[Q] how to downgrade hboot from 7 to 6.98

I have a Htc desire s and I have upgrated the hboot to 7 (ship) and now I want to install a ruu, how can I downgrade hboot?

Why would hboot 6.98 be better for flashing an ruu?

you can't flash the RUU you want cause in that case it probably won't work, you have to make sure that the RUU that you are going to flash has the same software version of your current main version.... if you follow this you will successfully install the RUU :good:

To flash ruu from any region you have to be s-off and Super cid as far as I know.

I'm sorry mate. Not true
You will need s-off if you want to downgrade the software or use ruu from another region.
But as long as it the right ruu for your phone it won't cause problems

Sorry for the late response :
No
See your phone's software info. Check if it matches the ruu you want to use

Hi,
If you s-off,you might consider SuperCID as well.
Then, you can flash ANY RUU you like .

did anyone managed to get s-off with hb 1.15 and 316.401.9

Did anyone managed to get s-off with the hb 2.15 and 3.16.401.9
and how did you do that.

I had the same problem. I just ran an older jelly bean ruu, followed the facepalm steps and it worked. I have a german HTC one s the cid was HTC_102. I hope this helps.

Downgrade on T-MOB009 CID to get superCID or WWE CID

Hi guys. Is it possible for my situation to get CID like HTC__203 or something like that? My current setup is:
HBOOT 2.0, moonshine S-OFF and I'm currently running Odexed flashable Android 4.2.2 (so not from OTA) with upgraded radio partition from OTA update (flashed manually).
Anything possible at this stage?

I think you can use this guide for you too.
But i would not use HTC__203 because i have not heard that the OTA is rolling in france.
Use HTC__001 or in best case 11111111 for SuperCID.

Why I have cid wwe_001 but didn't received any notify?

But first I need to downgrade, because I need HBOOT 1.00, don't I?

I don't think so.
With S-Off you should be able to do.
Its only mentioned in this guide, because moonshine S-Off was not released at this point.
At this time the only chance to do, was under ICS.

On the little off-topic - which HEX-Editor would be safe to use? Or maybe - which one did you used for changing CID?

I used HxD with success and i would recommend it!

I hope it too. I'm now about to flash stock from here and stock files from here. I think it'll be enough for getting an update?

I guess if somebody want receive jb OTA notification, you may change your CID to these number before RUU.
The screen shows by [HTC One SV][ROM] Jelly Bean Stock Odexed k2_u & k2_ul (cwm flashable) thanks old.splatterhand.

you can use revolutionary.io method to S-OFF but AFAIK the site is now down
youR only way is to upgrade officially to ics and then use rumrunner method to S-OFF

how can i upgrade offically .... ive tried to find a rom that fits that CID but no luck ..

i can tell you only this
relock the bootloader and flash the gb ruu.exe for your cid
then upgrade officially
then go for S-OFF procedure
