Hi. I had my HTC One unlocked, S-Off, Rooted and I was running ViperOne Rom and everything was running fine but I wanted to return to 100% stock so I could get my 40GB Google Drive. But now I can't get S-Off again, i've unlocked my bootloader and i've tried to S-Off using Rumrunner and various other ways with cmd but it fails everytime. Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something. Cheers Alex.

i was running custom rom but decided the blue haze on the camera wasn't doing it for me and turns out htc are able to repair it once i send in
I got to relocked s-on only showing no tampered or anything by flashing ruu
running latest sense rom and hboot 1.56 atm
need to get back to just [locked] showing s-on
this is frustrating me I need help
i unlocked this originally through htc if that matters
You will need s-off to reset the bootloader back to locked instead of re-locked

S-OFF the phone. Then, use the flash the Guru Bootloader Reset zip in TWRP/CWM. From there, you can set it to Locked. But, HBOOT 1.56 has a lot of problems when trying to S-OFF. Its a hit and miss chance. Try using Firewater to S-OFF

Needing some help on this one. Basically i had my htc one which was locked to the three network running cyanogenmod for a while. I then decided to go back to stock and flashed the european ruu. Stupidly i flashed back the original 1.44hboot as i thought i could get rid of the tampered flag in the boot loader which i did but this has caused me even more problems. I'm now wanting to flash the european ruu as my phone is unlocked now anyway but cannot do so as i changed my CID back to H3G__001. Ive been trying for ages to get S off without any luck at all. Ive currently got my htc one on maximusHD 11 rom which is android 4.2.2 but i am having no luck at all with rumrunner revone or even firewater.. Revone throws the -6 error every time. Any ideas how i can get s off again so i can run the european ruu and change my CID? Any help will be appreciated as this is driving me crazy.
Hi all,
When I first got my M7, I unlocked it and installed TWRP to make backups. I had experience doing this with my sensation and followed the guides posted here. When the Sense 6 update came out, I wanted to update, so I was tried using REVONE to remove the TAMPERED and UNLOCKED but it set it to RELOCKED. Apparently, it wasn't compatible with the android version 4.4.2, which I realized too late.
Now, I'm trying to get S-OFF and unlock the bootloader so I can flash an 4.2 rom, then use REVONE and go back to stock. I've tried using nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock, but neither Firewater nor Rumrunner will work with my device (HBOOT 1.56) - they both finish early and tell me I'm out of luck.
What's the next possibility? I'm in Asia with the TW stock rom. I can probably bring it to the store and let them handle it, but it'll take up to 7 days to get it completely back to stock. Is there anything else I can try before doing that?
tl;dr: Phone is Stock ASIA TW rom & recovery, HBOOT 1.56, *TAMPERED*, *RELOCKED*, and *S-ON*. Can't flash OTA or get S-OFF with Firewater.
EDIT: Nevermind. Seem to have soft-bricked my phone while attempting to install ARHD. Now no OS and can't load anything except TWRP. ADB Sideload doesn't work, ADB push doesn't work. Guess I'll bring it to the store and see if they can fix it.

If it's not too late, I have been in this situation before. I bought an OTG cable and downloaded a stock ROM guru reset. From there, I successfully S-OFFed my device with HBOOT 1.56 using the firewater method.
Hope this helps
Hello all. Bought my first HTC One (AT&T version, SIM unlocked) used on Craigslist and it's a bit of a puzzle.
It's got hboot 1.44, been htcdev bootloader unlocked, and was running CyanogenMod 11 from the Installer when I got it. It's still S-ON though, and for reasons relating to attempting to get warranty repairs, I'd like to get S-OFF, but haven't had any luck.
I can flash any recovery I like (currently CWM Touch 6.0.4.8 m7), and any rom that I've tried (so far only AOSP-based), but no s-off tool I've tried will work. I downgraded the phone to Cyanogen 10.1 (android 4.2) and tried revone, but it just reboots the phone when I try "revone -P". I've been too scared to just go ahead and try the "rev one -s 0" command.
Firewater and rumrunner won't work on this hboot. I have not tried moonshine yet.
I've read a lot of horror stories on the forums, and I don't want to brick this phone in trying to get s-off. I've heard that Android Revolution HD 31.6 works well with revone, but I've also been too scared to flash that incase I inadvertently update the hboot.
What is my best bet for gaining S-OFF?? I'm no newb to flashing and I am more than comfortable with a commandline, I just don't know what to flash.
Lastly, I need to go back to stock so I can send this phone in for warranty repair, but I don't want to lose S-OFF if I send it away. Is there a way to do this?
UPDATE: got it all sorted. flashed the maximusHD rom (android 4.2.2) from HERE and successfully seized S-OFF with revone. Going back to stock now.
Hello,
I recently rooted my M8 and have run into difficulties trying to run the GPE 5.0.1 ROM. I have TWRP installed and have no issues installing the GPE Rom itself, however, when I try to use WIFI the radio doesnt turn on and is unresponsive. Doing a little research I found it was due to my old firmware. So I tried to install the newest Firmware from the thread on M8 Android Dev, but when I try to use the RUU and the FUU, my phone is not recognized by the software. I tried to flash via HBOOT and it just asks me to reset my phone and doesn't do anything. Since I was S-ON I made sure I was using the full firmware for all of the methods, but it wouldn't work. So I tried to S-OFF my phone to see if that would help, but Firewater has been discontinued and I can't get Sunshine to run on my rom, so I am unable to S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to how I could get my phone S-OFF as well as to the new firmware.
Thank you.
You have to be running a stock rom when you use Sunshine
