DO NOT FLASH A NEW RUU OR OFFICIAL ROM IMAGE UNLESS YOU *REALLY* KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING !
The title says it all!

As the title suggests, this is warning against flashing the new RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_ 26.04.02.17_M2_release. It contains a new version of HBoot that breaks root and standard S-OFF! Please refer to these threads for more info:

You may be safe if you have full radio S-OFF and SuperCID but this is unconfirmed, and I would steer well clear until the DEVs have cracked open this latest HBoot.

Confirmed:
Only if you have full radio S-OFF you can 'downgrade' to 1.32xxxxxx and root
Yes, I can confirm that, too. You have to have Super-CID (Radio S-OFF) to downgrade. Rooting is not possible in this new one. Yet.
Can please someone explain me what's the real difference between ENG S OFF But CID 11111 and SHIP S OFF and CID HTC....?
ENG S-OFF: It is engineering bootloader S-OFF (may include Radio S-OFF). Allows custom bootloader commands, for example radio flashing, also allows to install custom roms.
SHIP S-OFF: Radio S-OFF, does not allow radio flashing, but allows ClockworkMod flashing. Usually comes together with SuperCID.
CID 11111111: Super-CID, Super Carrier ID, allows you to downgrade, and flash really anything to the phone without the phone saying "no thanks".
CID HTC__xxx: HTC Carrier ID, does not allow downgrading via RUU, but you can still flash through ClockworkMod if you are S-OFF.
Thank you very much for this answer..I ask because i cannot find this information somewhere in one post!
I am with ENG S-OFF and CID 11111111
So i can flash the new RUU and i am able to revert back to 1.32xxxxxx and root again.Correct?
Looks like its been rooted.

At least it has if you flash just the system.img
Yeah but it needs clockworkmod, which goes away if people use the actual RUU. Also flashing system.img does not replace the bootloader, so S-OFF stays in fine (also hboot S-OFF).
How can you tell what your CID is?

Bootloader > Fastboot > System Info (or something like that)
If you are SuperCID then it is 11111111 if not, then it begins with HTC_xxxx
looks like also this RUU_Ace_Orange_ES_1.75.75.2_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_2 6.04.02.17_M2_release also seems to stop you gaining root and fix's patched Hboot as someone saying he flashed the rom and can't gain root.

can you tell how to extract the system.img from rom?

[HOW TO SAFELY FLASH THE NEW ROM AND BE ABLE TO REVERT BACK]
Currently, the new ROM (1.72.405.3) has a new HBOOT (so you can't install ENG HBOOT S-OFF) and is difficult to root (not as simple as it is with previous ROMs). However, it also has a better radio, and a faster ROM with various bugfixes. This ROM is also Android Froyo v2.21. If you want to try out the new ROM, whilst maintaining the ability to 'revert' back to your older, hackable state then follow the below instructions carefully. Also, do not worry about extracting system.img files and whatnot.
*It is recommended to do a NANDROID BACKUP first
*All RUUs can be obtained from www.xdafil.es/DesireHD/RUU/
*If you don't do steps 1-3 properly and flash the new ROM, you will not be able to revert back
*Radio S-OFF and SuperCID can be obtained by following instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
*Tutorial for flashing RUUs (needed for steps 4 & 8): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
1. Install Radio S-OFF (NOT ENG HBOOT S-OFF) and SuperCID
2. Go to bootloader, then System Info. (If System Info is not there, but you have SHIP S-OFF skip step 3 and proceed to step 4)
3. Make sure CID is 11111111 *AND* the bootloader shows S-OFF. If not, repeat step 1
4. You can now flash the new ROM (1.72.405.3)
5. This will remove ENG HBOOT (if you had it) and ClockworkMod
6. If you did steps 1-3 correctly, your Desire HD should still be S-OFF. Go to bootloader and check. If not, you did not do steps 1-3 correctly and will have to wait for the new HBOOT to be cracked.
When you are done with the new ROM and want to go back, follow the instructions below:
7. Download the HTC RUU 1.32.405.6 of your choice (Since you are SuperCID you can flash any RUU)
8. Flash it to your Desire HD
9. Root your ROM using Visionary, and install ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod. You can optionally install ENG HBOOT S-OFF now if you like.
If you made a NANDROID Backup, you can restore this now from ClockworkMod

