I recently converted my HTC One M8 (AT&T) to GPE. I was just wondering what would happen if I did a factory reset? Would it restore back to Sense? Also, would restoring to factory unroot my phone or turn S-On.

If you did a factory reset it would wipe everything and it would boot a fresh GPE if you are fully converted.
No it would not restore back to Sense
Factory reset will have no affect towards you being S-ON/S-OFF

How do I know if I'm fully converted? Also, do I ever have to worry about S-Off turning back on?

You would had to have run the GPE RUU.
If your bootloader screen is black, you are fully converted. White bootloader screen means you are on Sense recovery and partitioning, just running a GPE ROM.

No, it will only turn back to s-on if you do so intentionally and manually.

Thank you so much! I just have one more question thats a bit unrelated but hopefully you can answer it. When I go to camera, it says "Please insert SD Card before using the camera." How can I fix this?

You ask cause you have one in the phone I assume.
Is the sdcard seen elsewhere with the device ?
Try formatting it using the phone from storage settings

It asks cause it gives the option to save to an inserted external sdcard.if you had one and chose to save to it than you probably wouldn't see the message again.
Nevermind, I got it working. I just redid the whole process. Thanks again.

I need help. Normally I never ask questions I perfer to scan the forum looking for answers but this is my first question.
So we all know by now there is a leaked ICS Rom for the HTC Amaze. Well I downloaded the RUU put it at the root of the external SD and loaded it in hboot. Hboot starts the normal routine of looking for images to flash and dismissing all the missing ones. When it comes to PH85IMG it will stop the sidebar will take a minute to slowly load to full and the following result would say:
Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!
then it will finish the routine and essentually dismiss. After that all I can do is return to normal use
Phone info:
T-mobile HTC Amaze 4G rooted S-ON
Android 2.3.7/ Sense 3.5
Faux's v009 Kernal
thanks kindly for the help developers.

I think the only way for someone S-on to install this update is to return the phone back to stock. you have to revert your bootloader back to locked and make the phone stock again.
In that case I guess it's about time to reach S-OFF. To those reading I'll give the result.

I just went through the whole s-off procedure and was able to flash the image after that. I didn't revert back to stock. I guess that was my problem too, but everything is working fine with ICS so far.
I relocked the bootloader and was able to get ICS.
kinda sad though im about to root it just to get rid of the bloat apps . Umm I hope others can use this as guide.
Please help!!! cannot flash ics rue
Hey! I have a similar problem. I have relocked the boot loader, NO root, S-ON... basically the only thing I did was unlocking and relocking the bootloader.
I copied the zip file in the ext-sd folder. In Hboot mode it scans the sdcard but a "NO image or wrong zip image" appears... So I reboot normally....
Now a strange thing happens and the zip file i copied onto the sdcard is 0Kb!!!! I tried several times... can sameone help me?
BTW I have a external sd card intalled (actually is one form another phone formatted as fat 32) + the internal memory.
thanks!

Make sure the zip you have is good and make sure the SD card is good. strange that you place a 487mb file and it changes to 0kb on its own. try formatting the
SD and try again or try using a different one.
I would re-copy the zip to your sd card again.

I purchased a Rezound from eBay and it's locked with a gesture lock. The seller told me to do a factory reset, which I did a couple of times, and it doesn't reset the phone to the new activation screen. It looks like he rooted the phone at one point. The recovery screen says "Tampered," "Relocked," and "VIGOR PVT SHIP S-ON RL."
My question is, how do I get past the gesture lock? Will rooting and flashing a different rom do the trick? I am obviously a newbie, and likely wouldn't have rooted it and installed a custom rom if I didn't have to, but it seems like I may have to at this point. Thanks!

Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is if all it needed was to have a factory reset done why didn't the seller do just that and avoid the hassle? Kinda like when you look at a car and all it needs for the AC to work is a recharge..yeah I've been bit by that one before too.
Glad you got it working..youll enjoy being rooted
Looks like it isn't entirely right. I took it to Verizon to get it activated, and I have data connectivity but cannot call or text at all. The software version is 4.0.3 Android with 3.6 Sense. I am going to try to restore the factory version (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338916) and hope that does the trick. Otherwise, I guess there's something wrong and I have to return the phone to the seller.

