To unroot your One S you need relock your device and than flash a stock RUU that is constistent with your CID.
That is assuming you've not yet installed a custom rom. If you have, I believe you need to run a stock recovery first.

No, the RUU installs the stock recovery automatically.
Just search for a tutorial that explains how you install RUU.
There should be a lot around here.
I'm on the road at the moment so I can't search for you.
Maybe later.
Please tell us where you live and if you have a S3 or a S4 version

I can't get you s-off but I can help you with root issues.
Do a twrp backup first especially the kernel.
Now flash my boot.img . The system write protection is off in this boot.img so root will work perfectly.
But still firewater does not work on my boot.img so no s-off.

Thanks, Now I need to do S-Off, will it (firewater etc) work if I flash any other kernel?
What do you need S-Off for? After installing the kernel you can write to /system.

I'm looking to get write protection off so this looks perfect for me! Is it limited to a specific variant of E8 though? I've got a China Unicom HTC One E8 dual sim (M8sw). You reckon the kernel will work with mine?

it seems S-off is achievable with the use of sunshine only. I did it on my M8sw to go from Chinese to Indian rom.
Sunshine costs 25US$. And license is only for one device to toggle s-off and s-on.
there is no other way to the best of my knowledge as HTC patched against firewater.

The kernel is compatible with mec_dwgl variant of E8.
U can check it in the fastboot mode where it shows s-off or s-on
I think China Unicom M8Sw devices are mec_dugl so may not work.

Did you end up getting your phone get sorted out? I had to flash busybox instead of using one of those installer apps (although Busybox on Rails was useful for checking if I had flashed an appropriate one). Only the first one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929852 worked for me though.

Thanks mate, you saved me a lot of grief from installing an incompatible one! I must be doing something wrong on my end though since flashing the boot.img from that other thread still didn't remove the write protection, but at least it did no harm at all since it was compatible as you rightly pointed out. Will keep looking.

So, after I flashed this kernel, can I change my firmware?

No, you can't. It only remove system protection. Only signed firmware can flashed with S-On. Sunshine can s-off your device. But it costs 25$ or wait for signed RUU to roll out of lollipop, if you want to use Bindroided Lollipop with sense 7 Rom. If you want to use sunshine, flash the stock downgraded Rom. Sunshine can't work with custom kernel. and If you want to change directly through root explorer, I don't know what will happen. Edit it through ES File explorer mounting RW but I can't guarantee that it will work or not brick your device.
My opinion: Go through Sunshine. It will lighten your path.
Hi,
I have a friend that has a Moto G 2nd gen and she forgot her pin number.
She want to retrieve some data that are stored in the phone. I told her to install TWRP so then she could use TWRP file manager to erase the protection files and then access the phone to retrieve the info.
Her phone has no root or anything.
Is it possible to install TWRP to do that or is there another way ?
Thanks in adv
Anyone can help me ? Plz

She needs to unlock the bootloader before flashing the TWRP. But after she unlocks the bootloader, the /data partition will be automatically wiped. So i guess, that it will be better if she tries to think about the pin for some time (maybe she will remember) before unlocking BL and flashing TWRP

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around for about two months, from when I picked up this phone. It's still completely stock. Unrooted, S-ON, all that. Well, after the update to Nougat, I've been searching for a way to unlock the bootloader & root. Is it safe for me to use WinDroid Toolkit for the process? Just need a guide for the process, for the most part. I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer.

Go to http://htcdev.com and make an account, then follow the steps and unlock your bootloader from there. After that you fastboot flash TWRP using ADB, and then use TWRP to flash a root solution. I prefer Magisk.
Alright, just unlocked the bootloader, going through the process of setting up my phone once again. Do you have a link to the Magisk & TWRP programs that I can use? Also, should I put the TWRP file in the same folder as the fastboot files?
I greatly appreciate the assistance you've given me so far, I'm deeply grateful man.
Okay, so I flashed twrp, then the seSuperuser zip that was linked to in CaptainThrowback's thread. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop, it won't go past the HTC logo with the red warning letters. What do I do now?

try this step by step.. :good:
1.Flash TWRP 3.0.3-8 via Fastboot.. Do not reboot into system, enter into recovery..
2.Do a factory Reset via TWRP.. Do not reboot into system
3.Now flash SuperSU 2.79 SR3.. Reboot into system..
couple of bootloops are common, do not give up for at least 3 bootloops..
It will take a long time to boot as you have done a factory reset..
So be patient and wait for at least half hour..

Sorry about this - I updated the TWRP thread with the current/preferred root method: MagiskSU.
You need to flash a stock boot.img and then flash the Magisk zip from the linked thread.

Aw crap, I wish I would have seen this yesterday. I tried to format data & flash one of the stock rooted roms for marshmallow roms for my sprint one a9... now it just hangs at the HTC One logo. I'm gonna assume that I'm screwed until a stock rooted Nougat rom is released for sprint.

You don't flash firmware with TWRP. But you can use the SD card method to flash the RUU, which doesn't require a computer.

Hello Guys,
I Have an HTC one a9 with 7.0, s-off, bootloader locked
I have some concerns before I root my phone
If I unlock the bootloader and root the phone, Will I have the option of phone encryption as it used to be ?
If I unlock the bootloader with HTCDev and flash the TWRP with SuperSu and boot file, it is a MUST to do a data factory reset? or I`m able to do all the process without loosing my data?
Thank you in advance

Unlocking your bootloader will wipe the device.
Hi all, I've been lurking and reading for 2 months, preparing to root my device. So this title fits my mood.
One A9, "factory unlocked version", S-on, running 1.57.617.60
Just did the actual unlock from htcdev so now data is erased. I'm re-reading the threads I saved to prepare, now that it's time to actually finalize what ROM I want to run, but now have a few questions before completing the plunge.
In past threads I read the newer MM and N security prevented rooting, and reverting to Lollipop was necessary. From what I read here that is no longer the case?
If I want to debloat the system I am already running, can I do that without finding a custom ROM to run?
Thank you

Yes, you can root and debloat Nougat. Though you should make a stock system image backup first of you ever want to receive an OTA again. The TWRP thread FAQ has a lot of information about this.
I want to root the Honor 8 for some apps such adaway etc.
For this, i need to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and then supersu2.X.zip. Thats clear and i understand.
But after rooting the phone, can we relock the phone to get rid of the warning message while booting up?
Anyone knows? Is there anyway?

i think i couldnt explain what i wanted to say.
I am now on EMUI 4.1 , model: frd-l19 and i want to ROOT it. For doing this, i need to unlock to bootloader and flash TWRP etc.
My question is, after ROOTING the phone, i want ROOT to stay in the phone but relock the bootloader via adb commands or another way, so i wont be seeing that first message in the boot. So basicly i want a rooted phone with locked bootloader. Is this possible? If i flash the whole firmare after root, wont the root be gone?
