HOWTO Upgrad old hboot s-off to new hboot 2.00.0000 s-off (7.00.1000 upgraded to be installed on revolutonary s-off 6.xxxxx)
1. download to your sd-card this file xttp://rghost.ru/34060371
2. Then reboot into bootloader - phone will install PG32IMG.zip by itself
3. Now you can install the stock firmware 3.08.405.3 (RUU or OTA), s-off
for downgrade use old eng s-off xttp://rghost.ru/34168821
or
use adb:
adb devices
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/backup.img
dd if=/sdcard/hboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot bootloader
You can flash any hboot
Any references? I want to know how it works.

What will it show after installing this HBOOT? CID will be changed to SuperCID? ENG S-OFF or SHIP S-OFF?
(Sorry about I have many questions to ask. I also want to test but I relocked my boot loader.)
CID no changed , SHIP S-OFF based on revolutionary
set to revolutionary s-off 6.13 etc or eng-hboot

Yes these are vary obvious noob questions and the answers to both of these can be found in this forum by using the search functionality. Flashing CWM or EXT4 is the whole basis for customizing your IncS, so my suggestion to you is search, read and research to learn how to do.
is there and what is the advantage of updating old HBOOT (S-OFF) to new HBOOT (S-OFF)
You should flash the hboot back to ENG S-off if you want to go back to S-ON
For me it worked... thanks
I have updated the phone with the last firmware revision.
Now I have android 2.3.5 and sense 3.0.
Of course, hbtoot 2.0x too and the phone is s-on.
Now, what I have to do for Root my phone (set s-off and install clockwork mod)?

You won't be able to gain true S-OFF (as shown on the HBOOT screen), but you can unlock the bootloader by using the procedure at HTCDEV.com and then you can install ClockworkMod recovery and flash su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to root the ROM.
FreeWolF80, you can unlock the bootloader, downgrade to old hboot, s-off revolutionary and upgrade to 3.08.405.3

Clockworkmod: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivo.img
P.S. The clockworkmod for above ^^, must flash through fastboot.

I'm running VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL HBOOT-6.13.1002 (dated 1 april 2011) with rom ARHD 2.1.1, for what reasons should I upgrade to HBOOT-7.00.1000 (dated 1 november 2011)?
Are there advantages, like it will be possible easier to go back S-ON for warranty reasons?
Inferi0r , this hboot for stock 3.08.405.3
So we have only an advantage if we are still on one of the newest stock roms?
I'm curious to know too, following on from Inferi0r's question. If I'm running a custom ROM already, does this mean there's no benefit with a newer HBOOT?

Actually there are not really benefit from newer hboot..just it will be harder to s-off only..if you are running custom rom already,then it is good enough.

Trust me... Makes things worse... I can't even flash splash images now... Says permission denied even after htc's bootloader unlock... Only pg32img.zips work... Gonna flash enghboot again soon
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA App
@Knightrocker: let me know if the flash was succesfull. I can´t get rid of the modified hboot. I´ve tried to flash different hboots even via fastboot but did not succeed. Using fastboot it says that hboot flash is bypassed and does nothing. Also PG32IMG.zip tries failed by me.
If you succeed please share the PG32IMG.zip file with me. Thanks
Edit: After playing with ADB I did it. Sorry for bothering you with my trouble
Is there anyway to downgrade to older version of hboot?
Now, i am on hboot 1.25.My phone is thailand region.
I cant install stock ruu.i have 140 error all the time.
I think RUU is too old but i dont know where to find a newer version.
I download ruu from stickied topic in development forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317895
I think that is the only ruu for thailand region. Anyone can help?
Many thanks.
Btw, my phone is still s-on and i think i cant s-off because i still want a warranty(that is why i am trying to go back to stock rom). Please help.

There are only 2 versions of Hboot -> 1.25 and 1.28, there are no official older versions, maybe beta or engineering ones that were not released publicly.
You can S-OFF with unprotected Hboot, but this is not needed for you, check your CID from your phone and flash the according RUU for it, if not, take this tool and flash the S-OFF for 1.25 and after that you can flash any RUU you want as it bypasses that (as far as i know), after the RUU flashing, the HBOOT will be overwrited as well, so you will end up with a stock, locked, S-ON device with the region-stock ROM of your choice, hope this helps

I relock bootloader.
Then, I install RUU. It seems to run smoothly but in the end error 140 came up and my phone is S-ON again with still old custom rom.

