If I am running a gpe rom and got there by ruuing, can I just run a sense ruu to get back to sense? I've found some guides on how to go back and forth but none state you can just ruu back.
I am bootloader unlocked and s-off... I would think I could just run a ruu.

You need to change back to AT&T CID (or SuperCID is also okay) and MID in order to run the AT&T RUU.
You might be able to just return to Sense by running the RUU. But some folks have had to flash the Sense firmware manually first, then flash the RUU.

I've changed Cid before bit never mid. I just figured that the ruu could correctly partition everything and convert the firmware.

Theres a thread on how to change mid's somewhere..I'll grab you the link.

Is it possible to go back to complete stock if we have s-off? If so, where would I find the instructions and files to do so?

Download the ruu. Put it on the root of your sd card. Reboot into bootloader. Done.
If you were wanting to make it ready for warranty exchange, you may want to change the glaring S-Off flag back to S-On too.
Some say they get by with S-Off, some would rather not risk the rare possibility of a VZW rep or HTC actually saying your warranty is void due to tampering.

So is it possible now with s-off to go back to an htc (non leaked) gb rom?

Do you have a link to the stock ROM. Not a debloated Stock ROM.

So did you just S-off, relock, flash a stock RUU, S-on, and return it?

Basically, minus step two. Note that the S-off procedure toggles your bootloader to Locked too.
You should also flash a JuopunutBear hboot after S-off instead of running HTCDev Unlock again to gain your Fastboot commands functionality. Plus PH98IMG files will work on a Locked stock bootloader anyway.
*If* you unlock, then you will be flagged as "Unlocked" in the bootloader, and flagged "Relocked" after locking it back up. Both indicate tampering; warranty becomes a concern.
Only way to show the stock "Locked" flag again is to cycle back through all those steps to process the bootloader flag back inside S-off's magic.
Just sayin', no good reason to Unlock after S-off. But nobody has ever been charged for Unlocked bootloaders by Verizon or HTC either.

So s-off > run ruu > then s-on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25165453
throw me a thanks if i helped
Excellent, thank you very much. Not new to flashing ROM's or anything, but with the (former) lack of S-off/the issues of going back with the updated firmware/hboot just had me concerned. Will give it a try later tonight or tomorrow and post back how it goes. Thanks again.

you have to run the same RUU twice in hboot so it can do its complete install.
He wants to get to stock so he won't be using a leaked RUU and so he will not have to run it twice.
What I'm thinkin is, if you made a backup of the stock rom before you flashed your first Rezound rom, you can just do a Restore.
Sent from my S-off HTC Rezound
That would only work if your s-off. The boot.IMG wouldn't be backed up if you weren't s_off when you made the backup.
I have the AT&T One X+ and have it unlocked. All I want to do is root it now and read that you have to flash the stock RUU. I just downloaded the RUU so where exactly do I go from here?
The next step after unlocking would be to flash a custom recovery. Then you'll be able to root your phone. No ruu necessary unless you want to go back to completely stock.Also a ruu will only flash if your bootloader is locked,relocked,or your device has s-off.

I am sorry for being that guy but how do I return my HTC One back to factory/stock? I really did search but all I saw was rooted stock ROMs.
I think there is a ruu lurking about somewhere that is full on stock software wise, but as for s-off or boot splash from a custom recovery I don't know if it'll change either of those...at least that was my concern and would love to know for sure if someone more knowledgeable in this area responds.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
did you backup your phone before flashing a custom ROM as that be the way to go. if you want to relock the bootloader you can do it but no way to set it back to its original state as far as I know as it will show relocked or something. the how to section here has all the info
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm not too sure but I did it this way I believe. Can't really remember . Download the RUU file , if your are s-off and super Cid, then you have to change the Cid back to the orginal Cid. Once that is completed go into fastboot and use the commands to run the RUU. The RUU should take away the custom recovery and root. You will still be s-off and there is a guide to returning to back s-on but make sure that you do it after RUU or else it will brick I believe. After your s-on relock boot loader with the command and then re run RUU and you should be just like out if the box ..here's a link to RUUhttp://rootzwiki.com/topic/41226-leakruu-12650212/

You will need a WWE RUU version I believe.
First make sure you have you're stock recovery flashed, then relock the bootloader and flash the RUU.

i have a HTC one i have already tried to flash the ruu but it was incorrect i cant find the right one for my phone
If the bootloader is locked, htc stock recovery is installed, and phone is not rooted but it is s-off, will the phone function normally? Like receive Ota from htc and behave like a brand new out of the box unmodified htc one m8? Planning on selling it so I want to know.

Shouldnt be an issue as long as completely stock rom/recovery
If any system files were altered with root, they need to be restored to stock to get OTA. RUU (available for AT&T version) back to stock is probably the best way to get it close to stock as possible.
Also, you need to tell the buyer the phone is s-off, as selling an s-off phone to an unsuspecting buyer is not a good idea (also that it was bootloader unlocked, even if returned to LOCKED).

Well I restored to htc sense nandroid and reset the phone. Only thing is the software buttons are stock android and not htc. It is unrooted and the bootloader saids locked not relocked. It is still s-off I didn't want to do ruu because if everything is not 100% stock the phone could brick

I heard that if it was not 100% stock it would through a red flag..... Or maybe that was turning it s-on? Well I have it listed on eBay already. Everything is stock except software buttons for some reason

Its not true. You can RUU away. It returns everything to stock except S-off, and UNLOCKED, RELOCKED banner.

Doesn't matter if the phone is rooted or not, the RUU will still run.
Bootloader needs to be locked or relocked for the RUU to run, unless you are s-off (RUU will not run with bootloader unlocked).
Of course, the RUU also needs to be the right carrier version (CID), and you can't "downgrade" or run a former RUU version than is on the phone (these restrictions are also bypassed by s-off).
Those are basically the only restrictions on running RUU.
There have been some isolated incidents on other devices where mods caused issues with RUU; so this may be what you have read. For instance, on the One X (EVITA) the Jellybean RUU bricked the device if SuperCID was present and S-on. But this was a bug, and not typical of how RUU works (basically a rare exception to the rule). I haven't heard of any such thing on the M8.
Or you may be thinking of OTA, which is a completely different case. For OTA, stock recovery needs to be present, and if any system files were altered by root, OTA will not install (although presence of root itself will not cause it to fail). AFAIK from reports here, OTA will install whether the bootloader is locked or not.

RUU is here, near the bottom of the page, see "Manual system update instructions": http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
The link gives step-by-step instructions, but RUU is just a .exe program (PC required) you run with the phone connected, the application will pretty much walk you through after that.
Although it was reported by several users last week, the file would not download to completion. One XDA user contacted HTC, who said they would look into it, so hopefully the issue has been fixed. I believe another XDA user posted the file for download, if you search around (if the official download is still broken).
Or you can also try the bootable RUU posted here, which does not require PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-1-58-501-1-bootable-ruu-hboot-t2818556
