[guide] back to stock from facepalm s-off

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 :eek: 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://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2155955

flash "lock_bootloader.zip" in your recovery of choice,then procede to the following steps.

1)donwload and run an RUU for your most current STOCK carrier/reigonal build
2)open a cmd window. plug in phone,charge only mode,usb debugging on.
3)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
