MyComputerDoctor · Nov 28, 2012

FactoryROM Presents:

A lot of you are wondering how to get back to Bone Stock in case something happens during your Flashing
Addiction. You must run this RUU from a Windows based machine. You will also want to run this
executable with Windows Administrative Privileges (right click on RUU and Run as Administrator)

(1) Download this Package (Which is the HTC RUU in Executable Form) : Here
(2) If you have unlocked your HTC DNA, you must first lock the system again.

First boot into Bootloader

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

Once in Bootloader

Code:

fastboot oem lock

(3) Boot back into Bootloader
(4) Run the RUU with Administrative Privledges
(5) Follow the prompts, and Profit

While the Software Re-loads, your device will reset several times. Once everything is
said and done, your device will reboot into a freshly installed, bloated OS.

Let me know if you have any issues.

To Re-Unlock your Device:

(1) Flash RUU
(2) Turn Phone Completely Off
(3) Hold Volume Down Key and Power to Restart to Fastboot
(4) Reflash your Unlock Token (the original one sent from HTC during initial Unlock)
(5) Enter "Yes" at Unlock Warning - System will not Restart
(6) After Restart, Shut Phone Down Completely Again
(7) Reboot into Fastboot and Check your Lock Status - Should now say "Unlocked"
(8) Flash Unlocked Kernel & Recovery Again
(9) Profit

Thanks:

football (for the RUU leak)

Does this make the bootloader say "LOCKED" as opposed to "RELOCKED"?

Will you be able to re unlock?

It's my understanding that once you unlocked your device, the CID is permanently cleared. So yes, you can re-unlock using the HTC tool.

Cannot re unlock

Well I installed the ruu and cannot re unlock I've even tried rerunning the unlock process as well still no go. Any ideas?

Did you go back to the HTC site? You shouldn't have to just Justin's workaround again, simply go to the htcdev site and select "other devices" and do what you did before.

I'm in the process of re-locking mine right now, unfortunately the bootloader says:

**TAMPERED**
**RELOCKED**
**SECURITY WARNING**

I don't recall the security warning being there before..

EDIT: After flashing the RUU now it only says **RELOCKED**.

I flashed RUU last night, then had to start from square 1 to re-unlock. Since I had my BIN file from HTCDev, I thought I could just start with the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" command, but it kept erroring out on me.

has anyone retried jcase's unlock method first before trying to re-unlock?

Cannot re unlock

I made several attempts with my original unlock bin after that failed I then retried jcase's unlock method to regenerate new bin but failed as well. Are you suggesting I should have retried jcase's unlock method first?

So you had success re unlocking? If so what do you mean by square 1? Square one on htcdev or jcase exploit

Wow, I'm confused. Here's what I've done:

Ran JCase's unlock method, rooted
re-locked and flashed RUU
Tried using bin file from 1st unlock to re-unlock, FAILED
Ran JCase's exploit to re-unlock and rooted again

I forget what the error message was when I tried using the Bin file from the first (initial) unlock, but I know it didn't like it.

When i ran the exploit to re-unlock it didn't work for me. Are you saying it has worked for you?

WorldOfJohnboy. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this for me/us.......Were you successful in re-unlocking after RUU? I have been wanting to flash back to stock but am waiting to see if anyone has been successful in RE-unlocking. Thanks again if you can help me out :good:

Unable to find device in fastboot.

I am trying to return to stock, but here's my dilemma: I am unable to detect my device in fastboot after fastboot oem lock. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. I have installed the HTC ones and the PDAnet ones.Fastboot even shows "fastboot usb" but it doesn't bring up the same drivers.

A windows popup says Failed to install device drivers.

With the phone relocked, it will not let me boot back into the Android OS. Trying to enter clockwork recovery just boots back into the bootloader. There is literally nothing I can do. Is it bricked?

Edit: AAAANNNNNDDDDDDD once again it randomly installed the drivers and restored. Not sure if I am going to attempt a re-root considering all the problems I have had with it.

for those still having issues, you can re-unlock after flashing the RUU (havent seen anyone else comment recently, so many of you may know this already)

*need to use your original unlock token, there is no need to reuse jcase's unlock again

follow the 5 steps in the op to flash the RUU
boot to hboot after RUU finishes and reboots
navigate to your fastboot directory
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
unlock on your phone

***this will most likely *seem* to work, but fail on the 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd attempts***

after phone reboots boot back to hboot
if it still says "relocked", fastboot the unlock token again
unlock on phone

**repeat until successful

Why must you relock bootloader to flash this? You can't just flash it like a normal ROM?
