S-ON again after AlphaRevx instructions

For maybe some more like me that want to go back to what it use to be with the hboot S-OFF, S-ON issue.
I had my phone S-OFF with alpharevx beta. Used CM7 -stable for couple days but decided i wanted to go back to all original. I first RUU my phone with the RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe file. Boot it up, made sured it runs, then did what is instructed below here;
To be able to do this you need HTC USB drivers installed. Install the HTC pakage, reboot, uninstall the HTC-
Sync software, keep the drivers! reboot PC again.
Power off your phone. Plug in your USB cable to phone. Press volume down and powerup your phone. After it
settle navigate down and choose fastboot option.
1. Unpack these files to your c:\fastboot
2. Open up your windows command promt (WinVista/7 users rightclick choose run as Administrator)
3. in command promt type CD\ then press enter
4. then your should be in C:\
5. type cd fastboot
6. then you should now be in dir C:\fastboot
7. Im bored to death typing, look below. Beware of each command ends with enter. After success, reboot.
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30
... OKAY
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot hboot_buzz_7225_1.01.0001.nb0
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... OKAY
Files needed (Windows version): megaupload.com/?d=UO9L74I9
Works perfectly for me.
* NOTE: Im not responsible for your phone if you brick/kill it. These steps worked for me!

This should help a lot of people. Cheers for your post.

Tanks a lot man, this should be Sticky

After is better to avoid potential problems with Custom Recoveries and ROMs. Which is precisely what the OP says as well.
I first RUU my phone with the RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe file. Boot it up, made sured it runs, then did what is instructed below here;

I had to triple check what I typed out of fear of brick, but alas, it worked like a charm!
Small Edit: This method also works with AlphaRev X (version 0.2pre5) that they just released.

Is it possible to keep the root and to flash the stock hboot to get the s-on?

Seems like no one tried it yet. For such a kind of thing, just after ruu, one should root the phone with superone click root method and then go for hboot flashing. But can't expect how the results will be. I think it will not brick since it is a fast boot flash. The possibility is the stock OS then becoming instable and unbootable. If so, just think there will not be alpharevx s-off option then, since it needs a full booted phone. And since there is no custom recovery, I think it becomes hard to make it normal (don't know if Su binary can be cleared from hboot menu through clear storage).
A better thing to try is retaining the custom recovery and flashing stock hboot. But still I can predict nothing. Ofcourse it might not brick the phone. But before doing anything, it is better to take the suggestion of the devs.

The S flag is there to prevent you from damaging your phone by messing around with its system partition when the phone is on, NOT when it is off or in recovery mode!!!

[Help] ICS white screen with logo HTC

Hi gentleman, please, please help me!.
I install this rom: [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.2 to a friend in INSPIRE htc 4g and it worked great, I was sure it was compatible with my htc incredible s. I do not check and made ​​the mistake of installing this spectacular rom on my htc incredible S and now when I switch on it freezes on a white screen with the logo of HTC. My HTC Incredible S has S-OFF Revolutionary and was bought in Bell Canada. I can enter bootloader mode using: power button + volume button down, however, will not let me enter recovery. But, I may use the HBoot, however I haven't a rom that can be used from hboot, I think it has to be a stock rom rar compressed. just image files inside and called PG32IMG. I've searched and can not find it and I don't find the way to solve this problem, please help restore function to my htc incredible s.
please, please help me!
Thank God, I made a backup (Copy this Rom) Using the ROM Manager v5.0.0.6 Premium, I enter the folder: ClockworkMod on my microsd and there are the backup, including this file is called: nandroid. md5.

you should download SDK tools from android.com , and work ur way out through the fastboot ... from ur PC ...
install sdk tools from here :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
i'm not so pro myself with this , but here is what i did , and i recommed u do the same
download it , and then open it and click check on the following :
Android SDK Tools , Android SDK Platform-tools
then On the same program expand Android 2.3.3 and check on : SDK platform and Samples for SDK ... do the same for the Android 2.2 and 2.1 sections
after u check those , click install Packages .. then wait till finished ...
now On your computer create a new folder on ur C: hard drive , and name it "Android" and there you will be putting the following 3 files in this new folder:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot.exe
you will be able to find the files in the following locations.
1.
To find adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, look in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
2.
To find fastboot.exe look in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools
although fastboot.exe might be in the first folder aswell ... but u gotta find it there too
ok now ur ready to go ...
so now you have to download some recovery Clockworkmod or 4ext , the one u like more .. doesnt matter ... then open the zip file that u downloaded and copy the "recovery.img" file in it to the folder that we created on ur C: drive "Android" where u put the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe files ...
next ..
turn on ur phone and boot it into bootloader ... connect it to the pc .. and then choose FASTBOOT
Now ,Open up command prompt. ( Start > Run > Type CMD,). The window that appears is called Command Prompt.
now listen up .. u have to navigate to ur C:Android folder from there ... and thats how u do it ... just type the following
cd.. then press enter , then again type
cd.. again enter ... then type
cd Android now u r ready to flash the recovery so u can flash a new rom ..
so now type :
fastboot flash recovery "the EXACT name of the recovery file that u just copied to ur C:Android file" .. for example if its named clockworkmod .. u just type
fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod.img ( dont forget to type .img after the name )
now after u done that ... type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now u have a recovery ... there u go ...
sorry for the sloppiness .. but this is the first time i post a guide it sucks .. i know but hope it helps

Yes after you flash the ROM in CWM, you need to manually flash the boot.img file that is contained in the custom ROM zip file in FASTBOOT USB mode.

