Note: You *MUST* be s-OFF for this to work properly. If you're not, it won't work.
1. Download this zip file: http://www.mediafire.com/?mi4utrhbacdbbxt mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LSR7QG9W
2. Rename it to PB31IMG.zip (uppercase name and lowercase extension matters, make sure it's not .zip.zip also) and push it to the root of your sdcard, so it's /sdcard/PB31IMG.zip
2 1/2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP (in case you ever want to go back)
3. Reboot into HBOOT by holding vol down while booting up, or by typing "adb reboot oem-42"
4. Hit vol-up when it asks if you want to apply the zip.
5. Wait for it to finish, then reboot when it asks you to.
Congrats, now you're back to stock 2.1-update1 with the original 1.00 radio.
thanks to aiccucs for his work in compiling the stock zip!
Cheers, mate.
just curious but don't you also need to put back the stock recovery back on? and that zip is stock without root, right?

Completely stock without root. Includes stock system, kernel, recovery, radio, and HBOOT as well as a data wipe. The only thing not stock is the fact you're still going to be S-OFF, but that's nothing really to worry about. VZW techs don't really know how to check that .
Doing this will 100% allow you to receive the OTA when Verizon finally releases it right?

good work A++++
I had originally pulled the stock Rom image from the RUU (ran the RUU and snagged the image from the temp folder). I was able to flash back to that but had to do some trickery first pushing some files over to the phone in and then running some commands in ADB. Is this just that same image extracted directly from the stock RUU? Or has this been modified in some way?
I'm assuming it's either been modified to allow flashing without pushing those other two files first, or s-off disables the check that would normally throw a "image you are attempting to flash is older" error.
I thought we could just flash stock recovery and apply the OTA... This route, we lose all our settings and apps, correct?

And having S-Off, if VZW tries to remove our root ability, all we would have to do is install SU back on correct?
Can't you just apply the ruu's with the new clockworkmod?

I got the following quote from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
"How can I use S-OFF to recover from an unrooted update?
S-OFF gives your device permanent NAND unlock in the booted system, and also disables HBOOT's signature checking on firmware zip files. So, even if you take a OTA that has not been rooted, you can simply flash a new recovery that allows you to install su, and use that to restore yourself to a fully rooted system. We have provided ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra recovery images for you to use for this purpose. "

Yeah, I don't think we need to revert to original hboot/radio/etc... I think we just need stock recovery and a stock rom to get the OTA

I would hope this option is the case because I never updated my radio (still on 1.xx), so if I used the method in this thread wouldn't I risk bricking because I'd be flashing the radio on top of itself?

Also know if your rooted with s-on you cannot flash proper otas because the signature check is there and it want allow you to flash a legit signed ota with clockwork. Also know if you accept the ota you will loose root. And won't be able to gain it back without s-off. I really don't understand why people are so apprehensive. Live a little man. It's just a phone. Not a ferrari. Even though it runs like one.
ok so the s off works now! so you can use this thread to talk about it. but i do have a question....
so now that we have s-off. how do you flash kernels? and recoveries? do we kust install the rom folder withought flashing the kernel that is inside the rom folder?

I believe you still have to flash the kernel separate from the rom. The only difference now would be instead of fastboot flashing the kernel you flash it through recovery.

I wouldn't try anything like that yet. Wait for the dev's to set everything up. That is what I did on another phone. HTC is a bit different, may be you flash only the zip file containing the rom and kernel. I do believe that on HTC most phones do allow you to flash one file instead of having to flash separate files unless you wanted a different kernel then the one provided. You would do this in recovery by flashing a zip file.

Easiest way is to supercid, then you can run the RUU or even just flash the Rom.zip. either will work (I did the latter since I use linux.) Then you can use any Rom. Ics needs the hboot update from the ruu

Just follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1612685
Once you've got recovery installed and your rooted you can install any of the ICS roms. Some of them have already been updated so you don't have to flash the kernal anymore since we have s-off. Just make sure to check the instructions for the individual roms to see if you have to or not
I didn't run any ruu. Didn't relock my bootloader nothing like that. The simplest and least likely way of messing anything up I found was extract the ruu for ics. There will be a zip.called Rom.zip. I removed the hboot update itself (we don't need that one) from the zip. Then I.did fastboot reboot OEM-42. Fastboot flash zip Rom.zip.
Took a few minutes to flash. Rebooted and everything was working. The hboot I have is already higher (the one they included with juoponutbear) then the is update. But you need to get the new firmware from the ruu fo be flashed still.
Follow the guide previously posted and you should be fine tho. I just used a slightly different method to do.it myself

