yea forgot to mention that looking for it now.
so, to recap, re-lock bootloader, flash stock recovery then run this file and that should put me back to 100% bone stock on T-mo 4.3, sound about right?

You do NOT need stock recovery to flash an RUU s-off.
With S-OFF you don't need to do anything. Plug your phone in and run the RUU. I just did this yesterday. All I had to do is flash TWRP and I'm right back to rooted.

did not know that, thanks for that info. i always do stock recovery and lock bl, now i can skip step. thanks mate
can this be flashed on a AT&T HTC One, just left them and love the phone. BL is unlocked, have flashed the T-Mobile radio, but my phone continuously drops to EDGE, then back to LTE and 4G, I thought the baseband puts the frequencies needed for optimal T-Mobile network compatibility, namely the WCDMA 1700....im in NYC and i know they updated the towers here so 4G works on GSM1900, but having that WCDMA 1700 would be best. I guess there are other things T-mobile does to tweak the network i guess on the build.prop or whatever? not sure? any ways, any inout would be greatl appreciated,
just so anyone is confused. this was super easy to do to completely restore to a factory phone.
I was on TWRP w/ ARHD 22 ROM, unlocked bootloaded thru htcdev, S-On. here is all i had to do to flash this (super simple)
fire up fastboot on phone
verify fastboot via cmd (fastboot devices)
enter fastboot oem lock
phone reboots and i now have **Tampered** **Relocked** on bootloader
leave phone in fastboot and run the RUU file and 10 min later
factory phone
thanks all for posting this, I'll be re-rooting and flashing custom recovery soon but so nice to have wifi calling back.
I keep getting an Error 155. I've googled around and I can't seem to find anything that works. At my wits end here. Anyone?
I used this today and having trouble unlocking the boot loader. Do I need to get a new code?

Have you are anyone tested the relock? Frrom what I remember on previous ones I thought you could not relock like the nexus one.
But basically relock then flash these thru bootloader and you are back to the way has came out the box?

Sorry for sounding like a n00b and redundancy but just wanted to make sure I understand this right before I make any changes on device.
The relocker posted by xboarder and binary, does that completely reverse the HTC bootloader unlock done the HTC dev site?
Assuming it does, that does mean we can get the regular updates to device again?

You need S-OFF to flash this. This zip is flashed through HBOOT. Do not flash it in recovery. I assume no responsibility for any damage done by using this file.
It will work for any HTC Amaze on any carrier as long as you have S-OFF and SuperCID (check the stickies for instructions on how to get these things). I have removed the HBOOT and Recovery from the leaked ICS Rom football posted. That is the only modification to this rom, otherwise it is completely stock and contains all other parts of the update. I think it is a better alternative for anyone with S-OFF because they don't have to reflash recovery and HBOOT after flashing.

S-OFF/SuperCID/ENGHBOOT on a Wind Amaze here, get a Fail-PU (106) on the NFC file mentioned also, just FYI
*See Below*
Forgot to mention that the new HBOOT is necessary to flash the nfc update, as far as I can tell the juopunutbear HBOOT and the ENG HBOOT do not understand it, which is why it reboots after installing the new bootloader and before flashing nfc. nfc seems to work fine without it. Will add to original post. Also gonna repost with it ripped out as well so it doesn't throw an error, even though it doesn't matter.

Can't confirm NFC as yet, but even with a 'partition error' after flashing on the ENG HBOOT, the ROM functions perfectly. You can root just by flashing the usual SU.zip.
Thanks for the good work!
Isnt SuperSID just for if you are on another carrier? IE: If I have a T-Mobile Amaze all I need is S-Off?
Since this is basically a stock ROM, I assume that everything works fine with it?
EDIT: I always get confused too; hboot is the same thing as the stock bootloader right? Hold power + volume down?

You shouldn't need SuperCID on the T-Mobile one really, but if you run into issues it doesn't hurt to have it on there. Plus if Wind get 4.0.4 with Sense 4.0, you won't have to be jelly
HBOOT is the white screen, so yeah the stock bootloader. An ENG (Engineering) one unlocks more and allows you to send a wider variety of commands

I'm not 100% but since I have modified the file (presumably breaking it's signature) I do not believe it will flash with S-ON. None of the files inside are modified, some are just removed, but the file itself is modified by those removals. As far as I know if even one byte of this file is changed it will not flash with S-ON. If someone would be willing to test with S-ON then I will update my post if necessary, I have no way to test personally. I do not expect it to work but it is definitely a possibility. If it does work, it will only work a T-Mobile Amaze. If it will not work, it will not damage your phone. It will fail a signature check before it installs anything. If it does not fail that signature check then the entire thing will flash as it is verified in it's entirety at the beginning of the process.

The reason that it says partition error is because nfc flashes to a partition and it fails. This is why it still works fine even with such a seemingly menacing error. I have ripped it out until I can figure out what I talk about in my first post. No one should receive any error now.

This might sound stupid, but your objective here really is to get stockish, correct? With your HBoot you could use this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154
Just make sure to flash boot.img afterwards via fastboot. This is as close to pure stock (only root added) as you can get without S-Off or other trickery. It should suffice for the requirements of the OP.

