Hi,
I have a question about reverting back to stock JellyBean 4.1 on a Rogers device. I have tried previous Rogers RUUs and they all fail to install. They fail at the loading hboot portion. I believe I have to revert back to an earlier hboot to flash an earlier Rogers RUU, am I correct? I would like to just install the current RUU but no one seems to have the current one, even AndroidFiles doesn't. They only have an OTA version (OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_Rogers_WWE_3.16.631.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301897nn5lu23br8cg9q7l.zip)
Is there any way I can install the OTA version to get me back to stock or do I have to wait for the RUU to be released? I'm pretty happy using TrickDroid firmware on it but there are still a few bugs and I wanted to go back to stock. Unfortunately I don't have any backup, I got a deal on this phone because the previous owner bricked it and couldn't figure out how to get it working again. It took me many hours but with guidance of these forums, and elsewhere, I was able to get custom firmware on it thankfully! This is my first HTC device and I find them much harder to root/unlock/flash than my previous Samsungs.
S-OFF and supercid and you can run any ruu

and after s-offing supercid and ruu dont forget to revert your cid to the old one before applying an ota.
applying otas with supercid may cause bricks

Hi,
I'm running ViperOneS 2.2.0 (Android 4.1.1) and still having the helicopter-glitch. So I contacted HTC support and they told me I should backup all my data and do a hardreset. Will my phone be OK after running the hardreset? Because of custom ROM? I've unlocked via HTCDev and I'm running CWM recovery. Do you think this will fix the issue? Sending it in for repair could end up expensive, because of unlock. Or are there any other ideas for fixing it?

Sorry I didn't use the helicopter-thread but this does not directly concern the issue itself...
no proper fix till now! we are stuck with it
Seriously HTC!? -.-
Chances for a fix with hardreset? none?

Doubt it. You could try running an ruu, but other than that...???

But whats the difference between RUU with Android 4.1.1 and ViperOneS also running 4.1.1? HTC said the fix was added in Jelly Bean?
RUU , will flash new versions of bootloader , radio etc . The rom is just the system partition , I recommend you to RUU the device then restore your ViperROM
Ruu is like a fresh wipe/reset/clean. Wipe everything and re flash all partitions.

Ok thanks, I'll give that a try. Can someone please post how I exactly do that? First time to flash RUU... Found this: http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html Will that work? And where can I get the RUU I need? It says I should go S-OFF to use any one I want... My phone came with german T-Mobile ROM. And using CWM isn't a problem, right?
I kinda destroyed my one S, fell out of a truck bed on the highway.....anyways, i just received my new one s thru ups which came preloaded with the JB OTA update direct from TMOUSA. I proceeded to root and gain supercid and s-off but had no success in acheiving s-off or supercid.........all of my back ups and settings and data are for cm10.1 and I am unable to gain full root, I've Ben able to flash CWM and have root permissions but I am unable to flash cm10.1 or any other Roms. Also, I am unable to delete bloatware on the stock Rom using my paid version of titanium back up. Says the uninstall is finished but the bloatware still remains after multiple attempts and re boots.
Has there Ben any progress on overcoming this pesky supercid and s-off lockdown on the JB OTA? Not asking for an ETA, I just haven't Ben able to find anything related to the subject other than "your screwed if you updated to JB thru OTA."
THANKS IN ADVANCED FOR THE HELP AND INFO.

Are you fastbooting the boot.img for these roms you are trying to flash? You need to pull it from the ROM zip or it won't boot, same for your nandroids.
Your issue with the bloatware on stock is caused by write protection in the stock boot.img. So flash a custom one.

Hello again,
I am attempting to get my phone fully updated and had a few questions regarding the update process.
These are the things that I need done to my phone in order to use $droyd$ cm10.1 instead of the downward slope "official"
SuperCID 1111111
Kernel 3.14 through RUU
S-OFF
It is my understanding that SuperCID is required to S-Off so that order is apparent, but the RUU update and anything else I may be missing I am unsure of.
I am running a TMOUS Ville (S4)
HBOOT 1.09
TWRP v2.4.2
I dont really care about the contents of the phone as its all either cloud based or backed up already.
What is the best course to take to do all that I need?
Am I missing anything vital to this process?
Also, this is the RUU I found doing a search, can someone verify this is the correct/most recent RUU I need :link:
Thanks for any help. Cheers

You don't need ruu to soff
Just super cid, then soff

He (apparently) needs to install a RUU to get the latest updates over OTA - otherwise the new 3.4 kernel for AOSP roms won't work (very well).
I'm trying the same thing, (hboot 1.06, s-on, unlocked, TWRP) but i'm pretty confused right now...
1. do i need s-off / stock recovery / something other to install a RUU exe?
2. if i successfully installed a RUU, should i update via OTA? or is it enough to install the latest RUU exe to get the firmware required for the 3.4 kernel?
3. some people mentioned big problems after the OTA update if you have super cid / s-off...... BUT
4. some people mentioned you can't get s-off AFTER you install the latest OTA update
so do we have the choice between not using the 3.4 kernel and not having s-on (therefore having to flashboot boot.img everytime), or am i missing something?
If wont to flash ONLY RUU, just install stock recovery.
If you want to get OTA, chanche super-CID to normal , 'coz YOU CAN FINISH WITH BRICK!!

