[HOW-TO] Return Your Device to S-ON after S-OFF

PLEASE READ: This will only work on a stock, signed S-OFF HBOOT. Do not try this on a patched or ENG HBOOT or the result will be a permanent hard brick.
1. Boot into fastboot on your device
2. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to where your fastboot binary is.
3. Type the following commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
Ensure your device is listed
_________________________________
Code:
fastboot oem readsecureflag
The output should read something like: secure_flag: 0
_________________________________
Code:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
_________________________________
Last:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
Verify that your device is now S-ON
Thanks to Blue6IX for original tutorial

Thanks for this man, I was wondering when someone would come up with this. People will need it to fully return to stock.

Thanks bud. Logic would suggest you could enter 0 to give s off inplace of 3 to return to s on.

No that will not work, you will have to run the S-Off tool again to regain it.

Awesome thank you

Just clarifying something, so this will or will NOT work for the ics hboot posted on the s-off site by juopunutbear?

It will, just as long as you chose the non-patched hboot without fastboot commands.

Just had to use this method.
Used the PH39IMG to get back to a stock hboot and ran the commands. Confirmed that it does display locked in hboot.
Unlocked, reflashed recovery.. and I am good to go s-on

Where can I find the steps on flashing the PH39IMG to get back stock hboot ?

Yeah seems the
SECOND OPTION (PH39IMG.zip flash) <-- link dead
So can I do OPTION ONE and download the correct RUU and do the same or does the PH39IMG.zip have something the RUU does not ?

So for all intents and purposes, it will look like it was never HTC Unlocked then? My g/f has a Vivid, and she's very picky about going to the darkside of rooting, because she doesn't want her warranty voided. If it can look like it's been returned to stock, that would help.

I cant get it to say ***LOCKED*** I locked hboot, ran GB RUU, ran ICS RUU, followed your steps, fastboot oem readsecureflag
Output is : secure_flag: 3
***RELOCKED***
S-ON
Did I do something wrong?

[Q] S-OFF using moonshine method

I have some questions regarding using moonshine method.
1. Will it give me superCID after S-off or is there and option to change it?
2. Can we go back to S-ON and previous CID using moonshine?
3. Any bad experience users had using/warning/tips?
I have black HTC One International Edition, CID HTC_001

Hello,
I've s-offed my One with revone. It's very simple. And after this you can change your CID. But you doesn't need the Super CID.
With revone you can go back to s-on.

1. No, you have to do it yourself. It's pretty easy. Go to bootloader after s-off. open ADB and. write: fastboot oem writecid 11111111
Yer done.
2 yes, read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42806823.
You can change cid whenever to whatever. Use previous command as in 1st answer.
3. Just read and follow each step in instructions carefully. You should be fine. Sometimes other can write a better guide than OP. As what I found in revone thread.

while using adb, i keep getting this error:
Code:
1|[email protected]:/ $ adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
adb push revone /data/local/tmp/
error: device not found

any clue how to fix this?
I've updated all the HTC drivers, and adb drivers. My device is turned On, connected to PC via USB, with USB Debugging enabled.

Sorry for being a noob here...whats CID? And whats the advantage of changing CID?

I'm pretty sure you'd have to RUU. Not totally sure though....

Yes it is I've done it several times, do you won't to s-on? And return back to stock ? With hboot saying locked?

Running RUUs do not affect S-Off status.

Don't know if this is what you are trying to accomplish, don't believe it undoes anything, but might make it look stock, think there was another thread around somewhere, did not really read the thread.

You can always go back to s-on with the fastboot oem write secureflag3 command.
I am note sure if thats the exact flag number so find out first before running it.

Isn't one of the benefits of s-off being able to Ruu while being unlocked still? ¿
Sent from my One using xda premium

Do NOT run the secureflag 3 command to s-on. You will brick the phone. You need to run the ruu first so you have a stock, SIGNED hboot first. After the ruu is complete then go into fastboot and run
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
if you do it with the moonshine hboot on the phone it will never turn on again.

This is correct. You never want to writesecureflag with an unsigned hboot.
@mhsbrian That is what I said. Running an RUU doesn't affect your S-Off. You can run RUUs for different devices with S-Off if you tried. (but I wouldn't)

You didn't understand what I was saying. I'm saying in order to run a Ruu normally you have to relock the bootloader first before you can run it. With s-off, you can just Ruu without relocking I already understand that soff isn't affected by Ruu.

You can run the plug in eg1212 made for this phone and change moonshine hboot to read whatever you want.

What you need to do is, relock bootloader, run lastest RUU, unlock bootloader, s-off with revone (even tho you still are s-off), s-on with revone reboot into bootloader run writesecureflag 3, reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader and then run RUU one more time and bam you got locked bootloader again (not relocked)

How to install RUU exe file?

I received my HTC One almost two weeks ago, I bought it as US unlocked from Amazon but turns out to be unlocked but not the US version. I have had Galaxy Nexus and never had HTC device before. Now, I want to convert to the developer edition, I understand I need to unlock the bootloader, S-OFF, change CID and MID, and then finally install the developer Edition RUU. How to do that? Things on Nexus were different. Is there a simple guide on how to do so? Thanks in advance!

Unlocking bootloader + custom recovey + root tutotials are easy to find in this forum. Official xda video guides at the root of htc one forum.
For s-off search for "revone" if your hboot is 1.44. Search for "rumrunner" for hboot 1.54 and up.
To change cid: "fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx" where you replace x by correct cid.

if it's not too much trouble, could you stick with one thread, your quadruple threading is neither helping you or the forum.
you change you mid same as cid (but use mid):
fastboot oem writemid PN0710000 <- whatever u want it to be
fastboot reboot-bootloader
