[Q] accidentaly update firmware after s-off

hey, sorry for the noob question. i have unlocked and s-off my device but i accidentally updated the firmware using mike1986's firmware without cid first. then my device become locked again. how do i unlock it again? or, is there any hboot upgrade to make my hboot supported by revolution tool again?

[Q] After official OTA update.. No unlocked bootloader etc. ?

Will I get the official OTA update if I have unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev method? Actually, I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev on my sensation which is still in Android 2.3.4. (At that point I didn't know that doing that would not allow supercid and all that stuff.)
If I will get the update.. I just wanted to know after the official OTA update from HTC, will it be a like a new phone? (yeah, i know it will be factory reset.. but i wanted to know if my bootloader, rooting and etc. Will that remain?)
I want the all the rooting and unlocked bootloader not to stay so that i can start afresh with Revolutionary and flash one of the Sense 4 ROMs.. Please help!!
Thank you!

Yes you will receive OTA and bootloader will remain **unlocked**. All you need to receive OTA is stock rom, stock recovery and original cid (S-OFF or S-ON doesn't matter).
By the way if you are still on android 2.3.4 most probably your Hboot is 1.18 that means you can S-Off using Revolutionary and then supercid, root etc.. (you can revert easily to original cid and stock recovery anytime).
If you upgrade to ICS 4.0 with Hboot 1.27 you won't be able to S-OFF and supercid unless someone will find a solution. Actually Hboot 1.27 is not supported by Revolutionary.
Ota to ICS 4.0 will not factory reset your phone. Your data and apps will be untouched.
Honestly I don't understand if you are rooted or not. Unlocking bootloader by HtcDev doesn't mean you are rooted. Could you please clarify?
Hope it helps.

[Q] Latest official ROM

Hi.
I'm looking for the latest RUU ROM (WWE or Europe) for our Desire S. I want to completely remove anything from phone and back to the factory state (after that official unlock and root).
Which version is the latest one?
Greetings.

The latest is ICS RUU 14.01.401.2
But the better way (that will keep your warranty, that is void by htcdev.com) will be:
S-OFF (downgrade without using htcdev if your current bootloader is 2.x or go straight to revolutionary.io if it is 0.98.x)
Change the bootloader to 7.xx and flash 4EXT recovery touch
Flash the ICS RUU (keeping your hboot and recovery) and root it
For each step there is a dedicated Guide that you can find in the Index thread
Good luck :good:

How to change bootloader to 7.xx (as you wrote) or ENG bootloader (as in index topic)?
Does flashing via official RUU ICS file will keep my S-OFF and 7.xx/eng bootloader?
Is the 7.xx bootloader same as ENG bootloader? Which one is better and why?

[Q] How to choose RUU?

Hi guys!
I have some problem with HTC Sensation. It boots only till HTC logo. And nothing more! On this device isn't OS.
Some guys said that I need to install RUU exe file through computer. I did it but received error 130 (need other version of RUU, I think).
So can you recommend something?
S-ON, hboot 1.18.000, radio 10.14.9035.02_02
Thank you!

What exactly do you mean by "On this device isn't OS".Do you mean you haven't install some custom OS on your device or it has no OS at all.If you have erase the OS the bootloop is something natural.
I did a google search for your radio version and according to this I found answers only on some german forums.So your cid (as long as you are s-on) should be possibly a German or a European one.
You can download the latest Europe version from here and give it a try.
You can find your cid number using fastboot.Just get into fastboot mode of your hboot and give the command fastboot getvar cid.
If your bootloader is HTCDEV unlocked give the commands:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
After that your hboot should say Relocked instead of Unlocked.Then install the RUU.
You could also give it S-OFF using this guide (Does not require HTCDEV unlock method):
[GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)

If you are S-ON you can use a RUU only with hboot 1.18 in your case

Why exactly he should use an RUU with hboot 1.18?!
I know that the version of hboot can be upgraded normally but cannot be downgraded as long as you are S-ON.If you are S-OFF you can downgrade everything.Also if you want to install an older RUU and you are S-ON you have to use a gold card and you patch the version of the misc partition to an equal or lower one for the RUU you are going to use.
