I am sorry for being that guy but how do I return my HTC One back to factory/stock? I really did search but all I saw was rooted stock ROMs.
I think there is a ruu lurking about somewhere that is full on stock software wise, but as for s-off or boot splash from a custom recovery I don't know if it'll change either of those...at least that was my concern and would love to know for sure if someone more knowledgeable in this area responds.

did you backup your phone before flashing a custom ROM as that be the way to go. if you want to relock the bootloader you can do it but no way to set it back to its original state as far as I know as it will show relocked or something. the how to section here has all the info

I'm not too sure but I did it this way I believe. Can't really remember . Download the RUU file , if your are s-off and super Cid, then you have to change the Cid back to the orginal Cid. Once that is completed go into fastboot and use the commands to run the RUU. The RUU should take away the custom recovery and root. You will still be s-off and there is a guide to returning to back s-on but make sure that you do it after RUU or else it will brick I believe. After your s-on relock boot loader with the command and then re run RUU and you should be just like out if the box ..here's a link to RUUhttp://rootzwiki.com/topic/41226-leakruu-12650212/

So now that I have s-off through the wire method, what now?
I went and read the 5 pages in the development but everything is so unclear. After obtaining s-off i dont want to flash the wrong kernal or do something in the wrong order and brick my phone.
I want the latest ICS that has been leaked for the Amaze, and the latest sense which I think is 3.6, I read the threads relating to the two, but it doesnt tell you what other things need to be done (pre reqs) before following their respective instructions. Thanks to anyone who replies.
I have a telus htc amaze, unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com, s-off, and I have the hboot from juonoputbears s-off method (Anyone want to tell me exactly what this hboot is and how it is different from other hboots in the dev thread?), Is my htc a ruby?

ok HTC amaze = Ruby and you are almost there. all you need to do now is super cid your phone and flash the ICS and start using FACE UNLOCK .
I will help you out but there are answers to all your questions already. Since you are on telus, you will have to supercid your device. The device name for the amaze is ruby. You have most of the prerequisite elements in place.. Check out this part of the ics thread...

xndabox, is that the most useful hboot out right now or is it just more useful for the stuff that I am about to try? Ray, would it be better that I use the hboot that xnd posted?
Also, Do I have to do anything with something called "recovery" or was that already accomplished when i unlocked the bootloader/ s-offe'd my device/ hbooted the whatever? I used to have an atrix and there was something called clockwork mod recovery or something that allowed us to get into a menu after boot if needed, but for the amaze there is already a menu there. Thanks and a +1 to all the helpful posts you guys had after I get a clear image of what to do after supercid.
Sorry I went to bed. But I recommend this hboot to future proof for anything that can come up later.. But I did find this for you. ..

Thanks for your quick replies.
Download the hboot from the telus how-to.. Then rename it to what he says ph85img.... You can flash that through the bootloader.. Which recovery did you use? It says to back up your apn address first though.

Either hboot will work though, both account for the same thing.

Thanks for the help! my last question pertains to the instructions for downloading ICS recoveries:
1) Be Locked with S-Off using JuopunutBear's S-Off method.
2) Flash the ENG Hboot 1.90.2005
3) With S-off and the ENG Hboot, rename the RUU to PH85IMG.zip and put on root of external SD card
4) Boot into bootloader and apply the update
5) Once updated, reflash the ENG Hboot again
6) Flash the CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery *****.img)
7) Flash the Superuser package in recovery to gain root
For step 6 and 7, once I have root access, how do I completly delete/remove CWM 5.5.04, so that I can install a different recovery instead and still have root?:

You can sub cwm with twerp from the amaze all in one tool. But when you are rooted, you can install any recovery software. Any rom for the amaze.. Any kernel for the amaze. Benefit of root, s-off, and eng hboot.
You are done! Did ics boot already?
4ext app will override whatever recovery software you have installed.

If you look for the hboots thread in the dev section, there is a modified one that will say 'locked'. You just need to download it and flash. I believe you may actually have to re s-off temporarily to flash it though. Could be wrong

You can, but it wouldn't do any good as the ruu would not clear the tampered, unlocked message. This is why you need the modified hboot I mentioned. It has the message modified that has the correct message of 'locked'.

And you do need to s-off then flash the hex edited hboot.. all you need is for that phone to stay locked and be on a stock Rom and your good. Verizon doesn't usually check as long as you went thru the trouble shooting process with them over the phone and theyll send you a new one in the mail and you'll ship the old one back. They can't technically send you a phone and then charge you for the old one (if it is ***tampered***) cuz they wouldn't have done the proper trouble shooting before sending you a new phone. For all they know you got your phone that way.

