So what exactly does ruu restore? i.e will it return me to a stage where my warranty will be in tact?
It will restore your entire phone. Yes, your warranty will be intact if you flash the correct RUU.
Ok thanks
just 2 questions, will it remove root and return S-on?
Yes, it will remove root (the ROM is what is rooted, not the phone).
But, it will remain S-Off.

You will still have to S-ON manually,but everything else will be back to stock(including root).

Will the correct RUU restore the stock HBOOT and Recovery as well?

I just downloaded and installed
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed
After install I went into bootloader and it says I am S-on.
Do I need to go through all the steps again to receive S-off?
Hmm weird my cid is still the same 11111111 but it still says S-on.
Hmm might be an easy way to get S-on for tmobile users.
Hboot: 1.17.0008
Guess it does turn S-on just received ota update to 2.3.4

I did read but this means download this ruu for t-mobile peeps and you do not have to turn S-on to return phone and take the slim chance of bricking your phone.
Can someone please confirm.
Crap my hboot is now 1.18.0000 after update.
Do not update........

After the ota the hboot is 1.18.0000.
That's okay. Mine did same. Just go to the revolutionary site and following directions to get s_off.
Changing radio does not change s_on.

First thing's first - I'm definitely not a newb.
My phone (Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA) is depended upon for work and person use. I've been playing with a lot of custom ROMs and each and every one of them has their own little quirks.
Because of this I have seriously considered going back to stock, but I want to be sure that I can receive OTA updates.
I realize that I can get everything back to stock via RUU, HOWEVER, with SuperCID in place, would I still be able to receive OTA updates? I've read that the RUU doesn't replace the SuperCID with the shipped value.
If not, how would I get the SuperCID back to the original value (which unfortunately I don't have - phone was bought used and already rooted) ?
Thanks so much!
You can get the OTA with superCID the RUU will unroot your phone and reinstall the stock recovery. You will need the stock recovery or you could Brock your phone
If you want to be on the safe side and rewrite your cid do the steps you did to get superCID but instead of 11111111 put T-MOB010 That should get you back on track

No cid will stay the same but that has nothing to do with how your phone runs that just allows you to install the ics custom rom because of the firmware updates needed to run them

after u flash stock rom
1. Super CID will remain
2. S-off still remain
I can download OTA from server but after download finish it will not install with the error about variant system (means we modified software).

Are you sure for this? From what I know IF you install stock ROM from RUU, it will automatically unroot the phone, get back to S-On and of course replace your bootloader with the original one. However to be honest I don't know what happens if you install stock from clockwork recovery - maybe that way the bootloader will not be replaced and you will still have S-Off and root.
TO JWhipple: The Super CID shouldn't matter for RUU. However you could always change it back to your phone/operator version before installing RUU.
@up: not in Sensation. After installing stock with RUU, S-OFF will remain still. To get S-ON back follow this guide. I'm sure, tested on my own Sensation
What would be the right order to go with:
Do you start with changing the SuperCID back to the original one forst or would you first have to go back to S-ON?
SIMPLY TELL ME ONE THING
that can we have official update after installing the latest ruu with s-on and unroot but with super cid?????
thanks

installing stock ruu doesnt change the phone to s-on or unroot.......but see the guide to do s-on then u might get the official updates
The ruu simply changes your rom to stock unrooted, changes radio, recovery and hboot. It doesn't change stuff like cid and s-off. In theory you can get ota updates with supercid and s-off. The only thing required, would be the stock recovery

Quick question, a few guides to going back to stock Sensation point or that you have to downgrade the firmware and radio. Is downgrading the radio (and firmware for that matter) necessary before flashing stock ROM with RUU? I did it with the last sensation before sending it in for warranty replacement, but only because the guide suggested it. But next time I wouldn't do it if I don't have to. Thanks ahead.

No it is not necessary. It will be required only if your device is S-ON and RUU version is older. Just remeber that if your phone is S-OFF and you want to put it S-ON again, do that after you have flashed stock ROM.
is there any way to change RELOCKED TO LOCKED in bootloader?
Revolutionary
I guess guys from Revolutionary can do it. "Revolutionary" is displayed instead of "Locked", so
I guess that it's simple to change that. However I don't know if this helps for warranty purposes
Flash an ruu. It's the safest and easiest way
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk
If you've unlocked it via HTC you can't have it back to 'Locked' - you'll always be 'Relocked' from now on. An RUU will make no difference

Try to s off using revolutionary , then flash a ruu and s on. This *might* work. Instructions are in a sticky thread somewhere. Don't return the phone with revolutionary hboot back, its automatically out of warranty

It doesn't work. "Relocked" is still displayed. I've tried that.
You have to revert the flashing of Unlock_code.bin somehow.
BTW: please use "thanks" if my answer helped you.
It really doesn't matter, if you used HTC Unlock your warranty is void, they know you unlocked, other than changing the word what the hell is the point. The new firmware 3.32 from Mike removes locked message replacing it with Revolutionary. Be careful flashing firmware it can cause bootloop if done wrong and those new firmwares 3.30 and 3.32 are only for ICS, GB will bootloop.
restore rom image
I'm wondering if restoring a rom with cwm and the rom is before unlocking
the bootloader with HTC method will make a difference
You CANNOT get it back to 'Locked' as nothing we have available to us (RUU, OTAs, FW, etc) touches that part of the phone

you need to do S-ON for warranty claims....and to do S-ON you need to flash stock RUU first(this will remove root)..
check this guide...for S-ON and unroot (step 5)for guide click here
if you just want to unroot...and leave the rest...as it is
then
1.if you got supersu as root manager....there is a option in settings to do permanent unroot
2.if you got superuser. as root manager...then it might have the same option too..chk it..otherwise install supersu from market and unroot

also looking to unroot to sell my phone (switching to sprint), if i install the latest RUU or whatever to get s-on and no root, does that fix recovery or do i have to use adb to push stock recovery? if so is there a link to stock recovery?

here is the link to RUU's...get the RUU based on your CID...if you are supercid ..then any RUU will do for you
link to shipped roms
if your phone is XE and unbranded (...i.e. not linked to any carrier)
get something along this line
RUU_Pyramid_LE_hTC_Asia_WWE_<your firmware/build number>_Radio_<your radio>_...
if your phone is normal sensation and unbranded then

running RUU will wipe every partition and replace it with stock...so your recovery will be replaced to stock too