Well, as far as i know, you unlock the bootloader again, S-OFF, and after that you flash the RUU, i didn't install any RUU's until now, you should check the guide from stona15 that can be found here, There are more details about what to do and what you want.
Hope this helps
I attempted to flash my UK Vodafone HTC One as I wanted Android Revolutiion HD ROM on my phone, i've sort of got half way and i'm not sure how to continue (or if I should)
So i've unlocked the bootloader, and flashed the clockwork recovery so my phone now says *TAMPERED*
It is still S-On and is on HBOOT 1.54 - having read around this cannot be done, right?
Also, one other quick question. If I ever wanted to go back to complete stock, how can I do this? I can't seem to find the RUU for my phone, and how would I remove *TAMPERED*
Here is my radio version: 4A.17.3250.14
ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED GUYS! I've rooted other HTC's before but not the One yet
You can't go S-Off on 1.54
You could just flash the stock rom and stock recovery, which has the same result as an RUU/
Tampered is removed when you lock, but you can't remove -relocked- without S-Off
Thanks for your reply.
So what you're saying is in the situation I am in at the moment, I can't flash the ARHD ROM to my phone without being S-OFF first?
It's basically just a waiting game for S-OFF to become available for 1.54 and then I could just flash the stock ROM and recovery and then S-OFF to remove the TAMPERED or RELOCKED.
This will be just incase id ever need to send the phone off to Vodafone for whatever reason
Sorry for this n00b question, but I have never dealt with s-on before. I acquired s-off and was running custom roms no problem, Then, I had to send the phone in to HTC to fix the purple tint camera issue. So, I went full stock and made the mistake of putting it back s-on. Apparently, I can no longer s-off anymore (please correct me if I am wrong!)
So, now I am stuck with s-on and I have already htcdev unlocked my bootloader (in an attempt to s-off which I only later found out I can't do anymore).
How can I still run custom roms and gain root?
Also, if I do those things, will I still be able to go back and get OTA if I wanted to? Like, will I be able to go back to stock to run an OTA update for kitkat if it comes?
Thanks for the help!

Hi, why can't you S-OFF? Is it due to your updated hboot?
It should be no problem getting S-OFF using rumrunner.
You can get root either by flashing a custom recovery like TWRP which helps you gain root.
Or flash a custom rom like Android Revolution which provides root access after flashing.
If you wan get OTA later on, I believe you have to create a nandroid backup using a custom recovery of your stock
or flash a RUU which requires S-OFF.
Check out the warning in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431515
Also, I confirmed I can't do it because I unlocked the bootloader but rumrunner keeps giving me an error something like "you need insecure bootloader or root su or fu"
That's why I think I can't s-off anymore.
So I'm just looking for steps to run a custom Rom and gain root access with s-on and also what are my limitations with s-on?
Lastly if I needed to, would I be able to get back stock enough to flash ota?
Please delete this post. Accidental double post.

Nevermind, I just successfully gained S-OFF using rumrunner! I had to htcdev unlock the bootloader AND gain root access and I tried it and it took a while, but it worked!!
In case anyone else has this problem, I had s-off before then i went back s-on and fully stock to get a warranty fix for my camera. When I got it back, I tried to get s-off again by rumrunner, but I kept encountering an error that said "ERROR: looks like device is not rooted AND lacks an unsecure kernel. SU or FU!!"
I did have an unlocked bootloader, so I didn't know why I was getting that. I assumed that my device was no longer able to achieve s-off because according to a post (see post above this) it warned that going back s-on after s-off will result in an non-s-offable device and I didn't encounter this error when I did it the first time.
But, I thought I might as well root it and try again.
I flashed a custom recovery and flashed a superSU zip file to gain root access.
I tried rumrunner again and after a little while, it worked!!
Hi guys! I just got my brand new htc one (m7) with this stock software:
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
HBOOT-1.55.0000

