Unrooting is easy. Reverting s-off back to s-on Not been done or tested on this phone. And No offence I'm not going to either. U have already got unlocked bootloader anyway. So u shouldn't have s-off..... Or have u bought the clip and done it lol, but seriously if u want to Unroot follow any guide to re installing stock Ruu on HTC.
To lock your bootloader, redo the steps to unlock it. But this time the last cmd is changed and voila, locked. U will have to lock it before you do stock Ruu as you will also wipe out the cwm recovery off your phone, but as I said before, becareful, and follow instructions carefully.
If you wish to do this then Good luck ;-)
Wasn't me............ ;-)
I want to downgrade the hboot too...cause the warraty gets void if the hboot is updated to the newer version.

Follow which ever post u want then my friend. Over here, u can update the hboot and it wont invalidate the warrenty, but the minute u unlock it, its gone. Hence why u can lock it again.

Need help unrooting my rooted salsa
Hi, I recently brought a used HTC Salsa which I beleive is rooted. It seems to be using a Wildfire S ROM and I wanted to unroot to a stock ROM.
So far I'v tried to use the RUU provided for the Salsa on HTCDEV.com but i get this message "ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED" I also tried the solution provided on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437545 but those two files don't seem to exist with the RUU provided for the Salsa.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

ok...where did you get it from? phone wise
try this and see what happens, remove battery, reinsert battery, hold the volume key down and press power on.
Hboot will come up...scan and stop...copy off all the details you see.
now using volume key scroll down and select recovery second option underneath first highlighted.
if you go into a custom recovery then chances are you have root and some random rom installed.
with the phone on, go to settings, about phone, software, it will show you there what the name of the rom is, normally the owners name or design is there.
with this info we maybe able to sort something out for you....

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I got it from an e-bay style website in New Zealand, it's probably imported as this model is not available in NZ.
From Hboot I can see:
*** UNLOCKED ***

HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0558
RADIO-7.51.35.19

After going into recovery, I would say it is rooted. I don't know what an original recovery page looks like but this one says:
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
Now going into settings and software information, i see:
Android Version
2.3.5
HTC Sense version
2.1
Software number
m1ndh4x8r2180
Theres another menu that says baseband, kernal, etc. if you need any information from there.
Thanks again for your help.

your running a rom from m1ndh8x4r on sense 2.1, ripped from the wildfire s and ported to ours.
it is based on stock with a lot of extras pumped into it.
this rom is discontinued but i still have all the files for it.
good thing about this is u can have upto 1gb internal memory this way, reverting to stock you go back to 150mb ish.
we do have many different roms inc my own i have made if you want to stay this way, but if you want stock again, its gonna be tricky but can be done, you loose everything on the phone inc the recovery system and it goes back to stock. but....i only have EU/UK stock only the one you will require is not listed online....do u have ebay link to the listing?
its up to you from here....if your running the Aussie variant you won't get stock back from that region, and installing a stock from EU/UK you won't get full compatibility in the phone im afraid....
did u get an sd card with it?

Currently when i go to Manage Applications it says i have 86mb used and 64mb free, and I haven't even installed anything its fresh from the factory reset.
If i go back to stock, what do you mean I also loose the recovery system? If it doesn't come with one out of the box I really don't mind. I'm a simple user I usually only have a few apps anyway, I would just prefer to have a stock ROM until i get my head around everything, I would likse the original features like the mirror function to work.
What about the Asian World Wide English ROM, that's the RUU i attempted to use from HTCDEV.com, usually we are classified as a part of South East Asia / Australasia .
It wasn't from ebay, it was a local auction site, i sieved through the info there, nothing of importance or relevance.
No SD card I'm afraid.

i only asked for original user name. as most users have posted here at some point or another lol
SEA ruus or aisaruu won't work as the language and setup settings are different.
some other features like wifi and data are different too. Asia cant use UK roms on WiFi but EU they can etc....so each is different
my own rom is stock orientated, and has stock mirror etc with the other stock salsa features just made more appealing to use and faster, if you really do want stock let me have a look and sort the EU one i have and get it working on yours. i would suggest having root though....makes this redundant HTC model more usable in the long run lol

oh... the user was Gareth aka balistic (from christchurch) if that helps.
as for stock or rooted I'm really not sure any more. I'm almost indifferent as long as it's not whats on there at the moment.
I guess i could try your custom ROM first if that's not too much hassle? and maybe go back to stock if possible.

