About one month ago, i did some stupid things and then my device has been s-on. Thank god, i can still flash gingerbread roms after i unlocked the bootloader by htcdev.
Hboot of my device is 1.23, system version or firmware is 3.12. many ics roms require that the firmware upgrade to 3.24. Considering that the deivce is s-on now, PG58img.zip files seems to be useless to my phone. Is there any other way to update the phone's firmware? Will revolutionary support hboot 1.23 in the future?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Please read both the thread very carefully before performing any operation . Two different method has been suggested. You must read both . Then try.
Will I get the official OTA update if I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev method? Actually, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev on my sensation which is still in Android 2.3.4. (At that point I didn't know that doing that would not allow supercid and all that stuff.)
If I will get the update.. I just wanted to know after the official OTA update from HTC, will it be a like a new phone? (yeah, i know it will be factory reset.. but i wanted to know if my bootloader, rooting and etc. Will that remain?)
I want the all the rooting and unlocked bootloader not to stay so that i can start afresh with Revolutionary and flash one of the Sense 4 ROMs.. Please help!!
Thank you!

Yes you will receive OTA and bootloader will remain **unlocked**. All you need to receive OTA is stock rom, stock recovery and original cid (S-OFF or S-ON doesn't matter).
By the way if you are still on android 2.3.4 most probably your Hboot is 1.18 that means you can S-Off using Revolutionary and then supercid, root etc.. (you can revert easily to original cid and stock recovery anytime).
If you upgrade to ICS 4.0 with Hboot 1.27 you won't be able to S-OFF and supercid unless someone will find a solution. Actually Hboot 1.27 is not supported by Revolutionary.
Ota to ICS 4.0 will not factory reset your phone. Your data and apps will be untouched.
Honestly I don't understand if you are rooted or not. Unlocking bootloader by HtcDev doesn't mean you are rooted. Could you please clarify?
Hope it helps.
Hi.
I'm looking for the latest RUU ROM (WWE or Europe) for our Desire S. I want to completely remove anything from phone and back to the factory state (after that official unlock and root).
Which version is the latest one?
Greetings.

The latest is ICS RUU 14.01.401.2
But the better way (that will keep your warranty, that is void by htcdev.com) will be:
S-OFF (downgrade without using htcdev if your current bootloader is 2.x or go straight to revolutionary.io if it is 0.98.x)
Change the bootloader to 7.xx and flash 4EXT recovery touch
Flash the ICS RUU (keeping your hboot and recovery) and root it
For each step there is a dedicated Guide that you can find in the Index thread
Good luck :good:
How to change bootloader to 7.xx (as you wrote) or ENG bootloader (as in index topic)?
Does flashing via official RUU ICS file will keep my S-OFF and 7.xx/eng bootloader?
Is the 7.xx bootloader same as ENG bootloader? Which one is better and why?
hey guys. one problem.. i want to go back to stock ROM. i am supercid and s-off so i understood that i can use any RUU, but i downloaded one and failed because it says get the correct ROM update utility. i locked the bootloader too.
i have maximus hd atm , so which RUU should i use?
Hboot 2.16
Radio 1.20
supercid
s-off
Did you run the ruu while your phone was in fastboot mode? Otherwise the downgrade won't work.
Edit: As you already said, it doesn't matter which ruu you take since your phone is S-OFF. If you try to run an ICS ruu be sure not to install OTAs if you're on superCID or you're going to brick your phone.
My Phone is HTC Butterfly X920D still Factory default and stock running latest ota update... current firmware 3.15.707.4 hboot 1.55 ........ i want to downgrade to sense 4,,, now if i success unlock bootloader via htcdev can i flash previous ruu with pc or bootloader without s-off ? Thanks and sorry for my bad english
