yep you should do that if you were s-off. while s-on you can't downgrade.

firmware would be the same as bios... that's the idea. but in fact it is much more.
a firm comes from otas which typically contains those partitions:
- bootloader
- radio
- recovery
- boot
- system

the firms posted around contains the two first partitions.

what you could try is flash the stock recovery, and a stock boot & system image and wait to see if an ota is coming.

EDIT : or while stock pay 25$ to s-off. and then you could flash whatever firm you want. by the way you seem to only need a radio.img (this is one which is invalid

great info mate, thanks

but where can I get the radio.img and OpenDSP.img alone. Also, I didn't quite understand the following "or while stock pay 25$ to s-off."

in OTA.zip from your carrier that's been posted somewhere, or by waiting for OTA with stock recovery / boot / system images.
that's the hard part.

just meant when you boot into stock rom. use sunshine to s-off and pay if it says your device is compatible... it is worth it. sunshine needs stock (or close to) stock roms to succeed its hack. don't update befor sunshine (as the exploit sunshine uses have been patched in the latest updates from htc). that's all.

So your still pretty much on my post 27 ... find the firmware or the OTA.zip
I'm guessing just the radio will not fix your problem

The firmware / stock recovery and radio are all in this zip
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712461258

download that and remove the firmware.zip from it to your fastboot folder
then to flash it

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <2 times if it ask to flush the image again>
fastboot reboot

,
seeing I need the warranty back, I believe I'll need to flash the firmware in the following order...PLEASE correct me if wrong:

1. Achieve S-OFF status using Sunshine
2. Flash the Firmware( I take it this also returns the phone to Stock recovery?(these terms always confuse me..Firmware/Stock-Recovery))
3. Re-lock the Boot-loader

what warranty ? flashing the firmware should fix your phone ... done

Edit sorry forgot you had a blown speaker

yes you'll need s-off to get rid of the tampered and return your phone to Locked / not relocked

You can use the super guide here to get back to stock

copied firmware.zip to adb folder, fastboot.exe is also there

adb devices =
"xxxxxxxxxxxx device"

so it's recognized.

when I enter: fastboot oem rebootRUU
it stays at "waiting for device"

any idea why.....Should I be in the bootloader during this process?

btw...I am now S-OFF (used sunshine) and the RADIO and OpenDSP is now showing up again without doing the firmware stuff. So what do I need now to get it back to "warranty status", TWRP is still installed etc... SORRY Guys!
here: an image of the most recent bootloader

Yes the phone must be connected to the PC, and the bootloader must say fastboot USB when you enter fastboot commands

seems you still need to remove the Tempered and set the phone from unlocked to locked ..then flash the RUU

ok, seems I got right now and updated the system via normal update to AD 4.4.4 and htc 3.32.111.9
2 Questions:

1. should I manually uninstall superSU and TWRP before sending to htc, I don't know how strict they are on their conditions?
2. out of interest...why did you roll back to 4.4.3 and sense 5.5

New image of bootloader attached...is this as it should be now?

thanks

its obviously the best to get to factory stock....and twrp and root is not considered factory stock.

so I should actually install that whole OTA above that you provided and not just the Firmware---or what am I missing here?

you just uninstall supersu from the os
and as the last step flash stock recovery from the OTA you have
you flash it the same as you did TWRP

i didnt provide anything ? just saying.....bring it to stock. unroot and flash back the stock recovery. that's all.

yep your right LOL, you didn't provide anything, I didn't notice that it was your post and thought I was talking to "clsA"

. He gave me the link below, that's what I meant:

hmmm...so many old ways to uninstall SuperSU, but which is the correct one that also removes twrp. I can't boot into twrp recovery anymore?

well it seems I can't do that now, as the software has updated twice from flashed firmware 2.23.111.3 > 3.32.111.3 and again today > 3.32.111.9.
I don't believe that's available anywhere at the mo. Do I have to wait for the new one or can I downgrade to the available 3.32.111

if you took OTA updates just send it off for repair
