[Q] HTC ONE back to Stock (Locking bootloader and removing root)

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

Go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 site and get S-Off and then you will be able to downgrade to 4.1.2. Up date it and then go S-On and lock the boottloader. All is written in the OP of the mentioned site.

can we get this on a mac? All i see is on windows
On top of that, some of the RUU's are in exe and some are in zip. I downloaded an .exe one. Can i use that to flash in recovery?

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?

I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.
(also could you reply to my post directly next time? else I don't get the notification that you've answered)

first post need help returning to stock

hello every one this is my first post i need some help please.
i bought a htc one preowned and i have since been in settings and its running a custom rom
android revolution hd 12.1 by mike 1986
my phone cid is htc_001
how do i return it to stock htc os
i have read a few posts before posting here i no i have to re lock bootloader then flash the ruu
i was wondering is there an easier way to relock bootloader and flash the ruu could some one also point me in the right direction
to which ruu to download with a link if possible to download.
thanks in advance for any help u may give with some simple instructions that i can understand as this is new to me and do not want to
make a mistake.

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.

[HTC ONE] Unroot then root "security warning"

Hi guys,
After few months with my HTC One rooted and unlocked (running the Google developer edition 4.3), I wanted to unroot my phone (especially to use Barclay's app which doesn't work if the phone is rooted).
after a "fastboot oem lock", I have an "***Security warning ***" at boot. I know that I have to install everything using a RUU file, but when I try to, I've got another error message which say something like "can't install, hboot older".
Tried everything since few days and can't make it work. Any idea would be appreciated!
More details about my phone:
HTC One EE mobile UK (unbranded)
HBOOT-1.54.0000
Radio-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
cid-HTC_001
Thanks!

Do you have the stock rom?
And however, for unroot you don't have to relock bootloader, but unroot lol
For the ruu, yes, you can downgrande only if you have the S-OFF

Re-unlock the bootloader with the code.bin of htc.
After flash the stock rom and the stock recovery and then relock the bootloader for returning stock and get the OTA

sorry didnt understand your question.

You get this because you are s-off. However being s-off is not voiding your warranty since a lot of phones leave the factory in s-off state. Mine is s-off as well and I didn't have a problem when I sent it to the repair center

you can't remove it without going s-on, but according to HTC, s-off does not void warranty: https://twitter.com/htc/status/377422743626842112

technically, it shouldn't, some phones, ship s-off straight from the factory, and there's no real way of proving it didnt. (unless you kept nandroids or other stuff on your phone), and i doubt they will look for that, cause they have to SU for that.
a few (only a couple) posts i've seen around, said that the repair center said S-Off is not under warranty, but that's just because they were taking the easy way out of a free repair.
IMHO
PS: the "Tell HTC" is about error reporting, when your phone crashes, not during normal use

[Q] Restore to Stock - S-ON

Hey all,
I'm trying to get my phone back to my carrier's stock but I'm running into some issues.
I can't use a RUU because I have one of the "Whelp" non-s-off phones. Most guides on here as well require you to have s-off to do.
Any idea's on how to bring a S-ON'd phone back to stock?
