Hey,
I have to revert to my original Firmware for waranty Purposes.
I unlocked my Phone via HTC Method. And i`ve done S-OFF with Juopnutbear (unlimited.io)
Now i have to revert. And i just wanted to verify the steps i have to do.
1. Flash RUU
I have this RUU File on My desktop
RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe
this should be right.
2.Type fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
3.fastboot reboot-bootloader
4.fastboot oem lock
Is this right?
I habe to be*LOCKED* not relocked. And S-On

You sir are almost right. There's no need to relock your bootloader if you already did the wire trick and gained s-off. It should say locked at the top of your bootloader. So you don't have to run any commands on fastboot. When you go to have your phone serviced the techs will check your bootloader to see if you unlocked your bootloader. That's the only way they will know if you flashed anything. As long as you have complete stock unrooted and "locked" bootloader they won't deny you service. Just flash the ruu and you'll be straight. It is not recommended to turn back on s-on in doing so, you run a high risk of bricking your phone. As long as you have stock and "locked" bootloader, s-off doesn't matter to them.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped you in anyway. It's free.

fastboot oem lock will most likely have your bootloader showing "relocked". As a matter of fact the only time I have had my bootloader say "Locked" since doing the HTCDev unlock was after doing the wire trick. So maybe do those steps then do the wire trick. Don't install the custom bootloader then go back in to fastboot and do the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3". Of course don't do the other steps if it says that it is s-on and LOCKED instead of relocked, and the previous post is entirely correct...if you aren't like me and did the HTCDev unlock after doing the wire trick (I had to unlock it for my own peace of mind, even after s-off).
I did the HTC Unlock before Wire Trick.
My Phone is now S-On and Locked
I had Juoponutbear bootloader.
I installed RUU and had original bootloader
Then the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
And i was S-ON too.
Perfect.
Thank you Guys

Hi,
My Evo 3d GSM device was S-OFF by the Revolutionary method.
All work fine.
But for garanty purpose, l've already restored boot_signed and system.img from stock rom.zip
Can i restore original recovery with:
fastoot flash recovery recovery_signed.img ?
And Restore stock hboot with:
fastoot flash hboot hboot_SHR_U_1.53.0007_20120522_signedbyaa.nb0 ?
Thank before,
If you really want to go back to stock, run the ruu for your region/carrier. It will leave you s-off, but everything else stock. You could go 100 percent stock by going back to s-on first. EDIT: After! See ramjet's post below.

Running the RUU should restore the default recovery and leave you s-off if it is going in for warranty work don't forget you want to be s-on (fastboot oem lock) after running the RUU.

That's the command to relock after doing the HTC unlock. The command to set S-ON is "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and should only be run after the RUU is flashed and the stock bootloader is restored. If S-ON is set while a modified bootloader such as ENG, Revolutionary, or Juopunutbear is installed it will brick the phone.

So ramjet: if s-on, you lock then run ruu. But if s-off, you run ruu then lock if you wish. Is that right? I know it's a different kind of lock, but i didn't realize order mattered going s-off to s-on.

Yes, those are separate S-OFF's. The bootloader unlock (hboot S-OFF) is different from the radio S-OFF. This post from the MeanROM ICS thread has an explanation by Unknownforce, the developer behind the the hboot 1.4 downgrade method for radio S-OFF.
The "fastboot oem lock" command will undo the bootloader S-OFF, which is required to run the RUU.exe for users that are radio S-ON. Users that are radio S-OFF can run the RUU.exe without any special considerations.
Once the RUU.exe is run and the stock bootloader is installed, the phone will be bootloader S-ON regardless of the radio S-OFF status. To run fastboot commands like "flash" and "erase" the stock bootloader needs to be unlocked by the htcdev method or a custom bootloader modified to support those commands needs to be flashed, which requires radio S-OFF.
After installing a custom bootloader, setting radio S-ON via the "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" bricks the phone because the bootloader is not signed by HTC and that is not allowed with radio S-ON. Therefore a stock bootloader needs to be reinstalled before setting radio S-ON and the easiest way to do that is flash an RUU.exe.
Hope that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks boss. Learn something new everyday. :thumbup:

Thank-you very much for all your post, and a special thank to ramjet73.
It's clear now, but I will try tomorow.

