Has some one met this before? I was trying to downgrade the hboot version and met the error appeared "hboot version is older". My phone is s-on. now the hboot version is 1.27.0000.
My phone was s-off before, one day I upgrade the firmware to 1.27, in order to flash the ICS 4.0.3, after that, I've try to lock back the phone, the command is " fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" and then s-off was changed to s-on, and the hboot version freezed at 1.27.
But now I am trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.18 or older version, but it couldn't crossed the hboot checking.
My phone is HTC_044, I am using Asia WWE RUU to downgrade.
can some one let me kown is there any good way to s-off again?
Appreciated if you can help me resolve this.

You won't be able to change firmware with s-on.
Have a look at this thread for guidelines to return to s-off.

As long as you are S-ON you cant downgrade HBOOT any way...not even by running a RUU
as you are 1.27 HBOOT....you can try JB SOFF noob proof guide here
then once you obtain SOFF you can run any RUU
Also for running RUU ...your cid should match the RUU's otherwise RUU will fail
if you are superCID and SON then any ICS RUU runs
or
if you are superCID and SOFF then ANY RUU will run for you

use JB soff and then you can downgrade you hboot by flashing 1.18 firmware

what does superCID gives me?

what do you get when you are superCID and s-on?
also i wanted to ask a question:
if a flash an ruu will it change the hboot version?
and if it does so how can i downgrade the hboot to flash my stock ruu?

supercid gives you the ability to use any ruu as long as it has the same hboot version or higher
and yes if you use a higher version ruu than your current hboot, it will be upgraded
to downgrade hboot there is a tutorial in the dev section that involves ubuntu

[Q] Cannot RUU running 1.73 with hboot 2.14

How can this be possible? I'm running 1.73 but my hboot says 2.14. I tried using the 3.18 RUU to update to Jelly Bean but got an image error (158) then I tried to run the 2.20 RUU but I get a bootloader error (140). I understand hboot 2.14 is from 3.18 but I'm running 1.73, how can It be? Is there anything I can do to update my phone to Jelly Bean? Please help. Thank you.
