There's a thread about it on this forum, and HTC asked for the link and said they'd look into it. So post your results, with as much detail as possible, here:

unfortunately you are stuck for now the HTC tool isn't working right for us, but at least some HTC people have been notified... hopefully some people that can somehow get something done about it.
the Revolutionary team has also been made aware of the new HBOOT, but they seemed to say not to hold our breath waiting for a new exploit.
hopefully something will happen soon. HTC is supposed to get back to us within a week or so, but we'll see...

I flashed the t-mobile signed stock rom PP59IMG.zip through the bootloader then proceeded to download the OTA's. After that I placed the new recovery image in the appropriate place and rebooted bootloader to prepare pushing the recovery through fastboot. What I noticed is that even after installing the OTA in a unrooted totally stock rom, S-off remains, however where "revolutionary" once was written now displays "**Locked**" , so apparently HTC has managed to relock the bootloader even though it shows S-off. It's not totally locked, as I had to reflash the PP59IMG.zip to downgrade hboot again so that I could reuse the revolutionary tool to flash the 4.0.0.8 recovery, then install CWM to update the recovery. As long as "Locked" was sitting where "revolutionary" normally is, I found it impossible to use fastboot, so my guess is security remains off but fastboot is locked. Just my guess anyway.

thats what i did. I wanted to test drive the new ota's so i flashed the tmobile signed stock rom, which removes root. Fastboot became locked after the ota's but the bootloader wasnt since i was able to just reinstall the same stock rom and used revolutionary to install the recovery. If you were s-on and took the ota before you had a chance to use revolutionary, you are stuck for now.

Could someone post a thread for unrooting?

Anyone trying to warranty their device would love to have a sure method of unrooting, getting S-ON, basically making their phone completely out of the box status again.
Thanks

Working on it here. Adding pictures and such, for now a bare walkthrough.
S-OFF back to S-ON is impossible, no way to do it, one way trip.
Once you go from S-ON to S-OFF, you're stuck there. Period. No exceptions.
The closest you can get is to restore the stock image and be with the 1.44.0007 hboot that still says s-off.
I had an g2 and I sent in 2 phones both rooted and s-off with no problems. Has anyone ever heard of them giving flack for rooted devices?

They're instructed not to even "touch" them if they're modified in such way.
I guess it really depends on how nice the person who received it is.

What if I'm on 1.84 after OTA? Where can I get the 1.84 RUU?
There isn't one unless u pay for it. Try an older Verison ruu for your country might still work
Edit
Use this link and try download the latest ruu update there is on that page make sure its your country if you do download the wrong ruu don't worry nothing will happen it will just come as an error on pc saying you got wrong ruu does not Mess your phone

I thought I can't use an older RUU because the 1.84 OTA on T-Mo upgraded something?
Also, I've already looked at that. No 1.84 RUU.
What other choices do u have ? As I said if it does not work ull just get an error won't hurt to try
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I believe there is a stock nandroid of 1.84 floating around. Flash that and relock the boot loader and then delete any superuser apps, that should cover you.
Edit: Also the fact that was stated above about someone charging for the 1.84 RUU is f*cking ridiculous. This is supposed to be an open source community and it sickens me when people do that crap.

Use the all in one tool, relock the bootloader, then run the RUU.

Can't get to recovery.

So I was going to switch roms on the fly and use flash image gui and found the rom, selected recovery img, and flashed. Success, so i rebooted to recovery. Weird part is, it took me to bootloader. Thinking I hit the wrong thing I moved to recovery and it sends me to fastboot. I assume I did something wrong and have to flash twrp again?

That command doesn't work. To execute a fastboot command you need to have the phone in bootloader right?I tried it from fastboot and from bootloader.

That worked! Im in TWRP now. Thanks so much! Worried I wouldn't be able to boot up but I did. Phew!! Dont do that again... ok then. Is there any way to flash the boot img on the fly without fastboot?
Depends on the Rom. A lot of them you just download Rom to sd card then intall through twrp. No img fastboot needed on a lot of roms when using twrp. What img are u trying to flash?

As you're with Telstra you will be able to unlock the bootloader on your device through htcdev then install the custom recovery then flash a rom with root as there is currently no root exploit for Jellybean.
As suggested above though do your homework first.

SuperCID will stay. You'll just need to flash recovery again, and then either flash superuser to stay stock rooted, or flash a custom ROM.

Yea thats what I always thought, was just bein sarcastic.. So for the sake of the thread and the O.P. To retain root you would have to flash recovery after running the RUU correct? Because the gentleman that I was originally responding to stated that theres no need to flash recovery, that the RUU does this for us...
Yes you need to flash TWRP again after you run an RUU. The RUU only flashes the stock recovery.

Ya I used that one click tool for XL to get the recovery..now on to further questions instead of making a new thread i decided to reuse this one.. anyways after I got through all that i decided to go ahead and flash some custom roms and ended up with the same results when ever someone sends me pics or videos through text, they will download fine until i connect to a wifi, then i get an error saying "couldn't download now, please try again later. Even when I disconnect from the wifi i get the same error and sometimes will not even get data untill I wipe and re flash but everything works fine with the stock rom.. what could cause this i have tried messing with the data options in settings and nothing works. rom's I have used are
Root box
slim bean
xylon
all of them have acted that same and all use the 3.4 kernel. so I'm stuck on stock until i can figure out whats going on :crying: so any help is greatly appreciated :good:
I've never used WiFi with those ROMs so I'm not sure. But are you sure your apn settings are correct? Also, have you tried toggling airplane mode on and off after disconnecting from WiFi?

Faults like this are usually caused by incorrect apn settings but I could be wrong.

Am I reading correctly, WiFi data works in general, mobile data works in general, just mms is not working?
Yes wifi data and mobile data work but mms won't download with either on custom roms only but will work fine on stock
