I guess there is no way to be s-off, then get all the way back to locked and stock RUU and it still say "locked" on the bootloader, huh? Mine now says relocked, and i haven't RUU'ed yet.
I believe the RUU will put you back 100% stock including bootloader and recovery. I'll let you know once I'm finished ruu'ing... lolI guess there is no way to be s-off, then get all the way back to locked and stock RUU and it still say "locked" on the bootloader, huh?

Does anyone know if I need to do this before I use RUU tool? Because I tried qbking77 tut and bricked my device. This is my first HTC one device and I was able to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery and adb sideload Rom.zip. so can someone shed some light here. As I have a couple questions.

The instructions in the OP do the same thing as using an RUU executable, this just happens to be the ROM.zip that gets created in your Windows temporary directory from the RUU executable. It's just a more direct way of flashing the RUU using the bootloader.
Truthfully, running the RUU executable performs a few other checks like what your current version is and asks you if you want to continue etc., but it then just uses the ROM.zip to restore your device.
Were you S-Off before your device got bricked? Did doing ADB Sideload brick your device, because I don't think you can flash an RUU that way, the RUU ROM zip does not flash from custom recovery like other zips.
If you can get into fastboot in the bootloader, you can use the method in the OP, otherwise you will have to try the RUU executable which is run from Windows usually while the phone is booted into Android. Either method should run whether you are locked, custom recovery, etc. The only thing that will cause problems is if you are on a newer version trying to go back to an earlier version and you are S-On. If you are S-Off it doesn't matter.
im on version 1.29.651.10. and the files provided will not work unless im s-off, correct? bc im am currently s-on. what is the deal with firmwares as i am a little confused. thanks for the reply btw.

Were you able to get back to stock and have it say "locked" (not "relocked") on the bootloader?
Well maybe these pics will tell you more than I can. Sorry I didn't post back sooner. Recovery & bootloader after running this ruu. Hope this helps.
That's awesome. I'm still new at this...how did you get it to "locked" vs. "relocked"?? I was on the 1.31.651.2 update and used the process 18th.abn posted here...

...to get back to 1.29.651.7 with the encrypted Rom.zip. Mine now shows "relocked" though. I'd like to get it back to "locked" because the proximity sensor went bad (while it was stock). Still possible to get back to "locked"?
I followed This thread and my bootloader ended up "locked" and not "relocked" Hope this helps you.
Thanks man, I ended up getting the same thing. I wasn't sure since the videos say it will show "relocked", but I ended up with "locked" and S-On. I had to mail it back to get the proximity sensor repaired, so this was a huge relief. :good:
Great to hear it worked for ya, be sure and thank the op for the ruu you ran as well.
