HTC ONE S revert to stock

It's a stupid guide for noob as me...
I've spent much time reading these pages to find what i need to revert and use OTA update.
To revert stock rom, following this simple step:
1) download the ruu of your htc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24886181#post24886181
2) run the ruu and waiting it finish
note:
if you previously don't change anything on system partition (for example you don't cancel any application in system\data whit root privileges) you can run the execute the .exe file and wait it finish.
Otherwise you must flash from recovery a stock nand backup ((for example, if you have the 153.x.x... you can download from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24886181&postcount=18the cmw stock backup) to comeback to the originary size partition and run RUU
I'm sorry for my poor english but I hope it is clear and hope this post has not violated terms of section...

Moved To General​
Thanks for the post, but this is best off in the general section, as its not really development.​

I downloaded the 1.53 RUU and it just wouldnt work for me. I also flashed the image you provided. Coming from Virtuous. Really odd.....

at the end i had got a old nand backup of untouched rom stock and after this restore and reflashed original recovery (but i think it isn't really necessary), the execution of ruu finished without problems.
I think it gets error if we have supersu too, because it modifies the file system space..

I tried that as well and the ruu refused to work. I am re downloading the ruu to aee what happens.

The ruu you had downloaded is correct to me.. try to verify if your CID is present in android.txt (you must enter in temporary directory where ruu put his files, open rom.zip and verify is your CID is present..). Try this, in case you can add it.

Thanks. I did look for this and it is in there. I got the CID out of some fastboot command that I cant remember now.

i search CID and is VODAP102...someone can help me to restore to stock????? PLEASE!!!
and many thanks

You try to flash wrong version of RUU. I don't know if it's the case here, I do not own the device (yet )but I had a similar problem with my old incredible s. As it turned out RUU didn't match my MODEL-ID. Every htc-device has its model-id, but for some reason there is always released a batch with different model-id (So it was with Incredible S provided by Bell Canada. While almost the whole world enjoyed PG3213000, phones from Bell had model ID- PG3212000, and they needed their own special RUU.)
I'm from Europe but used XTC-clip to unlock bootloader and during this procedure I accidentally changed model-id from PG3213000 too PG3212000. That's why I was unable to flash any WWE RUU ( error [130] model ID error). Once I re-changed model-id (with the same xtc clip) my all problems were gone.

Everything that I need now is RUU 1.78.401.2.

you can try to add manually your CID in android.txt file inside rom.zip (in ruu temporary directory)

In ruu it didn't work, i tried it.

3.33.401.6 RUU installation error 155

My HTC Sensation 4G is S-ON and my firmware version is presently 3.32.401.5. My mobile is not super-cid and my CID is HTC_001 and MID is PG 5813000. I am not SUPERCID. I am presently running Viper-s rom and intend to upgrade my firmware to 3.33.
I am sure 3.33.401.6 is the version i should install. Since i am unable to install PGIMG file through bootloader, Dark-Forest told me to use official RUU.
I downloaded RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266171_signed.exe
and when i tried to install it i got error 155 WRONG IMAGE ERROR.
Error Description says "ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again."
I dont know what to do.
Should i install official 3.32 RUU and then install 3.33 RUU ?
Please help me.
i am thankful to the community for excellent work and great roms:good:

i HAVE found a guideline http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425&highlight=install+3+33+ruu
Should i follow the steps ?
3.1 Relocking the bootloader
3.2 Using RUU to restore partitions
3.3 Turning S On after RUU flash
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

Anyways i have followed the above mentioned steps and atleast RUU is installing now. Shall update ASAP

Yahoo
I am now on stock 3.33 Rom and my firmware is updated. Going to turn S-ON again and install Sense 4 rom

Now i am unable to S-ON using

Tried htcdev.com unlock method and it says some sort of error.
Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.
Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Is there anyway to get rooted again ?

wait a sec ..you are soff right ? then why are you doing htc-dev unlock ?
you should not do htc-dev unlock over soff thats a bad move ...you can flash juopunutbear hboot aka eng-hboot ...check the kgs aio tool in sensation development stickies there is an option to flash eng-hboot use that ..
if you just want to root your phone ..then check my one click root tool from my soff guide ....link in my signature

unlocked using htcdev file

Sorry to dig this thread up, but why would you ask a question if you disregard the answer? People like this should be banned of posting new threads.

thanks
i already find million post and video to settle white screen after boot... finally i try to relock and install RUU... thank a lot....

What is your current software version?
You can change your CID to HTC__001 and then flash unbranded 2.31 (the one you already have)

Did you relock your bootloader?

I had a similar problem with my orange branded one s but got it up and running by doing the following :
unlock bootloader
install twrp recovery
boot into recovery (must be in recovery not bootloader or adb shell will not work)
change orange cid to generic cid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
flash stock recovery
relock bootloader
install latest european ruu
Hope this helps

I managed to change the CID to Super CID
But still getting Error 155 when trying to install RUU
Any other idea?
Many thanks

If your sure the cid was sucessfully changed (i used HTC_001) and you flashed stock recovery then relocked bootloader im all out of ideas. thats what worked for me.

What is error 155?

Error 155 gets when either your bootloader is locked or u r using the wrong RUU
If you updated to jelly bean , sense 4+ and then rooted your ONE S and then installed other roms like CM10, etc, you will get error 155 if you try to use any RUU. Thats because your hboot is updated when upgrading to sense 4+,JB.
Thus to revert back to stock....
1. get stock ICS Sense 4.1 ROM,
2. flash stock recovery.
3. Use OTA update to jelly bean,Sense 4+.
4. Factory reset your phone to remove any non-stock stuff from the ROM.
5. you have STOCK Sense 4+!!
6. then if you want you can relock boot loader .( but I havent tried it, might cause problem)

Your hboot won't be updated unless it's a ota or a ruu am I right eg I was on 4.04 then rooted and installed trickdroid but I am still on the hboot that came with 4.04 ruu.

Wipe everything.Should be able to flash CyanogenMod 10. After that, change back the CID to VODAP001 (mmcblk0p4 and build.prop).

[HELP] Back to stock from CM10

Hi All
I need to revert my phone stock firmware because I want to send it to repair.
Currently I'm on CM10, my hboot is 1.14.0002 and CID is H3G__001
I already tried to flash stock recovery and boot, then lock the bootloader and run RUU but each time RUU displayed error.
I downloaded three RUUs:
1. RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.53.771.4_Radio_0.15.31501S.19_2_10.13.31501S.06L_release_251870_signed
2. RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.78.771.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.19_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258982_signed
3. RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed
The first two displayed ERROR 155 and in the log file I see: "44 hboot version check fail"
Third one displayed error 140 (if I remember correctly), logs: "42 custom id check fail"
Could you please help me solving this issue. What option do I have? Downgrade hboot version, or change CID and install Europe RUU, but... will they repair my phone under warranty if they spot that CID has changed? or maybe there is another solution?
Thanks in advance for any help!

if you mean me, yes to both, the hboot 2.15 worked along with the 3.16 JB ruu. 100% stock now, with "locked" bootloader and no warning dealer, here comes my crapphone!
