How can i return my phone to 100% stock? Can i just relock the BL and flash this RUU herehttps://www.dropbox.com/s/60iuxpjyz...02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_262073_signed.exe My Hboot version is 1.06. Sorry for the noob question but this is my first htc device that i have had to return to stock.
You can't completely return to stock and make it look like you haven't rooted. If anyone goes into the HBOOT after re-locking it, it will say ***RELOCKED*** which makes it a little obvious. But you can restore to the state you had before you rooted, with the HBOOT being an exception. Just relock the bootloader as you said and run your RUU.

Ok I dont care that it says relocked it's just because I sold the phone and the buyer requested the stock rom. Thanks for your quick reply.

With all the bootloader unlocking and flashing up to different RUU's, etc..
Will there be a way that someone might be able to come up with a procedure to revert back to complete stock?
Just wondering if you get going flashing roms and encounter a problem where you will need to exchange or take back your phone, a way to get it to stock form.
thanks

one you have unlocked your bootloader, your phone will either say unlocked or relocked. There's nothing that we can do about that. even if you changed the CID back to the AT&T one.
SuperCID means you can flash any RUU you want

So I guess the best we can do is flash the stock ruu at the time and relock it and hope for the best.

you worried about returning a phone? It's been my experience that they don't look.
My One X have a faulty camera so I need to send it back to warranty. Have Bootloader unlocked through HTCDev, and s-off.
I want to do this
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168578 ths way the watermark will say locked
2 turn s-off to s-on again
3. stock RUU
I don't want to relock the bootloader because I don't want that says relocked, so only change te text
Do I need to do something else? stock recoveru or somtehing???? I don't want to happen this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631466
Thanks a lot

Wrong order. RUU first, then change the text in bootloader, then go back to s-on.
Also, no need to flash stock recovery, the RUU does that.

and if I want to relock the bootlader...the order will be
1. RUU
2. lock bootloader
3. change text
4. s-on
I mean... is posible to relock the bootloader and THEN change te text to locked instead of relocked
Is that correct??
It should be fine in that order seeing as you're s-off.

You'll have to spoof text before relocking you can S-ON after though or spoof it when you spoof the locked.

Hi, sorry man, my english is too poor. so

Thanks
Hi, my AT&T HOX has unlocked bootloader, S-OFF and CID CWS_001 , HBOOT-1.14.0002 , RADIO-0.19as.32.09.11_2 and it's rooted. I'm on stock AT&T 4.0.4 ICS and I have twrp-2.6.3.0-evita. I would like to get the phone completely back to stock. I mean I would like to remove *** TAMPERED *** banner and take from unlocked to LOCKED. I would also like to have stock recovery and update it to latest AT&T update RUU. Please tell me the steps I should take to leave it original and back to factory settings. In a few words, I would like to leave the phone as it had to go to carrier's warranty Thanks!
Just run the 3.18 RUU. At&t don't care if the phone has been unlocked, even for warranty. If you really want to change the "relocked" flag to "locked" there's a thread explaining how to do it in our forum somewhere.

Should I run the RUU being S-OFF and CID being CWS__001 ? Before I run RUU I have to relock, am I right? Please give me detailed steps, thanks!
No, just run the RUU, don't change anything yet.

Do i have to go from s-off to s-on when i want to go back to stock?
If yes, how to do it?
Or will the part when running RUU make me back to s-on & unroot?

No, S -Off will not go away unless you enter a certain command in fastboot.
You can return to stock by relocking your bootloader & running your RUU and you will be good to go. Even if I were selling the phone I wouldn't return it to S-ON. I mean anyone with any knowledge would appreciate it, and if the others simply wouldn't know what s-on/s-off is.
But If you are dead set on it, make sure it is the last thing you do after you have ran the RUU and all seems good. (I think you would have to unlock the boot loader again and S-On, then relock it)
****** WARNING******** Do not type this willy nilly to anyone reading this......This should only be done once everything is okay and you are selling/returning a phone... okay I warned you.

^^^^^DANGEROUS COMMAND^^^^^^^ I hate even posting that because some noob will type it.
In fact here is a guide.

Thanks. Just one more question. in this topic http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...unbrick-restore-htc-one-s-stock-relocked.html
They say nothing about flashing stock recovery or anything, is it really not needed?

I have read on here that you don't have to. That when running the RUU it puts stock recovery on.
I've also read that if you are getting errors trying to run the RUU you needed to put stock recovery on before running the RUU.
I don't know. The times I have run an RUU I always flashed the stock recovery first.
My device is S-OFF and I'm running unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and custom ROM.
I'm going to be returning it so I want to restore to completely stock (including S-ON). Any guides for this?

Not exactly an all in one. Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
The method for turning S-On and relocking can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745257 near the bottom of the first post
Dottat's pre-rooted RUUs can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
My advice would be to flash a pre rooted RUU, Lock the bootloader, turn s-on then flash the stock RUU that matches the pre-rooted RUU. Don't forget to do a factory reset at the end as the RUUs are no-wipe.
I would say that turning s-on should be the last thing you do. Get the phone the way you want it. Flashed back to stock, locked bootloader and whatever else you want to do. Then make sure it's all the way you want it. Once you know for sure, then turn s-on. If you turn it on before you flash back to stock and you should somehow end up with it rooted or the have the tampered flag set, whatever the case may be (I've seen plenty of posts where something like this has happened), you'll be out of luck and not be able to fix it. Do it all and then turn s-on. That's my thinking anyway.

flashing the Stock RUU is the LAST thing you do, to remove root. You need root to turn s-on
edit: you need root to lock the bootloader, but not go S-on. In any event The steps Dottat outlines in his thread says to go S-on first then ruu the stock image
