Setting s-off - HTC One S

Sorry if I am posting this in the incorrect forum. This is my first posting,
Anyway, I have a T-Mobile HTC One S ville and have been trying to set s-off so I can install the Lineage ROM. I rooted and unlocked the phone and installed the CM-12.1 Rom without any problems. Unfortunately, when I tried to run the Sunshine app, I discovered (too late) that the phone must be running its stock rom or near-stock rom. After many attempts to find a stock rom, I successfully installed MaximusHD 10.0.0, but am unable to install the firmware, so I am unable to obtain a wifi connection due to authentication problems. I then tethered the phone to my laptop and was able to gain internet access, and the Sunshine app ran successfully for the first set of tests. When Sunshine attempted to run the next set of tests, it disconnected the tether. So I am stuck on how to proceed.
Here are the getvar readings:

You're in luck my friend, I'm in the same boat as you trying to get this thing running good to play some old Android games.

Let me know if you get S-Off, there seems to be carrier resrictions on our TMO devices. I've thought about extracting the ROM.zip of a Global RUU, and flashing it through fastboot manually, but don't want to brick my phone haha.

[Q] Made a mistake with firmware, now ROMs won't boot

My HTC One S is stuck in a bootloop. I'm very new to this stuff.

I can currently start the bootloader, which states S-ON, TAMPERED and UNLOCKED.
I can install recoveries. Right now I have TWRP, and I think it works the way it should.
Tried installing a stock ROM, tried CM11 (which is what I started with) and CM10.2.
I updated the firmware which is what I think caused the issue.
Between every attempt, I cleared cache and dalvik before and after each ROM flash, then rebooted.
Every ROM puts me into a bootloop.
Please help me.

Easy fix your going to have to flash a boot.img from the rom
You have to do this because your S-on if you were S off you would not need to flash the boot img yourself
follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677

I don't have access to a PC with Windows on it, unfortunately. Can't I do it without the All-in-One tool?

I have only installed through a PC using this toolkit but the links have been removed anyway to download it.
There are other tools but I have not used them I'm sorry
A little update:
First, recovery stopped having control over the SD card somehow. Right now I can't even boot into recovery anymore.
I think I need to run RUU, but I don't know which one. I have downloaded this one off androidruu.com:
Code:
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
because it matches my radio version, but I don't know about the rest. Currently in the process of installing Windows 7 on a virtual machine so I can run this thing (why the hell is it a .exe file?!).
Does anyone know which one would work for me?

Hello, I find that to get SuperCID and S-Off only works if you have a ROM that has Sense on it. Try this:
Download ViperOne Rom and in install it. (Hopefully it will load and bootup)
If it doesn't get past the Logo screen go into the "Bootloader" on the phone (Power + Volume Down). Connect it to your USB and make sure it's says "Fastboot USB". Extract "boot_hboot2.15.img" in the ZIP (in Kernal Folder).
Put the file in the same folder in your Fastboot/ADB . Type in "Fastboot Flash Boot boot_hboot2.15.img" and is should allow you to start up the ViperOne ROM.
From there you should be able to do your SuperCID and S-off. (Make sure your Rooted, SuperSU, and Busybox is installed before doing SuperCID and S-off)

I am also running the PACMAN 4.2.2 rom.
Every RUU that I have tried has failed, so I was attempting to get S-OFF so I could flash one, but moonshine/rumrunner require that fastboot be disabled and I do not see that as an option in my rom.
I also tried to flash a newer ROM but I got an error about the bootloader being out of date.
Can anyone provide me with a way to get back to stock or get S-OFF?
Thanks.
Solved my own problem. I flashed an old stock 4.1 ROM that worked OK except for ADB on the windows side. I was able to use rumrunner on Linux to get S-OFF. Then I flashed venom 2.1 so that ADB would work on Windows and the RUU ran without any problems.
Where did you find the old stock Rom? I'm having problems flashing any roms on mine

I believe I used the TMOUS one that can be found in this thread. That should be a JB rom.
So now I could RUU and do s-off with rum runner.
My phone boots now but I still can't install any custom Roms

[Q] Can't update HBoot or roms

I have a T-Mobile HTC One and I am trying to get it updated to something other than stock. Right now I have CM 10.0.0 running but none of the gapps will work (all crashing and play store won't load - just says retry). I can't get any other roms to work. I think my main problem is that HBOOT is showing 1.14.005 and I have S-ON. I can't get any RUU program to work. They are all failing. I can ADB push and fastboot flash but nothing seems to work. I can't seem to find what I am missing. I just would like to get a complete working rom without the HTC stuff on it.
1. How do I get S-off?
2. how do I update Hboot?
3. are there any rims that will work with the old hboot that I can just flash right now that will work with all of the Google apps?
I just need this phone to last my daughter another 4 months. I thought I could just put a clean rom on this one and get her up and running. 2 days and 100 flashes and pushes and I am worse off than I was! I don't care what version of Android it is running as long as it is JB or higher.

First you need to flash stock recovery, the you have to relock the bootloader. Once done you can flash the latest RUU or HBoot update. With updated HBoot you can unlock the bootloader again, flash TWRP and a custom rom.
Here you can find the stock recovery
and the latest RUUs (2nd post) --> LINK

Looking for correct RUU for vodafone

I inadvertently posted this on the wrong forum. Just re-posting this in the correct location and adding some notes.
Hi all,
I started down a slippery slope which was what I hoped was an easy task of upgrading a relative's android phone to a later version into a several day ordeal with a broken phone.
I have a Vodafone from germany HTC One S. I wanted to upgrade to android 4.3 which seems to require a firmware update, but I'm having a very hard time finding the correct version of the RUL to apply.
Can someone help me if you happen to have that wonderful file laying around.
Here's my device's: fastboot getvar all

Kernel: 3.4.10-gf987dcd
I would really really appreciate it if anyone had the correct RUU or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks so much.
The reason my bootloader is locked is because from what I read it needed to be locked in order to perform a firmware update. If that's not the case I can easily unlock it again.
Older thread for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/looking-correct-ruu-vodafone-t3440997
Did the RUU u got from "alray" work? (cant post the androidfilehost link, but the file name is PJ40IMG_Ville_U_JB_45_S_Vodafone_UK_3.16.161.10_Radio_1.15.50.05.29_10.30.50.08L_release_314501_signed.zip)
Edit:
OH MY GOD... it works, after 20 hours of serching in this Forum i found you and your Link. Now i have a working OS for the first time. I got this Phone without OS,S-on and twrp was not working properly (unable to mount SD-card) Now I have a Base and I can proceed my Plans, unlock bootloader again, get SuperCID, S-off, a recovery and a custom ROM with root. Thank you so much!!
