Just run a stock ruu .exe from the shipped roms collection thread in development.
That will return you to s-on.

Not so. I flashed an RUU the other day, and although it flashed back to a stock recovery, the Revolutionary hboot image remained.

Well you are in a different situation because you used revolutionary.
Revolutionary was designed in such a way that running ruu's would not affect the hboot.
Follow these steps here

Ah, that clears it up then. Thanks for pointing that out.

Alright thanks so much! Are there any issues I may run into when doing this, or a guide on how to install the stock?

Hit the search button or check out the guides in the development section for flashing a ROM.

So, what is the recommended way to root if Revolutionary can't be undone by running an RUU?

There is a way to completely undo Revolutionary. Just search this forum, it's been documented and posted here before.

Is Revolutionary the best root method these days?

I just got mine back from repair (noisy earpiece). I ran the ruu before I sent it back to CPW but left it S-off'd, as it was an xtc clip job. I don't think CPW even checked, as no charge for the repair. It came back re flashed to stock but still S-off'd.

So a stock ruu is flashed just like any other rom?

Also, which ruu is for virgin mobile canada? Sorry I'm new to this all and it gets confusing, after I return to the ruu can I re root my phone after servicing?

You can downgrade your hboot then flash the ruu it will update your phones hboot and get it back to stock s-on

Do I have to relock bootloader prior to running this procedure?
Sent from my HTC Raider 4G using xda premium

No, there is no need, it must be unlocked while doing s-off

I am S-OFF
I confirm that this procedure works with Bell HTC Raider 4G LTE! I am now S-OFF/ICS!

After doing this we can flash any of the ics roms? Or since its using the att ruu do we need to stick to the att roms?

you can flash any ICS rom and it`s boot (which is inside it)

The updated hboot is what matters for the kernel purpose if the Rom runs a 3.0 or higher kernel you would need this ICS hboot ..

First off, THanks!
Secondly, The link is not working for step 3.
Also if I am already s-off I can skip step 1 correct?
And when I unlock bootloader thru HTC dev, I select HTC Vivid?
THanks again!

Worked great!
Followed the directions and am now running ICS - flashed to the dark raider 1.1 rom from another thread after and it works great.. was going to try wc's illuminati rom but the link on his site starts out downloading at about 30k/sec and then steadily drops to zero before i get over 60mb.. anyone have a copy they want to mirror or know of another mirror hosting that rom? I know he's not on xda anymore..that's a shame tho he's a good dev.
Anyway thanks for the guide to get ics for us raider users! Worked perfectly!
Sorry for the dumb question about flasing the cingular ruu first, i didn't realize the first ruu it points to was a gb vivid ruu. makes perfect sense now.. lol...sense.. no pun intended..lol

Unlock as you unlocked before doing any changes. If your not having HTC vivid then don't select HTC vivid. If you have raider the simple select others.

No problem, have fun

When I run the ruu's im in fastboot correct? Searching around I've seen different methods. Just trying to confirm. From the instructions it looks like everythings pretty much done while in the bootloader.

Trying to unlock the bootloader with my old token isn't working. Getting a remote unlocktoken check fail. Do I need to redo htc dev as a vivid? Sorry for the questions, after spending all that time trying to get s-off my brain is tired lol
Ok so I ran the ruu's while in fastboot and I had to redo the unlock as if the phone was a vivid and get a new token and now all is well. At least if anyone has a dead brain moment like me they will see this and know

[Q] Roms not compatible with Velocity

Hey,
iv'e got an HTC Velocity 4G (Vodafone Germany) running RUU with Android 2.3.
Locked Bootloader, WXC Recovery, Root and S-OFF.
I've tried many Roms but it didn't worked.
I've done everything from the Superguide, only one Step wasn't possible.
After getting S-Off i couldn't update the H-Boot.
I still have a Gingerbread H-Boot.
Is that why all the Roms don't work?

Thanks, i managed to update my Hboot. Now i've got an ics hboot =)
But unfortunatelly flashing ROM's still don't work for some reasons
When i flash the zip files with WCX, i wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvic cache then go install the zip rom.
I tried De-Sensed1.6 from Wajee and Holics, after successfully flashing, i reboot and the Roms won't start --> Bootloop or back zu recovery
Then i restore my backup and everything works.
Maybe, those ROMs don't work for my device

An S-Off phone is an open phone. Allows you to write, change and access the root to your phone, as well as installing custom ROM´s..

S-On also allows this, however neither the radio nor kernel can be flashed in CWM, therefore usually the boot.img has to be flashed separately via fastboot after a ROM flash. Some roms manage to flash this automatically at first boot however. The HTC One is currently S-On only.

So if you're rooted it's scoff is that right

I don't think so. From how I understand it, you can be rooted and still be either s-on OR s-off. The difference is that s-off allows you to flash radios and kernels directly through recovery whereas if you're s-on, you have to flash them through fastboot, as the last guy to reply stated.

At the moment, the only form of root is unlocked s-on. So if you decide to go that route, you're gonna be flashing the boot.img after you flash a rom and no firmware updates (radio)

Not going to work. If you flash an international ROM you hose your storage partitions. Generally the only way to recover from this is via an RUU, but I'm guessing the user is S-ON so they'll have to wait for an updated RUU to turn up.

Need to try to get s-off, which will allow you to flash older ruu. Also I suggest in the future you read OP of any Rom you want to flash to make sure it's compatible with sprint

i have flashe internatinal rom trying to fix my gsm signal on my unlocked sprint htc one with no luck and the same has happened so ive fixed it by flashing recovery with the one click too or by using adb. Im s-off and unlocked though

same thing
I did the exact same thing. Flashed the revolution rom and selected the international version of it because it said that one applies to all carriers not listed below. stupid thing to overlook on my part. at first after doing so I was unable to get into my recovery then i used fastboot erase cache and once i did that I was able to fastboot flash the recovery image and navigate into it from the bootloader. ive tried everything i could think of once in my recovery, which is a version of cwm btw. Ive formatted data, erased cache and delvik, after that i tried installing my cyanogen 10.1 zip which i was successfully running without any problems for a day before i got greedy and tried to flash that international rom :crying: i made a backup of that working one but regardless of what I try doing whether it be restoring the back up that was working properly or re installing the cyan zip, every time it starts booting for about 30 secs then crashes reboots and tries again. it continues this loop for eternity and theres nothing i can do.looks like somebody said i messed up my internal storage partitions and im sol until a new ruu update comes out. I would greatly appreciate if someone would elaborate on that or point me in the direction of a good place to do some research on it. my bootloader says tampered, unlocked, s-on. there was also somebody that said try to get s-off and flash and older ruu. is this a possible fix?? i dont care how hard it is ill figure it out but right now im hurting for some help or direction. i appreciate any help. thanks

Are you trying this in fastboot? If you are just in the bootloader then the computer won't detect anything, but if you're in fastboot mode your computer should at least register an unknown device. And I don't think there are any 4.3 RUU's yet either...

You need to RUU, try this and see if it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44243635
You might be screwed in till there is an updated RUU.
