Will this ruu work to get the phone back to s-on and back to stock?
If you do it properly, these files will get you back to full on stock, yes.
Thank you. I'll do a search on instructions after lunch
Edit: do i Fastboot oem rebootruu then Fastboot the zip in the link?
thanks for this..
a few more questions..
How do I actually use it?
does this pretty much turn s-on and locked the bootloader and remove the twrp?
..Pretty sure it's something like that, but please find a good guide, I have never done it myself and I don't want you to screw up your phone.
scotty1223 said:anyway,you can flash it just like described for the radio:
-place phone in fastboot,open cmd. file must be in your adb/fastboot working directory
-enter:
fastboot erase cache
fastboto oem rebootRUU (will put you in ruu mode,black screen silver htc letters)
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip (will send and flash the file. dont interupt it while the cmd window shows its writinging,and the green status bar is moving on the phone screen)
*sometimes a file will fail with a pre-update error after after flashing hboot,radios or other firmware. this is normal,just enter again:
fastboot flash zip zipfilename.zip
and this time it will finish
-when you get "finished" and "OK"
fastboot reboot-bootloader (takes you back to fastboot. should also rescue you if for some reason the file wont flash)
-reboot back to the OS
fastbooot reboot
I used this instruction with the RUU file on this thread and I was able to get back to stock but bootloader is still Unlocked and S-OFF.
Anyone knows how to turn back S-ON?
Can you please stop telling people it does not lock the bootloader. I have quoted the text below in reply to you at least once before. Setting the flag back to "Locked" does tell the bootloader to be locked. It is not just displaying locked. Someone is going to try to modify something thinking their bootloader isnt truly locked after accomplishing the below when it is.Just Flip the Flag. You can use Scott1223's Thread on changing the flag.
It doesn't Lock the device again but it does report locked on the Bootloader fastboot mode. This has been enough for warranty reasons for Verizon.

not sure what youre asking. locked is locked... this leaves the "lock status" flag that tells hboot wether to be unlocked or not, in a locked state,just as it came out of the box.
if you mean "does the lock status flag need to tell hboot to be locked in order for the fingerprint scanner to work" then the answer is yes. hex editing hboot to make the unlocked banner read "locked" does absolutely nothing functionally. whatever partition controls the fingerprint scanner is looking at the lock status flag itself,and could care less what hboots banner reads

First off s-off does NOT equal unsecure bootloader (which Im assuming is what you meant). They are separate and distinct. You must s-off to be able to unlock the bootloader.

This is not complicated. There is a locked/unlocked flag, and a secure/insecure flag for S-Off.
They are not the same. You need to turn both to get back to stock.
I have not tried going back to S-On, but I do lock/unlock frequently.
The fingerprint scanner stops working when unlocked, and I cannot fastboot flash certain things to test when locked.
As for how you get either of these to be in either state, yes, that is a topic for another thread.

I'm by no means am a developer, but this is accurate. I had the HTC Incredible and sold it on Craigslist a few years later. To restore it to complete stock, I had to use the Stock RUU, lock the bootloader, and turn S-On. However, I've heard of some people buying a brand new device with S-Off from the factory. Both of my HTC devices were S-On. I used rumrunner to S-Off my One Max and Revoked to S-Off my original Incredible.
With that said, is there a guide/tool to turn S-On with our One Max? Just for information purposes.
