I have HTC Sensation 4G and it was running stock GB but I have updated the software to stock ICS from "software updates".
I wish to downgrade ICS to stock GB as the phone was much faster on GB. I have GB RUU file but of course it won't work as it's not so easy to downgrade from higher to lower version of android os.
My phone has the follwoing:
----------------------------------------
Hboot 1.27.0000
Image firmware 3.32.841.15
Android 4.0.3
CID: Telst001
(I have found that the highest ics version for sensation 4g is 3.32.401.5) so I don't know how Telstra managed to make it 3.32.841.15. Maybe to make it harder for users to update via RUU files. Telstra is the phone carrier who sold the phone to me.
What I want is just to go back to stock GB, I don't want to root my phone and I don't want to S-OFF.
Everyone on net is only talking about rooting and S-OFF the phone but no clear answer or guide on how to Downgrade HTC Sensation 4g from Stock ICS to Stock GB.
Hope you can help me with that.
Thanks
Notes:
PS: I have tried to install almost every RUU_Pyramid version by normal windows installer (RUU.exe) and always stop with error (130) or via fast usb (PG58IMG.zip) with error "Model ID incorrect"!
I also would like someone to give 1 simple answer about this question:
If I S-OFF the phone, will i be able to install any compatible stock RUU version. I mean, i'm now on ICS and if I S-OFF the phone can i downgrade to GB without worrying about change Hboot version, rooting or messing too much with phone. Just run the RUU file and it will work without troubles?

S-Off isn't what will give you the ability to run any RUU.
Changing to the universal CID of 11111111 is what will let you do it.
Of course if you S-Off you can just install a custom recovery and flash any stock GB ROM you want and get to the same end result.

So if I change the universal CID I will be able to downgrade from stock ICS to stock GB without rooting and without S-OFF? if so, how can i change the universal CID?

As I mentioned in my first posting that I want to use stock GB NOT custom rom. I do already have the correct RUU rom for my phone.
So, if you are saying that I have to S-OFF. Then are you are to able to give simple direction 1,2,3....
I can S-OFF the phone with revolutionary but Once I have S-OFF can I just run GB RUU file without rooting and without doing any extra work on the phone???

Revolutionary won't work on ics firmware u jb method for s off , including wire trick
After s off u have two options
1 - change cid to super cid and flash any RUU
2 - find matching RUU for your cid and install
For installing RUU ,
Connect device to pc in fastboot mode and double click RUU , it will install
Check kgs RUU thread in General section for all details information

Here is the guide for getting S-Off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
and here is the thread with all the firmwares: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767&highlight=firmware
In order to run GB again you'll need to install the 1.17 Universal firmware (after having SuperCID and S-Off) using the instructions provided in that thread. However, I have no idea if it is possible to install an older firmware when you're on a newer one; you'll have to ask that in that thread. Finally, be careful and read all the instructions when you do these because gaining S-Off and (especially) installing different Hboots are very dangerous and can easily brick your phone if you do something wrong.

I did follow everything on the link you gave me.
* Phone now is rooted ( Not what I want )
* Revolutionary Utility didn't work with my phone because it doesn't support my Hboot version 1.27.0000 (So I can not get S-OFF with revolutionary).
* As per the guide, I can not have S-OFF with revolutionary, so I won't be able to get SuperCID, because to be able to run cmd command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" I must have S-OFF first. But even if I have SuperCID, that alone won't allow me to install GB
All what I need now is two things:
1- Changing misc version to lower version than what I have to be able to install older RUU
2- Having SuperCID to be able to install other region Radio or RUU version
Can anyone tell me how to change the misc version on HTC Senation and have Supercid?

in ics android there is only way to gain S-OFF and then supercid and it is with juopunutbear method which involves wire trick
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
after that you can flash the GB RUU
Done
Yes, you were all right about using juopunutbear method. I can confirm it's the only way to get S-OFF on ICS 4.0.3. So I have followed juopunutbear method and I got S-OFF so easy without a problem, then I run "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" to get SuperCID.
After that I was able to downgrade from ICS to GB by running RUU.exe
Thanks to you all for your help.
threat to warranty?

Hi,
You are right.
1.27.000 is not currently supported.
You have to wait until it is...
No,there is no eta.
So basically I'm stuck with original firmware?
What can I do then, root? scid..? cwm?

Yes,you can root and install CWM.
But you can only install ROMS with a 3.32 base(latest ICS)
So,6.6.2 is OK
Ok, thank you.
But I tried to flash the CWM taken from the guide thred putting the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd.

