I'm getting another One today and it's going to be stock AT&T. Which method should I use? Is Revone a full s-off? I used Revone on my current One but I was wondering if it would be better to have the moonshine hboot with the custom eng-hboot commands.
P.S. Does anyone know what those commands are?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
IMHO if you don't know what the commands are and what they do, you don't need them. The only difference between moonshine and rev one is the custom hboot. I like rev one because from what I've read it's the easiest to reverse.
IMHO revone...
Is easier to use
I also suggest revone.

I used moonshine for windows...easy as pie just unlock bootloader...but like others said really not big difference between them except the custom hboot...so do whatever you feel most comfortable with
I used revone and had great success with it.

I was using revone coz I haven't unlock the bootloader via htc dev, and it work great for me, recommend~
Sorry to bump an old thread, but what are the "eng-style commands" that Moonshine's custom hboot gives? I tried googling, but I found nothing.

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

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)
I tried search for something that could answer this question I have, but couldn't find anything, so i'll ask it here.
Do we HAVE To use HTC Dev to unlock this device's bootloader? I saw there are 2 S-OFF methods available, do those unlock the bootloader?
I'm coming from an EVO 3D and I remember just using the Revolutionary method with HBOOT 1.40.000 and it was a smooth process but once new versions of the same device came out, people had to use the HTC Dev to unlock before a workaround came out.
If there isn't any other method, is there any production of such a method where you don't need to use HTC Dev?
Again, i'm just now switching over to this section of the forums (after watching the progression for a bit already) and just trying to get an idea of what's going on with this device.
Thanks!
P.S: the reason i ask this is because i'm not sure what AT&T's outlook is on unlocked\rooted devices for any warranty purposes. I've returned a device to S-ON, reinstalled the stock RUU and returned a device (my Sprint EVO 3D) and didn't have a problem, but I don't know how AT&T is and this new HTC One device.
Using HTC Dev is the only way....all the toolkits in this forum will direct you to the HTC Dev website as they issue the key in which you need to unlock your bootloader.

If you're on hoot 1.44, you can use revone to unlock and/or S-off.
Smh. S-off via revone method for sure unlocks bootloader without Htcdev.

You can't take an OTA on an unlocked bootloader. You must have stock bootloader and stock recovery.
Yes. You just have to relock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock, grab the OTA, then send the unlocktoken to re-unlock. The firmware update will update your hboot and whatnot, however, and you won't be able to downgrade with a RUU. In theory, you could use a RUU for the new OTA but one is not available.
Good news, however, is that revone s-off does function with the updated hboot. I just s-off'd about 5 minutes ago with the new hboot and revone 0.2.1.

That's the way I did it earlier today. Failed in a terminal window on the phone but worked fine using shell via adb. Took about three minutes with zero errors. Your results may vary, but I successfully installed the OTA from Sprint, installed the stock rooted rom, then revone s-off with no errors.

Omg people stop spreading that you have to relock the BL to take an OTA. You do not need to relock the boot loader, you only need to have stock recovery and stock system apps
I always run all my phones with rooted stock and take every OTA with an unlocked boot loader just fine
If you are relocking the BL then you are adding unnecessary steps to the process. You also do not have to s-on for an OTA I have seen some saying you must s-on too... Let's stop spreading the incorrect info

I unlocked via HTCDev, and used 0.2.1. I used it via ADB shell, I did not use it on the phone itself.
Also contrary to what the guy above me said, I had to RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER to accept the OTA, it failed otherwise on two seperate Ones.

That's weird, my sprint one and two friends with T-Mobile also took ota without relocking it, also never had to relock my nexus7, galaxy nexus, evo4g, evo3d or evo shift. I do know that you must relock it to use an RUU tho
I guess there is no telling what variables are out there... I have also seen people say you must be s-off to flash recovery which should only require unlocked BL go figure....

Unlocking the bootloader and SOFF are different. Unlock through HTC then use revone with adb shell and you shouldn't have any problems.

Yep understand they are 2 different things. But my understanding of the REVONE exploit was that you could unlock the boot loader and achieve root access w/o HTC DEV Unlock and of course S-OFF. At least you could before the .31 update.

That's cool bro, me too not that long ago. HTC One is my first Android, and I love it. Reboot into bootloader (hold down volume and power simultaneously, phone will reboot into bootloader mode). You'll see your Hboot version there. S-off only works on Hboot 1.44.
A word of caution from one noob to another. S-off is serious stuff, and not really needed for 90% of the mods here at xda. You can flash custom roms and recoveries, and radios, all without S-off. Just be careful, and read Everything. I mean it, I have spent countless hours here at xda reading before I did anything. The community here is very willing to help, as am I.
What have you done to your phone thus far? Unlocked? Rooted? Custom recovery or ROM?
Appreciate it guys. Yea I'm running HBoot 1.44, so I guess that solves that, lol. Yea I have rooted my phone with TWRP recovery. I was really hoping to turn s-off so I could switch over to Google play edition. Any suggestions on roms and other stuff to try out? And Thanks for being helpful and patient with me. Unfortunately I'm used to dealing with jailbroken iPhones.

The fact that you're coming from the jailbreak community is good, imo. Thing is, it's practically impossible to brick an iPhone, even a jail broken one, as you could always just restore the iPhone. S-off definitely gives you the opportunity (possible but not probable, depends on what you do) to brick your phone permanently. That being said, I used Revone and it worked well and easily. Read and follow the instructions in the OP for Revone to a T. I recommend reading about the first 50 pages in that thread before you try anything also (ignore the last half of the Revone thread for the most part, just page after page of people shocked and complaining the can't S-off Hboot 1.54). Some people get Revone to work pretty easily, some try 20 times and then it just works.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346 is a rom for GpE 4.3 that you could flash right now as you are, but yeah, you have to be S-off to fully convert.
From spending so much time here lately, some observations one noob to another:
-Either stay stock or go custom (I recommend custom), and stick to it. A lot of people here went custom (including S-off), and f'd up their Ones trying frantically to get back to stock for an OTA. Forums were littered with people who messed that up.
-Careful with TWRP. I use it and like it, but be very careful when you are wiping Dalvik/cache. Ton of people here blaze through the wipe options, then all it takes is a swipe, and suddenly they've erased everything and can't boot their phone. Just always triple check before that final swipe.
-if you modify your Hboot in any way, never ever go S-on until you flash a stock Hboot. Doing so will permanently brick your phone. I can't think of a reason to ever go S-on, but that was part if the whole return to stock for OTA scenario.
Hope this all helps!
Thanks so much for your help man. You have been a great help. So let me make sure I have this right. I have to change my HBoot version to be able to s-off at this point?

No! If you are n Hboot 1.44, you should be able to go S-off fine. I recommend Revone, only because that's what I used. Just read, read, read, and follow the instructions to the letter.

My post wasn't referring to which s-off method to use. Yes revone only works on 1.44 but you are already s-off. No need to use rum runner if already s-off.
I was replying to OP when he asked if it was possible to root with stock recovery. IT is quite possible, I have done so myself.