I have this working. The supplied .zip file does not include Superuser.apk. After following the instructions and then installing Superuser from the market I now have root on this rom.
Look forward to testing it over the next couple of days while I lay in hope of some custom roms based off this version.
EDIT: Superuser keeps force closing
My bootloader says
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85 2007 (PD9810000)
and system info says
CID-11111111
Am I good to go or shall I do something else?
Thank you for sharing info.
doh!
being used to the days of winmo I flashed this rom over my cyanogen taking a backup first.
Now I can't revert back to the old stock rom, any way of doing this (easily ish)?
Hi, I'm ENG S-Off but my CID is not 1111111, what's the safest way to do the Super-CID?

looks like you are, you have superCID.
So. I have Sensation phone. When i've started it has a android 2.3 and i've got s-off and root by guide. Some days ago i've flash ICS from OTA zip and then unlock it at htcdev.com Now i have: unlocked, pyramid pvt ship s-off, and hboot 1.27.0000. So the problems are: i can't flash recovery, i can't root a phone and can't make backup. When i've started to flash su through stock recovery i got a error like "failed to verify whole file signature" or so. And with recovery flashing i've got the same. I've tried to make revolutionary s-off but there is no 1.27.0000 hboot version at list to get beta key.
So? How can i root my phone?
p.s. i've tried root it by supertool but nothing
If your full s-off, flash the 1.17 firmware found in the dev section, then flash the RUU for your carrier/region.
You should be back to stock, run revolutionary, s-off and root will be regained and then just be careful what you do from now on.

RUU -> revolutionary s-off, root, cwm or 4ext -> ICS OTA
right?
Just get a PG58IMG zip with cwm in it and flash via hboot. Then you can flash a new ROM or the su zip
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The same story with cwm. When i tried to flash PG58IMG.zip with cwm by hboot i've got nothing (parsing PG58IMG.zip... and flashback to boot). Flashing PG58IMG.zip by stock recovery (flash zip from external storage) give nothing. Just error "failed to verify file signature".
Whatever you do... Don't flash ICS OTA.... Or you'll be stuck.... You'll have to wait for revolutionary to update to have those new hboot be s-off...

try the rooting tools from this thread
i have desire s which has
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
i unlocked the bootcode at htcdev and installed clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 and then installed cyonogen as my chosen rom.
I am having problems with really rubbish signal and was looking to downgrade my radio to a different version. I understand to do this I have to downgrade the HBOOT to a version which I can do true s-off.
as the phone is already rooted and has a custom recovery, do i just need to change the version on the phone using misc_version tool and then reflash using an RUU of my choice ?
forgive me if im being slighty stupid.

I have the same issue and have read the guides referred to in the following posts but I still have a question. I have read somewhere that you cannot HTCdev relock if you are on a custom Rom. Is this correct? If so I have a bigger problem as my backup of my original Rom will not restore possibly due to a lib partition issue.
Thanks in advance
You need to relock and flash RUU to boot the phone properly.
I make a unlook with htc dev. Then i flash The recovery and Make a nandroid Backup. After this i flash the customs. An all thinks u running.i have Nov Problems. All time. Tmo desire s