Hi,
Try THIS ONE

My cid num, got with adb, is: VODAP102.
Should I insert it in android-info?
Should I super cid the phone before cwm?
Youre gonna have to unlock your bootloader by using htc's official method (google it). Then youll be able to install CWM and whatever else. There are limitations, theres a good guide in the development section about htc official bootloader unlocker. Read that before attempting.

Yes you will have to use the HTC Dev method right now if you want to flash a custom ICS ROM being as those are the only ones you will be able to flash with the Hboot you have. But know this ahead of time the HYC De. Unlock is very different then the Revolutionary unlock. Click the link in my sig to learn mote about the HTc Dev unlock and what it allows you to do. But if I was you I would just wait until Revolutionary supports Hboot 1.27.0000, or someone comes up with a Hboot downgrade for the Sensation cause the HTC Dev method does not fully unlock all portitions except the radio portition like Revolutionary does. Plus it leaves evidence your bootloader has been unlocked so HTC can say your warranty is void. Check out this post to as it gives a little more insight on HTC Dev unlock.
So to root the device I have to CWM it, to CWM it I need to unlock the bootloader?
But, If not rooted, unlocked nor CWModded, can I just install ARHD?
Ok, let's take it the other way round:
My phone is locked, hboot 1.27.0000, S-on, cid VODAP102 and not rooted, but last official stock ics.
Now I want to install last ARHD, what should I do and how??

To flash AHRD you will have to have a unlocked bootloader, either by HTC Dev method or by Revolutionary method. Now as stated by you, malybru, and myself we all know Revolutionary is not compatible with Hboot 1.27.0000 (as of right now), which your device currently has. So this leaves only the HTC Dev method. Now I personally agree with others here on XDA, I would normally stay far away from unlocking via HTC Dev. But seeing as you bought your Sensation new with Hboot 1.27.0000, you really have no other alternative but to wait for Revolutionary to update or for some other means of unlocking becomes available. Also if you do manage to downgrade your Hboot you will have to use HTC Dev to do it.
Now I am in no way saying you should use HTC Dev, nor am I advocating HTC Dev. I am just trying to inform you. What you do with your device is your choice and your choice only. But what ever you do, please post back here with your decision and if applicable any results.
Also if you was wondering why you have to use HT Dev to downgrade Hboot, read this post. Yeah I know it is for GB ROMs but I imagine the same probably holds true for ICS. I mean it is the HTC Dev unlock that allowsyou to downgrade in that senario. But what do I know.

Sure, exploit H.Boot 1.27.0000 for S-Off is revolution, new model of HTC phone is same like HTC_One
****ing S-ON policy HTC because you total locked us
And that is why HTC always following behind Samsung nowadays
I'm waiting XDA revolution
Hi,
I'm new to this forum and new nothing about rooting until a few days ago...quickly discovered the fact that Revolution does not support 1.27.
I unlocked with HTC DEV, ran recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.9-pyramid.img using Fastboot CLI.
After that I backed up my stock Vodafone ICS ROM using CWM then switched to the XDA guide for rooting with su-2.3.6.3 and followed rest of XDA guides for installing a ROM (really useful guides - Thanks!!)
Within an hour I had gone from stock Vodafone ICS to Virtuous Inquisition-v4.0.1
I'll admit I got hooked up on flashing recovery and was given some guidance by a friendly soul but figured the rest out from this forum..

If you ever want to unlock the bootloader again leave the cid alone. BTW you can just flash the radio from the new ota if you want. There's a thread in development section with radios

your question has been answered multiple times.
SuperCID will allow you to run the 2.20 RUU. The reason we're cautioning you is because once you do that, you will lose the ability to flash new radios at all and you'll have to flash a kernel in fast boot.
Also once you do this update to 2.20 you can't go backward to 1.85 even WITH SuperCID because the update includes a new HBOOT.

ok what will happen if i extract the rom.zip from the ruu and will extract and replace the hboot with earlier one and also the recovery with custom one and will rezip it and rename it as PJ83.img and will copy it to storage and run it in the current boot loader. will relock it before running the process.
Will this work and will i b able to flash the stock rom with same boot loader and custom recovery?
I AM AWARE INSTEAD OF DOING THIS I CAN JUST FLASH THE STOCK ROOTED 2.20 ROM FROM TWRP BUT I JUST WANT TO INCREASE MY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WORK.

won't work because RUU's include a signature check and if you alter the files in any way, that signature check will fail.

Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...
Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).
I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.
I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?
If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.
There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?
Is there any chance to make this for the k2cl ( boost mobile ) version?

old.splatterhand, you seem to know this and that about One SV. No chance for older RUU, right? I can't seem to find a clean WWE JB OTA update. I just want a clean, stock, not modified ROM from HTC and I thought RUU is the only way to go :crying: Any advices?

This was before moonshine was available. With S-Off i think it should be possible.

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:

To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.
reboot to bootloader and flash.

The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.
Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Glad, it worked for you.
Yes, of course, everything is appreciated! You can use this thread, please post ruu name too. You can look at my posts there. Hboot, boot.img, recovery, radio, would be fine.
HERE have other ruu

Wow, that's cool !
Did you use rollon's method and flashed PL80IMG.zip in bootloader mode ?
If yes, which android-info.txt did you use ?
If not, how did you do it ?

Even cooler for you.
Did you get the ota update notification for JB then ?
Did you manage to apply it ?
Thanks and congratulations !
Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested
First off here's what I'm working with:
Rogers HTC One X
Cyanogenmod from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2205183
Recovery - TWRP 2.5
Hboot - 2.14
radio - 0.23a.32.09.29
Rooted - I don't think so
SuperCID - 22222222
S-OFF - No
Lock status - Unlocked with HTCDev after SuperCID
Story time:
After deciding to install cyanogenmod on the weekend I've run in to a myriad of issues. I was able to unlock, flash CWM recovery, and install Cyanogen fairly easily, but I ran into the issue where the touch screen doesn't work.
What I've done:
I've found the fix detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863, but have been unable to get all the prerequisites going. From the screen fix thread linked above I need to be rooted, s-offed, and superCIDed.
I believe I got the superCID working by following the steps in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41482419&postcount=2 and fastboot oem readcid returns 22222222
After that I was unlocked before but locked and relocked with a new unlockcode from htcdev
For rooting, I've looked at the methods listed under Root on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237, but I'm not too sure where to find which firmware I'm on. That would be the version of cyanogen would it not. I've tried the x-factor method using All-In-One Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 to no avail, as well as SuperSU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673935 and this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167, but I don't think any method has worked so far.
In order to use S-Off I'm pretty sure you need to be rooted, so it of course it didn't work, what made me think I wasn't rooted was when I was going through the Facepalm S-Off guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155071 when I ran "adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3" it would just me the error su: not found, which means your not in as root according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38278577#post38278577
I've also tried going back to stock using the RUU RUU_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.94.631.3_Radio_0.18as.32.09.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe from http://ruu.androidfiles.org/getdown...9.28L_10.103.32.24L_release_268972_signed.exe, but when I run it I get error 99: Unknown Error, and I if I look in the log it creates it says error 44 HBOOT mismatch. I'm running after relocking, and I've tried just grabbing the rom.zip from %temp%, extracting it and flashing the boot and system imgs, but it says the system.img is too big.
At this point I'd just like to get my phone to work. If I can get it with CM that'd be cool, but stock would be good too. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
In cyanogenmod you have to allow adb root access in developer options.
To ruu without s-off you need to change your cid back to the default but you will brick if you update to 3.18 after. Best to s-off since you changed your cid.

The touchpad doesn't work in cyanogenmod though, that's the root of the issue

I was trying to RUU before changing CID, but was running in to "FAILED (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)", when running the RUU mentioned in the OP
Ah I see the ruu must have had an older hboot version than the one on your phone. You cant downgrade firmware without s-off.
To fix your issue you will need to flash a sense rom and then s-off and then downgrade your touchscreen firmware. Then you can flash whatever evita rom you like.

Thank you very much!
I flashed the Sense build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293032 and was then able to S-Off. After that I was able to down grade the touchpad firmware and install cyanogenmod.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction

Hello guys. I'm new in this "world" and I need some help.
I have unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, I'm also root and I have 4EXT recovery.
I want to be S-off to be SuperCID, install firmware 3.33 universal and then install ROMs without problems.
The webpage of Juopunutbear says that I needd to have a stock RUU and no other ROMs are supported. I have Android 4.0.3 official, it was updated by the phone (I haven't changed anything, for now hehe). Can I use Juopunutbear? Is my Android a stock RUU? If not, how can I use Juopunutbear? I've been looking for Stock RUU but I haven't found any version equals or bigger than my build number (3.32). My sensation is a Vodafone Spanish phone.
Thank you!!!
