This is the Shipped ROMs, recoveries, and Radios thread. Download RUU which you're interested in. DO BACKUP FIRST, THEN COPY EVERYTHING FROM PHONE'S SDCARD TO COMPUTER. FLASHING RUU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE'S SDCARD. it works like a factory restore in bootloader mode - wipes everything.

Rem: Locked/re-clocked Bootloader and the stock recovery are the must prior flashing stock ROM!

.

Then, you can either flash RUU or OTA update through OEM RUU flashing mode:

1. fastboot oem rebootRUU

2. fastboot flash zip *name of the OTA zip-file*

3. fastboot oem boot

After boot up, you will have upgraded/downgraded ROM and HBOOT. Do whatever you need to do then (Unlock, Root, etc.).

If you're thinking about upgrading, better if you do Super CID first, then re-lock bootloader, and then flash RUU.

Anyone know if it possible to modify the hboot and display a different wallpaper/background? (instead of the white - android skateboarder) Perhaps through a plugin?

with s-off and super cid we can downgrade our hboot with ruu.. i just updated with ruu 2.35 hboot 1.14 after i relocked my hboot and now im running ruu 1.53 which gives me hboot 1.06 had o share this so we can down grade much easier now i have done this on two one s devices both are s4

AW: [S-Off] Facepalm S-Off for HTC Devices One S, One XL, Droid DNA

Still asking myself the question why you want to downgrade with s off at all...
[HTC One S] pyro43284:
becuase i lost wifi on sense roms when i tried to flash another radio and couldn't get it back, can flash kernels without the extra steps but still cant do radios and stuff with higher hboot,

hboot 1.14 still gives some of us a hard time... at least i was sharing a method of down grading that you diddnt have to have Ubuntu and not as risky as that method and is much easier...
[HTC One S] Stainless7221:
This did the trick with ERROR 99, thank you :)
[HTC One S] Logseman:
YAYYYYYY!!!!

I did it! I found out that you don't need ADB either, as long as you have a terminal emulator in your phone you can do the shell commands there. However, the step 8 changes of course. Original step 8:

adb push soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 744 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

Alternative step 8:

Connect the phone to your computer and unzip soffbin3 to the phone's memory.

Open terminal emulator:

$ su
# chmod 744 /sdcard/soffbin3
# cp /sdcard/soffbin3 /data/local/tmp/soffbin3
# su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3"

It's a minor difference, but a terminal emulator takes 400 KB to download, while the latest ADB bundle for Windows takes 400 MB, and you have to set it up.

Just to make sure. If I have HTC one s, s on, super cid,rooted with hboot 1.14 I van use this method to downgrade my boot?

reunlock

reunlockasoon2000;38203141]I got the TMOUS S4 model. My HBOOT changed from 1.14.0005 to 1.14.0004 to 2.15.0000. Really strange. S-Off didn't work and my bootloader won't reunlock. I'm back on the stock ROM. I tried EVERYTHING to get my bootloader to reunlocked. Nothing worked.

Get a new unlock code from HTC dav and one thing I want to tell is that hold the power button for 15 sec you device will restart.now unlock bootloder .you will see I will unlock.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Thanks for pointing this out. Just wanted to comment on the 400Mb download. I have a generic ADB/Fastboot folder set up and its in my DropBox (Signature) too. It only contains ADB.exe, fastboot.exe and two required dll's. That is enough to have it working. Quite small. Unpacked to an easy path for easy commandline navigation like e.g. c:\android it will neither be a big download nor does it need a lot of setting-up.

Hi, I am not new there but since I usually just follow steps for rooting, flashing and similar and mostly it works, now I have question.

I have One S T-Mobile US (S4) and I already was successful in installing EUR software but yeah it says it can't flash OTA for EUR JB. Then I just back to stock T-Mo.

But now if I somehow do the S-OFF is it possible to switch to EUR ICS and then receive OTA JB?

And yes I am getting Segmentation fault but I will try to finish it over custom roms to get to the S-OFF.

Stupid mistake: just in case someone else might make the same simple mistake

I didn't succeed yesterday, and I tried again and finally s-off ed my HTC ONE S.

I made two mistakes:

1st I've got "Permission Denied" when I executed the above commands. You might need a software called "adbd Insecure". Search it in this forum or Playstore, you definitely will find it. Thanks to Chainfire.

2nd I "adb push soffbin3" and failed, since I didn't extract soffbin3.zip. So I thought maybe I need add".zip", and was wondering why these devs were so careless.:D Don't they know that I am new? "adb push soffbin3.zip" didn't work either.

Finally, today I thought, maybe they are right and I am wrong. I extract the zip file downloaded and got soffbin3. I followed the instructions and now I s-off my HTC ONE S. Though don't know what to do with it, it's still a good thing.

Hope it can help someone.

Thanks for this method. Not too difficult to follow.

No one has been able to articulate any functional known differences between any of the hboots on a s-off device to me. The 1.14 hboot will remove the tampered warning on your bootloader, that's about it. 1.06 and 1.09 could flash kernels without fastboot on s-on devices, but that should make no difference on a s-off device.

I think you're getting SuperCID confused with bootloader unlocking. In your command window, type these commands:

adb reboot bootloader

Finally got it.... was getting FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail) with hboot 1.14.0004 but I thought I fully SuperCID myself but it wasn't taking.

worked ( did exposed an issue with my radio/me )

worked. T-Mobile branded HTC One S on hboot 1.06 ( which I downgraded from 1.13 ).

It could have broken my radio (cell). The radio signal strength has an 'x' above it, neither phone calls nor mobile data work. I did upgrade to cm10.1 a few minutes before - so just saying. I will update this post when I fix my phone :)

It exposed an issue: I play around with firmware alot. I suspect, I had some firmware files missing from my radio partition - notable the hboot screen didn't show the radio/baseband version before or after this procedure. Worth mentioning, I did notice that there where some warnings to fsck several ext4 partitions.

Fixed after I did a mke2fs on partitions 17,18,19,33,34,35,36 then reflashed the wifi and + radio partitions and installed cm10.0.

I'm almost certain this was me, so carry on. For sure a huge thanks to those that donate their time and energy so I can use all of my device that I pay for - not some of it.