I had the same thing, I wanted to re-lock my Bootloader, downgrade it, S-OFF and upgrade to the re-engineered so that I would flash the latest radio.
I managed to get it done so I'm sharing it with you, so that you can do it too if you want.
The steps that I took are the following (I had a branded DS so I'm adding the Goldcard info too):
#0 took a full NAND backup of my currently running custom rom (FlashOne) and copied everything from the SD Card to my PC (I used it as a goldcard).
#1 Made a goldcard since I have a branded DS and afterwards put from the RUU the rom.zip file (renamed to PG88IMG.zip) in the sdcard root directory.
#2 from this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
went directly to step 6 and changed the misc_version.
#3 reboot in bootloader (having the Goldcard in) and let the ROM file install itself. Or if you're unbranded then you don't need neither the Goldcard, nor to reboot in bootloader, simply flash the RUU with the old Hboot/Radio (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506). I used: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe to get the rom.zip file.
#4 boot your "new" 2.3.3 android, remove the ROM file from the SD Card and proceed with revolutionary: http://revolutionary.io/
#5 I didn't want to flash CWM so I manually flashed from fastboot, 4EXT.
#6 did a full wipe of everything and copied the radio firmware on the SD card, rebooted in bootloader and flashed it
#7 used my sister's Wildfire S ( ) to access the SD card and remove the radio file and copied the new re-engineered Hboot. Rebooted in bootloader and flashed the new HBoot.
#8 that wildfire S saved me again, used it to remove the Hboot file from the SD card
#9 booted in 4ext recovery, accessed my sd card from there, formated it and copied in the SD Card the backed up contents from step #0.
#10 once done, I simply did a full wipe (again) and restored the FlashOne 2.0.4 backup that I had taken earlier.
And It's up and running!!!
Ok here are the steps I followed and gained s-off
I am assuming you are on 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 Hboot 2.0...
- Go to htc dev and unlock your bootloader
- Flash recovery (4EXT recommended)
- Flash any rom which is rooted ( I flashed Europe Stock pre rooted)
- This time you will have to flash boot.img from fastboot
- Follow steps here to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1604255
- Run revolutionary and gain s-off your bootloader will be 6.98,,,
- Upgrade HBOOT using http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1679338
- Now you have latest hboot and s-off and you can flash any rom
since you are already rooted, you don't have to do much, just grab a misc version binary from anyone of the threads mentioned, change the misc version on your phone by simply writing 2 commands that are mentioned in any downgrading thread, relock the bootloader using «fastboot oem lock» and run any previous version ruu of your region(exe file), that should be all.
The only place where there's a scope of error is in running ruu, if so, a little search will do.

Moving to Q&A
Sorry for beeing noob, but what does happen when you downgrade Hboot? Does the phone change in any way or is it the same after the process?
Hey guys, so I bought a HTC Sensation XE yesterday (2nd hand), and it's my very first time owning this phone so I'm completely new here on this forum section.
Anyway, I want to get it to S-OFF and I tried following many different guides. In the end, I got really confused, and since I don't wanna risk bricking my phone, I thought I'd ask for some help. But first, here's some basic information about my phone:
1. Stock ICS v4.0.3
2. Software number - 3.33.709.152
3. Baseband version - 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
4. HBoot - v1.29.0000
5. HTCdev Unlocked
6. CWM recovery installed and Rooted with SuperSu
Ok, so here's what I did. I followed this guide here, since the topic title says it's for any 1.2x HBoot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
But since I'm already HTCdev Unlocked, then I have to go to this guide instead (as stated in the instructions):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
BUT, the topic clearly says it's for "HBOOT 1.27.0000 with 3.32 ICS Firmware".
So am I suppose to downgrade my HBoot and firmware then? But then, why would the guide (the first link) say it works for any 1.2x HBoot?
Well, I decided to attempt S-OFF anyway by skipping steps #1, #2 and #3 and jumping straight to step #4. I ran ControlBear, and I get the following error:
Connecting to device...
Searching device.....
Found device.....
Backing up......
Transferring backups....
Secondary backup FAILED!!
Press ENTER to exit.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I searched on the net and apparently the "Secondary Backup" shows up if you're using a custom rom (which I'm not). Other than that, I can't find any other info on this.
What should I do here?
anyone?
OK nvm I got it working. Apparently, I flashed the Superuser v3.07.zip file after getting my HTCdev unlock (because I needed to root it in order to attempt S-OFF), and somehow forgot I did that and then rooted it again by flashing SuperSu.
Somehow, having 2 superuser installed will cause Juopunutbear S-OFF to fail.
Anyway, I achieved S-OFF now, and at the end of the process it asked me if I want to install a modified (custom) HBoot, so I chose yes.
It said installed successfully, but it still shows I'm using HBoot v1.29.0000 in the boot menu (power off + volume down).
Is this suppose to be correct? I dunno what advantages there are for installing a custom HBoot, and apparently it's suppose to be v1.27, so I dunno if I did it correctly or not. It does say I have S-OFF in the menu so that went successfully, but not sure about my HBoot.......
get the hboot flashed. it gives you added benefit when you face any issues.
the best was to get a patched hboot flashed is by flashing revolutionary hboot (patch from hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100 i think -at the end of first post) ..from kohr-ah's firmware thread in sensation development section...flash that like a firmware (instructions in the same thread )
To delete one of the su apps go into system apps folder and delete the one you want.