Okay thanks, i'll give it a go.
As for 'the RUU that's meant for my region' how do i find out? Like i said in my first post, this model was never officially released in NZ, as long as it's an unbranded non-carrier version I'm happy. Most likely Europe or asia. I'v attached a screenshot of what i can see on HTC-dev. Closest to my region would be the last one from Hutch Australia, I guess.

Hit the sack early last night after a lot of reading.
Where can I find detailed instructions on how to flash your rom, so far the closest I've gotten is this:
Installation
Please follow these simple instructions...
Failure to do this will result in
unknown issues and NO SUPPORT from us.
1-Triple wipe (data/cache/davlik)
2-Flash rom
3-Boot rom and setup (language/wifi etc)
4-Reboot to cwm (recovery)
5-Flash data2sd script provided
6-Reboot rom and enjoy new memory
Sorry for taking up your time again.
I found your new thread with the original RUU, might give that a go if I decide to revert to the stock rom. But the instructions there might need to be a bit clearer.
Thanks
The guided instructions are task they are lol, there's no other way to say it. Use the noons flashing guide too. It breaks the recovery menu down etc. See how too get on with that.

Hi, recently the screen broke on my 2 week old HTC One.
Amazon were kind enough to send me a new one, but I had modded the hell out of the first one (using various online tutorials to root and then ROM it), and now have the need to return it.
So I followed various tutorials to try and restore it back to 100% stock. (Didn't bother making it "Locked" rather than "Unlocked").
What I did was I used the HTC One All-In-One Toolkit, and "relocked bootloader". I then tried to flash the RUU, all went well, but when I try to start it up after, it gives a blank black screen. However, after giving it a while, holding the power button, or pressing the back button sometimes results in a vibration, so I'm presuming that it is starting, but not displaying anything. I was hoping that my phone would come up in windows so I could re-flash twrp and flash Sense that way, but it does not appear.
I tried factory resetting in this state, but when I try boot it up after that, a logo comes up which is a phone, with 2 green arrows forming a circle inside it, then a green arrow pointing down inside that.
Also, flashing twrp.img seems to go well, but when select "recovery", nothing happens, it just seems to boot up normally.
I am now at a loss of ideas, as this process was suggested by all the sources I could find, and it works perfectly for them, see no reason for it not to for me.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please, please respond as quickly as possible, it has to be with Amazon by the 4th, and I have no clue what to do!
Thanks,

No, I'm S-ON, when I first did it I was a bit of a noob, and none of the tutorials I followed said anything about S-ON/S-OFF. Only just found out about it when researching how to put it back. :/
You can't access recovery because your phone is locked, so first off you need to unlock again your phone

adb commands work in recovery too.
either use "adp push rom.zip /sdcard/" or use the sideload method
Thanks a lot guys, you've been a great help! 2 more questions for you if you don't mind:
1. The ROM I found doesn't seem to work properly, so have you got any ideas of ROMs of Sense 5, no root, so it will appear to amazon that it is stock, even if it isn't exactly, or do you know where I can get an RUU and how to flash it to get my phone back to exactly stock?
2. This won't be a big deal, but how could I achieve S-OFF to revert my HTC recovery to say "Locked" rather than "Tampered" and "Relocked"
If they aren't possible, no big deal, just would be nice if I can. Again, thanks a ton, you've saved my neck! xD
EDIT: I am downloading a different ROM to try, so hopefully that will work better.

1. Just download a stock odexed rom from the development section. There are many to choose from.
OR
Pick a RUU from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860
2. Use this link to do that. Then read the instructions on how to reset the flags.
Did amazon really replace your broken phone for free? Thats what I call customer service. Too bad I bought mine from ATT.

Yeah, I dropped it onto my carpet and the screen cracked pretty majorly, so I contacted HTC pretty annoyed (as you can expect), and they said that I must have had a dodgy model for it to have broken so easily. Amazon was reluctant but because I had HTC's word they sent me a free replacement.

