ruu vile u htc europe 1.53.401.2 it' posted on the devs section

Iv pushed over the modified mmcblk0p23 file, then locked my boot and ran that build of the ruu but it comes across with error 155. I'm guessing I need to try the first method?

Did you relock your bootloader first?

Yes

All I can say is make sure you do "exactly" what the instructions say. I downgraded my hboot and I got stuck for that reason. And if you have to post in that thread I did and got fast help but make sure you tell them exactly what's happening

is there no easy to follow guide for this? as im well confused and well newbied

What method is this?
Tmobile HTC One™ S

[Q] Question on Software update/warranty, etc

I'm new to this site, just registered. Sorry i'm a noob!! So I have had the Blue Tmobile One S since august but sold that one to my friend and bought a black one from a guy and said it's from solavei, So I try it and everything seems legit except It's running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0. So I go to menu>Software updates>check now to see if I can get the OTA they had in September but it says I am currently up to date. I checked my sotfware information and it said my software number was 1.84.1135.17 71ORD. I look online to see if I can some how download it and it told me that if I don't have these two other numbers and had something else then the warranty is void and I can't get updates. So My big question is how can I change my software number? Do I have to like root my phone? Then some how unroot it back to a different stock ROM? I'm open to suggestions and I would really like an answer thanks!!

If you're on 1.84 I would not update via OTA. You probably have a 1.06 or .09 hboot, which will be extremely nice for you.
I would suggest unlocking your bootloader via HTC and installing TrickDroid if you want stock. There arr several guides, including a all in one tool to help you with the process.

You can try typing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* into the dialer and then checking for updates.
Or you can find a T-Mobile US 2.35 RUU and running that. However it will be more difficult to flash ROMs once you have upgraded if you want to do that later on.

I tried that and all it did was say in my notifications "checkin succeeded" and nothing else happend.. so idk about that. I'm not really looking to root my phone, all I really want to do is have my phone run on the latest software and get OTA updates if possible. But if I need to root it, I will. And for the second thing, I'd have to root my phone to run the 2.35 right?

After "checkin succeeded" you should then check for updates in Settings, as I mentioned earlier.
You seem to be running an "ORD" build which is basically like a Beta test for the latest software. RD stands for Research & Development. The latest 2.35 RUU should work without rooting.
However that will upgrade your HBOOT and make it more difficult if you decide to root later on.

I am on 1.84 and I don't have the 1.06 or .09 hboot, I have the higher 1.14 I think, on Cincinnati Bell wireless. Not to hijack your thread bud but I am stuck wondering what I should do as well, since there is no RUU from my provider, I have cid HTC_017.
I also have the 4.0.3 with HTC 4.0

Change CID to HTC__001, run a 2.31 unbranded RUU. Then use the downgrade thread to downgrade down to 1.06 HBOOT.

Do SuperCID then any RUU will work.

Best method downgrading hboot

I have read the tut for brick/unbrick and downgrade hboot in dev section. And if I read it good there are 2 methods of downgrade hboot
1) brick/unbrick device and downgrade hboot (first post tutorial)
2) change CID and run RUU with lower hboot (second post tutorial)
If these are the options I think the second is the easiest way to downgrade hboot, but why are most people downgrading there devices by bricking it? Are there advantages or disadvantages for each method?
Edit I have hboot 2.15 and want downgrade to hboot 1.06

Changing cid seems to have caused a few bricks for some people when trying to update to official JB OTA.

So would you advice to use the first method, although I already OTA updated to JB?

I have downgrad by the first method and i have test all the way to hard brick my phone
And I can say that it's impossible to hard brick your phone with this tutorial.

I think the issue happend when the cid was already changed on ICS, and you tried to update to JB. Changing it when you already are on JB shouldnt be any problem.
But I havnt done any downgrading myself, so I dont know... Its just what Ive read.

Just to be clear there is ONLY one way to downgrade hboot and that is with what you call option 1.
For what you describe as option 2 that ONLY applies AFTER you do option 1. If you want to run a RUU AFTER you've completed the downgrade you also have to do what is stated in the second post. Although it's much easier to use the the all in one tool kit reset your main version. This is achieved by and pressing the "Main version fix" button using the all in one toolkit. That will save you trouble of pulling mmcblkp23, hex editing it, then pushing it back to the phone.