I've been trying to deal with this problem over in the liquidsmooth thread, but it's clear now that my problems are not related specifically to the rom and that thread isn't really the place for it.
I've lost all cell connectivity. Calls, texts, data, everything. The liquid rom had been working for me for over a week. I've reverted to previous roms both with new flashes and using restore files. I've tried a different recovery. Every time, it acts like I don't have a sim card.
I was suspecting that my sim might be bad, but back on the liquidsmooth thread, it was suggested that I need to RUU back to stock and start over. I'd be willing to do that except the only way suggested was really complicated. I'm S-on and it included ubuntu and the wire trick to get s-off, which I'm hesitant to do. I searched and found another thread with instructions to run an RUU while still s-on, and it seems like it would have worked except that my hboot is newer than the RUU used, and I've been unable to find a newer one.
I tried flashing the stock rom above and flashing the stock recovery that I had from when I first rooted several months ago. It still thinks I don't have a sim card, but otherwise it booted fine until I re-locked to bootloader. Then it wouldn't boot anymore. I guess it still knows that those versions of hboot, the recovery, and the rom don't quite go together.
Is there an RUU that will work with hboot 2.28 to "un-root" my phone without downloading a second operating system and performing surgery on my phone? Are the correct stock rom and recovery out there that I can flash and re-lock? Is there a way to know if that is actually the problem if if it is just my sim card? Are there any other ideas to get my phone functioning again?
Please help!

Sorry, I missed that part of the question. We did it pretty quick, but I think I did put the battery cover. Also, it's not just getting no signal, there is an icon in the notification bar and a big message on the lock screen says I have no sim card at all. That has never happened before, even with the battery cover off. As I look back I realize I failed to mention that important detail. I guess it still couldn't hurt to try a brand new sim card before taking the plunge into s-off. Even if that isn't the problem, at least I'll know for sure, and as you pointed out, its easy and free.

There is no RUU for either 3.16 or 3.17. If you were S-off you could use Viperboy's VipeRUU tool, which will put you back totally stock. Captain Throwback posted a link somewhere around here regarding how to go back to stock. If I find it I'll post it up for you. In the meantime, the easiest thing for you to do would be to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery so that you have a working phone.

I actually did, but I don't have a data connection. The manager at the Sprint Store (who is actually a good friend of mine) said it won't activate data unless I'm on a stock ROM and can use the "activate this device" function under "phone info". Not sure if he's correct on that, but I can't get data, and need to go back to stock to see if it works...
Then flash one of Captain Throwback's stock rooted ROM's. You do not have to be "stock" to get your phone working again-you just need a Sense ROM.

which leads me back to my original question... can I flash a stock rom using TWRP if I am S-on?

easy as pie! Once I installed the stock ROM and activated the device I had 4G right away. Did a nandroid, reinstalled Mean, then reinstalled from my Mean back up and now I'm cooking with fire. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
FWIW - My friend was partially right, you do have to be on a stock ROM to reactivate data service, but you DO NOT need to unroot.
To piggy back off this, I'm planning to turn in my EVO 4G and move onto the Sprint One Up program...if I'm rooted on CM10.2 (still S-ON) though...how much effort do I need to put in for Sprint to accept my phone?

From what I have read some people have returned phones with them being rooted/unlocked and multiple roms and there has not been a issue. I guess worst they can say is no. Then go home return it to stock and try again.
Or just return to stock and take it in.
My purpose for the Original thread was I am going to sell mine and I just wanted to sell it stock. I sold my first Android Hero way back and it had been rooted and flashed and the person I sold it to had issues getting it activated through sprint. They sent it back to me for refund and I returned it to stock and sold it like that and the person who bought it was a ex sprint employee and he was upset I flashed it back to stock saying the person should have and zero issues activating it. Now he had to root and flash it himself. I just find it easier to return it to stock myself and sell it,
Then I know no matter if a basic or advanced user buys it they can activate it.
Hope that helps
Hey all,
I am looking to sell my Evo 4g lte because sprint really messed things up but that is neither here nor there. I would like to return it to stock for ease of selling it. can i do this without having a stock rooted rom and if possible can i run the updates to get the phone current for the next user? IF one of you want the rooted phone pm me i am up for anything.
Phone has MEAN BEAN rom on it and is s-off h boot 1.12.2222 radio 1.12.11.1210
thanks

Hit the top link in my sig and go to the section on RUU's. At the bottom of the first post I have links to all applicable RUU's for the EVO LTE. Easiest thing would be to run one of them if you want to get back to stock. If you want to go back to being S-on and stock, use VipeRUU.

Thanks Magnum
Using the VipeRUU was supper easy and quick. Back to stock off to sell.:good:
Not a problem. Just remember that the RUU is run from your computer. Connect your phone and PC via USB cable, and once the connection is complete double-click the RUU file to start the installer. You may need to install HTC Sync so that you have the proper drivers installed on your computer. It takes about 10-15 minutes for the RUU to run, so be patient. VipeRUU is a little bit different. When you double-click the file to start the process, it will bring up a menu with options in it for you to choose from. It's pretty straightforward, though.
I've run VipeRUU a few times, but the bootloader stays unlocked. Anyone have any suggestions to get it back to a "Locked" state? I'm S-OFF, HBOOT 2.09.

That would just make it show "Relocked", though, right?

I don't believe that will work being S-off (I've tried it before just for kicks and it didn't do anything). Even if it did, the bootloader would show the tampered and unlocked warning.
