So my wife just upgraded to a new phone and I am trying to flash her Tbolt back to stock on the latest ICS version. Currently it is running a rooted stock GB rom and we never upgraded to the OTA ICS build when it came out. It has S-Off by the original exploit method (not Rev or HTC Dev). Its been forever since I have had to do anything with this phone and I want to return it to stock so I can sell it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Here is some bootloader info:
MECHA XD ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-1.04.2000 (PG05100000)
MICROP-/
RADIO-1.48.00.0930w_3
eMMC-boot

Thanks!!
Found a Fix
So after alot of relearning about the tbolt, I figured out how to get where I needed to be. Since I didn't see any responses on this thread I figured I would post my findings for any future person that needs similar help.
So basically I followed 2 threads. First the one below which allowed me to flash to a full RUU and get back to stock hboot.

Then I followed this newer link to flash the latest OTA to ICS without having the phone active on my plan.

I followed both these posting to the letter which go the phone back to the latest OTA and stock bootloader. Yes it shows that it has been relocked but who really cares about that when its supported by HTC dev.
Enjoy!!

First of all, im a huge n00b so please dont get mad at me if this is a stupid question.
I have a 3VO CDMA for Sprint that runs the stock HTC ROM Android 2.3.3 Software Version 1.13.651.7. I got S-OFF on my phone using the Revolutionary tool, and im wondering if it will remain unlocked if i do the OTA upgrade to Software Version 2.17.651.5.
Thank you!
you shouldn't have to take the ota update im pretty sure their is a rom in the dev section.
being S-OFF, in theory, it should stay unlocked, but don't risk it and go grab any of the stock rooted ROMs in the dev section

Don't worry about the ''n00b'' thing. We can tell by your profile, so you should never have to worry about being ridiculed for legitimate question.
You should be ok with your update. But safe bet is to always update through the files we have here. Check out the AIO radio update in the dev section, and grab the Lean ROM. You'll be good to go.
Have you had a look at:

There are some Full RUU file links by xhausx to get the update and keep your hboot version that may be what your looking for:

It was with Leedroid 4.1.0 and i want to get back to Leedroid's GB.
I tried to flash directly a GB's RUU , but then stuck at HTC screen.
I then install PG41IMG and tab know work, but is under Android 3.2.1.
I tried Globaltron's downgrade from HTC OTA solution it doesn't work.
I want to install
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed

I WANT to do the same, download from LeeDroid HC to LeeDroid GB. Reading post 3 of the download instructions it sounds like to me I only need to flash a custom ROM if going backward and already S-off. If going to stock ROM though, you must do the other steps. Am I just reading it wrong?
back from S-OFF HC to S-OFF GB, you need to flash (via fastboot ) the file mentioned in post #3 according to your device model then flash the custom Gb rom
Hi, I have a Evo 3D GSM with S-off running a rooted ROM, what do I need to do in order to have my phone back to factory stock? Searched, but couldn't find anything related to S-Off devices.
Thanks
Flash a stock based Rom or to go full stock run an ruu that's compatible with your phone and won't update your hboot ver.

Ok so I got the RUU links from THIS THREAD.
I have checked my radio and software version already. Now, I found the link for my radio (1.02.12.0427). However, the software version on my phone is 1.13.651.1 710RD. The RUU does not have anything like that listed. Is that the same as the 1.13.651.1 RUU? I do not know what the 710RD denotes and I do not wish to brick my phone or cause any unnecessary issues that I will then have to deal with.
Can anyone confirm that this is the RUU that I need?
yes thats the one u need.. i was thinking the same thing a few days ago when i had to flash a ruu.. your all set
Hi every one
There is ics for s on?
The official OTA (Over the Air) ICS Update has been released some days before. If you dont modified your phone you should go to settings -> Software Update or something like this. And there should be an update for you. If you have a modified ROM on your phone, you won't be able to download this. Then you need to search the forums for Unlocking/getting S-OFF.
Ok
I want to do but I don't know several things.
Can you tell me exactly what I need to start?
Now my hboot 1.49.0014 and my Rom shawn3d gsm rom 1.4
Do I need to downgrade the hboot. Can u tell me which one?
