Is there a way to revert back to pre-OTA/2.3.3? It seems like there are many more issues that fixes with this OTA. I hardly had any problems at all, and now my camera won't focus (can't use any barcode/qr readers), I'm getting the annoying screen capture/home button problem, etc, etc...
Quite annoying and I would have hoped that they would have come up with a fix by now.
RUU is the only way, which means losing all data (unless you root/back up first) - and you'd need to set your phone to Super CID to go backwards (I think) from a newer version to and older one

As long as you're using the correct RUU for the phone, you don't need to change CID. I did it on my T-Mobile Sensation, from OTA 2.3.4 back to stock 2.3.3 through the RUU.

He'll be okay flashing an RUU without SuperCID, it's only needed if flashing an RUU not authorized by the device.
Basically, if the update changed Hboot, he'll need to run revolutionary, then run RUU again as RUU doesn't accept downgrading hboot, which gives weird error codes.
The only way I figured out, was using Revolutionary as it updates the Hboot to an older one.
But as I understand OTA doesn't update Hboot. Right?

I've checked every possible tag in my mind about this and couldn't find one for Sensation.
Is it possible to revet back to the original state before the Revolutionary. Is it possible to completely uninstall the Revolutionary from my phone?
I'm not talking about the s-off -> s-on
I'm talking about returning the phones software to its original state.
Like it is never installed in the first place.
Thank you.
It's funny because last weekend I wanted to do exactly the same thing.
What I learnt was to go from S-OFF back to S-ON can be quite fiddly and tricky, abd if you mess it up rub the risk of bricking your phone.
In order to get the stock Rom, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Now it's just a case of finding which one you are, and your ril and radio.
Good luck
Thank you for your answer. But this is not what I want I can do this already but when I check the bootloader I see the pink "Locked" and it tells me that Revolutionary is still there.
I can go to S-On without any trouble that is not what I am asking.
What I am asking is to be able to get rid of every little bit of coding about the Revolutionary and return my phone to its original bootloader software.
If is says locked then ur good since that's what it said when you bought the phone.

When I get my phone there wasn't such writing. It is the product of Revolutionary.
So it is still there. I want to be able to get rid of it.
I'm not asking this about the warranty purposes. I'm asking this because I've realized that after using Revolutionary I can't install any app from market via wireless no matter what I did. Strangely it is fine to surf and download via mobile.
I know this because this is the Second Sensation I've faced having this problem and I remember some user Leviathan(maybe wrong?) talking about wifi dieing after Revolutionary.
So what I need is to get rid of it and be able to install original bootloader(maybe bootloader is not the right term here I don't know).

flash stock hboot, should come with a ruu file, but you can always check if you extract rom.zip from the ruu.exe.

i am saying that you probably have a modified hboot, because of the revolutionary sOFF, just like alpharev. you need to flash stock hboot to get everything back, hboot flashing is dangerous, if it goes wrong youll have a brick.

Thank you for your answer. I understand what do you mean. But I'm not sure if it will help because while flashing stock rom it also updates hboot.
Probably showing my ignorance but i would like to know if any functionality is lost by changing the bootloader of a rom to the revolutionary bootloader when s-offing the rom?
I would also be grateful if somebody could explain to me what improvements or ill effects a change of bootloader can invoke i.e. what parts of the functionality of the rom do the bootloader effect.
Bootloader doesn't affect the ROM at all. The bootloader is just what boots into a rom.

If you go through the Revolutionary process. You'll get a Hboot with a slightly different version.
You will however, get S-OFF and Su and a Custom Recovery (ClockworkMod, CWM).
The phone will operate normally. You will have the opportunity of backing it up (Nandroid), installing apps that require Root access and install Custom ROMs.
As I think the other poster mentioned, can't see it ATM, the bootloader is Phone based and independent of the ROM.
I originally used a similar process (AlphaRev) on my desire, AlphaRev and Unrevoked produced Revolutionary together.
From personal experience, it has not affected my phone in any adverse manner, as always YMMV. It opened possibilities though.
Then why are there different bootloaders??