You should be able to unlock your bootloader again with the unlockcode.
If I'm not mistaken, in order to flash a RUU you need to:
- Flash stock recovery.img through bootloader+fastboot
- Flash stock boot.img through bootloader+fastboot
RUU should flash now whether bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.

as long as you used that file to unlock this phone, then it will work.
Ok, I'm getting an error saying:
"Unfortunately, HTC Sense has stopped."
and also
"Unfortunately Contacts Storage has stopped."
I had the Contacts srtorage one with my old S2, which I fixed by clearing data of contacts storage, but the one about HTC sense stops anything from working.

Hello all,
I'm sorry to interrupt you all, but this is rather important!
I tried to root my girlfriends Velocity 4G which she got with her contract with A1 (austrian carrier).
I already flashed a One S and knew of the complications a root for HTC could bring.
So I tried to get everything together before flashing and then I did it...
Got the bootloader unlocked, installed TWRP and flashed sun_dreams rom.
Don't worry, I wiped all clean and think I did it the right way (already flashed 4 other phones, but samsungs').
But I seem to have missed something as I got in a neverending bootanimation (white background with green htc logo).
I know, that you sometimes have to wait a few minutes, but after about 5 minutes or so, I thought I was stuck on boot loop.
So I rebooted, flashed it again and rebooted and nothing changed.
I then read about the boot.img... So I extracted the boot.img and did a full wipe, then installed it, after that the rom and then (just to be safe) three times again the boot.img.
Rebooted and now I got the reboot loop (white background with green logo, then black, then white background again and so on)
I tried everything and as I was about to give up, read about the final solution: the RUU or PH39IMG.zip.
Now the problem is: I cant get either of them to work. At all. When trying to flash the RUU (with bootloader relocked), the programm says: "ERROR 170: No device connected".
I read about some other people having the same problem, so I tried the solution given to them: go to the first screen, then to your temp data, extract the rom.zip, rename it and flash that one, via putting it on the external sd and booting into bootloader.
Didn't work either: Wrong CID. Same for all RUUs I could find even closely related to my phone.
As I couldn't find the real correct RUU, I tried to cheat and use the goldcard to overgo the cid-problem.
Because I couldn't boot up the Velocity 4G I tried to make one with my own Galaxy S2, which worked.
Seems to be the wrong way, since it's the wrong CID anyways, when trying to install the PH39IMG (still all RUUs say ERROR 170).
I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!
greetings

I might need to mention I didn't do the S-OFF thing, as I didn#t want to mess with the hardware... Is that necessary for my problem to getting fixed?
Maybe I just need the one correct RUU for my model, but I can't find it anywhere!
please help me somebody, as I feel very guilty because of wrecking my girlfriends phone! :crying:
any help is appreciated!!!
greetings

OK... Vodafone is still on gingerbread...
Soooo... You need a gingerbread ROM... And a gingerbread boot.img... Then get it to boot...
After that I would s-off, super cid, get to ICS hboot... Then flash the ROM of your choice

So far so good... but where do I get it from?
I have this one:
RUU_HOLIDAY_SENSE3_5_Vodafone_DE_2.38.162.1_Radio_3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19_release_241518_signed
But this one won't work either...
What complicates the search, is that this phone goes by so many different names (vivid, velocity, holiday, raider, etc...)
Should I post a getvar all?
Concerning your further steps: I would be very happy to get it to run at all, maybe then think of reflashing something.
I don't know if I manage that s-off thing and I don't want to hard brick it and give it the final punch...
anyways, thanks for the fast response!
Can you get the ph39img from it?

I already did that with all the RUUs I found, but none worked...
EDIT: so I tried a solution offered by another poster in another forum which said to install CM10 on a clean wipe.
did that and it booted in the cm boot screen and loads the "first install wizard"... well, at least to the language selection screen, then it freezes and reboots again.
but at least we bought us some time at the start.

