Finally got it. Keep trying was NOT the solution. I had to flash a different firmware version so I was on 4.2.2, then I could get s off and restore nandroid back to stock firmware.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tiho5:
It's true a few guys mentioned this earlier. But how can we be sure?

Nobody said that was able to do it on the 1.54 hboot since quite some time (with or without root).

DUDE, read #3224

I DO READ BEFORE I POST!! (NO OFFENCE)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
Except that this is not true, not at all. I know of people who have hard-bricked stock phones taking OTAs.

It's also very dangerous to take an OTA if you have made any modifications to your phone. When I was on the One XL, just about everyone who took the 4.1 OTA while superCID hard-bricked because of some signature bug in the update files. And there was no way to fix it short of jtag because that hboot was write-protected.

The ONLY time it is reasonably safe to take an OTA is if your phone is bone stock, never modded. If you have made any changes to it, even if you think you're back to 100% stock, you should never, ever take an OTA. Period. An OTA assumes your phone is bone stock, and it isn't you're just rolling the dice on getting bricked.

Quick question..

I used revone weeks ago to successfully s-off and remove the tamper flag - would I need to run through the process described in the OP (would I need to push revone to data/local/tmp/ again, etc.) if I wanted to lock again? Then use ./revone -l
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:
Without proper testing (fastboot getvar all) with screenshots it's hard to say if that truly works and no one here will want to do testing because they could potentially lose s-off.

The majority of people here on root with 4.2.2 have had zero luck getting it to work and I have done extensive testing with nandroid backups with root which has all the s-off binaries and did work now refuse to work and always come up with error code = -6

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

If it's still under /data/local/tmp then you can just run ./revone -l without the need to adb push it to the phone again.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Super-Veloce:
I didn't say flash a hboot with S-ON, I said, flash a firmware, that contains hbhoot 1.44

I had flashed Android Revolution HD 12 and the 4.2.2 patch, so I had hboot 1.54

I wanted to make my phone back to stock, so I had to find the RUU of the firmware I had

I had 1.29.401.16 and couldn't find the ruu of it, so I took 1.29.401.13

http://mobilefirmware.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=17922

I downloaded the RUU 1.29.401.13 .ZIP

Changed the name to firmware.zip and placed it in my ADB folder

(I had/have stock recovery on my phone)

restart phone in bootloader, go to fastboot

plug in your usb cable

C:\adb\fastboot oem rebootRUU

your phone restarts and you'll see silver HTC logo

C:\adb\fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

it copies and tries to install the firmware, it fails

C:\adb\fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Now you'll get a green bar and it starts installing the ruu

The green bar goes to 95% and in cmd promt it will say it's completed

fastboot reboot-bootloader

you'll see 1.44 and you got 4.1.2

now you could do revone to unlock bootloader + S-off

install the 4.2.2 ota

and you'll have S-OFF, bootloader unlocked, hboot 1.54

but with hboot 1.54, you can't flash/boot a custom recovery, to root your device
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:
You cannot downgrade firmware from 4.22 to 4.12 without having s-off you already had 1.29.x so yes for you it would work.

It will say version mismatch and hboot errors.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Super-Veloce:
See my edit.. I had ARHD with 4.2.2 and hboot 1.54.. than installed ruu 1.29.401.13 ;)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Spartn:
well if this works, many people would thank you :)

i tried few days ago the same way and i still had 1.54 after, maybe someone else would give it a try, but again lose everything with no go for s off..hm i'm really disapointed for testing again ;)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:
If that works then I would say..... You are a legend... Tried this before on mine and it would fail every time but I tried 1.28.401.7
[One (M7) Original Android Development] jmkhenka:
for starters, thats not a RUU. That is just a normal rom file.zip, contains system and a boot.img but nothing affecting hboot.

so you are probably talking crap.

And btw flashing ARHD wont upgrade your bootloader - you probably had 1.44 all the time.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Super-Veloce:
it worked for me..

first thing I did,

fastboot boot trwp.img

by doing this, it starts custom recovery, but keeps orginal recovery after closing the custom recovery

than I installed ARHD and I got 4.2.2 with hboot 1.44 yes... than I installed a little update package, and got ARHD 4.2.2 with hboot 1.54..

wanted to return to stock.. so i flashed 1.29.401.13... I had 4.1.2 with 1.44 again..

I could do all the things and film it, but it will cost me a lot of time, to restore where I am now..

because I got hboot 1.54 now,, I cant fastboot boot cwm.img or trwp.img.. can't make a backup :(
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
You cannot flash firmware with s-on. It will fail the signature check every time. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. The only way to change firmware with s-on is with a RUU, because it is signed. And if you try to tinker with the RUU, it too will fail the signature check.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tash2013:
I repeat my post from another thread.

