Return rooted phone for warranty? - HTC Desire S

I have a rooted phone, S-OFF and a custom ROM and now I cant use it with SIM-card so I am thinking if I can return it to warranty.
So wich step should I take? Is it enough to just flash a stock ROM and then it makes the phone as it was before? Or is the S-OFF still going to be there? And I have dropped my phone before so have cracked glass, but this problem has nothing to do with that, is it an warranty-issue you think regarding to that?
Have seen that there are more then one Stock European ROM, wich one should I take?

You should still s-on just in case, use this tutorial on how to get it s-on and remove everything till it's stock

thanks, going to try this when returning home!

Hmm, I have done everything in that movie but in the last sequence when updating the ROM, I got an error-message that it could not update the phone. Maybe I choosed the wrong ROM?
Its says (translated from swedish) "ROM-updatetools cannot update your phone, get the correct ROM-updatetool and try again"
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
That one I choosed, living in sweden..and having a HTC Desire S

To make sure, try other RUU first

Wich one?
well I think I have made a mistake now, now it only boots in fastboot or Hboot, so cant boot a ROM at all. When running the RUU I should be in the normal mode right? Or can I start it from fastboot?

Any RUU other than the failed one. I suggest you use euro ruu as you are going to return it for warranty. I dont know if other ruu will void warranty or not.
Just run RUU exe, i think it works on fastboot ( i forgot ).

Okay, will try all of them, the eurpean ones. But takes forever to download from that sites. Like 3 hours for one RUU :/

tryed another RUU, same problem!

Try look at the " how to s-on the noob way " . Im not sure if it helps.

is the phone branded or unbranded?
If it is?!
Then use the correct RUU for the brand witch the phone is branded!

Unroot HTC One S, just to be sure

Hello,
i have to unroot my girlfriends htc one s, because we need the warrenty of the divice.
at the moment there is the newest trick droid installed.
so how to get back to stock? ive done this on my one x before so i know i have to:
install stock recovery
relock bootloader
run ruu
BUT
i had huge problems finding the right ruu for the stock recovery flashed.
could i flash the stock recovery from PaulOBrien thread and then flash he UK vodafone ruu? or will be some mismatch like on my one x ? i would need the vodafone uk ruu, because it was a vodafone device.
is it a MUST that the recovery version matches thes ruu version? at my one x it kind of happend. is there any chance to see what version the stock recovery of PaulOBrien have?
greetings and thanks alot
Go to super su ..... settings scroll to bottom and click full unroot

but this wont give me the stock rom, does it?
or could i run the RUU then?
Phone will still say relocked in bootloader no matter what you do I believe.
T-MobileUS HTC One S
thats ok relocked just mean it was unlocked, but nothing it was ever a custom rom on it
but i got the solution in another forum
just relock bootloader, enable usb debug und go to the ruu
greetings
I think it does go to stock rom

Your warranty might not come back, since you have rooted it you might be declined.

[Q] Maybe a dumb question - but how to get back to stock rom?

Hey,
i've got a little problem !? I'm on Elegancia ICS Sense 4 v.3.4.0, and i want to get back to a pure stock rom. I attached a picture of my boot-information.
Is it ok, if flash a RUU with Firmware 3.33 and that's it?
Thanks a lot for your help :good:, and sorry for my - maybe - dumb question!
Ok now you are using ICS so you needed ICS RUU do not use Gingerbread RUU which will give you error. Download from the Pyramid shipped rom collection according to your country or provider, If you have Super CID any ICS RUU one will work, Then just run RUU done.
:good: thanks! So it's very easy to get back to stock, great! You saved my weekend !
And also S-ON if you want to take it to HTC.

I really need some help with HTC One XL

I bought this phone outright, and I don't like the Telstra network so I put an Optus SIM in. Which works just fine, however I now have an issue which may or may not be related. I have unlocked my bootloader, and have obtained root. I cannot get s-off however, tried all the methods in this forum. And when I try to install a new Rom, such as cm10 and all nightly versions, venom viper, and all other Roms I have tried I cannot get passed the start up logo (or I just get a pure black screen). Yes I have waited and waited for extended periods of time but it won't load. No I'm not new to rooted phones, and have followed all insructions properly. Pls help me, I really hate all the Telstra bloatware on my phone.

you have to fastboot flash the boot.img when you are s-on
Only problem is I used that stupid one xl one click toolbox for my root. Which has completely stuffed me up.I should have done it the hard way like I did with my incredible s. I just got lazy. Don't suppose you know how to get s-off, without the one click fixes. Unfortunately they arnt working on this phone to acheive s-off

Not necessarily. It depends on your hboot version I believe.
I've never had to flash the boot image and I haven't done s-off.
@OP - did you need to s-off for any specific reason? You don't need to do this to flash a custom ROM. It's not required unless you want to reove the tampered text from the boot loader.
It makes life easier to have s-off. Besides I have issues with not having full access to something I have bought outright....lol

I s-off'd my HOXL because it makes it much safer from my own boneheaded mistakes. If I had done something silly like flashing the OTA RUU then I wouldn't be completely screwed.

Doesn't ruu require windows? You try a virtual machine to emulate windows. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to achieve s off?

Are you S-OFF already?
Is this an AT&T one X? you would have had to supercid to root, if you RUU and you are not S-OFF you will brick.
To RUU, you'll need windows be it through a VM or another PC.
You can flash an OTA through stock recovery if you download the zip but if you're superCID that will also brick you.
I have S-on Relock hboot 1.09
I guess im gonna ask a friend to let me borough hes windows laptop i think thats the easiest way to go back

If it's an AT&T phone it definately is SuperCID and will brick if you RUU unless you S-OFF first.

Return to stock

Hello xda members,
I ran into a problem the other day. My nandroid is no longer with me due to a defective hard drive . I now decided I want to return to stock to sell the phone.
I'm on hboot 1.27 and iam s off.
I want to flash an ruu, the phone is the Europe/international version. These forums are so big that I do not know where to start looking for ruu's, neither do I know what type I need since I have numberous phones and always kept a nandroid ..
Is there anyone that can either push me I'm the right direction or even give me a link to an htc ruu website?
Thanks in advance.

I've come this far:
My cid is VODAPE17
and my version main is 3.32.401.5
All I can find is europe RUU's, with a different radio. Are these safe to flash?

Since your phone is s-off you can write supercid to it and choose any RUU, but stick with the latest WWE ones.
EDIT:
After supercid I suggest this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.53_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed.exe
