RUU doesn't regain s-on and it doesn't relock bootloader. To relock bootloader you should be running a command in fastboot that's similar to
Code:
fastboot oem relock

To ruu you need to relock bootloader only if you are s-on, if you're s-off you don't need to worry about that.
Ruu also might not set it to official, because you would have a modified boot.img, though correct me if I'm wrong.

My Desire S was unlocked but still S-ON.
I want to change back to stock ROM and stock recovery.
I've try
- RUU_Saga_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.1_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199476_signed

but it doesn't work.
What method should I use to restore my phone without rooting (hboot 2.00.002).
Thank you.
P.S. Sorry for poor English.
You need to relock your bootloader before installing RUU.
Code:
fastboot oem lock

It's working but still got an error [140] bootloader version error (different from the first error before relocked).
I bought in Thailand so I think I should use this one
RUU_Saga_HTC_Thailand_1.35.1113.2_Radio_20.28d.30.0805U_3805.04.02.01_M_release_183327_signed
It has only one version of Thailand's RUU.
What should I do now?

So, I have done a lot of research and I am hung up on one bit.
I have the stock RUU file on my PC.
I also have superCID . I am rooted with S-OFF
Think i used Revolutionary etc. Currently using ARHD 6.8.0
I want to return to Full Stock with S-ON. I looked at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
But it doesn't say if I need to change my CID back to VODAP001 before or after (Or at all) I flash the Stock RUU. <hope that makes sense?
Could anyone help me?
I basically have the RUU. and need to know about the CID. Does it need to be changed?
Thanks
Just seen this actually
I can confirm SuperCID is successful as i just flashed a Tmous Rom (1.25.***) to my EU unbranded device to check. (added t-mobile tv and other carrier stuff to my apps list)
Does ^ this mean I can run the RUU with my SUPER CID?
Then just S-On once done??
thanks again.

Hi,
If you are returning your phone for warranty purposes,you need to return your SuperCID to normal.
This should be done after running your RUU,but before going back to s-on.
Look HERE for more information.

Cool, well the RUU I have will need the VODAP001 *** (I think it's that, will check before I attempt lol)
So I flash the RUU then I can use this:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid ******* Replacing the *'s with the CID I need.
Once done, can then return to S-ON

also about S-ON read carefully what it is saying about bootloader
your bootloader must be LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED otherwise don't do S-ON

Was just about to post. Successfully flashed the RUU and changed CID to VODAP001, phone boots and works fine!!!
But in bootloader it doesn't mention, locked, unlocked or relocked.
Previously to the Update, it said ***LOCKED***
Now I got just this:
Pyramid PVT Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.0006
RADIO-10.11.9007.09_M2
eMMC-boot
What do I need to do to S-ON???
Thanks

if your bootloader says locked now(as you are mentioning) then you can continue with S-ON
edit:what to do for S-ON?
from the same guide it has a tutorial for it
but i think it is a simple command and then you are done

Sorry, I actually mean, before I restored the RUU it said locked. Now it doesnt mention anything.
It no longer says that, or unlocked / relocked.
So I haven't proceeded with the S-ON command.

Hi,
No.
If you ran a RUU,then,everything would have returned to stock.
S-off is not affected.
So,to get back up and running,you will need to do all these things again.
can i flash RUU 2.20 if my bootloader is relocked and S-on and tampered ?

If you change your CID back to CWS_001, theoretically, you should not brick running the 2.20 RUU, I'm not sure what will happen if you were to upgrade to 3.18 at any point. Probably brick in that case.
Safest way to RUU is to S-OFF first.

There is no way to S-OFF without a ROM.
So your choices are
Unlock, flash recovery, flash rom, fastboot flash boot.img, S-OFF, RUU.
Or
Fastboot writecid CWS__001, RUU 2.20, Never upgrade for fear of bricking.

Do whichever one you want. Just remember without S-OFF, I'm pretty sure you will not be able to upgrade to 3.18+ without bricking.
fixed it bt flashing a stock boot.img

2.20 RUU will run with SuperCID, bootloader locked and S-on. With the 3.18 RUU, you will brick under those conditions.

I have European version 1.56 , how can I install this?
Sent from my HTC One A9 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you want to install this update you need to S-OFF your phone and change CID and MID using fastboot command from download mode:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
fastboot oem writemid 2PQ912000
Then you will be able to flash US firmware.
Anybody have a valid TRWP system image for 1.57.617.32?
I took one but it still failed the verity check.

Oh well, I flashed the .32 RUU and restored data from TWRP/FlashFire, flash this update, and I think I'm done.

Did you use FlashFire to only restore data? Just curious.

This OTA will not flash if you're superCID. You must use the US unlocked or developer CID specifically to flash this OTA (BS_001 or BS_002).
The RUU will flash if you are superCID, but 1.57.617.41 RUU hasn't been officially (or unofficially that I'm aware of) released yet.

I used FlashFire generated backup in TWRP to restore data.
Of course internal-storage was still wiped, but I manually back that up these days (with SyncMe app), and don't put anything there, if possible.

Will it really work? My phone will work properly? How to get S-OFF? Will S-On be back after I flash? Do I need to root?
It worked for me.
To get S-Off I used SunShine S-Off. You can disabled S-Off by running command `fastboot oem writesecureflag 3`. You need root to run SunShine.
After getting S-Off be careful not to mess HBOOT otherwise your phone will be hard-bricked and non-recovereable at home (you would need a programmer (device)).

Yes, you should. You will need to relock the bootloader and s-on to make OTA work as far as I remember.

bro OTA no need S-ON just relock bootloader
Hi,
My HTC U12+ just have a broken screen. I wanted to revert to original by flashing the RUU zip file. May I know if it is necessary to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU?
Thanks in advance.
No, it's not necessary

Thanks for replying.
Some people said it is required to ***RELOCKED** the bootloader first and some said no need. So I relock it by FASTBOOT OEM LOCK just for safe.
And I also followed the guide for U11 and it worked.
