Hey I'm 3.16 S-ON and am trying to return to stock so I can send my phone back to Sprint. When I try to flash the 3.16 Stock ROM it reboots and gets stuck on the HTC splash screen. I am on TWRP 2.4.1.0 and currently on Viper 3.1.0. Any help would be much appreciated.

Being S-on, don't you have to flash the boot image separately?
Also, where did you find the stock ROM that you are trying to flash?
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much

No problem. One thought, though. Much like with a RUU, will TWRP let you install a stock ROM or do you have to install the stock recovery first?

Well I flashed the Kernel via Flash img GUI and then went and wiped and flashed the Stock 3.16 ROM and same result. It boots rather quickly as if it doesn't flash the ROM at all and just sits on the HTC splash screen with the red letters...

If you're just trying to return to stock so you can send it back you should be able to just run the RUU...

I think my best bet would be running the Facepalm S-OFF method while on a stock ROM then using the MOD to change the HTC splashscreen to not have the red letters and change the text in my bootloader to S-ON and locked. Hope I can figure all that out tho without bricking...

Hi I have S-On and also have hboot 1.50 ... I want S-Off and hboot 1.40 Please help ASAP! I hate having to flash roms from a computer via fastboot sending recovery... Please help!
You can't downgrade once you are 1.50. Flashing isn't bad. You only need to fastboot boot recovery.img if you are changing kernels, and even then there's an app called flash image gui where you can flash the kernel, reboot into recovery and then flash the rom.

You just gonna have to wait for the devs to finish working on the downgrade or to get s-off on 1.5 hboot like me. Been waiting for a long time now.

Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
the people that have s-off and hboot 1.5 already were s-off on 1.4 and then upgraded. updating from 1.4 to 1.5 does not re-lock your NAND
Speaking of which, is there any improvements to be gained by upgrading the HBoot?

for real tho, bro, sorry for being sarcastic but not a whole lot we can do to help you here. you should know there is no way as of now to downgrade your hboot or s-off your existing s-on 1.5....
have you not heard of flash image gui? I don't use it as its easier for me to just flash with adb. but definitely grab it from the market.

I agree on that one once you have Hboot 1.5 your stuck with S-ON and HTC dev root method.. No way to downgrade .........................................................
Not a big deal tho if you have a computer and ADB
Tho without a computer I don't know how far you will get with rooting....
I have hboot 1.5 S-ON no issues ADB works fine for me fastboot boot recovery.img

If you're S-On you cannot flash new radios at the moment without taking the OTA or flashing the RUU.

Yep just head on over to development and look through the guide. If you have any trouble with any of the terms or would just like to read up before jumping into the a-off guide, I wrote a pretty extensive post explaining just about everything I could think of.

I went s-on since day one after I got bored of stock and have never had any problems Tbh, I almost pity all the poor s-off folks who were too terrified to take the ota All it takes is a couple extra steps to flash anything and its been worth it so far. I preordered so I had plenty of chances to S-Off early on but I don't regret it at all.

Another con is you can't update your firmware unless you relock and take the OTA or hope a recovery flashable zip comes along
So if your hboot was s-off, how is it any different than s-on? You still have to run the RUU to go back to stock then get the OTA right? Or are you talking about some other OTA?

There are Firmware zips available right now for 3.15 that can be flashed in the bootloader but you must be S-OFF to flash them.Just flash and everything is updated except hboot,kernel,and stock recovery.
Flashing those firmwares is the same as taking the OTA except for what I mentioned above

Ugh - took the OTA on an HTCdev unlocked boot loader and now it seems hboot 2.09 locks down the systems (can't update supersu binary, they locked down /system?). Now on viperboy stock rooted rom...
Hopefully they come out with an s-off technique for 2.09, need to be able to "hide" supersu/root binaries on my device...
Any news on s-off for hboot 2.09?
Hi, I'm am a noob, I got the JB update, then decided to root my phone. I am unlocked and rooted. I would like to turn s-off but my hboot is 2.09.
I am trying to flash mean bean and every time it gets to around 25%, my phone reboots. I am using twrp to try flashing it.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or what I need to do?
Thanks again.
I've read that eventually someone will create a zip file that S-ON people can flash to get the latest firmware? I'm unlocked with S-ON & HBoot 1.19 and the instructions to unlock in the first place was a pain and it sounds just as confusing to get the latest firmware. Dirty raccoon also looks like something ill screw up. Does anyone have an idea on how long this zip of the firmware will become available? Unless its flashing ROMs/themes its outside of my league

I realize it's not a direct answer to your question, but I was in the same position as you until yesterday when I finally created a live DVD of Ubuntu and followed the directions for DirtyRacun to finally get S-OFF on my hboot 1.19. If you follow the steps carefully and take them one at a time, it's really not that bad.
I'm now running rooted Jellybean stock with the latest radio. Good luck to you.

As far as I know you need full write access to nand memory to be able to flash any firmware. Dirty Racun isn't too hard to run successfully
If you are s-on you have to relock your bootloader then take the OTA to update firmware. After you take the ota you can unlock your bootloader again. Although it is highly recommended to s-off because there's no telling how long it could take to get s-off for the new hboot.
I just relocked and ran RUU now im back up and running and currently installing the JB update. I may re-root in a lil while i will just rock stock till the new year. Thanks for everyones help!

Hey people. I'm having a hard time flashing roms on my 4GLTE. Ill wipe, factory reset and wipe the cache but when I install the Rom it doesn't do anything. I've only been able to flash 2 roms the stock with goodies rom and the viper rom. And ideas on what's going on or help? Thanks
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Follow the tutorials under General and start with posting details such as current specs, SON, SOFF, Hboot etc., then which ROMs you have tried and steps you have done to attempt installing them.
The more details you give the more XDA can help.
Please give us some more information. Are you s-off? Are you on the most recent firmware? Have you updated your touch panel driver? What do you mean by "nothing happens"? Are you getting boot loops or is the phone not booting at all or is the touch panel unresponsive?

Sorry I'm on S-On I do have the latest hboot. I've pretty much tried every updated Rom in the forum. It will either 1, stay on the HTC screen, 2 it will boot loop or 3 ill just have a black screen where ill have to restart back into recovery and go back to my previous backup. I have the Viper Rom right now. I can try to attach a screen shot of the roms I've downloaded and all of them gave me 1 of those 3 problems except viper and the stock with goodies Rom

Being that you are s-on you have to flash the kernel/boot.img first use flash image gui from the playstore or fastboot flash the kernel.
I suggest getting s-off it will save you so many headaches

Some ROMs (like Viper and MeanBean) include a kernel installer for S-on. For those that don't you'll need to follow bigdaddy's advice above.
