I have looked but not found any specifics on my question. I installed 3.20.502.52 RUU when my phone was already S-off and rooted prior due some issues I was having (big mistake, I know). I re-installed a recovery no problem (still s-off) and have been using custom ROMs since. I am actually thinking about flashing RUU 2.47.502.7 which was the original update to Gingerbread from Froyo because I am looking into playing around some with UOT. My concern is whether I will actually be able to flash the ruu safely or not. Since my bootloader was updated to 2.0, will it be downgraded back to 0.85? If so will I be able to utilize AAHK again?

The ruu can't run on an older hboot than the one included in ruu. You can use a PD98IMG though to flash the older gingerbread hboot and then run ruu.

Sounds simple enough. So once I flash the older hboot and run the ruu, I should be able to use AAHK to obtain root? Flashing the hboot should leave my s-off intact.

You will remain s off. If you want to remain on that ruu with root by using the hack kit you would have to revert back to s on before running option 1 again. Hack kit option 1 won't run successfully if you are s off already. I would just re flash recovery and then find a rooted version of the stock ruu and flash via recovery or use a PD98IMG.

After going back to the old hboot and flashing a recovery, I recommend flashing ClearDroid 1.3.0, booting and then flashing 1.3.1 without wiping. It is a very stable, customized version of the Gingerbread Sense 2.1 rom.

I know that AAHK has the option to revert back to stock unrooted and S-on. I tried it back when I first rooted just for the sake of doing so (was out of warranty anyway). If I flash the older bootloader, will AAHK revert everything to unrooted and s-on regardless of what ROM I am using? I am currently on CM7. If leaving CM7 in place and flashing the PD98IMG.zip then AAHK immediately after will work it will actually save time.
I am wanting to do some UOT from scratch on this so I can learn. I have upgraded my contract and got the AT&T Galaxy S3. Now I am taking the Inspire to use as a test phone and personal ROM development learning just because. I want to have fun with it since I am no longer relying on it as my daily phone.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. As long as you have the older hboot it should do the stock s on process. Then just run option 1. You should dabble in using dsixda kitchen if you want to start learning Rom cooking. You can take the rom.zip from the ruu and just root it and install busy box and create your own Rom.zip.

So I've tried about 5 different RUU's to get my phone back to 2.2 with no luck.
Either a signature error or bootload mismatch or something or another.
I have a Sprint HTC Evo with 2.3.3.
Can someone help me get this thing back and running on 2.2?
I recently tried to use Unrevoked on it...which caused some issues with the bootloader .
Thanks, guys/gals
If you aren't s-off then you can't run an RUU for an older version. If you are s-off, just flash a rooted stock 2.2 rom. You can try a different RUU if you're already s-off, just make sure that you follow the directions closely.
If you're trying to root by downgrading, it won't work unless the phone is already s-off. If the phone is s-off and you're trying to gain root access, just flash a PC36IMG of a recovery then flash a rooted rom from there.
If you're taking it in for repair, keep s-off so you can re-root if you get the phone back (if you're already rooted and want to stay that way).

THIS IS FOR UNBRANDED 401 PHONES ONLY! IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT TRY...
Update 2011/08/14
Added more information and details
Renamed thread into GUIDE
Using this guide will reset your device into a vanilla 2.3.4 HTC Sensation phone. Your SD-Card wont be touched and you will have S-OFF and root. This will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader. I tested these steps and i have a 2.3.4 401 Sensation with Locked HBOOT, S-OFF and root.
If you want S-OFF & ROOT on the latest HTC 2.3.4 ROM follow the steps:
1) Backup
2) Get S-OFF on 2.3.3 (Guide Thread)
3) Recover your phone with original 2.3.3 Update

4) Update to 2.3.4 via "Over The Air" (OTA) or using OpenRecovery (OR). I did not use the OR-Method but you can find a lot of information about here. I do not advertise any guides for the OR-method since i did not test them myself.
4) Execute step 2.1 to 2.6 from the Sensation Guide (Guide Thread)
5) Get root again: Sensation Guide 3.1 to 3.12 (Guide Thread)

I think u will be s-on again after the hboot get changed...
Everything I'm reading (the two other threads about this update) says the above method will NOT work. I don't think the OP even tried. Wait for a real dev to cook this up.

