Hi,
I'm not sure about Virtuous,but if upgrade to ARHD ICS,you should be OK to return to 3.x.x without any change.
I'm wondering the same thing. I assume we can since we have S-Off and SuperCID. If we wanted to go back to GB based roms, we could flash ENG hboot from from bootloader. And also downgrade radio to a more GB friendly version. Again, I assume. I'd like someone to confirm before I take the plunge.

Hi,
Everyone that has just flashed GB over ICS has had no problem.
No need to downgrade.
You may need to install a compatible RIL,but that's about it.

hey there,
bought my gf a desire s to christmas. i, as a sensation user at the moment am very comfortable with development. flashing, adb, fastboot and things like that are working flawless.
as i don't have so much time to read atm, i have some questions concerning the way to set the desire s up. it was shipped with 1.47 rom, t-mobile branded, sense 2.1, android 2.3.1 and hboot 0.98.0002
i want to flash this rom: endymion sense v3.1 (android 2.3.5, sense 3.5)
i already achieved s-off with revolutionary, hboot is now 6.98.1002 with radio 3805.06.02.03_M. 4ext recovery 2.2.7RC5 is installed as well.
now i saw, that there is RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe availble. i also read in the forum, that this ota brings some parts for firmware, which are not flashed with a custom rom.
so would you recommend to flash this ruu first? wouldn't i lose s-off then? would i be abled to achieve s-off again after flashing this? also, for my sensation i would have to supercid first - i didn't read about this here in the forums.
what i would want to do:
1. flash RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
2. run revolutionary again
3. flash custom recovery
4. flash endymion v3.1
would it be possible this way? or would you recommend any other way to me? i want to have all firmware parts as up to date as possible before i flash the custom rom.

Cause you are already s-off I would say it's senseless to use the ruu first, because it would put you back to s-on like you suggested, but only if the revolutionary bootloader doesn't make problems.
There are many reports of problems with it and I would say you should replace it with the 2.00.2002 engineer bootloader.
before just flash a custom recovery (I would recommend 4ext touch) and if your done with the bootloader flash the ROM of your choice.
To get bootloader, recovery,... just look at the index thread at the development section, it's all in there.
The last step to achieve a full upgraded phone would be to update the radio to the latest version, this you will also find at the index thread.
Happy modding
Oh and welcome, sry^^

is there a guide you are referring to? i already got 4ext recovery installed, but i don't find any post concerning 2.00.2002 bootloader. if i flash this one i would stay s-off? and it would bring me all parts which i would be missing without 2.10.401.8 RUU?
/edit:
now i found this one, you are referring to that?

i guess you are referring to this? 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 with my sensation i would also have to flash a matching ril, isn't it recommended with desire s?

Yes this guide is to "downgrade" (in fact it's an upgrade, even if the version number is lower).
Yes you would stay s-off.
No it not brings you all what is missing, just a part of it, the rest you get with flashing the radio and the rom.

It's not really needed, you can do it if it's in the zip (or better said if it's there it's done at the flashing procedure), but you're also good to go without it.
So my problem is that any rom i flash with Sense 3.5 will not boot, but will keep rebooting and rebooting. I am new to sensation but i did google this issue without solutions. My sensation is unlocked, from htc dev. S-ON, rooted, hboot is 1.8. I wanted to s-off, but revolutionary failed to get root. I don't know why. Currently i am able to flash roms with sense 3.0.
I will appreciate any help. I do full wipe before flashing. Please advice.

If you are trying to install the Sense 3.5-3.6 ICS versions you need Hbot 1.23 or 1.27 to boot.

Thanks, they are not ics versions. How do i update to hboot 1.23? by updating firmware i suppose. i will much appreciate if someone can point me to the right firmware. I don't want ics, i only want to have GB with Sense 3.5 and i read that once i update to hboot 1.27 then i should forget GM roms. So, do i really need to have hboot 1.23 or 1.27 to flash GB roms with Sense 3.5? Thanks
No you don't need those hboots but if you want to flash ics then yes you do
So how can i avoid the bootloop whenever i flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5? i am able to flash and boot GB roms with Sense 3.0. i have unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.18. any other requirement needed to flash a GB rom with Sense 3.5?
Run revolutionary again usually gotta run it if it fails to gain root

i did try many times, apart from that revolutionary will only give me s-off and recovery, my understanding is that to flash any custom rom i need to be rooted and have recovery but my phone is rooted and recovery is installed, i even have the bootloader unlocked. please correct me if i am mistaken.
You actually need s -off of you plan flashing ics roms and want to be able to downgrade hboot if you ever want to go back your hboot is unlocked but your security flag is still on and that's the most important thing

OK, i wrote s-on wrong while on hboot 1.23 and it locked so i used htc dev and now i can use GB roms with ease but i really want to go back to ics. My hboot is 1.23 so i should be able to use 3.12 firmware roms??? I flashed the boot.img file of each of the ics roms i tried and they all go stuck on bootloop and know i don't know why, all of the roms i tried are on firmware 3.12, darkforest, oceicsv111,virtuous inquisition 2.0.0 and arhd 6.0.3. Does anybody know a solution?
are you supercided? have you flashed the right fw?

I am stuck in the same situation as you, S-on, hboot 1.23, firmware 3.12, unlocked with htc dev and supercided. I'd tried some ICS roms without luck. Tried, too, a bunch of methods to revert back to an hboot that could be used with Revolutionary, but nothing worked.
So I'm using a gingerbread rom (Elegancia) while I wait for another method to try, or for Revolutionary to be updated to hboot 1.23.
Currently running s-off, rooted, on a GB rom. I'm looking to get as close to stock as I can, I don't mind if the phone stays s-off, I just want the stock ICS firmware and rom.
I should be able to flash the RUU of the ICS OTA and get the complete rom, firmware and everything, right? I know I will lose root, but that doesn't bother me right now.
Can anyone link me to the OTA ICS RUU if that is the route to go?

ARHD is the closest to stock. Try that.
There is a post with ruu for Ics stock rom. Just look for it carefully in the development.

I've just recently done S-OFF and installed 4EXT recovery plus the latest ARHD ROM.
However I'd like to revert back to a Gingerbread ROM. Preferably a custom one.
Just wondering if 4EXT is capable of flashing any ROM or is it only compatible with the newer ROMS like ICS etc?
Could somebody also recommend a good Gingerbread ROM if possible?
Thanks.

Using Jelly Bean here so no knowledge on the latest GB ROMs.
The issue is to get compatible Firmware for the chosen ROM.
I'm a CWM user but understand that EXT4 can do all that's needed.
So What is your Radio/HBOOT version ??

Hi,
4EXT should be fine to install GB ROMS.
You will firstly need to downgrade your firmware.
1.17 is HERE
ARHD GB 3.6.13 is HERE

It's not working. As soon as I enter the bootloader with these two files on my SD card I get the
error message "Incorrect ID - Update Failed" before I even attempt to do anything. It won't even let me enter the recovery unless I remove them.
I'm on Juopunutbear 1.27 currently. Do I have to downgrade the bootloader as well? And if so how? I'm a bit stuck.
