Hello,

You would have to unlock the bootloader which can be done on the newest HBOOT 1.55 to my knowledge. Then RUU back to 4.1.2. You would then have to achieve S OFF from 4.1.2 to reset/remove the Tampered Tag on your bootloader and lock things back up as if it was never touched.

Currently there is no method to achieve S OFF from 4.3 and the new HBOOT 1.55.

Note: I did it already myself from 4.3, but I went all the way back to 4.1.2 (1.29 version) instead of the newer 1.31

Grab it from the link below.

So, the hboot version doesn't matter. I already have the bootloader unlocked. Another issue I'm having is that my twrp recovery locks up when I go to it. Should I try to reflash twrp or go to cwm? When all is said and done, can I go to 4.3 again or should I just stay on the stock Rom?

If it was me, I would RUU back to 4.1.2 and obtain S OFF and then your golden to do whatever you like because you can flash or change anything once you have S OFF. Radios, versions of bootloader, etc.

I'm running 4.3 firmware minus the new bootloader and a 4.3.based custom Rom all with S OFF

Yes that is good news for folks on 4.3 looking to obtain S OFF without having to roll back using an RUU to 4.1.2 to get it done.

I see they just added the Sprint model, I grabbed the Linux version since the Windows version had a broken link.

I'm already S OFF but just to have in my collection
