So I was going to buy a new phone, and trade in my sensation for it, so I reverted to stock. Except I installed the wrong RUU for my region and only noticed after re-enabling s-on, and then I was really stupid and tried to flash the right rom.zip while it was s-on and now my phone only boots into the bootloader... how can I S-off and reinstall the right RUU from only the bootloader? Revolutionary is constantly waiting for my device and htc's token id unlocker isn't recognising it either, and when it does it always comes up with an error

do you have htc drivers installed?
if now you have 1.17-1.18 hboot version then revolutionary.io method is the only way to S-OFF
for flashing ruu from bootloader see here

but first you have to be S-OFF

Hi all, I had to re-install a stock rom from an HTC RUU. Prior to that I was HTC unlocked, HBOOT 1.27, firmware 3.33, rooted, custom ROMs.
Right now the bootloader is re-locked, HBOOT 1.29, european stock 3.33.401.106 with 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M radio.
The objective is to re-gain S-OFF and go trough all the way to custom ROM again.
I was thinking to execute fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
To my understanding this should clear off the relocked flag.
At this point to go to htcdev and proceed with that like I did already once.
Probably the above is too simple to work, but the whole JuopunutBear timing thing is a bit an issue having tried already in ther past.
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated.

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 returns bootloader to S-ON, it wont help you.
The only way to S-OFF 1.2x.xxxx HBOOT versions is JuopunutBear S-OFF. Oh and did you know you dont have to be S-OFF to flash ROMs, search for the Flashing ROMs with S-ON guide and follow it.
Jonny, thank you for your input. To be honest I did not know that it was possible flashing with S-OFF, I will look into this.
From you answer I understand that JuopunutBear S-OFF can be used the same also in the case the device was already S-OFF and relocked.
Thanks again.

you have hboot version 1.29.0000 yes? This means that the easier revolutionary method wont work on your phone (revolutionary is GingerBread only), so the only possible way to S-OFF on your phone is with the JuopunutBear method.
To get rid of the relocked text on the bootloader you need to flash the JuopunutBear hboot (which you can only do after S-OFF) then run an RUU. This will make the text say "LOCKED" again
Hello, I have my HTC One X of AT&T unlocked by code through AT&T. It´s Rooted and it´s Bootloader is unlocked and also has the CWM Recovery installed. Never flashed any ROM, it still have the Original ICS ROM, it´s S-ON. Can I update it manually or would I be bricking it?
I was going to follow this tuto http://www.titularesandroid.com/2013/03/actualiza-tu-htc-one-x-at-jelly-bean.html?showComment=1364530268627#c3645276792953205699 but it says that it shouldn´t have "SuperCID and S-on" I don´t have SuperCID because I legally unlocked it, my doubt is about S-on, should I be S-off? If I have to, how do you do it? Thank you.

I would S-OFF. I can explain the steps I took but it may have been a bit overkill. I had a 1.09 hboot so I didn't want to take any risks. I'm on Telus which is only up to 3.17. I'm not sure how 3.18 would go as I understand AT&T has put a mechanism for checking with AT&T over the network. Nevertheless.
- I downloaded the RUU for my phone which was in my case a TELUS RUU 1.91.661.4 and then I extracted the rom from the RUU and the Hboot from the ROM and I flashed the stock Hboot.
- I Booted into the bootloader/fastboot and then I changed my CID back to default, in my case TELUS001. (I don't think you need to do this with S-OFF but it takes less than a minute to do)
- Rebooted back to bootloader/fastboot and ran the RUU
- When the RUU was done I was on ICS.
- Re-Unlocked my bootloader (I'm not on AT&T so no need for Super CID for me, was just to get S-OFF)
- Flashed TWRP
- Boot back to rom to get OTA
- After OTA was done, Booted to TWRP to root stock then nandroid backup for good measure, then flash whatever

SuperCID has nothing to do with SIM unlock. SIM unlock of course allows you to use the phone with another carrier's SIM. CID and SuperCID relate to the HTC firmware such as RUUs and OTAs (typically only allows you to install software intended for your carrier version).
If your phone is the AT&T version, and its bootloader unlocked it must be SuperCID. Period.
SuperCID + OTA = brick
SuperCID + RUU = brick
That is, unless you have S-off. So do the facepalm s-off if you want to RUU or OTA.
Another approach is just flash a stock rooted Jellybean ROM, or a custom ROM based on the AT&T update, such as CleanROM 6. These can be found in the Development forum section.
Get SuperCid,S-off, you are already unlocked but when you get those just ruu to the current OTA and wallah.
so philohtc are you now s-off with jb update?
Not yet, but I'm not 100% sure yet, still having doubts. Because I remember when unlocking the bootloader the CID was all in 1. So how do I put the original CID ? My steps would be the following (Please correct me if I am wrong): 1st- Facepalm S-off 2nd- SuperCID? 3rd- Update through HTC Software Device?. Please give me all the warnings so I don´t brick my phone, thank you!
Boot to bootloader/fastboot.
Do fastboot oem readcid
This will tell you your Cid
If it's 11111111 or 22222222 then proceed to S-OFF.
If not, proceed to SuperCID then S-OFF
Once your S-OFF, Run the RUU
If you want to be anal like I was, after s-off, before running the ruu, you can change your Cid back to an at&t Cid using fastboot oem writecid xxxxxxxx where the X's are the default Cid. I don't know it for at&t by heart.

