Personally, I always trade or sell phones in the condition I got mine in. I would go through the steps to S-ON, unroot, etc. Let me know if you need any help on doing any of that. Easiest way would be to flash the 1.29 RUU, reroot, S-ON (and maybe get rid of the tampered), then reflash the 1.29 RUU again. You should be back to complete stock. He can do the OTA upgrades himself.

Ah. That would make it harder. There are some people who are getting 8.1 to work so maybe you can do some digging around. Sorry I couldn't be of any help!

i have traded many rooted devices. 9 times out of 10 if u try to tell people it is rooted they don't know what the hell u are talking about. this guy being a sprint person he probably does but just because he works for sprint doesn't mean he does. when i sell or trade a rooted device all i do is load the 100 percent stock rom on there and don't even mention it is rooted. to directly answer your question, i would put stock rooted rom with no extras on there and hand it over. i don't know why everyone is sooo afraid sprint finding rooted phones. as long as u r running stock software builds i have never had any problems. i have even exchanged rooted devices and turned in rooted devices for credit on my new phone.
I'd let him know and tell him you can set it back to stock for him if he'd like. Do him a favor though, don't go S-ON. Chances are he'll take as is though.
He's going to know its rooted even if you dont tell him.. They arent stupid

Some guys are there just because its a job, others they have a passion for mobile tech. I'd just tell him its rooted, if he don't know what that means then it won't matter. If he does then one less thing hell have to do as far as the hassle of unlocking and s-off is concerned.
Always sell things the easiest way for everything to be done universally. For example, if you keep S-Off the person buying it in the end can easily place the Sec Flag back to on even without root, relock OR keep it unlocked, I am not picky about Sec Flag but bootloader being unlocked I am. So might as well keep S-Off because it isn't going to take away the ability to root or accept an OTA but WILL give the End User the ability to downgrade if they do root 4.3 and wants to go back to unrooted properly. S-Off and Unlocked will both still get OTAs easily. No matter what you do, go ahead and run the RUU to bring it back to bone stock abd accept all OTAs to get to 4.3 for them then do an FDR and give it to them with S-Off so they can downgrade if they want to.

can someone help me unrooting. i need to take my phoone to repairs lol
Use the Sprint RUU to unroot. Make sure you use the one in the unrooting thread (.5 version) and not the latest (.6). It'll make it easier to re-root later.
And this should be in Q&A or General.
can i untroot back to 1.5? where can i find the sprint ruu
Why go back to 1.5, 2.1 is official now. And it is possible, just depends if you have e ever updated hboot

I also need to send my phone in for service. I have hboot 1.41. Is there anything else I need to be worried about? Can I just run the latest official RUU from HTC and be done with it? I've read about people messing stuff up that way but maybe that is the test RUU or something.
tell Sprint your phone fell in the toilet full of sh** i doubt they'll want your phone back then.

Hi my HTC One is one of the units that has the purple haze with photos at night (so ironic because it's supposed to be good in low light...) and it's gotten worse so I want to return it back to Sprint (I also have the insurance).
The store said that I can return it to Sprint and see if they can fix or replace it. However, I wasn't sure if they accept rooted phones or it voids the eligibility? I've had this issue even when it was stock and unrooted but I thought it could be fixed with a custom rom lol.
So I just wanted to know if I need to go through the process of unrooting it and bringing everything back to stock to return first?
I saw this and wondering if it was too good to be true? I'd much rather not go through the process of unrooting if I don't need to.

yes rooting voids the warranty of the device.. they get to know the tampering when they see ***tampered*** and ***unlocked*** flags... anyways you can run a ruu a return it to fully stock and get ***locked*** flag easliy... which will give back your warranty...:good:

Thanks so just curious when running the RUU, is it okay that the ROM i'm currently on is a 4.4? (Badboy) I read that it needs to be S-Off and I think mine is S-On. Does that prevent me from running the RUU?

no it will not prevent it from running RUU but if you want you can mask that s-off flag by s-on... just google it..:laugh:
Thanks a lot everyone! I just ended up doing the RUU and returning it to stock .
One weird thing was that I ended up using Hasoon's all in one toolkit and it initially couldn't detect the device (error: device offline). I think it has something to do with the new Android SDK. Is the toolkit out of date now? Do people still use it?
I just ended up manually going to bootloader and then just relocking it through hasoon that way but just curious if it's advisable to continue using the all in one toolkit or if it is too outdated.
Hey guys, I just bought this phone yesterday from AT&T. Just out of the box I received an OTA update, which I thought was the KK update. But no, I am stuck on android 4.1.2 and Sense 5.0, and when I try to update, all I get is a message saying that everything is up to date and there are no updates available for me.
I am on the AT&T network at the time, and my phone is completely stock, no mod whatsoever. Any ideas what is going on????
You might want to exchange for a new unit or request for them to update, for all we know applying solutions suggested by us might just void the warranty instead.

