Hey all,
so I've been running ARHD on firmware 127.538.8 for awhile. I saw the RUU come out for 4.3 on Tmob, so obviously I was all like, **** yeah! So I flashed a stock ROM (based on 127.538.11) and then tried to run the RUU. Unlocked, S-OFF. For some reason, the RUU flashed Hboot (I'm currently stuck at 1.55.00) and then decided to throw an error 155 at me. So I tried relocking the bootloader, with a command I found browsing the forums that sets the status to Locked. Flashing the RUU here didn't work either. Re-unlocked the bootloader (I have no user data at all... it's sad). I realized, okay, I'm Unlocked and have a custom recovery installed (TWRP). Even if I relock, the RUU doesn't flash. My idea right now is to flash the 127.538.11 RUU to get Hboot 1.44, as well as a working non-hacked firmware. I'm not sure if that RUU will work, though I'm hoping it does. If it does, then I can OTA update without a problem.
Do any of you have any ideas as to how to do this? I can RUU to 127.538.11, then downgrade to x.8 and use revone to lock my bootloader and attempt an OTA. I'm not sure what to do here... I can also reflash ARHD 30 and stick with that for awhile. I can do basically anything recommended, as I have S-OFF and TWRP.
Thanks!
I don't mind being stuck on stock, however I do want to be able to warranty my phone in the future -- will having hboot 1.55.00 with 127.538.8 firmware be a problem? Can I downgrade my hboot since I'm S-Off? Any help here would be absolutely wonderful...

So the latest update totally screwed up my stock evo. Sprint was super unhelpful in trying to replace it, so instead of waiting for them I rooted the phone and installed MeanRom. Now I have an unlocked rooted evo with hboot 1.19. It still have a lot of freezing and rebooting problems so I'd like to return it to Sprint for a new unit. I hear that trying to downgrade using an older RUU with hboot 1.19 will brick the phone. Is there a safe way of returning my evo to stock so that Sprint takes it back? Thank you for helping this noob out.
Did you do a NANDROID backup before flashing the ROM? If so, start by restoring your phone to it's previous state.
You cant downgrade. It wont brick it, it just wont work
Relock the bootloader and flasht the 1.19 RUU. Thats your only option for unrooting

Thanks, this is what I'd like to do. Is there a 1.19 RUU around yet? Does anyone have a link?
I think my wife's Rezound is starting to have issues. It is randomly freezing and you need to power it off and on for it to come back. Even happened right after a clean flash while in the setup screens.
I do have ICS on it and my bootloader is unlocked and I am s-off. What are the steps needed before sending it back to Verizon and has anyone had any issues when sending the device back after re-locking it?
I looked for a thread on this but had no luck on a step by step process......
Appreciate the help in advance.
Reflash the factory RUU and then revert to S-ON. If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to relock it before you flash the RUU.

Where can we get the latest update RUU? Does it need to be flashed in the bootlader screen? How does one get back to S-ON?
So step one is to relock the bootloader which I know can be done with the tool.
Then flash the RUU, (waiting for correct way)
Then back to S-On (waiting on instructions how)
i'll help
Are you unlocked or locked?
You are s-off right?
What is you're hboot? is it modified?
I am unlocked
I am s-off
Not sure which hboot I am on. Can't get my wife's phone right now. I am not on the latest hboot I don't think but the one right before it.
As far as it being modified, was that something it asked when doing the s-off? If yes, then I believe I did it. Can no for sure tomorrow when I check the device.
Relock with the toolkit or with "fastboot oem lock"

Do it in that order
Search is your friend.
Also, when you S-OFF, it will relock your bootloader. You do not need to unlock it again. S-OFF > unlock.
I upgrade to latest firmware and hboot for the international 4.2.2 ROM. Everything works fine.
Now, the OTA arrived and in order to apply OTA for enabling new LTE band, I need to go back to stock. So, i download the stock ROM and flash. After boot up, touch screen doesn't work.
I tried to revert it back to 1.4.4 hboot/firmware (not AT&T i think). Still doesn't work. Anyone know where I can get the stock firmware and applied? Try to avoid the full RUU if possible.
Thanks.
I haven't seen anyone post a AT&T firmware flashable zip. Most likely they stayed on stock firmware that came with the phone, like me, or they updated to 2.24 firmware.
RUU might be your only choice. But in order to RUU, you need the 1.44 HBOOT. If you're S-OFF, flash the 1.44 HBOOT first then run the RUU. If you're S-ON, you're stuck. RUU won't run because it can't bypass the security check of S-ON.

