I have been running custom android roms for about 2 months. I rooted when i was running 3.32 firmware on my sensation but it didnt s-off. and i learnt about JB-wiretrick which offcourse doesn't work. my sensation is also not supercid.
Anyways i just want to s-off and upgrade to 3.33 firmware.
I have heard that firmware upgrade simply isnt possible while s-on.
I want to downgrade to 1.17 and use revolutionery method to s-off.
will it be possible ?
Guys and Devs i really need your help

Firmware UPGRADE is possible on SON, just flash 3.33.x RUU. However firmware DOWNGRADE can only be done on S-OFF so the only way to S-OFF 3.xx firmware is JB wire trick which works as long as you get the timing right so you may need to attempt it several times before success
someone told me otherwise

Actually Kohr-Ah, the man behind user freindly firmware told me that firmware upgrade will fail on device with S-ON. and i also didnt risk because i thought it will brick my device
Have you tried it on S-ON device ?

If you do as I told you to and flash a 3.33.x RUU, the firmware will be upgraded. what kohr-ah meant is that you cant flash a PG58IMG firmware file while S-ON but I know for a fact S-ON users can flash RUU

Thanks alot JONNY for your continued support :good:
I am downloading 3.33.x ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
However thread says to install firmware located http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
It means i shall still have to flash file PG58IMG.
Should i proceed with both steps
Neither of those is an RUU so wont work. This thread is maintained by Football and contains all RUU's available for HTC Sensation/XE/4G. Just download the 3.33.401.6 RUU exe file and run from a windows pc

but i am concerned with the doubt that will the ruu will work 100% on supercid 111111 without any problem after relocking the bootloder or do i have to revert back the stock at&t cid, and if yes then what is the procedure to revert back the stock at&t cid???????
If you ever want to unlock the bootloader again leave the cid alone. BTW you can just flash the radio from the new ota if you want. There's a thread in development section with radios

thanks for the help,appreciable. But i don't want to flash just the radio, coz i already did that, but it did not solve my problem. So the question still continues..Can i run Ruu with the current supercid 111111 or do i have to revert it back to stock???

You don't have to change cid to flash the ruu just relock the bootloader

your question has been answered multiple times.
SuperCID will allow you to run the 2.20 RUU. The reason we're cautioning you is because once you do that, you will lose the ability to flash new radios at all and you'll have to flash a kernel in fast boot.
Also once you do this update to 2.20 you can't go backward to 1.85 even WITH SuperCID because the update includes a new HBOOT.

ok what will happen if i extract the rom.zip from the ruu and will extract and replace the hboot with earlier one and also the recovery with custom one and will rezip it and rename it as PJ83.img and will copy it to storage and run it in the current boot loader. will relock it before running the process.
Will this work and will i b able to flash the stock rom with same boot loader and custom recovery?
I AM AWARE INSTEAD OF DOING THIS I CAN JUST FLASH THE STOCK ROOTED 2.20 ROM FROM TWRP BUT I JUST WANT TO INCREASE MY TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND WORK.

won't work because RUU's include a signature check and if you alter the files in any way, that signature check will fail.

I would suggest you S-Off your device. After that you can flash any hboot you want. Altho you probably won't need to anymore, since on S-Off you can flash radio firmware regardless of hboot version.

I posted up a bunch of flashable hboots here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39216236#post39216236
But once you're S-Off, you may not need to downgrade hboot anymore, because the restrictions from higher hboots are gone. If it's just for flashing different wifi and radio firmware, you don't need to change your hboot when you're S-Off.
You can find a radio (+ other related firmware) flasher here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998270
The only scary thing about getting S-Off is the part where you have to get superCID. But this is still less scary than going through the downgrade process. (Both involve poking in p4, but superCID doesn't involve bricking and recovering.)
I don't know which radio/wifi will work for your device and ROM. You have to experiment or search for posts by someone with a similar situation.