I realy hope that you guys can help me, because i want to go back to stock or just install a rom so i can use my phone again.

You're not f***ed, dude You can get your recovery back by flashing a new one trough a PG32IMG.zip. To unroot your phone properly it's not enough to just flash a RUU. I once found a great guide on the internet but it's in German. But it worked for me, so it's definitely possible

plz tell me how , because i already downloaded a pg321img from somewhere but that failed, and i`m now downloaden PG32IMG_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTCCN_CHS_4.08.1400.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.24_M_release_264218_signed.zip is this the good one?

The red triangle with the exclamation mark is the 'fail' indication in stock recovery, it seems that your ruu has written the recovery but has not written hBoot which is why your hBoot reads 6.xx (revolutionary). My advice is to get a goldcard micro sd card and re flash the ruu using a pc (provided that your inc s can go to hBoot USB). Then you will be unrooted to stock.
Edit.
Downgrade from pc using goldcard and USB mode. Use a gingerbread ROM, preferably from your region, or English WWE and not the ICS Chinese ruu, unless you're from China.

How'd you get s-off using revolutionary? Didn't you make a goldcard for it? There's an excellent tutorial in the sticky section on how to make a goldcard. If I remember right, it takes just the 15 min including the time it takes for the revskills site to email you the IMG file. Best of luck.

OK, here is what you need to do:
1. Boot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then flash ClockworkMod recovery image using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery.img]
That will restore ClockworkMod.
From there you can either restore a previous nandroid backup you made or flash a new custom ROM.
Here is the link for ClockworkMod recovery image:

[Q] S-On, reboot loop, HBOOT 1.55, need to restore

I've been having some problems recently. I've been wanting to update to Kitkat but I have replaced the stock recovery software with CWM, and thus it doesn't work.
To solve this problem I've figured out that I need to get my claws on an RUU, which I have. Hopefully I've grabbed the right one. It doesn't seem like the RADIO serial-thingy matches though. Device has
Code:
4A.21
whilst the RUU has
Code:
4A.23
.
I've tried using the RUU in fastboot but later figured out that I need to have S-OFF for that. That is currently not the case. I've tried using both Firewater and Rumrunner. According to the instructions I'm required to have the phone on in the usual way. As in, not in the bootloader. The problem is that my phone is stuck in some restart loop. When reaching the PIN-screen it will automatically restart/crash after a few seconds. I can however use the phone as usual during this time. Sometimes, it alerts me with an error.
It also seems like the battery completely empties itself sometimes. This is when trying to restore it, getting in and out from the bootloader and the like.
Here's some software info:
CID: HTC__Y13
MIDN0710000
Bootloader info:
Code:
M7_UL PBT SHIP S-ON RH
Code:
HBOOT-1.55.0000

If the RUU is an .exe file, then try placing it in the same folder as your ADB/FASTBOOT files. Plug-in your phone to your PC so that it is recognized on the PC then double click the RUU.exe file. Follow the on-screen instructions. You don't need S-OFF to run an RUU for your phone with the correct CID & MID providing the RUU is the same version or higher.

The RUU crashes when launching it, "InstallScript Setup Launcher has stopped working". I'm quite sure I have the required stuff to run it. Running it as admin didn't help.

Unfortunately, none of these methods helps. The device is supposed to be in Fastboot USB mode when the RUU is launched, yes?

what is the ruu version you are trying to use (complete file name)?

easiest way: download this guru reset file, its exactly the same version you have on your phone now.
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
put TWRP 2.6.3.3 (recommended) recovery on your phone
copy the zip to your SDcard
Enter recovery and flash like you would do with a custom rom
in the Aroma installer, select wipe data, install stock recovery, install stock radio when prompted.
This file will put you back to fully stock.

Hi, I'm a newbie and I was supposed to post a thread regarding a problem I'm facing similar to this. So if it's alright, I'll post it here also and ask for your advice. I recently unlocked my HTC One w/ 4.4.2 amd Sense 6.0 a few days ago and was also able to flash CWM custom recovery and root it. I then tried flashing the latest Android Revolution HD, when I rebooted the phone after intallation, it just stays on the first spash screen. I forgot that I needed to S-off my device. So now, I can only access the bootloader and recovery. The status of my device currently is *Tampered*, Unlocked and S-On with 1.57 Hboot. Also, I can't copy files from my PC to the device. I don't know what to do. I've been reading around but I think I need some concrete advice. Thank you in advance.

Best to start your own thread, but on a quick fix, your problem is CWM, you need to use TWRP recovery to flash that rom, also recommend 2.6.3.3
Tampered and unlocked is normal, nothing to worry about, and you don't need s-off to flash custom rom's, just an unlocked bootloader

Bugger, I have it renamed to RUU.exe and it's md5 doesn't match any file from the site I remember I downloaded it from. I am, however, currently downloading
Code:
RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_O2_UK_4.20.206.16_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353143_signed_2.exe
CID and MID matches, but I didn't buy it in the UK. It was bought in Europe.

