Ok so I bought my phone from O2 so it was completely stock and CID was O2___001. I s-off'd using rumrunner, then downgraded my hboot to stock 1.44 and ran revone to remove tampered and 're lock boot loader. I changed my CID to HTC__032 and flashed a RUU to subsequently update to sense 5.5 and the latest firmware. The hboot has not been flashed with a modified version as I didn't get the red text after downgrading and then running revone and RUU
My question is if I send my phone into HTC for repairs in the future should I keep the phone as is or try and revert to stock O2? The phone is now purely stock and unbranded. I prefer HTC repair to O2 anyway. The bootloader reads locked and it's s-off
Thanks!
Anyone ? Better to stay unbranded and full stock or carrier branded full stock for repairs? Can HTC know my phone was carrier branded originally?

He's not very techy and isn't into the rooting scene so he wants the stock Sense experience. The phone is 32GB AT&T rooted & s-off and CID to be recognized as the Dev Edition. If I just flash the newest stock 4.2.2 is that still fair to the new user?
Will he receive OTA updates with ANY currently available 4.2.2 or should I change the CID back to AT&T, flash the stock ODEX ROM & lock the boot loader and leave s-off? Or do I need to restore s-on for OTA?
Set the Cid to att, run an ruu, set back to s on and lock bootloader using revone so it shows locked not relocked Then he can get ota and it's fully stock

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to get back to 100% stock so I can send my phone back for replacement/repair. There was no RUU so I used some kindly donated nandroid back ups and OTA firmware to get back to what should be my current stock 2.29.980.2 (Australian Unbranded HTC__039). Ive got stock recovery back on and OTA's are working. I'm still S-Off and boot loader unlocked.
The last think i need to do is get S-on and relock the bootloader. But in flashing the current firmware, HBoot is at 1.54.
Before I do any brash, does anyone know if revone one will still work to allow me to relock the bootloader and S-on?
If not will I have to downgrade Hboot to 1.44 and get S-On back on then reflash the firmware to upgrade HBoot back to 1.54?
I've also read that if there is anything other than stock HBoot and S-On you can brick the phone. But I take if the Hboot has upgraded from the OTA firmware this should be fine?
Thanks

You might want to be a bit more helpful and actually tell him why not
I would also advise against reverting to S on, because you won't be able to regain S off again, at least currently with 1.54 hboot.
If you wish to send for repair, my advice would be ensure you have stock recovery and stock Rom.
Use revone to remove tampered, and also relock bootloader .
No real need to revert to S on, as Soff doesn't indicate that you tampered with your device as a small number of HTC One were sold with S off

I am on the same boat with you. unbranded Aussie One..
I had my own backup 1.29.980.17 from TWRP and restoring from my backup made my screen not working at all..
I have 1.54 hboot as well. Does 1.54 hboot and 4.1.2 doesnt work together? Isnt backup from xda is also 4.1.2 as well?
Sorry about asking question in your thread, but I just want to do same thing like you and I failed..

It says tampered because you have some unsigned software installed. Probably hboot or recovery.
Hey, i have a little problem, my phone is vodafone branded (germany) and i want to root it. Hboot is on 1.54, so i have to downgrade it, but there isn't one RUU for my vodaphone branded htc one. (CID is vodap102, Versionnumber 161 or something like that)
How can i downgrade my phone? Using HTCUnlock could work but i read that you can't undo the bootloader lock (it will say "relocked"). and i wanted to keep my warranty. Any ideas?

do you already have s-off? you would need s-off to be able to downgrade your hboot. but with 1.54 you can't achieve s-off. so there's no chance for you to flash an older RUU than 1.54 if you're not already s-off, and we don't have any 1.54 RUU's yet.
if you decide to unlock via htc, here's a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

Brief description: Well if you completely want to modify your phone, you'll need to use rumrunner to get S-Off (that includes unlocking the phone, and other prerequisites for rumrunner)
Once you're S-Off you can change your CID to something more universal such as HTC__001 and use a full RUU (exe) to downgrade to complete WWE stock, and start receiving OTAs to the latest available (depending on which CID and RUU you end up using).
Thanks for your respond

Once you have s-off, you can remove TAMPERED using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792
and you can even LOCK (as opposed to RELOCKED) using revone or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
and once you run the official RUU (exe) even the red text "this is a development device bla bla bla" should go away.
I'd like to revert my Rogers HTC One back to out-of-the-box stock for warranty reasons, I'm currently S-OFF, bootloader unlocked (tampered flag removed), hboot 1.56, latest firmware 4.06. I need to go back to a locked bootloader with S-ON but there is no Rogers RUU in existence (I've read that if I S-OFF using another RUU I will brick my phone, not what I want). Is there a possibility to revert to stock or am I screwed without an RUU?
