Looking to reset bootloader to complete stock - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I have already re-locked and flashed the 3.0.5 RUU and everything is completely stock except the bootloader reading S-Off and Relocked.
I'm looking to reset the bootloader to read S-On and Locked just as it would be right out of the box.

Hmmm. I don't suggest getting s-on, it's pretty risky. You better flash this hexedited hboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314921
It basically masks the s-off as s-on. No one will ever notice it, it's basically risk-free and you remain s-off

This needs to be done while I still have root access right? Because I have already relocked and ran the latest 3.0.5 RUU.
I'd rather not unlock and root again if I don't have too.

No need for root it's flashed from RUU mode
I would advise using RootLinix hboot instead it will read hboot 1.55

I'm pretty sure you'd have to RUU. Not totally sure though....
Yes it is I've done it several times, do you won't to s-on? And return back to stock ? With hboot saying locked?

Running RUUs do not affect S-Off status.
Don't know if this is what you are trying to accomplish, don't believe it undoes anything, but might make it look stock, think there was another thread around somewhere, did not really read the thread.

You can always go back to s-on with the fastboot oem write secureflag3 command.
I am note sure if thats the exact flag number so find out first before running it.

Isn't one of the benefits of s-off being able to Ruu while being unlocked still? ¿
Sent from my One using xda premium
Do NOT run the secureflag 3 command to s-on. You will brick the phone. You need to run the ruu first so you have a stock, SIGNED hboot first. After the ruu is complete then go into fastboot and run
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
if you do it with the moonshine hboot on the phone it will never turn on again.

This is correct. You never want to writesecureflag with an unsigned hboot.
@mhsbrian That is what I said. Running an RUU doesn't affect your S-Off. You can run RUUs for different devices with S-Off if you tried. (but I wouldn't)

You didn't understand what I was saying. I'm saying in order to run a Ruu normally you have to relock the bootloader first before you can run it. With s-off, you can just Ruu without relocking I already understand that soff isn't affected by Ruu.

What you need to do is, relock bootloader, run lastest RUU, unlock bootloader, s-off with revone (even tho you still are s-off), s-on with revone reboot into bootloader run writesecureflag 3, reboot to system, then reboot to bootloader and then run RUU one more time and bam you got locked bootloader again (not relocked)

[Q] HTC ONE back to Stock (Locking bootloader and removing root)

So i need to sell my phone because of several cash flow reasons. :crying: The person who is buying off me doesnt want the phone to be rooted. I tried looking for a back to stock thread but found nothing so far, or i am not looking hard enough.
So i just need the root to be gone and the bootloader to be locked as it was. How do i do that? Your help is greatly appreciated. I got a day to settle all this

I know that if you can get a Windows Vitual machine running on Mac you can do it.
Then when the RUU is running you can search for the ROM
Check it out. I know if you use the HTC one AIIO toolkit you can flash the extracted data to your device. Even the recovery.img from a stock RUU.
Let me know how you get on

Lock the bootloader with revone and flash a RUU (European or WWE), like this one http://bugsylawson.com/files/file/1...13323127-1031113105-release-310878-signedexe/, then run revone and remove tampered message (if you have that) in bootloder but i would keep S-Off if i we`re you forever.

Unfortunately it comes up with this, and then fails at updating a while later. Turns out my hboot is 1.54 so I can't use revone right?
I remember there is a method of tricking the ruu in to thinking the device is older.if I'm not mistaken it's the changing of the cid
But someone would need to verify that one

You probably need S-Off for that right? I'm on the 1.54 hboot and the s-off method only works on 1.44 I think.
The thing is, I just noticed factory reset did not remove root.. So i'll try to unroot it first and then run the update agaib.

[Q] How to downgrade HTC One Developer Edition (US) from firmware 1.29.1540.17 to 1.2

Hello,
I have been researching here to find a way to downgrade to a previous version of a firmware so that I can S-Off, and to no avail unsure how to do it myself using either use Moonshine or revone.
The reason I wish to do this is that I want to install Google Play edition and of course the necessary info to install it.

If I'm not mistaken the ROM firmware is irrelevant as to if you can root or not, or get-S-OFF. The most important factor for S-OFF is the bootloader version. I haven't seen any threads about getting S-OFF on bootloader 1.54.
Reboot to your bootloader (turn device off, hold volume down and turn device on). Check your HBOOT version there. If it says 1.54, then the only possible solution is to search for an official HTC RUU with a lower HBOOT version. However I do not know if this will actually work.

Don't really know what you mean by reflash? Returning to the newer HBOOT (1.54)?
If that's the case, once you're S-OFF you can update the HBOOT to 1.54 and S-OFF will still be there. There are some threads in the development section about upgrading the HBOOT. I used these myself without issues.
As for the official RUU, this will probably be a Google search. I haven't seen a thread around with these files.
Keep in mind that flashing an original RUU will result in loss of root and custom recovery. You will need to re-root after flashing the RUU and reflash a custom recovery.

I think so yes, but I'm not 100% sure. You may find the answer, or ask the question in the hboot update threads or s-off threads. I haven't flashed a RUU myself in years.

I was s-off with stock unrooted locked 2.24.401.1 firmware (ruu'ed by repair center)and tried to use revone to unlock again but it would fail, then I downgraded to hboot 1.44 (I could still do this because I was s-off already) but revone would still fail, then I decided to properly downgrade to 1.28(or was that 29).401.?? with an ruu and was able to use revone again to unlock my bootloader, so hboot is not the only factor for revone to be succesful...
downgrading hboot and other system partitions, except kernel rom radio and recovery, is not possible if you are not s-off already....

S-OFF is not needed for root or custom recovery. You do need an unlocked bootloader though. On other devices S-OFF was needed to flash radio's or kernels through recovery, but from what I have read the One can flash kernels in recovery without S-OFF

So I have gotten TWRP on there, however I have been unable to flash a previous firmware, to downgrade, getting the error message, Unable to open zip. My guess is that S-On is stopping this process even in a custom recovery. Is there a recommendation as to how I can achieve S-Off?
Also There is something I have been thinking about it, and if I were to follow the steps here, with execption of the flashing the RUU through fasboot, could I flash the RUU through TWRP instead?
[Edit] Could I install a custom ROM, S-Off through the ROM, then follow the steps in the link to flash the RUU?

My post wasn't referring to which s-off method to use. Yes revone only works on 1.44 but you are already s-off. No need to use rum runner if already s-off.
I was replying to OP when he asked if it was possible to root with stock recovery. IT is quite possible, I have done so myself.

[Q] Rumrunner custom hboot

So if I flash the custom hboot from rumrunner, and say I need to return the device to sprint, for whatever reason, do i simply reflash the ruu to return to stock? or do i have to first flash the stock hboot? Im sure this is a stupid question, but I wanna make sure.

Yes and no. Your custom hboot and recovery will be replaced with the stock one, but your phone will still read s-off and unlocked. I suggest that you flash this hboot, you'll look completely stock, locked, s-on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565201