Thank you, I appreciate your advice. I tried flashing TWRP recovery but when I go into TWRP recovery, my touchscreen doesn't respond. Any thoughts on why? It works when I'm on CWM though.

Did you name that file yourself, that's the wrong file, that one is O2 "206", hence 4.20.206.16 you need 401, 3.62.401.1 which is WWE, the same number under your os information in your first post and the same as the guru reset I linked.

download this file: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_3-62-401-1-zip/
this is a reset rom
flash it from twrp 2.6.3.3 or from cwm recovery
select to restore stock radio and stock recovery
then you'll be fine to take ota updates.
the file you are currently downloading isnt for your phone.
edit:
well @Seanie280672 already suggested you to do this (just saw his previous post)
will be the easiest and fastest solution in your case.

TWRP 2.6.3.3 has been flashed and I'm currently downloading the .zip file. Is there a way to put the archive on the device staying in TWRP/Fastboot?

with your phone booted in twrp main menu, and the rom.zip in the same folder of adb.exe and fasboot.exe:
Code:
adb push guru_reset_m7_3.62.401.1.zip /sdcard/
wait for the file to transfer (5-10 min) (there is no progress bar just wait adb to tell you the file transfer is complete)
then in twrp hit "install" and then choose guru_reset_m7_3.62.401.1.zip

Thanks!
On an unrelated side-note; if I "thank" someone in the forum, does that count as an upvote or a complete fix regarding my problem (like StackOverflow works)?

no, hitting the "thank" button doesn't count as an upvote like on other forum. This is only to say thank you to a person who helped you.

The ROM was successfully installed and I'm currently configuring my phone! The phone did not implode when restarting, something I take as a sign of a functional phone! A truckload of thanks for the both of ya!

[Q] OUCH! Viper One S / HTC One S :(

help
Alright, so my step-son boffed my wife's phone when he tried to root? upgrade? god-knows-what to it.
i've been fighting with it for over a week now. i have made SOME progress getting out of soft-brick
but i seriously am banging my head and need help.
This is my first time trying to deal with a phone. so please, talk to me like i'm 4 years old.
(the good news? yes, i've been using the google... and a lot of aspirin!)
Here is where i'm at now:
PC:
Win 7
Hardware:
Phone: HTC One S
SD Slot: NO
Carrier SIMM slot: Yes
Carrier: straight-talk simm, T-Mobile phone
HBOOT screen:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.15.000
RADIO-1.13.50.05.31
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
eMMC-boot
Dec 14 2012, 17:10:57:-1
Hboot with Fastboot installed
Bios? options:
Recovery
Factory Reset
Clear Storage
Sim Lock
Image CRC
Show Barcode
Recovery Mode:
Team Win Recovery Project V2.7.1.0
OpenRecovery-TWRP-2.7.1.0-fille_u.img
ADB, ADB-Sidebar, Fastboot all are getting recognized.
I downloaded and installed Viper_One_S_3.1.3.zip
instillation went fine.
it was freezing on the load screen (after the animated viper logo completed it just stays there.)
did more googling and found out i need to copy the .img files to a boot partiton:
from the viper_one/kernel folder i fastbooted the .IMG
fastboot flash boot boot_hboot2.15.img
(did hboot2.15 instead of hboot2.16 because it matches the hboot in the bios screen?)
no good.
i still have full access to adb, adb-sideload, twerp, etc...
i just can't get Viper One S to run.
(NOTE: the VenomRoms website said nothing about taking the boot .IMG out and fastbooting that separate. i deduced that from another thread. am i wrong? )
While i wait for help i will be toying with trying to make ViperOneS v3.2.0 work.

You may need to soff the device for it to boot.

4. How do I install the rom?!
ViperOneS Install Instructions
Download the the latest ViperOneS full ROM zip from the download section
Place the file somewhere on your phone storage.
Confirm the MD5 on the download page matches the MD5 of the file on your phone (ES File Explorer will show the MD5 of the file)
Reboot to Recovery (we recommend TWRP 2.6.3.0 for users on 2.15 HBoot. Users on 2.16 HBoot MUST use the modified 2.6.1.0 TWRP recovery from @LlabTooFeR)
Backup current ROM if desired
Install ROM and select wipe during aroma install if coming from another base or rom
Reboot and Enjoy

What I gather from the instructions, it's the same as a HTC One. You don't have to flash the boot.img separately.
But it is Critical you use the exact recovery they call for or else it won't boot. So go find and flash that and you should be good. also do the Wipe they suggest.
What happens with different versions of recovery is scripting is handled differently in different versions and the Developer may use a Script that's not handled correctly in a different version of TWRP ( thus the need for a specific version )

nope. didn't need to S-Off it.
i don't know what i did - maybe i just did things in a different order - but it's working now.
fight with it for over a weak - feel hopeless.
ask for help and things just suddenly work.
go figure.
