I've currently got Android Revolution HD 12.1 installed, however I need to return the phone to Vodafone UK Stock, due to returning the phone.
I found this link, which seems to give instructions on restoring the HTC ONE, however apart from downloading the OTA_M7_UL_JB_50_Vodafone_UK.......zip file from here, I'm really not sure which method to follow.
This is the information I have from the Software Information on my phone:
Android version: 4.2.2
Kernel version: 3.4.10-g445d072
Baseband version: 4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01L
Build number: 2.24.401.1.CL211355
I would really appreciate some assistance

Here is a link to all RUU`s, zips and CWM/TWRP recovery rom`s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874. You`ll need S-Off however to downgrade the Hboot. If you`re not S-Off you cannot Flasha RUU with a older Hboot. Guess you`re on HBoot 1.54.000 now. Till the revone devs find a way to modify the S-Off exploit you`re stuck, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582.

Thanks for responding
I've already downloaded the OTA's: Vodafone UK file from that link, however I'm really not sure what I should be doing with it
Edit
Just curious, if my phone is S-ON, how have I been able to install a custom ROM and recovery?

If the bootloader is unlocked but you`re S-On you can flash a custom recovery and roms, you however cannot downgrade or flash a newer Hboot afaik. You can`t do anything with the OTA atm, not even flash a Vodafone CWM recovery i`am afraid.

With regards to the Vodafone zip file, is it possible to flash that somehow and give the impression that's in factory state?

No mate, you don`t have a Vodafone rom, you have a custom recovery and you would need to lock the bootloader. It is not possible atm, stick with the rom you`re on for now and do not lock bootloader. Wait for revone to modify the bootloader xploit to get S-Off.

I've just gone into Bootloader and it's showing Hboot as 1.44.0000 !!
Would you mind giving me a brief outline on what I should be doing to get my phone back to vodafone stock?y
Many Thanks
Would flashing the Vodafone OTA zip file in recovery be safe or do I need to S-Off the device?
Please can someone advise
Thanks
Wow, you have quite the adventure in front of you my friend if you want to return your phone to a pure stock state. I'll outline the steps and you can do some work and find the guides to complete them. Assuming you're on hboot 1.44 you'll need to go ahead and s-off, you can then remove the tampered flag. After you're s-off you're then going to need to double check you're using a stock unmodified hboot (you should be) and flash the pertinent RUU based on your phone - there are plenty of guides on how to select this. You'll then need to s-on again, google the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" to find some information on how to do that.
Basically you've got your work cut out mate, sorry I can't be more help but the process I've mentioned aren't as simple or as safe as unlocking the bootloader. You'll need to put some effort and most importantly care as any one of them can brick your phone. Once you're s-off you've opened up very sensitive partitions which if changed or written to wrongly can instantly brick your phone. As such I'd do a lot of research before you undertake any of these steps, this is just off the top of my head to give you some guidance so I'd also check them, you really can't be too careful when playing around with £500 worth of tech. Good luck!

I'm now S-Off, however what I can't get my head around is the RUU part. The Vodafone ROM that I require seems to be an OTA zip update, however I'm unsure on how to flash this as it doesn't seem to be RUU

You cannot do it with an OTA zip... you need a full RUU but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one available for Vodafone UK.
This one seems to be the closest one for you.... it's stock HTC Europe. I don't think at this time that returning to stock Vodafone is a possibility.
If you're sending it back for repair or replacement you could take a chance on sending it as it is.

Thank you for replying.
I've run that RUU from the link you provided and it stated that it's updating from 1.29.161.11 to 1.28.401.7, however an Error [131] message appeared stating 'Customer ID Error'.
Any ideas?

