says "Tempered" and "Unlocked".
Well now i have one Question, is it possible to unroot my phone?
I have to return it to a company, because of a missunderstanding.
So can you help me?
I know the way, how i look my Bootloader, but how can i unroot it?
if you run an RUU that should remove root.
you will not get rid of the tampered when you revert, it will just change to relocked.
Mine is branded by vodafone/1und1.
I know that i don't get rid of, but i want a 'clean' phone! ;-)
mine too was vodafone branded. I just rooted and removed all the bloatware..
if you return a phone unbranded it makes no difference. they only question devices with obvious signs of modding. Such as S-OFF, Custom ROMs ect ect..
i dont know if they will know its rooted, as the kernel is stock, if you just remove all apps, Including Superuser. i doubt they will look to far into it.
Usually they just flash the latest software and return it. Or in some cases just send out a fresh new one..
ive just returned my one-s rooted running virtuous rom to the phone store and they didnt even check it, swapped handsets and put old handset into the box and sealed for shipping

hey guys, im gonna return my one s to tmobile in a few days and my phone was rooted and had the bootloader unlocked. so i locked up the bootloader again and ran the tmobile US ruu but for some reason my build number says 1.53.531.16_R2 CL47441 and someone said the STOCK ROM for original TMOUS is 1.53.531.16 CL47441. notice there is a R2 in my ruu and it doesnt have that on the stock tmobile rom which is weird. just wondering if that is gonna matter when i send it back to tmobile (customer service). it looks like the stock tmobile rom. it has all the bloatware and crap that comes with the phone stock. also i cant seem to get the ota update or even manually install it myself neither which is odd.
Hello. I have an HTC One from C Spire (Cellular South). The bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted with no custom ROM. I am using TWRP and SuperSU. I had to use the Sprint Version of TWRP and SuperSU in order to root. I have not had any issues but I am stuck on 4.2.2. I would like to get my phone back to stock so that I can update to 4.3.
After doing: fastboot getvar version-main
It returned: version-mian: 2.04.563.2
My boot menu says:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBoot-1.54.0000
RADIO-1.00.20.0725
OS-2.04.563.2
I'm fairly new to rooting and I'm not sure how to undo this. I know with other carriers it is quite easy. That's not the case with CSpire. The only thing I can think of is to somehow get S-OFF, although I'd rather avoid doing so. I thought I needed to find the CSpire RUU files, but I do not think that is the case. Since I have not installed a Custom ROM can I just do an Android OTA?
Have you had any success as of yet finding the RUU for CSpire ? I too have an HTC One from CSpire. I have gotten as far as unlocking the phone but until I find the factory flash for our device I am afraid to root my phone... Please help me if you know where to find this... Thanks.....

No luck. I took my phone to CSpire since my SIM card was not working. They saw that it was rooted and wouldn't touch it. They wiped my phone and during the process wiped the OS. So the phone was then useless. The guy suggested that since I had purchased the warranty that I should just drop my phone in a pool so that they could replace it. So I did that. Now I have a brand new one. I wouldn't suggest rooting until someone releases the ruu files. :/
I also tried to use Cyanogen Mod for sprint devices but I could not get cellular data with it. So do not root if you ever plan on restoring.
Thanks

Thanks man I will not touch it past this point until more is released.. Shhhuuuuwwwaa !!!!
I just picked up an HTC One this afternoon. I was hoping there would be some development going on but like everyone else mentioned, I can't find any stock files for C Spire. I hope something will come out soon. When the HTC Hero was released, C Spire had all of the RUU files and updates on their website....
Stock Backup
Is it possible to switch to an alternate recovery such as TWRP or CWM without rooting first? If so, couldn't we just make a backup of a non-rooted stock rom and just revert back to that if there is a problem?
I have posted a non rooted backup of my htc one, we also have a working 4.4.2 rom made just for c spire if anyone wants to check it out. Voice, Data, sms, mms all work.
