Need helping finding a stock Non HK rom of Software 2.16.651.4. I need to unroot my device and have failed at finding a 2.16.651.4 backup to be able to flash back and unroot. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I have done hours of google searches and haven't been been to find anything other than odex or deodexed roms which won't work. I tried using a back up and flashing back to an older software version but it failed to update back up so had to reroot. Can anyone please help
Here is the 2.16.651.4 RUU, straight from HTC. Look under the section titled "Manual System Update Instructions". This will unroot your device and install the stock Android system recovery. If you're S-on you'll need to relock the bootloader first using the command "fastboot oem lock" (from the bootloader) while connected via Fastboot USB mode. If you're S-off you do not need to relock the bootloader. Afterwards, just follow the instructions on HTC's site to install the RUU.

Cheers mate but I'm not sure what you mean by fastboot oem lock. Do you have a video tutorial? or instructions? I have been using the All In One Tool.

Fastboot oem lock is a command that you type in to a command terminal on your computer while your phone is connected via Fastboot USB mode. The command relocks your bootloader. You need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment set up on your computer first in order to do so. Hit the link below for more info.

This is a reason I hate toolkits. They simplify everything but don't teach you very little, if anything

Okay thanks. Could I just use the tool kit to relock the bootloader and everything then use the RUU to update to the current version? I am not sure if I can do it following that method. To relock it anyway. Also to do this method do I need S-Off because I do not have S-Of.

If the toolkit has that capability, sure. As far as S-off, no, you don't need it.

It does have the capability to relock the boot loader you just need to flash a stock backup to do so. Which is why I posted originally. The only stock backsup I can find are for version 1.54.x which I tried using but it failed to update to newer versions got the red triangle so I had to re root. to flash the current firmware. The only versions of the current firmwear I can find is stock odex and deodexed which I was told won't work. If I do it the adb way d I need to be on 1.54 or can I still be on the 2.16 rom. If I could just find a stock rom or backup (deleted mine by accident) t would be much easier.
Here is a stock rooted ROM based off the latest OTA update. Download & flash in recovery:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...L-Stock-Rooted-Base-2-16-651-4-(Android-4-4-3)
Why again are you trying to unroot your phone?
You should be able to open a command prompt/cmd window from the toolkit.
Once open type
Code:
adb devices
This should return your serial number with Device next to it
If it does type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader type
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the RUU in post 4 Magnum_Enforcer linked you to.
You will be completely stock afterwards

Don't know much about SIM unlocking so I can't answer that part of the question. Updating via RUU, OTA or custom ROM won't put you back S-on.

I have my HTC Vivid rooted and on HoliRaider v1.6. I really wanted to use the rom Rum Float Beta, which is ics. I tried to find the steps for updating to this but i get kinda confused... If anyone could help me that would be great!
Taken from a similar thread...........
the RUU or the methods that thecubed and i have laid out will get you the necessary HBOOT/RADIO/etc that you will need to flash a custom ICS rom
either method will get you the same thing....an updated HBOOT and ICS
if you run the bootloader unlock tool from htcdev, YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR SETTINGS! it will wipe the device like its brand new......do NOT include this in your dreams of getting backups prior to flashing a custom rom....
please just read through the posts and understand what is going on.
in order for ICS to happen on your vivid you need the new HBOOT, Radio, and various other components that the RUU/PH39IMG contain
there are 3 different roads you can follow to get there, the EASIEST being just run the RUU (WHICH WILL ALSO WIPE SETTINGS!), afterwards, reboot to bootloader, unlock bootloader, reboot to fastboot, fastboot flash the boot.img and the recovery.img of your choice on (limited on boot.img's at the moment, better use the one from the rom), reboot to recovery and flash the rom
the other methods imply you understand somewhat how the process works.
relock bootloader (if unlocked), run PH39IMG install, unlock bootloader, fastboot flash recovery and boot.img, reboot to recovery and flash rom.....
if you wrap your head around HOW it works, its all really simple....so the first step is understanding HOW it works, not blindly following some tutorial or walkthrough.
please try to LEARN and UNDERSTAND what it is you are doing....
The thing that is getting me is how I have to Lock the bootloader again. Do I just lock it through the htc unlock tool? How do I " run PH39IMG install"? After, do i follow the same steps that i did before to root my phone?
To relock bootloader:
fastboot oem lock
To Unlock bootloader:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The PH39IMG file needs to be on the root of your SD card. Boot into hboot and it will automatically find the the PH39IMG file and update. I hope this helps. Like you said it's almost exact same steps you did to root assuming you didn't use the supertool or one click method.