Download that file, rename it PH98IMG.ZIP and make sure it isn't named PH98IMG.ZIP.ZIP and then put that on the root of the actual SD Card. Not the internal memory.
Reboot into hboot, and it will find that file and load it. You will have to chose volume + to accept. It will flash bootloader first, then the radios and rom and such. After this has flashed and booted, delete the PH98IMG.ZIP file from your sd card, and then reboot into hboot and chose factory reset. Let it do its thing, and try a phone call or text on reboot.
should be good to go after this.
I downloaded the file, put it in the root directory of the sd card, and booted into hboot. It says "Loading PH98IMG.zip" for a few minutes, then goes back to the hboot screen. I then powered down, removed SD card, and tried to factory reset. The phone entered the Android system recovery. I rebooted, and the phone seemed exactly the same. I'll retry, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Update: I've retried a few times, and it just seems that hboot won't load PH98IMG.zip. Might it matter that I'm still at S-ON?

Try redownloading again might have been a bad download. Remember once the file starts to flash it might shut off and turn on and continue doing its thing just make sure when it's all done every item says "ok" next to it if it does your good to go next just make sure you go into bootloader do a factory reset.

Try formatting the card in the phone. Backup your data first.

I guess at this point, you might as well run the RUU. Not that big of a deal. DON'T unlock the bootloader, you're s-off, right? So put the RUU named ph98img on the SD card and let it go. Also, go ahead and do a factory reset before you put AmonRA on.....

I'm pretty sure to you have to lock the bootloader to run the RUU. Maybe someone else can chime in here.... Or you could try...
If you lock it...don't unlock again... NO need to be unlocked if s-off.
AFter you flash the RUU, boot into hboot and do a factory reset with the stock recovery....then go ahead and flash Amon.

What type of file are you looking for, and what are you trying to do?
PG05IMG.zip (the third character from the left is a zero, not an uppercase letter) is the name you can give to files you intend to install through the bootloader. In order for the bootloader to find the PG05IMG.zip file on your SD card, the file must be placed on the root of the SD card, and not in a folder. I'm not sure what you're trying to install, or what caused your bootloop, but if you provide more information, you're much more likely to get replies with help specific to your problem.

I think an important detail you provided earlier has been overlooked; you CANNOT change radios while you are s-on. While your thunderbolt is s-on, the partition containing the currently installed radios is WRITE PROTECTED. Based on what you've said, I'm still not sure how your bootloop happened, or whether you are htcdev unlocked, have a temp root otherwise, or are unrooted and s-on. I'm not sure which firmware version you currently have installed either (it's been a long time) based on the version of hboot you posted above, but the thread below would be a great place to go if you're looking to obtain s-off and install new radios:

Do you have root? If not, are you running stock ICS? How did the bootloop originally happen? Are you trying to gain root and s-off to get your phone going again? If you're s-on and running the stock ICS update from April, the process to gain s-off will be complicated. You'll have to visit HTCdev, and get an unlock token, and download/install several files. Any additional details you can provide about your current software version, root status, cause of bootloop, etc. Will be useful to myself and other members of our community here in pointing you in the right direction. Software issues are recoverable, hardware issues, however, are not, that's why it's important to explain what went wrong and how it happened if there was a cause you can identify.

That's a bad situation. I would ask the owner/previous owner what happened before going any further. The lock screen password isn't a big deal. A factory data wipe, or installing the downgrade RUU will remove previously configured device security (you will lose data not stored to SD card or the cloud, with either course of action, be warned). You may already know this, but you have to check the box next to USB debugging in the developer options section of the phone settings menu in order for it to work, it won't turn on by default.

Not sure what you mean, but, you can do a factory data wipe from there. That should help you to bypass the lock screen if you can get the ROM to boot.

hey i have totally gotten it to work i did the factory reset and set it up to my personalization. what i have to do though is let it charge while i sleep and when the notification light is green i unplug it then it works completely fine it bootloops for a little then works completely fine
now i did get the 2.11 605.29, whatever that is and saw that the ics update is here but i have no sim card and want that update should i get it and how do i if i should?
I have no service ever since this morning after flashing a new rom. I have tried to flash other roms and restart the phone. No dice. It just says searching for service. I am currently running ReVolt rom. Any fixes?

Do I need to relock the bootloader?
Bad Sim card? Maybe the flashing corrupted the sim. Try to eject the sim and insert again.

Hers: LG Optimus G

No. Assuming it's not a SIM card issue, you won't need to relock. Just reload. Be sure to wipe EVERYTHING.
You can do a Titanium Backup and MIGHT be able to restore your apps (and their individual data) later. NO system data restore at all.
