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 think my wife's Rezound is starting to have issues. It is randomly freezing and you need to power it off and on for it to come back. Even happened right after a clean flash while in the setup screens.
I do have ICS on it and my bootloader is unlocked and I am s-off. What are the steps needed before sending it back to Verizon and has anyone had any issues when sending the device back after re-locking it?
I looked for a thread on this but had no luck on a step by step process......
Appreciate the help in advance.
Reflash the factory RUU and then revert to S-ON. If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to relock it before you flash the RUU.

Where can we get the latest update RUU? Does it need to be flashed in the bootlader screen? How does one get back to S-ON?
So step one is to relock the bootloader which I know can be done with the tool.
Then flash the RUU, (waiting for correct way)
Then back to S-On (waiting on instructions how)
i'll help
Are you unlocked or locked?
You are s-off right?
What is you're hboot? is it modified?
I am unlocked
I am s-off
Not sure which hboot I am on. Can't get my wife's phone right now. I am not on the latest hboot I don't think but the one right before it.
As far as it being modified, was that something it asked when doing the s-off? If yes, then I believe I did it. Can no for sure tomorrow when I check the device.
Relock with the toolkit or with "fastboot oem lock"

Search is your friend.
Also, when you S-OFF, it will relock your bootloader. You do not need to unlock it again. S-OFF > unlock.
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.

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?
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
rotpot23
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
My rezound is currently having some major reception issues and Verizon is sending me a replacement phone. Is there a way to turn my phone back to S-ON from S-OFF?

Sure is. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25167284#post25167284
To start, make sure your bootloader is locked and flash a stock RUU.
Plug into your PC and run the following from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
Device: Flyer Wifi 16gb
HBOOT: 6.11.1111
Revolutionary S-OFF
No Root (apparently by Root Checker Basic)
3.2.1 RUU
i followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339909&postcount=1
to regain S-ON and standard recovery. Unfortunately it didnt work, I installed the RUU, it boots and works fine but if I send the devices to bootloader via ADB it lands back in Revolutionary. The guide was completed without errors.
So I am currently on RUU but with S-OFF and Revolutionary and I would like to get S-ON and standard recovery.
I found several other guides, but I cant see what puts them above the mentioned one and therefore I prefer to ask...
Thank you very much in advance for any help,

and that holds for everything I found.
Somebody said I could just use fastboot and send "fastboot oem lock" for the lock and RUU afterwards. But am I right that HBOOT is not replaced by RUU at all? Do I have to downgrade first?

the RUU flash will not write over a S Off Hboot. the procedure you listed in the OP is the only one I know of that will do what you want. Are you sure that when you:
fastboot flash hboot flyer_downgrader.nb0
it was successful?

Thank you for your help!
I attached the output of fastboot and I actually dont think that it flashes correctly but all I saw is "OKAY" and "finished"...
Is the screen supposed to show anything during this flash? Because it stays just the way it is and shows no change in HBOOT or any part of the fastboot screen.
After rebooting it says "HBOOT-6.10.1005" but revolutionary still.
Great Success!
Got it! Works with RUU
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_1.36.1114.32_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191235_signed
and NOT with the one I used. With this RUU I did the exact same procedure and succeeded. Now on stock recovery, S-ON and 1.10.0000!
Thank you for the guide, it really does work
