[SOLVED] which ruu do i need for s-on

hey folks. i hope some1 can point me in the correct direction.
(yea 1st post _yay_ lame indeed to start with a question at all, but im following xda for quite a while.. :-| )
i want to send in my phone to warranty because i got the dust under screen problem.
i have a vodafone DE branded sensation with software version 1.35.162.1...
now, according to the guide [Guide] to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof) i want to follow the steps to gain s-on again and removin CWM.
my problem is i cant find any RUU higher than/or equal to x.35.xxx.x since downgrading doesnt work and i only have this RUU RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.27.162.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191975_signed.
i am on stock rom now, unrooted. i came from CM7 a10.
question is which ruu can i take now and could i use a htc europe ruu by changing the cid?
thanks in advance

ok didnt look for any search terms related to the word "downgrade"...
i found a link for Eng-Hboot where i can downgrade to HBOOT Version 1.17.2008
after that i shud be able to flash lower ruu versions...

My answer maybe is a litte OT but...
Do You think they will be check which exactly ROM you should have? Also read for terms of warranty, there is nothing about loosing warranty after changing software

*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.18.0000
SoftwareVersion 1.45.162.2
seems like i solved it on my own!
thread can be closed, deleted, whatsoever... sry for spam

[Q] Help back to S-ON sensation

Hi everybody, i'm new on this forum 'cause i'm french indeed i spend my time on Frandroid.fr !
First of all i would like to say sorry for my bad english i'll use i'm just trying to do my best in order to you can read this message.
So, i'm here because i have a problem with my HTC sensation, he had the problem that he powered off all the time even when i didn't use it. To escape this problem i flashed an ICS ROM with Recovery etc.. Then the problem hasn't been resolved so i decided to send my phone at the warranty, but before i have to put my sensation in S-ON, so i used the RUU VODAFONE and i changed my CID in VODPA203. I've seen that there were 3 steps before put the phone in S-ON, first i must have an Hboot less than 1.18 that i have, second be in official ROM that i have and the last step is have a CID HTC that i have (VODAP203).
The problem i have is that on the bootloader, i haven't got the ***LOCKED*** at the top of the screen (sorry i can't put my photo links yet...)
In other words, i THINK, but i'm not sure that my bootloader is not LOCKED.
So can i do the process in order to put my phone in S-ON without the ***LOCKED*** ? Is it risky to do it without ?
I hope that you'll understand my message because it's probably bad english, and a bit to long but i think that i had to explain my problem to you understand.
Thank you, Sharazed.

Not clear enough but not for the english.
What your bootloader says? **unlocked** or **locked** (I think unlocked).
If you attempt to lock again by HtcDev it will show **re-locked**.
The bootloader is now officially unlockable by htc so I wouldn't worry about it.
Not clear if you went back to s-on already or not.
This guide can be useful (step 5)

That's the problem !
Nothing is written at the top of my bootloader, neither LOCKED nor UNLOCKED, just start with PYRAMID...
I can't show you the screen because i have to post 8 messages before.. Normally there is written LOCKED or UNLOCKED but not on my bootloader, that's why i'm asking you if i can do the process, i'll see your link thank's !
After read your link i can't do it from number 6 (STEP 5) to number 9 cause i'm not sure that's my phone is locked.

You never had nothing on top since you had this phone?
I mean no **locked** and no **unlocked**?
By the way if you were able to flash an ics rom (with new firmware and custom recovery), obviously you are unlocked and s-off

Yes i think that i'm unlocked because before used the RUU i was unlocked but as it's not sure, i'm scared to brick my phone you know.
So i hope that i 'll can send you my pictures then you could compare with other phones, but on the french forum, nobody ever seen that before i can write you what i see on my bootloader:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.0008
RADIO_10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
May 13 2011, 21:04:57
That's what i see !
Thank's !

Definitely your phone is unlocked.
You couldn't be S-Off, if it was locked.
Hboot is the right one for GB.
You can go through the S-ON procedure without problems.
Just be carefull and follow instructions.
Please hit thanks button if you wish

What do you mean by GB ?

Ginger Bread (android 2.3)

Okay, but i read that i had to be LOCK before go to S-ON so is it dangerous ?

There is no need to lock again for 2 reasons.
1) Bootloader is officially unlockable by HtcDev. If you lock again it will show **re locked**. Your warranty is void in any case.
Your bootloader has never been locked (according to what you said).

I don't understant because on the french tutorial, it says that i must have my bootloader locked and hboot inferior at 1.18 then if the bootloader is unlocked by revolutionnary (that i had before use the RUU) it's not advisable to back to S-ON.
And you are telling me that i need not to put my bootloader locked to do the process ?
I'm totally lost !
I have to write 8 messages before link my pictures, you'll see my case

Locking bootloader and S-On are 2 different things.
Your situation is uncommon because the sensation is usually shipped **locked** and S-On.
Then, in order to S-Off you need to unlock first.
In your case you are S-Off already without unlocking by HtcDev, so it means that it was shipped unlocked (strange but this is what you say), hence no need to relock in my opinion.

No he wasn't usually shipped UNLOCKED (S-OFF..), but i have unlocked it because my phone is knowing reboot lonely, so i decided to flash Recovery and ICS rom, but with the ROM the bug had persisted.
And now I used the RUU to erase the ICS rom and put my phone in S-ON, but after using the RUU and follow all steps, i see that nothing is written at the top of my bootloader, neither ***LOCKED*** nor ***UNLOCKED*** as before..
So i'm asking you if i can finally put my phone in S-ON without the word LOCKED at the top of my bootloader ?!
Thank's !