Usually 'cos HTC release slightly different versions of them.
The latest one 1.19 seems more locked down for example.
TBH most folks just use Revolutionary to S-OFF etc. then just leave it at that, mine is 1.17.1111 Once it's done it's done. There is a new Radio that seems to require 1.19 but as my phone works well with the current version I have installed, I'm leaving that well alone.
According to their site they can apply S-OFF to the following versions: HTC Sensation (pyramid) 1.17.0006, .0008, .0011 and .0012, 1.18.0000
What are you actually trying to do / want to achieve ?
what u loose is if u are on stock can update using HTC OTA
If u are stock rom u will not be able to make the OTA updates as it will hang since it expect its own hboot, this is the drawback I know. u will have them to reload a stock copy to have the official hboot and recovery again.

Good point.
However Custom ROMs seem to be "nicer" and tend to have updates earlier.
EDIT: As a fellow Vodafone UK user I thought I'd add that: When I had my HTC Desire (was running Eclair initially) and Froyo was being released, Vf UK was one of the slowest companies to release it. As the newer Froyo offered significant improvements I jumped at the chance to go for a Carrier independent ROM that supported Froyo. Thus freeing myself from Vf release schedule and also removing the Vf bloat ware that I never used. I did suffer a set back when I got the Sensation as initially S-OFF wasn't possible. This situation looks like it'll repeat itself with the release of ICS. PM if you want more info.

I am trying to achieve the best possible stock experience but i don't want to lose the ability to root.
The reason i was asking was the fact that it was stated that, the new h-boot was needed for the new radio to work properly on the leaked ics with sense RUU which suggests that the bootloaders have slightly different functionality.

Ahh you're talking about 11.59..... Sorry I think I got off topic :-((
I've seen a few still using 10.58.........10.15... on ICS with success. I have downloaded an ICS ROM and it seems to work on HBoot 1.17.1111 with my radio. Reflashed back to CM7 though, but I now have the option. I'll reflash ICS again and just confirm it works on 3G and WiFi as usual. I didn't check too far when I first tried. Please bear in mind that these ICS ROMs are based on unreleased versions, so really a taster at the moment.
is the new hboot for ICS unlockable at HtcDev?
also if i flash new firmware for ICS, what device do i choose? tmob or the Sensation EU?
If you're already s-off, why do you want to unlock? You wont get tye ffastboot flash commands working. The only thin it changes is in the hboot screen, instead of *****LOCKED****** (which it really isn't) it shows ******UNLOCKED*****. There is literally no difference. You're still s-off, and you get to keep you warranty.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
thanks, i dont want to lose fastboot, only reason i dont want to update , but all the new ICS roms want to flash new firmware and radio, which it needs new hboot...
If you're going to run a sense based 4.0.3 ics rom, then you MUST flash the frimware. There's no way around it.
But you can get around the fastboot stuff, you can make a .zip that you can flash through hboot (just like you would firmware).
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
yea i know bout that but i want to avoid doing that as well, i dont want to keep use PDIMG im use to fastboot, but i guess if anything i can always go back down to hboot 1.17 and jus stick with what even ICS that doesnt really requirenew F/w
New HBOOT 1.23 make GB 2.3.4, 2.3.5 much faster also .

Hi
Does anybody know where i can find One S (S4) odex stock roms for tmobile. Basically i can't get ota updates and i think my problem is that my current stock rom is deodex.
none of the develops in the One S community wants to make it.. dont know why....
the closest u get is the nandroid in the dev section.. thats what im running now...
Why not run a RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread in development section
I'd like it too actually. I tried flashing stock recovery and relocking my bootloader, but out still said tampered and still couldn't flash an ruu... I'm hoping getting all stock could help with that.
There are no RUU's for tmobile uk sadly, so i need to super cid my phone to get the international version. Also i dont know how to super cid
I found another version of the RUU for TMOUS so I'll try that in the near future and see what happens.
Because the cramp just won't go away!
Does anybody have a stock nandroid for tmobile UK?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
If you read the posts it says there isn't one. Just to verify I looked and I didn't see one either.
Also, after going into fastboot and flashing stock recovery I did
Code:
fastboot OEM lock
My phone rebooted I did it again and flashed the latest RUU for my phone which was TMOUS 1.84 or something like that.
That seemed to work. Now running android 4.0.4.

