what do you get when you are superCID and s-on?
also i wanted to ask a question:
if a flash an ruu will it change the hboot version?
and if it does so how can i downgrade the hboot to flash my stock ruu?
supercid gives you the ability to use any ruu as long as it has the same hboot version or higher
and yes if you use a higher version ruu than your current hboot, it will be upgraded
to downgrade hboot there is a tutorial in the dev section that involves ubuntu

As long as you are S-ON you cant downgrade HBOOT any way...not even by running a RUU
as you are 1.27 HBOOT....you can try JB SOFF noob proof guide here
then once you obtain SOFF you can run any RUU
Also for running RUU ...your cid should match the RUU's otherwise RUU will fail
if you are superCID and SON then any ICS RUU runs
or
if you are superCID and SOFF then ANY RUU will run for you
use JB soff and then you can downgrade you hboot by flashing 1.18 firmware
Hello!
I followed this guide to downgrade my original HBOOT version 2.00.2002 to 0.98.0000. After that I used revolutionary to S-OFF my phone. But now I have to revert all this because of the warranty.
Now I think I have to install the old hboot version from this post. And after that I can install a RUU.
Now here is my question. To get the hboot version 2.00.2002 I have to use the newest RUU available. Somewhere I have read that this version cannot be turned to S-OFF again, but that's wrong, is it?
OK, let me rephrase my question. No matter which RUU version you installed, is it always possible to install an old RUU so you can get HBoot 0.98.xxx.x?

as far as i know...no. flashing a new/old RUU doesn't change your hboot.
that's my experiance at least...
But that's not possible. Because I installed an old RUU to downgrade my HBoot to version 0.98.
OK, I am back to stock now. I used the old hboot from my link and after that I flashed RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8.
Hi there, I want to go back to my factory ROM by RUU, but all of them fails by error of 155. I think it´s because of my Hboot in version 2.15 (I´ve no idea how did it came to my phone, maybe because of some of the custom Roms I had). So do you have any idea what to do with that ? I expect that without S-Off I cannot downgrade Hboot. So is there some RUU based on this ? And how can I recognize it ? Thank you
(I have changed CID to HTC__001)
Edit: I found some version for S3 Ville .. but I have S4, which I can´t find. Any ideas ?
I'm looking for a compatabile RUU as well for my Hboot 2.15. My CID is GLOBA__001
Any Help would be appreciated.
i think S-Off can also let you run an RUU no problem... (ie without CID change)
But remember you have to flash stock recovery and then relock bootloader before attempting to run RUU (with S ON), and make sure you have the correct CID too before relocking, etc.
You should be able to run an RUU with the same level of bootloader, just not one with a lower version, with S ON.
So the euro jellybean version that has been posted on the One S forums should be an appropriate RUU.
Can I S-OFF the hboot 2.02 ??
I mean this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331 will work for my HBOOT 2.02 ?
No, because zergRush won't work. You'll have to unlock your bootloader to gain any sort of root.
Edit: this guide would work

To S-OFF you first have to downgrade to an older HBOOT, which is done by gaining some form of root, running misc_version and then an older RUU. After you're S-OFF you can put on a newer (S-OFFed) HBOOT if you don't want Revolutionary's default one.
As long as you're running gingerbread (i.e. Android 2.3.x, and not ICS which is 4.0.4), you can get temproot. See my signature for more information.

S-OFF is something I too want to do to my HTC Desire S, looking in your signature you are running 2.00.2002.
I am on a newer HBOOT the 2.02.0002.
I understand you have to downgrade first, and then S-OFF, but after S-OFF can I then flash the ICS RUU and get it back to 2.02.0002?
Will it still say Revolutionary? or go back to saying Unlocked (As I am HTC DEV Unlocked).
My main concern is that I don't like the idea of having 0.98, on there after, or having a fake number 6.98 or 7.00.2000 etc.
There seems to be a lot of people still on 2.00.X and not on the 2.02.X.
Are you S-OFF paulie-uk?

I'm hboot S-OFF (what revolutionary can provide), not radio S-OFF (sadly the only way to do this on SAGA is with some extra equipment). I believe the 2.02.0002 hboot came in the ICS RUU, it's just got a bit tighter security, I don't think the partitions have changed since the last version (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

I'm using an S-OFFed ENGineering hboot, where you see people on the other version (2.00.0002) it is (usually) the stock SHIP hboot.

You will have to downgrade. Sadly this will wipe your phone.

After you're S-OFF, I'd suggest you try a custom ROM and not flashing the 4.0.4 RUU (it's a buggy experimental version). Flashing an official RUU is pretty much how you return to stock, so it would most likely overwrite your S-OFFed hboot with a S-ON stock one. Remember, the S-OFF on our device is done in the hboot and not the radio.
When you're S-OFFed the first hboot you will have will be Revolutionary's 6.98 one. You can change this after.
I've found that 2.00.2002 works with all of the ROMs I've tried (which have been based on gingerbread, ICS and JellyBean). The "fake number" ones are there to make flashing a S-ON hboot more difficult, meaning that an OTA update wouldn't undo it. However, it is quite obvious if you were to send your phone in for repairs (still in warranty!?!?!) which is why a few of the tech-savvy who want S-OFF put on the ENG hboots instead.
If you want to overwrite Revolutionary's hboot with a different one with a lower version number, you will need to use dd and if it goes wrong it will brick your phone. You can find the ENG hboots on cyannogenmod's wiki if you don't trust the files I provide in other posts, but I strongly suggest you read about what you're going to do until you're comfortable with it before taking action.
Remember that after changing a hboot or radio, you should always re-wipe and re-flash your phone as partitions can move and always check the md5 first.
hey guys. one problem.. i want to go back to stock ROM. i am supercid and s-off so i understood that i can use any RUU, but i downloaded one and failed because it says get the correct ROM update utility. i locked the bootloader too.
i have maximus hd atm , so which RUU should i use?
Hboot 2.16
Radio 1.20
supercid
s-off
Did you run the ruu while your phone was in fastboot mode? Otherwise the downgrade won't work.
Edit: As you already said, it doesn't matter which ruu you take since your phone is S-OFF. If you try to run an ICS ruu be sure not to install OTAs if you're on superCID or you're going to brick your phone.