Need to get back to stock from twrp 2.5 w dumlock. Long story short, I was given a Rezound last year by a friend then I upgraded to Galaxy S4 and now my friend's mom needs the Rezound bc her phone is acting up. I need to get back to stock ASAP but I think Dumlock has thrown me for a loop when trying to fastboot oem lock before I run RUU.exe. I tried the restore recovery and restore boot in TWRP but when I moved my SD card from the rezound to my S4 I wiped all the data. Yes, im an idiot and apparently dumlock means dummies like me will lock up their phones. LoLz! Can someone walk me through please?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
What do you mean unDumlock? Dumlock is just a rom mod to assist in flashing with an s-on device. Just re-lock and run an RUU. Before you do though, just going to see if I can give you some advice, What your model/radio information from hboot in the upper left hand portion?
Ok Im embarrassed to tell u my initial mistake but I was able to fastboot oem lock and now I am getting the hboot error when I run the RUU.exe. my hboot is 2.27 and my radio is 2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r

If your bootup screen for sure says Locked or Relocked, then you can
find here on XDA factory install of 4.03.605.2.
First one came from Android Police. Not the RUU executable, but the zip.
Use it as a PH98IMG.zip located only on the removable sdCard.
It should load and install.
So a few weeks ago I soft bricked my htc one and i had a nice guy here on xda help me un brick it and it seemed like I was back to stock with no root. But when I keep trying the AT&T LTE update that I got recently I always get an error at the same spot when installing. I'm thinking I'm rooted because the kernel says "root" right in it ... Although root check says I'm not. I also get an error when rebooting after attempting the update. Help??!!!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You cannot update if you have a custom recovery installed like twrp or cwm.
You need to restore the stock recovery. Also how did you restore back to stock RUU or something else?
Lastly before soft brick were you soff and if so did you super Cid or change anything else?

I'm trying to get in contact with the person who helped me... But i was using TWRP and i believe he had me go back to stock RUU. It was a simple process to fix. He had me download a file which took a while and then I just clicked a few buttons and it got me back to stock. I thought I would be able to do updates because I wasn't rooted but i guess I still have a custom recovery.

OTA and custom recovery never works. You're better off flashing the rooted version of the new update, and the radio.

If you shutdown the phone, then hold power button down and volume button down at the same time it will boot up to the bootloader screen. What does the information on that screen show. Looking for CID number and S-Off or S-ON, Hboot version,etc. Also then with the volume rocker move to recovery and click the power button, does it load TWRP, CWM or the stock recovery?
If everything is stock you should be able to get the OTA updates.

Ok so im hoping this helps getting me on the right track to flashing roms correctly.... I soft bricked and i flashed a stock RUU like this guy does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WWNZpaQBh8&feature=youtube_gdata_player...so i dont have TWRP and i want to know my options if i can get OTA updates or i should just stick to flashing roms....
But when i go into bootloader it reads as follows..
*Relocked*
M7_UL PVT Ship S-On RH
H boot- 1.44.0000
Radio- 4a.14.3250.13
Open DSP- V 26.120.274.0202
eMMC- boot
May, 3, 2013
and then the normal stuff.
fastboot, recovery, factory reset, sim lock, image crc, showbarcode..
When i tried getting into recovery and loading up TWRP i got the same screen with a red triangle and a red exclamation point as when i try the software update. i used to have twrp but thats before an XDA member helped me out...
What is your Cid on the boot loader screen? Should be CWS__001 (could only be changed if you were ever s-off) other than that sounds like you are stock. You could download helium backup and backup all your apps. Then download the new att ruu and upgrade that way. Restore with helium when done.

Helium you can get from the Google play store. Can be used on a stock phone.
Were you ever s-off? Did you change your cid.? It is odd that you do not see a Cid. From fastboot can you run fastboot getvar all and see if you see your Cid?

Pls I'll be so glad if I can find some help.
You're already S-Off, why are you trying to unlock via htcdev.com?? To unlock via htcdev.com (which is not a complete unlock, unlike S-Off) then you have to be on the newest bootloader version. HBOOT-0.89.0007. I thought there was actually a link to the little RUU update that is just for the bootloader on the bottom of the walkthrough @ htcdev? It's been awhile since I played with one, but I'm sure it was there. If not, I can upload it. I am sure it's hanging around somewhere. But yea, unless you relocked it and stayed S-Off, all the htcdev stuff would not be needed.
Exactly as stated above
If there is an engineering bootloader for your phone you should get that as well, if I'm not mistaken the proper way of rooting your device is to exploit it with gfree, similar to the vision a phone I used for a long time, all info should be in the xda wiki to see if greed was used to exploit and how to flash the eng hboot

So pls how do I update to the latest hboot 0.89.0007 or how else can I unlock the bootloader and root?
What do you mean? It's the very beginning of the steps on how to unlock @ htcdev.com (and the RUU is there, just like I mentioned earlier). Are you certain that you need to do this? It seems like you have not done much research and might be getting yourself into more work than is needed.
so pls can I flash custom rom just with my s-off
Yes, you just need a custom recovery such as twrp, cwm, 4ext
But what you should do is go to the xda wiki or cyanogen wiki and follow the steps for rooting, these guides will give you true radio s-off, an engineering bootloader and a custom recovery so you can easily flash ROMs and easily fix your phone if issues come about
To answer you directly, yes you should be able to flash custom ROMs as is, but having to ask that questions makes me think you should read more about your device or the next thread you make will probably ask for help fixing a brick
