So this is my situation,
after using MaximusHD 10.0.0, I would like to go back to my stock rom. The problem is that I lost my nandroid back-up because of flashing another update version of twrp. I'm a little bit new to all this android flashing stuff, so I was wondering if anybody could help me?
I was planning of using a guild for this, which i can't post because i'm a new user, who says just to relock bootloader and use a RUU. But instead of using the T-mobile version, I wanted to use a RUU file for Europe.
Before I was going to start with this, I wanted to make a nandroid back-up, but CWM can't mount my SD-card.
So, how do I start going back to the stock rom from MaximusHD 10.0.0 on my HTC One S C4?
Ask for more info if needed!
[Update]: I found a solution for my can't mount SD Problem. So can somebody help me finding a right RUU? (I live in Belgium)
Try to flash TWRP, then you can backup.
And then flash an RUU

So, do I need to first Relock my bootloader before I run the RUU? Or is it not needed because I'm S-OFF?
im also S-Off and on Hboot 2.16, now to get back to 2.15 is this the right way ?
flash my backup of stock 3.16 Jelly Bean in TWRP
relock the bootloader
Flash 3.16 RUU.exe
Thanks
So, last little question!
What happens if the RUU gives an error?
Does your ROM is still the way it was before if you cancel the RUU after error?
Or is your ROM deleted?

Nothing happens, the installer stops and you are still the same as you were. So it doesn't hurt to try them.

It's really easy, you just have to reflash the modded version of TWRP for MaximusHD 10.0.0. All the other versions of TWRP or cwm won't work.

Yes I know its modded version , I tried to push it but it cant be done, Since I have CWM recovery, i cant put this TWRP one from maximus, it says failed: remote not allowed. I think it is because I relocked my bootloader, If I have to unlock it again, i wont be able to do it since cant use sd properly, so its doomed circle i think, need really big help guys . thanks in advance !
This is what i did.
1.oem relock
2. install org RUU, i downloaded one of the exe's and just let it do it's thing.
3. done.
4. rooted
5. flashed twrp
Okay,
So I just want to be sure about this.
Are these the ONLY steps I have to take?
1) Put device in Fastboot USB
2) Run RUU -> in this case http://www.androidruu.com/getdownload.php?file=Ville/RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe

Relock the phone first, i don't know why, but i read on the forums that you have too when returning to stock.
1. in cmd "fastboot oem lock" phone now says "relocked"
2. from fastboot run RUU exe and wait.
3. done
In my case the RUU flashed me back to hboot 1.13, so install all updates from htc, then it updated to hboot 2.15.
So now you need to re-unlock the phone, and flash a new recovery.
If you want CM11 hboot 2.15 you need to flash modded recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528113
If you don't CM11 flash will fail.
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427&highlight=tutorial and follow STEP 1.
That should re-unlock the phone.
STEP 2 flashes new recovery. Skip STEP 3.
After recovery has been flashed, boot into recovery, then press "reboot" and reboot to bootloader, if you flashed twrp it will ask to install superSU.
Now you are ready to flash anything again.
Is it necessary to re unlock?
Because i'm not planning on changing rom soon.
Thanks for the help!
You don't need to flash new rom, if you want to stay on stock you can, stock will still boot fine afterwards.

Hi all,
Can someone help me to revert back to stock rom? I've tried to install Energy ROM but I got an error, and after that my device doesn't boot anymore (probably because I've wiped everything before installing). So, how can I go back to a stock rom please???

