I was trying to obtain S-off through Juopunut Bear, but after it finds my device and tries to reboot it into its program, it simply doesn't reboot. The phone then will not start at all unless I pull the battery and boot into Hboot. From there I flashed my backup img through fastboot and I was good. I found this thread that said I need to ICS 3.32 firmware. On my phone I noticed I am on Software number 3.26.502.56, so I tried to flash the provided download of 3.32 using fastboot. And it did the same exact thing! Would not reboot, and had to battery-pull and re-flash my backup to get it to work.
What is my problem here?
I am on a unlocked and rooted HTC Vivid running stock ICS and stock Kernel.
I really hope I am not committing a stupid error and wasting everyone's time, but it is possible. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you can get hboot relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file seems to work for ant errors I've ever gotten , then just go back and redo every thing but s off it should stay off .

Not sure I'm completely understanding you. I need to relock and run stock ruu, then redo everything except s-off? That kind of defeats the purpose, I am trying to s-off

Yes if you are having problems after any mod to the os just relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file and it will fix the issue , then go back after you got the phone working right and then unlock the bootloader , flash recovery , root , ect .
But the s-off should stay off and you won't have to redo that step .
So basically you will be on a stock ics with s-off
Then just redo the process to get it where you want it .

I'm sorry but this just doesn't make sense, the phone is automatically S-On not S-Off, so it won't 'stay s-off'. You understand what I mean?

did you succeed s-off ?
if you did the s-off procedure via " wire trick " was successful the relocking the boot loader will not change the s-off it will stay off ,
Then relock. Run ruu now you are stock ics with the s-off still , and all the errors should be fixed .
Then just re unlock bl , flash recovery , root , flash New custom Rom / kernel, ect.
All I'm saying is if you have s-off then your good ,
To fix all the errors run the ruu , only reason you need to relock bl is the ruu will reject the install if you are unlocked .

Oh, we are talking past each other. I did not succeed s-off, when it reboots my phone via Control Bear it does not boot into the Juopunut program, and I have never had a chance to do the wire trick! Thanks for the help though.

I had trouble on my first S-OFF attempt. I had made a mistake (I missed one of the S-OFF prep steps in section 2 of the SuperGuide, which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836 ).
If you want to try again?
-If you have relocked your bootloader, flash your phone stock using your appropriate RUU while phone is in Fastboot mode.
*** If you haven't relocked bootloader yet, you can do it first via fastboot ("fastboot oem lock")
-Start at section 1 of the superguide (unlocking the bootloader, yeah it sucks to do the process again but thankfully htc makes it easy!)
-And then you can try S-OFF process again (section 2 in superguide)

Download the ruu from HTC or you should be able to download it from the EVO 3d forum while in fastboot mode hook you phone up to your computer fastboot should change to fastbootusb then double click on the ruu and let it do its thing do not unplug till it is finished then you will be out of box stock

Successfully gained S-Off and Unlock via Revone. Needed to revert to return phone. Successfully locked and gained S-On, although "tampered" appeared on the b/l screen...
Problem now is WiFi no longer works. I cannot flash a complete ROM via RUU, it fails at updating signature. I cannot flash an OTA zip for the same reason. I cannot enter recovery - all I get is the red triangle.
I cannot regain S-Off, or Unlock (via Revone). Error 2.
I've tried firmware.zip - many parts fail. Although my ROM version is now dated April 12th not May 3rd.
Other than WiFi and tampered, the phone works.
I'm stuck!
You should have done s on only when everything else is stock, your lucky your phone even turns on.
I would try to re unlock it, flash a custom recovery and flash a rom get it working again. Then s off and try the whole going stock procedure again.

Done that. However, if the bootloader's knackered, or partly so, a Custom ROM won't flash a new bootloader. Not sure why I need the interim step. My idea was to S-off now unlocked a try RUU again

I realised that I took a nandroid backup of the original firmware, so I have been successful in returning to stock.
When I boot to the bootloader, I see TAMPERED AND UNLOCKED. I guess this is to to a custom recovery and also unlocked bootloader. Any ideas how I can get this back to normal? Am I then back to stock fully?

