It's quite difficult to get that RUU.
If you are S Off, change your CID & try flashing some other RUU

I know but having just bought this phone, if I were to bring in warranty then I would return it to stock rom

Or even having the original ROM and having only unlocked bootloader and installed a recovery, I could make a nandroid of the rom and if I remember correctly I should get the same end result, ie the cell to its initial state, right??

Nandroid doesn't backup firmware.
You can however restore the NANDROID backup, then manually flash the recovery through fastboot.
If all of this works out fine, then you need to flash the locked Hboot & radio (can be taken from any RUU) manually.

Thanks a lot for the tip but with the ruu would be much simpler and straightforward

htcdev unlock vs S-OFF / downgrade

Hello,
i am totally newbie here. Spent last 2 nights studying forum threads, but im still confused.
What is better to unlock via htcdev and remain S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.0002 or to downgrade HBOOT ?
I would like to tryout AOKP, Cyanogen and Fallout roms. Alternatively i want to try official ICS ASAP.

Unlocking via HTCdev leaves the phone S-ON. Therefore you always have to flash the the kernel (boot.IMG) from a PC via FASTBOOT when you flash a new rom with a different base. E.G. CM and Fallout. If the base hasn't change you don't need to.
If you downgrade and S-OFF your device you don't have to do that. Plus you can flash different radios (barely necessary).
HTCdev unlock is easier to do and gives you a lot of possibilities.
S-OFF is a little more advanced and there is a little more danger to brick your phone when you don't do it carefully.
Nevertheless I prefer the hard way since HTCdev is not the way I would go. Plus HTC knows that my device is unlocked.

Agreed. Although if you're changing ROMs often then HTCDev is not the easier way. Flashing the boot.img can be quite a pain if you're doing it often.

There was a nice text about that in another thread.

Ok,
so what you guys are basically saying is, that when i unlock my phone thru HTC-Dev, the company knows about it.
From this point of view, it's better to downgrade hboot and S-OFF.
I have one more question - if original ICS for DS will be realeased, how can i install it ? Do i have to revert to original hboot and original sense rom to find the update and install then ?

You'll find it here ...

Finally i temprooted this way
Zergush & misc - to temp root and prepare phone to be downgrade
Downgrade to RUU with 0.98.0000
S-OFF & install ClockWorkMod Recovery
Install Cyanogen 7.2
As rom i chose Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. I am unexperienced with custom roms and dont want to be disappointed by semi-functional ICS roms by now.

If you're going for gingerbread take a look at reaper as well. It's basically a much faster version of CM7

For now, i am going to stick with ginger till the kernel will be released and the roms fully functional.
In future i would like to test ICS roms, but after new kernel. And of course Jelly Bean, if someone port it.
Basically if i want to change ROM, i just put it in root of SDcard, boot revolutionary, wipe and install from ZIP ? Is that simple now, after S-OFF ?
Thanx for the tip to check out reaper, btw

Yep that's all you need to do. I have to say though don't be afraid to just make a backup of your current ROM in CWM and try out other things.

Dan-fish, thanks for all your help
But i have one more question. What is all that mess around eMMC chip ? How can it happen to me ? Often flashing, installing from zip or ?

No the most common reason is pulling the battery out while the phone is on.

Dear remusator..
I'm trying downgrade hboot from 2.00.0002 to 0.98.00000 but I could not.
Can you explane how you make downgrade?
My device is "UNLOCKED"
Hboot - 2.00.0002
RADIO - 3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC - boot
Thanks..

Mine was locked. Check the first post. I didn't unlock via htc dev, maybe that's the problem.
I followed these tutorials :
1, Downgrade ruu and hboot to make root possible
sw 2.10<= http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
sw 2.11>=http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
2, S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
section How To: S-Off your device with Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool (For HBOOT 0.98.0000, 0.98.0002)
3, Choose rom you like and flash via recovery. First i tried was cyanogenmod 7,2. Then i made backup, wiped again and installed AOKP. I'm not going back )
While browsing forums, i found topic about downgrading while UNLOCKED. Search forums, i can't find it anymore.
Btw, check your software version - tutorials differ from sw version.
PS: don't be afraid. In my case, everything went just fine.

Stock Rom needed
Hi remusator, which stock ROM did you use?
I'm mostly finding a lot of dead links and very few live ones for stock Desire S Roms.

I have used quite - Fallout / AOKP / Cyanogen 7.2
But i returned back to Stock. I used pre-rooted. I don't need root at the moment, but the prerooted rom can run on custom bootloader.
I use 2.10.401.9 sw version, take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480576
Before root my official rom was 2.10.401.8 - but the link here on forum is dead, so i decided to use newer 2.10.401.9 instead. I haven't found any bug yet. It seems to work fine.

