[Q] [Desire S] Revolutionary, S-OFF, need to update

Hey all. I posted this in the wrong forum by accident, so reposting here. Also, this may have been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find a thread quite like it!
I am currently running Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 on my HTC Desire S. I have used the Revolutionary method to S-OFF and root the phone, which allowed me to uninstall branded bloatware and add some interesting apps.
I have not been able to update the phone as quite frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, and the OTA update will brick the phone. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get the latest version of Android and HTC Sense?
I'm in the UK on the Three network. After doing an extensive search for the specific RUU matching that, I can't seem to find it unfortunately.
Many thanks for your time.

I'd suggest you just flash a custom sense rom from dev section, which is very easy to do. and a lot of those are better than the HTC ICS rom
If you really want to go back to stock HTC, follow this video guide, check video description for links

You can find 3 branded RUU here, at the bottom of the list

Ahhh thanks so much for that list! There was a forum post I found with details on how to unroot, but all the links to the RUUs were dead. Does it matter which RUU I use so long as it's meant for the UK? I can't seem to find the one for Three network, unless it's under "H3G_UK"...

Is your phone branded? If not, just use the Europe ruu

Well it has a Three network splash screen and sadly it's still locked to the network, but other than that I don't think so

Yes that's the one

I'm very sorry to have to bump this, but I followed the instructions that I was given and ended up with the infamous Error [140].
While fastbooting, I now have:
***Security Warning***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.98.0000
RADIO-38.03.02.14_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011,14:58:38
And when I try to use the OTA update, it goes straight into this Fastboot screen. I literally have no idea what's going on now.

you must install the original RUU, which will remove all your data and install original ROM Android 2.3.3, recovery, hboot and radio
i suggest RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed-ORIGINAL.exe from here http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/?developer=Saga
or you can put this zip on your sd card, and install it from bootloader: http://dfiles.eu/files/bh4avk6uz (easier method)

Thank you for your link and RUU file. I tried running the Europe RUU.exe, but came up with "Error 131: Customer ID error". Still the same information in the bootloader as before though.

Sorry to bump this again, does anyone have a fix?
Or would it be easier to root and s-off once more then flash a rom that was similar to stock?

probably be easier to s-off and flash ice cold, it's the closest to stock with none of the bugs of stock

[Q/Help]Boot loops on various ROMS

Hi Guys (long time listener first time caller etc etc)
I finally got the courage to install a custom rom on to my HTC One XL (Telstra). After unlocking it installing the custom bootloader (2.5.0.0 TW) I have tried to install some roms and get no where with a few of them and boot loops if they actually install.
The two I can get to install but boot loop are ViperXL and cyanogenmod 10.0.
I am thinking I am doing something really simple wrong, but have tried a lot of things but no luck.
Details below; If there is anything else which might shed some light please let me know.

Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance, Jase

oh, I did install all of Telstra's updates prior to starting. The last one brought android up to 4.1.2 I think.

Welcome mate.
Couple of things...
The HBoot version you have won't allow you to update the boot.img of the rom your flashing as part of rom installation. You have 2 options - first is to s-off which pretty much lets you do whatever you like. Check in the original development thread for how to s-off if you're interested.
The second option is to flash (install) the boot.img in bootloader mode.
You can do that either before or after you flash the rom. Before I was s-off I did it both before and after.....
There's a few ways to do it including using adb or some apps will do it automatically for you. Take a look here for one example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870455
And the second thing - good idea to post questions in the Q&A thread. More people look through there so you'll get your answer faster.

Get rid of twrp5.0, had the same issue, flaahed back to 2.3.3.1 and all is good...

Thanks guys. I did the fastboot flash boot and it all came good.
Appreciate the help!

[Completed] [Q] Can not get past Fastbootafter attemptig to get back to stock

IAfter Rooting, S-Offing and installing the Viper ROM, I could not get Wifi to turn on due to a firmware issue. After countless failed attemts to get it to the current version, I decided to move back to stock.
Now, I am inable to get out of Fastboot. When I tried to flash a new ROM, I get the messgae that adb can not see my device. I have no idea what to do, please help.
On top of the astboot screen, it says:

PLEASE help, I' scared!! Thanks in advance

Hi,
I need to know your device make and model number to point you towards help.
Thanks!

Geeze, I'm sorry.
I am using an HTC One m8 with at&t. I'm not sure how to get the model number.
Also, I must have erased TWRP somehow, because when I select recovery from the Fastboot window, it brings me back to the same place.

You are s-off and super CID, easy to fix...
Here's a guide on updating firmware,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
And you can also flash recovery with fastboot again, same as you did the first time, then put a rom on an external sd card using another device, and flash it on your device from recovery from the sd card.
If you need help on those things, or want other ideas... The place to ask questions about your device is here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-thread-htc-one-m8-questions-t2897783
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll gove it a try tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
I seriosely can't thank you enough for responding.

That did the trick! You're a life saver, I have no idea how I missed that.
One last question. Now that Firmware is update, it looks like I'm using the google ROM. Can I change it back to Venom i I prefer?

That question should probably be asked in the thread I linked 2nd. I've never converted mine to GPE, or back. ?

You're right, sorry about that.
Seriously, I have no idea how I missed that article but THANK YOU!!!! You quite literally saved my job (conference calls I needed to be on).

[Completed] [Q] HTC One m7 - continue reboot in recovery

Hello,
I'm new in this forum and I'm also new in the developing area, so I would like to start my thread saying "thank you" to you all.
The problem started when I had the brillant idea to try to puton my phone a different rom. So I searched on the web and I found very detailled posts which explained the whole procedure. There were difficult terms, but I thought that if I followed the instructions, everything would have be fine. And I was terribly wrong.
So, I've unlocked the phone, then tried to root, but then the phone says there were some "system upgrades" so I decided to get back to the factory settings (because I couldn't upgrade).
This brought me to the real problem: My phone continue to reboot (I can see only the green "HTC" mark and then it reboots).
I've tried to do the factory reset, but nothing.
then, I installed the clockworkMod, but nothing happened (I mean, I can enter in recovery, but apparently I don't have data on my phone).
If this can help, sometimes appear on the screen a phone with a red triangle and a "!".
I know that many of these topics are very common, but believe me I have like 20+ windows open and this confuse me much more.
Hope you guys can help me.
Gabriele
---edit---
I copy what is written now on my phone, so this can help

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. I can see that you've also created an identical thread here in the HTC One device forum. That's the perfect place to be asking your question as it'll reach those who are most familiar with your device. So creating another thread here was unnecessary, because all we'd be doing is moving this thread to be appropriate forum (where you already have the other thread). Also, please refer to the XDA Forum Rules for information regarding the creation of duplicate posts/threads. So we'll close this thread and let the good people of the One forum help you out in the other one.
Good luck!
