[SOLVED] which ruu do i need for s-on

hey folks. i hope some1 can point me in the correct direction.
(yea 1st post _yay_ lame indeed to start with a question at all, but im following xda for quite a while.. :-| )
i want to send in my phone to warranty because i got the dust under screen problem.
i have a vodafone DE branded sensation with software version 1.35.162.1...
now, according to the guide [Guide] to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof) i want to follow the steps to gain s-on again and removin CWM.
my problem is i cant find any RUU higher than/or equal to x.35.xxx.x since downgrading doesnt work and i only have this RUU RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.27.162.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191975_signed.
i am on stock rom now, unrooted. i came from CM7 a10.
question is which ruu can i take now and could i use a htc europe ruu by changing the cid?
thanks in advance

ok didnt look for any search terms related to the word "downgrade"...
i found a link for Eng-Hboot where i can downgrade to HBOOT Version 1.17.2008
after that i shud be able to flash lower ruu versions...

My answer maybe is a litte OT but...
Do You think they will be check which exactly ROM you should have? Also read for terms of warranty, there is nothing about loosing warranty after changing software

*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
SoftwareVersion 1.45.162.2
seems like i solved it on my own!
thread can be closed, deleted, whatsoever... sry for spam

Downgrade from ICS back to Gingerbread (SensationXE )

Hello,
Upgraded to the ICS Ruu Beta. Happy with ICS even with it being a beta its really good. I'm very unhappy with the battery life though. I can take my phone off charge at 9am , By 2pm my phone is already saying that its going flat and needs charged. By half 3 my phone is flat :'(. The power was never the best but at least I got most of a day from it.
I would love to go to the Orange Ruu . ( As it has the wifi calling option that I really really want!!) . But the one that I downloaded keeps saying that the model ID is incorrect. In the past the unbranded HTC rom was fine. Now after going to ICS I want to go back to gingerbread but I keep getting the same model ID not recognized.
I would love if someone could help me get my Sensation XE running the Orange Branded Rom . ( I don't mind if it had to be a Sensation Rom unclocking my processor ( Giving a better battery life ))

I think the problem is that you have SuperCID so the RUU cannot recognize your device as Orange branded. What you need to do is find the Orange CID and change it back to it via the same method you used to SuperCID.

Why? If there is an Orange RUU then just flash it as Super CID will allow it. If you're getting the Model ID error that's because you've NOT got Super CID as you can't flash a non-XE RUU on an XE model without it

Thanks for your replys,
Whats supercid? My phone was a Phones 4 u de branded HTC sensation XE. Does that mean anything or have I just not understood ?

Just had a google to see what it was . I seen a post [First result on google after searching super cid] about it. I have downloaded the file but don't know how to do the commands it says :O. Would getting this working work with the Orange rom? In the past I have had Other roms working via clockwork and had it rooted but dont have any of them options since flashing with ICS Ruu
Edit 2 - **LOCKED** , Pyramid PVT ship S-off RL. Hboot 1.20

Locked Hboot with S-On?

Hi, ive just got a phone off ebay and trying to s-off it.
Problem is that when i go into the hboot it says:
**LOCKED**
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Revolutionary tool says invaild key when i run it.
Any ideas how i can get S-OFF? Maybe the guy who had it before me has made it S-ON again to sell it? Any help would be much appreciated!

I just S-offed last week, and i am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff...i also was getting the invalid key. I did a SEARCH (lol) here and found out that the letters i was typing were wrong.
My solution: copy and paste the revolutionary beta key into notepad, then type the keys in notepad to confirm you are typing the correct letters
I found out that the "I" is actually a lower case "L"

Which hboot version? Anything over 1.18.0000 isn't supported
Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio using xda premium

I read that this could be the after-math of someone unlocking through htc dev and not doing it correctly. So I have to back track to go forward.
It's not got ICS yet, still running GB. There is a system update waiting but I want to root first before any update.
Hboot 1.18.000
I did try the copy and paste. The one major issue here is that on the hboot screen it says **LOCKED** at the top shortly followed by S-ON which tells me that somethings very different.

1.18 has a "locked" status on top. That's normal. Revolutionary is compatible with 1.18, but it's possible that it was rooted with htcdev...
There is no "unlocked" 1.18 hboot. That's why rev will downgrade you to 1.17.
I'm running 1.18 with s-off by use of revolutionary and then reflashing the 1.18 hboot I extracted from 1.50.531.1ruu. It shows "locked" at the top as it did to begin with...
Maybe try flashing the ruu and trying revolutionary again...