There is NO way for you to remove the tampered flag or change relocked to locked if you are on Hboot 1.54, no S-Off available which is what you need. If you are on a lower Hboot then you can S-Off and remove the flag and return to 100% stock.
There are also NO 2.24 RUU's so don't bother trying to find one.
It amuses me that somebody would never buy another HTC phone because they don't know what to do. Other phones can be unlocked , rooted, flashed, by pure noobs who don't know what they're doing. The One requires you to learn a little and do some reading to know what to do, when you've done that you'll find it isn't hard at all.
Why are you so desperate to go back to stock? If you just want the stock experience, flash a stock rom.
If you're trying to hide the fact that you rooted and unlocked in order to return/sell it, you can't really complain that you're having problems trying to deceive people. Sorry.
Had either of you done any research and reading prior to rooting, your problems would have been apparent.

Try a factory reset, but don't use the backup to restore settings. It might be a hassle, but it should uninstall SU, and if you don't restore those settings, it should be unrooted. Just go to play store and reinstall the apps you had before. They should be saved under your account. I hope this helps.
Edit: Another possibility would be to install an all in one toolkit, and have that unroot the phone for you. I'm not 100% sure it would work with 1.54, though. There are two good ones here and here.
Edit: Yet another possibility would be to flash hboot 1.44 and then run the RUU again.
Edit: Finally, have you tried unrooting through the SU app itself?

If your phone was 2.24 out of the box and you never went s-off, you don't need a ruu because your firmware would not have changed. So you just need to restore stock recovery and stock system files, then relock. Flash a stock rom, flash stock recovery in fastboot, and unroot through the superuser app. Then relock in fastboot.
The AIO toolkits will not help with relocked and tampered on 1.54 because they require s-off, which is not available on that hboot. Also, factory reset won't unroot you; it may remove the superuser.apk but will not remove root access.

Who's flaming and complaining, and I did help ... I wouldn't help you now but that's another story. As for noobs, If you can't be bothered to read and search then that says something about you. For starters, even though you were wrong (and not the OP) I did help, I have also spent more time helping on here than I have posting anything else, so if you don't like it, you know what you can do.
You might want to give correct advice aswell, if he's on Hboot 1.54 then he'd need S-Off to flash an older Hboot, which he cannot do. Thanks

when i red your reply it seemed too easy but no
stuck recovery when you mean that ''fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'' pulled from nandroid back up ? yes ur right i manged to do that it was succesful but no change even a systim rom is not available getting signature failure 'seems promising yah
i know my thing is hard but it shouldnt be like that right im runing a rom now 4.3 im fine with it but i really want to F*** htcdev members :v
I mean stock recovery, which you can pull from the firmware file for your phone. Find the recovery.img file in the zip and use that.
Stop trying to flash ruus and firmware packages in fastboot; you may screw up your phone doing it.
Just get a stock rom that correspond to the firmware package from the development forum and flash in custom recovery. Then flash the stock recovery in fastboot. Once that's done, you should be able to get OTAs.

yea im having problems.........i relocked the bootloader
now i can't boot into any rom , and im trying to flash the stock rom zip via hboot and it is not going through
i tried it on the computer , and it says i can update and it will start the process and go into the boot loader , then it says failed and wants to start a recovery process
any help is appreciated , and i have been reading every post i can find on the issue , as i just did this to my girlfriends phone last night..... this is slighty different as many links are dead , and im having trouble finding everything i need
i was on TWRP recovery , but now the bootloader is locked so i have no recovery at all , im going to try and flash the zip with a locked bootloader now , but i don't anticipate it working
ive pulled the factory RUU's from multiple threads , and i can't get them to install
i've been looking for a zip of the stock rom that i can try and flash on a unlocked bootloader so i can S-off , but i haven't found one i can get to boot
like i said , i tried this one
http://bionicgeeks.the-talk.net/t14-stock-rom-att-ics-de-odexed-zip-aligned-rooted-bloated
i flashed the boot.img from the zip , and then tried to flash the zip file via TWRP and it would not boot at all.... hung at the screen after the beats splash screen
do i need to flash the stock recovery ? i don't have it if so ........ any advice what to try next ?
Ruu allows me to initiate update ...... starts sending to phone then says sending forever
....failed
any help
all the Ruu's i download send for a long time and then fail
i was not on a stock rom before trying any of this
i relocked the bootloader and then i have been trying to run the RUU
no other steps need to be taken ?
i have been searching for a working RUU all day....... none of them will actually install the firmware.... any ideas from anyone on what i should do
maybe some personal help ? im willing to try anything at this point
OK slick.... First... Slow down...
You screwed yourself badly here by just running off the handle...
First... Where in the world is your phone now...
Bootloader status...
Recovery...
Last kernel you fastbooted...
And I swear to whatever you call holy... If you ask what fastboot is...

