I am selling my Rezound today and i need to return it to its stock form. I am S-Off with ICS firmware and a different hboot. Cant remember which one. What are the steps i need to take? Do i just run the 2.01.605.11 ruu. Then put back to s-on and then relock bootloader?

I believe that should cover it, but depending on who you sell it to they're probably not going to notice s off

You didn't unlock through htcdev after you did s-off did you? If you didn't then theres no need to relock it will show locked.

No I didn't unlock. That's right. So will the next owner be able to receive ota's if I keep it s-off?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Yeah as long as it has the stock recovery there shouldn't be a problem receiving ota's while s-off.

Now what ota can I flash? Should I do the last latest gb one or the latest official ics one?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I would say go a head and flash the official ICS since it already started rolling out anyway.

So I had recently rooted and unlocked the boot loader of my rezound. I am running
ICS on it and I am very satisfied. I have a few questions though:
What does s-off really mean?
Is there anyway I can run the phone with a SIM not from Verizon?
Thanks
Mike

S-off just allows us to flash radios pretty much. It is not needed for flashing roms.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
The S in S-off/on just stands for signature. You are turning off signature checking(hence the term s-off) and allowing it to bypass that "feature". HTC did it to assist in making the device "unbrickable". If you keep s-on you can only flash certain things, and other parts need to be flashed via PH98IMG's.
With an s-off device, you are pretty much free to the world. If you have an engineering hboot flashed, you can keep your hboot in a locked status and still flash anything at anytime,but be aware if you attempt to s-on with an engineering hboot, you will brick.
S-off isn't really necessary right now since most of us have latest radios since ics ota hasn't dropped yet. Just wait awhile for s-off as it is still not perfectly safe yet IMO. I will wait awhile. I don't need leaked firmware and radios
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
S-off will allow you to do rom installs in one flash without the need to do the PH98IMG.zip through the bootloader and it will also allow full restores from nandroid backups without the need to flash the kernel separately...
As s-off devices get more widespread, I expect the rom developers to switch to this method and stop packaging the kernel separately.
All great responses. thank you for the quick replies. As I look more into these things, I do have to ask.
What are you guys running on your rezounds?
S-off/on? Also are you rooted with a rom?

I just have an unlocked bootloader with s-on. I'm waiting for more s-off users and for it to be proven failsafe or close to it

I lost my root on the last OTA and since there are still no new method to re root on this new version might as well wait till the JB update. I think by Mid August / Sept we can see the new OTA to JB

There is a thread that I used after the OTA by xHausx that brought back r00t for me flawlessly, and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader?
FYI.

I almost tried this until I read the following ~ I wanted the fixes in the latest OTA:
"Successful in rooting all builds up to 1.13.651.1."
It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted

Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...

Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.
I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.
Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.

If a evo 4g lte is rooted but S-on can it accept ota while in this state? Thanks.

You have to relock your bootloader to be able to take the OTA I'm pretty sure

So that requires running ruu? Correct?

I think you just need to type "fastboot oem lock" without the quotes in a cmd window.
An RUU will take you back to complete stock.
I have never done it so not 100%
Question why have you not tried to go S-OFF? It would save you so many headaches.
I'm pretty sure you need the stock recovery to accept an OTA so RUU is probably the way to go
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I can confirm. RUU failed until I had the stock recovery and locked bootloader

Thanks fellas
adb tools w/stock recovery incase anyone needs it
I'm S-On, Unlocked, rooted, hboot 1.15 and have TWRP (don't recall which custom ROM I installed months ago but it is stock based). When I checked for the JB update I was notified it was there and was able to download it but I haven't tried installing yet. Will I be able to install it or will I need to re-lock, un-root or otherwise modify my phone before I can install stock JB?
Some people are having trouble recovering root after 2.03, might be better to wait a bit longer
I am on mean bean was rooted and unlocked bootloader. Locked boot loader to ruu so i could just ota and get new radios and update but now im stuck on mean bean and cant get to the custom or stock recovery(i flashes each and tried) Help!

I don't recommend that. You should S-OFF before upgrading (unless you're extremely satisfied with being S-ON). Just run the RUU with the deivce in HBOOT (to escape your current predicament).
I have hboot 1.19 is that avle to be s-off i havent looked in a bit. And im on radio 1.12 when i try to run ruu since in running 3.15 jb build it wont let me ruu
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
none
You use rusty racun to get s-off, google it and you'll find it, but first run the PJ75IMG to get back to stock, then unlock the bootloader again and run rusty racun
