How to restore stock ATT?

Hi All,
I need to restore my unlocked/rooted HOX back to ATT stock. Looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1814217
I am unclear if I need to lock/unroot before installing the stock ROM or I just install over what I have. Can somebody confirm how I can restore to 100% stock?
Thanks!

How are you installing the stock ROM? I have a RUU that HTC sent me that does all the installation and other stuff with one click, but I had to relock my bootloader before it would work properly.

"fastboot oem lock" in bootloader then run the ruu. to unlock/root again just flash your unlock token in fastboot again using "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin", flash twrp, then flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip in recovery.
super easy and super quick

Thanks for the help. I will re-lock the boot loader and simply install the stock RUU.

From the looks of it, seems like Those are ICS RUUs so that won't work. (Downgrade isn't possible without S-OFF which seriously I won't recommend)
Either:
- Find a JellyBean RUU.
OR
- Find a JellyBean OTA. (Though for OTA you will have to be on Stock ROM and Stock Recovery)

I tried to manually install the second RUU but it said HBOOT fails so when I researched it appeared that mine is HBOOT-2.15.0000 and the RUU is older version,
what do you mean find a JellyBean RUU ? another Rogers RUU ?

I meant to say that these RUUs hold ICS stuff in it. Which is why it won't work since your phone is on JellyBean.

Okay, I couldn't find a JB RUU for Rogers. But I found an OTA.
You can find all the RUUs/OTAs Here.
OTA specific to your phone is in above link or Here Directly.
When you download it, be sure to match the MD5 checksums of the downloaded file to that of the file on server. MD5 hashes are given on the website. Long bizarre number.
For the OTA to work, you need to have:
- Stock ROM
- Stock Recovery
For further material on how to flash an OTA (Since it won't work normally by flashing it over anything via custom recovery), follow This Guide.
Though it is for VilleC2 or the S3 variant, the rule is the same for S4.
I know it's a bit unusual process, but it's the only way to avoid doing the S-OFF which poses numerous problems afterwards.

since I dont have the stock ROM , is it possible to fix this?
I heard OTA is different from RUU, will that cause more problems ?

Doesn't cause problems but won't let you update if anything other than stock. That's how it is different.
You can avoid using Stock Recovery, by editing updater script. That is explained in the afore mentioned thread.
And to get stock ROM you an use a nandroid backup of stock ROM and then flash this OTA.

Hey
Did you ever manage to get your phone back to the stock ROM? I am stuck exactly at the same place as you. All numbers about my phone are the same too.
I cannot find any suitable RUU or nandroid online. Could you please point me to one?

[Q] Question about HBOOT update with CyanogenMod installed

Recently I had to have my phone JTAGed, because I wanted to update the bootloader. I failed to read about S-ON/S-OFF, and ended up with a brick. When I sent my phone in, I requested that they do the update and install CyanogenMod for me, so that I wouldn't end up with a paperweight again, because obviously I am too impatient.
So after I got my phone back, I noticed that the installed version was a nightly build. No biggie. I went about with this for a little while, until the other day I noticed that a few of my apps were crashing, and I got the idea to update the phone.
Well, already long story short, when I tried to run the update I got the assert failed getprop( ro.bootloader ) error. Someone else said this is because HBOOT isn't the correct version, and lo, it was not.
Ok, now we're to the issue. When the people who JTAGed my phone sent it back, they relocked the bootloader. Can I unlock the bootloader through traditional means, and then attempt the HBOOT update with the RUU? I also asked them to make the phone S-OFF, so hopefully when I unlock the bootloader it will show me that information.
I'm just trying to be sure that I don't brick my phone again. I wouldn't even be bothering with all of this if the OS was on a stable version, but it isn't.
Any help?

You haven't provided your bootloader details. Post them please.

That's what it says in the bootloader window. Is any more information required?

Just go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader. Then run the 3.18 RUU, that will upgrade your firmware as required by CM. Then just flash TWRP recovery and you're good to go.

Just finished running the 3.18 RUU and I now have the stock ROM running with the updated HBOOT. I also just finished installing the latest TWRP and am downloading the CM ROM now. Thank you so much for your help!

[SOLVED] MaximusHD 10.0.0 back to Stock

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?

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
3) I have my old phone back with stock rom.

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.

What recovery do you have? Did you try to reflash the rom that you have, or to flash another rom, and did you have installed HTC driver( if you use windows 8 or 8.1 you may like others some connectivity issue)
Btw i don't think that you can change anything with just formathing sd card
