So yea... Have a sensation tied to "3" UK provider. So i thought i just take it, unlock it, put 4eXT into it, flash something else and done... Well... NOT... It didn't worked out. Just later i imagined that it needs s-off too which requires "Juopunutbear" which requires stock rooted rom in the phone which is working... so now i am not able to flash anything which works because i tried to do this already with a device not being prepared and when i am trying to put in to it an original RUU it does not work too because probably i can't downgrade without s-off and it says that i am "upgrading" from 3.32 to 1.34 and after an attempt and failure it gives the advice to find a proper update suite or smth.
only one ruu i found found for my CID was RUU Pyramid H3G UK 1.34.771.1 R Radio 10.43a.9007.00U 10.51.9007.27 M3 release 197065 signed.exe
what do i do now?
any advice apriciated!
check the guide "flashing roms with SOn" by asskickar in sensation general section ..and follow the steps carefully and flash the rom (particularly check step #2 and step #3 ..if those two failed check extra step #1)

Hi guys,
I am new here, so maybe I missed something.
Anyway, I followed the tutorial step-by-step to unlock my HTC Desire S which I got today (so it has a 2.x bootloader) like stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
But I can't seem to install any RUU cause of "Error 131", as told in the tutorial, I must use the RUU for my specific region.
So, my Region is Germany and my phone is from o2.
So first I used
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because Germany is in Europe. And the only GER RUU is from "TMO" which may mean "T-Mobile" I guess. But it didn't work.
Next I thought "**** that ****" and I tried to flash (after repeating all tutorial steps):
RUU_Saga_TMO_DE_1.30.111.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_178580_signed.exe

But it still shows up "Error 131"... so now I am depressed. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you very much

Hi there,
You need to flash the RUU that is supported by your phone's version.
Turn the phone into fastboot mode (voldown + power), click fastboot, wait till it shows fastboot usb.
Open console in PC and find the android tools, type:
<androidtool dir>\ fastboot getvar all
It should come up as: INFOversion etc.
What you need to look for is INFOversion-main and INFOcidnum
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
and download the RUU that matches!
If you've S-OFF'd the phone with Revolutionary, then RUU will have some problems with overwriting the bootloader, follow this guide to re S-ON.

Very helpful reply buddy.
But i don't think the last line applies to him. He said he just got the phone, and it had the v2.xxx hboot to begin with, so he went looking to downgrade. If he had acheived S-off, he wouldn't be asking how to S-off in the first place.
@OP : You should try using a Goldcard when faced with a difficult choice of Region-specific RUUs. Try making one (Use Search function) and then re-running the European RUU. (You may also have to check your Misc_version to ensure compatibility, or you may hit a roadblock again.
Hi,
I just wanted to confirm for further searches / use that what has been stated inside the first answer is fully working.
I got my Desire S downgraded, S-OFFed and was able to flash MIUI, so it's finding it's way to my girlfriend as birthday present soon thank you for helping.
Hey Guys,
i really hope you can help me.
the desire S from Girlfriend want to send it back to repair (buttons wont work after an month...)
and wanted to S-ON / Stock Rom.
i tried to flash Hboot 2.00.2002 back from an "how to" and installing the Stock Rom from an RUU.
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
Updating from:
2.10.401.9
to
2.10.401.9
Wont work, it Says: wrong User Ident (Error:131)
i got Hboot 98.0000 on it & S-ON
cant reflash an recovery via fastboot... wrongt signature :/
what i have to do now?
thank you all,
regards geri
this like other subjects has been discussed over and over again.
1. I think there are some problems with the **401.9 RUU, i never managed to flash it.
2. First of all try to find your CID number to find the appropiate RUU.
3. If you don't find a suitable RUU, just make a GOLD CARD and flash any RUU, i recommend ***401.8 WWE
4. The quickest, better solution for you is the search button.
Good luck!
hey if you have bricked that phone ,
i suggest you to go to the nearest htc service center and pay the money
and they will be solve your problem.
because no more experiment on other's phone.
OK.
hello friends..
i have my htc desire s and i have recently official ota updated on android 2.3.5
i used it but i don't like this ...
its working slowly...
and its take much time to bootup...
and i would like to back to android 2.3.3...
so can any one help me???
you will have to go through this guide to change your misc ver number
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
and for that i believe you have to unlock your device folloving htcdev.com guide
and after taht you will be able to install older RUU with htc sense you want
i did that just follow the guide and read closely and it will be fine
always ask before doing
No need to HTCDev unlock. You can gain temp root by Zergrush. Temp root is all you need for misc_version change.
hello,
thanks for reply ..
but your guide thread said it is works for software version 2.11 or above and it
is not work for software version 2.10 or below...
but my software version is 2.10.401.8
so please tell me which method is working for me...
and in this thread "Run terminal"
what is that where i can found it....
your OP thread title could have been far more informative....
Try this one if the one in post #2 doesn't work for you..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331
Alternatively, just unlock with HTCDev, but HTC would know that you have unlocked the device, and voiding the warranty even if you go back to unrooted state..
I used Skanob's way of downgrading to stock 2.3.3.. Remember you need to get the correct RUU version to do this.. Follow the steps carefully..
or, why not try to contact HTC and ask to downgrade that for you?
Do I need a new mobile? A question that I often imagine in the last days... What's the situation?
Here are the base informations of my HTC One S:
Original CID: O2___102
Actual CID: 11111111
Boootloader informations:
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.13.0000
RADIO-1.11.50.05.28
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