Running an RUU is only simple for those who haven't been messing with their devices, and that usually isn't us. Since I just did this, I want to write down the steps because I was not able to find easy answers.
This assumes your device is rooted with a different ROM installed. If that is not the case, then you can just download and run the RUU for your device, end of instructions.
Downloading the correct RUU
The most complete list of RUUs for Ville is found on androidruu.com
T-Mobile: http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe
HTC Europe: http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
There are RUU updates listed for other service providers, but I can't tell if they are JellyBean hboot 2.15 or not. If someone knows, I'll update this post.
Preparing your device
Make your device s-off if it isn't already. Why?
You will not have to relock the bootloader to perform the RUU update.
You will not have to flash the boot image separately.
If for some reason you can't or won't go s-off, you can still do this, but will have many more steps to follow.
Instructions to make your device s-off are here for firmwares below 3.14: Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
Or you can use the HTC All-In-One Toolkit which helps you through the process.
Use the HTC All-In-One Toolkit (link above) to change the CID to match the RUU.
You needed Super CID to gain s-off, but it won't help you install RUUs. Even if you are Super CID (11111111), you must change your CID to match the RUU you are installing (mine is TMobile: T-MOB010). I know, kinda defeats the purpose of being Super CID, but the RUU won't succeed otherwise. If you are s-off, it is a one click operation using the All-In-One Toolkit.
Backup your device
Use Titanium backup to backup all your user apps so you can restore them afterwards. (No, don't restore system apps please!)
Also back up your ROM by booting into recovery mode and selecting Backup.
If you are only updating the hboot but keeping the same ROM, you can just restore the backup afterwards. Not sure why anyone would need to update the hboot without installing a new ROM, but then you also have a backup in case things go wrong.
Run the RUU
If you are s-on you will have to relock the bootloader by rebooting into the fastboot mode, connecting your device to the computer and running the command "fastboot oem lock". You will also have to follow the process again to unlock your bootloader after doing the update. Tutorials for that are found elsewhere.
1. Leave bootloader unlocked, and leave s-off as is. No need to go back to s-on or relock bootloader.
2. Run the RUU and wait while it updates the phone (Incidentally, it didn't even wipe my sd partition data!)
3. While you are still in bootloader mode (before booting up), use the All-In-One tool to install the TWRP S4 recovery. Or, if you don't want to use the tool, you'll have to download a recovery and use "fastboot flash recovery" followed by the name of the recovery img file.
4. Reboot bootloader and enter recovery mode
5. Restore from backup or Mount USB from TWRP and copy over the ROM and gapps package, flash, wipe cache, and you are up and running.
If you are s-on you will need to extract the boot.img from the zip you are flashing and flash that image separately with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Note that device still has the unlocked bootloader and is still s-off! :victory:
My device before: hboot 1.09, unlocked bootloader, Super CID, s-off (In layman's terms, this is a device with an unlocked bootloader so it can accept other ROMs, set to accept any service provider's RUU update via SuperCID, and has had write permission to the boot sector removed via s-off).
My device after: hboot 2.15, unlocked bootloader, T-MOB010 CID, s-off
If possible, I will answer your comments or questions by updating this post and I'll refer you back to here.

Can I use this tutorial to rollback to 2.15 or whatever works for ViperS rom with sense 4 after I flashed MaximusHD and firmware?
Now my phone is like this:
Hboot 2.16

S-OFF
CID 11111111
The rom's with sense 5 (I tried just maximus because the others are not compatible with the new firmware, the sdcard mount point for multi user) are killing my battery more than twice faster compared with ViperS. 2h Display vs 5h on Viper.
Thank you!

Upgrading your hboot is a one way street, as far as I know. Can't you change the radio to something else?
I flashed Viper ROM. All the things are ok, gsm, wifi, etc just I can't see the internal memory like I should. I can browse to it file es file explorer but I need a method to default mount the new (4.2.2) location of it. Where is mounted by the internal memory in 4.1 JB? I discovered a file vold.fstab. Maybe I can change something like that somewhere to be able to use 4.1 ROM's again.
Sorry for OFF topic.
Somebody asked it but i want a clear awnser.
Can i use it to roll back to 2.15 from 2.16?