Its because of a wrong hboot...
It will happen with all of the ICS+ ROMs...
I wish you hadn't relocked your bootloader...
Can you reunlock...
Iirc there is a thread with hboot updated... Maybe try that... Or download the Wcxroot thingy and flash the juopenut hboot...

so, you're basically saying i might be able to get it to work without any RUUs or PH39IMGs?
Wow, that would be good news at last.
I already reunlocked before i flashed the CM10 rom and i didn't forget to flash the boot.img afterwards and even went back again to recovery to wipe cache and dalvik and fixed permissions.
Which one should i try?
thank you for your help!! :good:
is updating the hboot even possible without s-off?
so it seems i have to obtain s-off to flash anything else than stock rom...
as far as i read you have to be on stock ruu to obtain s-off, is that correct?
because that would be bad, as i don't have the stock ruu for my phone.
is it possible to acquire s-off without being on stock rom and would it be possible with the state my phone is in?

i already wrote a pm. do you have any ideas left? maybe try and install a gb rom and then try that ruu again?
ps: i did manage to start the ruu.exe (by reinstalling the htc sync) and it stopped with the error 131. installing the rom.zip (or PH39IMG.zip) still won't work as it says customer id check failed...

Okay, so I did manage to fix it, as it seems... :laugh:
This is what I did:
1. reunlocked bootloader
2. installed TWRP and booted into recovery
3. mounted the internal SD as mass storage
4. copied over VJRaiders GB rom
5. did a full wipe
6. installed VJRaiders rom
7. rebooted into bootloader
8. fastboot flashed the kernel found in the rom thread (twice)
9. rebooted and it worked...
I don't know how and why, but the problem seemed to be that I always tried to flash non-GB roms. As simple as that.
I have no idea why the RUU and PH39IMG didn't work tho...
Well. I won't touch that thing for a looong time, as it works and I had enough problems getting there!
The reason that you had problems with ics and upward roms is because your phone still has the gb hboot. This is because boss never released the ics update. To install ics roms you need the ics hboot.

Which I'm only able to attain with s-off, am I right?
Correct, I believe. If you didn't get an official update to ICS, you'll have to S-Off. It's honestly not as bad as it sounds, I did mine with some speaker wire...probably the worst part of it is getting the cover off of the section where you have to ground out the point. Just take your time, and make sure you're in a well lit area, with a little bit of working space, and you'll be fine.
well, the problem is, that we are not longer on a stock rom and can't seem to flash the original ruu, as we don't find it anywhere...
and as far as i know it is not recommended or possible to go s-off without being on stock rom!?
AFAIK it is UNTESTED... Not impossible
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk
If this is anything like other HTC devices, i'd say your best shot if you're willing to try an untested idea, would be to give it a shot with a sense rom, as they tend to be (under the hood anyways) a lot closer to stock than non sense roms.
So, while I see that there was a hboot list already posted, but it was not said how it was done. So I decided to work on this and post how..
NOTE: You will need hex edit skills, and knowledge. Bricking your device is your own fault. I take no blame, nor do I feel bad if you cant read.
For SOFF to SON mask
Find S-OFF
Replace the First F with an N and the second with a space.
RED TEXT REMOVAL:
Find the red text that is listed on the screen when booting. You will find it, just ctrl+f. Now replace letters with the space.
DO NOT REPLACE 00 IN HEX. IF YOU SEE 2E YOU DO REPLACE IT WITH 20
REMOVE TAMPERED
Find TAMPERED
overwrite the *** TAMPERED *** with all spaces. DO NOT get anything beyond that scope.
More mods on the way. Starting with the removal of Powered by android from the bottom.
THIS IS FOR SPRINT ONLY!!!
DOWNLOAD
MD5: 665c0b2e7a60e8c698da43a4ae372e21
After checking md5 to flash
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip m8_whl_hbootmod.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Done! Enjoy your hboot. Please note this is just for educational purposes, and I posted the hboot so if your learning you can compare There is another thread, and this is how he did it.

There are more up to date masked hboots in Android Dev
Bootloader updates are pretty useless. It's kind of like bios updates really. All of the other firmware stays, but this remains. I don't feel a need to update something that still works is all

On the M8, HBOOT needs to be updated for the newer software versions to even boot.
So in this case, it's like the new OS added a feature that requires a BIOS update. It happens.
But, as was stated, there are newer version out there. You might just want to add a disclaimer that this will only work with 1.xx based ROMs, because once you move up to 2.xx and 3.xx, you'll have issues (like WiFi not working).
I guess you haven't been keeping up with the firmware situation on this device . . .

