Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5

Hi there,
I currently have my phone rooted and running Clockwork mod. It is S-on as I rooted this mid-late last year.
I want to install CM7 (stable) and so I'm thinking maybe I should start fresh, get S-off and then install CM7.
How do I do this? Do I have to un-root and install a stock rom, and then root with Revolutionary?
EDIT: I have an old version of H-Boot too so I need to update that
Thanks

Yes before you can run Revolutionary you need to install the AT&T official 2.2.2 update to update the HBOOT if you have an AT&T branded Aria. If you have an unbranded Gratia, then there is a thread that documents how to upgrade the HBOOT so that you can then you can run Revolutionary.
Edit: Just noticed that you are in Austrailia. I don't know if the Gratia upgrade instructions will work or not.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133446
You can try it or the next suggestion would be to visit the LiberatedAria IRC (link is at the bottom of attn1's signature in the Gratia upgrade post) and maybe they can assist you:
Do NOT run the Gratia tool on the phone. Since you don't have a Sense 2.2 boot partition, it will soft brick the device if you use it.
Instead I'd suggest using the AT&T RUU on your phone. However you can't just run the RUU application like you can with an American Aria. Follow the directions in this post instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14953134&postcount=28. There was another user (the person who I was responding to in that thead) who was able to use this method successfully with his Australian Aria (although it was on another carrier I believe).
Thanks guys, I'm in New Zealand not Australia btw.
I used the AT&T ROM and did all the steps and am now running a nand unlocked CM7 phone
This should help, I followed it and successfully rooted my phone & installed CM7 http:// wiki. cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Aria:_Full_Update_Guide
Got an o2 branded HTC Flyer. Don´t want to root it or install custom images but only would like to install an unbranded image on it. Read that there could be a risk to brick the device by OTA due to a special provider CID. Right or not?
I would contact GlobalTron on this forum. I think he has the most expertise in stock ROM installation.
Easiest way, run revolutionary to S-OFF and flash an unbranded ROM excluding the hboot image.
Second way is to use a goldcard and flash a custom image...of course I recommend the former.
After s-off I can get OTA updates for the official ROM without any problems? You wrote that hboot will remain the same.
Howdy guys.. I'm new to the scene an this is my first android phone.. but I always have to hack/tinker with my devices.. so here I am.
I'm a little weary about upgrading to ICS because from my understanding the ICS update also updates HBOOT and prevents S-OFF from being obtained? Is this true or is my understanding wrong?
I unlocked my bootloader, installed NRG's Gingerbread ROM (love it!) and CWM.. I have held off upgrading to ICS because I'm afraid if I upgrade to ICS BEFORE I obtain S-OFF, that I will ruin my chances of getting S-OFF in the future if I so desire.. is this true?
Or is it possible to still obtain S-OFF even after flashing the official ICS RUU?

It IS possible to obtain s-off on the ICS RUU, it has been confirmed by globatron himself, who developed the method. I believe you just need to use v0.4 or later of controlbear.
I upgraded to ICS stock with s-on. I can confirm that the s-off method works because I just did it several days ago.
Hello there.
I could use some help with going back to stock rom for GSM version of 3D.
I now have Hboot 1.53.0007, CWM Recovery Installed, it's rooted, and now stuck on Viper rom 1.0 version. And, it now has CID 001, because I wanted to put some custom, but I was afraid of getting bricked.
My friend wants to have all the 3D functions, and I would like to revert back to stock.
So, if I download the original Shooter_U Europe version rom, ICS, can I just do these steps of reverting back? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262457
And do I need to relock the bootloader to do this?
I don't need warranty or things like that.
Waiting for some advice, thank you.
Relock bootloader and run RUU exe from pc. way easier than this

If it is only for 3D functions , u don`t need to use the ( bad ) stock rom cause it is poor in performance , u can use the custom roms in the forum with no bugs , like CoolICS and mwakious
hello guys i have a question i bought an HTC One M7 from At&T (i bought it on internet) im currently using another carrier because is factory unlocked, but when they gave it to me the phone was runing a custom rom (insterkoin 4.4.2) i really dont like the roms i preffer the stock ones with no root and everything as it is, so i found out that the Phone has the bootloader unlocked, rooted, but is still S-ON and it has H.Boot 1.55 so i dont know how do they installed a custom ROM, pretty much my question is, how do i restore my phone to Fully stock, and i understand that i need to gain s-off in order to get back to stock, so how can i do it ? if you guys please can help me i will appreciate it thank you in advanced!
eMMC Chip
Type: HBG4e
Cid: 90014a48424734650... (this is how my CID starts)
You don't need s-off to install a custom rom in many cases. It just has to be unlocked via HTC dev. Look around and you should find the post with instructions for returning to stock 4.3.