Unlock bootloader, S-Off and rooting are 3 different things.
HtcDev unlock bootloader but it doesn't neither s-off nor root the device.
To prevent "headhaches" is better follow these steps:
1) Unlock bootloader through HtcDev (then it will show **unlocked** on top but still S-On with 1.18 Hboot)
2) S-Off by revolutionary (don't remember if it downgrade Hboot to 1.17 but I think it does).
3) Install a custom recovery.
4) Root the device
Hope it helps.

COMPLETELY ignore the advice to unlocking on HTCDev - you're letting HTC know you're rooting your phone. ONLY use Revolutionary to get true S-OFF
To the OP: HBOOT 1.18.0000 WILL say Locked at the top. This is 100% normal and HTC brought it in with the 1.18.0000 HBOOT. S-ON is also normal so what you're looking at is designed that way and is how my phone arrived when I first got it

I think you should try get the beta key back or make sure paste it to get correct keys. I think the ***Locked*** won't be problem. Revolutionary will unlocked it. If you got error during root process you may want try Taco Root method during Revolutionary process.

Thanks for your help guys!
It was a very stupid mistake on my part not copying the key from revolutionary over correctly. I was entering O's instead of 0's (zeros). Notepad was the saving grace after 3 hours of reading that showed me the correct key and stopped me from trying other methods and maybe screwing up the process.
I'd never seen a **Locked** with S-ON hboot screen before and not knowing what a person has done before you on a phone when buying off ebay can lead you into unknown territory.
S-Offed and running some Sense 4 now. Beautiful! The wife is pleased! Wouldn't mind some Sense 4 on my Gnex now - Never thought i'd say that!
Thanks all for your help!

I'm selling my Nexus to get the One X...not long now

Return to stock

Hey Guys
I have a telstra HTC one xl which is SOFF, unlocked bootloader and 2.15 firmware. I am currently running KickDroid XL v4.10 and am looking to sell my phone. I don't really want to sell a rooted phone so I would like to take it back to a stock Telstra rom. I have posted a pic of my bootloader details. I hope it attached as this is the first I have posted here because I normally work things out by reading lots of threads before I do anything to my phone. Please correct me if I am wrong but this is the way I think I should do it.
Change the CID back to Telstra and run this RUU - RUU_Evita_UL_Telstra_WWE_1.89.841.9_Radio_0.18c.32.09.01_10.93a.32.20L_release_266699_signed.exe.
The things I really don't know about are, if I did this, can I get the updates to get to 4.2. and can I RUU that old version without any problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
.
Looks like my pic didn't work.
First 4 lines of my bootloader
***UNLOCKED***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT-2.15.0000
RADIO-1.3a.32.45.16.2

You should follow these steps:
1. Run the RUU.
2. Change CID back to TELST001.
3. Relock the bootloader.
4. Change the phone back to s-on.
At this point you should be able to take updates to get back up to 4.2.2 again and sell the phone.

Soft Bricked HTC One S (S3) on Hboot 2.09.0001 - S-On (VilleC2 PVT SHIP)

Hello,
First time poster so please be gentle. (I am somewhat noobish when it comes to remembering terms and whatnot)
I've gotten myself into quiet a pickle here. I ran a successful RUU on my handset (ofc with SuperCID as well as S-off, unlocked bootloader and root) and had the time of my life. I was back to stock! A day later I wanted to update you see but got the "variant system detected" problem. Considering that I was still S-off and SuperCID'd I instead decided to change my CID (yes, that wasnt very smart) instead of just going S-on and then updating (I'm also not too familiar with OTA so yeah....). I had 2 RUU's on my desktop (the current one i used was for ICS a.k.a 4.0.4 Asia WWE Telkomsel whereas the other one i was planning to use was Vodafone UK JB), Me being the idiot I was clicked on the Vodafone one, searched up the CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001) and rewrote the CID.
I then proceeded to S-On so i could get OTA updates working finally and again being the idiot I am ran the Vodafone RUU.
This cleared all my data and wiped the OS clear off my phone.
So now im stuck with:
VilleC2 PVT Ship S-On
Hboot -2.09.0001
Radio-16.05.20.16_M2
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
as well as a CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001)
And here I am now. (sorry about the storytelling)
I have tried 2 roms so far which are:
- mcOneS3_1_0_0_DeODEX (yes i know, my Hboot wasn't right. Tried it anyways)
- BackToBasics_V3
Neither worked and I've been searching the web for more roms as well as an RUU that can match all my details (which is very unlikely).
I've also been trying to search for [ROM][DISCONTINUED][S3][18 FEB] TrickDroid 6.0.0 and was wondering if anyone had a copy lying around that they could provide since Trickdroid for the S3 has been discontinued:crying:. If someone could provide me that, I would be extremely grateful. Also any advice is great too.
Thanks~
