Root [International] [how to]return to 100% stock from revone or moonshine s off

[scotty85]

WARNING!!!
DO NOT turn your secureflag on unless on a stock,signed hboot.

s-on with an eng signed or patched hboot will hard brick your device immediately.(read: permanently bricked,unrecoverable)

in other words,ONLY use the writesecureflag 3 command AFTER running an RUU. never before.

im sure were mostly to excited to want to go back to s on just yet,since we just got s-off but its a matter of time before this comes up,so here ya go:

prerequisites:
-that you know your stock CID and build number(x.xx.xxx.x for example, xxx=531= tmobile, xxx=401= htc europe)

if you have a relocked bootloader,and want to reset the lock status to read locked,reference this thread: http://androidforums.com/internatio...t/732395-how-reset-your-lock-status-flag.html

if needed,flash "lock_bootloader.zip" in clockwork recovery,then procede to the following steps.

1)restore your mid,if you changed that.
2)donwload and run an RUU for your most current STOCK carrier/reigonal build
3)open a cmd window. plug in phone,charge only mode,usb debugging on.
4)run the following:

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx (where xxxxxxxx is your stock CID. example: HTC__001 or T-MOB010)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot getvar cid (verify your stock CID)

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

fastboot reboot-bootloader

*verify you are locked s-on

fastboot reboot

correct.

however...

think twice about attempting to turn s on on a vzw device whose bootloader is nto officially unlockable. you may end up locked into bootloader with security warning that you cannot recovery from without an official signed ruu.
