Unroot HTC One S, just to be sure - HTC One S

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.

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.

Debrand?

Ok so I got a sensation off eBay and its on orange unlocked to any sim. I root and s off and flash a stock HTC Rom great.
1. How can I unroot to get back to original hboot but with stock current Rom for HTC sensation as if I brought sim free with out orange bloated stuff.

I know you might think I am mad to want to un root but this is because I want to just get read of the orange stuff. If the flashed Rom is stock HTC will I get ota updates like everyone else would normally?

You can have s-off and stock ROM without root. S-off and root are not the same thing. Also, I believe you can be s-off with unrooted stock ROM and get official OTA's if you have the stock recovery. And to more directly answer your question, if you are running a rooted stock ROM (with stock recovery), you should be able to get OTA's but they might break root. That would be an easy fix since you would retain s-off and could just flash cwm and use that to flash su.

Stock recovery meaning nandroid back up of a stock rom?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If you want to go back to 100% but unbranded, you need to:
1. Write Super CID to the phone (see the S-Off guide in the Dev forum for details)
2. Flash the RUU you wish to use (either 1.45.401.3 of 1.73.401.4)
3. Write the stock CID to the phone (stock = HTC__001)
4. Then S-ON, again using the S-OFF guide
The phone will now bee 100% stock and unbranded. I'd personally stick to the non-XE ROMs as the OTA's will work without issues, can't comment on the XE RUU

CleanRom 2.6 SE is pretty close, and better performance too.

I really like CleanRom 2.6 so far. Better than ATT stock after a couple days usage for now.
And cleanrom is only bound to get better a birdy told me.

Yup, CleanRom 2.6 SE is the way to go.

Thank you guys for the recommendation. I cannot upgrade to 1.85 because I'm root and every time the update try to install I get the RED triangle. I unrooted with otakeeper tried a couple of times and nothing... So I'm looking for the closest stock experience.
I ruu'd back n forth between 1.73, 1.82 and1.85 without a problem several times. . Do you have supercid? Confirm w. "fastboot OEM readcid" and if so then just relock the bootloader, "fastboot OEM lock" keep your htcdev token u used before, run the ruu, when finished unlock bootloader again "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin". Flash your recovery then flash any available rims and you'll reboot rooted and ready. It should be full proof, if there's an issue pm me and I'll upload my 1.82 and 1.85 ruu's that I've used to jump back n forth to my dropbox for u. The ruu won't work if u don't relock your bootloader or if you changed your cid to ROGER_001 instead of 11111111 when you originally unlocked your bootloader.

I just root my phone with one click nothing else. I download the 1.85 update OTA. I'm avoiding the others method because I don't want to delete my data ect... I just wanted to upgrade on top of the Stock ROM. I think I'm out of luck... I came from the Captivate and I know the whole process. Thank you!
I'm sorry, I don't mean to question or assume anybody's knowledge, I just try to be thorough as I can when I'm trying to help. Hope I wasn't offensive.

Another vote for CleanROM SE. Its mostly stock, but with some mods (most of which are improvements over stock IMO). Although some things I consider HTC stock are removed (in particular, the Stocks app/widget).
You can also flash the following, which is just the stock 1.85 but deodexed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674080
But be aware this one WILL wipe data. But you should wipe data anyway, when flashing a custom ROM. Keeping data can lead to unpredictable bugs.
For either of the above, you will need to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, and install CWM in order to install.
+1 for CleanROM 2.6 SE
Very fast and smooth ROM.. better than stock

Return rooted phone for warranty?

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"

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.

[Q] Root on One XL?

Hello,
I am running One XL 4.0.3, the NON-ROGERS/AT&T VERSION, its the Asia version, i just received that i can upgrade to 4.0.4, but idk that if i can still get rooted if i upgraded to 4.0.4(or later on 4.1).
P.S.: I don't want to go for the official Bootloader Unlock.
Thanks.
Depends what version of 4.0.3 you're running...
Go to Settings, About, Software Info, More, Build number.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
i would just do htcdev unlock, i assume u know what you are doing and i assume htc will honor anything that isnt from an idiot flashing the wrong thing. so just do an htcdev unlock.
I don't want to lose my warranty... (in case of any screen damage, etc)
I have ROOTED, running of 4.0.3, but i know that i will lose my root when i upgrade to 4.0.4, and i am wondering if i still can root my phone on 4.0.4(without htcdev.com)
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Yes there is a way although we need to know your exact software version (1.73,1.85,1.93). If you have the right version somewhere in the development section there is a method.

Ok
I have been rooted on 1.77.708.3
Now, I've updated to 1.89.708.9, I lost my root permission, what should I do?
I am running Android 4.0.3, 16GB version of HTC One XL.

Now, i've tried to downgrade my ROM back to 1.77.708.3, but it fails.

Flash the boot.IMG first through fast boot then flash the ROM.
Also rooting will void your warranty. Once the phone is unlocked it will be "tampered"

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
