Hi guys, something pretty bad happened tonight to my Htc One S.
I had maximusHD installed, so of course S-OFF and bootloader Unlocked. However, I was having some problems and decided to revert back to stock. I re-locked the bootloader, changed the CID back to the stock one and flashed the RUU. Everything went perfectly fine. Sort of. I noticed that the RUU I flashed was some kind of pre-release one (the whole interface was watermarked). I got that from androidruu.com
So I downloaded a newer RUU (yes, both of them were for the appropriate country) and flashed that one.
It went on normally for a while and then nothing. Black screen, no response, no charging light. It shows as QHSUSB_dload under Windows and as Qualcomm Gobi Wireless Modem under Linux.
Now, are RUUs so damn risky? Luckily the phone was Relocked and S-ON, so warranty should cover this. I read all kinds of threads about this problem but none of the proposed solutions worked... did I miss something or do really need to send it for repairs?
Thanks!

Hi,
I was stuck with the same issue. What threads have you tried I heard the only way is via JTAG but just wanna know if there is any other way
It seems like I could do something with the phone using QPST (which I have). What I'm missing are the device and chipset-specific files that need to be recovered from a working phone. There has been some talk about QPST and its usefulness here on xda, but I think they only made i work for some Samsung devices with Qualcomm chipsets.
Is there someone who is willing to help me, maybe by dumping the contents of his phone using QPST and posting them? I only need the SPL partition, which is the HBOOT i need to recover the phone.
Please, tell me I don't have to send it to HTC...

QPST is just a software right... no hardware is required for it ha!!!!... I thought jtag is the only way to access a bircked phone.
our pc is able to detect QHSUSB_dload and via that itself will we be able to flash a mobile if we have a system dump??

can someone help me out please? i rooted my g2 today and about 2 hours later dropped it flat on its face. the lcd broke, i cant see anything on the phone just vibrates when i turn it on.. is there some way using the sdk on the computer to unroot the phone so i can send it for an insurance replacement?
If its anything like the desire you can apply a RUU update.exe that flashes the phone rom, hboot, radio and recovery i.e. stock. However if yours is branded i.e. has your carriers software all over it, you'll need to find the corresponding RUU for that carrier. Also if its branded you'll probably (desire does) need to make a goldcard if you were to apply an unbranded RUU.

EDIT: didn't realise the G2 was T-Mobiles phone (if Im not mistaken and check me on this is the HTC Hero)... erm heres a link to a load of G2 roms, radios etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4525584
do some researching into tutorials to make sure your doing the right thing. Also to research is whether your phone is GSM or CDMA as you will also have to flash the right RUU for that too.
When you rooted did you only root the rom or also patch a modded recovery too? If its the rom I suppose you could apply just the rom update, however if you applied a recovery you'll have to flash that with a stock one too.
Sorry its a bit confusing...
Please please forgive the newb question, but once the bootloader is officially unlocked by HTC's method (basically entering a token you pull from your phone, and then flashing a .bin file they send you based on that token), is it reversible? I.E. is it possible to re-lock it back to factory status? I'm assuming not, but can't find any hard evidence one way or the other...
Apparently someone has said you can re-lock it but I've not used it. Better using Revolutionary IMO
Well you can do a "simple" re-lock just to ensure noone else can make changes to it with "fastboot oem lock" - but it's not the factory lock. The bootloader simply says "re-locked" instead of "unlocked", or compared to the factory "locked".
But I was thinking in terms of reverting it truly back to factory status. Again, I don't think it's possible (without HTC's intervention anyway), given the nature of how it was locked, but need someone smarter than me to confirm that suspicion.
So basically, using Super CID, you can run the RUU.exe from the bootloader only, and get your phone back to 100% stock, but it'll still be unlocked. So I'm guessing there is no way to reverse HTC's unlock process.

I flashed the android revolution rom with my device unlocked through htc website, I cannot flash back to stock, I tried the RUU to bring me back to 1.27 and 1.29 and error'd on both of those. I am not sure how to get back to stock. I tried several times. I also cannot get my security to turn off in the bootloader after I unlocked through htc. Has anyone figured out how to do this? I tried the revoltionary.io tool and successfully used the tool only to reboot and see the S-ON in bootloader mode. CRAZY I suggest for anyone to turn their S-OFF using revolutionary.io before they ever attempt to unlock the bootloader through htc. What I am experiencing is error under the wifi switch I cannot seem to get wifi working with any of the roms, probably due to the kernel or not having s-off in bootloader. I tried different and stock kernels only to have the same problem.