Before you start are you savvy with fastboot commands? I'm confident you can do this but just read read read. I'll answer your questions as best as I can. I"m not a dev or anything but I was able to do this following the steps created by PG and Thecubed.
i've tip toed around with it. Back when i had my evo 4g. I'm pretty familiar with the commands and stuff. i think i got a pretty good idea with the superguide also. after the getting the img file on and cwm i'm decent at the whole flash thing. If i can just get past that point i think im good.

Yes keep the superguide thread open as well. It's a great resource to have while you are doing this. The steps are nearly the same just have to update the HBOOT first. Good luck! I look forward to seeing you post having a successful install.

If just bootloader unlocked, you cant update the firmware nearly as easily with s-off (or maybe at all, im not sure) but definitely checking Mikes Firmware thread under Android Dev, and S-off Revone thread under Original Android Dev will help. Also, if you are superCID (which you should be and should do so if youre not) here are the instructions for updating FW while soff+superCID (attached as picture) and i can verify i have followed these steps myself and they work. Hope i helped. If not, ask more!

android update after rooting
hi all,

i rooted my phone using "towelroot" sometime back. it was working great for me so far. now i receive this OTA update message for 10.5.1.A.0.283 (i guess its android 4.4.4). I've read at many places about updating a rooted phone, and found below mentioned instances:
1-you will loose your root, and will go back to normal boring unrooted (but updated version) of your android
2-you will brick your phone
3-you will loose all your data
now i'm not sure i should go for this automatic update. don't know that much about android. please suggest anyone what will happen to my phone if i update it by default processes. also, let me know about the best way to do this.
also, lets say i update the phone and loose my root, but phone stays well. will i be able to root back again using towelroot just like previous time?
guys, please anyone help me out here. i DO want the latest update on my phone. but i DO NOT want to lose my root.

I did as you told but i saw this massage :
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
whats the problem ?
So, I was trying to put the Google Edition rom on my HTC One for Sprint. I had the right rom and everything. I noticed Wi-Fi wasn't working so I took it off and tried to go back to stock and then I noticed that the version on my phone (1.31.651.2) was higher than the version on the RUU. I have no OS installed on my phone and every time I try to flash a rom, it tells me I'm unrooted. Then, when I'm prompted to install superuser, it just reboots. I am now stuck in bootloader and recovery. I have absolutely no clue what to do. I have S-on as well. Please help!
All I can think of is to use this stock ROM here based on the 1.31 firmware and use the adb flash method. But I'm not sure if that would work as flashing .img's from adb would require S-OFF. Then again I am a bit new here, and others with more experience could chip in and then I may learn from it as well.

You need to s off. You get a lot more options for recovering from things like this. The thread is in one of the development forums here. Use moonshines method or download the all in one tool and use revone. It's really easy. Then you should be able to RUU back to stock and reroot.
I want to thank you guys for helping me first and foremost but I could not get revone on my phone and I couldn't do moonshine either. Moonshine ended in an error and revone requires root which somehow I don't have. I don't think there is any way I can get s-off

