Root Help!

im trying to run the RUU and it will not work. im unlocked, s-on, and running harmonia and for some reason i cant get it to work. any ideas?

I have one. Try locking the bootloader before running the ruu.

fastboot oem lock

It's a requirement when s-on.

If you get another error after locking then you'll need to flash this zip: https://db.tt/JUdxrcC0 via recovery, then attempt ruu again.

Also, you're on hboot 1.57 correct?

Ah, bummer. Being s-on, you can't run the ruu after taking that latest ota. Because it upgraded your hboot, as part of the security checks, the ruu will not allow you to downgrade while s-on.

Your only option is to become as stock as possible through stock roms or move forward with s-off.

Can I ask what you need the ruu for? Are you stuck in a bootloop?