Little up !

Nobody know ?

Htc one x help scared croatian :(

Hello guys
Sorry for my bad english but il try to be precise as i can. I bought my htc on ebay it says new and it feels new. But after i read may treads here it seems its not new . I have problems with automatic software update it freezes on 20% then it reboots after few minutes, if i regard this problem the phone works fine. But im fustrated i want new software . Now i got in boot loader in this is what it says:
++++locked+++++ - in one tread i read this should be relocked
evita pvt ship s-off rl - i belive this is s-off i need your confirmation
cid - 11111111 - i dont understand fully this yet but its a good thing i belive
h-boot 1.09.0000 - dont understand what this means
RADIO - 0.16a.32.09.17_2 - i belive this is software for my phones antena

emmc -boot
Apr 2 2012, 21:08:24 - is this last known software update i manufacturing date
Know i need you help to explain this thing to me and if its safe and what do i have to do to install new software. Which software whould you
recommend and maybe can i install viper xl
Thanks

The phone definitely isn't new. You have SuperCID (11111111) and s-off which means it has been unlocked at some point. But the good news is you can easily unlock the bootloader at htcdev, then install a custom recovery, and then install Viper if you wish.

Thanks for the reply, now i never unlocked bootloader can you give me some advice on the safest way to do that and where can i see when bootloader is unlocked, sorry for dumb questions but if i dont ask ill never learn

Can somebody send me some links where can i find instructions on how to unlock bootloader, make recovery image and then how to install viper xl rom

Is your phone an at&t model? If it is it'll have the at&t logo above the screen, otherwise it'll just have the HTC logo.

You already have SuperCID so you can go to htcdev and unlock your bootloader.

The phone is s-off, does the OP even need to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, flash ROM, etc.?
You typically won't receive OTAs for AT&T phones outside of North America. So that is probably why the update is failing.

[Q] HELP - getting back to stock for warranty purposes

Hi everyone,
Few weeks ago my device started to overheat quite a lot when being used (I dont play 3d games, well I dont play games at all on this device), for browsing the internet on wifi or 3g network, it gets hot in the bottom part of the screen above the touch buttons. I tried buying a new battery, I bought a original HTC, but a bigger one for Evo 3D, but it is still getting hot, and I dont know whether it is a hardware issue or a software caused. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? ...my sensation is rooted, bootloader unlocked via HTCDev, S-OFF..and I still might try to use my warranty to get it repaired but I dont want to take the chance that I would be told that the device had been unlocked and rooted and thus not being repaired...I read that it ist possible to get device back to S-ON and LOCKED, not RELOCKED, so that the repair center wont find out that it was unlocked and rooted before...but I could not find a tutorial and I also do want to brick my device so I am asking for some help how to get the device back to STOCK rom with S-ON and LOCKED status...
my bootloader says this:
-Firmware-3.33-
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot

Can you help me with some steps what to do or just point me to some tutorial? I would be really gratefull for any advice.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 There is pretty much everything covered about RUUs.
And gaining the ''***Locked***'' status for bootloader is impossible. It will say ''***RELOCKED***''

it is possible since you are on S-OFF
but i don't remember the link
you can use also the flashable zip(only from bootloader can be flashed)except of adb command

Okay, maybe it goes to ''Locked'' state itself once you go to S-ON/Flash a RUU

Soft Bricked HTC One S (S3) on Hboot 2.09.0001 - S-On (VilleC2 PVT SHIP)

Hello,
First time poster so please be gentle. (I am somewhat noobish when it comes to remembering terms and whatnot)
I've gotten myself into quiet a pickle here. I ran a successful RUU on my handset (ofc with SuperCID as well as S-off, unlocked bootloader and root) and had the time of my life. I was back to stock! A day later I wanted to update you see but got the "variant system detected" problem. Considering that I was still S-off and SuperCID'd I instead decided to change my CID (yes, that wasnt very smart) instead of just going S-on and then updating (I'm also not too familiar with OTA so yeah....). I had 2 RUU's on my desktop (the current one i used was for ICS a.k.a 4.0.4 Asia WWE Telkomsel whereas the other one i was planning to use was Vodafone UK JB), Me being the idiot I was clicked on the Vodafone one, searched up the CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001) and rewrote the CID.
I then proceeded to S-On so i could get OTA updates working finally and again being the idiot I am ran the Vodafone RUU.
This cleared all my data and wiped the OS clear off my phone.
So now im stuck with:
VilleC2 PVT Ship S-On
Hboot -2.09.0001
Radio-16.05.20.16_M2
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
as well as a CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001)
And here I am now. (sorry about the storytelling)
I have tried 2 roms so far which are:
- mcOneS3_1_0_0_DeODEX (yes i know, my Hboot wasn't right. Tried it anyways)
- BackToBasics_V3
Neither worked and I've been searching the web for more roms as well as an RUU that can match all my details (which is very unlikely).
I've also been trying to search for [ROM][DISCONTINUED][S3][18 FEB] TrickDroid 6.0.0 and was wondering if anyone had a copy lying around that they could provide since Trickdroid for the S3 has been discontinued:crying:. If someone could provide me that, I would be extremely grateful. Also any advice is great too.
Thanks~