Could somebody check this combination 2.24.401.1.firmware (HBOOT 1.54 of course)+ 2.17.401.1 ROM (from MIke1986 thread) and

revone v0.2.1-wlj.

When I had 2.17.401.1. Mike custom firmware (HBOOT 1.54 )+ 2.17.401.1 ROM I got S-OFF without problem with revone v0.2.1-wlj.

My test phone for "flashing games" was taken by my wife :) and I can't check it myself
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
I believe the first version of 1.54 that was released (with the 2.17 leak) did work with revone.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tash2013:
You suppose that HBOOT 1.54 2.17.401.1 and HBOOT 1.54 2.24.401.1 has some difference in a software code? Need check it. :) Could you give me the link to HBOOT 1.54 2.24.401.1?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
They had different md5s and Sneakyghost reportedly found quite a few differences by doing a comparison. The most recent hboot is in the firmware package in the firmware thread.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] zopostyle:
Didn't worked on my HTC One BS_US001 1.29.1540.17 HBoot 1.44

Already tried rebooting the phone, tried to do everything again 3 times ..

Any suggestions?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tiho5:
I've also binary compared them and they are very different though with the same number(1.54)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Stanlehh:
hi guys,

i am currently S-Off but with hboot 1.54 since I flashed the 2.24 firmware.zip without removing the hboot within it, do I need to worry about anything since my hboot is now 1.54?

I didn't know about the difference, is there any alternative way of downgrading hboot back to 1.44 without RUU?

I have 1.29's firmware.zip, if I flash this through fastboot, will it change my hboot back to 1.44 without flashing RUU?

Hope to have some help, thank you.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] jmkhenka:
I tried to "fastboot flash file.zip" and it just failes checking android-info.txt and quits there, no ammount of retry changes that.

A stock RUU contain alot more files and most of them in img format. Signed bootloader, signed recovery etc. Firmware upgrade packages also require you to lock the bootloader so just doing it after you flash arhd will fail due to that. I dont know what you did and how, but I suspect you had soff before 1.54 and then revone works.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:

bcause my status is .. unlocked but s-on [MENTION=4951492]hboot[/MENTION] 1.54..
[One (M7) Original Android Development] miljko75:
I do not know if it is wise to play with the phone from 700 € with eng hboot or via JTAG you will pay 30 € and they all do (think 4.2.2 with hboot 1.54 and s-on)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
An official RUU is different because it is signed. You can run one s-on as long as your bootloader is locked.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gunnyman:
and if had read that post carefully you would see that that poster HAD S-off then took firmware upgrade to 1.54 HBOOT and Rev one was still functional.

That's not in dispute here.

What DOES NOT WORK is the initial granting of S-off with the 1.54 HBOOT as officially released by HTC.

Hope that's clear enough for you.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] nikolaus2007:
So i could relock my bootloader on 1.54 flash an official RUU (including hboot 1.44) an then go from the very beginning?

Unlock, s-off the 1.44 hboot?

can't i relock without revone? i have an unlock code from HTC, so my way could be possible?
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
No. You can only run a RUU with your current or later firmware. S-on won't let you run an earlier one.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] nikolaus2007:
Ah ok, then i'm stuck in my current state.

unlocked 1.54 s-on.

What need to be done to get ota update ??
[One (M7) Original Android Development] odm3xda:
I had unlocked my boot loader via HTC dev classic method then soff using revone but when I learned that my phone has an OTA waiting I flashed stock recovery and downloaded the ota but it could not install I do not know why . Tryed several times, each time I had to download the ota again but no use .. I flashed cwm again and restored my Rom from the backup I made on the first day I got the device and tried again but it always stopped at recovery and I had to reboot manulay each time by long pressing power button .. I thought maybe the reason is the s off so I went s on again using revone and used secure flag 3 to get it back as it was before using revone cause I was afraid I might brick the phone if the update has a new hboot and then flashed stock recovery again and tried the update and it did work but it was so weird that I had to reboot manualy evey time the green line finished or it just stays there for more than 20 minutes and when the update was done and the phone booted nornaly it did not read my media neither I could find it in root explorer but more than 20 gigs occupied so I performed a format data format sd card in cwm and now it works great but s on and tampered ... I flashed bullet proof kernel and the wierd thing is the red text at boot is not there after flashing a custom kernel .. I changed fonts in the system folder to make sure i can write to system and it works ... I googled s on and s off thing and figured out I do not really need it. Unless I am taking this device to waranty which I do not need to do. Now I am on the new hboot and stock 4.2.2 and everything works like new and I got root and bullet proof kernel

That's all I need for now and hopefully I do not need s off before revone gets updated to work with new hboot
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
Why did you root and s-off if you care about OTA updates?