Alright I understand it, I will read the tut again and try with my nooby knowledge of linux to downgrade

It's a pretty straight forward method. Try not to panic if you encounter a problem. The good news is that it's almost impossible to truly "brick" this phone. Just take a step back and reread the instructions paying close attention to the details. Post your questions about the process in the main thread, the people that follow it typically have a higher level of understanding then the forum overall.
If you don't have the required 10 posts to be able to post in the development sections go post some BS ones somewhere in XDA so you can get into that thread.

Oke thanks :thumbup:, it sounds doable to downgrade with these instructions

I was told to change my CID to supercid and run a 2.31 RUU before doing the downgrade.

I said that because at the time it would have made your phone up to date before doing the downgrade but he is already on JB so that RUU wont work and only needs to do the downgrade.

[Q] - S-off failed - need guidance

HI all,
I am sorry if this question may have been asked before but I have followed the instruction on [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA
but I still can not get the S-OFF.
I use the toolkit : [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit
I believe my phone is rooted but I can not get the S-OFF. in the bootloader it said "Temppered" unlocked but the S-on
Can I please get some direction on what I did wrong?
Cheers
I want to flash either the telstra stock or the Clean rom I beleieve. I am not sure which one to try but I want the one with the closest to the stock but the optimised version of the stock.
Thanks
Arda

"Tampered' means you are rooted. That is a good thing.
What step of the S-off process are you stuck on? Any error messages?
Did you confirm you have SuperCID?

Cheers for the reply.
The steps which failed was when I had to confirm the restore. This is on the process getting the superCID.
I accepted the restore but on the screen on the phone the restore said "restore starting" and then few seconds later it said "restore end" as if restore does not get completed.

Do you actually have an AT&T version of the One X, or another carrier?

Ha, I called that one! The use of "cheers" had me thinking you were not an American. Its the dual core version of the One X/XL right?
X-factor only works for the AT&T version. X-factor is failing to change the CID because (I think) its looking for the AT&T CID (CWS_001) and not finding it.
I think you have to change the CID the "manual" way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671396
Instead of CWS_001, of course you will be looking for your carrier's ID (whatever that is).

Yes I am in from the land of down under
So do I just follow exactly what that guide is?
Do I need to have the S-OFF to be able to successfully flash firmware?

okay now I have followed the tutorial above and when I check my CID is now 1111111 because I changed it in the hex edittor and pushed it again back.
when I reboot it still came up with the S-ON
I am not sure if this is done for me?
any suggestions is much appreciated
thanks

OK, so now your supercid go through the s-off process again....

THANK YOU!!!
got the S-OFF displayed now and CID 11111111
so if I want to flash firmware (closest to stock), which tutorial should I follow?
any recommendation for :
1. ICS version which is very stable?
2. JB which is very stable?
I am using my phoen for internet browsing, skype, WhatsUp and also emailing most of the time.
Any recommendation is greatly appreciated
Cheers

At this point pretty much every Rom is stable. I don't think there are any ics roms in active development anymore. If you like close to stock go look at the roms in the android development section. They are mostly all sense based and each brings its own tweaks to the table

Don't muck around with firmware... HBoot versions etc. don't matter much once you have s-off.
If you like sense roms, Cleanrom is great (very close to stock) or ViperXL (much more customisable). You'll find both these in the Android Development thread. For a more native Android experience I'm loving Liquid Smooth, available in Android Original Development.
Good luck!

Return to stock

Hello xda members,
I ran into a problem the other day. My nandroid is no longer with me due to a defective hard drive . I now decided I want to return to stock to sell the phone.
I'm on hboot 1.27 and iam s off.
I want to flash an ruu, the phone is the Europe/international version. These forums are so big that I do not know where to start looking for ruu's, neither do I know what type I need since I have numberous phones and always kept a nandroid ..
Is there anyone that can either push me I'm the right direction or even give me a link to an htc ruu website?
Thanks in advance.

Since your phone is s-off you can write supercid to it and choose any RUU, but stick with the latest WWE ones.
EDIT:
After supercid I suggest this one:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.53_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed.exe
