If you are returning your phone for service then you can run an RUU if your phone has one.
It will reset everything back to stock, even the firmware. Check here:

If your s-off then a RUU can downgrade your firmware. (I did this on a phone I returned for service without issues) If you are still s-on I don't think it will.
You just download the RUU.exe and run it on your PC and it guides you through resetting everything on the phone.

thank you very much,i'll try it.if there aren't my ruus of region,I use other region ruu,can I get warranty?

That depends on the carrier/vendor. If you don't have a RUU you could also run an RUU for another area (Since your S-off) to downgrade the firmware and then root it and use one of the posted stock nandroids to restore to your proper areas stock config. Then do the stuff to re-lock your bootloader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43458497

I can back to stock rom,but firmware version can't change,because there aren't ruu of HongKong,any ideas to change firmware version?

Since your S-off you can change your CID to use another RUU like this one:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...14325013-1033115001-release-311678-signedexe/
The RUU will set the device firmware back to stock. Then restore your stock ROM and you should be ok.
Also if you have it stock rom and setup now, you may just want to put S-on so that it says Locked and S-on on bootloader and your vendor will probably not care about the firmware version.

The red warning in hboot is from being unlocked. Once you have back to stock (especially recovery) then the red warning will be gone. For sure after re-locking.

how can I backup stock recovery?
because there are not ruu of HK,so I should use TWRP to restore nandroid backup from HK htc one. then back to stock recovery .

Yes you would TWRP to restore and then flash the stock recovery and relock.
Here is a post where I helped another and it has the stock recovery and instructions for flashing if needed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43625746&postcount=17
Just an FYI that this method will not downgrade the firmware, but just get you back to locked and a stock look, but with the newer firmware.
Let me know if you need something else.

Well i hope your S-Off so you flash a 4.1.2 RUU because there aren`t any 4.2.2 RUU`s available afaik atm. Or flash this 4.2.2 (odexed) rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752 in recovery. After that flash the stock recovery.img ( also on the linked site) in fastboot and do fastboot erase cache. After that relock bootloader in fastboot: fastboot oem lock. Then at the end do a data factory reset. Look here also for going back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738.

What is S-off? I have Superuser installed, I have another problem, I don't know what my old SUU was, it is updated to 2.24.401.2 CL211355 release-keys

I just checked and found S-On, am I stuck?

What version is the Hboot?
If you have 1.44.00 go to revone and get S-Off, link to revone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582. Then you can flash almost any RUU. Or restore a nandroid backup, link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874

[Q] Australia unbranded wanted to go complete STOCK

Firstly, Aussie dont have RUU, so I am going to use Europe since aussie are 1.28.980.17 for 4.1.2
Currently, I am on stock 4.2.2 with CWM recovery and "RELOCKED" bootloader (I typed fastboot oem lock) and s-off.
But, I want to try this and not quite sure if it is going to work or not.
1. Since I relocked bootloader, I cant flash stock recovery.
2. Use RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe to get 1.44 hboot.
3. unlock bootloader again using revone
4. Flash CWM then restore from my own 4.1.2 CWM backup.
5. Flash stock 1.29.980.17 firmware.zip
6. Lock bootloader and s-on
7. OTA update for 4.2.2
Is this going to work?
Thanks in advance :laugh:

Your method will work, but you could also see if someone has uploaded a nandroid backup of your Aussie stock. Just a thought.

So flashing RUU doesnt require unlocked bootloader. is it right?
Yeah I saw aussie stock unbranded CWM as well.
Thanks!!
BTW, after I restore from nandroid backup, then receive OTA of 4.2.2, does that contains 4.2.2 firmware.zip as well?
If it is, then I do not need flash 1.29.980.17 firmware.zip before right?

4.2.2. OTA, as far as I know, will contain the firmware, but you could flash it just to make sure everything is right. All the OTA will do is write over it anyway, so no harm, no foul either way. I would double check what firmware you need for the rom you're flashing, just to be sure.
Here's a link to that nandroid backup, too. Hope it goes smoothly.

I successfully flashed Europe RUU with 1.44 hboot!
Now I am restoring nandroid 4.1.2 backup. I still need aussie 4.1.2 firmware.zip as well right?

You do realise that if you go to S On then update to 4.2.2 you will have hboot 1.54 and will be unable to get S Off back ?

Is the phone 100% stock? If you've made ANY changes, no matter how small, it won't flash

I would flash a stock unrooted rom, but whatever you do make sure that the hboot is correct, and recovery if stock is required, match the build version of the 4.2.2 rom you're running.

I have no idea how to do that. Can I still leave the Mid as HTC_Y13 instead of the one that was before which is HTC_001?

RUU question

Ok, I originally was on the stock 4.3 rom that I received by OTA. I ran this for a while without root.
I finally rooted and flashed ARHD 31...therefore my rom was updated to the new sense 5.5, but my firmware was still based on 4.3 with sense 5.0
I didn't make a nandroid (dumb mistake)...I am looking to gain s-off so I can update my firmware.
I am wondering the safest way to do this...do I need to RUU back to 4.3, and if I do that, do I have to lock the bootloader back prior to RUUing? or after?
Also, is there a RUU posted for 4.3 att sense 5?
Any help would be appreciated...in the end all I am trying to accomplish is achieve s-off.
thanks

You could use http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip-m7_ul_jb43_sense50_mr_cingular_us_3-17-502-3-decrypted-zip/
or
http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...3_10-38j-1157-04_release_334235_signed_2-exe/
You need to be locked/relocked before flashing the ruu.
