I have a (sprint) H/K edition M8 running 4.4.2 rooted with TWRP recovery, s-on with 1.54.654.13 & SPCS-004. I wish to return to stock to get the Lollipop update and then return to root. Im at a loss as to what to do please help any advice is appreciated.
Check out the thread in the link below. Use the RUU for the HK Lollipop update. You'll need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU. After running the RUU you'll need to unlock your bootloader and reinstall TWRP. You can then flash a ROM.

Connect your phone to your computer. Run the command fastboot oem lock. That will relock your bootloader.
My adb isnt recognizing my phone, have the stock google drivers & htc drivers installed and ive tried with my phone both powered on and in fastboot. I believe there might be a driver issue but im not really sure

Try this to get the drivers sorted.
Ive already had that installed idk what could be going on
Not to hijack the thread but how do I put it back to 100% stock so I can do a warranty return? I am mostly talking about how to remove s-off. I figure I need to have it back to s-on to do the warranty return.

You have to make sure you install the drivers in recovery,bootloader, and OS
ADB = OS and recovery
Fastboot = hboot/fastbootusb.
The waiting for device might be that you are not in fastbootusb
bootloader says RELOCKED, attempting to run RUU...
successful update, thanks for the help guys. Is there any way to get my on screen buttons changed to the new shape and to root again?

You can install TWRP and root just like you were on any other update. Android version does not matter. Just make sure you unlock the bootloader again, you can use the same unlock token from HTC dev. Then you want to install recovery
Code:
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img
After that, from fastboot, boot into recovery and then reboot system. If you use a newer TWRP it will prompt you to install superSU.

do you have s-off? you can only flash a RUU with s-off...
How exactly did the computer glitch? Calm down, if you can get into the bootloader which I assume you can (as you can see the tampered etc tags) then it's still salvageable. As the person above asked, do you have s-off?

nope still got it to work though. was very shocked. bootloader worked, was locked, and s-on. could not do ruu so i found a stock rom i ran it once got a security issue then manually typed it in something like fastboot flash image XXX.zip and got another thing 12 security signature or something other, ran it again imediatelly <did not close command prompt and left phone with the htc emblem on there> with the same command and surprisingly it worked!
Unlock then reflash a recovery

Yep, that should do it since you unlock and flash from the bootloader.

it's weird tho, because it was "relocked" and S-ON so I dont even know how it worked.
So I've run into a problem with my new Htc First phone, the wifi doesnt locate any access points.
Its unlocked,rooted and S-off-ed.
I can unroot and lock the bootloader but does anyone know how to S-on it?
Yea, you just have to ruu first and then follow this guide.

Btw is there any known wifi problem with the First? Mine just came from america yesterday and the phone wasn't locating any access points. I thought rooting it and flashing another ROM might work for it but unfortunately it didnt

You usually have to run a factory reset, cache/dalvik cache wipe before you flash roms. I get that wifi problem sometimes when trying to flash a rom before wiping.

DUDE QUICK THING ! you can't flash any roms in till you RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER ! I know it sounds weird but trust me you will keep the S-off status (assuming you have s-off) and everything works fine, I couldn't flash any roms in till I relocked and I heard others have this problem too.
Now the WiFi problem, if factory resetting doesn't work, try flashing the stock rooted ROM around these threads, if that doesn't work try JMZ's kernel, and if that doesn't work then you have a hardware problem, good luck.

If he just RUU's it he won't have to worry about relocking his boot loader, he should just use titainium backup and ruu to save time.

I've tried it many times already it works, after you ruu it you just have to turn s-on before you try to unlock the boot loader again otherwise you'll get bootloop.

guys guys, you've lost me.
All I need to do is wipe away all traces of my rooting and bootloader unlocking etc as I'm returning it for warranty.
Now my First is rooted, custom recovery and s-off and unlocked .
I want it unrooted, s-on and boot loader locked.
Someone please guide me through the steps :/
btw im not a n00b, but this is my first HTC phone so I'm not too familiar with these ruu's and s-offs