use this RUU to get to 4.3 >> http://androidruu.com/getdownload.p...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
you need locked / relocked bootloader
being your on 4.1.2 now would be a great time to get s-off before doing the ruu update. check this guide for getting s-off

+1 .. do it now!
Lets say I don't do S-Off (i don't really know what that is, my earlier phone was a crappy samsung) and I do the update with the RUU, will I be able to do S-Off later???
The thing is that i don't want to void the warranty. Coming from a really bad phone, where I had to mod EVERYTHING to get it working acceptably, I would really like to settle down and be stock for a while. Of course, that feeling will probably last a few months and then I will be flashing roms every 2 days lol.
If I flash the RUU manually, that doesn't void the warranty right? I mean, its an official firmware i suppose. On the other hand, if I can only do the S-Off thing right now, i might consider staying a while longer with 4.1.2 ... after all it is not so bad.

Mmm I think I'll start reading more before I make any decisions. Eventually I will root and install custom rims and kernels, so I'd like to keep my options open. If it's HARD but not impossible I might upgrade and stay stock.
Would you say there's a big difference between 4.1.2 / Sense 5.0 and 4.3 / Sense 5.5 ???
It's not that hard really.. i decided to s-off when im already running a KK rom. Firewater worked like a charm.

Gain S-Off now, and forever be happy. I never cared about OTA when I had that phone, I could run any RUU I wanted to, I changed from ATT to Dev, to GPE and back so many times. Just awesome.

Until you get whelped..
My M7 isn't rooted, nor does it have any mods. It is and has always been 100% stock. Last week I received the OTA update to Lollipop and since then I'm experiencing a lot of problems (like so many others). But even without the problems, I just don't like Lollipop. I don't like the new notifications, I don't like the new toggles, etc. So I would like to go back to KitKat. I have found a few tutorials but all assume your M7 isn't stock. And like I said, mine is.
A few questions:
Does the fact that my M7 is still 100% stock make reverting to KitKat easier?
It's been many years since I last flashed my phone (it was a HD2) so I really don't remember what's involved. I do remember however I need the proper RUU. How do I find out which RUU I need (I'm in the Netherlands)?
Are there any tutorials that explain how to go from stock Lollipop to stock KitKat?
If these questions have been answered a thousand times before, I apologize. I just couldn't find those answers then.

should really post this in the help and support section.
but if you are 100% pure stock then the only way you can back flash is to get s-off first, and that will cost you $25 using sunshine s-off tool, there is no other way to backflash.
also if you do decide to get s-off and go back to kitkat, your phone will constantly nagg you and give you notifications about the Lollipop update.

well post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number so we can locate the correct stock files and then get s-off using this: http://theroot.ninja/
Re $25, I did not pay for getting S-Off, I do remember the procedure was pretty much automatic and simple.
If you need to go s-off, but don't know how, pls let me know - I will look into my old files.
PS. I like the new Lollipop UI. But, power management is something that makes me think of rolling back to KitKat, too. I'm rooted and s-off, though.

Sunshine as far as I know is the only way to s-off HBOOT 1.61, 1.60, and 1.57, unless you have used it before, then its free to s-off the same device again, you only ever pay once.
and @Zippy1970 will be on 1.61 HBOOT as he has the official 100% stock update.

So Im no noob to android nor the rom/rooting crap. But i come from nexus devices and we all know how super simple those are to use and return to stock. I dont understand the HTC crap. I bought this m9 and thought it was going to be dev friendly like nexus's are but I was wrong. This is what I did. Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP (and before I made the backup, I set it to r/w) then i made a stock backup that was set on R/W and did some other things like flashing CM etc.. My question is, if i wanted to return to stock and be able to receive OTAs, what must I do. Would downloading a stock nandroid from here be enough or must I run an RUU(which i dont understand). Also, I still have S-ON and have not modified that. If read some guides but Im still confused. Nothing like a nexus. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks (tmobile USA)

Your best bet is to run the RUU exe from your pc, its very simple and takes about 10 min. It wipes everything and put you back to 100% stock.
it will not change your unlocked bootloader or S-on/S-off. keep in mind since you are S-on you can only use the RUU for the current version that is on your phone, you cant go back to earlier version
you can get the RUU's here
also the get OTA you have to be unrooted, and have stock recovery
Hope this helps
