Depends on which method you choose. If you choose to downgrade the HBOOT so that you can run Revolutionary and get true S-OFF, then it is fairly easy.
If you simply unlock HBOOT 2.00 and install a custom recovery and superuser app to root it, then you simply need to boot into fastboot mode and type:
fastboot oem lock
and then reinstall the original RUU.

Search the forum. This is already a thread that discusses and documents the procedure to return to S-ON from AlphaRev/Revolutionary S-OFF.

How do HTC know if you unlock on hboot 2.00? Is it the serial that you have to give them?

Yep, you have to input unique data generated by your phone during the unlock process. This data is encrypted, but you can bet that HTC knows exactly which phones have been unlocked.

flash eng spl and then use ruu it can back to s-on

so im guessing so
You don't need to relock, if you're s-off you can run whatever RUU you like.

Where was the phone purchased and what was the carrier? It's possible your CID was changed.
Assuming htc__001 is correct, the RUU collection is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
There are no RUUs for 4.2, so this would mean downgrading. But you should then start getting OTAs.
Note that running a RUU will fully wipe the phone. So back up anything on it you want to keep.

You have superCID, which means any RUU will run. You have the generic European model. CIDGetter is pulling the original cid from some system file, but it doesn't reflect the actual cid.

Yes, that's the one you want. You don't need to relock or anything being s-off. Just plug into your computer and run the ruu.

That is a bit trickier and riskier since you don't know what was done to your phone before you bought it. I don't recommend going back to s-on because of this. However, running the correct RUU should put you back to safe stock.
Once the RUU has run and you've confirmed that the phone boots and is back to a stable stock configuration, you need to reboot and run a series of commands in fastboot:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
This will restore your stock CID. Note that there are two underscores there.
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Confirm on your bootloader screen that the CID is correct.
fastboot oem lock
This will relock your bootloader. Reboot again and confirm that it says "LOCKED" on your bootloader (Not "RELOCKED"). Boot up your phone and confirm that everything seems to be running correctly. You may want to give this a few days. Then reboot to bootloader when you're comfortable with it.
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
This will put you back to s-on. When you reboot from here, your bootloader should say LOCKED and S-ON as if it was out of the box.

I too need to put my T-mobile HTC One back to stock somehow, but don't even know where to start, I saw this thread so I didn't want to clutter up the subforum, and thought that maybe I should ask here. I'm at 1.27.531.11, S-ON, rooted w/ unlocked bootloader, and would like to make it look like nothing happened to it when I return it to the store tomorrow. Could you please give me some pointers?

You need to s-off first or it will say "RELOCKED" on the bootloader. Problem is you may or may not be able to s-off right now. There is a new T-Mo exploit that supposedly works but I know nothing about it.
Once you do that, you can run an older RUU, which will remove the TAMPERED from the bootloader, then relock and s-on as described above.

Crap. Well I know they're not going to check the bootloader lol, just that when you turn on the phone, you'll see the red text at the bottom saying "Developmental purposes" and I can't remember the rest of the message. Can I make that disappear so it just shows nothing on the white background but the green HTC logo? Btw thanks for the reply.

So, i flashed the wrong Kernel and now my HTC doesn't detect SIM Card

Hi,
I was going to update the rom on my HTC One and add the most recent luna kernel but when i download it i didn't look at where the thread was coming from and i think i downloaded to another device. Now, im still able to flash any rom but the SIM Card isn't detected. I've tried a nadroid backup but when i flash the rom i had i get the same issue, no SIM card.

Try flashing latest radio and maybe firmware, this will generally fix. Worst case you would need to backup and ruu.

Hey,
I was able to S-ON my device but now i don't know what to do. My HBoot is 1.44 could someone point me in the right direction? Im currently downloading RUU 3.04.651.2 which is the one i get from getvar version-main.

... buddy why did you go for s-on is out of my understanding. people yearn to get s-off and you did the opposite. its ok. you can s-off later. Now relock your bootloader and run RUU. your phone will be up and running. then again go for s-off after unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery and root ...

.. you got it all wrong. its not necessary to be s-on to run RUU. RUU will do good on both s-on and s-off. its the bootloader which matters and that too when s-on. In simple words, if device is s-on you HAVE to relock bootloader to RUU and if device is s-off, no need to bother about bootloader status ...

[Q] Unrooting?

Alright, I've been through thread after thread and plenty of pages found on google.
Some say to Lock the bootloader BEFORE using the RUU and some say to lock it AFTER or you'll brick the phone?
I've got a T-mobile Variant of the HTC one M7 It's rooted, SuperCID and obviously the bootloader is unlocked.... I think it's on 1.55, not exactly sure, I'm currently backing up all my data.
I've got the new 5.14.531.1 RUU straight from the HTC website.
Since it's a Tmobile rom, I'm guessing resetting the CID to T-MOB010 before installing would be a good idea?
And what of the bootloader? running the RUU should install the new Hboot correct? from there I would just need to relock it or am I not understanding this?
~Out of all my phones I've NEVER returned one to stock, so this is all kinda new to me.

SuperCID means you're S-Off, so no need to lock/relock bootloader, but where did you get that RUU from? link please, cause I don't think it's an RUU (how big is the file??)

ah ok, 1.49GB sounds good for an RUU
and to answer your question differently, if you are S-Off, then you do not need to lock/relock bootloader; the RUU should work fine with unlocked bootloader

hmm, i can't seem to be able open that web page, but if the file is a full RUU (I'm downloading it, but with my connection it's gonna take quite a while), then hook up the phone, and run the RUU and all should be good.
Remember an RUU will fully wipe your phone (including sdcard/internal storage), and if for whatever reason you want to change bootloader to the original LOCKED (not relocked),
you can use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
(though I don't see any reason to do it )
as long as you stay S-Off, you can easily get it unlocked again anytime
out of curiosity, any particular reason you're doing this?