The story
What happens. Because of the license mess with CyanogenMod I've tried different ROM's but all in all there where always a reason to change the ROM. After all I want to give Carbon a try but for this you have to upgrade the firmware and so the mess starts.
In fact o2 Germany is not able to deliver a proper RUU I've changed the CID to SuperCID (11111111) and tried to install the RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4. This and all my other installations of different RUU's breaks with a signature error. Next step was to change the CID to HTC__102 but this didn't help anything.
Now I was thinking to go back to the root and install the first custom ROM I've used. So I want to give ViperROM a try. With this it was not able to get the WiFi up and running. Next step was to give TrickDroid 10 and ZenROM a chance. There was no problem with the installation and both of them where running. The problems here are that both of them are far away from a daily driver.
Today I saw that there are again official CyanogenMod nightlies and so I've thought to install the base ROM of so many custom ROM's. This installation breaks with the error message: "failed : getprop("ro.bootloader") == 2.15.000" So It seems that the newest bootloader is a basic requirement. The problem is now that I'm unable to get the newest hboot because of the RUU signature problem.
I don't know what to do anymore. RUU update does not working. S-OFF does not working. The firmware upgrade is not working. Do I have to use the One S as a paperweight?
So .. I'm really grateful and happy about every hint, every tip or solution.
Thanks a lot
Christian
Why is S-OFF not working and why did you changed your CID back to stock? You have to get S-OFF and SuperCID so follow this guide. Report back at which step you fail

Good morning,
sorry for my late response. I was so frustrated that I went off yesterday evening.
I've tried different things with the CID:
changed the O2___102 to 11111111
changed the 11111111 to HTC__102
rollback to 11111111
The reason was that I had found the RUU instructions which stated that there could be potential problems with RUU installations and SuperCID.
Based on this thread the S-Off always stops at step 5. I get an error message that says: "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)". I've already tried the different things. Switch off the phone, switch off the computer, useing the original HTC USB cable and so on. Nothing worked here.
Thanks a lot
Christian
Try updating the HTC drivers on your PC then try again. There's a thread somewhere around the One S forums.
After the soff, supercid is not needed anymore.
Have you tried o2 ruus from a different country?
Btw is the ruu erroring because of your MID? Whats yours? Pj4010000?
Sometimes if a ruu errors, directly retrying sometimes works.

YES! It's again up and running
After some days of troubleshooting my One S ist up and running again
First was the tip of djsubtronic. I've checked the drivers on my PC. But I've already installed the latest one. Then I've made a clean, fresh new installation on my notebook. But nothing changed.
Then I've tried some other RUU's. But there where always the same error. So... after all I was already looking for a new mobile device and then I've made a final attempt.
Cleaned storage from bootloader
Reset from bootloader
Installed TWRP recovery (2.5.0.0)
Format the sdcard from Windows
Nothing left on the sdcard
System reset from TWRP
System wipe from TWRP
Followed step by step and extreme exactly the instructions of the firmware update thread
The second try to manual update the hboot then was succsessful
After that I was able to install the latest CyanogenMod nightly
Thanks a lot for every tip. They took me to re-read everything again and then start again from scratch. After all I'm already S-On. I'm happy that my phone is running again, I just do not quite trust myself to tackle the topic...
Thanks again...
Christian
Nice to hear you have your phone up and running again.
I want to ask something.
I too, don't have JB RUU for my carrier of the device.
So will S-off and subsequently changing CID to something which has an RUU help? Will that RUU work?
My basic purpose is to go fully stock.

Hi, if I understand this correct than yes. If you change the CID to a "non branded" CID. (SuperCID - 111111 or HTC - HTC__102) you should be able to install other RUU's for your device. I don't know why this didn't work for me but for normal this should work.

From what i have read and understood, yours must be a problem of MID. This is another requirement in addition to CID.

So I'm a first time flasher and i've done my thorough reading and research.
I have an at&t HTC one X, but i'm using it in India.
I was flashing it to CM11 Snapshot, for which i have unlocked bootloader from HTCdev, i already had S-Off and CID-11111111 (no idea why... and can someone explain what is supercid btw ?)
Also installed twrp and its inbuilt supersu. I verified full root access with root checker.
Right when i was ready to finally flash the CM11, i get an error message saying that i have hboot 1.14 and that i need a higher one (1.19 i think... dont remember)
Ive checked for the solution, it seems that i need to install the 3.18 RUU to update hboot to 2.14. However, its not available on the following link, So i guess i shud get the next available RUU, which is 5.18.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119610)
I also read that i cant root 5.18, unless im already rooted. So i dont have to worry about this right ? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952038&page=58)
2 questions here,
Will it matter if i get 5.18 instead of 3.18 ? Plus, the 5.18 ruu is an exe file, not zip... is the flashing procedure different ?
I dont want to update the entire RUU, i just want to update my hboot. Is it possible ? If yes, how ?
I read that rooting is different for 3.18 than my current 2.20 firmware. I dont understand that either :/
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 )
And i need to toggle my bootlock ?
( http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/74576-only-support-214-hboot/ )
Thats probably a lot of questions. But im really trying to understand this right. Basically what i wanna know is, what exactly do i do next to simply update my hboot safely, and then cm11.

First of all, I'm not familiar with your device.
As you found already the specific forum for your device, please ask in the AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL > One X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [Q&A]{Evita/One XL} Noob Friendly Q&A + General Help - Ask Any Question! thread.
There you will surely get quick and proper help.
