http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053&highlight=return+to+stock
Everything updates but system. System comes up fail in red. Everything goes through and updates after that and it says image not installed press power to reboot. I reboot and now I'm stuck on HTC screen. What do I have to flash?
Alright scratch that. I reloaded TWRP through bootloader and flashed a stock rooted sprint rom. I have dust underneath my screen. A large amount at the top. I have to take it in to get a new one so whats the best way to unroot and return to stock?! I'm having trouble with all the moethods...

Actually, that's a lie, it does boot, kind of.
HTC Evo 3D GSM.
So I've been S-ON since unlocking my phone. I'm not exactly new to this but this has stumped me. It begun as a problem that affected Android 4.0.4 ROMs only, but it's just happened to my usual ROM, Predator Unity 3D.
I always flash the kernel using fastboot.
HBOOT 1.49.0018, using Revolutionary CWR 4.0.1.4
Basically, it starts to boot. HTC logo on a white screen, then it goes onto a backlighted blank screen, then turns off. Then it turns on again and repeats the process, automatically.
I've tried a lot of stuff, and while putting on PredatorUnity3D again to install a new recovery via an apk, it started doing this on this ROM too. I always wipe data, cache, dalvik cache before installing a new ROM.
So I'd appreciate the help.
I know that it has worked in the past being S-on, but I highly recommend getting s-off. Almost everybody who has had issues with bootlooping like yours (showing the HTC Logo and then rebooting) had the issue go away when the flashed the ROM while s-off.
Hello,
Right, I am aware that I've probably made a huge mistake, but I thought, "hey, warranty void because of my screen, why not?", but I have searched and searched and was up until three this morning trying to find a solution, but I only kept getting confused (bare in mind I'm only sixteen).
I rooted my phone using the HTCDev method, and flashed the LoLic Sense ROM, it worked and I turned my phone back on and it got stuck on the bootscreen. So, I downloaded the RUU and tried to go back to stock, and it kept failing. I even tried the PG86IMG.zip and even that didn't work. So, I downgraded to the LEEDroid ROM that came with the revolutionary package I'd used before the official update to ICS, and now I can't even get past the initial HTC screen.
Please can anybody help me get back to stock on my phone? I've managed it before, but this time I keep seeming to come up short.
Thank you
EDIT:
I'm on HBOOT 1.53.0007 - after updating to the official ICS.
I've tried downgrading using the Gingerbread RUU and it won't install on the phone. I can't S-OFF using the wire trick because I'm afraid to break it even more.
I've tried flashing the rooted GB zip in clockworkmod and it says its installed, but I can't turn the phone on and it only gets to the first white HTC screen and then turns itself off.
I'm terrified that I may have broken my only phone and I don't know what to do, please can somebody help me?
If you are S-ON HTC Dev unlocked you need 4ext with smartflash or fastboot flash boot boot.img to install the kernel.
Hey guys I've been trying to get my phone reset back to stock, I was coming from a rooted stock 3.15 and did what this thread said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706070 to get the RUU to run, after running it. My phone was restored to normal except my sdcard still had everything on it (I think this is expected) and the main issue is that SuperSU was still installed. While my phone was at this state my girlfriend changed the theme of the phone to something else, the only reason I'm saying this is because after running VipeRUU the theme was still the one that was set.
So after that I booted up my phone and ran VipeRUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197909 and still it worked but again SuperSU was still installed.
Going into my bootloader at this point reveals Tampered and Relocked and S-On, hitting recovery takes my phone to the htc boot logo then a black screen with a red exclaimation mark over a phone. Hopefully someone can help me getting my phone back to 100% stock.
I am currently trying the fix in the sticky with the 3.15 ruu.
After flashing the zip like it says to, the htc sign has a green bar under it that looks nearly full. I tried to run the RUU at this point and it went a fair amount through and stopped eventually due to a usb connection error (I think when the phone switched into fastboot). So I did the fix again and when it got to the green bar I rebooted the phone and am now running the RUU.

You will need to get s-off again and then use VipeRuu to remove s-off and the tampered message... I know it doesn't make sense but that's the only way to do it since there is no official ruu for 3.16...

I have an unlocked and s-off htc one m7. I have been trying to flash a few roms and it always goes to the white htc logo screen. One I tried is the android revolution and says installed successful but stuck at screen always. Am I missing a step? I wiped cache and delvik and did full wipe. Thanks for any help
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up? Because sometimes it can take a while.

I got me a sprint HTC one max and started following the steps to unlock it. I did the boot loader unlock first and it worked fine. It now shows it unlocked on the boot loader. Next I flashed the cwm. That seemed to work fine too. After that I flashed the insecure kernel. And after that I wasn't able to start up the phone anymore.
It would show funky colors and boot up to the HTC logo and restart.
I did everything again and now I can boot up to a rom but only to the lock screen. If I swipe to unlock it I end up on an HTC screen. Sense doesn't start up. What can I do now? Side load?
I can't get to finish the soft from rumrunner because after it boots up it only stays on for so long before the reboot.
I'm new to the HTC one but not to flashing.
Which ROM did you flash? do tell us what CID / Model your phone is

Use Firewater to S-Off. Rumrunner won't work on some versions of Android, especially 4.4.2.
I had the same exact problem you're having now, with the funky colors. You might be hard-bricked, just like I was. DO NOT FORMAT ANYTHING, or you'll lose your stock ROM, and there doesn't seem to be a stock ROM available, right now. If you already have, get ViperMAX 2.0.0 as your new OS. It's as close to stock as our models can get right now, and it ROCKS.
Check out the thread, I started, on this issue and subscribe to it. I have a feeling we'll get some great peeps to help us out!
Note the programs I'm using as well. Might help. I spent 20+ hours on this.
