sorry it was a fail but will keep working
S-ON will not allow them to be flashed. Not even with a goldcard

If Nand can be unlocked (S-OFF) then the bootloader can be downgraded but that's the initial hurdle is finding a way since the bootloader is encrypted

Will I get the official OTA update if I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev method? Actually, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev on my sensation which is still in Android 2.3.4. (At that point I didn't know that doing that would not allow supercid and all that stuff.)
If I will get the update.. I just wanted to know after the official OTA update from HTC, will it be a like a new phone? (yeah, i know it will be factory reset.. but i wanted to know if my bootloader, rooting and etc. Will that remain?)
I want the all the rooting and unlocked bootloader not to stay so that i can start afresh with Revolutionary and flash one of the Sense 4 ROMs.. Please help!!
Thank you!

Yes you will receive OTA and bootloader will remain **unlocked**. All you need to receive OTA is stock rom, stock recovery and original cid (S-OFF or S-ON doesn't matter).
By the way if you are still on android 2.3.4 most probably your Hboot is 1.18 that means you can S-Off using Revolutionary and then supercid, root etc.. (you can revert easily to original cid and stock recovery anytime).
If you upgrade to ICS 4.0 with Hboot 1.27 you won't be able to S-OFF and supercid unless someone will find a solution. Actually Hboot 1.27 is not supported by Revolutionary.
Ota to ICS 4.0 will not factory reset your phone. Your data and apps will be untouched.
Honestly I don't understand if you are rooted or not. Unlocking bootloader by HtcDev doesn't mean you are rooted. Could you please clarify?
Hope it helps.
I have hboot 1.18, with bootloader unlocked using HTC Dev, and I'm running ARHD with stock kernel.
Revolutionary gives me the zerg root error, so I used HTC Dev method. But now I'm unable to use the tacoroot method because my bootloader is unlocked. I tried relocking the bootloader, but that gives me a security warning and I can't boot my phone normally without unlocking it again.
Can someone please tell me how to upgrade to ICS now?
I'm a noob and I don't want to experiment too much and brick my phone.

hmm by relocking you mean fastboot oem lock ?
that should not give security warning...
also before trying tacoroot ...you should flash stock recovery first...any GB stock recovery would do...(fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
I had a NANDROID backup which I made just after unlocking the bootloader and rooting my phone. I restored that backup before relocking (fastboot oem lock) but it gave me the security warning.
Also, what if I relock the bootloader and then run a BG RUU? Would that work?
Good evening,
I completed the HBOOT downgrade found in the developer forum with no issues. Once on 1.06, I attempted to unlock the bootloader and it did not work. The bootloader unlock screen appears but once the phone reboots the bootloader remains relocked. I ran two RUUs (1.09 and 1.14 respectively) but I am still plagued by the relocked bootloader. I noticed my device ID changes with each attempt. I read the entire downgrade forum but none of the solutions helped me. Please assist.
Thank you

Em I'm sure you can't downgrade with a locked bootloader. The only thing that comes to mind is to keep trying, I had to do it a few times myself.
I completed the downgrade. I wish to unlock the bootloader. I flashed the RUUs to see if they would allow me to do so on a different HBOOT

I still don't see this is even possible without the bootloader being already unlocked.
My bootloader was unlocked before I downgraded. I had to lock it so that I could flash RUU. I am now having trouble unlocking it again.

Why did you flash the RUU? there was no need for that. All I can say is keep trying. What was you Hboot before downgrading?
good luck mate i have the same problem and i can't do anything
My hboot was 1.14 I was having radio issues so I downgraded. Once on 1.06 I could not get my bootloader unlocked so I flashed RUUs to see if I could work from there.
Even now nothing has helped you?
I think you messed it up with running the RUU when there was no need too. Maybe try getting the JB OTA update and try again after.
Very well. Do you know where I can obtain the JB update? I

By running a RUU and just wait in till you get the update.

I continually flashed the unlock code and eventually I was able to unlock the bootloader.
my problem is that i can't get the token from htcdevs, i all ways get an error. i'll try with an old token and see if it works
So I was going to buy a new phone, and trade in my sensation for it, so I reverted to stock. Except I installed the wrong RUU for my region and only noticed after re-enabling s-on, and then I was really stupid and tried to flash the right rom.zip while it was s-on and now my phone only boots into the bootloader... how can I S-off and reinstall the right RUU from only the bootloader? Revolutionary is constantly waiting for my device and htc's token id unlocker isn't recognising it either, and when it does it always comes up with an error

do you have htc drivers installed?
if now you have 1.17-1.18 hboot version then revolutionary.io method is the only way to S-OFF
for flashing ruu from bootloader see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 (step 4)
but first you have to be S-OFF
Hi guys I think I know how to do it but any help or advise is always appreciated. This is what I know:
1.- I downloaded RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTC_One_X_RUU_5.18.502.1.exe
2.- Phone Information: Android 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, Software Version 3.18.502.6 710RD, BaseBand 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34L Hboot version 2.14.
3.- Phone is not rooted, not boot loader unlocked, supercid'ed or nothing.
So as far as I know I just need to install HTC Sync for dab and fast boot drivers and after that connect phone with debug enabled, run RUU utility and wait for finish update?
Thanks in advance
If you ever want to unlock your bootloader do not take that update, it has patched the latest root exploit. I'd suggest unlocking your bootloader, installing TWRP recovery, installing Superuser or SuperSU to get root, getting s-off, all before considering running the RUU. If you don't do this before taking the update you may never be able to unlock the phone.
Once you've done all that you can leave the bootloader unlocked and still run the RUU. This way you can experience the update but already have the freedom of an unlocked bootloader.

Just follow the instruction on the following webpage under "Manual system update instructions":
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/news/
HTC Sync is required, but fast boot drivers are not required, and I don't believe USB debugging is required either.
Once you run the RUU executable, it will walk you through step-by-step. Also be aware this will wipe the data partition (but not the "virtual SD" partition). So backup your data accordingly. I'd also backup what is on the virtual SD, just to be safe.
As timmaaa mentioned, the new RUU and OTA updates close the existing exploits, so if you have any desire to mod the phone in the future, its highly recommended to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, S-off before running the RUU.

So, what you both recommend is:
Follow timmaaa thread to get supercid and then unlock boot loader via HTC Dev and after that run rumrunner to get S-OFF?
If that's correct I have a question, can I run a RUU with S-OFF and Supercid? Do I have to relock bootloader in fastboot to run?

Yes that's right. You need to use the 3.18 root method to get SuperCID, then you can unlock your bootloader. Once you unlocked your bootloader you can install TWRP recovery which will allow you to install root. Once you have root you can get s-off.
The only way you can safely run an RUU with SuperCID is if you have s-off, if you run an RUU with SuperCID and s-on you'll brick your phone. You don't need to relock the bootloader.

I clearly stated: "if you have any desire to mod the phone in the future, its highly recommended to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, S-off before running the RUU"
So I'm not sure why you are asking what I recommend.
If you want further clarification: If you ever want to root, or install custom ROMs on the phone, then you should SuperCID, unlock the bootloader, S-off before running the RUU.
If you intend to keep the phone stock, and never root or install custom ROMs, then its okay to run the 5.18 RUU.

Yes, you can. And you should be able to do so with the bootloader unlocked.
Also, be aware that running past Jellybean RUUs with SuperCID and S-on will brick the phone. Its not known whether this still holds true for 5.18 RUU, but I'd assume it does, and never run the RUU with SuperCID and S-on. Simply get S-off first.
There isn't a reason not to get s off either. Super easy with rumrunner and from there use fastboot oem writecid