2.10.401.9 contains a minor bugfix for the Russian region. I doubt that you will notice any significant difference compared to 2.10.401.8

[Q] Flashing Desire XS version 1.1, S-On

Hi,
I'm totally new in the rooting/customROM business. I want to flash the Desire XS version 1.1 on my desire s, since the 2.3.5 is a little old now...
I just chose this ROM, because it looked good, no idea... good choice?
I tried to avoid having to ask questions, but I reached a point where I can't get the Inforamtions just from reading anymore and am scared of causing irreperable damage to my phone.
I wanted to ask in the Desire XS version 1.1 directly, but wasn't allowed to.
Well I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
and unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev. I'm still on HBOOT 2.00.0002 and S-On
After having done this, I want FIRST do a full recovery of my system, to be able to go back to 2.3.5 if the new ROM doesn't work. Or is this not necessary?
Furthermore I don't want Reaper v2.1, but Desire XS version 1.1. So I downloaded this and copied on the SD. Now, I "have to copy boot.img into the folder where I have adb and fastboot ". But where can I find boot.img within the ROM? I found it 2 times in \Kernel\b2b and \Kernel\patched. Is one of them the right one?!
Also in the Desire XS version 1.1 thread it is says "I recommend that all users be on radio 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 before installing this rom"
But I couldn't find any information to switch to this specific radio (just others).
Some information on my phone:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2. 00. 0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot
Somewhere in the Desire XS-Thread I found this:

Yes, you have the last radio.
You are s-on, flash boot.img whit fastboot.

I'm sorry for opening a new thread, for the many questions and the long explanation, but I tried to make my problem as clear as possible and wasn't allowed to post in the developer's thread about radio and boot.img...
Thanks for the help!

While flashing the rom you have a choice of 2 kernels (b2b and patched). Use the boot.img of the kernel you will be choosing.
If you want to upgrade the radio (while still s-on) you need to relock your bootloader, flash the Ics RUU, unlock your bootloader again. (some users reported camera issues on desire xs with an older radio version, you could try it first with your current radio).

Thanks. I guess I'll take the b2b kernel then, since it's the one mentioned in the description. or is the other better?!
Also when flashed is there a way back to the version I have now?! (since you didn't answer my question regarding a recovery of the current system) Can I afterwards just recover via a RUU?!
I'm still scared of ending up with a broken phone

You can make a backup in recovery before flashing, just remember to flash the boot.img from your backup as well if you restore it.
The main difference is, the patched kernel supports overclocking and undervolting, the b2b doesn't.

but how can I do a recovery? My phone is not rooted yet and S-Off (it's just unlocked), is it possible to create a recovery like that?
edit: I found my exact system (2.10.166.3) on htcdev, I guess in the worst case I'll be able to get it back from there. I hope just hope for the best! =)

You have to flash the recovery.img in fastboot. (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
Them you can choose recovery from the bootloader.

it worked all good. New system is stable and fluent! lot's of fun, thanks!

[Q] Updating Hboot?

Ok so last time I flash Trickdroid I had problems with wifi not working (even after doing the WiFi fix) and some ppl mentioned i needed to downgrade the Hboot or wait for T-mobile JB update (thats how long ago it was), So now since the update is out do I need to Flash the RUU of T-mobile JB in order to update my Hboot or what exactly? My Vennom is acting up on me some times and i wana test some other ROMS
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Rereading it, it seems that you actually had an hboot that was newer and couldn't flash radios. S-OFF resolves this issue alone if you're not interested in getting the latest firmware update or if you already actually have it.
ORIGINAL POST:
I've heard you don't need to, but I did it and I'm very happy that I did. I think it helped improve my call quality greatly compared to my older 1.06 hboot. Just remember to S-OFF or else you'll have difficulties flashing kernels and radios later.
I was in a similar scenario and was using AOSP based roms until I decided to switch back to Sense and started using ViperOneS 2.2.0
Basically I this in order:
- SuperCID
- S-OFF
[Decided to switch back to Sense at this point]
- Backup SD card data [I forgot to do this, stupid me]
- Updated my hboot from 1.06 to 2.something latest from T-Mobile using instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250573
- Reunlocked my phone after upgrading the firmware [this wipes your SD card]
- Reflashed TWRP 2.3.3 (Sense installation compatible, check the rom's page)
- Flashed Viper 2.1
- Booted up
- Flashed Viper 2.2 OTA update rom
And started to like my phone again with Sense 4+ and Android 4.1.1
Best thing is that Wifi Tether works great with the 1.13 radio and Viper 2.2

[Q] Sailing for candyrom isle- check my checklist?

Current situation
4.2.2 sense 5.0
htcdev unlocked/rooted
s-on
hboot 2.19
radio 1.20.40d.00.22
os 1.32.1402.3
kernel 3.4.10
recovery cwm 6.0.3.6
horrible chinese carrier (are carriers ever good?)
here's what i think needs to be done
0. make a nandroid backup
1. Get s-off http://rumrunner.us/instructions/
2. Write supercid via adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573479 or http://androidforums.com/sensation-4g-all-things-root/636482-guide-how-supercid.html
3. update firmare via adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759131
5. update rom to stock with sense 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
6. flash candyrom http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-mini/orig-development/rom-t2825888
anything i've left out or can leave out? thanks in advance

Also is it worth switching to twrp? i figure it's unnecessary...
EDIT: gracious I'm confused. This (old) thread suggests s-off is unnecessary, though my understanding is that more recent roms incl. candyrom are likely to have issues without updating hboot, which requires s-off right?