Hello,
After all your explanations, I was reassured to install "RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe"
Unfortunately it did not work: probably due to the absence of CID (HTC__203) of the revolutionary HBOOT.
So I took the rom.zip file in the% temp% directory and I renamed PG86IMG.zip. I pushed on my sdcard.
A reboot in the bootloader and the EVO 3D has successfully installed the ROM with firmware radio, recovery, system ... in short, everything
Now my HBOOT is 1.53.0007 HTC, it does not show revolutionary, but it is unlocked and S-OFF
Now I think it is acceptable to send like that. What do you think?
In fact I've not said what the problem was my phone: After installing a ROM that had the good idea to turn xLOUD (I think that's it) it has blown me the speaker (communication only)
Thank you again for your help

Ok, i dit it !
Code:
fastboot oem lock
relocked my phone
and
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
put my phone S-ON ! (radio)
Everything was fine in the end? I'm in the exact same situation and I'm installing PG86IMG.zip as we speak. Did HTC see anything wrong with your phone?
Hi Everyone. Now I'm on stock hboot 1.53.0007 S-ON and I'd like to do S-OFF. I understand that i should unlock via HTC Dev, then root and after that S-OFF. But my question is how does the bootloader looks after S-OFF via JuopunutBear? Does it make LOCKED and S-OFF? If not what should I do (if it's possible) to go back for a locked bootloader (not relocked)? And if JuopunutBear makes bootloader LOCKED i should be able to flash RUU, than use fastboot oem writesecure flag 3 to make S-ON and that's all? Cheers

You are most correct sir. After you perform the wire trick the end result is a "locked" bootloader with s-off. With s-off you can flash any version of your carrier and regions ruu. Definetely right after you flash ruu you would fastboot and use that command to get back on s-on. I hope I answered your questions. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need more help. Peace.
Please hit the thank you button if I helped you in anyway.
One more thing. When it comes to the end of S-OFF via JuopunutBear there is a question: Do you want to install juopunutbear modified hboot? What will happen when I'm going to choose No? I will be on stock locked hboot with S-OFF? What pros are with Juopunutbear modified hboot? And I understand that if I want to get rid of Juopunutbear hboot I must flash RUU? Cheers
With s-off you can flash any hboot you desire by renaming the file PG86IMG.zip, place it on root of sd, reboot bootloader.
Jbear hboots accept more adb commands than stock.
sudo passwd root
I need to relock my cell to S-ON as I need to send my cell to HTC for repairs as my GPS stopped working. How do I do that if I accomplished S-OFF with jbear and HTCDev method.
Thanks!

You need to start by flashing the 2.89.651.2 RUU, either using the RUU.exe from Windows or an RUU.zip renamed to PG86IMG.zip from the bootloader. If you didn't do the htcdev unlock again after the wire trick, the stock bootloader should show ***LOCKED*** with a version of 1.58. Since you are only getting the phone serviced, it's probably OK to leave it S-OFF, but if you want it 100% stock you need to issue the following command after you have verified that the bootloader is 1.58:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
Once you have issued this command your phone will be S-ON and you will have to do the wire trick again after you get it back to be S-OFF. My understanding is that most repair facilities, including Sprint, don't mind if you give it to them S-OFF. However, if you are sending it back to HTC it might be worth doing since with stock software, a locked bootloader and S-ON it will look "factory fresh" to them.
You might also want to test your GPS again once everything is back to stock, just to make sure it's not a ROM problem.

i'm s-on running Neo's Tron 1.2 (amazing btw). this is my first venture into rom'ing, and i've had a bad screen issue from the start. long to short, my warranty expires next week so figured i'd exchange it out. i need to get my phone in returnable condition, any advice? as always, the help is much appreciated. i don't plan to ask all these questions more than once lol
If you are s-on,
First relock your phone in fastboot using the following command:
fastboot oem lock
Then save anything you need off both cards.
Then download and run this RUU to get back to stock. Just put it on your sd card and boot into hboot.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Let it run through a few times, make sure it's finished so it can get all the system files.
Once it's done you will be stock again. The phone will say "relocked" in hboot but that hasn't been a problem with anyone yet.
If you are s-off you are probably already locked and I think you can just run the RUU but you should confirm that with someone.

I was S-off and locked. I did not have to relock via fastboot. FYI Setting my phone back to stock since my DNA will be here soon.
Only after you are back to stock ROM and hboot and have verified that you are bootloader locked, if you want to put the phone back to S-ON, do this:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
I have HBOOT-1.57.0000 with OS-4.09.605.1. I was trying to get it S-ON and locked so I could get it replaced. I now have S-ON but I forgot to flash lock bootloader zip before running these commands:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001 (2 underscores)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (verify your stock CID)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It says "Relocked" instead of locked. I have tried moonshine, rumrunner, and every RUU I can find but they all give an error. Could someone please tell me how I can get it to say locked again? I will be charged for the phone soon if it is not returned. Thanks.

No ruu will change that. The only think you could do is sunshine s-off it and fix that after rooting it using the adb command to "lock". Then turn s-on. It would cost you $25. If the phone boots, I would personally probably just send it as is. Its s-on and locked and stock. What can they say about that?
This ruu will run but will not change that.