fu** sake i cant even flash the correct RUU
i downgraded my hboot to 1.44 and got super cid
but i still cant remove unlocked and tampered
alright if anyone happens to see this this is where i am at now
i have removed tampered and unlocked (replaced with locked) but i can not for the life of me figure out how to restore the stock recovery without having the device saying "unlocked"
i have the guru tool which can remove tampered and lock and unlock boot loader but i want the stock recovery on my phone so i an return for warranty purposes the only way i can use the guru tool is through cwm. . when i lock the bootloader i cant change the recovery . . . what in the damn hell do i do hahaha
currently hboot 1.44

check my thread, replied to you there
So I've run into a problem with my new Htc First phone, the wifi doesnt locate any access points.
Its unlocked,rooted and S-off-ed.
I can unroot and lock the bootloader but does anyone know how to S-on it?
Yea, you just have to ruu first and then follow this guide.

Thanks!
Btw is there any known wifi problem with the First? Mine just came from america yesterday and the phone wasn't locating any access points. I thought rooting it and flashing another ROM might work for it but unfortunately it didnt
Actually I'm also having trouble flashing stock unrooted rom , could you point me in the right direction?

You usually have to run a factory reset, cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flash roms. I get that wifi problem sometimes when trying to flash a rom before wiping.

DUDE QUICK THING ! you can't flash any roms in till you RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER ! I know it sounds weird but trust me you will keep the S-off status (assuming you have s-off) and everything works fine, I couldn't flash any roms in till I relocked and I heard others have this problem too.
Now the WiFi problem, if factory resetting doesn't work, try flashing the stock rooted ROM around these threads, if that doesn't work try JMZ's kernel, and if that doesn't work then you have a hardware problem, good luck.
Sent from my HTC first
If he just RUU's it he won't have to worry about relocking his boot loader, he should just use titainium backup and ruu to save time.

Trust me I've tried RUU and even that didn't work for me, in till I relocked , it was weird but its worth a shot since relocking keeps the s-off anyways

I've tried it many times already it works, after you ruu it you just have to turn s-on before you try to unlock the boot loader again otherwise you'll get bootloop.

guys guys, you've lost me.
All I need to do is wipe away all traces of my rooting and bootloader unlocking etc as I'm returning it for warranty.
Now my First is rooted, custom recovery and s-off and unlocked .
I want it unrooted, s-on and boot loader locked.
Someone please guide me through the steps :/
btw im not a n00b, but this is my first HTC phone so I'm not too familiar with these ruu's and s-offs

Step 1. RUU your device
Step 2. After it reboots when it's done ruu'ing just start it and go through the set up.
Step 3. Turn on USB debugging mode.
Step 4. Turn on CMD on your PC then just follow the commands below
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxx is your stock CID.) Mines is CWS__001 on the HTC first I'm not sure if it's the same on all devices just check to see if yours it the same, if it is just use fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (It should say CWS__001 if that is your cid.)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
And that's it, it is a extremely simple process lol, I've done it at least 20 times since I tend to ruu my device a lot off of S-OFF, when messing around with different roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
So its okay if I flash the ruu by the second method as in this thread?
And will custom recovery be overwritten with stock recovery?
OK Update!
I was well on my way to relock,s-on my phone etc and here's what happened
@Kendosis
@SneakyGuyDavid
1) Sucessfully RUU'd
As it happened I didnt have my sim inserted and when I rebooted, the wifi was working! When I inserted the sim the wifi stopped working. I did some bit of research and it turns out it has something to do with wifi country codes. Apparently it can be fixed by this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fardjad.android.wifixmanager
2) Since the app required root, I was going to get root again.
(Flashing RUU gave me bootloader locked)
I unlocked and then flashed CWM
3) Since I had no roms on my phone storage and the CWM doesnt mount storage, I had to sideload the ROMS.
4) No matter which roms I flashed, I was stuck in a bootloop. I relocked and tried flashing again but I was again stuck in a bootloop. CWM works fine though.
Current status: Bootloader Locked, S-off.
What do I do to fix this bootloop :/
@dramon
I told you to s-on after you ruu first otherwise you get boot loop lol.
Now RUU again and right after don't install nothing just start up the phone and turn usb debugging on and follow the steps to S-ON.

also sideload sucks ass, if you flash TWRP then you can run adb from it and use adb push, so in cmd you would run " adb push
ROMZIPNAME.ZIP /sdcard "
Thanks guys, I now have an idea of how the rooting and unlocking works for HTC (Y)
