I am trying to go back to stock and i relocked the bootloader then it said Loading.....PH85IMG. Then it said Checking.......PH85IMG. After that it just went back to hboot. I have no idea why. Then I decided that i had to unlock the bootloader so i used the HTCdev method. I get to the last step that unlocks the bootloader. I type in the command then it just says waiting for device. I REALLY need help guys
Did you install the HTC Drivers?

Yes, I used pdanet which usually works all the time
Alright. So do you want to lock or unlock the bootloader? Your original post it kind of confusing.

I am trying to go back to stock. I locked it before to do that but it didn't work. Now I need to unlock it again
I figured it out. I got it unlocked. But.....why can i not go back to stock? I think it is because i still have Hboot .0004. Does anybody have the PH85IMG.zip file that i can go back to stock with for my recovery? It is very important because i am getting a replacement device
Well you need to reflash the stock ruu then relock the bootloader.
Edit:
If you look in development Xboarder has posted all the ruu files. The search bar would have found that for you. Xboarder also has a thread how to go back to stock.

That is what i tried. I need the older one for my version of hboot
I'm going to go on a limb here and not read the entire thread and just by the title, I can tell you that your bootloader is locked...unlock your bootloader and you won't have this problem!!! you are probably trying to flash an older .img file or something...unlock bootloader, once you're updated there's not way of going back to an older RUU, since baseband and kernel have been altered, I suggest you do an over the air update of the phone, and install the latest RUU that xboarder has provided. the only reason you would hang in fastboot is trying to flash a mismatched RUU.

oh ok..yea...then he's probably trying to install an outdated RUU or and incompatible RUU, same thing happened to me...so just like i stated...check your firmware version update to the latest 1.43 over the air...the flash RUU from xboarders page in develpment, I beleive he has removed the older RUU's so thats why you might have to do an over the air update, since older RUU's are not avilable..if you've already updated the firmware to the latest 1.43, then I believe you should not have a problem with the RUU. If you have not updated to the latest firmware...flash the stock recovery (you need this to get an over the air update), do an over the air update, then you can use the latest RUU. hope this helps...get back to me.

What firmware are you running currently?
If you have 1.43 then you need to relock your bootloader and flash a valid 1.43 PH85IMG.zip ruu.
You may also consider going back to stock rom, unrooting by rm /system/app/SuperUser.apk then flashing the stock recovery back. Afterwards relock your bootloader.

What is your hboot version?
Did you ever install the 1.43 OTA firmware?

Then you have the 1.36 partitions with a rom based off 1.43 ruu.
That's probably why you're having problems.
Which RUU are you trying to flash?

Then that's probably the problem.
You may need the 1.36 ruu and since the FBI shut down a lot of the mirrors we lost the links.
But all hope isn't lost. I still have the files! I'm working on uploading them now. It's just going to take about 5 hours for each and I'm uploading three for xboarder now.
YOU'RE ALL LUCKY THAT I'M A PACK RAT!!!
I thought I would start a thread to help people that sent there DNA out to get JTAG s-off and now are trying to flash a custom Rom.
If anybody want to put there experience on here so people know the steps and the correct way to handle the bootloader.
I think it would be helpful. I am still waiting for mine to come back from mobiletechvideos so it would be helpful for me to.
Thanks to anyone who contributes.
I'm pretty sure this should be in general. Just sayin.

s-off dna
The purpose of the forum is to get the right info I've seen conflicting points on whether or not you still need to unlock the bootloader after s-off.
My understanding was that once your s-off you don't need to unlock because it bypasses the bootloader security checks. I am probably wring but I was hoping to get a clarified answer with this forum what do think choochoo

You shouldn't have to all you really need to do is flash the ENG Hboot and flash a recovery and then flash a Rom most have root already and your good to go. If you wanna use the stock hboot and only want su permission then you do need to unlock hboot it to be able to flash a recovery and superuser or supersu.

The eng hboot has more functions available so there is a better chance of messing up the phone. Most people stick with the stock hboot since that's good enough for most.

Where do I find the non-eng hboot? I'm paranoid that if I ever need to s-on my phone I'll further I have eng h-boot and brick it so I kind of want to go back.

Just got my phone back from the JTAG service and this was the exact procedure. Flashed the ENG boot and then flashed recovery. Bootloader still says 'LOCKED' but allowed me to flash.
I've JTAGG'd 18 DNA devices so far on the OTA update (I do this on the downlow due to specific "developer" who can't understand how to get all phones to take the RIFF JTAG flash software.
Flash ENG Hboot if you want the options available to it, though not mandatory. Install a root program (SuperSU is my recommendation), then flash a recovery.
Immediately backup your current setup, then go for any ROM you see fit. Profit.
I'm not sure if our AT&T One's use the same recovery as the international. Didn't get a chance to back it up before flashing twrp. I did make a nandroid backup of everything else though. Much thanks!

I'd like to be able to flash the stock recovery and relock the bootloader in case I need to return the device.
If Let's Talk ships my unlocked developer edition despite my cancel request, I'm going to have two Ones and it would be easiest to return the 32GB AT&T model.

If you turn it in to the store you might as well leave it unlocked. They won't notice. If you relock your bootloader I'm pretty sure it will just say relocked, it won't go back to locked anyway.

yeah, you're right.. I just saw that in another thread.
They wouldn't see it unless they booted it up in bootloader mode, so I guess returning it won't be an issue as long as someone posts the stock recovery at some point in the next 2 weeks.

I dont even think the recovery matters, just reset factory settings before going in and you should be fine. Ive returned a good amount of phones, and most were bootloader unlocked. Never got questioned once, they didnt even care.
Was on rooted stock for the longest time and finally got tired of it and installed the Global ICS RUU and got Juopunutbear S-OFF. My bootloader screen says juopunutbear now instead of tampered/locked/unlocked now.
Had a few questions that I didn't find the answers to.
Do I still need HTCDev unlock?
How Do I root?
What recovery do I use? I was going to go with TWRP 2.5 but they apparently don't support it for Rezound, any recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks!!

No more HTC dev unlock. Find vinyl freaks thread for his modified hboot 2.27 in ph98img form and flash that from hboot. Once that's done flash a custom recovery via fast boot. You'll then be able to flash superuser/busybox from recovery and end up with a rooted version of that ruu. Alternatively, you could just flash a new custom ROM from recovery once you hit that step. Enjoy s-off!!
I still use amon 3.16. No problems with it for me. Ymmv

Does VinylFreaks hboot have some advantage over jpbear's? Once the recovery was flashed I was planning to flash CM10 or 4.2 AOKP if i could find it. Is that a bad idea?

Getting Soff can unlock you boot loader and if u do it through htc devs it unlocks your our boot loader but keeps Son but it's you use revone , it would unlock Son to soff and you are able to change CID and flash radios thru hboot but you can flash any rom that is compatible to the htc one but just unlocking the bootloader. You don't necessary need soff to flash Roma but it's good to have off thru if u want to return you phone back to the carrier and remove Tampered and return done back to stock !!!!

I'm not sure the last post was clear for a NOOB. S-On / Off refers to the security of the device. With S-On, the phone will only allow you to flash things built for your device. This prevents you from messing up the phone by flashing the wrong stuff or wrong area of the memory.
You can unlock your phone without S-Off, root it, and flash any ROMs you like, so long as they are for your particular phone model.
