[Q] Restore Stock 2.3.5 in Desire s

I had 2.3.3 out of box and later got 2.3.5 upgrade OTA upgrade version 2.15.720.3. I rooted Hboot 2.00.0002 using htcdev.com and installed a custom rom. Now i need to get back HTC stock 2.3.5. I cannot find any RUU for it as iam from India and not able to install old RUU 1.47.720.1. I tried both tacoroot and zergRush but it didnot work.
My bootloader is
**Unlocked**
S-on
Hboot 2.00.002
Please advice.

Here's a list of prevalent RUUs at the moment. Pick on of your choice from here:
List of shipped Desire S ROMs
But before that, you may want to create a Gold Card as described HERE. That being to forestall/avert difficulties once you proceed. Good luck

Hi thanks for your reply.
I created the goldcard and tried to install the previous official RUU. It started well and got stuck showing verifying signature and showed updating signature.. and stopped. Showing ERROR 115.

Please help...

Can't install ICS RUU or ICS OTA on Sensation 4G (T-Mobile)

Hey guys. I have the latest 1.50.401.1 European stock ROM with stock recovery and all (S-ON, CID HTC__001). I installed this a while ago from the lastest European RUU 1.50.401.1 without any issues. I bought the phone at 2nd hand from a guy who installed some custom ROM on it so I flashed that RUU to return to stock (not T-Mobile stock ROM though, which was originally on the phone).
Now I'm trying to install RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69. 3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe which is the lastest ICS RUU I think and the installer comes up with an error about my model ID. MID is PG5810000 (Sensation 4G - TMobile).
Also, I received the OTA after I went back to S-ON and fiddled with the CID yesterday (after running the first RUU a while ago it seems S-OFF didn't go away, not sure if it was supposed to in the first place). The CID is now HTC__001. Not sure what is was originally though. Anyway, I got the ICS OTA and tried to install, but after downloading it aborted the installation with the attached error.
Any ideas? I've been told that I need MID to be PG5813000 to install the ICS RUU, but why did the GB RUU work in the first place?
I want to install either the OTA (would be better) or the RUU, so if anyone has anything to say, I appreciate it.
Thanks!

ICS OTA will not install after de-branding: Something about modified software.

Hi,
I de-branded by Vodafone HTC Sensation using the following ROM:
ruu_pyramid_htc_europe_1.50.401.1_r_radio_10.58.9035.00u_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed
And I first used SuperCID to install flash this ROM and then changed it to HTC__032 which is Europe unbranded after it was installed. However, when I try to install the ICS update, I get a message:
"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com"
Now what do I do? Can anybody give me the official HTC Vodafone Australia ROM so I can go back?
If I used SuperCID (1111111), then it says "there are no update available for your phone".
This sucks.

Change your cid to HTC_001 and you should be able to get the proper update for your current rom.

Didn't work. Same message.
Never mind. I did find my original Vodafone stock ROM and flashed back. Now the question is...should I S-ON or is ok just to leave it at S-OFF? Will it affect the ICS update whenever Vodafone decides to launch it?

The reason its giving you the message in the OP is custom recovery or custom rom. If your on your stock gingerbread rom then just flash stock recovery in hboot. Being s off or rooted doesn't stop you getting the update.

Just use a RUU to go back to stock?

delete please solved

I tried by running ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2........ google it and you will find the RUU. run the RUU in administrator mode and you might have to try 2-3 times. Not remembering exactly how many times have to run it, but finally could upgrade and could generate "Unlock_code.bin"
I used customs ROMS and the best I found was SuperOSR chacha 2.5
Today only I have managed to downgrade to 1.20.720.1 and successfully restore the indian RUU. So now my Chacha is back to factory. Locked again.