Ok... you need to change that ID in the phone.
Reboot the phone to bootloader then fastboot and connect to pc then from your ADB directory on PC issue the command "fastboot oem writecid HTC__001" this will then give you the right ID for the RUU.
Note it's HTC__001.... 2 underscores !
I have a Mint Condition HTC One phone I am trying to sell - Mostly just because I also own a Nexus 4 and love it - and decided I'd rather keep it and use the money on the HTC One on something else.
I'm having a hard time selling it because the "everything is unlocked" is making people scared to buy it.
It's S-OFF, SuperCID, TWRP 2.6.0.1, Bootloader Unlocked, Running 2.24 Firmware and Android Revolution 12.1, Sim Unlocked too.
It's originally a Rogers Canada HTC One
Is there any way (or guide) to completely make it stock again to help sell it? Any help would be appreciated.
Yep, just flash the Rogers RUU (if available) and then you're good to go! If there isn't one then use one of the Nandroids provided and then get the stock recovery and relock the bootloader
don't forget to go back to S-ON after flashing the RUU

Hmm... never flashed a RUU before. Will need to do some reading.
Anyone know where to find a Rogers RUU?
I don't care if its Rogers specifically - it can be Telus or Bell too as long as it works.
I just want to go back to Stock so it's capable of updating OTA somehow if possible.

just download the RUU (sorry, don't know if there is one for your carrier), be sure to be s-off, and then run the RUU.exe or flash the RUU.zip.
the RUU will flash stock recovery, stock rom and i think it will even relock your bootloader. and then you'll be able to download OTA-updates again.
last step is to put it back to s-on and you should be done..
Ruu for bell. Rogers, telus is not available yet, your best bet is to flash the stock wwe Ruu. Remember to flash the stock hboot if you are using a modified hboot for the red lines or you would brick your device

I'm S-OFF using the Revone Method
I'm on firmware 2.24 and HBoot 1.54 (Still S-Off though)
If anyone has time, can somebody give me a real quick overview on what I need to do? I'll buy ya a beer!
I'm not real familiar with HTC Devices - This was my first experience and to be honest, Right now I'm wishing I didn't do this if I knew before hand I was going to flip it so fast.
Ok no problem
First download the RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
and run the .exe.
then you'll have stock hboot and stock recovery + stock rom.
After this you can use hasoon2000's toolkit to get back to s-on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Be sure you never installed a custom hboot before and you are using a official hboot. Better check twice if the red warning text is there before you go s-on
And that's it
No beer needed, "thanks-button" is enough

You cant run the RUU with Super CID. You will have to change it to one that matches the RUU you choose before running it, but keep s-off. Then you should be able to use the tool as mentioned above or do all the things manually. You can use my guide if you like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
Thanks for the help.
Which specific RUU should I flash? I don't see a Generic WWE One in that thread - just a couple of WWE ones for Developer Editions. Should I use an AT&T one? I can change the CID back to whatever is needed.
Am I able to do this somehow with the Nandroid backup for Rogers in that thread?
Also - What do you mean by "check for the red lines" exactly? I am on HBoot 1.54, Is there a easy way of going back to 1.44?
Sorry for all the questions - I'm kinda annoyed there isn't a Rogers RUU available. Last thing I need is a bricked phone - I'm only selling it as I honestly I shouldn't have bought it to begin with (Financially)
Where are you going to try and sell it? If to another user in Canada with one of those carriers, then they wouldn't to buy the unit with a AT&T image on it, I would think.
However running the ATT one would be a very easy way to reset everything including the hboot (no worry about red lines if run the RUU). Then you could sell to a US buyer who is going to use ATT (Tmobile also has a RUU). My guide for reseting to ATT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497
There are some threads around here where users are resetting Rodgers back to stock but it is much harder without a RUU and I am not sure of your comfort level.
To use one of the Rodgers Nandroids to do a complete reset to stock I would:
Change the CID to CWS__001 and run the ATT RUU to reset all your firmware, hboot etc, back to stock. You will still have unlocked bootloader and s-off, so you can then change back to your stock CID and then use the fastboot command to boot (but not install) a custom recovery in order to restore the Rodgers Nandroid and then just relock and s-on. Should be 100% Rodgers stock.
Code:
fastboot boot yourcustomrecovery.img
You can only use this method to boot a recovery without installing it, if on hboot 1.44, so that is why I recommend using the RUU to downgrade all that stuff for you.
Let me know if you need more help. I'd be happy to guide you.

you could take the latest open europe RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7), or take an AT&T one.. don't really know which one would be better for your situation you'll know it better

this is also an option. you can flash this nandroid backup through cwm recovery. but then you'd have to manually install stock recovery and lock the bootloader/go back to s-on. why not :good:

you can stay on 1.54 if everything works fine after flashing the older firmware. the "warning text" is related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316726
but if you've never installed a custom HBoot you don't have to worry about this when going back to s-on. just check once if the red warning text in the bootscreen is there.

