Hey guys need ur help with going back to stock.Essentially I flashed the stock ruu and locked the bootloader and toggled my device from S-OFF to S-ON but i forgot to flash the stock recovery after rooting my phone using TWRP. Now my device is S-ON with bootloader locked and with custom recovery.I tried to use revone-0.2.1 to S-OFF and then unlock my bootloader but after few tries it says successful but when i checked the bootloader it shows S-ON and tampered.I even used firewater thta was also unsuccessful so please i need urgent help.

P.S My phone is still rooted.

You don't need to soff to flash stock recovery. You need unlocked bootloader. Unlock it using aio kit and you can flash stock recovery after that. You cannot flash recovery with a locked bootloader.

well i tried using revone's option of unlocking bootloader shows error code -1

Hboot is 1.44

and if ur talking about using the unlock bin code i need stock recovery for that.Can someone provide me a signed stock recovery as i tried to flash a recovery from ruu but it shows signature verification failure.

well I couldn't find signed ruu, OTA, or signed firmware for your version, so best to start over from the beginning (unlock, s-off, etc), and do it again.

but one thing:

the RUU already has stock recovery, so why would you have TWRP there?


EDIT: if you have the recovery.img, maybe make a TWRP flashable zip and install it using twrp. Don't know if that works though.

can you check my guide on how to do it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2541082

RUU.ZIP method using this http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu-zip...0-01_release_312087_signed_2_4_decrypted-zip/

this is a decrypted ruu.zip, so it only works with S-OFF.
