Hi Try this thread.http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...e-your-htc-one-s-back-100-stock-relocked.html It should have many answers.
If you will have some questions, just ask. I did go back to stock myself about a week ago and it went just fine. Not many steps. I just deleted super user(SU), flashed the stock recovery(all in one toolkit) has that option and lastly, locked the bootloader. So so the thread above will direct you to RUU file, choose the one from your company. There is an example of T-Mobile USA version, but you will be able to get the one that you need.

thank you for the kind help appreciate it!
Hi everyone,
As precised in the title, I'm not pretty sure about the right method to adopt to revert back to stock (stock ROM, unroot, lock bootloader) in my situation.
I searched the forum, with several answers, but I'm not sure.
Can someone confirm me the right method please?
Thanks a lot
You cannot re lock your boot loader as it is forever unlocked.
You will have to find a unrooted stock ROM that will revert the OS back to normal without root.
But unfortunately you're forever unlocked

Hello!
I have N5 from the first batch. GPS is like ***, recently even worse, problems with microphone etc. I've decided to return the phone. However, my problem is that the phone was bought in USA while I stay in EU. So I have to prepare the phone perfectly before I send it to my friend who will deal with returning it to google.
List of sins: unlocked bootloader, CM a lot, now upgraded to Android 5.0 (using factory images from google). Till the update the device was not modified. However, I'm little bit scared, because bootloader seems to be unlocked.
Is my warranty void? Or can simply I return the phone with bootloader unlocked? If no, please help - is there a step-by-step guide on how to completly return to stock including locking bootloader? Returning to 4.4.4. is ok, I'm sending the phone back to USA anyway
I'll be extremly greateful for help.
Br,
Piecho
Just flash back to stock relock bootloader.
You need the nexus 5 toolkit .

Reflash stock rom then return it as it is. Google does not care about have the bootloader unlocked or not.
Don't use any toolkit learn the proper commands and do it manually. The Google factory images page gives you step by step instructions. Like said before, Google doesn't care about unlocked boot loader. The factory images page even tells you to unlock, flash, then relock lol
Hi guys,
I've just bought a Nexus 5 that got updated first to 4.4.3 and then 4.4.4 pretty much straight away.
But now I'm stuck, doesn't get Lollipop at all. I've tried the Google Services Trick, I've rebooted, I've tried without sim, I've tried another phone carrier (I'm in Australia and looks like my provider is still testing Lollipop and not sure WHEN it will release it at all).
Any other suggestions on what to try to get Lollipop? I'm an IT guy but I've never done the manual install or that kinda of stuff.. I had so far the Galaxy Nexus with 4.4.3.
If I install manually Lollipop and everything goes fine, what happens next? I mean, when a new version comes out, do I have to do it AGAIN manually? Losing all the data and stuff? Or ....?
Please advise
Nexus 5 4.4.4
Baseband version
8974A-2.0.50.1.16
Kernel version
3.4.0-gd59db4e
Build number
KTU84P
If you're 100% stock, download the OTA and manually flash it using the 'adb sideload' command - you won't lose anything
I bought it through ebay, how do I know if it's 100% stock?
More than losing data now (nothing on, it's brand new) what will happen when the next update will come out? I'll have to do it manually every time?
thanks for the help
If you are sstock there's not going to be any issues - and you'll continue to get the updates as they appear.
Look for the big OTA thread here on the forums.
Edit : You ain't going to lose data if you sideload the OTA - it keeps your storage intact. You only lose data when unlocking your bootloader for flashing factory images . Unlocked bootloader is not a requirement for sideloading OTAs
ok, understood. But to do the "sideloading OTA" the only requirments it to be 100% stock?
how do I find out if my phone is 100% stock?

reboot to bootloader ( volume down and power pressed ). On the bottom of the screen it will say if the bootloader is locked or not . If it's locked , there's a very good chance the phone is stock. If it isn't you OTA will fail but it should not affect anything.

Bootloader locked , and you have the stock kernel and rom. Sideload that OTA and you are ready to go !

Any other advise? I'll look for a guide or something to sideload the OTA and I'll cross my fingers

And another one for all the scepticals: You can allways lock your bootloader back, if you need a phone in factory state. So, flash people, flash.

Yes, it will work. Note that unlocking the bootloader and/or flashing the flash-all.sh will wipe your device so backup first off your device

but I won't have to unlock the bootloader, from what I understood, no?
Anyway, I got no data on it so for now it's not a problem. I'm more concerned for future manual updates, when I'll start having data on it

You will be master till new version released and there will be no problem for you. You will flash image without wipe or copy data to PC and make a full install or unlock bootloader and wait for OTA again. Even it is possible that you will be on some custom rom.
Just stop to be so scared about anything - the world of android is yours.

I'll do it over the weekend, I'll keep you posted.
Thanks guys
hi guys,
thanks to everyone for the help, I've sideload the OTA 5.0, so easy I couldn't believe it. Reboot the phone, command in terminal and that's it!
As soon as the phone started it found immediately the 5.0.1 update on its own, so I didn't have to do it manually.
AWESOME, I love Lollipop already!
you're welcome!
Hello all.
I attempted to flash a ROM a while back and failed miserably. All I managed to do in the end was unlock the bootloader. I would like to change this, and set things back to they way they were; locked bootloader.
Is there anyway to achieve this? I would like to be able to use apps like Uber that won't work with an unlocked bootloader.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hello I think this could help you
https://youtu.be/8OywEYZ2cbw
This is a video about how to rebrand your mate 9
Now it in the steps it says that after you use the options 2 to rebrand it relock your bootloader, I don't know what mate you have but since you probably installed a custom recovery it is why you can't relock with the command, so my suggestion is this download the WHOTA update and also install the the software finder via Google Play. With it look for your specific model and copy the links to download the files for your specific model in your PC, Also do a Backup of your Oeminfo via the TWRP since it will be the only file you won't find, probably (if it happens to be the MHA-L09 C605 send it to me I need it for my phone I made the mistake of not backing up my Oeminfo).
If you download the files and follow the instructions of the video you will be able to relock your bootloader. But watch it 3 times and also download all the files and make sure to back up everything in your PC if something goes wrong.

Thanks guys. I've found a fairly simple solution.
This is the solution that worked for me.
1. Type "fastboot oem relock (your phone's unlock code)" and select unlock or yes with volume buttons & power.
Hopefully this method will help others.
How we do now that there is no more huawei unlock website ? thank you
