Below is the official RUU. This zip can be flashed via fastboot/RUU mode or via SD card. It is NOT rooted.
Flashing this ruu will NOT affect s-status or lock status.

This will be especially useful for users who want to relock/s-on in order to sell or return their phone. Once you have your bootloader locked and tamper flag cleared you can turn s on. Then you can flash this RUU to remove any/all traces of root. This ruu WILL NOT wipe internal storage or data. This RUU is NOT ROOTED! This also can be beneficial for going back to stock to take an OTA.

Remember - You cannot downgrade firmware unless s-off!!!

Option 1

Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32. No exfat! No internal storage! Must be external SD formated to fat32!

Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.


Option 2

EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.

Option 3

Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.

htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen

htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.

## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!
