Follow nkk71's Guide to Return to Stock! Use it as a guide since you want to remain rooted and are already S-OFF. Please note: if you run a RUU it will revert the custom recovery to stock recovery. After the RUU is run successfully, you can install a custom recovery and then root afterwards. Since, you are S-OFF you want to remain S-OFF.
Sorry my mistake its s-On. Will the guide still work?

Hey Guys...
I need to find the proper shipped ROM so I can go back to stock...
I found one that says Virgin mobile but it has AU in the title so I was thinking maybe that was for Austriala...
Do I just download one of bell's considering they share the network?
Sorry I'm a noob

You stated you wanted to go back to stock, so did you S-OFF using Revolutionary.io and are running a custom ROM at this point in time? Is your intent to return to stock and S-ON state?

Yes. All Canadian Virgin android devices use the Bell ROMs.
They don't just share the network. Virgin in Canada is owned by Bell.

Since you are S-OFF using Revolutionary, when you run the RUU it should update everything except the HBOOT which will leave you S-OFF. The RUU will replace CWM with the stock HTC recovery, so you will need to reinstall CWM and then you can use CWM to install the latest su-3.0.x.zip to get root and superuser back on the stock ROM.

No, in order to run a stock RUU, your bootloader needs to be relocked.
I have a ViperVivo rom on my brothers phone but he is whining about freezing and slowing so I need to unroot s-on and restore stock rom.In brief i need to restore the phone to the beginning where it was untouched but i do not know how to do.

My advice is to keep S-OFF and CWM and just flash this stock, rooted ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908187
It is based on the last official ICS ROM for the IncS. Or a better one to consider would be mike1986's ARHD which is based on the same ICS ROM but includes all of the most recent supporting application.
Thanks but is there a way that i can deactivate S-OFF and completely restore to the stock rom? I like the custom roms but he is blaming the root and custom roms for freezing and he is about to open a crack in my head

Root is the not the problem. Use either of the 2 rooted stock ROMs that I suggested and he should not have any lockup issues.
Otherwise, you will need to remove the Revolutionary S-OFF bootloader and replace it with a stock HTC bootloader before you could run an official HTC RUU to go completely stock. You will need to search this forum for the posts that document that procedure, but they are so old that some of the links that they reference may not be good anymore.
So again my advice would be to keep S-OFF and CWM and flash a stock, rooted ROM based on a HTC official IncS RUU.
I am seriously in need help.
I unlocked my HTC one bootloader, flashed a custom Recovery TWRP, and has Android Revolution 11.5 installed
I need to get it back to full stock, and I do not know how.
I need your help and a quick tutorial to restore it to stock.
Also, from where can I get the files to get it back to Stock.
Please help
Any help?

If you`re not S-Off and have SuperCID look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317536. If you`ve done that you can almost flash any RUU. Didn`t you make a backup of the original rom to restore?
Hey there I am rooted unlocked s-off. Firewater will not work on my device so I decided to go ahead and try sunshine.
It seems no matter what rom I'm running, sunshine says I cannot use it and I need to flash a stock based sense rom. I am still on 4.4.2.
I can not for the life of me figure out what rom to flash to get it to work. Is there a rom I can flash thru recovery, a stock rom, that will get it to work?
Or do I have to relock it and flash a sprint stock rom (which I can not find a 1.54 base rom that is stock). I am hoping that there is a stock rom thats custom recovery flash able. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
You say you are rooted unlocked s-off... so I don't see why you need to use firewater or sunshine...

I meant to say s-on. Firewater won't work on my device
Install one of the stock backups from the thread below. Also, Captain Throwback has stock rooted ROM's over on the MikMik.

thanks. that thread was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a stock rooted 1.54 back up. couldnt find one anywhere
Okay so here is probably a stupid question. I am trying to unroot my Sprint HTC One M8. I accidentally deleted the backup I had to my old OS so therefore I have been stuck. I tried looking in the backups thread but they didn't have the correct version. I tried using the version they had but it failed to update. However I found a stock odex rom for my current verison. I was wondering if I can just use this. Unroot flash stock recovery relock the booloader and be good to go and able to receive otas' etc. I am S-On btw. Will I need to be S-Off? Or can I remain S-On and will I be able to use this stock odex rom? Please help.
That will work. No need to S-off. Alternatively, you can also RUU to unroot your phone.
