i have looked through the threads and i did not see anything about this question or anything close enough to it. I need to go back to sprint to get my phone fixed (the microphone doesn't always work. sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. i have found that it is not software related, but definitely a hardware issue.) but i do not want to get my account noted or anything. right now i am s-off (NOT htc dev unlocked), running TWRP recovery v 2.2.0, and running meanrom with a custom kernel that was installed with meanrom. i know i can run an RUU and return to stock, but i will still be s-off. i did install a custom bootloader (thanks to regaw_leinad) that makes it look like i am s-on and not tampered, but i do not know if sprint can still see if i am s-off. sorry if this is a noob question, but i have never dealt with s-off before.

thank you! that was exactly what i was looking for! i guess i didn't look hard enough
sorry.but just to clarify, i cannot just leave my phone s-off? if i take it to sprint with s-off, but the custom bootloader that makes it look stock from regaw_leinad, will they still be able to find out that i am s-off?
I have never returned my phone to s-on in two years. I've never had a problem with the Sprint stores. It's your call though. If you do s-on it, tell them you don't want it updated. If it was me I would just have the stock rom on it and call it good
ok, last question. if i run the latest ruu, will it update my hboot? i am still on 1.12 and i do not want a newer one. i downloaded the 1.13.651.1 ruu. is this fine? i am running meanrom v 4.0 if that info is needed.
I'm about to go 100% back to stock as well to try and resolve many of the problems i'm having, this thread has been particularly helpful, thanks
i have confirmed that it does indeed update your hboot.
if you have hboot 1.12, then use this ruu:

it is the 1.13.651.1 ruu. it has hboot 1.12 in it.

i am glad to posted a helpful thread. but we can thank metalfan78 for supplying the information that helped us
sorry to post a third time, but i ran the ruu that i previously posted a link to and went to the sprint store (i also had to re-flash the custom bootloader from the regaw_leinad tool). they had no clue i was s-off or i had done anything to my phone. but there is one problem. if they had tried to update it and it updated the bootloader as well, it would have removed the custom one and put HTCs back on it. that wouldnt be a problem as you would still be s-off, but instead of looking stock(s-on, locked), it would now say s-off in the bootloader. so if you want to be sure that the sprint employees will not be able to tell you modded your phone, you do have to return to s-on. chances are that they wont try to update it, but its better to be safe than sorry!
