ok.. Obviously I have a Verizon HTC One M8. I had previously rooted and put the venom ROM on it. Long story short, I went unrooted the phone, went back to S-On and thought everything was going to be ok when I called verizon for a real hardware defect. Problem is.. It shows "Software status: Modified in the bootloader and in the software information screen. I am on verizons official 4.4.4 release. how can I get the software status back to "official" without jumping thru the S-off and rooting hoops again?

Thank you very much for the links and the insight, I appreciate it. On a weird side note... I downloaded and installed the HTC sync manager so I could back up my stuff. There was a repair feature, so I clicked on it. 15 minutes later I am back on official status.

The repair was on the sync manager that I installed on my PC. Plugged my phone in and it gave me an option to repair.

It's the same thing my s on exe's use. Only difference is sync checks in with HTC. And sync won't repair a custom Rom. Use the exe's I made to be safe.

Edit...I just opened this in webview so I could see your screen shot. You aren't getting repair option because you flashed the hk mod and it wasn't modified for use on vzw. I can tell by your mainver that it's not vzw. Should be 605 not 401. 401 is intl based roms. You can relock now but do not do not turn s-on until you fix your firmware using my exe.

I am using an EU phone, it's not on Verizon, sorry I should have specified. I bought it on Amazon.co.uk. I then followed this guide to revert it (which worked fine) but the "Software Status: Modified" flag still appeared.
I can't set S-OFF because of some errors that come up after chugging bottle 1.

@Sneakyghost probably has a file that will help you clear that problem. You are gonna need the latest signed encrypted firmware.zip for your phone. Vzw so far is the only carrier that gets the repair option in HTC sync.

Download that. Extract it. Find the firmware.zip inside it. Do not extract that. Instead, flash it in fastboot mode in ruu mode.
Fastboot oem rebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
If you see any output about about immediately reflushing repeat the above command.
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
To get back to boot loader.
What will happen if it's not the correct version? Will I brick my device?
According to that screenshot it is not. Plus you are s-on so it won't allow you to flash wrong firmware.

Hi guys,
My phone now currently running android 2.3.4. My phone originate from Hong Kong and already unlock by the seller.
I received an update which include security fix by HTC.
I download the update and it require me to reboot to complete update. While installing, the error signal show up and i was stuck over there.
I tried factory reset and also hard reset, but the result still the same.

Actually i not really know how to do. Can you provide me a link for RUU?an official ROM link for me to download perhaps.
I did try to ask the repairing shop, they not dare to help me to reformat, the reason is, they say my phone originate from Hong Kong and i currently now in Malaysia.They do not want to take the risk. I'm so Helpless =(
Before you do any more flashing of anything, go back to the bootloader (pull battery, then power button + volume down) and post here EXACTLY what you see on the screen. If possible just take a picture of the screen.
It makes me nervous that you got your phone from Hong Kong and then an update didn't work. There are a lot of fake Sensations coming out of China. They look like the real ones, but the hardware is different and firmware/roms/radios made for the Sensation won't work on them.
If you have a fake one, trying to flash an RRU on it will deffiantely kill it and kill it badly.

Yeah that looks all legit.
I didn't mean to scare you. But that's been happening lately where someone buys a knock off, tries to install Sensation software, and bricks the phone.
To fix your problem you may have to use ADB to install a custom recovery. Or you should be able to do it using a PM58IMG file. I'm pretty sure there's a PM58IMG file for flashing 4EXT in the 4EXT thread in the dev section. Just put the file on your SD card (using a computer, obviously since the phone doesn't work) boot into bootloader, and let it run. You should then have 4EXT
You can also upgrade the firmware the same way if you want to get ICS or Jelly Bean.
I think your problem is a lot more fixable than it seems. So don't stress. You should have this up and running oon.

Welcome to moonshine s-off for the HTC One SV . Developed by Fuses, beaups, and Hyuh. Enjoy.
1.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
2.) make sure adb and fastboot drivers are working
3.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
4.) if you are having problems with fastboot, try a usb 2.0 port.
5.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
6.) make sure other programs that interfere with adb and fastboot are uninstalled (PDANet, Kies, etc.)
7.) make sure htc sync is uninstalled
8.) if you use a third party firewall, be sure to grant access to distiller.exe as it checks for updates
9.) MAKE SURE HTC SYNC IS UNINSTALLED
10.) YOU MUST UNZIP THE ARCHIVE BEFORE RUNNING DISTILLER. DO NOT JUST TRY TO RUN IT FROM THE ARCHIVE.

