[Q] [HELP] Flashed European ROM after 1.85 RUU and now my hboot is too new.

I had CM10 Nightlies running, and I decided I just wanted to be done and go back to full unrooted stock. So I downloaded the 1.85 RUU, relocked the BL, and ran the RUU.exe... After that it was just fine, but I realized I missed a lot of the basic things that come from having root. So I rerooted and installed TrickDroid... But The page I was on didn't clearly explain that it was for the European HTC One S. Trick Droid 8.1.0. So I flashed this, and upon running, it was messing up in a lot of ways. Can't explain it, but the point is that it was not something I'd use as a daily driver. I then went to do a full wipe and flash Team Venom's Sense ROM. Which I did.... but the wifi didn't work. AT ALL. Just doesn't turn on. I thought it was the ROM, so I wiped and installed MIUI. (Which I'm loving) But again, no wifi. PLUS Camera crashes. No error message, just closes. Can't use it at all. I realized my mistake with TrickDroid, and tried to reflash the RUU (after flashing a stock ROM and relocking BL etc) But it gives me ERROR 155 (UNKNOWN ERROR) - On my phone it says "Hboot version is too new!" It seems to me, that my Hboot is now the one from 2.35 RUU (Which noone officially has released) The only way I can imagine getting this, is with the european ROM. Can it do that? I have Hboot 1.14.0004
I'm out of ideas, and very very frustrated. I can't flash an RUU. And we don't have S-OFF, so downgrading my hboot isn't an option, right?
Please, anybody that can help will definitely get my verbal thanks as well as click on the button. I need someone to sort this out with me.
Thanks.
EDIT: I changed my CID to SUPERCID and flashed the European 2.21 RUU and I'm all set. Thanks a TON to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927939
Not quite the same beginning situation, so hopefully people with MY situation will find this post and be helped!

So much info im getting very confused! ruu's and s off.....

Had my HTC ONE S for a while now
When i first got it i followed all the guides to unlocking the bootload and rooting etc and ended up running viper rom, and various others along the way. You know how it is!
Anyhow i was fiddling once and some how managed to delete the sd card and it wouldnt mount.
I fixed that and im not sure if its a coincidence but i now have random call drops even with a good signal. radio randomly coming on and music apps closing...........mainly when using head phones....................
The following is what was suggested to me.................

Not easy. I'd say do S-OFF as the very first thing (well relatively, of course do the unlock, do the SuperCID, then...). S-OFF ensures you can just flash any RUU and no matter if locked or unlocked or on custom ROM or not.
You can also only do SuperCID and flash any RUU.
Once done, pick the 3.16 WWE RUU. Please do NOT do the OTA which is offered on that RUU if you do not have S-OFF yet as that OTA disables any chance to get S-OFF currently.
If you happen to sit in the US and are on Tmobile, check HERE for latest tmob RUU because you might want Wifi calling and such. Else, just select any you like. I recommend WWE though.
Not really hard then once you got S-OFF. The hard part is understanding S-OFF procedure. If you get that done everything else is pretty easy. There is a thread for S-OFF with a good guide.

Apparently my htc one s is a international one?
Your CID "HTC__001" Suggests you have an international one X and not a carrier locked one xl. You will need to post in the international one x forums.

Any ideas on what i do now as i cant find a htc one s international forum?
EDIT: regarding the above, no one seemed sure and i couldnt seem to find a definitive answer so rather than messing around changing the cid and risking a brick. Some one suggested RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5_Radio_1.06es.50.02.31_10.09a.50.04L_release_275655_signed.exe
as my radio is 1.06es 50.02.31 and the 2.31 works with hboot of 1.14 which mine also is....................
after all this im even more confused lol!
So currently ive relocked the bootloader using fastboot and run the above RUU and im back to stock i believe?
What would one suggest?
im on hboot 1.14.0002 and radio is 1.06es i believe.
Ideally id like to get back to viper rom
Might test for a few days if i can resist a custom rom just to check
thanks

Even I'm on hboot 1.14.. Get an S-OFF, flash a latest radio ie., 1.15. That should work.

so ifi flash s off i can run any run any ruu without risk of bricking? by changing the cid thing thanks?

Risk of bricking came from.SUPER-CID and OTA update, also downgrading h-boot.

first get supercid, then get S-off, then change cid back to original or desired one. if you have a international S4 device original cid wil do fine.
then ruu what you want, s-off simplifies flashing of ruus and roms and more things.
if you might update the device with latest jb without S-off you cant get S-off no more (as of now), you now have the option.
you can always revert back.

Right guys im still not reallty understanding all this sorry.
My phones now coming up with OTA update which i understand i shouldnt run as this then blocks all chance of getting S-Off in the future?
As i understand it my HTC one is a international one so i dont need to change the cid?
So i need to do is get S-Off and run another RUU?
Ill try and follow the guide to S-Off but even that im struggling with Can anyone tell me what RUU i should be running when i manage to get S-Off. My details are above in the first post i think>?
Thanks for your patience.

You need supercid to get soff (face palm)
Then change cid back to original HTC one. To do any otas you want.
Advice:
Before you start. look at your current software version Google the ruu from that info, save the file. When need to ever change back in the future, and then ota back to latest version.