I'm currently using this hboot with the newest firmware and can use stock and cm just fine, no issue in any regard. Maybe GSM has this issue, but I do not (and I develop for myself, and share with others anyways). Everyone can use whichever one they feel that's the best, but as I said, this works for me and I won't change anything on an unfounded basis for this model.

Not sure how you're managing that, but good for you, I guess. Everyone else has issues with the old HBOOT on the new base ROMs. Since there are other options, I suppose It doesn't matter anyway.

I NEED HELP WITH THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856
how my phone is now
HTC one m7 rooted S-off unloacked
Hboot 1.55
4.4.2
4.06.651.9
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7wls
I did everything in the video
using Fast boot with the Modified Firmware everything went ok with no problems
I did not even get the "please flush image again immediately" thing
after booting back into the phone I find out that nothing has changed what so ever
& I know what to look for because my mom has the same phone all up to date but with out root & s-off etc...
I want this update real bad so I can turn off blinkfeed & you can only do that on Sense 5.5 or higher.
Well the place where you go to turn it off is not there :crying:
I'm no noob but I don't do this kind of updating everyday
so what am I doing wrong????
Are you trying to use that RUU?
If so you will need to flash the full firmware first then the RUU.
Now my phone is fubar!!!!!!
I was trying 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip when I did it
the full what??
be descriptive
and to make matters worst I have ****ed up the OS.
I got sick of w8ing for help so I tried doing the full 5.03.651.3_firmware_RUU.zip
it will no longer boot into the OS
all I got now is Hboot & twrp This is bull **** there has got to be easier ways then this
So now what do I do????????????????????????????
The good news I'm now on Hboot 1.57
I know it's frustrating but easy with the swear words.
Run the RUU and you should be good.
I need help!!!!!!
ok dude I'm not trying to be an ass H
I'm just realy realy realy Fing mad
so if you are not going to give me step by step instructions
then your not going to be much help to me
I'm no pro at this
so to recap my HTC one is fubar & all I got is Hboot 1.57 & twrp-2.8.0.2-m7wls
I went into twrp & did a wipe on sys in the hope that would fix
so I did the wipe & went back to Hboot & flash boot the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip & now when I boot into the OS
all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more
is there anyone who is going to help me?????
Well looks like it a brick now
nothing I do is fixing this
not 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip
not 5.03.651.3_firmware_RUU.zip
and I tried rolling back to the old one modified_firmware_4.06.651.9.zip
no matter what I do all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more :crying:
looks like I will have to go to sprint tomorrow :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.03.651.3_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader (S-ON ONLY)
-from pc, run ARUWizard.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock
OK I'm downloading that now
OK I'm downloading that now, its big so will take 19 min to D/L
but why do I need that one?
why can't I use the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip?
just so I know for next time...

You need to RUU because you wiped your OS in twrp.
The modified firmware does not include hboot/recovery/boot.img(kernel)
The reason you don't have an OS is you wiped it in twrp.
Build number/Software won't change unless you flash a 5.03.651.3 rom.
The best way to check if it worked is to check the baseband to see if it changed.
ok its working again
ok its working again
I did not know that was the file I needed, I thought that's a stock rom so why would I want that
so I went for the other files.
This RUU app is new to me.
Thank you for helping me I just feel the way this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 post was typed up did not help me at all (I was lost)

no the OS was Fed up before I did that sys wipe .
I only did the sys wipe because I thought that would help fix it what the modified firmware Fed up by removing the bad OS & retry installing the modified firmware.
before that I did the modified firmware & it soo did not work!!!!!
so I don't know what happened but I do know that post with the update was really vague for someone who does not do this kind of thing often.
I do have a?
& that is next time I do this
will it keep the app-data? or is there away to back that up
my phone is fine but I lost all app-data witch is kind of a pain in the but having to go over all the settings for all of my apps