Hey, I'm trying to do the same thing as OP, and this thread has been the closest thing to my issue. I'm trying to return everything on my phone to stock, however my Canadian carrier is Bell. Currently my HTC One has the bootloader unlocked, is rooted, TWRP recovery, and TrickDroid installed.
If I understand your instructions correctly, what I should do (given I want to restore using a nandroid backup) is:
1) S-Off my phone
2) Change the CID to CWS___001 and run the ATT RUU
3) Change the CID back to my original (BM_001 is what I think it is, do you know how I can make sure? What command to run for ADB?)
4) The Nandroid backup from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&highlight=bell+update for my phone is for CWM (it's this one: M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID BM___001 / 1.29.666.5), does that mean I have to change my recovery from TWRP to CWM at this point?
5) Use fastboot to boot the recovery --> two questions regarding this, 1) why would I not install the .zip I downloaded from step 4? 2) where do I get the recovery.img? Just the one that is in the zip? In which case, shouldn't I also has to boot the boot.img or anything else?
6) I also want to upgrade the radio, should that be done last?
Thanks for all your help!
Lastly, I'm looking for a ROM to flash afterwards, I was wondering if you had any suggestions/know of a ROM that can allow me to use the swipe2sleep features, as well as hold the back touch button to force kill an app.
Just sell it on swappa. They love rooted unlocked modded phones.
Hi, have been reading up as much as possible, but am after confirmation before I start trying to return to stock.
Basically, I have an unlocked HTC__001 HTC One, s-on ,with an unlocked bootloader which was unlocked via HTCDev.
It was unlocked after being updated to 2.24.401.1, so I have bootloader 1.54, and an active "tampered" flag.
So, i've been playing with a GE rom for a bit but have decided I would like to get my device back to stock. I am under the impression that I could use my custom recovery to flash a stock odexed ROM suitable for my CID from here, then flash the correct radio, then re-flash the correct stock recovery, then re-lock the bootloader and be back to stock. My questions are these:
a) Am I right?
b) If I am right, will I still have the "tampered" flag set in the bootloader? I'm assuming I would.
c) If the flag is still set, will it affect any future OTA updates I may receive?
d) Does anyone know of a method other than this which will get me back to stock?
I have noted that the RUU for my device does not seem to be availabe to download as of yet, only the previous version is available which has the 1.44 bootloader, obviously, if I try to flash that, it will complain about the bootloader version being lower ect. So I don't think that is an option.
Any help would be appreciated, Cheers.

Thanks, but I have read that thread, it doesn't really apply to my situation. That thread is for S-off devices, mine is S-on. And also, it requires running an RUU which for me isn't available. The trouble (i believe) is that when S-on, I cannot run an older RUU than my current device is at. Hence my asking here.

Run a stock ROM like found in mike1986's thread, install the stock recovery and relock your bootloader ... That's all you can do at the moment because you can't go S-Off on Hboot 1.54 so the tampered flag will have to stay until you can.
Read through this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 .. there's everything there that you need to return to stock and receive OTA updates while being S-On. The only time you'll have an issue is if you can't go S-Off to remove the tampered flag and change it from relocked to locked, only an issue if you need to return it under warranty for anything that's happened as a result of you unlocking the bootloader and flashing stuff.
Yeah! That's pretty much what I thought.
Will the tamper flag give me issues do you think?