Has ANYBODY tried the goldcard method to reflash to stock? Take the rom.zip from RUU and flash in bootloader
So ive gone back to stock htc orange ROM with the CID ORANG001 and i am now also S-On after being on ARHD, after probelms with the phone in case i need to send it back, so by the looks of what you are saying I am not actually back to factory status? So will HTC be able to tell in the case that i have to send it back fro repair or whatever? If so i also need to know how to re lock and get back to complete factory status!?
EDIT: im pretty sure bootloader was already available on the phone, and my firends incredible s, he is able to access bootloader without doing anything to his phone
Gold card doesn't work, otherwise we could've used it before S-OFF

Where is this CID ORANG001 you are referring to? Do you have a link? And as far as I know you can unlock the bootloader but there is currently no true relock.

Hi, list of CIDs for each ROM..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195475
Hello,
I have maybe a stupid newb question. I've been searching around for an answer but with no luck.
My problem is as follow:
I've been using HTC Sensation for half a year now, with custom roms / rooted / SuperCID. So I'm not new to flashing stuff.
Somehow I managed to brick my device before (due to stupid flashing decisions). So I flashed a random EU RUU and send my phone for repairs (via insurance services). They "repaired" my phone. I'm not sure if I got a new one or they really repaired it? (IMEI changed but S/N is still the same)
Today I got my HTC Sensation back. I was very happy and started to check the phone. It appears the bootloader is locked and S-ON. (CID back to T-MO003)
So I tried to S-OFF using revolutionary.io , to bad without luck...
I started searching what might be the problem read something about downgrading and revolutionary works... got a bit confused about all the different posts around.
What is the correct way to get S-OFF, custom recovery, and so on... back on my phone?
Bootloader info:
Locked
S-ON
HBOOT 1.18.0000

Thanks for your time!

how much did you end up paying for repairs
Nothing haha, I was suprised about that!
normally my insurance company bills 30 euro as "own risk".
I've read the agreements of the insurance and saw that damage caused to the phone by falling on the ground was covered. My phone had some visable damage on the egdes.
So I told the insurance that i dropped my phone. And because it stopped working i tried to reinstall the sofware to factory defaults.
What I did is: I flashed a RUU and that caused the brick, because the touch panel stopped working.
They "fell" for it.. kinda
ok tried to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21922297#post21922297
problem, cant get my bootloader unlocked. HTCdev's unlock fails.
Error i get:
C:\bootloader_unlock>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.140s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)
finished. total time: 0.156s
File is in place, tried it multiple times and tried multiple tokens.. no clue on this!
Anyone that can help me to unlock and S-Off my device?
Did you try Revolutionary?
yes, I tried, but keeps failing aswel..
kinda start hating TMO for branding all their phones
This is the output of revolutionary

is USB Debugging activated?
also have you got the drivers from HTC sync installed, but sync uninstalled, together with any other software that might attempt to sync with the phone?
USB debugging tried both enabled and disabled.
HTC drivers version 3.0.0.007 installed.
no other software on my laptop or PC that use my phone.
The thing that confuses me is that after repairs my IMEI number changed but my S/N stayed the same.
Guess they only replaced some hardware and not the total phone..
if that is the case then we should be aware that this HTC Sensation was S-OFF / rooted before.
When my touchpanel stopped working I flashed a RUU and locked bootloader and put the phone back to S-ON. I believe that I was on a lower version HBOOT while I send the phone back (before the phone went for repairs).
Try this
or try unlocking at HTC.

my phone is bootlooping..
Ok did a factory reset via bootloader, now my phone works again.
but still no S-OFF..
The problem most likely is that you entered your details incorrectly at the HTC Dev site for unlocking your bootloader.
I don't think it checks the serial number to be genuine, I think as long as it follows a certain format it's accepted, so I would certainly check what you entered and try re-downloading the file from the Dev site. It's clearly NOT a driver issue, as CMD wouldn't even push the file to the phone if it was.
Hope this helps