Try sideloading through TWRP a stock rooted Rom
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
So I recently accidentally wiped my internal storage which pretty much bricked my phone. I was rooted with S=on and custom recovery. Sideloading would not work for me, tried using TWRP and Clockwork mod recovery. I was able to return to stock though using this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904. Worked like a charm, then I unlocked the bootloader again, flashed a custom recovery again and rooted again. I didn't see anyone else post the above thread, so I thought I would share in the hope that it helps.
I have a developer edition that I want to return to stock recovery and get the 4.3 OTA update. I'm a bit confused about the best method and during my research came across the downloads on the HTC Dev site. On there, I see that they have the 4.1.2 zip for the developer edition. This raises two questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
1) Will this return me to stock and remove the CWM recovery so that I can complete the OTA update?
2) If so, how do I use install the .zip? Do I simply use the CWM recovery tool to install it? Can anyone provide a link to how to complete this?
Apologies for the basic questions, but I'm very confused at the moment.

What firmware are you on?
Unless you're S-off you can't flash a RUU that is lower than your current firmware version.
RUU.zips are flashed in fastboot RUU mode. But if you can use the .exe file it'll automate the whole process.

I'm currently on 4.1.2. I just got the phone and all I've done is flashed CWM recovery to root it and install TiBu. However, I didn't think to update it to the latest update.
So, would I be S-off on a developer edition?
Also, I understand fastboot, but not fastboot RUU. Is this accessible in the CWM recovery mode?
I really appreciate your help. I'm getting a bit frustrated.
Dev Editions are not S-off.
Do a search and read up on S-off, as you still have the opportunity to gain it, but the possibility will be gone once you update.
"fastboot oem rebootRUU"
"fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
"fastboot flash zip ruu.zip"
(Yes, twice)
Check to be sure everything was successful.
"fastboot reboot"
I'm not sure if you need S-off or not to do it though...

I have been running this rom for quite some time and I wanted to know the procedures while being s on to upgrade the entire phone. I'm also enclosing a screenshot of my current firmware and ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated I haven't done this since I first got my m8
Download the most recent RUU from the thread linked below to your computer:

Make sure your phone has a full charge. Reboot your device to the bootloader and connect your phone and computer via USB cable. Select the fastboot option from the menu and you should show that you're connected via fastboot USB mode. Open up a command window with ADB and type the command "fastboot oem lock". Press enter. This command will re-lock your boot loader. Now, double-click the RUU file you downloaded to start the installer. Be patient, as it may take a few minutes for the installer to start. Once it starts, follow the prompts on your computer screen. Once the RUU completes you can disconnect your phone from your computer and reboot your phone. The RUU will wipe the internal storage on your phone, so make a back-up and store it on your computer or your external SD card, if applicable.
Can i unlock the bootloader again after doing all this by typing fastboot oem unlock in adb?
I just wanna make sure I update everything correctly and get set up for a new Rom. I'm not getting all my calls or texts. So I am guessing the radio is too outdated
Is there a way to just get an image that will bring my phone back to stock so I can upgrade everything all at once

RUU
Alright and that won't screw up the recovery I have installed correct so I can just flash a new rom even with a locked bootloader or do I have to go through all the stupid steps to unlock it again

The stock recovery will be installed. Additionally, you'll need to use HTC Dev to unlock your phone again. That's the best way to update being S-on.
So there's no way to just update the firmware and radio without having to go through the rest of that?
Actually I just looked up how to get s off on my phone I'm going to use the fire water tool and then I'll use that link to get the firmware and flash that with the fuu

Without being S-off, no.

Firewater has been discontinued. You have to use the Sunshine exploit for S-off.
Got a link?

Sunshine
Sloth you deserve some Rocky road buddy
And this is what I get. I suppose nothing is simple. I got no clue what is wrong.
Kernel info
Flash a stock rooted ROM from the RUU thread I mentioned previously, then try it again.
I locked boot. Ran a ruu from boot and destroyed my os and it took me all night to recover. Can you please show me how to restore to stock? I'm kinda over it
Now that you've run the RUU, go ahead and run the Sunshine exploit. Afterwards you can go about installing recovery and flashing a new ROM, if you'd like.
Not paying 25 bucks. I'm just wanting stock. My phone got too close to getting the hammer. I'm just gonna go stock. Don't know how
