You will need to relock your bootloader in order to install an official RUU.

I also have a true S-OFF IncS (via XTC clip), but with HBOOT 2.0x, I still had to relock the bootloader if I wanted to run an official RUU despite having S-OFF. S-OFF did allow me to flash any RUU without the need for a goldcard, but if I didn't relock the bootloader, the RUU would throw a 155 error, so I am speaking from personal experience.

From what I've read is S-Off is base security off completely and bootloader unlock isnt needed. Im just leaving my bootloader unlocked in case.
Hi
greetings,
unlock bootloader gives access to partial system files
where as S-OFF which means security off will give you full system access
if your s-off and locked bootloader then you can not use fastboot\abd commands. for that you need a unlocked bootloader.
but you being S-OFF you can directly flash a patched hboot which will give access to bootloader option ( do not know if its available right now)
so you will have to unlock your hboot or flash a patched hboot.
you need fastboot\abd commands to flash recovery and that needs unlocked bootloader.
I don't believe that's true. You have to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader and I used fastboot getvar all while locked.
I just wanna know if I can flash a Rom with locked bootloader and s-off.

I have a HTC butterfly and I already did that we now have s off and we can change our relocked to locked on our bootloader. Once ur s off u can use custom recovery and root and also flash roms when bootloader is locked I did it couple times jus make sure u have cwm or twrp as the recovery. But for ur phone I don't think so because we don't use fastboot oem lock command no more we use a flashable zip to lock

Yes you can flash a ROM with S-OFF and locked but you can't flash a custom recovery whilst locked unless you have a ZIP you can flash via fastboot (like it used to be with the Sensation/Desire). Leaving it unlocked doesn't actually matter as if you ever need to send it back to HTC you can reload the stock ROM and lock it again before doing so. Everyone wins
Thank you for the answer.

I'm looking to RUU my phone back to stock, but I've already installed the 1.31 update. I didn't have any luck with Revone to get S-OFF so I'm just looking for a tool that can get me back to stock unrooted with the 1.31 firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't you just flash Indirect's stock 1.31 rom and relock your bootloader?
I was kinda in the same situation on 1.31, but I was able to use revone to get s-off and then the 1.29 RUU worked fine.

How would that affect future OTA's from Sprint?

Maybe I'll try Revone again and see if I have any luck.

Why would you want to take an ota? HTC is notorious for locking things down more and more with every update they are trying to make it harder and harder for us you do anything to our devices. Case in point all the folks that updated their phones can no longer get s-off until a new exploit is found. One of the reasons we get s-off is so we don't have to take the ota

Seems like I require S-OFF.
Currently I got custom recovery and ROM but it only boots into fastboot until S-OFF is achieved.
HBoot is 1.44 S-ON, locked with tampered flag(Not the new 1.54/1.45 HBoot).
CID has been set to 11111111 and has not been unlocked on HTCDev before.
How would I proceed? or is this a complete paper weight? Phone doesn't have warranty anymore.
Thanks.
Try running an RUU while the phone is connected and in bootloader mode.

Don't use a ruu higher than your main version so you can still s off

I will s-off my phone in few days
Can i downgrade hboot with ruu?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The ruu will reset to stock your phone, not only the hboot.
If you need to change it, flash only the hboot
is ruu work from 2.24 to 1.29?
Sorry about bad english

I'm not sure. If you find you can't, it's now possible to S-Off on HBOOT 1.54/1.55 with a tool called Rumrunner.