Doubt this will work for them, as Revolutionary won't work without an Unlocked Bootloader and this is where they are getting stuck.
Just had contact with HTC themself to ask why the htcdev.com method is not working for me.
They explained that T-Mobile NL put their software on my phone while I send it for repairs. they put their bootloader on my phone, first i was like WTF but then he started mumbling about update that htcdev-tool does not support yet.. after some more " doubt-talk". He asked some software versions and made a case he would put trough to the technical support.
Guess that explains the HTCDev problem?????
/edit: I have tried over 15 times on the htcdev.com method
if I understand jaaystott correctly then first you need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to use revolutionary to S-OFF??
Any otherway to unlock the bootloader, because this htc method will take some time..

never tried it this way but I cant imagine that it would work since the bootloader is still locked.
Flash some other offical RUU, that should do it

Taco root will give revolutionary access to files he cannot modify before. In all cases he can try if it doesn't work he will have to unlock first with htcdev then redo the whole operation.

Yes thats correct. Until the Bootloader is Unlocked nothing can be installed other than apps from the Market
As for the problem, I highly doubt that it's T-Mobile's Bootloader, I mean surely loads of other people on OTA's would have had this issue.. surely somewhere someone has reverted to stock and then realized that this is the problem?
I think it's likely the change of IMEI might have done it, could be the wrong IMEI associated with that Serial Number and so it won't flash.
Hello. I have an HTC One from C Spire (Cellular South). The bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted with no custom ROM. I am using TWRP and SuperSU. I had to use the Sprint Version of TWRP and SuperSU in order to root. I have not had any issues but I am stuck on 4.2.2. I would like to get my phone back to stock so that I can update to 4.3.
After doing: fastboot getvar version-main
It returned: version-mian: 2.04.563.2
My boot menu says:
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBoot-1.54.0000
RADIO-1.00.20.0725
OS-2.04.563.2
I'm fairly new to rooting and I'm not sure how to undo this. I know with other carriers it is quite easy. That's not the case with CSpire. The only thing I can think of is to somehow get S-OFF, although I'd rather avoid doing so. I thought I needed to find the CSpire RUU files, but I do not think that is the case. Since I have not installed a Custom ROM can I just do an Android OTA?
Have you had any success as of yet finding the RUU for CSpire ? I too have an HTC One from CSpire. I have gotten as far as unlocking the phone but until I find the factory flash for our device I am afraid to root my phone... Please help me if you know where to find this... Thanks.....

No luck. I took my phone to CSpire since my SIM card was not working. They saw that it was rooted and wouldn't touch it. They wiped my phone and during the process wiped the OS. So the phone was then useless. The guy suggested that since I had purchased the warranty that I should just drop my phone in a pool so that they could replace it. So I did that. Now I have a brand new one. I wouldn't suggest rooting until someone releases the ruu files. :/
I also tried to use Cyanogen Mod for sprint devices but I could not get cellular data with it. So do not root if you ever plan on restoring.
Thanks

Thanks man I will not touch it past this point until more is released.. Shhhuuuuwwwaa !!!!
I just picked up an HTC One this afternoon. I was hoping there would be some development going on but like everyone else mentioned, I can't find any stock files for C Spire. I hope something will come out soon. When the HTC Hero was released, C Spire had all of the RUU files and updates on their website....
Stock Backup
Is it possible to switch to an alternate recovery such as TWRP or CWM without rooting first? If so, couldn't we just make a backup of a non-rooted stock rom and just revert back to that if there is a problem?
I have posted a non rooted backup of my htc one, we also have a working 4.4.2 rom made just for c spire if anyone wants to check it out. Voice, Data, sms, mms all work.

Alright so I rooted my phone around February and installed CM12.1 but because I want to get a replacement from HTC due to my friend dropping my phone and cracking the screen, so I need to unroot the device so I can use the warranty. Looking around there are some methods but they seem to not work correctly for my phone. And because I am a total dingus, I accidentally relocked the bootloader and now I can't reflash a custom recovery. I have tried installing RUUs from different threads on this site via hboot but they seem to not work. I don't know if anyone can help me if you can I really would appreciate it and would like to get this fixed as soon as possible. The CID is VZW__001 and the main OS on the bootloader says 3.28.605.4 but the box says 1.55.605.2 so I don't know which one is the correct one so if someone could clear something up and give me a link to a correct RUU for my phone that would be amazing. Thanks in advance
