Someone asked me this question, and i feel the answer i provided might help us S3 users out there.
HI..I guess I have the same problem HTC one s 1.7Ghz, now I can't hard reset any recovery. please if u find a way to fixit
yeah.. you cant. Unless you can find someone to give you a recovery from a stock S3. I dont have one either... but there is another way to hard reset it.
I assume you have already unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev. Simply relock it, then unlock it again. This will hard reset your phone without the need for recovery.
The hard reset feature within the phone cannot be used because we no longer have the stock recovery and the S4 recovery we "accidentally" flashed in wont work.
Keep our fingers crossed someone will create a recovery that is usable by us S3 users!
You can also run a ruu and extract the recovery.img from the temp folder.

Yep hansthegeek is right. As long as you have a locked/relocked bootloader, the ruu will run fine, even with a messed up recovery (speaking from experience )

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.

There isn't one unless u pay for it. Try an older Verison ruu for your country might still work

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.

The Problem,
Since JellyBean releases HTC have added extra protection around their RUU's making the rom.zip file still getable from the RUU but with what bender_007 says are extra bytes - this means that any attempt to extract the system.img gives a CRC error.
This is not particuarly my area of expertise so I hope those with more knowledge/ideas will come and discuss this

I resolved the problem using the proper RUU
Enviado desde mi HTC One XL usando Tapatalk 2
If you're carrier does not have an RUU and you have to OTA
Steps are:
S-OFF if you are not
RUU to the latest you can find an RUU for.
Do not bother rooting or anything.
Copy OTA zip file to your phone.
Boot to stock recovery. (boot to bootloader, select recovery, When an image comes up press and hold vol up and press power)
Error will come up saying no SD card found. This is normal.
Select install from phone storage or install from internal storage. Do not select install from SD card as it looks for an EXTERNAL sd card using that option.
Then select your OTA zip file
It will flash, then reboot phone, it will finish flashing.
Then you will have the latest Software ver.
Then you can reflash TWRP or CWM or whatever and then flash your rom of choice.

Hi,
I want to remove my friends htc one xl's branding by tmobile and flash a miui rom. After hours searching this forum(s), i have a little idea of what i have to do, like i have to unlock bootloader, some s-off thing, flash a custom recovery and then flash rom. As i come from samsung forums, i have no idea of how this works and even hours of research havent helped me out. So i would be glad if anyone could tell me what i should do to at the end i get miui. (I think flashing custom rom removes branding, doesnt it?)
Thanks very much in advance

Never used samsung but it seems like anyone who comes from Samsung phones tend to be ridiculously noobish. I suggest reading through the stickies in q&a and android dev and original android dev if things don't make sense to you. This phone is quirky but once you actually understand what you're doing and why, it's simple. Lazyness will brick you. Also, never root these for a friend or they will be calling you when something goes wrong. And something will go wrong.

I suggest reading through the stickies in q&a and android dev and original android dev if things don't make sense to you. This phone is quirky but once you actually understand what you're doing and why, it's simple. Lazyness will brick you. Also, never root these for a friend or they will be calling you when something goes wrong. And something will go wrong.

Hi,
I want to remove my friends htc one xl's branding by tmobile and flash a miui rom. After hours searching this forum(s), i have a little idea of what i have to do, like i have to unlock bootloader, some s-off thing, flash a custom recovery and then flash rom. As i come from samsung forums, i have no idea of how this works and even hours of research havent helped me out. So i would be glad if anyone could tell me what i should do to at the end i get miui. (I think flashing custom rom removes branding, doesnt it?)
Thanks very much in advance

Normal way, i think:
1/ Check your computer, have ADB and htc sync install or not, if not, download them and install them.
2/ Boot into bootloader, and check your status of hboot, build. If your hboot, build are qualified to get root, go to this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038
3/ After unlock boot-loader, go do soff to install custom RUU:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071
4/Flash TWRP recovery (google and download it, latest build 2.6.0.0)
5/ Install any rom you want
PS: for MIUI rom, you dont need to soff and hboot required, thats mean you just only care about: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, ROOT, TWRP recovery.
So first, go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader for your phone, after that, check if your phone can root or not and install TWRP recovery then flash MIUI rom.
So thats all you need, maybe it not clear too, but you need to give me some infor about ur phone, so we can find right solution. I am noob too haha
Ok, so:
1/ yes ive got adt with adb tools included; im on linux so i think no htc driver needed
Well, if i dont need soff thats good
Thx, clear guide man

It's best to just s-off. As a precaution.