No, jelly bean (only for boost mobile is ics).
You have to look at the Software Number.
For ics you can use Supercid and Facepalm S-off (except boost mobile).
All devices now supported
Boost (k2_cl) cricket (k2_plc_cl) gsm lte(k2_ul) and gsm only (k2_u)
All one Sv users can install this, it only takes five minutes. Boost mobile is still in testing, but it fully works.
Thanks beaups and fuses. Without them this wouldn't be possible at all.

Install custom roms
Hi, is there a change that something can go wrong using this method? Because I have used it after htc dev-unlock an rooting, and have S-off, but my phone doesn't install a custom rom. I understand that you have to be S-off to be able to install custom roms, right?

If you see, that you are S-Off, you should be S-Off, i think.
And you don't need to be S-Off to flash custom Roms, you also can flash with S-On, but you need to flash boot.img with fastboot then.
As i have seen your phone info, you have hboot 2, that means you had already jb installed. So why do you want to use the stock, odexed rom instead?

I want that because my phone acts weird. It doesn't remember whether I want to use my launcher or Sense, if I put a widget on my homescreen the next day there's a grey area where the widget was, etc. So I thought if I can install a stable rom that might be over.

It doesn't change unlocking or S-Off. It deletes all user data, all you brought to your phone (not external sd, internal sd i'm not sure), but not things in system.
It sets the software itself to the point where the phone came to you.
Worked perfect!! Nice job.

Here a quote from another forum (thanks to wetbiker):
wetbiker7 said:
Make sure you have removed HTC sync from you computer. Also, make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer settings on your phone.
If you have HTC sync, make sure that you reboot the pc and the phone so that everything is reset and the files are completely removed from the pc.
Unzip the Moonshine zip that you downloaded and place it in a folder. With your phone fully booted, plug in USB and connect to pc. Click on the distiller and follow the prompts. Also, make sure you have a good charge on your phone because it'll take it between 5 and 10 minutes.
Also, if you are running a custom kernel, you will need to reinstall it after you have finished with Moonshine.
Edit: disable anti-virus and run the distiller as administrator.
Hope this helps.

Hi.
Quick question, I'm trying to help someone back in France with this.
If you're on JB (official OTA update) and do this procedure, will you :
- keep your data as they were just before ?
- keep your rom as it was before (ie : will you be able to install the next OTA updates without any trouble) ?
In one word : does this process just does S-OFF or does it change anything else ?
Thanks a lot !

So I just got my Sensation today(unlocked, Bell version z710a) and followed this guide(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861) up to step 4A. The problem is, I forgot to enable smartflash(step 3A) before flashing the rom(same rom attached in step 4A).

And this message keeps popping up. Sometimes I'll remove the battery and turn it back on and this will come up:
And I will be able to go through the normal setup with the message popping up every 2 seconds. But as soon as I press "finish" after going through the setup, the phone will still not boot up properly and get stuck on either the htc logo or a blank screen.
I would truly appreciate any help, I've tried wiping data and rebooting as well, and I have no idea what to do now. Thanks!

Go to recovery ( remove battery , insert battery , hold volume down and power button )

I've tried that as well, but get no results. I also tried relocking bootloader and unlocking again, but i still end up and the lockscreen and go through setup wizard, only to end up stuck at the htc logo.
I tried doing RUU also, but I have a Bell Sensation, which is 3.32.666.13, and there isn't an ruu file available for that.
Any other ideas?

I think any z710a ruu should work
Sent from my Sense 5 powered Sensation
Ok, I tried wiping data and enabling smartflash, then reflashing the rom, but now when i try to boot it up, it won't go past the white screen with the htc logo, no quietly brilliant coming up.
Anyone else have an idea of what I can try? I'm getting desperate now, nothing seems to be working.

Can you link me to one? I can't tell which ones are z710a and which ones aren't.
If you can find one on here that might work for me: http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/index...oads&Itemid=98
or here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid
or anywhere else you might be able to find one.
Again I have a bell sensation 3.32.666.13. I was able to find a zip file here: http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pyramid (3rd one down)
but its a zip file, not exe, so not really sure what thats for. Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks, but I think that is the older version(from gingerbread I think) and after I searched around I think that one will not work. I may be wrong, so you are certainly welcome to take a closer look whenever you have tim after getting home.
Thanks so much for taking the time to help me! At this moment, my phone will not boot up past the white screen with the htc logo(no quietly brilliant coming up) and I am getting very desperate. I wiped everything that I possibly could in recovery, reflashed the rom after enabling smartflash, and my result is being stuck on the same htc screen. Am I bricked beyond repair? I am seriously getting very scared now. Anyways thanks for helping, any other ideas are welcome.

your version show with zip file in here http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pyramid is a update OTA version..not full completed RUU..
anyway may i know what custom rom do you installed before..?, did you already tried another custom rom..?
RUU
noodleyhead said:
I've tried that as well, but get no results. I also tried relocking bootloader and unlocking again, but i still end up and the lockscreen and go through setup wizard, only to end up stuck at the htc logo.
I tried doing RUU also, but I have a Bell Sensation, which is 3.32.666.13, and there isn't an ruu file available for that.
Any other ideas?