Step 1. RUU your device
Step 2. After it reboots when it's done ruu'ing just start it and go through the set up.
Step 3. Turn on USB debugging mode.
Step 4. Turn on CMD on your PC then just follow the commands below
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxx is your stock CID.) Mines is CWS__001 on the HTC first I'm not sure if it's the same on all devices just check to see if yours it the same, if it is just use fastboot oem writecid CWS__001
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot getvar cid (It should say CWS__001 if that is your cid.)
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
fastboot reboot-bootloader
*verify you are locked s-on
fastboot reboot
And that's it, it is a extremely simple process lol, I've done it at least 20 times since I tend to ruu my device a lot off of S-OFF, when messing around with different roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
So its okay if I flash the ruu by the second method as in this thread?
And will custom recovery be overwritten with stock recovery?
OK Update!
I was well on my way to relock,s-on my phone etc and here's what happened
@Kendosis
@SneakyGuyDavid
1) Sucessfully RUU'd
As it happened I didnt have my sim inserted and when I rebooted, the wifi was working! When I inserted the sim the wifi stopped working. I did some bit of research and it turns out it has something to do with wifi country codes. Apparently it can be fixed by this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fardjad.android.wifixmanager
2) Since the app required root, I was going to get root again.
(Flashing RUU gave me bootloader locked)
I unlocked and then flashed CWM
3) Since I had no roms on my phone storage and the CWM doesnt mount storage, I had to sideload the ROMS.
4) No matter which roms I flashed, I was stuck in a bootloop. I relocked and tried flashing again but I was again stuck in a bootloop. CWM works fine though.
Current status: Bootloader Locked, S-off.
What do I do to fix this bootloop :/
@dramon
I told you to s-on after you ruu first otherwise you get boot loop lol.
Now RUU again and right after don't install nothing just start up the phone and turn usb debugging on and follow the steps to S-ON.

also sideload sucks ass, if you flash TWRP then you can run adb from it and use adb push, so in cmd you would run " adb push
ROMZIPNAME.ZIP /sdcard "
Thanks guys, I now have an idea of how the rooting and unlocking works for HTC (Y)
my htc one is stuck in the bootloader with the tampered banner on it, RELOCKED bootloader and also s-on. I have a viper one ROM on it an a twrp custom recovery.. now funny story I guarantee you will laugh. I knew the htc oem update was coming soon so I could get lollipop but I was rooted and couldn't do it. So I was trying to get s-off on my device but I missed a step on some gadget hacks tutorial and locked the bootloader (thats the funny part) then I tried unlocking it again but it didn't work. I tried going into recovery but it just rebooted back to the bootloader. I tried everything in the bootloader options and nothing worked.
my Hboot is version 1.57 and my OS is 6. 10.531.9
I tried flashing a recovery again and I cant do it it says "error cannot load--" and the same with the Unlock_code.bin it just wasn't working? what am I doing wrong and how can i fix it. please its urgent
if you have any answers you can comment here and also e-mail me at [email protected] (I would usually say text me :crying: ) once again please help I don't know what to do next.

Since, you are S-ON with a locked bootloader run this RUU 6.10.531.10. It will put you back at stock, then you can try to unlock you bootloader. To get S-OFF you will need to use Sunshine with your hboot 1.57.

Is your phone S-off? If not then all you need to do is run a RUU to unroot your device and make it stock again. No need to use any toolkits.

I am s-on. I'm downloading the RUU now, but the page where I go the RUU says I have to relock the bootloader? And I will be able to take Sprint OTAs afterwards, right? I'm running a custom ROM with TWRP

Yes, in fastboot, before you run the RUU, enter the command through ADB "fastboot oem lock" without quotes.
At that point I don't think the custom OS would boot so make a backup before.
After that, run the RUU.
After you run the latest RUU you can unlock again with the HTC dev method then install TWRP again in fastboot. The unlock will wipe everything on internal, so either keep it on the external SD or copy your files to a PC.
Hi guys I have acquired a Rogers M7 that powers on but then just sits at a blank screen after boot. I can access fastboot and als flashed twrp recovery, I m on OS version 7.17.631.7 lollipop I believe, it is S-ON , HBOOT 1.61, I unlocked the bootloader using the HTCDEV.
I have tried to getting it past the blank screen by using the latest RUU I could find, 4.19.631.9 but that did not work, I think cause the s-on will not allow a downgrade, I also tried using the One_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1 to side load a zip but same problem, fails verification. I have also tried a nandroid back by copying it to the internal memory but still not working.
Can anyone help me fix this phone so it can be usable again? or provide me with an RUU that will work.
Thanks

Right, you can't downgrade when S-ON. Relock your bootloader and flash the 7.17.631.7 RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/general/lollipop-ruu-zip-small-collection-t3053944
I would also recommend that you stop using toolkits and learn to use adb and fastboot directly from a command window. These tools are not up-to-date and will most likely cause some issues.

If you have already used adb then you won't have any difficulty using fastboot, it's basically the same thing and the commands to flash the ruu are posted in the link above. Just don't forget to use the fastboot version from that thread or it won't work.
