Hi all, recently I installed Insertcoin on my Desire and I have noticed a few bugs that I can't have on a daily driver. Now I would like to take it back to stock KitKat. It is S-off, bootloader unlocked and has TWRP installed. What all do I need to do before I use the RUU to return it to stock.

Just got my rezound today, experienced flasher, but with s-off phones.
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the phone and installed the amon-ra custom recovery, from what I've read it seems to be the most popular for this phone, if another one is better please let me know.
But the flashing of custom roms has me a little confused and I couldn't find a good guide to do it, what I want to do is keep my gb bootloader, so I can get s-off when it comes out and install a fairly stock rooted rom based on the ICS OTA with wireless tether capability
Is BAMF Rezound ICS v2.1 Official based on the OTA, I'm not familair with rezound firmware history, if not which are and what steps do I have to take to install it.
I read something about bootloops if you don't install a fix.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide
BAMF ICS 2.1 is a good stable option for a custom ICS rom. Its very stable and fluid and fairly close to stock ICS with Sense 3.6. It has a few tweaks Joel threw it but all the core components are there. As a far as keeping the same bootloader that you mentioned there is a patch in that thread that has to be flashed since you are not gonna be on the lastest HBoot or firmware. Just make sure to flash the kernel since we don't have S-Off.
Hey Guys,
my friend gave me his EVO to update it. It's fully unlocked with S-OFF, but there's one problem. Once I've flashed any JB ROM like Slim or Carbon phone reboots after installation and goes into bootloop. I think there's a problem with kernel but I can't find any compatible. Can you help me?
EDIT: It isn't kernel problem (I've tired to flash boot.img after installation with no progress)
make sure your hboot is 1.49.0007. you can get it here
if it still doesn't boot then maybe the phone is running on an older firmware. you can get new firmware from here
Hi All,
Been an Android guy since the G1, but that was also the last time I had anything HTC. Picked up a One yesterday and I'm so happy to be back.
Did a bunch of reading before getting the phone. I wanted to make sure I didn't do anything irreversible. Before I received the phone, I'd read that you couldn't get S-Off with 1.27.531.11, as they'd patched the HBOOT (even though it's still 1.44.) So once I got the phone and confirmed it was on 1.27.531.11, I performed my first step:
1. Downgraded from 1.27.531.11 to 1.27.531.8.
Next:
2. Unlocked using htcdev
3. Flashed TWRP as recovery
4. Installed Android Revolution HD 4.0 Google Edition
All went smoothly! Because I had no issues with this, I decided it was worth it to push on and get S-Off and SuperCID. I read Vomer's guide many times over, and was about to get rolling with revone, when I found another guide ([GUIDE] PRE-S-OFF - IMPORTANT INFO - Read Before Going To S-OFF Threads!) which contained the following:
You are on or flash a STOCK Sense 5, Android 4.1 ROM! (NOTE: 4.2 Software may be OK however for your best chances use the oldest you possibly can!!
But as a result of #4, I'm now on a GPE 4.3 Rom. This gave me pause.
So, two (and a half!) questions really:
1. Should I flash back to a 4.1 or 4.2 rom prior to trying to get S-Off through revone? If so, what rom should I use? My best guess, if this is necessary is Team Nocturnal's Stock Rooted 1.27.531.8
2. Is there anything else flashing Android Revolution HD 4.0 might have done that would cause problems when trying to use revone to get S-Off? I still have Hboot 1.44, and I don't *think* flashing that rom would have somehow made this the patched version present in 1.27.531.11, but I just want to be sure of what I'm doing. (That question sounds so noobish! But better safe than sorry, I'm thinking.)
Thanks in advance, guys. Really didn't have a great community around my last phone, and I'm psyched to be back amongst a big group of tinkerers.
And from that same guide:
Are not using a GE ROM, 4.3 Rom or on stock 4.3 software
So it definitely seems like I should flash something older first. Just want to confirm what would be best (and make sure there's nothing else I need to do as well prior to using revone.)
All set. S-Off and SuperCID achieved.
For anyone who finds this thread down the road:
As long as you've downgraded to 1.27.531.8, just make sure you're on a 4.2.2 or earlier rom. Multiple reports of revone not working with 4.3 roms. You're on an older rom after doing the downgrade, so if you don't flash anything after that, you're ready to use revone.
Thank you for the info! I had wondered the same thing!

I just unlocked my bootloader, rooted and flashed 4ext recovery. i want to install a custom rom but i have no idea on what one i should do. What would be the best(most stable) rom for this device. In bootloader i am seeing UNLOCKED hboot-1.58.000 S-ON. I kinda like the Cyanogenmod, however i read in these forums if i install 12.1 i will not have a camera and i need the camera. Any advice on what rom i should use?
Guess i am going to have to do the wire trick and get s-off to change hboot version to install any of the compatible roms?
Hello.
I recently got an M8 to use as a media player.
I has twrp already installed and currently have firmware version 4.28.502.2, Android 5.0.2
I read that the most current ATT firmware included Android 6.x. So i've been looking into returning to stock.
1) Do i need to have S-OFF to return to stock?
2) Do i need to relock my bootloader to return to stock?
I downloaded RUU from the HTC site. It detects my phone but can't connect after it reboots the phone.
I've been looking a lot of forums and it seems like i need to get S-OFF to do anything and that means paying $25 to sunshine.
I just want to make sure I'm correct and I'm not missing anything.
Thank you

Why not just install a custom ROM? You have access to more apps on the latest android and smoother performance