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909

eMMC-boot 2048MB
Oct 29 2013,17:34:05.0
HBOOT
Xperia's are easily rooted, deodexed, unlocked, re-locked, downgraded, etc. and if I want to revert to stock, i'll just flash stock FTF and return to warranty unlike HTC phones there's this hboot, s-off, etc. I read a lot of tutorials, noob guides, etc. but got confused on where to start. I just want root without unlocking bootloader or s-off and revert to stock when needed. Any tips guys? and how do you compare xperia development from htc's. Thanks guys.

you can only get temproot without unlocking the bootloader
the steps for your phone are
unlock bootloader @ htcdev.com
flash custom recovery (TWRP 2.6.3.3 preferred)
Make a Nandroid Backup
Flash SuperSU
reboot and enjoy

Yes,unlocking bootloader is must if you want to get permanent root.Further, if you want to return to complete stock in future,you should think about getting S-Off too.I have had a lot of problem because i can't get S-Off .But you should study before you do anything. Unlocking bootloader will result in loss of data/preload* apps which is a serious problem if you want to get future official OTA updates.If you unlock bootloader,u have to flash data/preload apps again if an official OTA update comes in near future. The most serious part is that the OTA updates check md5 of the apps intalled,so each app of data/preload must have the same md5 as before.But, if you are planning to use custom roms and you don't want official updates, that is not going to be a problem.There are several things that should be carefully studied before you do anything.I can give you a head start on what items to study.
1.check your CID ,mid,firmware version and note it.
2.Search OTA which matches your CID,mid and firmware version, it contains the stock recovery,data/preload apps which you may need in future.
3.Try to learn about S-ON/S-OFF, their uses and implications.
4.Do study about how OTA affects your chances to get S-OFF which you may need in future during serious problems.
5. try to read more and more through the forum, this is must.
Lastly,if you need comprehensive details on unlocking bootloader,flashing recovery,rooting and more, go through the video tutorials by "Sakitech" on youtube.I found them the most useful ones.And. last but not the least, this is all my opinion.Good luck!:good:

he mentions the OTA contains files you may need in the future ... it's of no use to you now your already above that version. When you unlock the bootloader your phone gets wiped and you loose (everything) a folder called data/preload
that's needed later to take a new OTA update. That folder can sometimes be retrieved from an old OTA package.
I know it seems confusing now but it will all be simple once you start doing it.

In my opinion, unlock your bootloader,intall custom recovery, and root. After you do all these steps, your device's bootloader menu will show tampered and unlocked flag.So, if you want to remove those flags in future, you will strictly need S-OFF. So, you could see how important is it to get S-OFF. Getting S-OFF gets harder as the hboot version of your phone increases and hboot version normally increases after official software update. In some cases, you will need to use premium apps like Moonshine to get S-OFF.So i advice you to unlock bootloader, intall custom recovery,root and then get S-OFF. Having all of them gives you entire freedom in modding. But, after having S-OFF, you will also need to be more responsible when you flash things. That's why, i told you to read as much as possible. If you want to do what i told you, follow these steps.
1.unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and root.Link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJYAS2KN17Y
2.to get S-OFF, try: http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
3. During the end of second step, if you get "Whelp it sucks,no amount of re-flashing custom roms and kernel will do", you will need moonshine to S-OFF. Since it is a premium app,AFAIK, you will need to pay 25$. But, before you pay, they will make sure whether or not will it work on you device.Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291087, http://moonshine.io/

To gain permanent root access:
I'm gonna need to unlock bootloader first;
Make a stock nandroid (with stock recovery intact via cmd fastboot boot recovery.img);
Install custom recovery and install SuperSU.zip
To revert to 100% stock:
I'm gonna be needing S-OFF. (i'm on 1.57 so I'm gonna search for it.)
flash my stock nandroid
flash stock recovery (if fastboot boot recovery.img didnt work)
lock recovery
fix tampered/relock flag

yes but downgrade only if needed (like to return to stock) You must have s-off to downgrade and use this RUU. Once downgraded you can take ota to re-update your phone.

just confirm that the ruu match your MID and CID
CID and MID of the ruu can be found in the android-info.txt file of the ruu

or
to revert to stock
flash the 2.24.708.4 RUU.zip which will also flash the stock recovery
remove flags etc etc
you might want to take a look at nkk71's guide to returning 100% stock (linked in my sig)

yes hboot will also be downgraded. You will not loose s-off when flashing a ruu. Only turn s-on back if you must send the phone for warranty.
