Hello!
I have recently looked everywhere on the internet to see what happens when I downgrade my hboot, but I can't find what im looking for.
I have an HTC desire s with hboot 2.00.0002, and want to downgrade because i want to s-off it.
So im now asking you all: What does happen with my phone when I downgrade the hboot?

I want to S-OFF my Desire S. This means I will have to downgrade the HBOOT, as mine isn't supported. (maybe because it's a Vodafone branded one)
After downgrading the HBOOT and S-OFFing it, will the phone still be locked to Vodafone only? or will it be open to any U.K carrier?
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm relatively new to this.
hi
sorry for noob question.... I've got a vodafone branded sensation... What exactly I risk if flash a ruu that it's not the correct one to return s-on??
If you're S-OFF without modifying your CID, it won't work, and it may possibliy brick your phone. If you're S-ON, it won't work.
Just flash the correct ruu, read the guides close if you're returning to S-ON, I've seen some people bricking their phones after running the ruu

I'm s-off, without modifying CID... Which is my correct ruu? The one I had when bought the phone? The one I have now (I'm stock to vodafone last update)?
yo dude, sorry to butt in, but.. do you happen to be in australia?
Hello all,
I'm having a serious issue ... i want to switch to stock. I had Virtuous Saga ROM before which upgraded my HBOOT to 3.04.401.1. Now i flashed older hboot (i didn't know it is wrong) which made me only have bootloader.
Old Ruu's don't work. HtcDev Unlock ditto. i guess i need to have the RUU for 3.04.401.1 or newer to have the phone working before i change version number to downgrade ...
I can't find that RUU ... any help on that?? or other advice?
Thank you,
Edit:
The thread here contains the same problem, the OP claims he fixed it and that he has the newer RUU file. Though i can't find that RUU
Anything friends? Any help please??
Hello,
I got my Desire S today and it has hboot 2.00.002 on it.
I want to know now, whats the best way to S-OFF my phone.
Using an XTC clip or going through the procedure of downgrading hboot and S-OFF with Revolutionary?
According to XTC clip I got some questions, will it fully s-off my phone so I can write every Radio or hboot on it?
EDIT: After a lot reading I recommend everybody to use the first option and wait till HTC drops the support of the Desire S

do more research and you'll be able to decide yourself.
My questions are based on my research and as I understand the XTC clip S-OFF are permanent and your can access and flash everything, am I right?
Both XTC and downgrade gives you full S-OFF
With XTC you can't go back to S-ON for warranty.
With downgrade method you can flash an eng hboot and get back to S-ON in case you need warranty
Tapatalked from a Desire S waiting for Kernel 3 sources. WAKE UP HTC!!!!!!
Ok thank you, I think I'll downgrade now, should I take the oldest RUU for my unbranded european Desire S or do I have to look on a specific Radio Version?
EDIT: Took the REALLY oldest and everything worked.
so i managed to solve my recovery problem. i finally got twrp 2712 onto my device.
bootloader is unlocked
recovery on
superuser on..
hboot 2.15 s-on
i dont remember dealing with supercid when i rooted my old htc incredible.. from what im reading it allows us to use other carrier roms on the device?? im on tmobile and comfortable with that.. is modifying the CID actually necessary? im not planning on receiving any ota's n such.. just want the ability to flash radio's if need be and roms.. If i can skip CId and go to s-off that'd be fine with me, unless its needed for something else.. Will Ibe able to s-off without CID modified? cracking this ****er has been a little bit more difficult the past few phones ive had to do.. thanks much for the help..
As a noob, I installed CM 11 in February without s-off or super-cid (was too afraid to brick my phone). CM works great without s-off, but you need to flash boot.IMG on every update via fastboot.
I did s-off with rumrunner recently without Super-CID. Read my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56185478<br/>
so in moonshine i was getting nowhere.. i had no inclination that the Yes/No were case sensitive to be executed....