If you wiped all, download the 2.31 ruu in your computer but first install stock recovery and close bootloader (fastboot oem lock comand) and install the ruu from pc i make that 2 times and works for me, like make a clean installation

Try to avoid running the latest RUU for the time being until you have tried other methods, once you run the latest RUU it will update your hboot version to 1.14 and it will cause a lot of problems for you when you want to upgrade your radio rom. Make sure youo have flashed the boot.img after you flash the rom otherwise it will cause your phone to hang on the load screen.
Here is a link to the appropraite RUU files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588. However i recommend you try a fresh install of Energy Rom with a full wipe (cache/dalvik/system/factory reset) and flash boot.img after to see if it fixes your problem because if you run RUU and update hboot there is no going back.
Hi guys, recently my Desire S got some problems with sending/receivng sms and calls (tried 2 sim, different roms) so I decide to revert it back to stock rom and send it to RMA.
First i tried to install a RUU (ok, now I know it has'nt been a good idea), but installation failed with an error like "can't install, wrong bootloader".
Now I have a phone without recovery, with HBOOT 2.00.0002 and says:
***LOCKED***
***Security Warning***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
etc.
Could anyone tell me what to do now? Thank you all!
I would try and run the official ics ruu and then unlock via htcdev then flash custom recovery and then gain root and then change the misc version and then lock bootloader then finally run your region ruu to get back to stock but have a search about coz there is plenty of guides out there.
good luck

I succefully installed ICS RUU and then unlocked with HTC dev. Then I flashed clockwork mod via fastboot. Now I'm still on S-ON and my question is: if I restore an old nandroid backup that I made when I was on old 0.98 hboot, will this overwrite my hboot? I don't know if it works since I'm still S-ON.

No, it won't change your hboot. But you will have to flash the boot.img from the backup in fastboot.

you have to flash the boot.img of a rom if you are s-on
must also be rooted.
1. plug phone into pc
2. mount sdcard in twrp
3. copy rom to your computer
4. extract boot.img
5. reboot to bootloader (also done in twrp)
6. highlight "fastboot" and press power and the phone should say "Fastboot USB"
7. open a command promt (type cmd into search box on windows7) and cd to your adb/fastboot folder
8. type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
9. reboot to recovery and install your rom
10. reboot system when done
if you arent rooted, use the toolkit in the development area and root.
What ROM are you trying to install? If it's any recent aosp your current hboot version is the problem. All current aosp ROMs require the 2.14 hboot which you can get by running the 3.18 RUU. S-off is highly recommended, if you run a jb RUU with SuperCID and s-on your phone will brick.
Sent from my Evita
I am trying to get cm10.2. so should my first step right now be getting the 3.18 RUU or getting s-off?
Ok, first, please read the instructions of any ROM you're going to flash, it's stated very clearly in the cm10.2 thread that an update is needed before flashing the ROM. One of the most important rules of XDA is to search before posting, proper searching limits the amount of unnecessary threads.
Get s-off first, if you don't already have SuperCID you will need that in order to get s-off. Use the hex edit method to get SuperCID, then you can get s-off in the Facepalm S-off thread. Your best bet to go through this process is to temporarily flash a Sense ROM, any Sense 4 Android 4.1 ROM should be fine. Once all that's done you can run the 3.18 RUU, then flash TWRP recovery again and flash CM.

S Off dude. Read what @timmaaa said.

thanks timmaaa!!! I need to head out right now but will try it asap! I apologize for not searching before asking but my phone was stuck on ICS and I thought it would be hopeless to install a custom rom.
got super cid and soff!
ok i got both super cid and soff. so my next step is to flash a sense 4.1 rom correct? any suggestions?
edit: i downloaded RageXL so do i just flash in twrp?
No you don't need to do that, I meant you should try a 4.1 ROM in order to get s-off. If you have SuperCID and s-off now you can go ahead and run the RUU.

Not sure how you got that notion. Its actually a bit easier to mod older firmware versions, due to the fact that HTC keeps plugging the various exploits with successive (newer) firmware builds.
There is currently no firmware version for this device that would leave you "stuck" not being able to flash custom ROMs.
Current state:
Boots into bootloader
Recovery not working
HBOOT 1.13
Fastboot working
S4 Version.
How can I restore my device? Please help
[SOLVED]
Solution:
I flashed PhilZ CWM Touch recovery in the All-in-One Toolkit and it booted into recovery.
Then I flashed a new rom and performed fastboot flash boot boot.img and my device is now working again!
S-ON btw
What do you mean by "restoring"?
I guess it's not booting anymore!?
Either try to flash a new recovery or
relock phone, download and install the latest RUU.