I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
and went up to step 4A, and used the same rom linked to dropbox download in that step.
Problem was, I forget to enable smart flash before flashing(step 3A), so I followed extra step 1 in that same thread, which is flashing boot.img, but that didn't work either.

Why was separated into 2 parts?
Before it was very comfortable just put in sd and run the ruu

Because it is too large to either send via fasboot and/or for your phone to parse in ruu mode. Unless you like the looks of the below screen shot.

First, I'd like to say that I love this website... You guys do a real good job on explaining how to do certain things on our phone... My question is, if I perform perform option 1 on my phone, will my phone be relocked when its done? What about s-off? And since it will have the stock recovery and its a pre rooted rom, I just have to flash a custom recovey, am I right? Thanks in advance...
What about option 2? Results of s-off? Unlocked or relocked bootloader? And if either method preserves my apps and all my settings.... Thanks in advance again...

Both options do the same.
Wiped data and internal storage. This will not touch external SD though.
Stock rooted rom and firmware is what you get.

Go back to factory
How do you return to complete factory stock? I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader. I was running ViperOne, but I ran the RUU from the SD Card and and now on stock, but still rooted and unlocked. I am trying to do a warranty replacement. I found instructions to re-lock, but how do I unroot and remove SuperSU?
Are there any additional steps I should take?
Thanks!

Lock boot loader. Reboot and verify all is well. Follow steps here to flash this ruu exe

Official RUU 3.28.605.4 EXE/ZIP
Then once you verify no root and verified lock you turn s on.
I am using Viper One Custom Rom ( that's the version with android 4.4.2)
To update my device I will have to flash this ruu and then any Custom Rom on 4.4.4? Correct? Please inform me if I am missing something. Thanks.

Firmware Update
I tried to update my firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 using the Option 2 (App/EXE) method and the phone had a black screen with HTC in white to black fading colors. The pc said updating and sending. I waited for almost an hour and nothing showed to be happening. I disconnected the phone from the pc and aborted the operation. So I then tried to do Option 1. I put the zip file on my external SD card. I tried to flash it with Flashify but it didn't work. I then went in to TWRP to install it and now I'm stuck on the white screen with the green htc lettering. Phone doesn't do any thing when pressing volume down and power or volume and up and power. Is my phone now a paperweight? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

An ruu is not flashable via flashify or twrp. No where in the instructions does it say that. In fact, you really shouldn't be attempting flashes like that with partition based zips period. You could brick your phone.
Try the exe again. It likely never sent because your pc didn't install the correct driver for the phone when you entered fastboot.

As I mentioned, my phone is stuck on the white screen with the green htc lettering. I was able to finally power it down. Upon powering it on it goes back to the white screen with green htc lettering. If I enter recovery, it goes in to TWRP but I cannot do anything there. I tried to run the EXE option again but now my pc won't even recognize the phone. The phone is still stuck on the white screen with the green htc.

Basic question
I'm sure it's obvious, but I just want to confirm that I won't lose S-Off by using this?
You will not lose s off. That will remain in tact unles you s on yourself via adb
Hello guyz, i have problem on my htc one x plus.
I installed cm11 nightly for my on my x plus from here:
http://get.cm/get/qG0
After that my imei has gone blank along with the baseband version.
I did a bit of research and found that by using ruu, u can get the imei back.
So for that i needed turn my s-on to s-off by the foll commands:
adb reboot
if i am not mistaken, while the phone is rebooting i am supposed to put the 2nd command:
adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp
The problem here that I think is the phone reboots so fast that i guess the command fails to execute and i get an error saying :
error protocol fault (no status)
So, how to turn off fastboot or quickboot in cm11? There is absolutely no option in the phone. I tried battery settings,power settings, everything!
is there a way to disable fastboot/quickboot in bootloader mode?
plz help!

I don't think you need to be S-on to run a RUU. At least back in my HTC evo 4g LTE days, you didn't. Try running the RUU as S-off.

I'm not sure, or willing to say, yes to that. I don't suppose you made a backup of stock before flashing custom, did you? This is why you always make a backup of stock.