S-off is security off. It allows you to write to partitions you aren't able to write to with just an unlocked bootloader. This was important for users who didn't get an official ICS update from their carrier. Without an official update, they didn't have an ICS HBoot and couldn't run ICS ROMs. With s-off, you can flash custom/unsigned HBoot so ICS is available for those users. That's s-off's main purpose for this device, but has a bunch of other uses. However, s-off is not necessary unless you want ICS and don't have an official update from your carrier. You can also flash radios, splash screens, boot.img from recovery, etc, etc

No. To flash a custom recovery all you need is an unlocked bootloader. Recovery is one of the partitions you can fastboot flash without s-off or an eng bootloader

I see you have ATT, which means you have a Vivid, so S-Off is NOT necessary for flashing ROMs. If the Vivid came with ICS, you're all set to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, flash boot.img, and flash ROM. If your Vivid currently has GB, you'll want to run an ICS RUU first (relock bootloader first if it is currently unlocked), then unlock, etc

Not necessary but makes it easier. There are other options: (boot.img is usually found in the rom zip file.)
1. Fastboot boot recovery.img - command from terminal/CMD
2. Fastboot flash boot boot.img - command from terminal/CMD
3. Flashimage GUI (app is in Themes and Apps section)
Any of these options will work.

I've tried many different roms from stock .12 roms, to revolution 10.2
What happens if you try flashing a ROM, do
Code:
adb logcat
on your computer and boot your phone while connected?
Sounds like you have a problem.
The logcat will help find the issue, so do that for sure. Also, what method did you use for unlocking, and for s-off?

standard stuff then. Just had to ask, because some time peopl say things without knowing (they S-offed a Vivid using titanium backup.)
Okay, first things first. Update the firmware. This is super simple. There are tons of threads on the HTC One forums with guides, etc.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the whole device (un s-off, un root, relock bootloader,) then do it all again.it should work after that
(you could flash a RUU instead, and then re-flash a custom recovery, and new roms.

Your phone does not have to be rooted (installed supersu.apk , superuser.apk ... ) to flash a cutom rom.
If you want to unroot any custom rom, you simply have to remove the superuser.apk / supersu.apk. And you normally wont have any problem

I'm familiar with flashing Samsung and Nexus devices, but HTC is new to me.
If I understand correctly, I just need to:
- Unlock device via htcdev.com
- Copy custom rom to internal storage
- Backup internal storage
- Boot to recovery (do I need to flash a custom recovery?)
- Install custom rom
Is that correct?
You will need a custom recovery, yes. Why don't you want root access?

I'm enjoying our start to the season while it lasts!
Anyway, back on topic, I'm actually really enjoying the stock Sense rom (pretty amazing experience comared to Touchwiz on Sammy devices), so I think I'll try a 4.3 Sense based rom. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally as close to stock with as few mods as possible.
I'm looking at a few of the available roms now, but none of them really stand out as the one to go for.
Finally - when I unlock my bootloader, the device will be wiped - so how much (if any?) of my set up and data will be saved / restored via HTC backup when I install a 4.3 sense based rom?
I actually love Sense 5 but today I've put the latest GPe build on my phone (100% stock as I have no need to root). I had a Nexus 4 before so it's nice to see a full HD stock Android build that all works as it should
Once HTC release the official 4.3 Sense update I'll go back to stock again

Anyway, back on topic, I'm actually really enjoying the stock Sense rom (pretty amazing experience comared to Touchwiz on Sammy devices), so I think I'll try a 4.3 Sense based rom. Do you have any recommendations? Ideally as close to stock with as few mods as possible.
I'm looking at a few of the available roms now, but none of them really stand out as the one to go for.
Finally - when I unlock my bootloader, the device will be wiped - so how much (if any?) of my set up and data will be saved / restored via HTC backup when I install a 4.3 sense based rom?

I am using ViperOne and i LOVE it! If you want something almost stock, i would recommend AndroidRevolutionHD
in my case it did not restore anything by HTC backup. I do not use it. I am setting up everything by myself when i install a new rom. (of course not contacts, etc, this is restored by my google account)
Great, thanks MICH

No possible. Unless you are S-Off, which is unlikely. You need root to install custom roms with S-Off (most likely your case).
After you install custom roms you may not like it and want to go back to stock so you can get normal upgrades to 4.2.2 or 4.3. Then you need to
relock your bootloader and flash a RUU.zip which is the stock 4.1.2.

The information you're giving people is incorrect.

Why are you flooding the forum with this video?

Why are you advising everyone to use an RUU?

Stop it.

Oops. Typo. Let me restate it. You need root if you are S-On. You don't need root if you are S-Off.
