I need to revert back to stalk and I don't have backup off stock. Any info of how to install, where to get the right ROM/ruu stock file would be great!

This should be the RUU you need.
AndroidRUU | The #1 source for Android RUU files

Download that and follow the instructions in the first post and you will be back to factory settings.
 
Should I lock phone while in USB fast boot mode before I run ruu. I just want to be sure as I see on the post a few diff methods.
 
i updated my phone to jb via ota update, but not liking it, want to revert back to ics (i.e the original shipped rom)
i havent done anything with my phone, no rooting , no flashing, nothing

i have downloaded a ruu with name
RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.150_Radio_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_M_release_299367_signed

my device parameters are
***LOCKED***
VILLEC2 PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-3.01.0000
RADIO-16.11.20.24_M
OpenDSP-v11.6.0.2235.00.0304
eMMC-boot

to restore to ics should i connect my phone in fastboot mode(htc sync is installed), and directly run the above ruu? my phone will not brick na?:confused:
 
Your hboot doesn't match so the Rom/ruu I have won't work. Do what I did ans call HTC dev dept and thy will give you the ruu you need free. Plus anyone here will be able to help. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck

the above arrows indicate you can run pretty much any ruu that you want.

if you were originally an unbranded european phone,id prolly recomend this one: Shipped ROMs wich is consistent with your MID

if youre planning on running stock for awhile,first please leave s off. second,id recomend to change your cid to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores) as some folks had some troubles OTAing with superCID

in fastboot,enter:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
 
I finally went ahead and decided to run the RUU when i type in the code fastboot devices it says waiting for devices and then does not do anything else I am new to all of this so please help
 
I was able to fix the phone not being recognized by the computer i just switched the USB port in which it was plugged into. However when i ran RUU.exe it ran and the window of the setup started up but then it just went away and nothing happened. The setup window never cam back and nothing took place. What should i do?
 
Coukd be a bad download. Compare the md5 of the file you're running to one provided for the download,if one is available. You may need to redownload,and you may need to temporarily turn off the securitys on your pc during the download and running of the .EXE

You will need a working adb/fastboot environment and device drivers. If you do not have those already please follow the steps from the first post in this guide: http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-...recovery-root-your-htc-one-s.html#post4331626 first, otherwise continue on.

Getting the RUU

First of all boot into bootloader and enter the following fastboot commands:

Code: 
fastboot devices
in the command prompt (if you get serial number,then proceed). This is just to make sure your computer is recognizing that the phone is connected.
Code: 
fastboot getvar all
This is just to make sure we can find the right RUU to match your current hboot/firmware.

You should see something like (some numbers replaced with *):
Code: 
C:\sdk-tools>fastboot devices
************    fastboot

C:\sdk-tools>fastboot getvar all
INFOversion: 0.5
INFOversion-bootloader: 1.14.0004
INFOversion-baseband: 1.08ts.50.02.16
INFOversion-cpld: None
INFOversion-microp: None
INFOversion-main:
INFOversion-misc: PVT SHIP S-OFF
INFOserialno: ************
INFOimei: ***************
INFOproduct: vle
INFOplatform: HBOOT-8960
INFOmodelid: PJ4011000
INFOcidnum: T-MOB010
INFObattery-status: good
INFObattery-voltage: 4138mV
INFOpartition-layout: Generic
INFOsecurity: off
INFObuild-mode: SHIP
INFOboot-mode: FASTBOOT
INFOcommitno-bootloader: 8b9e2080
INFOhbootpreupdate: 11
INFOgencheckpt: 0
all: Done!
finished. total time: 0.075s
Download the RUU that matches your carrier, hboot version, and baseband. If you are S-Off/SuperCID, you can run any RUU. Otherwise it must match those or it will not run. You can find that info in the output of fastboot getvar all from above.

You can find some RUU's for the HTC One S here and here.

Preparing to run the RUU
To run the RUU, here's what you will need to do:
  • Make sure phone is charged to 100%
  • Place phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from hboot menu), plug in via usb.
  • Open a command prompt window, change to android directory (wherever you set this up for adb/fastboot) and enter the following commands (one at a time):
    Code: 
    fastboot devices
fastboot oem lock
  • This will lock your bootloader and allow you to run the RUU. The phone will try and reboot, or it will give you a security warning, and lock you into bootloader. Don't worry, this is normal.
Running the RUU
  1. Make sure the HTC drivers you downloaded earlier are installed and working. Do this by connecting your phone to your computer. If your computer detects it, your drivers are working. I recommend staying in fastboot usb mode after entering the commands above, the RUU.exe will detect that and be able to work from fastboot.
  2. Run the RUU.exe (that you downloaded earlier) on the PC as administrator. It takes a few minutes to boot up, so don't be alarmed if it doesn't appear immediately.
  3. Follow the prompts. It should ask you to ensure your phone is plugged into the computer and that ADB debugging is on. As long as you left it plugged in from earlier you are fine.
  4. The RUU should recognize the phone and start running. Be patient, do not unplug the phone under any circumstances!!

When it finishes, it will reboot, you will be stock again.

?Question? (and I am a newbie!) do I have to go through the unlock process again? AND root?
Thanks
