[Q] preserve s-off, locked status on stock 1.54

Hi, I recently got a new HTC One sim free, shipped with 1.54 bootloader from HTC. I knew that revone/moonshine do not enable s-off with 1.54 so I shipped the device off for s-off to fonefunshop and got them to do s-off and supercid on the device. Before shipping it off I rooted and installed twrp recovery.
When I received the device back, it still has the shipped rom on it, along with a few apps I installed. TWRP is still installed its still rooted. The bootloader is showing that its locked (not relocked), but it still shows the tampered flag.
Q1. What is the best way of getting rid of the tampered flag and keeping s-off, and locked status (not relocked).
Q2. If the above is possible will I be able to get OTA's without loosing s-off or locked?
The bootloader currently looks as follows:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** LOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-11111111
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-4A.17.3250.14
OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617
OS-2.24.401.8
eMMC-boot 2048MB

I really dont want to lose s-off, or get to relocked status again if possible.
Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I did search, but because s-off was not achieved with moonshine/revone I am a little unsure how to proceed.

Getting rid of the tampered flag is simple but fraught with problems
Flashing modified hboots is risky at the best of times..... if you try to go back to s-on or relock then you will brick your device. You will need to flash the original hboot if you want to go back.

1.54 s-off yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Hi,
I fixed this with my funfoneshop buddies.
Just flashed an old RUU and after 5 OTA's 1.54, still s-off, locked, and no tampered flag.
Just in case someone else gets the same problem.

Was just gonna say use the 1.28.401.7 RUU and then OTA it until at 2.24.401.8 but you've sorted it out so it's all good

[Q] Downgrade Hboot 1.54 to 1.44?

Ok so i have searched but unable to find an answer to my question.
I want to downgrade my Hboot from 1.54 back to 1.44. I do have s-off. I s-offed when my hboot was on 1.44 using revone. My hboot was upgraded after doing a firmware update.
So i need to send my phone in for repairs (the infamous purple camera) and i want to downgrade so I can return to stock, remove "tampered" and relock.
As stated I am currently S-off and have read its possible to downgrade if you are s-off, just need to be pointed in the right direction

I wouldn't downgrade and s-on for warranty, it isn't necessary, they won't check and you will regret it because you will get back your phone s-on and upgraded to hboot 1.54, so non-s-offable for now. I did it too without any problems.
Just make you phone stock again (install a stock ruu is it is available), lock (not relock) your phone and remove tampered flag (running an ruu would remove it, if there is no ruu do it first because revone won't work without root on hboot 1.54)
BTW purple camera is just software whitebalance problem not a hardware problem

You just need to downgradethe firmware. It contains the hboot.
But as @godutch said, it's not necessary.

Ok cool, thanks guys, so I just need a flash a firmware zip containing 1.44 Hboot and im good to go?
Basically i just want to get rid of the tampered flag.
Iv done the 4.3 upgrades with supposedly fix the camera but its made no effect on mine :crying: so the only other option I have to try and get them to change the camera module.
Thanks again guys. Much appreciated. You will get a thanks each

you don't need to downgrade. h-boot 1.54 is normal and considerated STOCK for devices who made OTA update.
don't do stupid thing's
i removed tampared flag with revone -t

it does but you need to be s-off and rooted for it to work but you don't have to do what you are trying to do and you will regret it later....

just try with 1.54 , multiple times

hboot 1.55

I had my phone repaired twice and they didn't say any thing about the boot loader being unlock. However, since that I have s-off and the phone needs to go to repair for the microphone not working and I wonder if I could either s-on and lock the boot loader with hboot 1.55? If you have any advice, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

not recommended, as far as i've seen, going from s-off to s-on (on 100% stock everything), after a few reboots, has a high chance of resulting in "tamper detected - rebooting" and the TAMPERED sign is back.

s-on

Can I go s-on with the latest 3.62 firmware or do I need to go back to 2.24.401.1 first?
Better one more stupid question then a bricked phone.Do I need s-on to send it to repairing the camera?

Nope. Just lock your bootloader using revone (it just shows the locked tag) and remove Tampered flag, you won't lose any data (I used Hasoon2000 toolkit for revone). This makes the phone look like it was bought that way.
Besides HTC doesn't pay so much attention to S-OFF, it's just the unlocked bootloader and tampered flag that may void your warranty
Once you S-OFF, I don't see a reason why you will S-ON again.

Ok thank's I have read about people sending it in with s.off and get it s-on in return. But do you know the drill about the s-on, Is it nessesery to have the original 2.24.401 installed to get it right. I did update it OTA so It is 100% now, just forgot about the s-off.

I don't really know if they S-ON the device or not. OTA is fine since it is official. Just in-case, I would check rumrunner S-Off compatibility with your firmware. And check your HBOOT version as well.

[Q] I Screwed up and need help

I'm currently S-ON , on insertcoin , bootloader shows TAMPERED and UNLOCKED...
And the htc courier is coming in 6 hours to send the phone in for repair for the camera tint...
I'm Desperate
Rumrunner on insertcoin or flash this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738 and then runrunner to s-off and remove the tampered
in bootloader?
I think i read that tampered is there because i have a custom recovery , so the above stock rom with stock recovery will remove that logo? Or it's like knox that once tripped cannot be reverted?

You need to S-OFF, Unlock, Set your CID to 1111111, Run a stock RUU, Then set your CID back to what it was before you changed it, Lock the bootloader then S-ON, Probably take an hour or so to do, there is a few guides around.

[Q] S-OFF impossible after going S-ON?

In response to my Q below, a user wrote that if I go S-ON (to take the phone into repair) I can never go S-ON again. Is that true? I've restored my phone 100% to stock HBOOT, recovery OS etc. and I'm presently at HBOOT 1.57 and have locked the bootloader and have "*** LOCKED ***". So the only thing left is to go S-ON. But I'm wondering if this means I can never go S-ON again.
Thanks!

You can go S On again any time
He advised you should not make it S On
because keep your SOff is beneficial
your phone is GPE so that's had firmware problem after 1.55 locking Bootloader it cant be unlocked if you are on S On that time
if you keep S Off you can Unlock your phone easily
as you know 1st time you need Unlock Bootloader then you make S Off but if you update Hboot then Lock Bootloader then S On its quiet hard to make it S Off again and using root custom Roms etc
IF YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ANSWER DONT WRITE A NEW THREAD ASK AGAIN IN SAME THREAD WE WILL HELP YOU THERE

I did not mean you can never go s-off again. Most likely you phone will be returned with the latest software and hboot 1.57 installed and you'll have to pay to s-off. Many here have sent their phone to repair with s-off and had no problems getting repair.
and their phones were returned to them still s-off

OK just to clarify - it originally wasn't a GPE. I converted it to GPE, and now I converted it back to stock (incl HBOOT, recovery etc.). Btw, in the post I mistakenly asked if it meant I could never go S-ON again. What I meant to ask was if I couldn't get S-OFF again!
But you say I have to pay to get S-OFF again. Is that because Sunshine is the only way to get S-OFF with HBOOT >= 1.57? Any chance that a free tool will come out that works as well?
Thanks
