Hi.
I might get a deal with someone who wants to trade his Galaxy Nexus. I'd like to get it back to stock with locked bootloader and no root and no 4ext recovery. I want it to be like when you get it from the store. Can anyone help me with that?
Regards,

oi.
Have found 2 topics on my matter, but none offer a reasonable explanation, so I'm going to ask again in hope of getting one.

The later one is only for some G1, so I guess it'd brick my phone, which I do not really feel doing.
So basically my question is:
1. After using Revolutionary to get s-off, will I EVER be able to get back to stock, i.e. S-ON, firmware?
2. Also, if I would use Revolutionary and HTC decides to push out an unlocked bootrom, can I switch to that one afterwards?
3. If the above is true, would some well-experienced user post a guide how to gain factory-like phone ?
This one talks about s-off and s-on. Not sure about switching bootloaders though.

Just run an RUU to undo it.

My build number is 2.08.401.1 can anybody find me the complete correct stock and ruuthing. Also can you tell me if I would just nex to flash them like a normal Rom. Story but Iwould also really like to know if I would get HTCsync back and be able to receive normal updates . Thank you for your time and help
There is a guide in the dev forum same one as rooting. It's a sticky at top and the bit at end on s-on and stock ruu at end is what you want...

Thank you, and thanked.
I have noob question, if I want to go back to stock, n load the ruu, do I have to change s-off to s-on when I go back to stock? Or can I go to stock and keep s-off? Thanks

you can keep s-off after using the ruu.

You better tell us how he got s-off. I cant imagine he is actually.

Did you or your friend achieve full S-OFF? If so, how? It's kind of a big deal. I personally don't think you mean Security off to security on on the bootloader; maybe you mean stock recovery?

I think he meant "unlocked" bootloader, not S-OFF.
The only thing he wanted was to reclock it.
Thread should be closed as he did what he whanted to do by himself.
He's clearly stated it though twice that it was s off and now s on u can't get mixed up lol either were getting trolled or he doesn't know the benefits of s off lool

He is most likely a noob and doesn't know the difference between s-on/off and a unlocked bootloader

If you don't exactly know what you do, that's not so hard to mix up...
The worst thing is that WE keep on discussing about something we all know as a mistake.

Some phones (very few) are shipped s off. If it is so, then just keep it that way and update through xda. We get all the new stuff anyway
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
If he really had s-off it wouldn't matter cause he wouldn't need to relock the bootloader he could flash ANYTHING he wanted. oh well thread topic looked cool for a second. Anyways...

Just think it's a noob looking for attention. If he did want S-ON, he would've replied. I think he pretty damn well knows what S-OFF is, just wanted some attention for a few days.
He did replied to the first responce to his question and then the semi flames started for him not knowing any better. Noob for sure. He will know the difference now or and hopefully search before posting next time. Hopefully by then he knows the true status of his phone that's just something we have to deal with during this stage of a new phone. Once development picks up and there are more threads and more people posting useful information for the noobs to learn from it will make things a lot better.

I plan on rooting a friends Inspire 4g and I was wondering which method should I use to root the phone? I understand there are 2 different ways. It's an HTC Inspire 4g 2.3.5 with the build number 3.20.502.52 cl380259. I can't seem to find any recent ways to find out how to do this except this on here:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88
Is that the only way to do it now? I have experience with rooting. I've rooted 2 HTC arias in the past along with a moto back flip and atrix 2, so I do have rooting and flashing experience. Im just trying to get some more info before doing this. Thanks for any and all help.
Yes, you would need to do it that way for S-Off. You could also unlock the boot loader with HTCDEV only, but you will be S-On and get fewer options that way.

Well I plan to only flash one rom on this device and never mess with it again. Preferably CM9/10. I don't plan on messing with different roms after that. So if I root using HTCDEV, will I be able to flash one of those ROMS?
Yes. You will need to fastboot flash boot.img separately after the ROM.
Banana gave me a link for AAHK and its better, I have s off and unlocked bootloader.....I've never used HTC dev unlock

Then you don't have an unlocked bootloader. You are S-OFF, which means that the nand partition security is off now. That allows you to flash anything you want...much better than an unlock bootloader only.
Help please

So if I just root and have S-OFF without having an unlocked bootloader, I can flash any ROM of my choosing? That seems like it's the best way to go or the easiest at least. Could you give me or mind PM'ing me the AAHK that you used Jrhodes?
Check the thread linked in my signature.

Yes. If http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88 applies read it. If not just use AAHK from the same site. I don't know anything about how the GS3 is unlocked. The link in my signature (to the thread in the DHD forums, which is the international variant of the same phone) will help.
