Well I rooted my phone and I backed up the original ROM...
So my Question is.....If I go back to the original sprint ROM can I still update it through Menu>Settings>system updates?
I read somewhere that it might be a problem since my phone is rooted and what not
Thanks

You can, but you will lose root, and since the new updates include hboot 1.5, you will have to use HTC unlock to re-root. You could always get an updated stock sprint rom that is pre-rooted so you can stay rooted.

With all of the recent excitement over the awesome new roms coming to the rezound I was looking to get back into the game after not really messing with my device since unlocking, rooting and installing cleanrom 4.3. I've been looking through the forums and feel a little behind because I missed out on all off the s-off madness. I wasn't sure if my best route to get in on the new roms is to s-off from my current state or if I need to try and get back to stock first!! Here's my current state and my hboot is 2.10, any help would be hugely appreciated!!
S-off would definitely save you a lot of headache with boot images. You will need to relock bootloader to ruu, But when you s-off, it will lock it for you so you can update firmware easily afterwards.

yeah I figured s-off would be the best method. When I s-off they have me select my version should i be using the "early ICS release" option? Also, should I be concerned with my HBOOT version or is that not a concern, I just wanted to make sure I do s-off correctly? Thanks for your quick response!!
You should just be able to select your firmware version. I nandroided back to the bone stock gb Rom from the box that I htcdev unlocked with and it worked flawlessly. Are you still on gb firmware and running the old firmware patch?

Does anyone know where I can get the full RUU for the newest global firmware (4.05.605.14)? I've searched everywhere and I can't seem to find it.
Not sure, but don't think one has been made/released yet. Still waiting...

Is there an RUU for 4.05.605.14?
I need to return my phone to stock and currently have 4.05.605.14 and am s-on, if there's no ruu what do I do?
Do the s-off procedure, downgrade to another official ruu (not a leaked one). After doing all that, factory reset and son. Then accept the OTA. Only way to do it as of now as son you will get "relocked" anyway. Need to s-off to get "locked"

Thanks Uzephi, I really appreciate the response! I figured I would have to go the S-OFF route, not looking forward to that!
i also need RUU for this model .. i have S-ON model and on hang condition

Unfortunately this RUU, and anything after 4.3.605.2 (which was a beta), never were released... the last official release was 3.14.605.12.
The really bad news is downgrading is not possible while S-ON.
I am using a T-mobile HTC One. It was previously rooted. I restored to stock by using the RUU from HTC. I unlocked the bootloader so I currently have unlocked S-on. My HBOOT Ver is: 1.44.0000. Radio Version is 4A.17.3250.20. Am I screwed or can I still get S-OFF? I have tried Revone but it's not working. Any Ideas?

Sorry dude, pretty much screwed until they find a work around for the .11 update. I made the mistake of accidentally S-On and forgetting to lock instead of relocking my bootloader (wanted to return for warranty purposes). After that I've tried pretty much everything from downgrading to the stock ROM using customs ROMS trying to edit RUU's to work with my phone (Do not try this, easiest way to brick your very expensive phone) Nothing works as of now, Htc and t-mobile screwed us by not giving us the Stock RUU they knew what they were doing. But yes you have to wait.
*NOTE* On the otherhand i did learn that i didn't need to lock my bootloader to return it for warranty purposes the guy at the t-mobile store replaced it right there for me no questions asked. But the replacement i got came with the updated .11 ROM which means no S-Off for me still.
Damn. That's what I was afraid of. I just kept reading that as long as you had 1.44 h-boot it was still possible, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Well thanks anyway for responding.

Wait I thought you could s-off with that hboot i thought 5xxx was unable to s-off
You can s-off hboot 1.44 as long as you haven't taken the latest tmobile ota or used the tmobile ruu, they patched whatever it was that allowed us to s-off in the latest version

Can we downgrade?
If we go back to .8, can we S-OFF? I want to take this thing to GPE, but need S-OFF.

Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582&page=469
Lots of info there. Some of it conflicting but in a nutshell, no if you've taken the .11 update from T-Mobile.
i would wait till revone or moonshine get a fix on it.
Or go the HTC dev way

I have tried this and was unsuccessful. Luckily I was able to run the RUU and it was fine again but it won't achieve S-OFF
You can downgrade from .11 to .8 using a custom ruu. Google " downgrade from .11 to .8 rootzwiki" and you'll find it.

Ok guys not to sound stupid but I've rooted plenty of phones and have had pretty much every top tier phone. I've rooted all my android phones. I just don't understand the s-off portion of it all. I have s-off and currently rooted. What advantage do I have over someone that doesn't have s-off? I got my one already rooted so I never went through the process. I guess that's why I'm confused. I'm used to Samsung phones.
When the update comes next week should i just wait for a rooted version of it? I'm assuming so.

S-OFF basically allows you to do 2 main things you couldn't otherwise pertaining to Roms and such:
1- flash unsigned RUUs. You can flash custom firmware that don't belong to your device. IE: you can flash the newest 4.3 firmware prior to 4.3 releasing for the T-Mobile One.
2: get yourself out of a jam. Here's a great example. Let's say you flashed the stock GPE recovery and ROM. Your S-ON. You wanted the full GPE experience. Your phone took the newest update. It will flash 1.54 Hboot and update the boot loader to the black GPE version although you are S-ON and not running the GPE device. Without S-ON your SOL if you needed to go back to stock for whatever reason because the HBoot can't be rolled back on S-ON.
Its a good protection to have in your back pocket IMO

So that would explain how I am able to flash Roms from the international version. Well I guess I better be careful with any RUUs that are to come. I need to figure out how I'm going to update when the tmobile One's 4.3 update comes this week.

So once S-OFF is achieved, can flashing any RUU set it back to S-ON? If so, how can that be avoided?
I have a tmobile phone flashed with launch WWE firmware; don't care about WiFi calling or any carrier bloat, but did want the 1700 HSPA+. I'm thinking of clean flashing to latest Tmobile RUU to get the supposed LTE reception improvements, then going from there to back to launch WWE and to latest WWE (to try to retain settings).

No you would have to purposely set it back to s-on, an RUU won't do it. Would you be doing the tmobile Thu then installing WWE Rom ? Or flashing WWE RUU? Cause the ruu would just reset everything XP

Flash ruu
Restore backup with twrp
Apply WWE update
Oh yeah then that should work just wanted to make sure :thumbup:

Thanks. It does seem a bit like voodoo magic but I want to avoid any possible issues that people in the radio only thread have reported.

I'm looking to see how difficult it would be to revert to a stock AT&T HTC One from GPe 4.3 Hboot 1.54. The method I was going to try is below:
1. Change CID back to stock.
2. Relock
3. Run the 1.26 Cingular RUU exe
Is that method plausible? Or, would I have to downgrade Hboot back to 1.44 first?
In that case would it be:
1. Change CID back to stock.
2. Downgrade Hboot.
3. Relock
4. Run the 1.26 Cingular RUU exe
I'm not even too sure I even want to downgrade, I just wanted to get a gameplan just in case I decide one day to.
Also, would the RUU turn my phone back to S-On?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can lend me. I see conflicting information out in the wild, so I wanted to get the professionals take.
If you changed your mid you will need to change that back or the ota updates won't work

The att stock and gpe have the same mid so he only needs to revert the cid back to cws__001 and he is good. The only time you need to change the mid is if you are converting the att/dev/gpe edition to an European international edition since that is a different mid.