According to the guy I spoke to at HTC when I sent mine back the other day, it shouldn't. He said they should only refuse to cover repair under warranty if the fault is caused by something you've done, i.e, flashing stuff or deliberate damge or something. Unfortunately that's the risk you take if you need to return it, unless there's a method to change the flag by being S-Off you just have to either not risk it and wait until you can go S-Off and be sure to remove all traces of messing, or you return it and hope for the best lol
Well, I don't need to get it fixed or anything. Just had me play and wanna return it back to normal. I have done as I said I would in the first post and applied a small application update from HTC, so it appears to have worked. As expected, I have Re-locked and Tampered displayed. Will Just wait for S-off to emerge and deal with it then. Thanks for all the replies.
Hello,
probably silly question and you will order me to study xda.
Unfortunately, i have came through almost every single topic, and can't get to "move" from my situation.
I received Htc One with Hboot v 1.54.000, locked bootloader - S-ON.
Software number 2.24.111.5 (android 4.2.2 with Sense 5). My cid (read through CidGetter from playstore) - T-MOB101.
I am trying to avoid unlocking bootloader via htc-dev, as afaik it voids the warranty.
I am not interested in custom roms. Rather, i would like to "fool" the phone and make it like it was European distribution, with no branding, so i would receive OTA as anyone else with unbranded phone.
If i understood correctly, to achieve this, basically i need to change my CID to european or supercid, which will enable to install any ruu from htc. But european otas would be enough for me. To change cid, i need S-OFF, right ?
There are basically three methods, if i read correctly, right ?
1, Revone - doesn't work with Hboot 1.54
2, Moonshine - Works without htc-dev unlocking, but installs custom bootloader, which will disable otas to install.
3, Rumrunner - Works with 1.54 bootloader, but i need to htc dev unlock ?
So, am i understanding correctly, that as long as i dont want to htc dev unlock, i am stuck to my cid, and dependent from german t-mobile ? So i can only hope, some dev will find exploit in Hboot 1.54 ?
Isn't there any miracle, that could help to solve my problem ?
Thanks
Rumrunners is the only solution with an htc dev unlock...
If you will remove the cid and put an european is the best thing to do.
You can always put the locked string
Yes,
but Htc will know, that i requested unlock keys.
Won't be that problem ?
Also, does htc-dev unlock automatically mean warranty void ?

Yeah, i know that htc will know, but i never had a problem.
When i had the Evo 3D i unlocked with htcdev and after s-offed, so i relocked and s-on for warranty e no prob
MY friends with this phone didn't had any problem with warranty also with an unlocked with htcdev...
Remusator - I'm looking for the same thing: I have UK orange firmware, and was hoping to get stock/unbranded CID so I can get regular OTAs. Please let me know if you figure it out
Desperately waiting and hoping for some dev to soff without dev.
Today an arcticle came through my hands, saying "Unlocked htc one - kitkat till end of the month". Still don't have even Jelly :/
Is someone working on this ? Please

Hello, thanks for answer. :good:
If i agree to unlock my bootloader, could i achieve things mentioned in first post ?
Could you please give me some more detailed guide (alternatively steps with topic links), which i need to proceed ?
Al i need is to fool the phone to think, that it's unlocked and receive ota's like any other european unlocked htc one.
Thanks

OK, European unbranded:
1- get s-off: http://rumrunner.us/ (follow instructions !)
2- change CID to European unbranded such as HTC__001
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 <- two underscores
3- I assume your model number (MID) is already PN0710000
4- remove TAMPERED, and set your phone back to LOCKED, you can use this tool from within CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
5- Run the following RUU: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...1-27_10-31-1131-05_release_310878_signed-exe/
after the above, your phone will not be fooled into thinking it's European unbranded, it will be European unbranded, and you'll receive the OTAs.
Let me know if you need more explanations, and hit the thanks button if I've helped
Hello, thanks.
However, i am completely stock. So i don't have CWM recovery yet.
In which step will i get it ? Or am i missing something ?
Also, CID change - is it really so easy ? I have seen some guides where people needed to download, edit and then flash some hex files.

