Just flash a kernel and Rom based on the old firmware, and flash the old radios if you are s off.

If you are completely stock then there is no going back. Your basically on a one way dead end street..

Yes, just be patient and wait a few days. A solution will be out before you know it.

Since we have the original file, has anyone tried to RUU back/downgrade to the previous version? I feel like this is too obvious and won't work.

Yeap there's safeguards in place to keep people from flashing firmware older than what's currently installed on a locked device.

I offered $20 to the first person to post a working exploit to unlock the bootloader after taking the OTA. Just thought I would repost this offer here. I prob won't monitor both threads. PM me if you posted first and want the cash! Thanks in advance.

You should contact the guy who was offering to s off via the oem jtag method. His price was very reasonable, and a quick turnaround. His thread is titled something along the lines of "S-off for the impatient"
His s off service wasn't much more expensive than the $20 you put up for bounty money.

New HTC dev code?

Had to relock s-on hboot 1.5 long story. After accepting stock ics update can I unlock again? will they give me a new code or is it a one time thing? Didn't save old email.

You'll get a new code. Just follow the same steps as before.

Best suggestion is to save it to your fastboot file easiest way to save the coffee for later the you should be able to use the same one. I've done every update through the RUU and never gotten a new code. Its been the same since day one.

Just out of curiosity, is it actually a new code or is it just going through the same process? I thought the ID that you had to send in was essentially just a unique ID for the phone itself.

Drwario is correct. The software can't be posted on the forums. However Carret included a guide for it in his Guide.

For those with the new update

Does anyone know if someone is working on a possible root method for it, I'm dying to root again. Had to get a replacement device and came with the update already on it.
Thanks

Don't forget you can attain s off with a jtag flash I think it costs $45 bucks, there's a great guy here on XDA that has the equipment and after talking to him I good bit I feel safe sending him my device which is my baby, and I'm very picky especially since I had to drop 7 Benjamins on this phone

Yes, but most people want their phone to be opened up, voiding the warranty and whatnot.

[Q] Downgrade for bootloader unlock?

Hey all,
So I wanted to load up a custom ROM on my DNA eventually, unfortunately I didn't read that accepting the latest Verizon OTA would not allow me to do that, and therefore I took the OTA.
I was wondering, is it possible to downgrade to the original build (1.15 i think) that shipped with the phone via an RUU? Because then I would be able to use the current unlock method, correct?
Thanks!
p.s I read around, and I didn't see anything about this, but I apologize if I missed it.
No, it is currently impossible to unlock your phone.

Thanks for a speedy reply! I had a hunch that would be so, oh well, I can live with it stock. It's really good as is!
You can pay for a jtag service.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
I was about to suggest that too. Its only $45 I think for the guy in Dallas and well worth it. I've been in communication with them and they have been GREAT to work with on several issues, I'd send my phone to them in a heartbeat.
To find the thread Google "XDA DNA s off for the impatient."

Unroot for warranty

Ok guys, I've looked everywhere so don't flame me please, lol. My wife needs to return her phone cuz it won't hardly charge. How do I get back to stock? Meaning, where do I find the stock Rom, how do i do it etc. Thanks in advance for the help.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Even if the phone is rooted. If it's an actual charger port issue then Tmobile would replace it anyways. I think. But first return to STOCK by flashing the RUU. (I would give you a link but I'm sure you will find it faster on your computer then I would on my phone).
I'm never too sure though. I think there is a way to change the bootloader to-day "LOCKED" but idk what it was.

Someone on here made a mod that reset the lock status flag. Maybe that can help.

I'm looking for it. I found this. But it might just be the relocked status

Hey have you flashed correct RUU.??
Bcoz many people tried it and it is worked for them very well..
Try again.
No issue of relocked.
Bcoz relock status will be shown if you lock your bootloader through oem lock process.
Try to follow next step...
