Hello. I've been trying to find a way to unroot my HTC One. It's currently just stock with TWRP installed. I didn't even root it, but I'd like to get it back to 100% stock to return it.
It's s-off with a locked bootloader, and I've tried running the 4.06.651.4 RUU but it get's stuck at "4% checking headers."
I don't really know what else to do, is there any suggestions anyone has?

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.
Bell Canada HTC One, want to flash the stock recovery back so that i can get the Sense 6 update. Phone is rooted and unlocked with HTC dev but does not have S-off. been running into issues with hboot 1.56 in that regard and cant get S-off to work. Anyway. From what I gather the OTA update wont work without the stock recovery. How do I know which one to install

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
I rooted my phone and flashed a custom rom onto it and now id like to go back to Stock Rom, but Im still S- ON and the only return to stock methods i found require S-OFF and ive found RUUs but have no idea what they do. Could someone Explain how to return to root and what an RUU is and what it contains? ( HTC ONE M8 SPRINT)
the S-OFF requirement is for setting the hboot's tampered flag back. if you just want to go stock run a RUU(Rom Update utility)
your post doesn't make much sense, you start out with going to stock then ask how to return to root. also most of your question could have been answered from a simple search, e.g what is a ruu?
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
