Is it possible?
Choose a Ospl and restore on official mango rom.

You can flash any official ROM just fine. It uses the same RUU program. It can be done if you're already on HSPL, and most will restore OSPL as well as restoring the official ROM.

I have HTC Stock ROM 1.47.110.3 and was wondering can I downlaod the STOCK rom of 1.28 and flash this? I want to debrand my phone thats why I want to flash a offical rom. Thanks
The simple answer is no as you cannot flash the older 1.28 software over the 1.47 on your phone.
However...
If you are willing to S-OFF your phone first - using the Revolutionary method that is posted here on the forums and then you can flash your phone and unbrand it. Also you can make a 'Goldcard' sdcard that will let you flash any ROM you like, as it will bypass the CID check.

It's really work ！！！！
Need help as I'm doing it for the first time
I have Radio 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50 and bootloader 4.3.2250
I want to flash RSPL and then DFT ROM, but as I see I need to downgrade bootloader to something like 1.52
If I flash Radio 5.66.09.09_22.46.50 from Mondrian Cingular 1.52.502.04 file on my device , will it brick it? can I flash 5.66 radio over 5.69? to downgrade bootloader?
or what should I do to get any Custom ROM?
You should actually be able to downgrade SPL 4.x directly (3.1 or lower is needed to install HSPL, which then lets you flash a custom ROM). Have you tried just rolling back to an old restor point (NoDo, perhaps) or flashing just the SPL (you can do this using the RUU) of an old ROM?
I downgraded my SPL from 4.5 to 3.1 by doing this. I'm still using a stock ROM, but until I install an update that overwrites the SPL, I know I *can* install R/HSPL any time I want to.

I restored with zune to NoDo and bootloader is still 4.3
I'm afraid to flash directly as it was said by Cotulla that flashin 4.xx MANGO `SPL-s will brick the phone. so can I just flash a lower radio version that downgrades the SPL, or I need a goldcard method?
With 4.x you should be able to use a radio/SPL image to downgrade. It's still installed using RUU, but you don't need a full ROM. There's even a configuration that won't wipe the phone when you flash it (obviously not useful for a full ROM, but I found it handy when I was trying different methods but didn't want to need to restore a backup to get my data back).
I pulled the download for my phone (radio + SPL pre-loaded in a RUU set up to not wipe the data) from the HD7-specific forum.
Dear Mr. GoodDayToDie
Could you please point us to where we can get the RUU file for the Surround device.
I have the Exact situation as Mr. DJSave Have.
Thanks in advance
Thanks a lot my problems solved her:

Hi. So this is what I have done so far..
1. Unlocked my bootloader using HTCDEV which unlocked my bootloader but kept S-On.
2. Then I flashed my recovery with 4Ext recovery.
3. Installed SU using that. Now I have super user privilages.
In the end, I have unlocked, rooted bootloader with HBOOT 2.00.0002 and S-On. I have taken back up of my current ROM.
From what I understand,
1. My phone is completely rooted.
2. To install a new ROM, I need to go to recovery in booloader and install from SD card.
3. I can revert to my old stock ROM using the back up I took earlier.
Please let me know whether I have got it right till here.
I went through beginner's guides and needed few things to clarify.
1. Will installing new ROM overwrite RUU ?
2. If yes, how do I back up RUU or Rom.zip before I flash with new ROM ?
3. Even though I restore back to my stock ROM. Will my super user privilages remain ?
4. If yes, how to remove them ? How to unroot ?
5. Can I restore to stock's recovery ?
In other words, can I COMPLETELY restore it back excluding unlocking? Please guide me with respect to Desire S.
Installing RUU will comletely restore your phone to stock, removing root as well. So basicly there is no point in backing it up.
Please note that when you unlocked with htcdev.com you will have to flash boot.img separately after installing any custom rom for the phone to boot.
Anyway, there are so many guides on this forum that unswers all your questions, don't see a point to start the new one here.

Thank you. And sorry for the new thread. I went through the guides. Just needed to confirm. These RUUs, are they fixed for a particular model and country? For example, this link provides some RUUs for Desire S for different countries. So RUUs for all the Desire S phones in that region are same, officially ?
Aah, this thread solved the problem that I've been thinking!
When I am going to sell my DS, only need to install correct RUU and it is fully stock again?

You may restore my stock odex NANDROID backup in development section or flash zipaligned deodexed firmware by torxx! Else changing CID to HTC__Y13 shall work for OTA update. PLEASE refrain from making new threads, there are multiple threads about OTA 2.31 update and solutions better check and search!
tanx dude for guide...but have questions
1-if i relock bootloader & install stock recovery or flash 2.21 ruu again is there any chane to give ota?or must change cid?
2-if i install your backup nanadroid or zipaligned firmware..is there no problem to give future ota updates?

1. You should change the CID, as the OTA update was intended for EUR region ONLY. Else you may stick with your original CID keep a backup and restore when a WWE OTA update releases. Since this was asmall update, a proper RUU shall eventually be released with the major JB (4.1) update expected next month.
2- With my nandroid backup (since its odexed and stock, and as long as your bootloader is locked and recovery stock(after restoring the backup ofcourse)) you can receive the future OTA. WAIT.... yes a RUU for 2.31 is leaked and being uploaded in stock RUU thread, development section!
Why don't you just flash the new 2.31 RUU from dl2.0m[dot]de/ONE_S/RUUs/RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe

Yes it will work...but there is a process to it.
I used the Zune restore point/backup to downgrade my SPL from 5.10.
Basically if you use the restore point and go back to NoDo your SPL will still be 5.12, since Zune doesn't change your SPL. What changes the SPL is update process.
What you have to do is, restore your device and then start the update process through Zune again. Update the device all the way through 7392,7403 and next comes Mango and that's when the SPL is changed from 5.xxx to 4.xxx. This is the key part thought, The phone will reboot twice, once to change the SPL and once to actually install Mango once the phone reboots the 2nd time YOU HAVE TO STOP THE UPDATE PROCESS before the final HTC firware update is applied otherwise your SPL will be changed back to 5.xxx.
Now you can flash a stock/shipped rom via bootloader mode and lower your SPL to at or below 3.xxx, install RSPL/HSPL and the flash a custom rom. The whole process will take about 45 mins to an hour.
There's a tutorial here too if you need it -

Οr you can downgrade via Goldcard and USB Y cable method to anything you want !!!
