I had ended up using the all in one HTC One S root utility that was linked in the fourms. After following all the steps that where listed (While following the youtube guide) My phone when on bootloader will show ****Unlocked**** across the top but s=off any ideas on why that is? I havent quite been able to figure it out im just looking for more information so when I get home I can have at it again :/ just find it odd that given the steps and the fact I had done them all to the T im still having this issue. Any help would be great thanks for taking the time.
I assume this might be better fit for Q&A if your a mod i apologize if you could move it that would be great couldnt figure out how to delete the poist :/ "edit/delete" wont remove the post :/ sorry again
Well if you can post a photo of the boot loader screen that would help me in sorting out your issue.

Don't know what you are disappointed about. S-OFF stands for security being off. This may sound bad, but from a developer perspective, it's pretty good. If you have true S-OFF like you claim you do, you can flash ROMs, kernels, radios, etc... in a recovery with no issues at all; regardless of what hboot or custom recovery you have. Unlocked means that you can flash custom recoveries and such using fastboot, which is what you want. To sum it up, S-OFF is good; many devs are trying to get S-OFF, but NONE can figure it out. Just be happy about it.
Having this 'Unlocked' text is what you're going to get if you root/unlock the phone. No way to get around it. If you want to return to complete stock settings and re-lock, your best bet is to be on stock recovery and flash an RUU that corresponds to your network. You may also want to try 'fastboot oem lock'.

Facepalm. You do NOT have S-OFF, What the hell made you think you did. This is normal... Wow. You need to install a custom recovery to flash zips, by the way.
Hey easy on him, he was just mistaken. OP, do you need me to show you how to go back to stock?

Oh sweet jesus you're lucky as hell.
Never ever ever sell your phone, because you got your hands on a developer one or just a phone that slipped through the cracks, because you have full S-OFF.
You should be able to flash ROMs in recovery without going to fastboot to ever flash a kernel, if the ROM is set up for it.

Hey everyone,
I am looking to start an unbricking project, to help people that are bricked with QHSUSB_DLOAD message, seeing if the Sensation method will work, just with a One S HBOOT file instead of the Sensation HBOOT one.
So I'd like to ask if anyone knows where I can find the HBOOT.nb0 files starting from 1.06 to 1.13? If you have them, could you please upload any that you may have.
Thanks,

I'm like HTC - I send OTA's out in batches, if something goes wrong, pull the update
Sending out a second batch of PMs
Project discontinued due to lack of interest.
Unfortunately no one replied or even sent a PM back saying they couldn't do it. If anyone wants to try it, fire me a PM and I might be able to do something.
Edit: Why the 1 star rating? This forum amazes me sometimes. I sent many PMs and no one was interested. That's not my fault.

Good news: your phone is not bricked, as it's responding, it's just stuck on boot, so there's something wrong with the ROM you flashed (maybe a wrong one?).
Have you tried taking your battery off, waiting for a while, put in back in, and then tried to enter CVM? I'd like to help you further, but I don't own that phone.
Also check the Q&A and General threads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1138 for a similar problem.

If you used HTCDev to unlock your phone then you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) every time you install a new custom ROM. Check in the threads for full instructions on it.

Phone was rooted using TWRP. I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot up into anything but the page with the TAMPERED RELOCKED screen, also has bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. Am I screwed? I just wanted to revert my rooted phone back to the original OS and it's been a freaking NIGHTMARE ):

So you've relocked the bootloader, and then nothing else?
Run the RUU from the bootloader screen. Make sure the RUU is for YOUR phone
That's the thing, I can't get into it! I can't get into that screen where I could access stuff to INSTALL, MOUNT, etc.. it keeps taking me to the white screen with bootloader,reboot, etc.

Seeing as though you have relocked the bootloader you can either a. unlock the phone again so you can install a custom rom or b. run a ruu to get it back to stock.
Yeah because the problem is i have no OS to boot into. It just goes into recovery mode. Can you point me in the direction on how I can unlock the bootloader again?

No no no. You said you wanted to go back to stock correct?
Download your stock RUU, and run from that white menu that says RE-LOCKED at the top. That's your bootloader
Ok, when you mean run from that white menu that says RELOCKED, how can I run it from that menu if I cant get into anything from this menu? Do you mean just run the RUU program from my computer and have my phone connected to the PC? I used to be able to go into that TWRP screen when i was in bootloader but now I can't.
XHaGGeNx said:
Ok, that's what I am doing already. I am downloading the RUU for my phone. Hope to gawd this will save my phone. I am just worried because it's literally stuck at this bootloader menu screen. I can't do anything else.

Believe me, the fact your screen is on is a sign you are not bricked. Run the RUU (Make sure it's one that is easily rootable, like the 1.85 for ATT), and go through the process of bootloader and unlock and rooting. Hope this helped
I am glad to hear that. It's almost done downloading, about 4 minutes left. I really want to thank you for helping me out here. I am such a screw up with this stuff. Sigh. anyways, I'll let you know what happens here shortly. Thank you so much once again. Really..
Honestly man once you get back to stock, don't worry about unlocking and rooting it. You have no business rooting your phone and flashing roms if you can accidentally delete your os, backup file, and the recovery partition. Not trying to be rude, but think about it, you could of destroyed your phone with one more bad flash
It's working! It's updating and everything. Phew! No offense taken, I hear ya and agree. Just being a noob at all this can put me into a lot of trouble. I have learned a lot of stuff though lol. Anyways, thank you everyone for helping me! I should be good from here
Glad to hear its working
Cheers man, good to hear everything is fixed.
If you need anything else, contact me. There are a bunch of ways to.
As for rooting again? Just read up and you'll be set.

Hate to bump heads with ya dude but this isn't the way to be, I frown upon threads like this as well but I encourage others to root no matter who they are. Granted they do need to take the time to research what they are doing and how to get themselves out of a hole like this but someone has to help them learn
This is a community working towards a common goal, you never know maybe this dude will make his way towards development somewhere in the future. Or more likely since others helped him in his time in need he will turn around and try to do the same for someone else

how did you fix your phone i almost have same problem
He didn't delete ROM, recovery or anything. He relocked his bootloader. It just won't let you reboot unless you relock with a stock recovery flashed.

I kinda have the same problem, and RUU tells me phone is off, error 170.
Thanks
Hi basically I have a very retarded lot of HTC care people in my town. I wanted to get back stock on my phone. After searching long and hard did not find my RUU anywhere. (Its the HTC__038 India VilleC2 for HTC One S). As my bootloader was unlocked guess they were unable to flash the ROM.
Now I thought I will lock the bootloader and then take it over to them for rework. But when I do it, the phone gets stuck on boot and does not load further. I have to again unlock, and restore before the phone becomes operational again.
So can someone tell me how to fix this issue if at all??
I have 3 choices.
1. I get the RUU for my phone and all is sweet.
2. I get a NANDROID from someone else and flash that and try to update. (All I am trying to do it get to 4.0.4)
3. Lock bootloader and take it to HTC care in a working condition else they threaten to ship it to HQ for checking. That will mean 30 days (min) downtime. no cant do!!
So if anyone has any suggestions I will be glad to hear. Thanks.

Without the right RUU you have no chances here if you ask me.
A nandroid from another phone will not work for you (at least I know somebody who tried it once and it resulted in a bootloop).
But there should be a RUU for you. I can't imagine there is no RUU for India!

Well I have been trying for ages to come across this RUU but to no avail. That's the reason I am still on a custom ROM as I can't do any updates. I am really interested in trying other ROMs. But there is no way of doing it without the 4.0.4 update. Thanks for the help though.
