How to gain S-OFF ? (rare situation) - AT&T HTC One (M7)

hello guys i have a question i bought an HTC One M7 from At&T (i bought it on internet) im currently using another carrier because is factory unlocked, but when they gave it to me the phone was runing a custom rom (insterkoin 4.4.2) i really dont like the roms i preffer the stock ones with no root and everything as it is, so i found out that the Phone has the bootloader unlocked, rooted, but is still S-ON and it has H.Boot 1.55 so i dont know how do they installed a custom ROM, pretty much my question is, how do i restore my phone to Fully stock, and i understand that i need to gain s-off in order to get back to stock, so how can i do it ? if you guys please can help me i will appreciate it thank you in advanced!

You don't need s-off to install a custom rom in many cases. It just has to be unlocked via HTC dev. Look around and you should find the post with instructions for returning to stock 4.3.

you have to relock the bootloader before you began the update.

[Q]What kind of system I am using?

Hi all,
I got a HTC Flyer P512.
It is running a Eng build Honeycomb rom I guess.
Since it is not so stable and not localized to my place, I would like to flash it with a stock rom image.
But before that, I would like to know more about that since I am not not so familiar with that.
1. I see that my flyer is Eng S-Off, will it turn to Ship S-ON if I flash a stock rom for that?
2. If I make a full backup for that? Can all the things be able to restore back (include Eng S-OFF and rooted Eng build system) by that, and how?
Thanks for that.
I have little experience on handling Xoom but HBoot and RUU in flyer is new to me.
Start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362639
and do some reading. Information is available for all your questions.
We didn't make a YouTube video because we are all so ugly the cameras cracked.
Thanks for your quick response.
I read the thread before.
According to this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18508220&postcount=2
I found that my cidnum is 11111111
Which is not mentioned. However after I do some research, I found that it is a superCID.
Does it mean that My machine is S-OFF in permanently and can be able to flash any rom I want, and such kind of cid can not be changed by software in anyway?
Thanks!
OK, that's a new one to me. I recommend you contact Globaltron on the forum here and ask him. He's the expert on models, boot, etc.
That appears to be a US model, so you would have to flash a US RUU to return to stock if that is the case. Not sure what the effect of having Eng S-OFF is . If you do successfully flash a stock RUU it will return you to S-ON, locked. Then you have to go through the process to obtain S-OFF again
Thanks again!
My Flyer is got from Google ADL last year.
It is running an eng build Android 3.2 with testkey.
Therefore I am wondering if that is a engineering machine without any flashing limitation.
Thank you again.

If you saw my post on general subforum, you may noticed we have same flyer model. Which from contacting with Globaltron is Prerelease Engineering Model of Htc Flyer.
I also get the cid: 11111111 from my device.
I'm trying to install a stock wwe rom now and see what will happen.
Thanks or your reply.
I use RUU to updae my flyer to HK wifi room.
It works!
It turns from ENG S-OFF to SHIP S-OFF.
Cid remains 11111111
That is expected, you had ENG not SHIP s-off. Run revolutionary to get S-OFF again.

[Q] I badly need help - Please give thread a read - HBOOT, S-OFF question

Hi guys
Sorry if this has been already answered. I tried to search for solution many times and asked in threads of ROM but people give very vague answer. I don't want to risk losing my device and want to stick with easy rooting.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://androidforums.com/evo-3d-all-things-root/494212-complete-newbies-guide-rooting-flashing-evo-3d-roms-kernels-using-fastboot.html. I installed everything but didn't do S-OFF. One thing I'd like to share is that I did unlocking through HTCdev and also that I run Rogers phone. Currently I'm using kingcobra 2.4 ROM.
So now I wanted to install ICS but I need to install new firmware. I tried to revert back to stock ROM and do ICS update but it'd stop at HTC screen and same thing happened when I tried to install ICS rom.
So I need to install this new firmware for sure, but I have S-ON I think. Now things I need to know and perform I believe are:
S-Off
Install new firmware
-------
Now do I have to do RUU update as well? If so, where do I do that and how do I know what RUU I am running? Also I'm running HBOOT 1.49.0008 because I did unlocking through HTCdev
-------
If I wanted to simply use the Rogers ICS update, how can I get it? Do I still need to S-Off? I did full back up. Please explain very clearly.
you want to go back to stock so you can install the OTA / official ICS rom?
You can dl the RUU from the htc website. Rename it to PC86IMG.zip and let it install in bootloader
Whats the link for it please? I am on Rogers evo 3d
Also I think i have the base RUU?
The only rom I installed had this:
"
Base: Rogers RUU 1.20.631.2 HTC EVO 3D (Shooter U GSM)
Android Version: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Kernel: Your choice:
"
I chose original kernel, meaning not installing any. I don't think I need stock ruu now do I?
If someone can find me an easy S-off tutorial, I would be more happy to do that and stick with rooting.
I have spent too much time trying to find a way to update to ICS and I am regretting to root my phone now =[ I can't get ICS either way...
go to htcdev, enter your info and they'll let you dl the ruu for your phone.
i used s-off wire trick , try that for hboot 1.5

Getting back to Stock Rom(need some advice)

Hello there.
I could use some help with going back to stock rom for GSM version of 3D.
I now have Hboot 1.53.0007, CWM Recovery Installed, it's rooted, and now stuck on Viper rom 1.0 version. And, it now has CID 001, because I wanted to put some custom, but I was afraid of getting bricked.
My friend wants to have all the 3D functions, and I would like to revert back to stock.
So, if I download the original Shooter_U Europe version rom, ICS, can I just do these steps of reverting back? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262457
And do I need to relock the bootloader to do this?
I don't need warranty or things like that.
Waiting for some advice, thank you.
Relock bootloader and run RUU exe from pc. way easier than this

If it is only for 3D functions , u don`t need to use the ( bad ) stock rom cause it is poor in performance , u can use the custom roms in the forum with no bugs , like CoolICS and mwakious

s-off

Hi
I am new to the forums and read the forum post, i needed to in devs for this. However since I cannot actually post there and get some help until i get 10 posts, I thought I might post here. I am completely lost in these forums hehe
Anyway to the point.
I have a European HTC One S (S4) sim is unlocked, bootloader unlocked and rooted phone. It shows on bootloader screen tampered and unlocked.
However my hboot is 1.15.0000
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
The reason I wanted to get s-off is so i can download and install the latest 4.2.2 sense 5 update, but apparently cannot with s-on? I actually thought it didn't matter if it was on or off, most roms can be flashed regardless as long as bootloader and is rooted?
Basically, I need some advice / help for a newbie to allow me to achieve s-off with all the above done (i guess the chance for bricking is really small compared to when rooting?). I really do not want to brick my phone, and I have no idea about supercid or whether its even needed on the european models, since there does appear to be differences in the software.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me
Any help would be appreciated.
