Hey guys,
I know there are threads everywhere like this, but all I want to do is take my M7 back to stock and sell it. I've tried everything I've seen and I'm frustrated. I have root with SuperSU and TWRP recovery. I had S-OFF with an unlocked bootloader and stock Lollipop, then used revone to set the lock flag and set S-ON and remove tampered. Then I hit factory reset in bootloader, which was a huge mistake because now it's S-ON and tampered.
Since then I've tried revone, and setting the -P flag does not work, and running ./revone -s 0 -u on my mac doesn't work either. I'm running revone with su. I've also tried rumrunner in Windows on VMWare, which never gets past the sanitizing stage (even though SuperUser is granting permission to 'id'), and it just displays TTTTT**************** and press Enter to Exit.
I've also tried both locked and unlocked, and I had a newer hboot before and it didn't work either.
Here's my bootloader:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.60.0000
RADIO-1.01.20.1225
OpenDSP-v35.120.274.0718
OS-6.16.651.2
eMC-boot 2048MB

I'm out of ideas and I just want the quickest way to be done with this phone and sell it.
Thanks in advance!
Lock the bootloader and flash the 7.x RUU and forget about it
Only HTC cares about the phone saying Tampered / Relocked no one else cares
Ok I guess. Was hoping there's a simple way to do it because the phone just sold and I hadn't posted that it has a tampered flag. Is this the RUU I should use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658910. I need a decryped version I can install with Mac because I'm not having luck with the Windows RUUs in VMWare.
Sunshine s off is your only chance with hboot 1.60
How can I upgrade hboot to have more options? Also, is that that the right RUU to use? Lastly, trying to relock bootloader with revone and that's not working now.
Thanks for the help!
Sunshine is the only option for hboot 1.57 and up. Upgrading hboot won't give you more options. Revone is only to be used with hboot 1.44. If you want to relock then use fastboot oem lock. And no this is not the right ruu. It must be same version or higher when s-on.

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

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
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.
I recently updated my hboot (from 1.44 to 1.55) and radios through ADB because I went from 4.1.2 to 4.3. and was constantly getting connection issues with my WiFi. I got S-Off through moonshine before I updated my hboot but it no longer says moonshine. Now my bootloader has a black message saying Tampered and then a pink underneath saying Locked. I still have S-off and I am somewhat confused by the messages on top of my bootloader. I verified that I have root access through root checker. My main questions are: Should I just ignore the messages on top? If so, is there a way to remove them?
I went from this:
Moonshine
HBOOT: 1.44.4444
RADIO: 1.00.20.0315
To this:
***Tampered***
***Locked***
HBOOT-1.55.0000
RADIO- 1.00.20.0913_3
Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Now that depends, the tampered flag at the top basically tells HTC -should you return your device for repairs and such- that you gained s-off and therefore potentially modified your device. So in that situation you may need to return to stock factory(i.e. LOCKED and S-ON) however, if your only worried because of any issues you may have while using the device, I wouldn't worry, it is just there for any technicians that may be repairing your device. As long as your device wasn't bricked throughout the update process and it still says S-OFF your good
I hope that made sense.
Oh and on a side note, if you do need to revert back to full stock(LOCKED and S-ON) i would suggest doing some research first, because unlike the revone method, moonshine completely replaces your hboot, so trying to restore to a stock hboot could brick the device. There is a way to return to stock, but I am not sure how it works.
Thx for all your kindness, I'm completely new and noob here and i keep getting ruu error 155 while flashing my htc one back to stock.
I'm using an Asia wwe model, I have already unlock the bootloader and use both Asia wwe RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39588860.
But i still can't update my phone. Here is the information shown in my bootloader screen:

I relock the bootloader , tick allow usb debugging in developer setting, boot into fastboot usb mode and run the ruu as admin, and it wont work. I really need help for this.
Your help will be much appreciate !!!
you need s-off and 1.44 hboot dude
Yeah, Ive just been through all this yesterday. My advice. Well, the safest option is to flash a guru reset rom through your custom recovery from http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/. It basically takes your rom and recovery back to stock. I think HTC must've built in protection to the RUU to prevent flashing under Hboot 1.55 to prevent failure of the touch screen........I didn't want to start messing with downgrading bootloaders so I flashed Guru's reset.....I'm now on stock with S-off and "Locked" bootloader.....which GURU also has a flashable zip for.... once again, flash it in recovery....also removes tampered flag if you've got that. Get that here http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/guru-bootloader-reset/
EDIT. Just noticed your S-ON...you need to be S-OFF to do all the above, sorry man.
Hi everyone. I searched for around half an hour through google and failed to find a situation identical to mine (maybe i havent looked long enough).
I was one step away from resetting the warranty by removing root and locking bootloader again so that i could send it to HTC for repair (its under warranty.
I locked the bootloader and turned s-on. Then after flashing a stock ruu (i was sure i had the correct version) it returned to bootloader and all of a sudden it says TAMPERED again with s-on..
The phone now will not get out of bootloader. Since its s-on i cant flash a rom or recovery or flash a ruu. When trying to flash a stock ruu it says signature verify fail
ran fastboot getvar all
Phone details:
Bootloader: 1.44.0000
Baseband 4V.13.3231.27
Currently TAMPERED bootloader, LOCKED with S-ON.
How do i now get s-off again from this position?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:::: I unlocked bootloader through HTCDEV. THis can be closed
You should be able to get S-off again using Revone with HBOOT 1.44. You should be able to find everything you need here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582 . I was unable to flash any RUU file until I achieved S-off, but I had to use firewater as I couldn't get revone to work with HBOOT 1.57. Here is the firewater link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632351 .