Tried this method for Super CID - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
When I try to dump the partition onto the SDcard, I get "Permission Denied"
I can't wipe the stock rom with TWRP or with Superwipe.
I just got a new phone under warranty exchange and realized that it is running 4.1.1. I'm not a noob but definitely feel like one. I tried searching the boards and all I can come up with is that maybe this can't Super CID yet. Is that true or am I missing a step for this newer build? Is there some other way to flash a ROM with S-ON and no Super CID? Any assistance would be appreciated.
You can flash whatever ROM you want without soff...just need to fastboot the boot.img.
For super cid, start on step 2 of that link using terminal emulator right on your phone.
Also, use twrp 2.3.3 or 2.2.2, people have been having issues with higher versions Or you can use cwm.

Attempted, was able to pull the mmcblk0p4 file, changed in HEX editor...instead of appearing as CWS__001 as the line to change, mine says T-MOB010 before my IMEI number. I changed it to 11111111, pushed the file and when I "fastboot oem readcid" it still reads T-MOB010. Tried in on the desktop and terminal emulator a couple of times. I just can't get the CID to stick!!!
Any other recommendations? I changed from TWRP to CWM 6.0.3.1 touch. I doubt the recovery has anything to do with it. Fully rooted...stuck on S-ON until I can figure out why I can't Super CID. MUST FLASH CUSTOM ROM!
i have this same problem. did you ever get it fixed? my Super CID wont stick

I gave up for a little bit. I achieved s-off with moonshine but have yet to attempt again. I'm on vacation in two weeks and will devote a full day to it then.

If you have s-off, you don't need this. All you need to do is fastboot oem write cid 11111111

And what if we have S-On? I have S-On and can't get s-off because (I think) my hboot is causing USB connectivity problems when booted into the OS. I cannot get SuperCID to stick.

Can't Supercid with HBOOT 2.15.
It's vacation time, so I'm trying again. About to switch to an older recovery and just start messing around and seeing what kind of damage I can do...
FIXED
I wasn't able to flash TWRP to 2.3.3.0 so I just updated to the newest version 2.6.0.0.
I was finally able to wipe the system and data and everything and flash a fresh new rom.
TOOK LONG ENOUGH!!
Thanks to this forum!!!
If you are S=ON then you can not get scid with 2.15. The only (known to this time) way to get the s=off is moonshine script and then you can write the scid.
Yes you can. At least some of us. I am on 2.15 and used facepalm to get s-off, and that requires scid first.

Did you have any issues with moonshine? Tried doing this last night and it hangs on "Test 3" forever. I know it says not to touch your phone but after watching 2 shows on TV had to stop. Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
Solved
So I followed someone else's directions and installed LinuxMint on a USB and was able to successfully run moonshine. I'm not S-OFF!

If it works in windows moonshine I did this tutorial but in spanish to help all who have problems to make the soff

I can't get a valid rom into my phone, and it currently has no ROM, but can get to boot loader, and fastboot. Please help me get it usable again.
I went to obtain S-Off on my One S (older phone, got it before the S-Off was available). aka, I was getting real tired of flashing CM Roms and having to use Fastboot to flash boot.img.
I selected the moonshine S-Off tool, and reviewed the directions.
Directions said you need stock, so I re-locked the boot loader, grabbed the Telus RUU.zip and tried to flash the phone to stock using Hansoon's All-in-one kit v4.0 for the One S. It came back and said: "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)"
The RUU filename is: OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TELUS_WWE_3.16.661.4_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_307532nohrvy5j6i2o2i8i.zip
At this point I still had TWRP installed, so I tried to unlock and restore CyanogenMod from a nandroid backup to no avail. It said it couldn't mount several partitions.
Per another thread about that specific error I, flashed the recovery.img from the ruu zip file (it was already unlocked from the last step), relocked and retried. Got the same error.
I've attached a screenshot of the fastboot screen hoping that will provide useful info.
Any help is appreciated, and I'm happy to provide more info as needed as well.
That is not an ruu, it's an OTA.

Thanks for the clarification. The .exe version returned an "unknown error" ... I missed that step in the description above. The RUU filename was: RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe, and was flashed with the device re-locked.

I think your going about this all wrong. First, you are on a low enough firmware for facepalm s-off. Moonshine cannot even be run with your firmware even if you upgraded it.
What you need to do is super cid, then use facepalm s-off method.

Ok, I'll do that. Do you have a link to a recommended SuperCID method? Normally I'd search and pick one, but I've well... not had the best weekend at that.
Also, once I've got it S-Off, then I can install an RUU or OTA of choice without issue?

There only is one. It's in the one s dev section titled "Super CID 11111111" and I'm sure they linked to it from the facepalm thread as it is a prerequisite.
