Root Trying to return to stock

[scotty85]

reading thru the directions on the unbrick thread again,you actually may not need the RUU. the tools just replace the hboot,wich theoretically should boot your current rom.

i opend up your ruu,and it looks like it contains hboot 1.90.0008,so if you did need to run an older ruu,that one should work.

again,i wouldnt recomend it,it may leave your phone permantly dead.

I wouldnt mind trying the bricking method since I see lots of people have succeeded, but that giant Red Disclaimer about JB OTA is definitely a turnoff !! I feel like there has to be a workaround for the write protection... I've been trying all of this on Windows 7, but I also have Ubuntu Linux 12.10. Do you think the OS being used would make a difference?

 

[scotty85]

No,Linux would not make a difference. The write protection is pretty serious stuff. To this day,you can't change the cid or s-off the tegra 3 one X.

I wonder if the new HTC one that's coming out soon will be this protected. I was thinking of buying it but I dont like that they're basically preventing people from fully owning their devices! I'm gonna wait and get a second phone,if by then there's still no other way of achieving S-off, I will send it in for the JTag method! If for what ever reason I were to permanently brick my phone, would they still be able to achieve S-off through the JTag method???

generally as the tricks are patched up,new devices are outfited with all the patches. likely the new One will be just as difficult to deal with. the good thing is that jtag should always be a viable option for qualcom based phones that josh is willing to mess with. i personally dont plan on getting a One until i at lease know i can send it in for jtag s off. am waiting to play with one to make a final choice between that and the butterfly(the no sd card thing is hard for me to get around )

it would depend on what you did to brick the phone. anything that simply destroyed a valuable part of the filesytem without blowing "qfuses" would easily be revivable and s offable at the same time with jtag. i think most things that you could do to an s on phone would be fixable.

I was thinking that right before I decided to send my phone in for JTag, I would try the Linux/Bricking method and disregard the RED Disclaimer about the JB OTA! If it didnt work and I ended up bricking my phone, there's no harm, no foul because I was going to send it in anyways! If it did work I would save some $$,lol!! In that scenario would JTag still be possible???

 

[scotty85]

I would think that scenario would be jtag revivable... The brick is created by trashing mmcblk0p4,IIRC... But I'm not an expert on it,so we can't be 100% sure

Going trough the s=off revolutionary method on HTC One, I can say that it works. Sometimes the script "put out a fight", but for most of them worked at first try. I hope that revolutionary make that script for our phone. I did try, but did not worked.