Unless i just go straight to viper

If it's just the message you want to get rid of, just turn off automatic update checks.

Hello
Ok .. since i see some nice gentlemen here responding to queries with patience .. I'd like to post one myself.
I obtained S-Off the very next day i got my One S .. things were running smooth on stock. Looked out for some ROMS and finally installed one. Now I want to revert to my stock ROM while maintaining S-off/root. My problem is only that i don't find this ROM stable or the kernel .. just want to revert to stock.
Will flashing 3.16 WWE RUU take me back to stock firmware and kernel?
Would really appreciate the help

Help! Learning but still in the dark

I have my Sensation $g from T-MOB for 2 years now and it time to upgrade or something. I have tried several different ROMs from different developers and was ok but now I'm questioning my performance. Signal "seems" to be getting worse but since I didn't log can't be sure. I remember it being better before the last 2 ROM changes but the company has changed windows and put a new roof on the building. But my watering holes also seem to be giving me difficulty getting a signal. So I tried to return to stock thinking it may be the radio included in these roms but it seems almost impossible or at least very dangerous to try compared to going forward. I am running an elegancia rom now and going to try another ARHD only b/c I have the 3.33.401.601 firmware. I just learned this is world wide english where as the T-MOB US is only at 3.32.531.x so I cant go back to that. Does anyone think this new ROM will help my signal/connectivity issue?

are you on S-ON or S-OFF?

I'm still S-OFF after installing ARHD 3.33.401.53. but I think I'm no longer rooted.

every custom rom comes pre-rooted so probably you are
use getril app from playstore
it will show you the best combination of radio/ril
otherwise take a look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Actually the ROM I'm installed was a semi stock rom,
https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...ds-cse&usg=AFQjCNEi6ycHiWUAVLkQ-RW0ZoIVvJyiNA
It did remove Root and SuperCid so I returned to previous Rom and looked for another and found what I was looking for "maybe". I'm testing rom's befor I make a desission on whether or not to renew my TMOBUS account or switch.
Thanks so much for the feed back.

[Request] HTC One XL network issue

I have a HTC one XL (s-on, hboot 1.14) with magio rom (4.2) installed. Suddenly my phone stopped getting a network signal. At first I thought its a hardware issue but then I found out it with the software plus its a common issue. Im not an experienced user.
So far I've found out the solutions are
1) Updating the firmware - I have no idea about this. Do I have to install the stock and root again? Is this installing the stock RUU? My CID is all ones, something like 1111111. Will I brick my phone? Do I have to install both th rom and firmware?
2) Beastmod - I feel dumb after reading this thread because it doesnt say what are the requirements to install this. Never installed a kernal before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165880
3) Market app - network speed boost - I tried this, workd like a charm in the first.Sent a few texts but as soon as I made a call I lost the network
Due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I'm sacared to experiment because there is a chance of bricking the phone. I understand the issue is related with android 4.2 so a noob proof guide will help everyone who have the issue.
(example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787148)
kind regards

Whether you decide to update the firmware or install the Beastmode kernel, you will need s-off. You'll find the s-off thread here. You'll almost definitely need to change ROMs temporarily as it seems to be virtually impossible to achieve on a Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM.
The kernel is s-on friendly but many people who are s-on have had trouble installing it. The 2.15 firmware can be found in the first post of this thread, along with instructions on how to flash it. It has nothing to do with returning to stock or RUUs and you don't need to modify your phone other than getting s-off first.

The firmware package being discussed (for resolving signal drop issues on Sense 5 ROMs) and linked by timmaaa above is not an RUU, but just the hboot, radio, boot.img, media and WiFi modules that came with the "official" Sense 5 OTA. It will only overwrite the modules I named, not the ROM. Nothing else needs to be done (you will still have your current ROM, root, etc.).
You must be s-off to install this.

[Q] Strange RUU Error...

Hi,
I'm trying to get a One S back to stock for a friend but failing...
The phone is unlocked, S-ON, hboot 1.14, 02_01 CID, has CWM recovery and rooted Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed, battery 100% and runs fine as is...
So, first of all I re-lock ready to run this RUU:
RUU_Ville_U_O2_UK_1.78.206.4_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258707_signed
but every time half way through it fails with the following errors in the attached screen shots...
A point to add is as soon as I re-lock the phone, it then will not boot but goes straight into hboot every time which I thought was strange..?
Anyway, some guidance would be very welcome to get this One S back to stock,
EDIT: Just flashed S4 Stock Recovery and the RUU still fails half way through, any ideas..?
Can anyone give me links to O2__01 HTC One S RUU files, can't find any live one anywhere..??
Thanks

Getting a RUU to run correctly is very hit and miss. The page below is a useful guide to double check the basics:

Post 9 details that with s-on you can't flash a RUU with a radio version older than the one you are on already. This may be your problem as I think your radio version will be 1.06 and the one in the RUU you are trying to run is 0.16. The problem with s-on is you can't flash radio's to do anything about that.
The RUU that should work is the one listed below, but I can't find any decent download links for it, like you said. Just try googling it and see if anything turns up.

Thanks rosswhite, I think you are right about the radio and no I can't find any download links that work either...
Another thought, does anyone have or know where to get a nandroid backup of O2_01..?

Your other option of course is to S-OFF the device. You can then flash any radio or RUU you want.
