Root How to S-ON your phone? (unroot)

Hey everyone,

I rooted my phone (more like ruined) a few months ago. Today is the first time the battery completely died and upon restarting it (on a charger) it wouldn't load the OS. I've tried everything, including a factory reset (which only worked momentarily until that ended up breaking too!)

I want to un-do this root. I want to start by turning S-Off to S-On.

Please help,

Thanks!

You don't need to s on to unroot or be stock. You can flash a zip file in recovery to lock the bootloader. Then you can run an ruu,and youlld be competely stock,and can ota to current firmware.

Turning s on is a bad idea with a Verizon device,and could easily cause issues that you can not recover from.
 
Ok, I just really want it stock. My phone has been acting really weird. I even did a factory restore and it worked, but then it randomly turned off and I was bricked AGAIN! UGH!

So I Downloaded the RUU for 1.5 (factory one) and I get a 155 error... I've tried multiple times and searched everywhere for a solution. It said I am using the wrong RUU for my device, but i've tried multiple RUU's and still get the same results... Ugh, this is frustrating.

Thanks for helping, any more help would be great. I have fastboot and adb commands.
 
My OS is 3.06.605.4
And my RUU is
RUU_DLX_WL_JB_45_VERIZON_WWE_1.15.605.4_Radio_1.00.00.1023_3_NV_VZW_1.98_002_release_290923_signed
 
This is what my phone says specifically in bootloader

*** RELOCKED ***
MONARUDO PVT SHIP S-OFF RH
CID-VZW_001
HBOOT-1.54.0000
RADIO-1.01.01.1112
OPENDSP-v10.120.274.0520
OS-3.06.605.4
eMMC-boot 2048MB

Then I get the "fastboot USB" etc.
 
Glad to hear you are up and running :)

Sorry I didn't get to your other questions soon enuff. By the time I got home,you had allready posted solved.

Were you able to get the ruu to run? Another option would have been to extract rom.zip and flashed that from fastboot.
