[Q] HTC Warranty and going back to stock - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
A couple of questions, here is my current situation:
ROM: Vipper 2.6
Cid:vodap001
S-on
Device : PN0710000
Boot loader 1.54.0000
Bootloader is unlocked and has the messaged TAMPERED. I need to send the phone back to HTC for repair as I have a display issue.
How do I get rid of the TAMPERED message, guessing reloocking the bootloader can be done via adb\fastboot ?
If the steps I need to do requires me to be S-OFF, I can send the phone to fonefunshop to get that completed.
I just need to know the steps I should take to achieve the above.
Also need a nandroid backup for CID: VODAP001 (anyone?)
If I manage to remove the TAMPERED message and get the bootloader to show as locked, do I need to change the CID number back to VODAP001 and do I need to go back to S-ON ?

A good read for you :fingers-crossed:
The search option would have given you Mikes thread :highfive:

I should add there is no RUU for my CID. Also, instead of RELOCKED, can you get it to show LOCKED ?
Or does that not matter if sending the phone back for repair ?

You can only get it to show LOCKED if you're on hboot 1.44 and use revone to S-Off, then remove TAMPERED and change to LOCKED.

Thanks, If I get S-OFF on hboot 1.54, can I downgrade to 1.44 ?

Yes, once you're S-Off you can downgrade using any RUU. But you can't S-Off 1.54 at the moment (unless you know someone with a JavaCard)

I can, there is a place in Sheffield, England that can S-OFF hboot 1.54 all for the sum of £12.99
Think a couple of chaps on here have already had it done.

No resolution for this?
I'm S-ON, hboot 1.54, CID=VODAP001.
As I understand things, i cant S-OFF because i'm on hboot 1.54 and Revone doesnt work on 1.54.
I cant use SuperCID because i'm S-ON
I cant flash any firmware unless the CID=VODAP001
(and now I wont get any OTA's as i went ahead an flashed a new ROM)
So i'm slightly stuck until either someone finds a way to S-OFF the hboot 1.54 or we track down a nandroid backup or RUU for CID=VODAP001

Yes I did.
You want to use Rumrunner to achieve S-OFF (assuming you are on hboot 1.54 and S-ON like I was).
Full details are available at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488772
Make sure to pay attention to the various requirements. It does work. I am now S-OFF, hboot 1.55 and SuperCID and have been able to flash new Firmware without issues.

He probably got while still on hboot 1.44 (pre June 2013), and then just upgraded the firmware (including hboot to 1.54), that would not change S-Off status.

Exactly that ^
bobs ur uncle, fanny's ur aunt etc..........................
I guess it would be a good idea to post some pointers regarding this issue.
If you're s-on and on fw 1.54, you can't use revone to s-off.
Since you can't s-off, you are limited to flashing only RUUs that are compatible with your CID AND same or higher fw than you currently have on your device.
So to sum it all up, if you are on a higher fw than 1.44 and s-on, you are stuck there. The only possible way to s-off might be using a java card but I personally wouldn't go that way, even if you found some place that can do it.

So if going from 1.55 back to 1.44 is not possible. And Getting S-OFF with 1.55 is not possible.
Would Sprint be able to reflash my phone with either a working 1.55 or 1.44?

Try to s-off your phone with hboot 1.54 using rumrunner.

[Q] About 1.54 to 1.44 hboot

Hello everyone,
my phone statement is;
1.54 hboot, S-ON, HTC Unlocked, 2.24.401.x FW.
I just found local service in my city for s-off on 1.54 hboot via javacard. I will use that service. And i have questions:
after getting s-off on 1.54;
- How can i downgrade hboot to 1.44? RUU is enough for this?
- Is there a any other method?
- Is Nandroid backups contain hboot part?
- Can i write super CID on 1.54 S-OFF?
- Can i delete "Tempered" flag when i gain s-off on hboot 1.54?
Thank you,

If you are getting s-off why would you want to go back to 1.44 hboot?
i want back to stock completly. i ll comeback 1.54 via OTA.

Well to start off at the moment you can't s-off on hboot 1.54 at the moment that is after it is available till would be able to flash any hboot so you would be able to go completely stock

So you're going to pay for S-Off and then intentionally get rid of S-Off, and then upgrade, preventing you from gaining S-Off without paying again?
You know, it's probably best to leave it S-Off.
The OTA doesn't remove S-OFF, I went from 1.44 to 1.54 with no issues

Once the OP pays the shop to S-OFF the phone on 1.54 using the java card method he can use any RUU to go back

[Q] Downgrade Hboot 1.54 to 1.44?

Ok so i have searched but unable to find an answer to my question.
I want to downgrade my Hboot from 1.54 back to 1.44. I do have s-off. I s-offed when my hboot was on 1.44 using revone. My hboot was upgraded after doing a firmware update.
So i need to send my phone in for repairs (the infamous purple camera) and i want to downgrade so I can return to stock, remove "tampered" and relock.
As stated I am currently S-off and have read its possible to downgrade if you are s-off, just need to be pointed in the right direction

I wouldn't downgrade and s-on for warranty, it isn't necessary, they won't check and you will regret it because you will get back your phone s-on and upgraded to hboot 1.54, so non-s-offable for now. I did it too without any problems.
Just make you phone stock again (install a stock ruu is it is available), lock (not relock) your phone and remove tampered flag (running an ruu would remove it, if there is no ruu do it first because revone won't work without root on hboot 1.54)
BTW purple camera is just software whitebalance problem not a hardware problem
You just need to downgradethe firmware. It contains the hboot.
But as @godutch said, it's not necessary.

Ok cool, thanks guys, so I just need a flash a firmware zip containing 1.44 Hboot and im good to go?
Basically i just want to get rid of the tampered flag.
Iv done the 4.3 upgrades with supposedly fix the camera but its made no effect on mine :crying: so the only other option I have to try and get them to change the camera module.
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated. You will get a thanks each
you don't need to downgrade. h-boot 1.54 is normal and considerated STOCK for devices who made OTA update.

I had my phone repaired twice and they didn't say any thing about the boot loader being unlock. However, since that I have s-off and the phone needs to go to repair for the microphone not working and I wonder if I could either s-on and lock the boot loader with hboot 1.55? If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

not recommended, as far as i've seen, going from s-off to s-on (on 100% stock everything), after a few reboots, has a high chance of resulting in "tamper detected - rebooting" and the TAMPERED sign is back.

HOW TO?? Want to return stock....

Hello all.. my question is very basic..
I have an open bootloader, twrp recovery and S-ON
how do I return stock pleaassee!!

You need s-off for 100% stock and ***LOCKED*** Bootloader. The reason Is you can't downgrade firmware and remove tampered with s-on.
You need s-off to remove tampered and set bootloader to ***LOCKED*** . And because HTC patched newer firmware you must downgrade before you set ***LOCKED*** or you risk the tampered flag returning after your back to stock.

Hboot 1.54, 1.55 can still gain s-off with rumrunner
Hboot 1.44 can still gain s-off with revone.
If your on hboot 1.56 or above then unfortunately the only way to gain s-off is Sunshine App which cost $25. HTC patched newer firmware against other methods of s-off.