You are right. I have to use RUU to roll back to stock. At least, I got S-OFF to get back. Now, when checking update, didn't give me anything yet.
I flashed CM 10.2 and it freaked out my radio. I flashed probably 10 different roms to try and fix it but nothing worked. I eventually flashed the stock rom, radio, hboot and recovery from the Team CYANFOX guys signature to get RUU to work but had to relock the bootloader. Now I am relocked with S-off. I have tried to using the HTC dev method and moonshine but nothing is working. How can I either start from scratch or get unlocked again? I have been at this for nine hours with zero progress. Any help would be much appreciated.
I flashed the modded hboot below and was able to flash TWRP. Still says relocked but I don't care. My phone is back!

Hi,
I have HTC One International Version (O2 Germany) I have S-Off it and rooted it, Now I want to revert it and want OTA to work. I am unable to get any OTA notification as it always says there is no update for your phone even though its on 4.3. Due to S-Off it always says that you are having a test device. Resetting it didn't help. I don't have RUU for CID O2___102. Now should I flash a boot file on it to gain S-On, if yes then which one. The Hboot is 2.46.00. Will after getting S-On the OTA will be available to get installed?
PS: The bootloader is Relocked. I guess the right Stock Recovery is installed. Although I think the kernel is messed up as it is showing 3.4.10 on v4.3 (image attached)
This is Bootloader info:
-OS-1.23.1540.1
radio -4T.21.3218.04
CID O2___102
-T6UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
-hboot-2.46.0000
Thanks

Edit:
Although I have been searching for it for many days, the only option I think I am coming across is getting boot.img from virtuous rom and update my boot which will also update the hboot. Although I am not sure if this is possible solution. Just want an opinion before updating the hboot as it wont be downgraded later.
Edit 2: Installing boot for 1.54 (stock and also from Stock Nandroid) or from virtuous rom with S-Off *Unlocked* is not making any difference or update to the boot. Its still the same.
i have t6ul cid htc_001 uk international

S On is not a problem for me the now reverting to stoack while having OTA is a main pain. I am not getting OTA while having soff and all the info provided above.
I started getting OTA 4.4.2 when I made Super CID and installed RUU_T6_UL_JB43_SENSE55_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.23.1540.1_Radio_4T.21.3218.04_10.15.1718.01_release_337609_signed_2.exe
The problem was when the OTA gets downloaded and then it varify the system update conditions before installing, it give back error of some manipulated system etc.
why did you super cid? what cid is it now. can you put back to original cid?
device has to be completely stock to run ota.
unrooted. (only way i could get unrooted was to format system then restore my 4.3 backup, and flash stock recovery and lockbootloader.
only then would ota work.
restore your original cid, get a backup from your region and restore.
if your cid was o2_102 then can you change it to htc_102. then it may run ota fine.
i have a cwm backup of my t6ul international from vodafone uk if you want it to try.
instal latest cwm recovery. think its 6.0.4.7
make a backup of you current rom first. then download my backup here and uncompress to external sdcard https://www.dropbox.com/s/pj9mds5lalg84lu/clockworkmodbackup.rar
format your system, data, and restore my cwm backup.
boot device once and run setup wizard.
flash stock recovery and lock bootloader by scotty123's method (NOT RE-LOCK, ota will not work)
now ota should work.
this has helped many others
I got OTA. Restoring the cwm backup as I already have this file with me through cwm recovery then installed stcok recovery, relocked and it worked while having Super CID. the only thing is even after update and hboot update it remained S Off. The S On I want to have because IF I need to return it for warranty issues, how I will be able to get S On again.
PS: I had to change CID to make it Super CID to get the cwm backup installed and OTA working. Which I reverted back after installation.