Just flash a current rom and update your firmware manually, and you won't need to worry about OTAs because you'll already be up to date.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Super-Veloce:

[One (M7) Original Android Development] Spartn:
i could achieve this after playing other few hours, but bootloader still says s on

i think this not going anywhere
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tiho5:
I guess you're on 1.44, right

Try not to use commands to reboot, but rather do it by press & hold the power button. Some reported that this made the difference for them.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Spartn:
I'm on hboot 1.54 :( trying to downgrade.. was able to downgrade to 4.2.1 1.29.401.13 by following the way advised guys few post ago, even touch screen was working till i flashed boot from adhd12.0, then it stopped working, but the point still s on even after success revone reports :(

So i think no way, we have to wait for new revone update
[One (M7) Original Android Development] tiho5:
Yeah, sorry mate. Not possible for now.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] iElvis:
It stopped working because the 12.0 kernel is 4.2.2 and you flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom. Neither is going to touch your firmware.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:
With spaces you can enter anything and it says successful as all it's doing is passing revone with no syntax.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Spartn:

[One (M7) Original Android Development] EclipseEntity:
Thank you Revolutionary Dev Team. I successfully S-off my HTC One with HBoot 1.44 that was on TrickDroid 7.5. JB 4.2.2. Now it's unlocked + non-tampered. Process went smoothly no error. Like others have said "adb reboot" doesn't work gotta manually reboot the phone but I think that's an adb thing.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] EddyOS:
So long as you're on ADB v1.0.31 you should be OK
[One (M7) Original Android Development] Super-Veloce:
I don't know if you need to be S-OFF for this, but it's worth a try

Go back to Stock hboot - 1.44.0000:

Download: hboot.zip (link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdgw13nddv35t60/Stock_hboot_1.44.0000.zip )

Place the zip in your adb folder on your PC

Rename it to hboot144.zip

Open cmd promt

1. C:\adb\adb reboot-bootloader

2. fastboot oem rebootRUU (you'll get silver htc logo)

3. fastboot flash zip hboot144.zip (you'll get a green bar, that goes to 80% and in cmd promt it says completed)

4. fastboot reboot-bootloader (you'll see hboot 1.44

Now you could do the revone method.

I was on 4.2.2 with hboot 1.54, s-off bootloader unlocked, but no root anymore

So I flashed hboot 1.44.. than I fastboot boot cwm.img and I made a backup of the rom, flashed superSU and gained root

Than I flashed hboot 1.54 back

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47452750/hboot154.zip

Now I got stock HTC 4.2.2 firware, orginal recovery, hboot1.54, cid HTC__E11, S-OFF, bootloader-unlocked, rooted :)

That won't work unless you were S-OFF already. I have S-ON and HBOOT 1.54. If you try to flash a different HBOOT it fails every time.
[One (M7) Original Android Development] daleski75:
Because you always had s-off you can downgrade hboot without any issues the problem is if you do not have s-off then you cannot downgrade hboot to 1.44 with ANY ruu, zip, the system simply won't let it happen.

I appreciate the fact that you are trying to help out but right now all you are doing is adding to the confusion.

Thanks again!! :good:
[One (M7) Original Android Development] DeSaint2:
Seriously, just go grab a custom firmware zip and a stock Rom based on update. Less risk of messing messing something up. You are taking just as great a risk as flashing a modified hboot. The custom firmware zip just has recovery dzdata and boot.img taken out. Hboot is clean stock and unmodified.

Hey guys:

Searching didn't help since I have a list of questions:

1. I want to run Stock + Root for a few months then later on, Cyanogenmod. Nothing wrong for me to get S-Off right now right?

2. If I unlock the bootloader through HTC Dev, I wipe the device. Does unlocking the bootloader with S-Off also wipe my device? Is there any way to maintain data?

3. For warranty purposes, can I go back to S-On (I know I can remove the tampered status), or I dont ever need to go back to S-On? (Even for warranty purposes).

4. According to HTC Dev, S-On is a safety measure against fake flashes and hardbricks. Is this true or FUD?

5. Is it possible to Sim Unlock once I obtain S-Off? (Just curiosity)
[One (M7) Original Android Development] gartner83:
1. Nothing wrong.

2. No, it doesn't wipe.

3. Yes, you can and you have to to claim warranty.

4. Yes, you can much easily brick your device, if you are not careful and you flash without knowing what you are doing, otherwise no.

5. That I don't know but I think you need another SIM, not sure.