You can use the All-in-One Toolkit to relock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
You can also use the above tool to try to install a recovery - maybe you are lucky
Download the RUU for your provider. Get a list here
http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
Just copy the file to a windows machine, connect to your One S (HTC drivers have to be installed)
and execute the RUU. The phone will be deleted and a stock Rom is installed.
After that you can re-unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and then the Rom you prefer.
Some people say that you don't have to relock the bootloader to install the RUU. Well it never
worked for me, but you can try it first.

This is how I proceed :
1) Downgrade to 2.15 hboot by flashing the old firmware (extract firmware.zip and flash as you did for MaximusHD)
2) Run the latest RUU to get everything clean (I flashed this one)
3) Flash custom recovery with fastboot (TWRP 2.3.X.X)
4) You're done !

In fact, the CID matters if you have one from an operator (have a look here, but not the last one, it's the superCID), in this case, you have to choose a RUU according to your operator.
But being superCID, you can run any RUU, so run the last generic one (see my link) and everything will be ok to start from official clean install. Of course you'll stay S-OFF after running the RUU.
The only thing requested is to be on 2.15 hboot, that's why you have to downgrade to older firmware in order to run this.
Hope it will help.
I have kind of a similar question. After moonshine S-OFF, I'm on modified moonshine HBOOT 2.15.4444. Now I want to go back to the stock HBOOT 2.15.0000. Do I just need to run the RUU to go back? I'm bootloader unlocked, CID T-MOB010, TWRP recovery, and I flashed radio 1.20. Do I need to flash radio back to match the RUU before I run it?

Running an RUU is the safest option, although its a bit hit and miss getting the RUU to run correctly. Flashalot recently made a guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678700) if you run into any problems. I would try it without changing the radio, if it doesn't work then flash the matching one and go from there.
Now I cannot recommend this, as I have only tried it once myself and the consequences if it went wrong could mean a dead phone, but this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274) details how you can manually flash a hboot version in RUU mode since you are S-OFF. It comes from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777223. Use it at your own risk, there have been two incidents of bricks but it depends how lucky you are feeling!

Yeah I heard about that method, but I thought it would be safer to just run the RUU even though it's more work. I think the bricks were from flashing the zips in recovery, not the new ones you flash in fastboot. Either way, I didn't feel like risking it.
Thanks! I'll try the RUU.

Wise choice, yeah you are right, the bricks were when they were flashing the zips in recovery. Its actually pretty safe in RUU mode but what's the point of risking it.

In fact, the CID matters if you have one from an operator (have a look here, but not the last one, it's the superCID), in this case, you have to choose a RUU according to your operator.
But being superCID, you can run any RUU, so run the last generic one (see my link) and everything will be ok to start from official clean install. Of course you'll stay S-OFF after running the RUU.
The only thing requested is to be on 2.15 hboot, that's why you have to downgrade to older firmware in order to run this.
Hope it will help.

I have kind of a similar question. After moonshine S-OFF, I'm on modified moonshine HBOOT 2.15.4444. Now I want to go back to the stock HBOOT 2.15.0000. Do I just need to run the RUU to go back? I'm bootloader unlocked, CID T-MOB010, TWRP recovery, and I flashed radio 1.20. Do I need to flash radio back to match the RUU before I run it?
Thanks

Which recovery did you flash? Try TWRP 2.7.0.0.

So actually you can confirm you are on HBOOT 2.15, Pihllz recovery and no rom installed ?
If yes reboot to bootloader, select clear storage, flash this recovery. Your sdcard should be mountable and let you install your rom.
