[Q] How to deal with "hboot version is older" - HTC Sensation

Need help!!
Has some one met this before? I was trying to downgrade the hboot version and met the error appeared "hboot version is older". My phone is s-on. now the hboot version is 1.27.0000.
My phone was s-off before, one day I upgrade the firmware to 1.27, in order to flash the ICS 4.0.3, after that, I've try to lock back the phone, the command is " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and then s-off was changed to s-on, and the hboot version freezed at 1.27.
But now I am trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.18 or older version, but it couldn't crossed the hboot checking.
My phone is HTC_044, I am using Asia WWE RUU to downgrade.
can some one let me kown is there any good way to s-off again?
Appreciated if you can help me resolve this.

You won't be able to change firmware with s-on.
Have a look at this thread for guidelines to return to s-off.

[Q] hboot 1.23 & s-on problem

Hi,
I have sensation with hboot 1.23 s-on, unlocked with official htcdev and custom rom installed.
I can't flash any RUU, even it's original orange UK RUU, I can't s-off with revolutionary because max hboot version is 1.18 and can't unlock network!!
any ideas?
pls help...
Flash previous Firmware, see if work .
Same problem here but I am stuck on 1.20. No firmware can be flashed, neither through RUU or PG58IMG.zip. RUU flashing ends with message security failed, update failed. PG58IMG.zip simply returns to menu after parsing. Fastboot returns with "remote, not allowed".
Please help !

When I tried an ICS rom, I flashed the 1.20 hboot and firmware. All I had to do to get rid of 1.20 hboot was flash the PG58IMG.zip of the eng hboot.

If you are s-on you can't flash anything. You have to wait until revolutionary updates to 1.23

How did you guys end up with S-On?
Were you S-On before flashing hboot 1.23 or you just flashed an old official RUU over 1.23?

Revolutionary won't S-off for 1.23 in near future...:-/
Pure stupidity for me. I usually pay more attention to what's going on. When I flashed firmware that contained HBOOT 1.20 it did flash 1.20 but got stuck in bootloader mode and did not update radio.
I followed with attempt to downgrade to 1.17 and restore S-On so I could repeat revolutionary. When it simply returned to the menu w/o any error (but in fact stayed on 1.20) I did writesecureflag 3.
So the best I did was unlock bootloader through HTCDEV. I am still however stuck at 1.20, old radio and while I can flash roms, I cannot flash radio or hboot or RUU. normally I would just wait it out but wi-fi does not work in new roms for me, prob because of old radio.
I have the same problem, and there are many people have the same problem. Hope revolutionary would support hboot 1.23. But previous revolutionary s-off the bootloader when phone is on.

Well what's done is done... Wait for ICS official RUU... Probably it will flash...

For wifi issue, i suggest you reset the router...I have doubts that will solve your issue..

Seems to be the only solution at this point. Based on revolutions history, how long would you say that might be?

HBOOT 1.23.000 S-ON / unlock or relock ( secureflag 3) without firmware
now i have HyperSensation_v1.8_R

Does anyone know how to upgrade or downgrade hboot?
This guide will help

Use adb as alternative to pg58img to flash recovery as per the guide.
Flashing the boot.img part of the ruu then gives you downgraded bootloader enabling you to s-off.

Nobody knows... Maybe you could pay a visit on the revolutionary irc channel #revolutionary on server irc.freenode.net and ask them

I was in the same situation, used the Juopunutbear S-OFF method and it worked. Don't forget to thank the developer.

How to upgrade to ics with hboot 1.23 s-on?

Two month ago, i did some stupid things and then hboot turned into s-on. Because hboot version is 1.23 which is not supported by revolutionary, i can't upgrade, degrade or s-off the bootloader.So i can't flash any ics rom. I tried to flash ruu. No matter what version of ruu is, it always shows error 155 or else(i tried to relock the bootloader, other error uccured). Now official ics has been released, will latest ics ruu help? my device is asia sea wwe.

As long as you are S-ON you cant downgrade HBOOT any way...not even by running a RUU
as you are 1.27 HBOOT....you can try JB SOFF noob proof guide here
then once you obtain SOFF you can run any RUU
Also for running RUU ...your cid should match the RUU's otherwise RUU will fail
if you are superCID and SON then any ICS RUU runs
or
if you are superCID and SOFF then ANY RUU will run for you
use JB soff and then you can downgrade you hboot by flashing 1.18 firmware

[Q] RUU Based on Hboot 2.15 ??

Hi there, I want to go back to my factory ROM by RUU, but all of them fails by error of 155. I think it´s because of my Hboot in version 2.15 (I´ve no idea how did it came to my phone, maybe because of some of the custom Roms I had). So do you have any idea what to do with that ? I expect that without S-Off I cannot downgrade Hboot. So is there some RUU based on this ? And how can I recognize it ? Thank you
(I have changed CID to HTC__001)
Edit: I found some version for S3 Ville .. but I have S4, which I can´t find. Any ideas ?
I'm looking for a compatabile RUU as well for my Hboot 2.15. My CID is GLOBA__001
Any Help would be appreciated.
i think S-Off can also let you run an RUU no problem... (ie without CID change)
But remember you have to flash stock recovery and then relock bootloader before attempting to run RUU (with S ON), and make sure you have the correct CID too before relocking, etc.
You should be able to run an RUU with the same level of bootloader, just not one with a lower version, with S ON.
So the euro jellybean version that has been posted on the One S forums should be an appropriate RUU.

[Q] How to choose RUU?

Hi guys!
I have some problem with HTC Sensation. It boots only till HTC logo. And nothing more! On this device isn't OS.
Some guys said that I need to install RUU exe file through computer. I did it but received error 130 (need other version of RUU, I think).
So can you recommend something?
S-ON, hboot 1.18.000, radio 10.14.9035.02_02
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "On this device isn't OS".Do you mean you haven't install some custom OS on your device or it has no OS at all.If you have erase the OS the bootloop is something natural.
I did a google search for your radio version and according to this I found answers only on some german forums.So your cid (as long as you are s-on) should be possibly a German or a European one.
You can download the latest Europe version from here and give it a try.
You can find your cid number using fastboot.Just get into fastboot mode of your hboot and give the command fastboot getvar cid.
If your bootloader is HTCDEV unlocked give the commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that your hboot should say Relocked instead of Unlocked.Then install the RUU.
You could also give it S-OFF using this guide (Does not require HTCDEV unlock method):
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)
If you are S-ON you can use a RUU only with hboot 1.18 in your case
Read this topic to know all about RUU

Why exactly he should use an RUU with hboot 1.18?!
I know that the version of hboot can be upgraded normally but cannot be downgraded as long as you are S-ON.If you are S-OFF you can downgrade everything.Also if you want to install an older RUU and you are S-ON you have to use a gold card and you patch the version of the misc partition to an equal or lower one for the RUU you are going to use.
