[Q] Can't find my RUU

Hello,
My desire s is damaged, and i want to send it to HTC to get it fixed,
But my device has a custom ROM and is S-ON.
But i would like to change it back to stock, so they cant see that i put i custom rom on it.
I have searched several threads, but i got stuck with finding the correct RUU.

It is the europe unlocked one, but i can't find it in the Filefactory list.
And is there a way to remove 4EXT recovery and get the stock one?
Thanks,

And what is this then?

[Q] [HELP] Can't load Recovery or Boot into ROM after HBoot 2.16

Hi everyone,
I tried to update my HTC One S (S4) HBoot from 1.06 to 2.16 so that I can run KitKat 4.4.4. But after the update, I'm not able to boot into TWRP or my original rom. I followed these instructions to update HBoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266
If I choose recovery, it just reboots and gets stuck on the CyanogenMod Boot Screen.
I tried RUU but that failed -RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe.
I tried flashing TWRP again but that failed - twrp-2.7.1.0a-ville-dm.img, twrp-2.7.1.2-ville.img, twrp-2.7.1.2-ville-dm.img.
I tried fastboot erase cache.
Any other thoughts?

Thanks! I actually fixed the issue before i saw your post.
I tried to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755
found my cid wasn't correct so i changed it to 11111111 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536
this finally allowed me into twrp, but my internal storage was corrupted.
so this helped: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156
then i was able to install the rom from the first link, after that updating to cm11 was a breeze.
hope this helps someone.

[Q] Trouble getting the latest 5.0.1 OTA. Could use some help

I doubt it's 5.0.1. You aren't even up to date as is. Screen shot the message.

Here it is.

There wasn't anything in the cache folder so I'll DL it again a not try to run it.

I got the phone used and have had it for about 6 months or so. It came rooted with the stock sense ROM. I quickly got rid of sense. It started giving me the OTA Update notice about 2 days ago.
I have tried to install it a couple of times. Each time, after it downloads, it goes to reboot and ends up in the bootloader. It will not go into recovery, saying in the quick little flashing screen in the bootloader that the image file doesn't match. I end up having to flash a new recovery (TWRP) into the phone using ADB. After the failed install it boots into the existing Sinless ROM without any issues.
I have the .zip. I do not have a account where I can host the file other than Google Drive. It is 528 MB. I have it on my Google Drive and here is a link:
OTA.zip

Your m8 is running a gpe Rom. The firmware is Verizon. That's why you aren't able to flash the ota. That ota doesn't really do us any good. You can however update your vzw firmware (not using this zip) and then you can flash the latest gpe Rom which is L.

Thanks dottat! i will work on getting the firmware installed now. Is THIS the latest firmware that I would want? And All that I need is the firmware, not the recovery or boot image, correct?

Yes. That's the right firmware. It already has kernel and recovery omitted.

I am also running the PACMAN 4.2.2 rom.
Every RUU that I have tried has failed, so I was attempting to get S-OFF so I could flash one, but moonshine/rumrunner require that fastboot be disabled and I do not see that as an option in my rom.
I also tried to flash a newer ROM but I got an error about the bootloader being out of date.
Can anyone provide me with a way to get back to stock or get S-OFF?
Thanks.

Solved my own problem. I flashed an old stock 4.1 ROM that worked OK except for ADB on the windows side. I was able to use rumrunner on Linux to get S-OFF. Then I flashed venom 2.1 so that ADB would work on Windows and the RUU ran without any problems.

Where did you find the old stock Rom? I'm having problems flashing any roms on mine

I believe I used the TMOUS one that can be found in this thread. That should be a JB rom.

So now I could RUU and do s-off with rum runner.
My phone boots now but I still can't install any custom Roms

H3G htc one s bricked

After playing around with roms a while back i cannot get the phone back to stock.
When trying to flash roms in TWRP i get an error saying /sdcard/ cannot be mounted.
When running RUU's none of them work, even with a locked bootloader.
Please help i cannot find the right RUU.