I'm just curious are you from UK or USA. I supercid my phone yesterday and tried flashing three different ruu's but none of them worked. But then again my bootloader is unlocked so I'm not sure whether locking it will help.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I'm from us, but please don't hate me i didn't decide to be birthed here
I'm assuming your a tmobile UK user due to your post. I'm not really familiar as to what to do with your situation as I've never dealt with UK RUU Issues. I would assume you probably can't use any of the RUUs from anywhere else. You would think T-Mobile would have an international one out. I would probably not risk damaging your device using other carriers unless someone tells you it works. I don't see why trying a tmous RUU would harm you though. There are two versions of it out a 1.54 and 1.84 I believe. I don't know what effect itll have on your phone though so don't blame me if it bricks if you try.
Ive got a huge problem I supercid my phone last night and after that I couldn't call or text anyone as well as recieve. I even unsupercid my phone and back to the original HTC__001 cid. So can anyone give me a solution. Btw I relocked my bootloader and ran the European RUU and it worked
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
Maybe try to run the RUU again? Or a factory reset.

No no this happened due to me trying to super cid. I just did the ruu right now. I think I need to flash a radio but not sure how to
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
That's possible I suppose. Here is how.
After flashing your device properly, start it up and let everything run a few minutes so the ROM can get settled in, I assume you've done that already.
Next you download the radio image you need, I'm not sure which it is I don't know what your running.
Then reboot to fast boot.
Enter
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.IMG
Then reboot your phone with
Code:
fastboot reboot
Or you can do it through a menu on the device.
Then you should have your radio set.
Someone please correct if anything is wrong.

He is saying you CAN'T flash radios, new, old, it doesn't matter. Your hboot does not support it. You are SOL.
I have been flashing for some time but excuse me if I sound stupid but the grey matter just don't work any more. I have RUU'd different RUU's from the 1.82 to 2.20 trying to get different customs to work and I can't figure out what base I am on. At the time I am using Clean Rom 6.1 R2 and things seem to work fine but just wondering. Some how I managed to go from HBOOT 2.14 I think down to HBOOT 1.09 without downgrading. I think I got it from some RUU. I have read that the HBOOT 1.09 is a golden thing on the phone but don't know why.
With this rom I have tried to flash the 3.18 radio and get a soft brick at the boot screen. I am pretty sure the last time I RUU'd I used the Cingular Us 1.82 and in the process it upgraded itself to the 1.83 . Now I have read that some roms with sense work better on the 3.18 RUU.. Will I loose the HBOOT 1.09 if I do this?
At the present
S-OFF
unlocked
CID 11111111
radio 0.24p..32.09.0501.......
I am just looking and trying different variations to find the best setup for my phone. Excuse me for sounding so stupid. The grey matter just is slush any more.
The 3.18 ruu will give you the 2.14 hboot but sense you are s-off which hboot you have is not that important people wanted the 1.09 hboot because you could flash radios and boot.img with it s-off allows you too do this no matter what hboot you have
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Because you're s-off it doesn't matter what hboot you're on. Sense ROMs tend to run smoother/better with the latest update. So feel free to RUU up to 3.18. Don't relocked your bootloader, just ruu.
If you want to run AOSP ROMs after, though, you'll need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware.
Also for some people cm10 doesn't boot until they've upgraded for some odd reason.

I understand that being S-OFF one could do most anything and be safe but I didn't really know if loosing the HBOOT 1.09 had any consequents or not. Plus, didn't know if upgradeing to the 3.18 firmware would be that beneficial or not. At one point I was on the 2.20 and took the OTA ATT udgrade to see what it was about but didn't like the rom ,but I did downgrade the touch screen . There are features with all the customs but don't like any one in particular, wish there some way to combine certain features from each one into one to make one that I liked for my phone. So far the best I can come up with is Clean Rom 6.1R2 with BlueIceSense CR6 and cityID apk. plus the radio from 3.18.
Thanks for understanding loss of grey matter stupidity