OK, so before point 1 above:
a) use HTCdev to unlock
b) download CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863 and flash it in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
--> enter recovery
c) for rumrunner to work, you need a close to stock rom with root access, so get one from here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/, probably this one should work: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-111-3-zip/
you need to push that to your phone:
adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/ <- this will take 5 to 10 minutes without any progress bar, then report success
d) in CWM recovery, now select "install zip" -> "choose zip" and flash the rom
If you're using the Guru Reset ROM, then select WIPE, select ROOT, unselect "stock recovery"
and then proceed to rumrunner
"Also, CID change - is it really so easy ?" <- yes with S-off, it is easy, and you wont have any hex-editing to do, now or in future OTAs
Hit the thanks button if i've helped
Thanks, and what will be my phone status after this procedure ?
What hboot version, son/soff, unlocked/locked.
And what recovery ? Original, or cwm ?

the phone will be unTAMPERED, LOCKED (not relocked), 100% out-of-the box European unbranded, HTC Sense 5 ROM v1.28.401.7, but you'll receive OTAs up to 4.3 I think.
recovery will be stock recovery not CWM, so you can receive OTA
The phone will remain S-Off, and I suggest keeping it, if YOU INSIST on going S-On you can do so after running the RUU, but before taking any OTAs, by using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

Ok, just to make sure.
When will be CWM recovery replaced with original one ? After running RUU ?
I definitely don't insist on S-ON. My warranty will be void anyways because of htc-dev unlock. And in case my phone would break down, i need S-OFF to restore everything to original.
Are there any security risks when i'm S-OFF ? Such as malware android applications etc ? As i have understood, no.
Can / should i take some full backup of my original rom, device, bootloader, recovery in case that something goes totally wrong ?
Many many thanks

Exactly after running the RUU.exe it will restore EVERYTHING back to stock: hboot, recovery, firmware, kernel, ROM, radio

I don't know much about warranty and what IS and IS NOT allowed, every users experience seems different, just read one today: he sent it s-off, rooted, custom rom, etc. but the blown speakers were fixed, and no questions asked.

No security issues whatsoever, S-Off will only allow you to write to certain partitions you can't with S-On. The ROM (Android 4.x.x) is responsible for the malware etc.

Sure, backups are always good.
And I just checked, there's also a Guru Reset here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/ (not your version but close enough)
And there are a couple of nandroids around as well.

1- Yes you need root
2- the link you provided only works if you are S-Off already
3- backup everything to PC (pics, music, etc)
4- use Call Logs Backup & Restore and SMS Backup & Restore if you need them (free apps in Play Store)
5- use Helium for apps+data, since you can't use Titanium
6- backup ROM using nandroid
7- dont worry too much about the nandroid, there are ones on @crushalots site

Hello, i cannot get through this point. I have installed HTC Sync, then uninstalled, so only drivers remained on my system.
I can use adb when the phone is normally booted, but then i don't have permission to write to that location.
When i reboot to recovery, adb devices shows empty list. Also that funny thing in windows taskbar starts spinning, finds "One", but fail to install driver.
Update1:
Ok, i managed to update adb driver to Android one. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108 device manager section)
Now i'm at next step. I pushed zip to /data/media/, but after choosing install zip, there is none on sdcard.
Trying to push that again.
Update2:
File appeared after second push. Installing right now. Hope phone will wake after this procedure. Fingers crossed, holding breath.
Update3
Ok, i flashed RUU, everything is fine until now.
Slovak language / Slovakia as location is missing. Should / can i change my CID for something and install corresponding RUU for that CID, so i would have Slovak Language ? I also get red text saying "THIS IS TEST DEVICE...."
I think, the correct CID for my region is HTC__032 - East Europe
What is the language dependent on ? Because the same RUU you recommended for me is also for HTC__032. Is the file same and languages are allowed based on CID, or how does this work ?
Also HTC_001 is in the first wave of updates ?
Thanks
delete pls

Hi guys! I just got my brand new htc one (m7) with this stock software:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO-4A.21.3263.04
OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
OS-3.63.708.3
eMMC-boot 2048MB
Oct 29 2013,17:34:05.0
HBOOT
Xperia's are easily rooted, deodexed, unlocked, re-locked, downgraded, etc. and if I want to revert to stock, i'll just flash stock FTF and return to warranty unlike HTC phones there's this hboot, s-off, etc. I read a lot of tutorials, noob guides, etc. but got confused on where to start. I just want root without unlocking bootloader or s-off and revert to stock when needed. Any tips guys? and how do you compare xperia development from htc's. Thanks guys.