Oh boy Some of use knew this was gonna happen
do not flash this to a stock rooted rom - it will **** it up - wait for your favourite dev to update their rom
flashing this will give you the new locked htc bootloader and you will not be s-off anymore (even though it still says you are)

OTA update to 2.3.4
ClockWork Recovery
Root
Restore with Titanium
Reboot and that's it
No OTA
I did exactly like shown in the first post, but i wont get the update ota. It sais that my phone is actually actual.

no - i did not try to.
I am pretty happy with my phone right now. Fast and long battery pack - replaced Sense with LP.
When testing the early (pre-soff) custom roms and test recoverys I had to flash stock RUUs a couple of times.
To get the phone back into a decent state I needed to pg58 flash eng&unsecured boot then root and fastboot recovery.
Can't for the life of me think why anyone would s-off their phone then install stock/ota for any reason (bar repair). It's like buying a track day race car, shouting "look what I've got" then pushing it around rather than thrashing it.

If you just flash the new hboot, it will say lock at the top of the bootloader screen. But you should be able to flash eng hboot, cause I just tried it.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed the hboot from the OTA before flashing it so couldn't confirm for myself. There's been a lot of conflicting information about whether phones are still S-OFF after running the unmodified OTA but it appears that they are. I only ran the RUU then OTA so I could have a backup of a stock 1.45 system.img.

First thing's first - I'm definitely not a newb.
My phone (Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA) is depended upon for work and person use. I've been playing with a lot of custom ROMs and each and every one of them has their own little quirks.
Because of this I have seriously considered going back to stock, but I want to be sure that I can receive OTA updates.
I realize that I can get everything back to stock via RUU, HOWEVER, with SuperCID in place, would I still be able to receive OTA updates? I've read that the RUU doesn't replace the SuperCID with the shipped value.
If not, how would I get the SuperCID back to the original value (which unfortunately I don't have - phone was bought used and already rooted) ?
Thanks so much!
You can get the OTA with superCID the RUU will unroot your phone and reinstall the stock recovery. You will need the stock recovery or you could Brock your phone
If you want to be on the safe side and rewrite your cid do the steps you did to get superCID but instead of 11111111 put T-MOB010 That should get you back on track

Are you sure for this? From what I know IF you install stock ROM from RUU, it will automatically unroot the phone, get back to S-On and of course replace your bootloader with the original one. However to be honest I don't know what happens if you install stock from clockwork recovery - maybe that way the bootloader will not be replaced and you will still have S-Off and root.
TO JWhipple: The Super CID shouldn't matter for RUU. However you could always change it back to your phone/operator version before installing RUU.
@up: not in Sensation. After installing stock with RUU, S-OFF will remain still. To get S-ON back follow this guide. I'm sure, tested on my own Sensation
What would be the right order to go with:
Do you start with changing the SuperCID back to the original one forst or would you first have to go back to S-ON?
SIMPLY TELL ME ONE THING
that can we have official update after installing the latest ruu with s-on and unroot but with super cid?????
thanks
---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------
installing stock ruu doesnt change the phone to s-on or unroot.......but see the guide to do s-on then u might get the official updates
The ruu simply changes your rom to stock unrooted, changes radio, recovery and hboot. It doesn't change stuff like cid and s-off. In theory you can get ota updates with supercid and s-off. The only thing required, would be the stock recovery

Quick question, a few guides to going back to stock Sensation point or that you have to downgrade the firmware and radio. Is downgrading the radio (and firmware for that matter) necessary before flashing stock ROM with RUU? I did it with the last sensation before sending it in for warranty replacement, but only because the guide suggested it. But next time I wouldn't do it if I don't have to. Thanks ahead.

