I need to unroot my HTC Eris. My hboot is S-ON. Do i need to convert my phone to the S-OFF bootloader in order to run the RUU to unroot.

No if you have S-On it will run. s off will actually not let it run most of the time

I recently Upgraded got the HTC Evo 3D so i decided i was going to root the Phone. I notice going to Revolutionary the Hboot I have its not selected I have 1.50 I think I have updated software like a dummy through sprint OTA I seen their was and RUU file to downgrade back to 1.40 is it safe to do so.
Go here: LINK
Downgrade your HBoot and get back to 1.40.
Why don't you just root without downgrading?

After a while of having to use the flash image gui app, it gets pretty annoying not being able to use Nandroid backups. That is why i am trying to downgrade myself.
Makes sense. Then check out the link vdubtx posted.
I would like to have S-Off instead of s-On

You can root, but you also forfeit your warranty to HTC by doing HTC Unlock, that code that you use to unlock it, gives them your device info, including serial number and when you bring it to sprint for repair, they can just look it up and see that you've rooted and voided your warranty.
Any files will work what is the latest 1

Hello all.
I was wondering if one had s-off on the phone and would you be able to flash the ruu without loosing s-off again or having to relock?

nope, once you have s-off, flashing the ruu will not return you to s-on. that may change in a future ota, but as of right now it wont do anything
anyone have accomplish this? I've been trying for last few days. I run the gb ruu the latest Ota twice (yesterday I ran it 4 times) and then the s-on command trough fastboot/adb and I'm left whit stock gb, s-on and RE-LOCKED HBOOT.
Is there anyway to get it to LOCKED?
Thanks in Advance
Edit: I've been running the 2.01.605.11 Ota gb ruu.
You need to S-OFF first and then relock it. Running RUU will give you RELOCKED or TAMPERED.

While s-off run the fastboot commands to relock the HBOOT? Can you tell me those commands? Thanks.
Did you unlock while s-off? If you did, you need to s-off again. After s-off you will have a locked bootloader again. Than ruu to gb ota, and send the s-on commands through fastboot.
That will leave you with stock gb, s-on and lock bootloader.
Do not send the s-on command unless your are 100% sure you have an ota stock hboot. Or you will have a brick
I am pretty sure that there is no way to get it to say locked. It will just say relocked. Someone was working on a way to change that but I think they decided not to continue because they didn't want to be accused of encouraging fraud.

No no, just do the S-OFF. If you attempt to lock after S-OFF, it will say RELOCKED.
The S-OFF process is the only way to get back to LOCKED. If you unlock or run the fastboot command to lock again after that, it will show RELOCKED.

I meant turning security flag on.
Alright thanks guys gonna try again tonight after work. I'll report back later.
You can definitely return to **Locked** without question if you have s-off. Just run the newest leak RUU twice and it should take it back to locked but S-OFF, did it to my girl's unlocked+s-off rezound two nights ago. I didn't even have to manually run it twice, it just keep rebooting and did the 2nd run on it's own. It's now the stock hboot, locked, s-off. Then if you want GB there shouldn't be any issue flashing the GB RUU since you'd maintain S-OFF

Ok gonna give a shot to that. Thanks.
Is it possible with hboot 1.19 s-on running MeanBean? If so what method? I tried dirty racun and it failed on the on the step fastboot oem rebootRUU and black screen with HTC. Then wouldn't flash RUU. t/u
Ruu when in bootloader. Then unlock and then run racun.

Last weekend I relocked my phone then ran the RUU and took the OTA then unlocked and rooted again. I couldn't get Racun to work for me either.

I will most likely try the unroot method since I have tried the racun and was stuck with a phone not working for a while.
What RUU

The RUU to use depends on your hboot, for example, if youre on hboot 1.15 use RUU 1.22.651.3 - HBOOT 1.15
for hboot 1.19 use RUU 2.13.651.1 - HBOOT 1.19
The best guide to follow is the unlimited guide from their site, they will acutally support your efforts live! I used this method and I was able to gain s-off, unlock my bootloader and root; here's the link (it contains eveything you need including the RUU):

That is the one I was using and failed on step 8 second command went to black screen with HTC in center and nothing after that. Then failed to load the RUU. I am on HBOOT 1.19. I will look at it again tonight and might give it a try again.
I may have to send my phone to HTC for repairs and am currently unrooted via the 3.15.651.16 RUU but I have S-OFF with hboot 2.09. I am wondering how I can revert it to S-ON, I googled this and didn't find anything directly obvious on how to achieve this.
How did you get soff? Lazy panda or dirty racun?

why not just flash a recovery then use the bootloader custimizer to make your phone look stock. if your still s-off u can use that tool