Sure! :highfive:
Bonjour everyone, here's a little guide on how to unbrand your phone in order to get the OTA updates notifications directly and be able to install them.
If you want to get S-OFF one day on your One SV, read this first. You need to change CID to SuperCID to do so, and it's not possible (for the moment) if you upgrade to JB
Basically this works as long as your phone model is sold unbranded somewhere in the world and that the people having such a phone got an OTA update.
For now, ther's no way to change CID if you're running JB and are S-ON. That means that this only work for One SV's running ICS who want to get the OTA updates.
As far as I know, it works on K2_U and K2_UL, since they both got an OTA update to JB.
The trick is simple, I didn't invent it and haven't been able to find its original founder, but thanks a lot to her or him !
I'm basically just a messenger here since I only tried out some stuff that worked with other phones, so thanks a lot to bkcokota, old.splatterhand and jmztaylor
Don't try it if you're worried, bricks happen, you'd be the only one responsible !
Here we go :
1. First you need to root your phone, here's how.
2. Change you CID using the same method than for the One S.
Personnaly, I changed it to "HTC__203", which is the CID unbranded HTC phones have in France (HTC-FRA).
For example, "HTC__001" is HTC-WWE, which stands for World Wide English.
You can change it to whatever CID you like : choose it well. I can only recommend to use HTC__203 since it's the only one I tried and that it worked, but do as you please !
3. Flash stock recovery back. You'll find it here or here. Flash it like you flashed CWM recovery (into fastboot, using fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img).
4. Relock your bootloader. It's possible that it's not necessary, but it can't hurt ("fastboot oem lock", when in fastboot usb)
5. Run a RUU that matches you unbranded CID to get an "unbranded" rom.
You'll find them here, for example. The "RUU_K2_UL_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.5_R....exe" one will work with HTC__203 and HTC__001 CIDs.
6. Go ask your phone if he can find any updates
WARNING : for the moment there's no way to change CID if you upgrade to JB since the newer HBOOT (v2.00) don't let you do it. That means that for now you won't be able to S-OFF if you upgrate to JB using this method. For now...
Nice one!
Only thing i would add for people to know:
if somebody want to get S-Off, they should change the CID to SuperCID 11111111 (or if you want 22222222,...).

Done, sir.
It was only said at the bottom of the message at first, but now I put it at the beginning as well.
There's one thing that I'm trying to get though : according to a lot of people and forums, you don't get OTA when you have SuperCID... but some poeple say they do.
It probably changes depending on the type of HTC phone, but also depending on the OTA (some got the first ones, but not the latest...).
I got the ota notification with SuperCID, i think it depends on more things.
But there i'm not far enough into it.
I have had no success at all. My story:
Updated a branded phone to JB, rooted. Then I did a moonshine S-off and changed CID to HTC__001 (even tried 11111111).
I have downloaded a ICS RUU (couldn't find stock K2_UL so I thought that I would download ICS first and then do OTA to JB) but I am getting error 158. I have checked md5 sum and it matches (http://androidfiles.org/ruu/getdown...0.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_301902_signed.exe). Any ideas?
If you're on jb and hboot 2.00, that's normal... and written in the first post.
There is information that it is impossible to change CID while on JB and with 2.0 hboot, but I guess that I have had success in changing to superCID (at least this is what I can read in bootloader and using fastboot oem readcid command.
So, as far as I understand newer hboot won't let me use older RUU as well, right?

To get it a bit clearer.
At this point i'm not very up to date, thats why i didn't answer til now.
I think (but i'm not sure) you can flash the ruu, if you are on hboot 1.0.
And as you are S-Off you should be able to downgrade hboot. But this is a very risky point, you can easily brick your device. Here is, how you have to do:

To change hboot you will need a PL80IMG.zip on sdcard with android-info.txt and hboot.img inside it.

The thing what makes it difficult, is to get the hboot.img (its inside ics ruu), cause the htc ruu's encrypted and i only have heard about tools for linux which can decrypt it.
Thanks to your reply I did some research and I have managed to do what I wanted. I have downgraded hboot first (by extracting and encrypting ICS RUU using linux), then I could run RUU and now I am stock ICS with S-off and superCID
Should I post some files from RUU? 1.0 hboot or stock recovery? You guys need something?
Thanks for your helping hand old.splatterhand!

Hi everyone.
Just a quick message to confirm that rollon's method works.
To downgrade you need to be S-OFF, extract and decrypt (with ruuveal, using linux or a linux virtualbox runned in windows) hboot and androidinfo from ICS RUU, put them in a zip named PL80IMG.zip, put it on your sd card and boot into bootloader. Then you can run the ICS RUU normally and you'll be back to stock ICS, with a "*** LOCKED ***" bootloader (not relocked !), will be able to go back to S-ON using "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (thanks to JMZ)...
You'll then have a locked S-ON out of box phone running 100% stock ICS with original boot, recovery and all that... who'll get the 2 JB OTA's...
In case anyone's interested
As the title says, im S-ON, firmware 2.16, cant get supercid to S-OFF and then run RUU. And im htc dev unlocked.
Before i got stuck with this, i had supercid following the steps posted in development section and then i S-OFF, but then i changed my cid to HTC__011 and S-OFF to S-ON. After that i couldnt revert it back to 11111111, i tried many roms, from maximushd to trickdroid (even tho im on 2.16 firmware from maximushd), and every time i change cid and boot in bootloader to check it, it always shows HTC__011 like its protected. I also tried locking my bootloader, but i couldnt flash RUU, i think its because of the firmware.
Now im stuck with s-on, firmware 2.16, htc cid which i cant change. So if someone knows, please help.... sorry for my english and Thanks!
