Is there any way for me to downgrade my ISC to GB?
Flash the GB ROM and corresponding kernel of your choice. You just can't go back to the old hboot... but can still flash GB ROMS on the new hboot.

Thanks for the help but I do not have my phone rooted right now. I've been trying for like the past hours with the all in one kit from hasooon, but I cannot seem to get it to work. I have unlocked my bootloader already. Would that be the reason why?

Could be. I'm pretty sure you need to relock your bootloader before running the RUU...
Is there a way to relock my bootloader? Also, I was trying from your superguide eariler but I just got super confused. If you could help me, that would be great.
I actually have ICS updated from GB today with the new AT&T. Now that I've updated my OS, I have no idea how to root my phone anymore because there are only posts for 2.3.4 GB. I've actually tried the permroot from hasoon, but I can't seem to get that to work.
Well, to relock the bootloader, you can either use hasoon2000's Vivid All-In-One Toolkit, which has pretty much everything you need to relock the bootloader.
Otherwise, you boot into the bootloader and into fastboot, and follow the steps for relocking the bootloader in part 6 of the Superguide.

I actually have a question. I can't boot into bootloader by holding down power and down volume...
Successfully relocked my bootloader. Many thanks!
Okay now to root my phone. Could you tell me the exact steps to do it? I am having a lot of trouble. I run it with debugging USB on, it will then restart my phone, first it will appear something like a circle with a down arrow inside it. Afterwards, there will be a triangle icon that's red with another arrow. On the Command, it will say device not found for all files then press any key.
Appreciate your help!

You need to unlock your bootloader once again. Then root it. Use the All-In-One toolkit, it will be much easier.
unlock bootloader > then flash the wcx recovery and that should root it.

So all I need to do is unlock bootloader once again, flash the wcx recovery, then I'll be good to go. I think the reason is because I flashed the first CMW recovery. That may be the reason.

Yea, the CWM is a bad idea on the Vivid. Wildchild did a very good job with his WCX recovery. Just unlock your phone again, then click the flash WCX recovery. Wildchild made his recovery so that when flashed, it would automatically give root.

I actually downgraded my phone from ICS to GB. I rooted my phone with zergrush. With my phone unlocked, now it went from temproot, to permroot. I am actually trying to find a rom for my phone that I can play around with without getting bored. I want to just leave it as S-On instead of off. Hope you can help with a little bit with that.

You should be able to run a RUU, but I would unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP, then a Rom. If you can reach fastboot then you shouldn't be worried.
I dont even think you can run custom recoveries without an unlocked bootloader.

Flash it back to stock using a sprint RUU (Rom Update Utility) . search the sprint HTC one forum for it download it to your computer and run the application (RUU) from your computer with your phone in bootloader mode with fastboot selected (highlighted) connected with the use cable. It will take approximately 10 minutes to flash. Thus will restore your phone to stock (factory). Make sure it's a Sprint stock rom for the HTC one. After it's back to stock. Unlock it.. Install TWRP RECOVERY. Download and copy the custom rom of your choice ( suggestion: VIPER ONE 1.1.0) to phone storage using the usb. Disconnect phone from computer and boot into bootloader and select recovery and wipe data.. Both caches and system then go to install and flash rom. Also make sure you flash superuser too before flashing the custom rom. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need help getting your phone functional.

I seek the advice of the masters here, or really anyone who can answer, lol. ATT converted to Dev Edition, 4.4, S-Off, stock recovery, bootloader relocked to run the 4.3 Brightstar RUU. Okay, tried to use stock recovery to change radio back to the 4.3, gives error remote not allowed. Tried to sideload it, not happening either. Figured I need unlocked bootloader, which makes no sense since I am S-Off. Tried to use my .bin file to unlock again, nope, says it doesn't match. That's fine, well, not really, but I can re-run to get another one, but, am I missing something here? Do I need to re-unlock bootloader to change the radio, and do I have to do it with CWM, or TWRP instead of stock?
Well, it sure does require unlocked bootloader so that you can flash a radio zip using a custom recovery. Once I did that it worked fine, still can't figure out why I had to get another unlock code though, that is just strange. Anyhow, mod can close thread, I figured it out.

FYI yes this is normal, you always need a new unlock code when your bootloader is locked again. Don't forget you can easily unlock bootloader without htcdev when you are s-off.

Hi,
My device is currently S-Off. I don't have root anymore and I relocked my bootloader. I'd like to be able to remove the test device message but all the links I found requires to have root or to go back to S-On. I tried using HTC DEV to unlock my bootloader again to flash custom recovery and then to flash supersu.zip but it didn't unlock my bootloader. I also tried to just do a fastboot boot customrecovery.img and also didn't work. Any idea if with S-Off, bootloacker relocked, no root access, I can removed the HTC test device message?
thanks

Check out this thread on unlocking your bootloader without HTCDev. If you are able to do that, then you should be able to flash a custom recovery. You can use the Guru Bootloader Reset tool to remove the tampered sign and I think the test device will go away.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was referring to but I can't run that since I don't have root access. If there could be a temporary way of getting root access with a locked bootloader and s-off, that could probably work to use what's being said in your link
1) Which is the best recovery? C-Mod or TWRP or any other, i mean i want that to support maximum number of stable roms and that is widely used by developers. Can you suggest me a link?
AND
2) For any rooting procedure you first have to S-Off, then unlock the bootloader, root, then install a recovery and flash a ROM..........right?
AND
3) How to be S-Off and rooted and have Locked as a message on the bootloader?

if you're still looking for this, root access is available in custom recovery (so no need to mess with the ROM), and with s-off you can flashed a masked firmware using ruu mode:

However, I can connect via fastboot so far, but I am not very good with it. I think I may also be able to push files, but when I attempted to flash SlimLP the device just reset.
TWRP is still present on the device, but I cannot unlock my bootloader without getting a ROM on there... So I am stuck...

First check here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
Get the sdk tools and once set up, see if you can do adb devices and have the phone show up on the PC, if so, do adb push (name of rom file) then boot to twrp and install. If that doesn't work, check the same page above (since you don't have an OS not sure what would happen) try the unlock instructions for fastboot ( I would wait for someone else to comment before trying this). You might want to message this user http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2872010 rootSU and see if he can give guidance, he has lots of experience.
