back to complete stock

With all the bootloader unlocking and flashing up to different RUU's, etc..
Will there be a way that someone might be able to come up with a procedure to revert back to complete stock?
Just wondering if you get going flashing roms and encounter a problem where you will need to exchange or take back your phone, a way to get it to stock form.
thanks

1.change you cid back to your original one.
2. relock your bootloader.
3. flash a ruu..

one you have unlocked your bootloader, your phone will either say unlocked or relocked. There's nothing that we can do about that. even if you changed the CID back to the AT&T one.
SuperCID means you can flash any RUU you want

So I guess the best we can do is flash the stock ruu at the time and relock it and hope for the best.

you worried about returning a phone? It's been my experience that they don't look.

Little advice please

So I'm currently on CR5 but would like to go back to stock/rooted and just remove the bloatware. I'm having problems getting texts at times and my Bluetooth seems spotty. Want to see if it's the Rom/radio or if its the phone/network.
Can I just relock and run RUU and if so can someone tell me where to get the RUU from??
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, you can run an RUU, but you don't need to re-lock, it's not necessary as far as I know. *You need to relock in order to flash a RUU, sorry!

If I'm not mistaken your bl has to be relocked to run an ruu I may be wrong though

I remember flashing a stock ROM, but it wasn't a RUU.
You're right, I will edit my post, thank you!

Just flash the stock rooted rom.

RUU?

If I flash an RUU does that make me S-On and relock my bootloader? If so where can I find one? If it doesn't relock or do S-On can I get some instructions? I just see instructions on how to root etc but not vice versa.
Thanks

No it will not make you S-on or re-lock your bootloader. What are you trying to achieve exactly? Return to stock?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727831 for RUU, that'll take you back to stock but not back to s-on or locked bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699065 you can try this tool to relock the bootloader, you don't need to re s-on though. apparently it's very risky on the Verizon m8

Getting to stock when s-off

Do i have to go from s-off to s-on when i want to go back to stock?
If yes, how to do it?
Or will the part when running RUU make me back to s-on & unroot?

No, S -Off will not go away unless you enter a certain command in fastboot.
You can return to stock by relocking your bootloader & running your RUU and you will be good to go. Even if I were selling the phone I wouldn't return it to S-ON. I mean anyone with any knowledge would appreciate it, and if the others simply wouldn't know what s-on/s-off is.
But If you are dead set on it, make sure it is the last thing you do after you have ran the RUU and all seems good. (I think you would have to unlock the boot loader again and S-On, then relock it)
****** WARNING******** Do not type this willy nilly to anyone reading this......This should only be done once everything is okay and you are selling/returning a phone... okay I warned you.

Thanks. Just one more question. in this topic http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...unbrick-restore-htc-one-s-stock-relocked.html
They say nothing about flashing stock recovery or anything, is it really not needed?

I have read on here that you don't have to. That when running the RUU it puts stock recovery on.
I've also read that if you are getting errors trying to run the RUU you needed to put stock recovery on before running the RUU.
I don't know. The times I have run an RUU I always flashed the stock recovery first.

[Q] How to run OTA

How do I run the OTA JB 422 zip file I got off here, want to go back to stock Boost 4.2.2 JB, I am on latest Hboot and have TWRP recovery and S-on, the help would be needed, I tried with TWRP but it failed.... thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:

You need stock recovery, stock system partition (nothing removed) and with S-on a locked bootloader.

How to back to S-ON?
There is a risk to loose data?
Thanks old.splatterhand

S-on is a simple fastboot command.
But that way you don't get stock system.
Easiest way if you are S-off is a hboot downgrade and running a RUU.
For that i made a guide, look into my index thread.
And yes, you will loose your data this way.

No problem for that, I don't need bloatware from phone operator...

For what reason do you want to go S-on?
I would only do that for warranty or if you want to sell it!
This is the wrong thread, the guide thread i mean is made by me.

I won't sell it, only update the firmware to the latest official version.
Possibly, flash a firmware without bloatware.

So what software are you running?

You have a branded phone. That means, you need a backup (from yourself or maybe someone else) with the exactly same software number to get the next update. It does not help to flash a free, stock rom.
Or, you debrand your phone, with supercid, hboot downgrade and RUU (which means losing data).
The choice is yours...

Make sure, you have Supercid before.

In this guide, the download link are broken.
I can't find the correct moonshine s-off for my version, what I must use?
Thanks again

I thought you are already S-off?
What link is broken, they seem to work fine on my end.

Now works, Iit was a problem with DNS, sorry!
A nice software to make & restore a full backup of the phone?

A nand backup in recovery is a "must".
For userdata the app you need is Titanium Backup!