you can only get temproot without unlocking the bootloader
the steps for your phone are
unlock bootloader @ htcdev.com
flash custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3 preferred)
Make a Nandroid Backup
Flash SuperSU
reboot and enjoy

Yes,unlocking bootloader is must if you want to get permanent root.Further, if you want to return to complete stock in future,you should think about getting S-Off too.I have had a lot of problem because i can't get S-Off .But you should study before you do anything. Unlocking bootloader will result in loss of data/preload* apps which is a serious problem if you want to get future official OTA updates.If you unlock bootloader,u have to flash data/preload apps again if an official OTA update comes in near future. The most serious part is that the OTA updates check md5 of the apps intalled,so each app of data/preload must have the same md5 as before.But, if you are planning to use custom roms and you don't want official updates, that is not going to be a problem.There are several things that should be carefully studied before you do anything.I can give you a head start on what items to study.
1.check your CID ,mid,firmware version and note it.
2.Search OTA which matches your CID,mid and firmware version, it contains the stock recovery,data/preload apps which you may need in future.
3.Try to learn about S-ON/S-OFF, their uses and implications.
4.Do study about how OTA affects your chances to get S-OFF which you may need in future during serious problems.
5. try to read more and more through the forum, this is must.
Lastly,if you need comprehensive details on unlocking bootloader,flashing recovery,rooting and more, go through the video tutorials by "Sakitech" on youtube.I found them the most useful ones.And. last but not the least, this is all my opinion.Good luck!:good:

he mentions the OTA contains files you may need in the future ... it's of no use to you now your already above that version. When you unlock the bootloader your phone gets wiped and you loose (everything) a folder called data/preload
that's needed later to take a new OTA update. That folder can sometimes be retrieved from an old OTA package.
I know it seems confusing now but it will all be simple once you start doing it.

In my opinion, unlock your bootloader,intall custom recovery, and root. After you do all these steps, your device's bootloader menu will show tampered and unlocked flag.So, if you want to remove those flags in future, you will strictly need S-OFF. So, you could see how important is it to get S-OFF. Getting S-OFF gets harder as the hboot version of your phone increases and hboot version normally increases after official software update. In some cases, you will need to use premium apps like Moonshine to get S-OFF.So i advice you to unlock bootloader, intall custom recovery,root and then get S-OFF. Having all of them gives you entire freedom in modding. But, after having S-OFF, you will also need to be more responsible when you flash things. That's why, i told you to read as much as possible. If you want to do what i told you, follow these steps.
1.unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and root.Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y
2.to get S-OFF, try: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
3. During the end of second step, if you get "Whelp it sucks,no amount of re-flashing custom roms and kernel will do", you will need moonshine to S-OFF. Since it is a premium app,AFAIK, you will need to pay 25$. But, before you pay, they will make sure whether or not will it work on you device.Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291087, http://moonshine.io/

To gain permanent root access:

3)Make a stock nandroid (with stock recovery intact via cmd fastboot boot recovery.img); ---> fastboot boot recovery.img command only work on hboot 1.44 so you'll need to make a nandroid backup with the recovery installed on your phone which will overwrite your stock recovery.
Install custom recovery and 3)install SuperSU.zip
To revert to 100% stock:
I'm gonna be needing S-OFF. (i'm on 1.57 so I'm gonna search for it.) --> Firewater or Sunshine if firewater doesnt work.
flash my stock nandroid + flash back /data/preload folder (wiped when unlocking bootloader)
flash stock recovery (if fastboot boot recovery.img didnt work) If you can find your stock recovery somewhere (overwritten by the custom recovery)
lock recovery

one more thing, if i flash the RUU.zip for my version, my current hboot (1.57) will also be downgraded to that version's hboot?
and will it be back to s-on (if i succeeded s-off now) ? thanks

yes hboot will also be downgraded. You will not loose s-off when flashing a ruu. Only turn s-on back if you must send the phone for warranty.
