[Q] HTC Desire S: Can't install FOTA

Hi all. I'm pretty much a DIY girl, rooted my Android phone last year with Revolutionary, and made it S-ON again yesterday so I can apply the updates, which has been long delayed considering the ICS and latest Sense are here and I still got Gingerbread and sense 2.1. I'm not sure though if I was successful in unrooting my phone. Here's what comes up when I press and hold volume-down and power:
**** LOCKED ****

When I try to install the system update, it turns off the phone and bring me to the fastboot/hboot white screen (you know what I mean), and I don't know how to continue from there so I just reboot my phone and return to its old software. I even tried to factory reset it but the same thing happened (Oh no, even the factory reset doesn't work now!). How do I get past this?
Just to note, I tried to make a gold card and install 5 different RUU... I just get "ERROR 131 CUSTOMER ID ERROR".
Please help me. I will be SO grateful. Thank you!

Restore Rooted Phone

Hi all,
I have bought a HTC Desire S on Ebay and it came with ICS 4.03 and Sense 4.0A called Fallout Evolution V4.3.0.
I was under the impression this was an official release from HTC but after checking I discover it wasn't. The seller does know how to restore the phone but I got it for a great price so don't want to get a refund.
I'm not interested in putting custom stuff on my phone so would like to restore it to HTC official software. A friend told me to come on here and ask and to give the boot loader information..
Mine says:
***UNLOCKED***

If I click Recovery I get the HTC logo then a screen with "4EXT Recovery v2.2.7 RC5"
Can someone please help me restore my phone as I have found the original Android I need:
"RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.rar"
But don't want to run the file untill I've done whats needed to prevent my phone for becoming a brick.
Thanks

Please read the front page and look for a thread with title that matches what you want to do. Read it, and read the other thread on or near the front page it's pointing to. You can also read the sticky guide it's pointing to, referenced in sticky INDEX thread.
And after you find the answer to your question in such close proximity, please consider searching before posting next time.

Ypu can use my method. Check my sig on downgrading. Download the RUU that is best for your phone. You should ask from the seller if the phone is branded or not. Everything you need is in the forum. Just use search.

Skanob do I follow all you guide or just the final bit Locking the bootloader & Downgrading? or do I start at Modifying the version of your phone?
The only reason I ask is my friends unrooted phone says
***LOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT- 2.00.0002
and mine says UNLOCKED. Also your guide says goto htcdev.com/bootloader and when I do it says Unlocking your bootloader which I assume has been done already?
Or is there a way to install the HTC RUU on my so it runs like a custom ROM? all I want it the official HTC software I've no warranty issues to worry about?
Sorry for what may seen as stupid questions but I'm not very technical and never messed with phones before, just trying to sort it.

Yours is already unlocked and with custom recovery and rom. Im pretty sure the rom is already rooted. You just need to find out if your mmc is a goldcard. Then download the correct ruu. Start from changing misc verson.

[Q] Bricked my One X, really need help of a wiser people. Please

I've been following xda for a while now, but this is my first post so please take it easy on me, if I posted this in the wrong thread.
I am not new to rooting and costom roms. I have successfully rooted one phone before and I used it for a more than a year, didn't have any problems at all. Yesterday I got myself HTC One X and today I tried to root it and somehow got myself stucked/bricked.
The phone is stuck on HTC Quietly brilliant screen. I can get into bootloader, but thats it. What can I do? I already tried to flash back the original ROM, but couldn't get device to connect to PC. I looked all over the forum and googled it and still can't seem to find the solution. Any help would be highly apprechiated.

[Q] HTC One - Return to stock Help!

Hi All,
I'm a novice when it comes to Android so I really need all the help I can get. Thanks in advance to all contributions.
So I had a HTC One that was on firmware 4.2.2 Maximus HD firmware, rooted, and bootloader unlocked.
I attempted to return it back to the same state as it was when I first got the phone.
The phone was from O2 UK originally.
I attempted to follow some guides online, and managed to unroot my phone, and lock my bootloader, and using this RUU
RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4
I managed to return to stock... only problem is,I then attempted to get an OTA update and nothing showed up
I then read somewhere that I needed to change my CID which I then changed from HTC__001 to O2___001
but still no luck, no OTA detected.
I then found something online called Guru resets from htc1guru.com so I unlocked my bootloader again.
As it stands, the bootloader is showing this information:
**** Unlocked ****
M7_UL PVT Ship S-OFF RH
CID-02___001
HBOOT-1.43.0000
Radio-4A.13.3227.06
OpenDSP-v.26.120.274.0202
eMMC-boot
Feb 7 2013, 21.52.09:-1
After unlocking the bootloader, I came to the realisation that I have no idea what im doing
So I decided to come here. Please help me...
