You have to find an RUU that updates the SPL. But then, i think, that the phone validates the SPL. The ENG_SPL wont pass security unless you know how to crack it.... Or make the ENG_SPL valid!

the first one qustion:
so...u mean evan if i replace the ENG_SPL
but it will not pass the security checking?
then the second question:
i replace the ENG_SPL
but the RUU will think it is "original" SPL?

Even if you raplace it, it wont pass security check because it has to be signed.

If you're rooted then you're s-off'd then I recommend that you stay away from OTA's if you want better software go for a custom rom.

You can fallback to S-ON, and then OTA update then S-OFF and Root again.
You can follow my diagram below in order to fallback to S-ON.

I don't suggest doing an OTA update it only screws the Stock ROM, I did mine and it had Hell Battery Drain.. so I decided to S-OFF and ROOT mine
When you are S-OFF and install other ROM, you can't install an official ROM via OTA.
If the ROM installed is OTA updateable, you can download it from: Rom Manager app from Market.
I've just a question about the passage from the state SHIP S-OFF 6.98.1002 to SHIP S-ON 0.98.000x: since it is necessary to use RUU, does the phone get wiped? What if I use Linux?

In this case you can download RUU in ZIP format, rename it to PG88IMG.zip, copy to SD card and reboot your phone to bootloader to flash.
You can find RUU in zip format here:
http://goo-inside.me/ruu/saga/full
BTW you have to switch your hboot to ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 first.
(see my diagram above)
I am a bit puzzled... So is it possible to s-on again (to ota update ofcourse) without full wipe?? I truely hate backup/restore in gigabyte era...

According to my diagram above, you will fallback to s-on by executing RUU file, and this will do full wipe ofcourse.
I'm not sure if we can flash S-ON hboot over hboot ENG S-OFF 0.98.2000 by fastboot or adb command or not.
Hi. Thanks for the answer. All pretty much clear now...
Hi,
Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm not sure what (if anything) I would need to do to get this official ROM and ideally rooted when available.
I am currently S-Off via XTC Clip and rooted, my H-Boot details are: 0.98.002.
From previous experience I cannot do an OTA update but in any event need root.
Sorry to be stupid but any ideas what I would need to do when a rooted version of the update becomes available.
Many thanks,
Damian

[Q] Can't flash RUU and get back to stock Rom

Hi,
I tried to flash RUU rom into my phone (DESIRE S).
I followed the instruction in the "How to S-ON the HTC Desire S, Unroot, remove Revolutionary and Clockwork Mod recovery" thread.
Apparently I tried to flash wrong RUU.
The flashing stopped in the middle and I get error massage that the version not matches my phone.
However my HBOOT change to version 2.00.0002 and he's locked and S-ON.
I unlock my phone with HTC tool HTCDEV. I flash CWM recovery and restored the previous ROM.
I tried to flash deferent RUU, this time I check my phone (from India) and find the right version, but I get another error massage.
RUU I tried to flash:
RUU_Saga_S_hTC_Asia_India_2.15.720.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_226809_signed.exe
I think my HBOOT is the problem.
My HBOOT:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 2.00.0002
RADIO-382.10.08.04_M
Emmc-boot
Aug 22 2011,15:22:13
Which HBOOT image I need to flash, to flashing the RUU?
Thanks!
Before flashing another RUU, use misc_version script to "downgrade" your phone's main version.
It needs root.
can't get ROOT
Thanks for your answer
I solved this problem before I see your answer – I relock my HBOOT and run RUU exe file.
But now I have other problem:
I can't ROOT my phone
I tried 3 deferent methods:
[EXPLOIT] [26.04.2011][v1.2] GingerBreak APK (root for GingerBread)
[EXPLOIT]SuperOneClick v2.1.1 (Finally fixed!)
[EXPLOIT] Revolutionary - zergRush local root 2.2/2.3 | revolutionary root exploit
superOneClick – stuck in step 7 "WaitForDevice"
How can I get ROOT?
Thanks!
Downgrade or unlock the bootloader. The guides for both of those are in big INDEX thread.
u dnt need to downgrade
just unlock with ur unlock.bin code
then root with SuperOneClick
am sure of this steps cos am on stock and dat was d process i uesed
cheers

I know that for many people on XDA, English isn't their first language - but most of them try or use Google translate. This is either a prime example of the good 1st World education system or just someone who thinks they are going to sound cool.

[Q] zergRush error when trying to downgrade hboot 2.0.2.002

I have unlocked the phone using htcdev and it is hboot 2.02.002 s-on. I am trying to downgrade to 0.98.. using the zergRush method mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
I can't get this to work and have seemed to have tried everything. When i try to run zergRush I get the following error
"link_image[1913]: 3985 missing essential tablesCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE"
here is a screen grab of me completing the steps from that thread:

Does anyone know what is causing this error? and what should I do to resolve it?
I have been trying to work this out for days now. My aim is to s-off the phone, root it and flash pacman rom onto it.
Any help is very much appreciated before I finally go mental
Zergrush doesn't work with ICS.
According to what I've seen posted here, your only option to get root on ICS is to unlock your bootloader via htcdev -- unless you can find another exploit that works
Edit: wait a second, you already unlocked the bootloader. Then all you need to do is flash a custom recovery and from there you can run misc_version to allow you to downgrade your hboot. Then you can run an old RUU that has hboot 0.98 and then you can use revolutionary. You don't need temproot, you already have fastboot access!

I have TWRP recovery set up and have just tried misc_version and got the following:
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.27.405.6
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
image attached again thanks for help
UPDATE: I tried going into adb shell and changing to su then misc_version (see newer screen shot) what do I do now? I have an older ruu...
Created the goldcard again and it sorted the problem I was having with the version number not being correct!
Feel a bit like Andy Murray right now
Thanks for the help

I finally did the ruu today, and got back to stock, I checked to see if I am still rooted or not, using a root checker app, I am not rooted anymore
So now im trying to get s-on back
I used this forum right herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396&highlight=htc+one+s
I think I have to re-root my device now to use ADB shell command to procede with getting s-on back? I am correct?

Nope, just go into bootloader
plug in your phone <fastboot USB>
from your fastboot folder press shift and right click <open command window here>
type
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
that's it.
in this tutorial it shows how to download and put the fastboot files on your pc.

How could you possibly be hboot 2.16 AND S-On? 2.16 was not official so you should have been S-Off to upgrade to it. You lost your S-Off after upgrading hboot?
Anyway, you should be able to see phone in fastboot mode and be able to flash a recovery regardless of your S-On/S-Off state. If you can't flash a recovery, that means your bootloader is locked and you'll have to follow the procedure for unlocking it via HTC Dev site. If you can't see the phone in fastboot, that means your fastboot drivers are not properly installed

OK, you might have upgraded to 2.16 via RUU. Anyway, there says RELOCKED...that means you'r bootloader is NOT unlocked therefore you cannot write any recovery. Follow the instructions for unlocking bootloader on HTC Dev site then flash latest TWRP recovery. Then you can flash any ROM, make S-Off and so on
