Unroot Desire S

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.

You might ask in that thread...
There you'll find usefull information too

Or, you can check this if you'd like

As an alternative.....

You can use Revolutionary to S-OFF but you need to downgrade your HBoot to 0.98.0000 or 0.98.0002 by installing a v1.xxx RUU . Check this thread to learn how.
Remember to find a correctly branded RUU. You can find a list of RUUs here, which isn't given in the guide.

Thanks
I flashing an official O2 rom, have 155 error. Idea?

I`ve found something- perhaps might be interesting for you
ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again.
Alternatively (in some cases) right click on the file and choose "Run as Administrator"."
(1) You dont have enought battery
(2) You dont use the right RUU that matches your CID
(3) You downloaded a corrupt file (redownload it)
(4) You dont run the file as you phone is in recovery (in fastboot mode)
(5) You didnt relock your bootloader

[Q] How to choose RUU?

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.

If you have Super CID, do not run the RUU. It will brick your phone.
If you're not sure, type the following command into your command line:
fastboot oem
readcid

If the phone is s-on, yes that is right.

First of All Thanksss
yeahhhh its S-on
and please let me know why super cid will brick?? I thought super cid means any ruu will work..lol :silly:
and no mine is not super cid ... so I will upgrade it. :highfive:

SuperCID just means that at&t phones were able to unlock via htcdev because the at&t CID was blocked. SuperCID + s-on + jb RUU = brick. This is because a CID check that occurs halfway through the RUU update doesn't allow the RUU to finish, therefore ending up with a partially completed RUU, which means a bricked phone.

What timmaaa mentioned is basically a bug. The RUU shoudn't run halfway like that, but for some reason on JB RUUs, it does (past RUUs were fine with SuperCID).
But also, what you said above is not true. SuperCID will not allow "any" RUU to work. It only bypasses CID check. Trying to run a RUU for an older hboot will fail version check. You need s-off to run "any" RUU.

thanksssss ALL Update Successful.....

Bootloader s-off problem please help

I was s-off already before and somehow it shows s-on now. I've tried rumrumner, revone, and firewater. They all success but it doesn't show s-off on the bootloader. On firewater it shows there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye. Which I use google and found that it means I have s-off already. Could it be a bootloader problem? I tried fastboot getvar all and it shows s-on.

It's cos you followed the install guide of insertcoin and flashed the hboot that was suggested.. That boot is a modded one by cmviennau am guessing which hides s-on and removes tampered flag etc

Sorry for late reply. I tried to flash a fuu to upgrade firmware and it failed. So I took the att ruu and then I took the ota to upgrade to kit kat firmware (hboot 2.22). Are there anything I could do?

It also shows tempered so I don't think it's a hboot that I flashed. Could it be bootloader issue?

Hmm? Well if it's shown as s-on but you are In fact s-off surely that's a bonus?
Try an app that requires s-off to check if you are, or maybe try supercid as you need s-off for that. That's all can suggest.

Yup, I have s-off and are there any hboot that will show s-off that I could flash? I know that I got s-off because I was able to change cid.
Edit: It also doesn't show the deveoper purpose thing. I didn't flash any hboot. This is like amazing. I don't know what to say. I didn't flash any different hboot after taking the at&t 4.4.2 ota.
