Return to Stock

I'll tell you briefly my experience
I bought an unbranded HTC One S online. When it arrived I was surprised to find that it was T-Mobile branded (european version). So I sent it back asking for a no brand one, which arrived 1 week later. When I turned it on (it was half-charged) I found this written:
"this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside htc with out htc write permission failure to comply my lead to legal action"
I checked the bootloader and found it was unlocked.
I think they sent me back my T-Mobile one unlocked with a stock rom.
1) How did they remove T-Mobile brand?
2) How can I see if my phone is rooted?
3) Can I receive OTA upgrade even if the bootloader is unlocked?
4) Is it possible to return to unbranded stock with locked bootloader and no root permissions (as an original unbranded phone)?
thanks

They prob rooted and debloated all the stuff on there removing all them apps many Roms have the option for this when installing them. To check if your rooted there is an app called root checker in app store download that. U can return to stock debloated by running ruu and u will have to get the tmobile ruu and specific country but it is de bloated and yea u can do the original HTC updates If your still on stock I don't know if u have to lock bootloader tho personally I think u should get custom Rom because a lot more customisation and Developers build their Roms around the latest HTC updates

You have to flash the boot.img, probably.

There is no "official" stock Rom..."official" would be an RUU...what carrier do you have? If T-Mobile, does your phone have a crap load of extra T-Mobile junk apps on it? If not, he probably installed a Rom based on the 4.1.1 leak, which could be a few different roms here. What does it say under Settings, About, Software Information? Do you still have a custom recovery?

looks like you are on the virtuous ville+ rom
which is based on the leaked ruu for the one s se aka ville+ which explains your signature "sent from htc one s special edition"
if you look at the screenshots in the thread and the build number etc. you will see that its identical to yours.
if you are on stock rom your build number should be
3.16.401.8 (for the unbranded rom)
so, no, you are not on stock rom.

HTC One S Tmobile 4.1.1 Update

Is there someone who have the beta 4.1.1 from htc one s here?
can you make a dump of your system and share whit us so we can start roll out some custom roms ans things like that?
this is just for development porpuses.