I know, that's why I'm currently backing up everything important on Google Drive.
I was just looking at Scotty1223's threads with the ADB commands to remove tampered flag and reset locked.
and like I said in my second post
I'm going back to stock to upgrade my phone...
So, I do need to relock the bootloader & reset the CID at some point.
So to go back stock with no need to ever unlock or root again,
I'll be fine LOCKING the bootloader and resetting the CID to T-MOB010 Before running the RUU?

I understood the part about upgrading your phone, but seeing your signature, you're running a custom ROM and kernel, so i'm not clear what you mean by upgrading
Anyway, if you are going back to stock, here's what I personally would do:
1- stay S-OFF
2- change CID back to original
3- remove TAMPERED and set LOCKED (using scotty1223's commands, or the Guru Bootloader Reset tool) not because it's necessary, just aesthetically more stock
4- run the RUU
5- stay S-OFF

gotcha :good:
that's a completely different kind of upgrade, i thought you meant software
Do they care about S-OFF?? because if you intend on going S-ON, then I would highly recommend a 1.xx ruu, nothing higher.
because going from S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55+, has been known to trigger "tamper detected - rebooting" and TAMPERED is back in bootloader screen.

Yeah, it's gonna need to be S-on when I take it into the store...
Pretty sure they check the bootloader for S-ON, ***TAMPERED*** and ***LOCKED***
Is it just the 1.55+ Hboot that throws the tampered when locked?
If so Can I flash the 1.54.401.5 Hboot from Firewater and proceed like that?

Unknown when/what exactly triggers the "tamper detected" or some people have been able to S-On and not get that, others have not, so I can't say if it will happen or not. but if you wanna play it safe, go for 1.xx ruu.

[Q] How to Debrand HTC One

first of all you need to unlock your bootloader and s-off your phone, debrand is not possible with s=on
the you would need to change your cid to something like HTC__001 or developer edition cid, one fastboot command required to do this.
and then run the correct RUU for those cid's and your done.
its quite easy to do, the hardest part is getting s-off, however you may be ok on 1.55 hboot, try rumrunner, read the instructions and download the required file here: http://rumrunner.us/

Do I need custom recovery? If so which is best.
And do I need to have a custom ROM installed to gain s-off or can s-off be achieved on my current EE branded ROM?

nope its not required for either, you should be able to s-off on stock rom, if you get an error or for some reason it fails, then you MAY have to flash a custom recovery and custom rom / kernel.
The RUU's will put you back to fully stock anyway in the end.

If the s-off does cause an error or it fails, can this cause my device to get bricked?
And by fully stock do you mean that the RUU turns s-on and locks my boot loader? (just in case I need to send my phone in for repair).

no your phone wont brick
and no the ruu wont turn your phone s-on, you will need to lock your bootloader before running the RUU, but that's one simple command too, but only after s-off.
all you need right now is to make sure you have the drivers installed and that your device is detected in windows both when booted into a rom and on the bootloader screen.

not really something they will check to be honest, but if you s-on and you've played about with your phone down the line, like flashed a modified firmware or hboot, you will get an instant brick, if your hboot version is too high you will get the tampered flag back, or if you make a mistake along the way and the fix requires s-off, it will be very difficult to get again.

So, is the following step by step list correct.
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Get s-off via rumrunner
3. Change CID
4. Lock boot loader
5. Run RUU
And, I am currently on 4.3 and Sense 5.5, so can I go straight to the sense 6 and Android 4.4 RUU, or do I have to install the sense 5.5 and Android 4.4 RUU first.
Thanks

yup that's the correct order, and you will have to use this RUU as its the only full RUU available, everything else is just OTA's

And after installing this RUU I can just download Sense 6 via OTA.

is it possible to re-apply the branding?
i.e.
RUU
change cid
OTA with brand change

yup, change your cid to its original one, and find your service providers RUU and flash it.

Kindly Guide Me

I have one HTC One M8 Sprint (Non HK version). presently it has android 4.4, S-ON, sim unlocked, rooted, twrp.
i want to install lolipop rom on it. kindly guide me how to proceed with all requirements step by step. and which lolipop rom is good for daily use.
thanks
We can't. Sunshine doesn't seem to work anymore to gain s-off do we are screwed until someone that doesn't support a paywall figures out how to be able to gain s-off so we can flash the RUU.
I hate this damn phone and I wish I knew how to develop myself.

FYI you don't need to be s-off to run an RUU
Tell that to my phone after I tried 3 different methods and it still will not flash

Our phones don't come s-off so why would they need to be s-off to RUU?
Beats me. I tried the external sd method. Fastboot method. Changed my CID. nothing works.

Plenty of other people have successfully RUU'd their phones while S-on. It does require an extra step but it can be done. Also, as far as S-off with Sunshine, I believe the latest version (3.0) is compatible with Lollipop.
To the OP: Hit the second link in my sig. Scroll down to the RUU section and take a read. A link to OMJ's RUU thread can be found at the bottom of the first post of my thread. Download the latest applicable RUU (4.25.651.14 for NON-HK or 4.25.654.14 for the HK version). Follow my instructions in my thread to run the RUU on your device.

External sd method = needs s-off so won't work for s-on users.
Fastboot method = most RUU's are exe files so most likely won't work via fastboot method.
Changed my CID = cannot be done unless you are s-off.

But I thought if you are s-on you cannot go backwards to an older hboot version. I thought you had to be s-off if you wanted to go backwards?

You do have to be s-off to go backwards, but just to RUU s-off is not required
Are you by chance using a computer, not to be a ****, but like what are some of the results and we can try to help you with using the RUU... Sometimes they are touchy and need to be done in an exact way...and patience is key
