I also would like to know how to. I have been searching endless on restoring this one back to stock every possible way leads to verification fail.... I have the correct nandroid for my model (bell mobility canada) but its becoming a pain. If anyone can point me in the direction that would be much appreciated..and yes I have read the stickies and guides. My major issue it seems is I cannot restore the nandroid in cwm as it wont mount to my sd

Your going to have to S-OFF first... You need S-OFF first so that you can lock your boot loader again without it saying "relocked" and "tampered". I'd recommend Revone S-OFF since it does NOT install a custom boot loader and is very easy to use.

How to Relock bootloader, Have "locked" sign, unroot phone. so that i can return it
Can anyone direct/guide me how to Relock my HTC ONE T-mobile bootloader, have a "locked" sign on my screen and unroot my phone totally with complete stock. THANKS MUCH APPRECIATED
AFAIK you cannot make it say "LOCKED" again unless you gain S-off and manually change what it says.
When you relock the bootloader, it says exactly that: "RELOCKED".
Search for S-off Revone..... That way u can

After doing s off.... And bootloader relocked.... Flash your tmobile RUU..... After that, you can remove the relocked bootloader status, and make it to Locked using revone, and in fastboot mode, you can come back to s on... Its mentioned in the s off revone thread on 2nd post...

Go to another htc thread and find it. All you gotta do is re lock the phone. Run the ruu and then a fast boot command. I think it's fastboot writesecureflag3. Double check. Its doable. I promise.

Hello,
I have been researching here to find a way to downgrade to a previous version of a firmware so that I can S-Off, and to no avail unsure how to do it myself using either use Moonshine or revone.
The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Alright. Assuming that works, is there a way to reflash?
[Edit] Just checked my bootloader it says that I have 1.44. However I have tried both Revone and S-off with no success

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I think so yes, but I'm not 100% sure. You may find the answer, or ask the question in the hboot update threads or s-off threads. I haven't flashed a RUU myself in years.

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?
Also There is something I have been thinking about it, and if I were to follow the steps here, with execption of the flashing the RUU through fasboot, could I flash the RUU through TWRP instead?
[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?
Bear with me as this is my first HTC device in a long time. I got it used and the bootloader is unlocked but says **TAMPERED**. I understand I could relock it and return it to stock but it seems I need S-OFF in order to do this. Currently, the phone is still S-ON. What would be the correct steps in getting rid of the tampered message? If you can just guide me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.
There are plenty of guides to s-off, look in the original development section...

Get s-off using revone

And don't go s-on again unless ABSOLUTELY necessary. There are quite a few prerequisites for s-on, otherwise you'll brick your phone!!!

You don't need it to relock, but it will say "Relocked" instead of "Locked"
With S-off you can change it to back Locked, like it was never touched.
The s-off guides have a list of requirements that you need before you get started if you do go that path.
Are you trying to make it look completely stock? Or just relocking? They require completely different things.

Doesn't 'tampered' just mean it's still got the custom recovery on it? Sure I've read if you get the stock one back on it goes away

I'll head over there and make sure to read.
I'm a bit hesitant of doing anything with it. I was looking to just change it back to stock completely and possibly selling it. People who don't really root their phones may be turned off by the whole tampered thing, especially if they want to send it back to HTC for repair or something.

Once you're s-off you can remove the tampered sign, and even lock (as opposed to relocked) using revone.
As long as you're on hboot 1.44.
You can even keep it s-off because some phones come s-off by default so service centers shouldnt be able to complain about that.
Do quite a bit of reading if you do want to go back to s-on, otherwise a brick can happen!

Thank you very much. I just wanted a bit of guidance on what direction to take. Thanks again!!
I have an HTC one running 4.3 google play I want it to be back to stock so I can sell it. It was originially running Bell mobility but I could not find an RUU for Bell but I found some OTA's for bell. how would I go about this, is it possible? Can I use another RUU and then flash the OTA for bell would that work?
If anyone has a bell RUU that would help alot thank you.

If you never S-off before then you haven't changed your CID. If that's the case then follow @Mike1986 guide to going back to stock. Use method 3.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618. Grab the CWM stock Nandroid for your device from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45187010&postcount=1.

That should work as long as you haven't changed your CID before.
Correction: That nandroid should have the stock recovery in it, if it's not then you'll have to search for it and flash it via fastboot. My apologies.

No, because your bootloader will indicate "Re-locked" instead of "Locked". Also, your IMEI was registered in HTC's database when you unlocked the bootloader via htcdev website. Only way to cover some of your tracks is to S-off the device by Revone if possible and using their lock command. It involves some risk. Rooting the phone doesn't always void the warranty, many times they'll will honor it if it's a genuine hardware issue.

I have one of the bad camera sensors, and rather than live with it I'm hoping HTC can fix it.
I unlocked the bootloader on my device, and I was wondering: would HTC refuse service for this? Also, should I go S-Off and remove the "tampered with" message?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, you should go completely stock (with the software that came with your phone, i.e dont leave it gpe if it was sense based etc). Look @nkk71's guide to going stock, all the info you need is there
You can leave it s-off if you please but i would definitely LOCK the bootloader instead of RELOCKING since ive heard/read a few cases where they didn't fix the device since it was re-locked making it void of its warranty. Now personally, i would even go as far as S-ON, just to be on the safe side. I can attest that ive s-offed with rumrunner, s-oned, and then s-offed again with rumrunner (on my device) and it worked so you can s-off again when you get the device back.
Then once you get the device back you don't have to start all the way from the beginning with htc-dev, just use the same unlock code you got the first time(if you don't have it saved you can check the email it was sent in), and then proceed from the last step that was flash it in adb to unlock your phone again
Yeah sorry I meant relock as in lock bootlosder so on top it says *LOCKED*