Hi guys!
I have some problem with HTC Sensation. It boots only till HTC logo. And nothing more! On this device isn't OS.
Some guys said that I need to install RUU exe file through computer. I did it but received error 130 (need other version of RUU, I think).
So can you recommend something?
S-ON, hboot 1.18.000, radio 10.14.9035.02_02
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "On this device isn't OS".Do you mean you haven't install some custom OS on your device or it has no OS at all.If you have erase the OS the bootloop is something natural.
I did a google search for your radio version and according to this I found answers only on some german forums.So your cid (as long as you are s-on) should be possibly a German or a European one.
You can download the latest Europe version from here and give it a try.
You can find your cid number using fastboot.Just get into fastboot mode of your hboot and give the command fastboot getvar cid.
If your bootloader is HTCDEV unlocked give the commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that your hboot should say Relocked instead of Unlocked.Then install the RUU.
You could also give it S-OFF using this guide (Does not require HTCDEV unlock method):
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)
If you are S-ON you can use a RUU only with hboot 1.18 in your case

Why exactly he should use an RUU with hboot 1.18?!
I know that the version of hboot can be upgraded normally but cannot be downgraded as long as you are S-ON.If you are S-OFF you can downgrade everything.Also if you want to install an older RUU and you are S-ON you have to use a gold card and you patch the version of the misc partition to an equal or lower one for the RUU you are going to use.

Hi,
Try THIS ONE
Did you unlock your phone with HTC DEV?
If not, then , DO NOT.
Hi guys I think I know how to do it but any help or advise is always appreciated. This is what I know:
1.- I downloaded RUU from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTC_One_X_RUU_5.18.502.1.exe
2.- Phone Information: Android 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, Software Version 3.18.502.6 710RD, BaseBand 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34L Hboot version 2.14.
3.- Phone is not rooted, not boot loader unlocked, supercid'ed or nothing.
So as far as I know I just need to install HTC Sync for dab and fast boot drivers and after that connect phone with debug enabled, run RUU utility and wait for finish update?
Thanks in advance
If you ever want to unlock your bootloader do not take that update, it has patched the latest root exploit. I'd suggest unlocking your bootloader, installing TWRP recovery, installing Superuser or SuperSU to get root, getting s-off, all before considering running the RUU. If you don't do this before taking the update you may never be able to unlock the phone.
Once you've done all that you can leave the bootloader unlocked and still run the RUU. This way you can experience the update but already have the freedom of an unlocked bootloader.

Just follow the instruction on the following webpage under "Manual system update instructions":
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/news/
HTC Sync is required, but fast boot drivers are not required, and I don't believe USB debugging is required either.
Once you run the RUU executable, it will walk you through step-by-step. Also be aware this will wipe the data partition (but not the "virtual SD" partition). So backup your data accordingly. I'd also backup what is on the virtual SD, just to be safe.
As timmaaa mentioned, the new RUU and OTA updates close the existing exploits, so if you have any desire to mod the phone in the future, its highly recommended to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, S-off before running the RUU.

So, what you both recommend is:
Follow timmaaa thread to get supercid and then unlock boot loader via HTC Dev and after that run rumrunner to get S-OFF?
If that's correct I have a question, can I run a RUU with S-OFF and Supercid? Do I have to relock bootloader in fastboot to run?

Yes that's right. You need to use the 3.18 root method to get SuperCID, then you can unlock your bootloader. Once you unlocked your bootloader you can install TWRP recovery which will allow you to install root. Once you have root you can get s-off.
The only way you can safely run an RUU with SuperCID is if you have s-off, if you run an RUU with SuperCID and s-on you'll brick your phone. You don't need to relock the bootloader.

I clearly stated: "if you have any desire to mod the phone in the future, its highly recommended to SuperCID, unlock bootloader, S-off before running the RUU"
So I'm not sure why you are asking what I recommend.
If you want further clarification: If you ever want to root, or install custom ROMs on the phone, then you should SuperCID, unlock the bootloader, S-off before running the RUU.
If you intend to keep the phone stock, and never root or install custom ROMs, then its okay to run the 5.18 RUU.

Yes, you can. And you should be able to do so with the bootloader unlocked.
Also, be aware that running past Jellybean RUUs with SuperCID and S-on will brick the phone. Its not known whether this still holds true for 5.18 RUU, but I'd assume it does, and never run the RUU with SuperCID and S-on. Simply get S-off first.
There isn't a reason not to get s off either. Super easy with rumrunner and from there use fastboot oem writecid

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.
