Is It possible to return to stock ruu and stock hboot without losing s-off? I posted earlier about the memory issue i'm having and i'm thinking it's due to me upgrading hboots. But i don't want to have to go through the entire process or getting s-off again. Right now i'm rooted on neo's aokp never flashed a ruu just always flashed patchable firmware zips. updated to 2.73 hboot i think it was today to fix damaged sd card issue. Please help.
Yes, first RUU, then rename the hex-edit hboot entitled "locked" to PH98IMG and flash in bootloader. (You will not lose S-Off)

s-off is permanent unless you use the fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

Due to the very right side of my touch screen failing I have a warranty replacement on the way. I was able to flash back to the last GB RUU from the ICS Leak without issues. However I would like to bet able to minimize the any reasons for dismissal of the claim. I know when I got s-off, it locked (not re-locked) my bootloader, however I unlocked it after to install 4ext and then root via flashable zip.
So the question is can I revert to s-on as I doubt I could re s-off update my phone to relock it.
Alright, was able to with some help over at the Juopunutbear IRC, wound up having to s-on the device, re s-off (so the device is locked not relocked) then s-on'd the device again.
Phone is 100% stock and ready for return.
Where did u get the gb ruu id like to reset back to stock

Guide?
Can you please post what exactly did you do to restore your phone to 100% stock?

Download the stock rom you want from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
Rename the file PH85IMG.zip, put it on your external sdcard and flash from Hboot.
You need to have s-off to downgrade.
Did you use the writesecureflag 3 command to revert to s-on?
I am going to flash the new ICS leak (build number 3.14.605.5) in hboot. after i do that, do i have to flash the new stock 2.25 hboot from superchilpills post here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614366
any help clarifying that would be great. i am s-off and I have been flashing roms and everything just fine, the only thing I am still a little unsure about is the hboot thing. any help would be great, thanks a lot guys
If your going to do a full ruu then running the 2.25 hboot I have posted is redundant
My suggestion is if you want to stick with the ruu and not a custom Rom then just ruu
If you want to retain the Rom you are on then only flash the one I have posted as it won't affect what Rom you are running

Hey guys, I have a similar question, but just want to be explicitly clear. I am S-OFF but then ran the full RUU for the newest 3.14, so my hboot is now the 2.25. It's not allowing me to flash back a custom recovery, so I presume I have to revert the hboot to 2.21 at least. Is it as simple as following your post posted above, downloading the ICS 2.21 hboot, renaming, and flashing in bootloader? thanks
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't notice at first it had relocked after running the RUU. Successfully re-unlocked, then pushed recovery like normal. Back in business.
I currently have Mean Rom installed, ICS, HBoot 1.57, and Baseband 1.06.00.0426. I'm currently trying to flash a Radio by moving it to my SD card, then going to Hboot and let it scan for PG86IMG but when it gets to parsing it just go to Fastboot automatically. How do I fix this?

Are you s-on?
S-on users cannot flash any radios unless the bootloader is relocked
They have to be signed by HTC to flash through bootloader
I recommend gaining s-off using this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889438
This guide is very useful and pretty much has everything you need to gain s-off including ruu links for sprint and virgin mobile too I believe
By the time you finish you will already have your radios updated and can flash whatever ROM, radio,kernel,hboot and recovery you want.
If you are s-off, make sure the file doesn't have a .zip.zip double extension. That sometimes happens in Windows.
I recently bought my new Evo 3D from eBay. As far as I can tell, it is in perfect shape. I was hoping to flash it to Page Plus and was dismayed when I realized how impossible the rooting process looked. I began with downgrading my 1.58 HBOOT to 1.40. Now I am attempting to flash the 1.13 RUU so I can finally move on in this process, but every time I attempt to flash it (or any other RUU), I get the error, "Error [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR." Now most fastboot commands do not work, and my phone bootloops with the stock ROM. Any idea how to fix it?
I used the juopunut bear wire trick for s-off so excuse me if I'm a little ignorant here with the downgrade method. Once you are down to hboot 1.40 (which sounds like you were successful with) can't you use the revolutionary s-off tool?
Once s-off you can easily run any ruu but I guess I don't understand why you need to downgrade even further to s-off, when revolutionary (I thought) works with hboot 1.40 and 1.30

As I understand I can't use Revolutionary without booting into Android (since it needs ADB), which is currently impossible because of the bootloop.
I should also point out that HTCDev unlock fails for me. On hboot 1.58 the fastboot commands are successful, but I am never presented with the unlock dialog on the phone. On hboot 1.4 most fastboot commands fail. Also, I can easily restore to stock by flashing a PG86IMG which includes hboot 1.58.

So far, in every case I've seen, running the latest RUU has solved the bootloader unlock issue for people. I would run the 1.58 RUU and see if you can unlock the bootloader. Then go from there.
Or as I saw mentioned in the other thread, use the PG86IMG version of the RUU or extract it yourself from the exe. Flashing through the bootloader does not perform a cid check.

So far, I have yet to have any success despite flashing many RUUs. I took a break for quite a while, but decided I may try again. I am downloading now the 2.08 RUU, which one thread suggested.

If I remember correctly, the HTCDev unlock doesnt work for the earlier bootloaders. It says so on the very first page when its walking you through the steps. I could be wrong but you may wanna keep that in mind
Hey all,
so I've been running ARHD on firmware 127.538.8 for awhile. I saw the RUU come out for 4.3 on Tmob, so obviously I was all like, **** yeah! So I flashed a stock ROM (based on 127.538.11) and then tried to run the RUU. Unlocked, S-OFF. For some reason, the RUU flashed Hboot (I'm currently stuck at 1.55.00) and then decided to throw an error 155 at me. So I tried relocking the bootloader, with a command I found browsing the forums that sets the status to Locked. Flashing the RUU here didn't work either. Re-unlocked the bootloader (I have no user data at all... it's sad). I realized, okay, I'm Unlocked and have a custom recovery installed (TWRP). Even if I relock, the RUU doesn't flash. My idea right now is to flash the 127.538.11 RUU to get Hboot 1.44, as well as a working non-hacked firmware. I'm not sure if that RUU will work, though I'm hoping it does. If it does, then I can OTA update without a problem.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how to do this? I can RUU to 127.538.11, then downgrade to x.8 and use revone to lock my bootloader and attempt an OTA. I'm not sure what to do here... I can also reflash ARHD 30 and stick with that for awhile. I can do basically anything recommended, as I have S-OFF and TWRP.
Thanks!
I don't mind being stuck on stock, however I do want to be able to warranty my phone in the future -- will having hboot 1.55.00 with 127.538.8 firmware be a problem? Can I downgrade my hboot since I'm S-Off? Any help here would be absolutely wonderful...