No it is not necessary. It will be required only if your device is S-ON and RUU version is older. Just remeber that if your phone is S-OFF and you want to put it S-ON again, do that after you have flashed stock ROM.

Can anyone give me some instructions or link on how to upgrade to the latest USA T-mobile ICS Rom?
Thank you.
Same here. I've read so many threads, I'm confused as to which procedure to follow...
I have:
Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0 (Stock Tmobile ROM)
HBoot: 1.17.1111
ClockworkMod: 5.0.0.8
Could some post the steps to install the stock TMobile ICS onto the rooted phone?
First of all you have to get rid of CWM to get OTA to install.
In this case you have to back up everything and flush T-mo RUU. It will bring your phone to stock condition with HTC recovery. Then go to Settings and check for HTC updates.
S-OFF does not matter. ICS installs fine with S-OFF.
Here where you can find T-mo RUU: Thanks to original poster!

Back up everything you use, contacts, apps, oh.... I especially backed up my CoPilot... Whatever you think you like, Angry Birds???? LOL Especially if you beat a lot of levels, then back up data.... won't need to start from scratch...LOL
Emails, SMS/MMS... oh well..what you care about. Use Titanium Backup.
Don't forget your Google account, so you won't need to create new one. As you flash RUU yer phone gonna be at point 0.. You'll have to go through initial sign in and so on....
Good luck!!!
Thanks to T-Macgnolia for the RUU!!!

Is there a way to install a TMobile ICS update without using the OTA update?
Like update firmware and then the ROM or something???

What can I say...... You have to be on stock GB ROM in order to get ICS OTA update.

No the RUU does not do anything to the SD card, it only deals with the NAND memory of the device.
For those of you out there that do not know what an RUU is please read the quoted post below
T-Macgnolia said:
RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. This is a utility that is run via a .exe file that is used to flash a stock ROM, stock radio, stock splash screen, stock recovery, and stock firmware of a device. The utility performs a cleaning of the NAND memory of the device before flashing the included stock software. So a RUU is often suggested as a way fix common problems and to unroot a device. The utility also runs a set of checks on a thea device before flashing such as CID (Carrier Identification), battery level check, and firmware version check.
A custom RUU is does the same as a RUU but it has been modified to not run the CID check and sometimes other security checks. You can flash custom ROMs, different radio versions, splash screens, and firmwares. You can even use a custom RUU to flash each of these individually.

maybe you can do some research, find and read what is worth....http://tau.shadowchild.nl
If you update your software then the Hack Kit won´t work as easily as it does with your current build version. I would just run the kit now, and then use the .exe file in the HTC site...you will have the new software but with an S-OFF hboot....that is the best of both worlds...:good:

I understood that, Firstly I will root my phone, after that I will install stock rom to my phone. So My phone will be able to run every rom ? I wont need to downgrade my version. Am I right ?
If Im right, another question I have. Can I install rom manually via htc sync on windows7 ?

The Hack Kit downgrades the firmware if your OS version is above 2.3.3...and yes, the HTC update is in their site in .exe file...just run it and done!
get it here: http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US.exe
Thank you again .

maybe you can do some research, find and read what is worth...
If you update your software then the Hack Kit won´t work as easily as it does with your current build version. I would just run the kit now, and then use the .exe file in the HTC site...you will have the new software but with an S-OFF hboot....that is the best of both worlds...:good:

Mine was AAHK rooted. CWM installed. Running CM7.
I downloaded the .exe RUU from HTC's website.
Rebooted to recovery. Restored from nandroid backup of stock rom. (this step maybe not necessary)
Installed the RUU by running the .exe on my PC.
Now I can't get to CWM.
Bootloader shows "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL".
When I select recovery from the bootloader screen, I get an image of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point.
I removed the battery, reinserted, boot phone fine.
I'm a little confused. It appears I have S-OFF, but no recovery. Does that make sense? How do I get CWM working?

Because s-off != Cwm

That last post was very informative
Since your still s off flash recovery through the options menu of aahk to get back custom recovery. The ruu flashed the locked recovery it needs to install.