Did you run the RUU.exe when your phone was in bootloader (fastboot USB mode)?

That's the right thing to do, yes?

I have the same problem. I can't go back to stock. I haven't changed my CID yet but I see that has not worked for you.
Did you try with HTC__001 ?

Running an RUU is only simple for those who haven't been messing with their devices, and that usually isn't us. Since I just did this, I want to write down the steps because I was not able to find easy answers.
This assumes your device is rooted with a different ROM installed. If that is not the case, then you can just download and run the RUU for your device, end of instructions.
Downloading the correct RUU
The most complete list of RUUs for Ville is found on androidruu.com
T-Mobile: http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo..._10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe
HTC Europe: http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
There are RUU updates listed for other service providers, but I can't tell if they are JellyBean hboot 2.15 or not. If someone knows, I'll update this post.
Preparing your device
Make your device s-off if it isn't already. Why?
You will not have to relock the bootloader to perform the RUU update.
You will not have to flash the boot image separately.
If for some reason you can't or won't go s-off, you can still do this, but will have many more steps to follow.
Instructions to make your device s-off are here for firmwares below 3.14: Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
Or you can use the HTC All-In-One Toolkit which helps you through the process.
Use the HTC All-In-One Toolkit (link above) to change the CID to match the RUU.
You needed Super CID to gain s-off, but it won't help you install RUUs. Even if you are Super CID (11111111), you must change your CID to match the RUU you are installing (mine is TMobile: T-MOB010). I know, kinda defeats the purpose of being Super CID, but the RUU won't succeed otherwise. If you are s-off, it is a one click operation using the All-In-One Toolkit.
Backup your device
Use Titanium backup to backup all your user apps so you can restore them afterwards. (No, don't restore system apps please!)
Also back up your ROM by booting into recovery mode and selecting Backup.
If you are only updating the hboot but keeping the same ROM, you can just restore the backup afterwards. Not sure why anyone would need to update the hboot without installing a new ROM, but then you also have a backup in case things go wrong.
Run the RUU
If you are s-on you will have to relock the bootloader by rebooting into the fastboot mode, connecting your device to the computer and running the command "fastboot oem lock". You will also have to follow the process again to unlock your bootloader after doing the update. Tutorials for that are found elsewhere.
1. Leave bootloader unlocked, and leave s-off as is. No need to go back to s-on or relock bootloader.
2. Run the RUU and wait while it updates the phone (Incidentally, it didn't even wipe my sd partition data!)
3. While you are still in bootloader mode (before booting up), use the All-In-One tool to install the TWRP S4 recovery. Or, if you don't want to use the tool, you'll have to download a recovery and use "fastboot flash recovery" followed by the name of the recovery img file.
4. Reboot bootloader and enter recovery mode
5. Restore from backup or Mount USB from TWRP and copy over the ROM and gapps package, flash, wipe cache, and you are up and running.
If you are s-on you will need to extract the boot.img from the zip you are flashing and flash that image separately with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Note that device still has the unlocked bootloader and is still s-off! :victory:
My device before: hboot 1.09, unlocked bootloader, Super CID, s-off (In layman's terms, this is a device with an unlocked bootloader so it can accept other ROMs, set to accept any service provider's RUU update via SuperCID, and has had write permission to the boot sector removed via s-off).
My device after: hboot 2.15, unlocked bootloader, T-MOB010 CID, s-off
If possible, I will answer your comments or questions by updating this post and I'll refer you back to here.

Hey I used your instructions and everything was perfect thank you. I used to upgarde and downgrade hboot even to restore the HTC one S
I got the RUU "Error: 159" again with both RUU from first post and testet with each common cid, but at the end I only got success with super cid and the TMO_US Ruu.
Now I am back on Hboot 2.15 and can flash again the newest custom-recovery, thank you very much.
I've heard about a flashabe standalone zip for the hboot 2.15 and found this:
Only for S4!
Boot into bootloader and enable fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for the black screen with white HTC symbol. (Like when you flash a RUU)
then enter:
Code:
fastboot flash zip modded_hboot_YOUR_NEEDED_HBOOT.zip
then if you want
Code:
fastboot oem boot
(Boot into your current ROM)
modded_ = The red text is removed and "tampered" is gone in bootloader.
